The Seymour Team’s 8-Step Buying Process

We first worked with Jethro Seymour about ten years ago when we bought our first home in East York. That purchase went down to the wire in multiple offers, and Jethro's strategy got us the house. So when we were ready to move again, there was no question who we were calling.

This time we'd narrowed down the neighbourhoods we wanted — specific pockets of East York and the Danforth — and we needed someone who could move fast, give us straight construction advice, and tell us honestly whether a property would hold its value long-term. Jethro was the obvious choice and we trusted him to spot issues we couldn't see ourselves.

He responded immediately every time we called and got showings set up right away. When we finally found the house we wanted, Jethro built a real plan around it. He looked up the permit status on the renovations the homeowners had done to make sure everything was properly closed and nothing was outstanding, confirmed the parking was legal, checked the school district was the one we wanted, and reviewed every relevant document before we even thought about an offer.

Because of his long experience with other agents in Central Toronto and the relationships he's built over the years, he was also able to dig into how the listing agent had handled multiple offers in the past and what their history looked like relative to listing prices. That intelligence shaped our strategy. We had several strategy calls leading up to the offer night.

The biggest thing for us: Jethro was firm about not overpaying. In a multiple-offer situation it's easy to get caught up and stretch past what a home is actually worth, and Jethro kept us grounded. We won the house, we didn't overpay, and the kids are thrilled with the new place.

If you're buying in East York, the Danforth, or anywhere in Midtown or Central Toronto and you want a Realtor who actually knows construction, negotiates with a real strategy, and tells you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear — call Jethro Seymour and the Seymour Team. We've now trusted him with two of the biggest decisions our family has ever made, and we'd do it again tomorrow.

We had an outstanding experience working with Jethro Seymour and the Seymour Team during the purchase of our home. Jethro’s deep market knowledge, strong understanding of our needs, and exceptional negotiating skills made a real difference in helping us secure our dream home. Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated incredible patience, always taking the time to guide us, answer questions, and ensure we felt confident in every decision. Beyond our home purchase, Jethro also helped lease our second property, where he quickly found a high-quality tenant — making the process seamless and stress-free.

Highly professional, responsive, and truly client-focused, Jethro and his team exceeded our expectations.

We recently worked with Jethro Seymour to sell our home and purchase a new one, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

On the buying side, Jethro was incredibly thorough—he examined every home with a sharp eye, offering insights not only about the neighbourhood but also about construction quality, materials, city by-laws, and even historical context. His depth of knowledge made us feel like we had a home inspector by our side. He was never pushy, always patient, and took the time to help us make the right decision for our family.

On the selling side, we were navigating a sluggish market, and Jethro’s honest, pragmatic advice helped us set realistic expectations and make strategic choices. His team—including stagers, photographers, and cleaners—was professional and top-notch, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, patient, highly knowledgeable, and fully committed to your success—Jethro is your guy. Highly recommend.

If there was a rating for 10 stars, I would certainly assign a 10 star rating for Jethro Seymour and his team!

"My husband and I consulted Jethro when we decided to move to Toronto from the Windsor Ontario area. As seniors in our 70’s, we knew what we wanted and Jethro found us our next home…because he listened.

Yes he was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, returned calls, texts and emails promptly and was fun to go home-shopping with, and more importantly, Jethro really understood what we wanted and with thanks to Jethro….we can’t wait to move to Toronto!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you , thank you, thank you Jethro!"

We appreciated Jethro’s highly knowledgeable guidance and counsel while looking for a house in midtown Toronto. … His honest, humble, and patient approach is refreshing in the real estate industry — he’s great at his job and had our best interests in mind during the entire process. We truly value him as our agent!

Jethro gave me a valuation on my home about two years ago, and when I was ready to buy, he was the first person I reached out to. I'd been browsing listings online and found a place I liked; it turns out Jethro had actually sold that same property years earlier, so he knew the house inside out. Made the whole process straightforward.

He negotiated well under asking on my behalf and got me a great deal. No pressure, no upselling, just solid advice and honest numbers at every step. He understood my situation and worked around it without making it a thing.

I've worked with several realtors in the Davisville and Midtown area and all have been nice and professional, but Jethro's knowledge and experience in the neighbourhood are unsurpassed and there's no question he's your best choice.
