Testimonials

There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.

So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs...


Eugene Palermo 


From the cheering section

112 George St 1905 - Vu Living Condominium

“Eugene recently represented us in the listing and sale of our downtown Toronto condo. We were very appreciative of his knowledge of the downtown market, in particular the St. Lawrence Market area, and his highly attentive service. He always kept us fully informed and ensured our condo was ready for viewing. The pace of the entire process, from pre-listing dialogue to a painless closing, ensured minimal disruption. We would highly recommend.

Eugene has been my trusted advisor for many years with both, buying and selling residential property. He is knowledgeable of the market and addresses inquiries and offers promptly so that opportunities are not missed. Strategies are well thought out and discussed, and he goes the extra mile to achieve the best possible outcome. I recommend Eugene 100%. - Juliana French

65 Scadding Ave 912

I was referred to Eugene by a trusted realtor who had retired. Eugene helped me to sell my condo which my late father had lived in. Eugene immediately understood the emotional aspect of the sale for me. I never felt rushed into any decision but instead gently guided forward. Eugene helped me to plan the preparation for sale, arranged great contractors and excellent staging. He was attentive to all the coordination and I felt I had a great project manager in addition to realtor. He brought a great depth of experience and knowledge to discussions on pricing.  Finally,  Eugene managed offer day with patience and gracious professionalism. 

I highly recommend Eugene as a realtor.

Dealing with Eugene was a delight. Always available, attentive and extremely professional. Our's was a delicate situation, selling our family home. Eugene was recommended to us and we have to say, we never imagined someone in the business to be so kind and caring . He did all the right things to assist in making this emotional process as stress free as he possibly could. We do not normally post. But we felt we needed to spread the word, if your looking for the best.
Thank you Eugene!!! Reg and Irene

If you are looking for a dedicated, hard working and knowledgeable agent - with loads of experience.- Eugene is you guy. I recently used Eugene to find a house, in the competitive Toronto market. So thrilled with my new home. An expert negotiator --- plus I was surprised by all the "off market" deals he showed me ( guess that comes with being in the business so long). Highly Recommend.

Jovette Howe

Eugene is the most understanding,humourous,patient & kind agent I've met....and I can say that because I have lived all over the world & dealt with many real estate agents through the years!!!  He has become a friend & I am so happy  that in my 'old' years I have found someone I can trust to do business with. 
                Bravo Eugene...  Jovette Howe

"We are so happy to be able to write this testimonial for Eugene. We have known Eugene since 2016, when we first moved to Toronto looking to rent an apartment. Since then we have only trusted Eugene as our realtor, trusting his expertise to buy and sell our first condo and purchasing our next property! We have trusted Eugene with all of our housing decisions and are truly grateful for all he has done for our family. Eugene always has a positive, honest and professional attitude. He goes above and beyond his responsibilities to ensure his clients are happy and comfortable through the real estate market roller coaster. We hope to continue working with Eugene in the years to come and will always trust his advice."
 

206 Macpherson Ave

I enthusiastically recommend Eugene and Marian to help with your house sale (or purchase, for that matter).  Several years ago, Eugene guided me expertly through the purchase of my condo, so I turned to him again when I had to sell a house for an estate. He brought Marian into the picture and the two worked together seamlessly as a team, dealing with the complications that arose in selling a house during the pandemic with patience and good humour, and leading to a great result.  I am very happy to  recommend them.

Eugene, I want to thank you again for your help in selling our condo. You made the whole process effortless, took care of all the coordination of staging and renovation, hooked us up with great professionals, and provided accurate assessments of timelines and costs. Your involvement took a LOT of the stress out of a very stressful time for us, and we are very grateful indeed that we were able to have you in our corner.

