I’m Marc Marinelli, a real estate broker at Property.ca with nearly 20 years of experience helping people buy and sell in Scarborough. Scarborough is one of Toronto’s best places to find a freehold home with a real yard. Whether you’re buying your first house or selling a family home, I’ll help you price it right and negotiate well.
Why buyers choose Scarborough
- Space: larger lots and detached homes at prices that are hard to find closer to downtown.
- Transit: Line 2 to Kennedy, plus GO trains on the Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines.
- Nature: the Scarborough Bluffs, Rouge National Urban Park and miles of ravine trails.
- Highways: quick access to the 401 and the 404.
Scarborough neighbourhoods I work in
- Guildwood and Scarborough Village: quiet, leafy streets near the Bluffs and the lake.
- Birch Cliff and Cliffside: detached homes and bungalows close to the Bluffs and Kingston Road.
- Agincourt: established family homes with good access to the 401 and GO.
- Highland Creek: larger lots and detached homes near the University of Toronto Scarborough.
- Scarborough City Centre: condos and townhomes close to shopping and transit.
Buying in Scarborough
For condo buyers, I compare buildings on maintenance fees, reserve fund health and recent resale prices, so you know which ones hold their value. For freehold buyers, I look at lot size, renovation history and comparable sales on the street. First-time buyers get a clear breakdown of land transfer tax rebates and closing costs before we make an offer.
Selling in Scarborough
I price your home using recent sales in your building or on your street, then market it with professional photography, video and a plan built for the buyers Scarborough attracts. Request a free home evaluation to see what your Scarborough home is worth today.
