…And this year, we have LOTS to talk about.
We had FIVE straight sold-out events in January and February last year. This year we have space for another 5 events:
- Friday, January 30th – (1pm – West – Stockyards)
- Saturday, February 7th – (1:30pm – DOWNTOWN Yonge/Dundas)
- Monday, February 16th – (2:30pm – West – Stockyards)
Although each session is a somewhat casual setting, conducted over lunch (you eat – Marty talks!), each discussion is packed full of vital information, especially for Realtors.
We plan to double our sales in 2026. We’d like to hear from Realtors that have similar ambitions, and we are going to lead the way. ~ Marty
- Properties to watch for in 2026. We are not saying you should try to talk a particular client into selling their home, but some properties are VERY well suited to development, and if your client isn’t going to do it, certain properties have great value to developers that will. Let’s discuss the hottest properties.
- Properties your clients should BUY, and maybe ones to avoid.
- Garden suites, laneway houses, and multi-family development prospects and properties. This is our specialty, and in 2026 more will be buit than ever, in all of Toronto’s history.
- The MAJOR STREETS program. Thousand of properties qualify, what this means for your clients and your new prospects.
- NEW – Neighbourhood Retail – do your clients know they can now set up shop right at their front door?
The schedule is yet to be announced, but at EACH sesion we will have at least one special guest on hand from the laneway house/garden suite or development industry – the folks that are on the ground making these happen every day in Toronto.
Lunch With Marty is a fairly intense 2 hours, and because we limit each session to just 8 guests, we have LOTS of time for one-on-one talk.
COST: Each participant is invoiced for $69 plus tax – drinks/lunch not included, just pay your own bill at the restaurant, no minimum purchase required.
Register right here (we will send an invoice):
Laneway houses and garden suites: Now that over 2,000 projects have been completed in Toronto, we have some real world examples and pro-formas showing the earning – and cash flow – potential of these ADUs. It’ll surpise lots of people, including the thousands of Torontonians that thought small-condo investing made fiscal sense in 2021 or 2022. Today, we have ADU suppliers that can finance 100% of your project. We have suppliers that can build a project in under 60 days. Cash-flow can happen in under 90 days in some cases.
Development: We sometimes hear, “Marty, we know these new rules allow much more development now, but is anyone actually doing it?” I happen to live in the Oakwood Village area. Inside of a 2-minute walk from my home, these 6 construction projects are ongoing – right now!
In most cases above, the existing property owners cashed out. They sold their properties with a tidy profit, and the next owner is the developer, investor, or other project proponent. This type of transaction is happening EVERY DAY in Toronto now, and certainly some properties are MUCH more attractive than others, for development. Come find out which are the best properties in YOUR focus areas – some are already owned by YOUR clients!
Major Streets: Below is City Map #3. EVERY house on those “major streets” can now be replaced – as of right – with up to a 60-unit apartment building, or a row of 4-storey townhomes.
This has already bugun, here is a project on Lawrence Avenue East:
