The action
Agent Elli Davis said she has a running list of buyers waiting for a chance to move into the popular Village Gate gated community in Forest Hill South, so when she was assigned the sale of this two-bedroom suite she already had a catalogue of potential buyers.
She contacted some suitable matches, and one, having already been outbid on other properties, jumped at the chance to strike a deal at the asking price.
“I just called some specific buyers, and two weren’t really ready and one was, so that’s who bought it,” Ms. Davis said.
“The buyers were happy not to have to go through a whole bidding war process and lose again.”

The agent’s take
“It’s just under 1,600 square feet, which is a very good size,” Ms. Davis said.
“It was also renovated and in beautiful condition.”
This unit’s location in the 30-year-old building – and wider community – is also stellar. “It has a terrific, beautiful view over the gardens, pool and out towards the ravine,” Ms. Davis said.
“It’s about a three-minute walk from Village Gate to the subway, which is really good, and it’s a five-minute walk to Forest Hill Village where you have all kinds of shops, banks and restaurants.”
