Jethro Seymour

We first worked with Jethro Seymour about ten years ago when we bought our first home in East York. That purchase went down to the wire in multiple offers, and Jethro's strategy got us the house. So when we were ready to move again, there was no question who we were calling. This time we'd narrowed down the neighbourhoods we wanted — specific pockets of East York and the Danforth — and we needed someone who could move fast, give us straight construction advice, and tell us honestly whether a property would hold its value long-term. Jethro was the obvious choice and we trusted him to spot issues we couldn't see ourselves. He responded immediately every time we called and got showings set up right away. When we finally found the house we wanted, Jethro built a real plan around it. He looked up the permit status on the renovations the homeowners had done to make sure everything was properly closed and nothing was outstanding, confirmed the parking was legal, checked the school district was the one we wanted, and reviewed every relevant document before we even thought about an offer. Because of his long experience with other agents in Central Toronto and the relationships he's built over the years, he was also able to dig into how the listing agent had handled multiple offers in the past and what their history looked like relative to listing prices. That intelligence shaped our strategy. We had several strategy calls leading up to the offer night. The biggest thing for us: Jethro was firm about not overpaying. In a multiple-offer situation it's easy to get caught up and stretch past what a home is actually worth, and Jethro kept us grounded. We won the house, we didn't overpay, and the kids are thrilled with the new place. If you're buying in East York, the Danforth, or anywhere in Midtown or Central Toronto and you want a Realtor who actually knows construction, negotiates with a real strategy, and tells you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear — call Jethro Seymour and the Seymour Team. We've now trusted him with two of the biggest decisions our family has ever made, and we'd do it again tomorrow. — Kelsee & Mike, repeat clients (East York, twice)