236 Bain Ave Sale and 500 Sherbourne St 2806

Ours has been a 27 year journey with Eugene.  Two guys, new to a relationship, approach Eugene to kick some tires on the real estate market, not looking to buy right away but interested in seeing what is out there.  Within days of our day out with Eugene, we bought a spectacular home that we did not even know we wanted as it was not the fixer upper we had envisioned.  When we outgrew that place Eugene insisted that we look at what would be our home for 23 years.  We laughed when told the price but I remember Eugene’s words to this day – “You cannot afford not to buy this place”.  No truer words have ever been spoken as last year we sold that property for a record price 6 times what we paid for it.  And now we are in our home in the sky and we are loving it.  And in that transaction Eugene negotiated a price $50,000 below the asking price.  We have entrusted our real estate transactions to Eugene and we have recommended him to many family and friends.  He is truly a professional with a great skill set.  We are comfortable having him on our side and truly happy to call him a friend.

How do you sell a condo when you are in another country, and your realtor is another country, and there is a world wide pandemic ? You call Eugene Palermo - that is how! After 7 years of working together and multiple transactions I cannot think of anyone better to recommend to help you with such a huge life event. Realtor, advisor, friend, psychologist, mover, stager and so on and so forth are the hats Eugene must wear when dealing with someone as anxious as I am and from the moment you think you want to sell to the final second you hand off the keys, he is there. Eugene I am grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for everything you have done !

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

If you’re reading this review, let me tell you - you’ve found the best agent in the city! I first met Eugene as the representative for the condo I was purchasing. I was immediately impressed by his attention to detail about the space, his passion for the city and knowledge of the area. Eugene and I kept in touch post sale. He kept me ‘in the know’ of places to check out in my new hood and we became friends. He became my first choice to list with when I decided to sell. Eugene went above and beyond the call - as an agent and a friend - and I highly recommend him as an agent. He will take the stress out of your hands and make the process enjoyable. Always available to take your call and always pleasant! You’ll immediately see why he has so many rave reviews! And he sold our condo in a saturated, difficult market. Book with Eugene. You’ll be glad you did!

Dgoreski

Seller of 158 Fulton Ave & Buyer for 33 Lombard St 1709

Eugene Came across my radar five years ago. He was referred by a contact who rated him A+++ after several family real estate transactions. After completing the profile he asked me to provide regarding what I wanted in a condo, I quickly realized I wasn’t yet ready to give up my home of close to 40 years. But this past July, I decided I was ready. Eugene was nonplussed by the years that had passed. He listened while I shared both dreams and needs. He then showed me four condo units in different buildings. I fell in love with the first one I visited, went back a second time and then purchased it. Next came the sale of my home. Again, Eugene acted quickly, but with sensitivity, candour and transparency. He drew on decades of experience together with ongoing research and consultations with fellow brokers throughout all major decision-making. The house was listed. The SOLD sign went up short days later. I confess that throughout the ten short weeks it took to both purchase and sell, there were a number of personal ups and downs. But Eugene was always there for me with humour, compassion, facts, and, like every good coach, constant words of encouragement. I could not recommend anyone more highly for real estate buying and selling than Eugene Palermo. Mille Grazie!

Suzanne Firth

Sellers of 48 Saulter St

When we decided to buy a house back in 1999, Eugene was the natural choice having been friends for many years.  Eugene’s challenge was the enormous square peg of requirements we presented to him and the tiny round hole of a budget into which we asked him to fit it.  As it turned out, even after some reshaping of both, there was nothing on the market that fit our needs.  This is where we benefitted from Eugene’s many years of experience and the many clients and contacts acquired over those years.  Eugene found us a property that was not for sale and negotiated a deal that    made both the sellers and buyers very happy.

 21 years later, Eugene knew exactly where we were in our thinking and guided us expertly to what we believe was the top price with the least effort for that property.   Thank you Eugene for everything you have done for us and for being such a trusted and trusting friend and agent.

Steve Spera & Craig Chase

Sellers of 48 Saulter St 

Sellers of 120 Homewood Ave PH09

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Eugene on two separate real estate transactions over the past three years. Eugene has a very warm, friendly personality and is very easy to work with. We benefited from Eugene’s insights and advice honed over his many years in the Toronto real estate market.  His professional sales approach resulted in the sale of our first condo over asking in a few days. More recently, Eugene developed a sound sales strategy and excellent marketing materials to sell our second condo in under two weeks. We highly recommend Eugene to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.


