What Our Reps Say
Glenda Sumner"I have worked in this same building under at least 6 different managers and about 4 different name changes for the last 21 years. I must say that the association with Prudential under Michael Manley’s management has been the most productive, educational and collegial atmosphere that I have experienced in all my time here.
I especially enjoy telling my Clients that we work as a TEAM, from my Real Estate colleagues right through to our terrific support staff, and helpful management. I feel that we all prosper and serve our Clients and customers better by focusing on the needs of those Clients, rather than on our own egos. I appreciate the genuine willingness on the part of all staff, colleagues, and management to be ready to assist or give advice at a moment’s notice when it is required. It goes without saying that Michael is the most “savvy” guy around when it comes to the latest technologies, and is always giving us new information and ideas to use in this “techno” world. All in all, I am happy to be associated with such a fine group of Real Estate Professionals."
Sandee Avery "Rookie, Veteran or anywhere in between, Prudential Properties Plus provides us with top notch valuable tools to assist us with our everyday Real Estate challenges. From our quick, courteous, and efficient support staff, our public-friendly, real time TorontoTheGood.com website, our up to the minute marketing materials, and our ever supportive management team we've got all the bases covered to provide our Clients with the best competitive edge."
David Favero
"Today, most people use the internet as a tool while searching for a home, so I feel TorontoTheGood is an invaluable resource and I have had many sales leads generated through TorontoTheGood."
Barbara Berrie "I feel that Prudential Properties Plus and especially all the systems that we have in place really are the key to my being able to get the listings that I do in the very competitive environment out there. My ability to offer TorontoTheGood.com as the best local website with all the features, pictures, open houses, updates and really quick turn around time of having our listings up and running on the site, really impresses potential Sellers. Also the VIP email system still has no comparison out there in any other company and it really works for the Seller. Here is what one of my past Clients had to say: “The Agent's Open House Lunch Barb organized on the VIP email system was extremely well attended and resulted in a large increase in our showings.” I also believe that Mike Manley’s involvement with TREB and George Sloan's interest in figuring out the rules etc. gives us an edge because we spend a lot of time discussing what is going on in the real estate business and are better informed and trained than any other Agents around. I say Cheers to all of us and thanks to all our great staff and fellow Agents in the company."
Alex Prasoulis"I have been with Prudential Properties Plus for some time now and I have to say I really like being here! I think the support staff is great! I really like having them around to help me with anything I need. I like the fact that we are assisted in doing advertisements and feature sheets. I also like the fact that I automatically got a new web site when I began. We have weekly meetings where things that are happening in the market are discussed. I think this is important."
Kerry Mark"I love everything about Prudential Properties Plus. Being in business for so many years, I've been with many other companies and life at Prudential is great. I feel quite fortunate to be working for the company. The support staff is great! The website is great, the referral networks are great, the technology you make available to all of us is great. Your weekly meetings keep us informed and pumped. The TorontoTheGood site is very effective. I get a lot of exposure from it and am no longer surprised to hear that Buyers were directed to my listings because of our site. The print lab is fantastic. We are empowered us to produce top quality colour feature sheets that assures that we can showcase our clients homes to the fullest.
Domenic Cristiano"TorontoTheGood.com has become a marketing tool for listings as well as working with Buyers. I have received enquiries that have allowed me to walk prospective Clients through my listings and our company’s listings on TorontoTheGood.com which allows me to spend time on the telephone with these prospects. This is a good way to get to know them and to start to develop a relationship. Both Buyers and Sellers like the fact we have other information on our web site regarding real estate and communities."
Valerie McKay"I believe that Torontothegood.com IS simply the BEST web site for the Toronto real estate market. I have yet to see a site that serves consumers, ie Buyers and Sellers, better. The wealth of information and the currency of that info is second to none, thanks to innovative design ideas and dedicated support staff."
Alan Coulter "Real Estate is very much a business built around relationships. At Prudential Properties Plus one of our core beliefs is to be "Client" focused as opposed to "deal" focused. What this means is that by really focusing on the Clients best interests & not on just making a deal we have a huge percentage of repeat & referral business within the company.
