Realtors
The right realtor should be able to guide you through the home buying process effectively. While the Faculty Relocation Service does not have preferred providers, there are a few real estate agents we have found to be very helpful in the past. Please feel free to contact us for a referral at (416) 978-0951 or faculty.support@utoronto.ca.
