WITH GARY MACRAE · ETOBICOKE REAL ESTATE BROKER & REALTOR®.
Your next home should fit
the life you want to live.
Whether you need more room, less upkeep or a different neighbourhood, buying starts with understanding what matters to you. We help buyers in Etobicoke, Toronto and the GTA find homes that suit their priorities.
We’ll help you compare properties, recognise trade-offs and make sense of the buying process. When you find a home you want, we’ll explain your options and negotiate with your goals in mind.
How we help you buy well.
Start with what matters to you.
We’ll talk about how you live now and what you need from your next home. More space, less maintenance, a shorter commute or room for family may shape your search. Together, we’ll separate the essentials from the nice-to-haves so you can compare homes with a clear purpose.
Look beyond the listing photos.
We’ll help you assess the layout, condition, location and how a property fits your priorities. We’ll point out trade-offs, identify questions worth asking and help you decide when further information or a professional inspection is needed. A beautiful kitchen is lovely. The rest of the home needs to work for you too.
Make an offer you understand.
When you find a home you want, we’ll review comparable sales and discuss the price and terms of your offer. We’ll explain the conditions, deposit and closing date, then negotiate with your priorities in mind. You’ll understand what you’re agreeing to before deciding how to proceed.
Plan the move as well as the purchase.
If you also have a home to sell, we’ll help you plan how the two transactions fit together. We’ll discuss timing, closing dates and the steps ahead so you know what needs attention. Where needed, we’ll coordinate with your mortgage professional and lawyer to help keep the process moving.
Buying with more confidence and less stress
Buying in Toronto felt stressful for Rossana Ferrer. In her review, she describes how Sandra and Gary guided her through the purchase, did the hard work and helped reduce that stress. What stood out was their professionalism, integrity and experience, and the confidence she felt in their advice.
“They are so professional and trustworthy!”

Buying and selling, with a plan for both
Kate Savage and her partner wanted to sell their condo and move into a house. They valued Gary’s patience, upfront advice and clear explanations, along with an initial meeting with Sandra and Gary to understand the process. In her review, Kate describes feeling secure, heard and supported through both the purchase and sale.
“His honesty and constant communication left this young couple feeling very secure, heard and very happy!”

Your home-buying questions,
answered.
Where do I start if I want to buy a home?
Can you help us move into a larger home?
Start by clarifying what you need from your next home and speaking with a mortgage professional about your budget. Then we’ll help you identify suitable neighbourhoods, set priorities and understand the steps ahead. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk.
Yes. Whether you need another bedroom, space to work from home or more room for family, we’ll help you explore homes that fit your changing needs. We’ll consider layout, location and upkeep alongside size, so your next home works better for your daily life.
Should I sell my current home before buying?
Do you only help buyers in Etobicoke?
Will we work directly with Sandra and Gary?
There’s no single answer that suits everyone. The right sequence depends on your finances, the homes available and how comfortable you are with uncertainty. We’ll talk through the trade-offs with you and coordinate with your mortgage professional so you understand your options before committing.
Etobicoke is our home base and a key focus, but we also help buyers elsewhere in Toronto and the GTA. Tell us where you’re considering moving, and we’ll discuss how we can help. For destinations farther away, we can connect you with a real estate professional in that area.
Yes. We personally guide your search, help you assess properties and handle your offer strategy and negotiation. We work with other professionals when needed, but you’ll have direct access to us throughout your purchase. When you hire Sandra & Gary, you get Sandra & Gary.
