The best realtor for condos in Toronto knows buildings, not just neighbourhoods: fee per square foot, reserve fund studies, special assessments, rental and pet rules, and how your unit compares with others for sale in the same building. In August 2026, City of Toronto condo apartments averaged $651,648 and sold at 96% of asking after 39 days, so building-level pricing and status certificate review matter more than ever.
What a condo specialist actually does
- Prices from sales in your building and the buildings a buyer will cross-shop.
- Reads the status certificate and reserve fund study with you.
- Knows which buildings have had special assessments, litigation or fee jumps.
- Understands rules on rentals, short-term rentals, pets and renovations.
- Presents floor, view, parking, locker and fees clearly.

Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

What moved the number

Market context
—
—
Two units, same floor plan,
$90,000 apart.
That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
Where I fit
I am Jatin Dua, Broker of Record at RE/MAX Quantum Realty, based at 799 The Queensway and working across Toronto and the GTA. I publish building-level research in the Etobicoke condo directory and compare fees in how to compare condo fees.
Five checks for any agent
Use these with everyone you interview, including me.
| What to check | How to check it yourself | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Search the name on RECO’s public register; confirm category and brokerage | Name not found, or brokerage differs from the business card |
| Local sales evidence | Ask for units sold in your building or pocket in the past 12 months, with addresses | “Top 1%” with no comparison group or period |
| Pricing method | Ask which three sales they would anchor your price to, and why | A number with no comparables, or a number far above every comparable |
| Representation | Ask how client versus self-represented status applies to you under TRESA | Vague answers about who they work for when both sides are involved |
| Contract terms | Read the holdover period, cancellation terms and the commission split in writing | Pressure to sign the same day |
The takeaway
Hire a condo agent who works at the building level: sales in your building, fees per square foot, reserve fund health, special assessments and building rules. With Toronto condos at 96% of asking after 39 days in August 2026, that precision is what gets a unit sold or bought well.
