Les Cedres, QC

Barbara Todaro is a class act, and on top of that, she knows what she's doing.

My broker, JJ Jacobs, was contacted by a vendor who had about 65 acres of land that he wanted to sell. JJ explained that she didn't normally sell land, but that she had a Montreal West Island real estate agent Tanya Nouwens who might be interested in taking this on. (My broker is very generous that way.) Would I be interested? Um, yeah!

We met with the vendors, toured the gorgeous waterfront lots, -- which are located in Les Cèdres, on the outskirts of Montreal -- and decided we all felt good with each other and about the project. The vendors asked me to prepare a proposal so that they could weigh their options.

And so, as part of my homework, I contacted Barbara Todaro, the queen of selling land and working with developers. Barbara spent the better part of a Friday afternoon kindly and generously answering my questions, providing feedback, sharing strategy and overall just being an amazing advisor (as was my broker).

Well, I prepared the proposal, and got the deal! And I couldn't be happier. Not just because I got the deal, but, more importantly, because I have a strategy for SELLING the property!

Now I'm off to prepare the listings. I'll be blogging about this project in the weeks to come. It's a unique opportunity for an off-island development on the water, close to Montreal, on unspoiled land. The potential here is amazing.

Thank you Barbara. You're the best.
