My wife and I worked with Josie Stern on the sale of our home at 502 Rushton Road. I have to say that throughout the process, no matter the time or day Josie was always available to answer even the smallest question.
The preparation of our home was a lot of work and I must admit that I wondered why all these things were necessary. Well, after my house sold for 100K above the asking price I knew why these things were necessary. Josie and her team executed everything to perfection from assisting with staging, arranging the home inspection, and following up each day to ensure everything was going to script.

I have known Josie Stern for 15 years, during which time I purchased two houses and sold one with her. What continues to impress me about Josie and her partner Valérie is their sincerity and knowledge. Whether buying or selling, they have their finger on the pulse of the market and proceed with dedication. Their vast real estate experience allows them to give invaluable advice. I appreciate their straightforward attitude which is always combined with the human touch. They have shown themselves to be the consummate professionals with incomparable real estate savvy.

I have had the exceptional pleasure of working with Josie and Val for the past 15 years. They have helped me sell or buy at least 5 properties. Their professional and unique approach, as well as their warm personalities, have brought me success in my real estate transactions. Each time I was impressed by their skill and winning style which left me as one very satisfied customer.
They are intelligent, educated, professional, and successful. Each day as I drive in my neighbourhood, I am in awe at how many properties are listed with them and how quickly they sell.
Many of my colleagues and friends have worked with them and share my opinion. Josie and Val are a winning team and their years of dedication to their business has brought them success, loyal clients, and respect in the community. I feel proud to have them as professional allies and as friends whom I trust to get the job done in the most ethical and professional manner.

For the last 9 years I have followed Josie Stern at many of her open houses in the area, and as time went by, I realized she was a highly professional REALTOR®. The way she marketed and presented her sellers’ homes was masterful, and I knew that when the time came to sell my house I didn’t need to look further for the very best person to handle the sale of my own property.
She sold my daughter’s condo before my house and, even though it wasn’t a high-end property, she went the extra mile to make sure my daughter got the best price in the least amount of time. The time frame for having one’s property on the market is also important as leaving it on for months is one of the most stressful ventures of any one’s life.

In March 2009, the Toronto real estate market was in the doldrums brought on by the collapse of the US banking system. Fear gripped sellers and buyers and the market was at a standstill. Few people were thinking of trading up to a bigger house. Josie and Valérie met with my wife and me and presented us with a scenario that actually made sense.
They explained that it was cheaper to move to a bigger house now than it had been for years since prices had dropped about 15% in Toronto in the previous 6 months. We knew we would get less for our current house but trading up was more feasible because the house we wanted to buy had come down by more money so the spread to buy had actually decreased.

When we recently purchased our home, we were very impressed with Josie’s patience, honesty, and professionalism. Our rather exacting requirements didn’t faze her at all, and her confidence that we would find just the right house encouraged us during the stress of house hunting. Likewise, when she helped us sell our previous home, her advice and promotional efforts were excellent. Josie has the ability, whether you are buying or selling, to make you feel as though you are her most important client. We highly recommend her services.
