Caroline Bokar

Real Estate Broker

After having entered the real estate industry in 1990 working for a dynamic and successful real estate developer of both residential and commercial properties, I worked zealously with the city’s leading marketing company for new home and condo sales managing and selling out some of our city’s most prestigious projects before focusing on the residential resale market in Toronto.

With an insatiable eagerness to always be the forefront of professional development in the real estate industry, I transacted residential properties as a licensed sales representative, went on to earn my real estate broker’s licence and then forged forward continuing to hone my skills through years of varying market vibrancies which entrenched my knowledge of real estate brokerage and fortified my proficiency to the benefit of clients.

Buyers

Finding you a perfect home to purchase and live in would be an honour!

I specifically design strategic business plans for each of my buyer clients: I tenaciously seek out properties which are not yet on the market and also work seamlessly with a network of fellow carriage trade Realtors to source additional “pocket listings”. I leave no stone unturned: All services combine to work for your ultimate benefit.

Take extra care if deciding to deal directly with a listing broker with whom you do not have a relationship.  You may get a financial incentive to do so, but it might not always be the best in the long run (financially or otherwise).  Speak with a REALTOR you know and trust to discuss this in greater detail.

Pre-emptive offers are offers which potential buyers insist on submitting to the listing brokerage ahead of the date and time set aside for accepting offers.  Their hope is for the Sellers to consider their offer immediately, without waiting for potential competition.

This is such a subjective matter as much of it can end up being based on how personality styles mesh.  Ideally, you should look for someone with whom you feel completely comfortable; someone who is experienced and knowledgeable; someone who is trustworthy, understands your requirements and is able to work around your schedule and, ultimately, someone who you feel will do their utmost to negotiate the hardest to achieve your goals.

Though a Buyers’ Representation Agreement is a very useful document and definitely recommended to being reviewed, discussed and signed prior to showings, it is not absolutely mandatory until an offer is being drawn up.  The document establishes a client – agent relationship and ensures that you – as the client-  will be entitled to the most expensive of services.  It’s terms can certainly be negotiated.   They can also be drafted to apply specifically and only to the one property which will be shown; rather than all properties within a specific period of time..

Sellers

Entrusting someone to market and sell your home requires extensive consideration and I would be grateful for the opportunity of being interviewed.

With highly targeted marketing campaigns and innovative sales programs for homeowners, I provide astute market analysis without any obligation on the prospective seller’s part.

Always respectful of my clients’ privacy, these real estate consultations are kept strictly confidential.

In a Sellers’ market, it is usually beneficial to “hold-off” offers.  This process allows for prospective buyers to view the property during a few day period and then submit their offer on the allotted date and time.  Creating a multiple offer situation is usually the very best way to rest assured that a home’s true current value has been achieved.

  1. DOCUMENTS: Gather as much of the following as possible to give to your Realtor:  copies of your most recent tax bill, land survey, floor plans; list of improvements, additions, renovations.
  2. SECURITY: Discuss the showing process with your Realtor; Create a new alarm code for Realtor use exclusively (if giving access) and provide them with a copy of your key; It is also a good idea to lock up or remove all jewellery, personal files, computers, laptops and other small valuables; Depending upon your own privacy preferences, you might like to also remove photographs, framed professional degrees, tax information, personal identification records, etc.
  3. DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER:  The more a home is decluttered, the better!

Exclusive Listings have a very important place in the real estate market.  Contractually almost identical to an MLS listing, an Exclusive Listing allows your home to be marketed and sold without putting it onto the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  Your and your property’s exposure therefore is limited to only the specific boundaries you decide on with your Realtor.

Whether for security concerns, privacy reasons or other personal objectives, most people who list their homes Exclusively do so to more specifically target all marketing to the most befitting and usually small group of prospective buyers.

No, absolutely not.  Your comfort and security are of utmost importance to me.  Open houses can be a marvellous marketing tool, but I certainly appreciate that they are not for everyone.   I am completely amenable to incorporating your preferences when I craft a targeted marketing campaign with innovative strategies to get you the best results possible in the marketplace.

Relocation Services

Working successfully with companies worldwide (Fortune 500, etc.), I have honed skills to effectively assist my global clients (from the United States, South America, Europe and Asia) with straightforward and carefree sales’ transactions.

Truly “one-stop-shopping” for all my international clients’ needs, my services often include property management, project management and resource co-ordination (professional home inspectors, financial lending , chartered accountants, architects, builders, designers, moving companies and maintenance service teams).

I have usually been interviewed in Toronto by representatives of companies which are based out of country, but I would also be very happy to arrange for video-conferencing as well as possibly travelling to their offices if necessary.

Resource Co-ordinator & Real Estate Concierge: There aren’t any charges whatsoever for helping executives settle in Toronto after they have purchased their homes.   I believe in what I do and am sincerely delighted to extend my services to include helping them become the most comfortable they can in our city and in their new home; introducing them to tradespeople as well as to even neighbours at times; suggesting country clubs to bridge clubs; helping them set up utility services and hiring cleaning staff; and many more dependant upon their requirements.

Absolutely and with pleasure.  For executives transferring out of  Toronto, I market and sell their Toronto real estate and then continue to work closely with my affiliated agents in other parts of the world to ensure that my clients receive the same quality of care and expertise as that which I practice here in Toronto.

Clients’ privacy is very, very important to me and as such I am as discreet as absolutely possible; I work with these clients directly and do not engage any secretarial and/or additional staff all along the way.  Whether athletes, celebrities or very private individuals, I work to make everyone very comfortable with business practices and they can rest assured of my confidentiality.
