Wealth & Real Estate: Urban & City Living
listen now
About This Episode
In the first two parts of our wealth and real estate series, we looked at residential real estate, specifically the suburbs. Within those episodes, we explored the key things you need to know both from an upsizing and a downsizing perspective.
For part three, we’re going in a new direction and talking about urban and city living. Canada has some phenomenal cities and city living is a lifestyle choice that many people are attracted to. Today we’re joined by Christina Miller of Christina Miller Real Estate Group to help us navigate the city real estate market, from condo towers to duplexes, single-family homes, and more.
Christina comes from a truly entrepreneurial background and as a top Westmount real estate agent, she has sold over $1 billion in real estate since 2006. She attributes her success to consistently delivering the highest level of customer service, integrity, and expertise to ensure her clients get the most out of their luxury investment
In this episode, Christina and I talk about the benefits of city living, Christina’s entrepreneurial foundation, what buyers and sellers need to know about the current state of the urban real estate market, the types of properties that are in high demand, and so much more!
