Buying a home, whether it’s your first or fifth, is always a big deal. Whether it’s because of a milestone (a promotion or a new baby!) or because of a changing lifestyle (welcome to retirement!), chances are you have a specific reason for making a move. At the same time, for most people, buying a home represents the single largest purchase they will ever make.
That’s why hiring the right real estate team is essential. You want someone who has experience and connections, but also someone who can empathize with and understand the lifestyle you want to achieve. Because at the end of the day, buying a home is an emotional transaction that requires both hard and soft skills to complete.
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect home in The Kingsway or any of Etobicoke’s amazing neighbourhoods, here’s why you want Tickins Furlani Real Estate on your side.
We Love The Kingsway as Much as You Do
Every Toronto neighbourhood has its own unique flavour, but when it comes to checking all the boxes, there are few that can compare to The Kingsway. The Kingsway feels contemporary, but in an idyllic way. It’s a neighbourhood of modern families with similar values. It’s upscale and luxurious without being loud and ostentatious.
It feels like a hidden pocket of Toronto, where you might see neighbours asking to borrow a cup of sugar, or kids with fishing poles riding bikes to fish in the ravine. It’s decidedly ‘Leave-it-to-Beaver’ but updated and improved.
It’s a neighbourhood people aspire to, and once you live here, you’ll see why. In fact, most of our clients are people selling a home in The Kingsway to buy another home in The Kingsway. Once you’re here, you won’t want to leave.
As residents ourselves, we’re deeply familiar with this. Not only do we know the streets, the schools, and where to do groceries, but we are connected to the overall feel of the neighbourhood, making us the perfect real estate team to find your dream home.

We Know That It’s Not Just About the House
When you buy a home, you’re not just signing a deed for four walls and a roof. You’re buying years of family memories. Pickup basketball games in the driveway, birthday parties, sleepovers, homework at the kitchen counter, holiday parties, and more.
Having spent years here raising our families, we know that the single most important feature of your home is the lifestyle it will help you achieve. We look beyond the brick and mortar for opportunities, and while we are always focused on finding you a great home with excellent bones, we also consider the intangibles and how that will impact your day-to-day life.
Your Success is Our Success
We’re not here to power through sales just to inflate our statistics. When you work with us, you will never feel rushed or pushed aside. Right from the start, we know that buying a home is a demanding process. Sometimes it requires months of dedication and a mountain of paperwork before finding the right home for your family. And we’re prepared for all this and everything in between to make sure the process feels stress-free and rewarding for you.
We’re committed to building real connections with our clients. When our clients find a home they love, it’s a win for us too. We’re not just getting a new client and a great Google review; we’re also getting a new friend and a neighbour.

We Have a Proven Process
Most people don’t buy a new home every day. But at Tickins Furlani, we’re helping people buy all the time. Our process for buying a home has been created and iterated over 60+ years of collective experience. Our reputation in The Kingsway and West Toronto is unmatched, and we know exactly how to navigate the market and the buying process in general, to make sure things go smoothly for you.
We start with a consultation, which is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We take the time to educate you on the current market, so you know exactly what you’re getting into. But we also take time to truly listen to your wants, needs, and answer any concerns you may have.
From there, we can connect you to mortgage brokers and help you take advantage of available buyer programs to make the financing side of things as seamless as possible.
Next, you get set up on an exclusive new property search program, which will automatically send you emails when new listings that meet your criteria hit the market. We’ll also preview properties for you to maximize efficiency and ensure you don’t waste your time on properties that won’t be a good fit.
Once we’ve found the one, we will guide you through the offer and negotiation process. As a legacy real estate team in The Kingsway, we’ve encountered every type of offer and request, and we know how to negotiate fiercely on your behalf. No detail will go unnoticed, and no loose ends will be left.
At this point, you may think our time together is complete. Your offer has been accepted, and all that’s left is closing and moving into your new home. But we wouldn’t be a good neighbour if we didn’t offer some extra support at this stage. Our moving concierge service helps you make sure all your moving tasks are done, and you have a number to call for anything you need.