Greg Shick & John Malloy

Buyers of 421 Sackville St

 We have been looking in Cabbagetown for a few years while trying to learn what we liked and wanted for our first home. Eugene’s knowledge and expertise was irreplaceable in this process. He helped us understand the area better and explained important details about the houses we were seeing. Eugene coached us through the entire process of buying our first home and whenever something didn’t work out he kept our spirits high because he knew the right thing would come along. 

Eugene was always available when we needed him and would take the time to call and review our likes and dislikes about different homes. He was always very professional and never let us settle for less. He gave great, honest advise and was very patient. One day, he even took us to see 6 houses in 3 hours. 
 
When we finally found the place we’d been looking for it was Eugene’s expertise and negotiating that ultimately got us our home, which wouldn’t have been possible without him.
 
 
Thanks,
Emma  & Chris

Dave & Ralph 40 Homewood Ave

Thanks for checking in.
 
By the way - I want you to know that we feel you have been more than professional through this. I know we are friends but we feel it important to let you know we appreciate your level of professionalism that you have maintained through this especially when things got difficult. It has been a pleasure having you as our agent and being involved at every turn in a way that is very much recognized as top notch.

Others have branding that says they rise to the top - but that is simply not true - However you have proven to us who does Rise To the Top of the Professional Ladder and it was very much shown and very much appreciated.
 
Thank You So Much For Everything

I am also writing you to say what I should have said last evening... YES I have finally gotten the full whack at the great deal you pull off for me/us !

+-


AND it was soo easy... well the way you did it... before going to market and all that means... telling it like it was to the other Agent before the sale !!!

not having to declutter for a few weeks... not having to keep the place spotless for the staging, picture taking , then  showing & until it is sold...

no having to get out of the way  when the buyers want to see the place !!! not having to worry... will they?  won’t they ? and on & On.

I can’t thank you enuff Eugene for showing me how a sale is done by a pro... thank you , thank you.

Greg & Maryanne Traversey, 168 King St East Suite1604

The closing/move went flawlessly for us - thanks for recommending Larry and You Move Me - both were terrific ! Thanks also for the beautiful champagne ! Most of all thank you for all your superb professional advice and support over the years - you have always been the magician who made our real estate dreams come true with amazing speed and convenience and this deal has been the perfect  example. Many, many ,many thanks!!!


168 King St East #1109

Now that the sale of our condo has completed I wanted to write to you to thank you for the way that you handled the whole process on our behalf.  As overseas residents it was particularly important to us to have someone who we could trust to advise us and to proactively manage the sale.  Based on the comparables that you and other realtors gave to us we are very happy with the price we achieved.  Doing it as a private sale as quickly as you did was quite amazing.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone selling a condo in Toronto. Best regards,

Kurt Christensen - Kingsway Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage

I must say I am very impressed with your professionalism and attention to details. It is an extreme pleasue to work with you. After 31 years of real estate throughout Ontario and mostly in  Scarborough where I was a City Councillor I have not met a better realtor than you. You are A-OK.


Annette Sanger 33 Lombard St 4302 Toronto

We just sold our downtown condo with Eugene and can hardly believe how smooth and pleasant the process was - in this case Eugene was representing both us and the purchasers. We feel that the outcome was totally fair to both parties, business was conducted most professionally, and overall it was a win-win situation with everyone ending up happy. +-


Thank you again, Eugene. You have superb intuition, are absolutely trustworthy and, even more, are a real friend to us. In sum, you are the best!


Ro Clo

I strongly recommend using Eugene's excellent service. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable and patient. He helped me navigate the process of buying a condo in St Lawrence Market where he knows the pros and cons of every single building. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. All in all, a great experience.


RC Toronto

We have bought and sold with Eugene for a few years now and have always been impressed with the results. Eugene is very knowledgeable and personable, and a pleasure to work with. He advised us on numerous areas of our purchases and sales with exceptional results. I would recommend Eugene to anyone looking for a stellar agent that will get you results.


