New here? Start with this 👇🏼

I’m Ryan. I’m a husband, a dad of two, CPO & partner NorthGroup.com | Greater Toronto Real Estate Team, and award winning realtor with The Real Brokerage.

I help families in Leslieville, Riverside, North Riverdale and The Beaches move from a condo or semi into a house that actually fits their life, without leaving the neighbourhood they love.

Here’s what you’ll find on this page:
🏡 What your budget really buys on east end streets
🔨 What a builder sees in a 100-year-old house (the good and the scary)
🏫 Schools, catchments and the streets families want
💸 The real cost of going from condo to house
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Our own family’s life in the east end

Thinking about upsizing? Comment UPSIZE and I’ll send you my free guide, Upsizing in the East End. It covers equity, bridge financing, offer nights, schools and more.

Glad you’re here. Say hi in the comments 👇🏼

Waiting for more listings this spring? I wouldn’t bet on it. 🏡
Toronto new listings fell 14.4% year over year in September.
Most people say, “Relax, inventory’s coming.”

I don’t buy it. Here’s why.

Toronto families move every 5 to 7 years. Upsize. Downsize. Next chapter.

Go back 5 years and you land in late 2021. That was right near the top of the market.

A lot of those owners have little or no equity today. No equity means no next move.

No move means no listing.

That cycle runs for at least the next 2 to 3 years. Longer if prices stay flat.

So here’s the play:

✅ Buyers: the best homes won’t wait. Be ready before they hit the market.
✅ Sellers: less competition is your leverage. Use it.

Thinking about a move in Leslieville, Riverdale or the Beaches?
DM me “MARKET” and I’ll show you where you stand.

SEO is complicated and you need to have a big budget, big staff or tech capabilities to win!

With AEO the world is your oyster!

You have to put in the work but the work is fairly simple!

You don’t need to have a big bag of cash or technical skills to win with AEO, but you do need to know how it works and what to implement.

I did a training on exactly this for our UNTD Community builders and am going to be doing it again at our 5th Ultimate Team Leader Mastermind on October 29th!

If you are a team leader or broker owner and want to know more about the room shoot me a DM.

We built an Ai 🤖 Caller & it Sucks….

But it is still better than 99% of sales people and does 2 things more effectively than you as a busy agent or an ISA can do for your business.

1. It kills humans on speed to lead every time and as Alex Hormozi preaches speed to lead is everything. You have a 400% better chance of working with someone if they are called in the first 60 seconds.

2. It saves you time and money. In a day and age where you $100 a day ISA is only getting 4 ppl to pick up the phone it makes way more financial sense to have the Ai make the calls and show you who is willing to pick up the phone so you can call them back!

Can these things book you appointments? Yes……

Should that be the expectation? No…..

Make business decisions to make you business@more efficient and stop chasing magic pills 💊 🪄

Does it feel like your clients are moving slower through your funnel?

Is it taking forever for clients to make decisions?

It’s not just you, the landscape of the real estate business has changed.

From 2017-2023 buyers and sellers moved quickly because everyone was looking at real estate as an investment vehicle.

If they didn’t move quickly they would miss out on “upside”

Those days are gone and real estate is back to buying and selling homes not investments.

The process will be longer, we as agents have to be more patient and do what’s right for our clients at the right time.

This just simply means you need more people in your funnel and need to be speaking with more people….

There are agents doing more business than ever, they are just doing more work or have more leverage built into their business!

Choose one!

1. Filling your Funnel
2. Becoming top of mind with your funnel
3. Having the skills to sell your funnel

Those are the only 3 things that matter in your business. Everything else is noise. If you just focus on those 3 you will quickly be able to pay someone else to do everything else.

Which one do you need to focus on this week?

15 years ago, online leads gave me an unfair advantage.

Why?

Because almost nobody was working them properly.

That same opportunity exists today with AI.

AI can call leads faster.

Work your CRM.

Tell you who to contact first.

And help you convert more without adding more hours.

The agents who learn this now will create a massive gap.

This is the biggest competitive advantage in real estate since online leads took off.

DM me and let’s chat.

This one might put me out of business….

If you would just take an hours week to learn how to leverage AI in your business.

As a non-technical founder, I have always understood the theory behind a lot of tech but could never come close to building or implementing what my tech and design teams could.

But putting in just an hour or so a week over the past few months learning Ai 🤖 on a low level has changed that.

About a month ago I launched an ad campaign fully leveraging Ai. From ideation to hooks, headlines and creatives. Even instructions on how to post the ad!

1 month later that ad is absolutely cooking…. It is crushing the performance of what most agencies produce and even outperforming some of my full marketing teams ow ads…..

If you are interested in learning Ai as a non-techie drop a “help” in the comments or dm me.
