Socrates Apallas Reviews

Socrates is an outstanding agent who served our family very, very well. He is knowledgeable, skillful, efficient, effective, competent and professional. Of most importance, Socrates is thoughtful, descent man.

Working with Socrates was an outstanding experience. As a first-time buyer, I truly appreciated how patient he was, essentially teaching me how to buy a property that I would love and wouldn’t regret. He took the time to understand my needs and never rushed me into making an offer, which built huge trust. Beyond his professionalism, Socrates is an encyclopedia of Toronto! I always enjoyed listening to his passionate insights on how the city has transformed and its future development. He’s funny, engaging, and genuinely passionate about every aspect of housing, from community-building to designing a room. I highly recommend him!

My fiancée and I are in our mid-to-late 20s, and buying our first home in Toronto felt like a huge and intimidating step. We didn’t know where to start, but we happened to come across Socrates’ name in our local community newspaper and decided to reach out. Looking back, we’re so glad we did. From the beginning, Socrates made us feel comfortable and heard. He never made us feel like our budget or lack of experience was a burden. Instead, he walked us through everything with patience, clarity, and a sense of calm that we really needed. He explained the market, the homebuying process, and all the little details we never would have thought about. We always felt like he was in our corner. What stood out the most was how genuine and down-to-earth he was. It was clear that he wasn’t pushy, and we never felt like we were just another sale. He went above and beyond to understand what we were looking for, and when we found the right place, he helped guide us through the offer, the status certificate, and the closing process with zero pressure and lots of reassurance. Socrates went above and beyond even after we secured the condo. He took the time to help us think through how we’d design our space, offered advice on layout ideas, and even accompanied us to see furniture/flooring samples in person. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated having someone who cared not just about the sale, but about helping us turn our new place into our first "forever" home. If you’re a first-time buyer, especially if you’re unsure where to begin, we can’t recommend him enough.

Socrates is the most professional and knowledgeable real estate agent I've met. He helped my parents sell their house in a tough market where other agents couldn't. He kept us informed every step of the way and took great care of my parents in ways I hadn't even expected. He paid meticulous attention to detail and went over and beyond what was expected. We could tell he really loves what he does and truly cares about his clients. I've seen few professionals, not just in real estate, work harder or with more passion than Socrates. I'd love to work with him again and have already started recommending him to friends.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Socrates! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure our home was market-ready - even though we were overseas, thousands of miles away in a completely different time zone. Despite the distance, he seamlessly managed everything remotely, keeping us informed and handling all the details with ease. His guidance on renovation choices was invaluable, helping us make the right updates to maximize our home's appeal. He also took charge of coordinating all necessary deliveries, making the process smooth and stress-free. Beyond logistics, his expert design and sales recommendations made all the difference - every suggestion added value and helped attract buyers quickly. Thanks to his expertise, we sold our home in record time and just slightly below our asking price! We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent and highly recommend Socrates and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Socrates and his team. Could not have found my dream condo without him! He helped guide me through the entire process from start to finish.
