How I work

The calm way to buy in a chaotic market.

One

The numbers come before the houses

You'll know your real number, your true monthly cost and your cash-to-close before you walk into a single showing.

Two

I'll tell you what's wrong with a house

Before I tell you what's right with it — you'll hear it from me on the driveway, not from an inspector three weeks later.

Three

"Wait" is an answer I'm willing to give

I've told people to hold off six months and lost the deal to a louder agent. Some came back better prepared — a trade I'll make every time.

Where I work

The full GTA — real depth in six cities.

Newest housing stock, youngest population, and one of the lowest property tax rates around — just check the GO line, it's weekdays only.

Premium and it knows it. Top schools and resale strength, best suited to move-up buyers and long holds.

The quiet win nobody talks about — lake, mature trees, and a calmer market than Oakville with the same all-day train.

City living without being Toronto. Condo entry points, and the best all-round transit of the group.

The most house per dollar in the GTA — just budget for a higher property tax rate than its neighbours.

An underrated, strong market east of the city — lake access and Durham Region pricing that goes further.

About

Most people move countries for opportunity. I moved out of pure curiosity.

Ishpal Singh, Real Estate Salesperson
GTA · Let's Talk Real Estate

I'm Ishpal — and my path here was anything but a straight line.

In India, I built a business from scratch that hit 7 figures in year one, and worked in advertising with the world's biggest alcohol brands — where my love of scotch began. Then I left it all to see what life in Canada looked like: a small ad studio, then one of the Big Four for six-plus years. Real estate started as a side pursuit; within 18 months it was the only thing I wanted to do.

After five industries, I found the one built around genuine conversation — and I promise every client zero pressure. A home is the biggest decision of your life. You deserve an agent with the patience to let you make it right.

Questions I get every week

The honest answers.

How much do I pay you as a buyer?

Nothing. The seller's side covers commission out of the sale. The better question to ask any agent is what they'll actually do for it — mine is: I read every clause, I tell you what's wrong with a house before what's right, and I say "walk away" out loud when it's true.

When's the right time to buy?

When your numbers are ready, not when the news says so. The bottom of a market is only ever visible in a rear-view mirror. The right question isn't "have prices bottomed?" — it's "can I comfortably carry this for five years?"

Do I need 20% down?

No. In Ontario the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above it — on an $850,000 home that's $60,000, not $170,000. Under 20% you pay mortgage insurance, which is a real cost and very often smaller than three more years of rent.

I'm not ready for months. Is a call a waste of your time?

The opposite. The buyers who call me a year out are the ones who get the home they want, because they use that year properly. Roughly half my calls end with "here's what to do for the next nine months, talk to me then."

Isn't every agent basically the same?

Ask your next one this: "What would make you tell me to wait?" If they can't answer in one breath, you've learned everything you need to know. Their income depends on you buying this month. Mine depends on people telling their friends about me.

Let's talk

Buy the right home — on your timeline, not mine.

Twenty minutes, no pitch at the end of it. We'll go through your numbers, your timeline, and which city fits the life you actually want. It might well end with me telling you to wait nine months and save differently — that's still a good use of twenty minutes.