Qaid Silk  740 Crawford St,  & 63 St Clair Ave west 902

Thanks to a strong recommendation from a friend, we met Eugene and chose him to help us both buy a condo and sell our house. His patient guidance and solid knowledge about the city helped us immensely in educating ourselves about the condo market.


+-

Through that learning, we developed a better understanding of our preferences and priorities. We found Eugene to be an excellent and seasoned sherpa, guiding us across what was for us an unknown terrain. Over time, we learnt that we could trust him, and when the crunch came we readily took his advice. The results greatly surpassed our expectations, financially as well as in excitement about the condo we purchased.


Whilst working with him, we have come to value his integrity and careful attention to our needs. Eugene is a consummate professional. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him as an agent.


Ann Marie Carrol

I have known Eugene for 15 years and he has helped me and other members of my family buy, sell and lease several properties. He is extremely competent and knowledgeable and a true pleasure to work with. I have recommended him to others without hesitation and do so again now. It is an understatement to say that Eugene goes above and beyond – I’d say he is not just my agent, but I also consider him a good friend.


Quinn Askland  Toronto Ontario

Within 30 seconds of meeting Eugene we felt confident we were with the right person. Prior to meeting Eugene, I found some aspects of selling our house to be stressful but I feel sure a great amount of this stress was taken away and made simple and sweet. We are very grateful.


Celia Cain 135 George St Toronto

Eugene is an extraordinary agent! 14 years ago, I flew in from abroad on a 5 day trip. Not only did Eugene find me the right condo in the perfect location the first day of showing, he gave me options, information, and all the time I needed to learn what I actually wanted and where I wanted to live so I could be confident buying my first home. We loved it so much we stayed until the suburbs were absolutely required. He helped us remember our priorities and exclude certain areas, and after we narrowed down our search to an area outside his expertise, he recommended a colleague who found us a beautiful home.


+-

Then, Eugene sold our condo for the full asking price the first day it was on the market, saving us much expense and worry. I've recommended him to all my Toronto house-hunting friends and will continue to do so.


John Lusink

Eugene is a wealth of knowledge and understands how to truly look after his clients in a no pressure and caring manner. You couldn't be in better hands.


James Kippen, Fulton Ave and Lombard St

We have known and worked with Eugene for almost 20 years, and he has always maintained the highest professional standards in all his dealings with us. He isn't the kind of person who tells you just what you want to hear, but rather he respectfully offers his expertise, insights, and his uncanny intuitions so that you always know where precisely you stand and what to expect in relation to the market. His patience is extraordinary: the first time we worked with him it took us well over 2 years to find exactly what we wanted. Nowhere in that process did we feel the slightest pressure to settle for something less than ideal.

+-


We haven't hesitated to recommend him to many of our friends, all of whom have had exceptional experiences working with him. We wouldn't have done that unless we trusted Eugene entirely. Simply put, he's truly the kind of person you want on your team.


Tood Kilpatrick 90 Broadview Ave & 33 Lombard St 4503

We have worked with Eugene on a number of real estate transactions over the last 10 years and have always 're-hired' him. He knows the Toronto market really well and has helped us get the right price or the right property. He provides great advice in terms of pros and cons in a very professional manner.


Annette Dukzsta

Eugene was recommended by a friend after I started thinking of downsizing. He was thoughtful and considerate and helped me understand my various choices without any pressure whatsoever. For the sale of my own home he arranged a beautiful brochure with photos and floor plans. He helped me set the right target price and even suggested very minor furniture rearrangements to help listing agents and buyers better appreciate the appeal of the house. We sold quickly and exactly within the range he had predicted.

+-


As we began to visit listings, his comments and suggestions reflected his professional approach and how much he had noticed about how I personally reacted to various spaces and layouts. He absolutely understood what kind of space, and even what neighbourhood would work for me.


I could not recommend anyone more highly.


Sharon Rawlins

Eugene is an experienced, very knowledgeable, pleasant realtor. Our home sold for asking a mere 5 days after being listed and we got what we asked for. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.


