I’m Marc Marinelli, a real estate broker at Property.ca with nearly 20 years of experience helping people buy and sell in North York. Whether you’re looking at a condo on the Yonge corridor or a detached home on a quiet residential street, I’ll help you understand what you’re buying, what it’s really worth and how to negotiate the best deal.
Why buyers choose North York
- Transit: Line 1 (Yonge) runs through North York Centre, Sheppard-Yonge and Finch, and Line 4 (Sheppard) connects east to Don Mills.
- Highways: quick access to the 401, the 404 and the Don Valley Parkway.
- Choice: high-rise condos, townhomes and detached homes, often within a few blocks of each other.
- Green space: Earl Bales Park, the Don Valley trails and ravines throughout.
North York neighbourhoods I work in
- Willowdale and Yonge & Sheppard: North York’s condo hub, with subway access, shops and restaurants close by.
- Bayview Village: condos near the subway and larger detached homes on quieter streets.
- York Mills: established, mostly detached homes with mature trees and ravine lots.

- Newtonbrook and Bathurst Manor: family-friendly streets with a range of freehold options.
Buying in North York
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.
