dealing with cresford Friday afternoon and no one home... see my thread at http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=10234 thx

wow. I just called Cresford, identified myelf as "Yossi Kaplan of Harvey Kalles Real Estate" and asked to speak with the person dealing with contract and assignments. The receptionist did not understand what I was talking about at all. So far, that's understandable. I was transferred to...

no.

Excellent, good luck!

Bsn From the outside it may look a long time, but if you ask a project manager you will discover that work on the inside takes time as well and that the PM may shift workers as required. The fact that balconies are not finished means nothing. Look at the new Success, or Luna, balconies are...

you're looking at approx 18-24 months for Lumiere and 28-36 months for Burano. These estimates will change with construction, weather, etc.

MoZo I am involved with MoZo as my clients have units there, we have sold, bought and leased at that site. The management is fair, the building is well kept and values seem to be holding very nicely. If you'd like specific information please contact us through email or through the office...

500 sq ft condos There are multiple reasons 1 - affordability. in 1999 I bought a 700 sq ft for 140,000 (200PSF) Today if you can't afford 250k (500-550 sq ft) you should consider renting 2 - more units for young uni grads 3 - immigration - used to living in smaller spaces 4 - improvements...

Dave this is based on my practice not on some reprot I found somewhere.

Your deposits are held In Trust by the builder's lawyer. You get a "Evidence of Compliance" letter with each deposit. If the builder goes under you get the deposit back with small interest. It happened to me before and had no issues. However it may be a while before developer officially goes...

Been to all of them many times and they are great in comparison to similar bldgs in town.

The older bldgs (33-55-65-77-99 Harbour Square) should also be considered as they have free shuttle into the city, a built-in restaurant, the largest facilities and spacious units topped with many indoor and outdoors amenities. They are also right across from the TTC takes you right into Union...

I commend his achievement but it's unrealistic for most people. Here's how he paid down his $180,000 mortgage in 5 years from the figures published in the article: - year 1: paid $15,400 mortgage payments; - year 2: paid $15,400 mortgage payments; - year 3: paid $15,400 mortgage payments; - year...

John Heinzl Last updated on Wednesday, Sep. 23, 2009 07:00PM EDT What if I told you there was an ultrasafe investment that paid 6 or 7 per cent annually, guaranteed? Would you be interested? No, it's not a Ponzi scheme. It's not a stock, either. Neither is guaranteed, in case you...

Simlus thx for clarifying you're right on. As for freebies - it really depends on many factors, I do my best to get my new dev buyers as much as possible, and we did get parking not too long ago for a beautiful new unit for under 300k. Basically if you're an agent known to bring good buyers...

+450psf Hey Dave, There's no "official" way to judge PSF b/c no builder will ever guarantee you the square footage of any condo, note that in the marketing material it'll say the sq. ft. but in the contract there are no dimensions, and you'll fins a sentence saying something like "marketing...