Delane Cooper

The Toronto market can be a challenge to navigate whether one is a first time buyer/seller or an experienced buyer/seller. I've had the pleasure of working with Eugene Palermo to help with the first sale of our condo over a decade ago. Over the years, he's worked with us on the purchase and sale of our primary residences.

As one can imagine, the sale of a primary residence can be an emotional one. Eugene ensures the experience from listing to close is a positive experience and this needs no embellishment. Buying or selling a home is an experience that requires trust. Though I am in my 'forever' home outside of Toronto, I would trust Eugene to once again work with me should my 'forever' home concept change.

Christopher Ciavarella. 168 King St East

When I first spoke to Eugene to lease my condo he was in another country and would be there‎ for some time. I was skeptical about the service and attention to details that I would receive if I gave him the listing.

I can truly say ‎the service I received was exceptionally professional. From our initial conversation to the marketing of my suite was outstanding! Eugene always kept me informed, returned my calls promptly and provided timely market feedback about my suite.

I would without hesitation recommend Eugene Palermo as the real estate profession to exceed your expectations!


Nancy Campbell and Eamon Hoey  Merton Street Toronto and Lombard St

Nancy and I selected Eugene Palermo as our agent to sell our mid-town townhouse. We listed our property with Eugene after interviewing four agents. We chose Eugene because he had a strong well articulated marketing plan designed to sell our property.We liked his calm approach. At the end of the day it was his extensive network of high end agents with clients who would be interested in our property that was underpinning of his approach.At each stage of the sales process Eugene kept us well informed of the feedback he was receiving from the viewings. Best of all he did not insist on an open house, except for agents.

+-


Our faith in his professional abilities were confirmed when within a week he brought in three excellent offers.It was his research of recent sales and his strategic pricing that resulted in offers that were 20 to 25% over asking. He also prepared a very professional features list brochure with polished professional photographs. We were delighted with Eugene's efforts on our behalf.


Steve McGuinness and Gary Guthrie 168 King St E

We selected Eugene Palermo as an agent in connection with the sale of our downtown condo property.  We decided to list with him after interviewing three agents. We chose Eugene because he set out the strongest marketing plan to capitalize on the uniqueness of our unit, well balanced between a traditional "high touch" sales approach, while also capitalizing on the web and social media.  Our faith in his professional abilities were completely confirmed at each stage of the sales process. 

+-


First, Eugene led us through extensive recent sale "market comparables" research to strategically set our list price point. Second, he provided us with a lead to a styling consultant, who assisted us in preparing the suite so it would show its best.  Next, Eugene prepared a website "coming soon" teaser and a very professional features list brochure with plenty of polished professional photographs.  As soon as the listing launched we generated immediate agent showing appointment traffic through our unit, that was sustained over 4 days. 


This activity resulted in 5 Offers and our acceptance of a final Offer that was 115% of our list price, setting a new per square foot market high water mark for the building.  We were delighted with the result!


Colin & Miyuki Hazelwood Ave Toronto

Dear Eugene,

10 years ago, in mid-April of 2005, we met to talk about a house purchase.

And within a month, you helped us find our house on Hazelwood Ave.

We are immensely and forever grateful.  

+-


We love our street.  We love our community. We love that we are within a few minutes’ walk of a subway station.  We love the daycare and school that has played an fundamental role in our daughters’ lives and upbringing.  And we love our house.

And when we look around at the insanity that is going on with prices (since then and especially within the last couple years), we know with absolute certainty that without your guidance, your counsel and your support, we would not be here.  And therefore, we would not be happy as we are.

You have played an instrumental role in our lives and for that we will always be grateful.

Miyuki and I were talking about you last night.  Wondering what you are doing.  And hoping you and Bill are well.  And just wanted to share this note with you.

With deep appreciation and respect.

Your friends,

Colin & Miyuki Hazelwood Ave Toronto

Before time takes me away, I just want to say "thank you" for all your help in selling 17 Ingham Ave.  It went quite a bit smoother than I expected ....and much quicker.  It is nice to have that part behind us.  Thank you again, you have the personality for your job....much credit to you as I could never do it.

