City Estates | Real Estate Agency

Century 21 Atria Brokerage.

Hi, I am Vas, a registered real estate Broker in Ontario. As an investor & owner of residential and commercial real estate, I have an appreciation for the discipline and creativity required to attain our real estate goals.

For Buyers, I use off market analytics, tactful negotiation, and impactful strategies to acquire properties for the best price possible. For Sellers, I deliver a transparent experience to remove ambiguity & risk with the sole focus to get you top dollar for your property in the least amount of time.

My past as a CPA presented me with a number of opportunities to optimize for successful transactions in the 100’s of millions, while minimizing risk. Leveraging my CPA experience, coupled with a ‘no pressure’ approach gives me the edge to deliver above and beyond as I work relentlessly to defy expectations for my clients.

Market Reports & Industry Insider Interviews

In this video, I’m digging deep into the February 2026 sales data to explain a trend that even surprised me. While many expected a 20% surge in sales compared to 2025, we are seeing the opposite: sales volume is down significantly, even though new listings are pulling back to seasonal norms.

The Housing Market Just Hit a Breaking Point | Toronto 2026

March 5, 2026 7:31 pm

Most first-time buyers are asking the wrong question.
It’s not “Is now a good time to buy?”
It’s “Am I structurally ready to buy?”
In this video, I break down exactly how I’d approach buying my first property in the GTA in 2026 — focusing on income stability, time horizon, optionality, and real-world risk (not headlines).

No hype.
No doom.
Just a clear framework you can actually use.

If you’re thinking about buying in the Greater Toronto Area and want to make a smart, durable decision — this is for you.

Why should you hire me to list your home?

What does it really take to sell a home when the market’s gone quiet?

In this in-depth case study, I walk you through the exact steps I used to generate strong buyer traffic, negotiate multiple offers, and get results in one of the slowest markets we’ve seen in years. Real numbers. Real strategy. Real outcome. If you’re serious about selling, this is the 20 minutes that might change how you think about your agent.
