Toma and Rebecca believe that understanding the needs of a client and walking them through every step of the process, whether they are buying or selling their primary home, a vacation home or an investment property, is paramount to providing the highest level of service. This informed, pressure-free approach is appreciated by everyone they work with. Toma and Rebecca understand that real estate is one of the most important fi nancial investments one can make and approach every transaction with the highest level of care. They are dedicated to achieving the best results on behalf of their clients and are always willing to go the extra mile.
Toma joins Michael Saunders & Company with a wealth of real estate experience. He began his real estate career while studying at the University of Western Ontario where he bought, sold and managed several investment properties.

He later joined Brown Harris Stevens where he made a name for himself as a top agent by achieving record prices for many of his clients. He has represented Fortune 500 clients and has a large network of international clients.
Mixed with Toma’s intense work ethic is a softer but equally genuine appreciation for beauty and aesthetics.

It is undoubtedly this synthesis of talents that has fostered his success in the competitive real estate industry.