Thanks again.  If I know of anyone moving, I will definitely put in a great word for you.


Cheryl Ann Phillips, Sales Representative, Real Estate Homeward, Brokerage.

Eugene - I Just want to say there are good agents and not so good agents, and there are awesome agents, and your are awesome!

I wanted to thank you again for making the sale of 62 Empire Ave Professional and a pleasure.  After 24 years of selling real estate, I still learn from the best.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Ann Phillips, Sales Representative, Real Estate Homeward, Brokerage.


Laura and John McClelland

Eugene Palermo acted as our agent both in selling our previous residence and in purchasing our new home. He had been highly recommended to us by neighbours and we found him to be both intelligent and very personable.

During the selling process he was patiently attentive to our concerns and expectations, displayed a sensitive grasp of evolving market conditions, and assisted us in every possible way during what turned out to be protracted negotiations.

+-


He showed the same energy and patience in helping us find and buy our current property and we recommend him unreservedly to anyone who needs the services of a real estate agent.

Sharon & Lorraine

"Hi Eugene, Just thought we'd say "thank you" and tell you how much we appreciate all the support and guidance you have given us, especially this week. Though you were on vacation, you made yourself available constantly. Your kindness, patience and warmth carried us through some stressful time; we've learned a lot these past few days, and know that we'll be even better prepared the next time around, with you beside us. Thanks! You're quite wonderful at what you do, and a treasured friend."

He worked with me under tight deadlines to accomplish my objectives and was very fair and completed all requests in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Eugene as an agent. A terrific person both personally and professionally!"


Sheena Nugent

“I would highly recommend Eugene as a realtor. He is a consummate professional, knowledgeable about the housing market in Toronto and armed with a dynamic and warm personality. I used his services in early 2011 to help me buy and sell a home.

+-


During the process, I found Eugene acted more as a trusted partner than a sales person. He does not use high-pressure tactics to get you to buy/sell. His approach is adaptable and he works to your style. His number one priority is to help you find the home that you want and deserve.


Buying a home can be overwhelming and when you’re too caught up in paint colours and granite countertops, Eugene gently guides you to look at the condition of the furnace and whether the ceilings are cracking. He knows the questions to ask and what to look for when checking out potential properties. Never once did I feel he was not committed to helping me find a house.


I enjoyed working with Eugene immensely and did indeed find my perfect home! I would use Eugene again should the occasion arise and would recommend him to anyone looking for a Toronto-area home.”


Karim Gawish

“Eugene provided amazing service in a complicated transaction involving three homes at the same time for 3 clients.

I have no reservations at all recommending his services due to his experience and personable nature.”

On the buying front, expect Eugene to ask the smart questions expected only from savvy, seasoned realtors. Personable and professional, insightful and resourceful -- expect the best from Eugene Palermo.


Kathy and Larry Johnson

"Thanks to your experience and your in-depth knowledge of the downtown Toronto condo market, we were able to sell our old home in far less time than we had anticipated and find a new home that suited our needs perfectly.

Craig Chase & Steve Spera

“The prospect of looking for a new home in this market was daunting. We didn’t know what our money would buy, and it was clear that we would be relying on the knowledge and experience of our agent to guide us. Nothing demonstrates your experience better than the fact that purchasing this property was the direct result of your network of clients and contacts.”


Mireille & David Elsley - Broker/Owner & Assoc. Broker, Re/Max Ultimate Realty, Inc.

“Sales achievement at your level certainly merits congratulations. The fact that you are included in the IMS year-end report means that you are one of the 1,268 agents who sold 12 or more MLS listings in 1998. It also means you are among the 7% who accounted for almost 40% of all TRE MLS sales. This is impressive to say the least!”

Eugene, It has been a pleasure working with you!  Everyone should be as patient and consistant as you are and I hope to do a deal again with you in the not too distant future.


Ken McLachlan, President, Re/Max Hallmark Realty, Ltd.
