HAPPY CLIENTS
“Manu was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning to the end, he kept our interests prioritized and engaged with us at every step. In the end, we got the home we wanted, at a price that was more than fair. Would recommend him in a heartbeat!!”
Varun and Priya Anand
“Let me start by saying that this was our first ever home purchase; which can be an extremely overwhelming process, but Manu had made the whole experience as easy and comfortable as possible. Although we had done some of our own research and looking around previously, Manu stepped right in, provided us with all the guidance and expertise we needed. He took the time to explain things in detail, break down numbers and present us with every availability. Some of the units we had made offers on didn’t work out, but Manu kept assuring us that we would find the right one. In the end, he won us the place we loved and we’ll be forever grateful. In addition, Manu also put us in touch with his team – a Mortgage specialist and Lawyer – both extremely fantastic professionals! If you’re thinking about owning a home, I’d recommend Manu. Overall, a great experience!“
Adam Rushton & Amanda Marcar
“We started looking for a house in a very strong seller’s market. Manu was very patient and professional with us, making sure that we did not succumb to the hype and engage in bidding wars that we would later regret. He adds value by offering an objective valuation and diligently monitors the market to seek out the best properties that would meet our needs and budget. He was a pleasure to deal with and got us our lovely house in the neighborhood that we wanted. We highly recommended him and his team’s professional services – you will be impressed!”
Aisha Ghafoor & Asif Sharif
” It was a real pleasure to be assisted by Manu. He and the Urbanis team went above and beyond to make sure that I understood the process as well as what to expect. He was really patient and helpful during the multiple viewings; guiding me on the things to pay attention to. Throughout the whole journey, I never felt pressured and was confident that he had my best interest at heart. Manu played a key role in this important milestone of my life. He is more than a Real Estate advisor, he is a dear friend, and someone I can trust and can count on!”
Fabrice Comlan“Manu, Thank you so much for all your help, patience, understanding and guidance in buying our beautiful home. I know, at times, things were not always easy, but you always kept your professionalism and helped me better understand the market and everything that goes with buying a home. I also appreciate you keeping me up to date with everything I needed to know in order for me to make an informed decision. It was a real pleasure working with you & UPG and would definitely recommend you to my friends & colleagues.”
Daphne Belizaire
“I have had the pleasure of working with Manu and his team this past year and cannot say enough about his professionalism, dedication and attention to detail. Manu’s approach is driven by his diligence and genuine goal to deliver the best customer service to his clients. I was very impressed by his thoughtful analysis and wealth of real estate experience. Manu’s exceptional negotiating skills were an invaluable asset to the success of our transaction. As his client, I felt confident that I was getting the input I needed to analyze my options and make an informed decision. My experience with Urbanis exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
Rickesh & Reena Kotecha
“Manu helped us to secure a coveted beautiful condo located in Liberty Village. Despite working on a tight timeframe (this was all within two weeks of our needed move-in date), Manu impressed us with his strong sense of professionalism, positive attitude as well as a keen eye for details. Manu was very hands-on throughout the entire process and offered sound advice on what we should look for in a condo, the neighborhood, and even how to handle paperwork with the property management/building. It was through his craftiness that we were able to secure the condo of our choice even with 3 other offers! To summarize, we couldn’t have asked for better service. He is a professional who gets it done and if you know the condo market in Toronto, that is one mean feat! Thanks Manu for everything!”
Geetha Selvakumaran
“We had our condominium listed with another agent but we had no luck. Manu somehow sold it quickly in the same market conditions!? Manu had all his homework done, he gave us a lot of information on the market and was very knowledgeable about what specific strategies to use to get the job done! I really appreciated the fact that he kept us informed on a regular basis. Manu made us feel that all his attention was on selling OUR condo, as if we were his only clients. Thanks Manu!”
Ann marie Ventrice“When we were in the market for a condominium, Manu immediately came to mind given his knowledge of the Toronto real estate market in addition to his overall business acumen. We contacted Manu and he was very responsive and pleasant to work with. In addition to helping us find a place that suited our needs, Manu also dug deep into the analytics regarding the resale value of the condo while looking at numerous factors such as the amenities, condo fees, and surrounding location. He was also able to negotiate on our behalf and purchase the condo at 21% less than the listed price! We ended up with a penthouse suite that we are extremely happy to live in – while being a great investment decision at the same time. Thank you!”
Hussein & Salima Fazal“The real estate buying process with Manu was one that we thoroughly enjoyed, and ultimately resulted in us finding out perfect home. Our requirements were very restrictive and felt like they were constantly changing. But Manu adapted to the new needs at every turn. Whether it was finding a new building, layout or available unit, Manu worked diligently to find us the right property. In the end, we were torn between two very similar condos. Manu helped us break down the pros and cons for each, and weigh them against each other. This allowed us to confidently narrow down the list to our final selection. Lastly, Manu helped us navigate the negotiation process with helpful suggestions based on his past experiences at every step. In the end we got exactly what we were looking for at a price we were very happy with. Thank you Manu!”
