Toronto & Etobicoke Real Estate Expertise
I work with buyers and sellers throughout Toronto and the GTA, with particular experience in Etobicoke and Toronto West communities including Princess-Rosethorn, The Kingsway, Bloor West Village, High Park, The Junction and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Thinking About Downsizing in Toronto or Etobicoke?
Downsizing isn't simply about selling a large house and buying a smaller one. For many longtime homeowners, it means sorting through decades of belongings, deciding where to live next, preparing and selling the family home, coordinating a move and dealing with a lot of emotions along the way.

As an SRES® and experienced Toronto Real Estate Broker, I help homeowners create a practical plan for the entire transition, including preparing and selling their current home and determining what comes next.


Sandra's Advice: 

Should I Downsize My Toronto Home?

Thinking About Downsizing in Toronto or Etobicoke?

Downsizing can sound simple: sell the house, buy something smaller and move. In reality, there can be a lot more to figure out.

Should you sell before you buy? Where will you go? What do you do with decades of belongings? Is a condo or bungalow the better choice? And perhaps most importantly, how do you know if you’re actually ready to move?

I’ve been helping people buy and sell real estate in Toronto and the GTA for nearly 30 years, and as an SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), I understand that downsizing is about much more than selling a house.

I help my clients understand their options, determine what their current home may be worth and create a practical plan for what comes next. There’s no obligation to sell and no need to have everything figured out before we talk.

Real Estate Is About More Than the House

Some moves are more complicated than others. Whether you’re helping a parent sell a longtime family home or planning your own next move, 
having the right advice and support can make an enormous difference.

Helping a Parent Sell Their Home? 

                                                                        Selling a parent’s longtime home can involve financial decisions, family dynamics, decades of belongings and a lot of emotion. In this video, I talk about some of the things families should consider and how I can help make the process more manageable.

So Gary, let's talk about what we do, how do we make sure that our buyers don't overpay. This market can change from week-to-week, day-to-day, hour-to-hour, sometimes. So if you're not on top of things you are at a real disadvantage. If the person who's representing you doesn't have that insight, that foresight you're probably going to overpay for something. We use more than one method to evaluate the fair market value of that property today, not last week, not last moths. We know how to do this, we've been doing this for over 40 years. So we've seen it all, we've seen highs and lows - we've seen properties go for crazy prices and we've seen property sell for prices that might surprise you by being low. We know what's happening in the market - we have our finger on the pulse. And that's what you need - Savvy Realtors who are hard working full-time agents. At any time you're going to know exactly why we're suggesting the price we are. In the end it's your decision but we're going to break it down and you're going to see on paper why we're suggesting the price we are. There's going to be rhyme and reason, we're not just pulling numbers out of the air. And the list price is merely a suggestion.

We do everything, we use traditional real estate methods and we also use new digital & technologically advanced systems to sell your property. Maximum exposure is definitely important. We leave no stone unturned. And our services are guaranteed in writing.

You know it's the right time to make the move. It is a huge step in your life whether you are 
buying your new home or sell your current property. 

It can be challenging and overwhelming to navigate the real estate market and make the best 
decision that fits your needs and wants. 

We are here to make it easy for you. With 45 years of combined experience under our belts we 
cannot wait to guide you though your big life transition. 

                                                                                               I spent several years helping homebuyers on HGTV's Property Virgins and later hosted Buy Herself, a series devoted to helping women purchase real estate on their own. Those experiences reinforced something I've believed throughout my career: good real estate advice isn't about telling people what to do. It's about giving them the information and confidence to make good decisions for themselves.

We're Here To Guide You Though the Real Estate Market 

MEET Sandra Rinomato

I’ve been helping people buy and sell real estate in Toronto and the GTA for nearly 30 years. Together with my husband and business partner, Gary MacRae, I’ve built my business around something pretty simple: listen carefully, tell people the truth and help them get where they want to go.

I understand that a home is much more than a piece of real estate. It represents your family, your accomplishments, your memories and often a very significant part of your financial future. That’s why I believe you should always understand your options, remain in control of your decisions and move at your own pace.

You may know me as the former host of HGTV’s Property Virgins and Buy Herself. Those years gave me the opportunity to help homebuyers on television, but my real estate career has always been about working directly with buyers and sellers throughout Toronto and the GTA.

Today, I have a particular interest in helping longtime homeowners, downsizers and families facing major real estate transitions. As an SRS® Seller Representative Specialist and SRES® Seniors Real Estate Specialist, I combine decades of experience with practical advice, strong negotiation and a network of trusted professionals who can help make a move much less overwhelming.

Whether you’re selling, buying, downsizing or simply wondering what your options are, you don’t need to have everything figured out before you call me.

Sometimes the first step is simply a conversation.
