The longest running children's parade in the world .... a Tradition in Toronto for over 100 years -

the Santa Claus Parade is back on Sunday, November 15th.

- 22 floats - 22 bands - 200 clowns ... and of course, Santa Claus.

The parade will start at Bloor and Christie, and head East on Bloor Street
...head South along Queen's Park to University Avenue....
it will turn East again on Dundas Street to Yonge Street, and south to Front Street,
...where it will head East again and end at the intersection of Front and Church Streets.

Remember to leave your car at home. There will be no parking along the route, and it will be extremely busy on any road that will cross the route. You are better off taking public transit.

If you're going to watch the Parade,

why don't you also pick up a toy,

and watch the Parade near the Hospital for Sick Kids,

where you can drop off your toy and brighten up a child's day?

Toronto Real Estate (About Sylvie Conde)

I have lived in Toronto most of my life. Grew up in the Trinity Bellwoods Park neighbourhood (on Crawford Street) and now live in the Hillcrest Village-Humewood neighbourhood.

First started in real estate at the age of 15, as a receptionist, part-time, after school. I also worked for a Real Estate Appraisal company for a few years, before a change in careers took me to the management development industry, with a role in marketing. I returned to Real Estate, and at the same time did some work as a General Contractor, which was a great experience, and gave me a different set of skills, to better help my clients in the real estate field.

I am open and honest with my clients, and my first priority is looking after the client's best interests and going above and beyond the call of duty. I am passionate about what I do. I am committed to my clients and getting them the best deal. I will be there for the client before the sale and well after the deal has closed, to ensure that the client has a positive experience, as stress-free as possible.

I enjoy working with first time home-buyers who can only afford a $200,000 property, as well as working with professional athletes who are buying and selling multi-million dollar homes, as well as assist with relocation.

Toronto Real Estate - Testimonials for Sylvie Conde

Over the course of the last 5 years my husband and I lived in Toronto for his job. We are citizens of the United States and when we originally purchased our home in Canada it was to say the least, difficult due to all of the different laws. Without any assistance it was a very long process. When my husband was relocated back to the states we dreaded selling or home. We were not able to be there so we in listed Sylvie Conde as our Realtor who would speak on our behalf. Sylvie is the most efficient, pleasant, hard working Realtor we have ever come across in all of our real estate ventures. Sylvie was such a pleasure to work with and kept us abreast to everything, she went above and beyond. Sylvie helped us sell our furniture, get a moving company and kept tabs on all of this while dealing with the lawyers involved in the sale. My husband and I feel if you find yourself lucky enough to use Sylvie as your Realtor, whether your buying or selling, know you've hired the best and you may just make a friend in the process.

Sincerely,

Eric and Kathy ******
Scottsdale, Arizona

To: Sutton Group-Associates Realty Inc., Brokerage,

Today is the day we get the keys to our new home!! Sylvie helped make it all possible.
My partner and I would like you to know what an incredible person you have working on your team.
Sylvie continues to amaze us with her constant energy and her commitment to her clients. During our eight months of house searching, Sylvie became our stand in agent, as our original agent had gone on vacation.
Sylvie held a firm position in helping us find a home. She was amazing. Any time we had a questions, no matter how small, she would always provide the answer. She left no stone unturned.

Sylvie stuck with us the entire step of the way. My partner and I encountered frustrations by not finding that perfect home fast enough. Sylvie always gave us hope. Then there was the emotional turmoil of the bidding wars. She was our constant rock and would say "if not this one, there will be another". She was never discouraged.

Finally we found our house. Sylvie offered help if needed, in arranging financing, insurance and rounding up a crew for household repairs. How many agents do this? I have dealt with many agents in the past and it has been my experience that once the deal is done, the agent is done!
Not so with Sylvie.

The day after signing our deal, she came by with a lovely gift basket. The basket was not typical - it was chosen with thought. It fit our personality. It contained a beautiful plant, wooden coasters and place mats.

We recognize in Sylvie the wonderful attributes she brings to her profession. She is a caring and committed agent who gives 100%. She made buying our home such a pleasure.

Sincerely,

Jaime and Fernando
Toronto, Ontario

Though I thought I could never afford to own a century home, Sylvie not only helped me find one, she helped me work with CMHC in order to be able to upgrade wiring and plumbing to own a "New Century Home". Within weeks of moving in, my home had increased in value and I had the home I never thought I could have afforded.

Sylvie is the most professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated agent I have ever met. Sylvie will go far beyond your expectations when working for you. You cannot find another agent as well educated and up to date on real estate law; I have seen with my own eyes the jaw drop of the "other" agent as Sylvie sets them straight... I am sure many agents have been humbled by Sylvie.

With Sylvie's help, I now have the home I want to retire in (and I am only 35!). I own the house on the street people slow down to look at and wish they had - but think they could never afford.

William C*****
Oshawa, Ontario

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...What can I say... Two houses six weeks apart, both were sold in less than one week - EACH at their full asking price! Sylvie communicated effectively and responded just as quick and effective during negotiations. She priced the house just right and gave good advice to stage it for a successful open house and sale. I have not hesitated to recommend her to everyone.

Sylvie, thank you so much for your help and patience throughout this ‘experience'.
I know I was very excited about the house and didn't really pay attention to everything else that was happening in the background.
Negotiating with the seller and the other agent was not a pleasant experience, yet you never complained about it and didn't let me in on what was happening, during the negotiations.
I didn't have a clue. All I know is that you got us a great house, at a HUGELY reduced price.
You know I would have paid almost full asking price, yet you got us $50K off AND cash to fix wiring, etc.
I have worked with many agents before, and I have never been given the advice you gave us.
What you thought about doing, and to actually make it happen, was totally amazing.

You made it a great experience, and we have the most amazing house on the street.

In fact, the most amazing house in the neighbourhood.
People pass by and stand there for the longest time, looking at MY house. :-)

You'll be our Realtor for life, and I would not hesitate to recommend you to everyone (in fact, I have done it many times already).

Thank you for all you did for us.
Thank you for the wonderful house-warming gift.
Thank you for the great bottle of wine.

Thank you for being our friend. :-)
Sandra C****