This,of course, is the way to build a very good, profitable & enjoyable business. We have a strong Management team & many extremely successful Reps. within the Company who are very generous in sharing their knowledge of precisely how to go about building such a business. In essence the relationships & support between the Reps within the office helps everybody become more successful. This is not the norm in the Real Estate industry believe me. !!
As for the "tools of the trade" all I can say is we are the most advanced office I have ever seen with lots of help to use them. Thanks Prudential!"

Bart Catania"Beside the fact that I have sold and rented quite a few properties directly from Torontothegood.com, I love the fact when I'm speaking to people about a property that I have listed, I can direct them to my site, where we can view the property at the same time as we discuss it. They love that and it has proven very effective. The ability to have someone's property displayed on our site within minutes of listing it is also very impressive and a great listing tool. In today's business you're on the internet or you're on the way out!"
Cristina van Blommestein "Having open houses on our Web site is increasing the number of people that are coming to my open houses. This is great for me since I get most of my business from open houses and I'm sure the numbers will increase even more dramatically in the future."
Jerry Sandler"I am most appreciative of the support staff in place at Parliament Street and Kingston. Road. Every time I run into a problem, the staff have been more than willing to assist me. I am received with smiles and a cheery attitude. This makes my job much easier. I also find the VIP open house e-mail program a great avenue and hope it continues. There is nothing that compares to the TorontoTheGood.com web site. It works for me. I consistently advertise in our Saturday Star ad under the TorontoTheGood banner because it gets me Clients. I easily get 5 to10 calls about my open houses and they look for the open house info on TorontoTheGood.com."
Monika Turner"Prudential Properties offers what most of us want from a workplace - friendly and cooperative colleagues, wonderful support staff, excellent technical systems and a mangement team that strives to keep us informed about our industry and market place. We,and our Clients, enjoy the benefits of what is without a doubt the best website in the business in terms of being customer friendly and informative, TorontoTheGood.com. Unique initiatives such as the VIP email lunch program offer our Clients that little bit extra which in turn gives us, as Agents, that bit of a competitive edge. Working at Prudential feels very much like living in the Beach- being part of a supportive community!"
Chris Proulx "TorontoTheGood.com has forced me as a real estate Agent to address this technology, which seems to be the future of our industry. It's made me more confident about being able to talk to younger, more technologically savvy potential Buyers or Sellers, and I'm constantly learning how to take advantage of the new technology."
Marilyn Moore
"I deal with a pretty upscale, younger clientele and almost all of them have Internet access. Being part of TorontoThegood.com gives me a huge amount of credibility with them. I am also using the net to increase my productivity with my Clients by asking them to go to TorontoTheGood.com to search for other real estate listings on MLS.ca. I want them to find the properties on the net that they want to see. I find that this way, I cut down on a lot of driving and extra work. I also find that they like to do the searches for themselves and this makes it easier for them to buy, as they see for themselves what's available. I have been getting from 40 to 50 people coming to my condo and loft open houses, and between 50% and 75% are coming from Torontothegood's open house section."

Ken Grieve "TorontoTheGood.com is a powerful tool that I have begun to use more effectively to get my clients' homes top exposure both locally and globally. So far I have had two buyers buy my listings off the Internet. TorontoTheGood.com is such a user-friendly site that it makes shopping for a house informative and effortless."
Marcella Spinace"If I were asked to summarize Prudential Properties Plus with one word, I would choose a company with CLASS. When I left Re/max, one day I came across dark blue signs which I liked. I though this was a CLASSY sign. I was right. in my 8 years with the company I always felt at home. Our administrative staff always volunteer a smile when asked for something, the support is exceptional. Do you want answers on new technology, well ask one of the Michaels and you've got it. Our Web site TorontoTheGood.com is very professionally designed. My first international sale came from our Web page, a client from Mexico. This month I am selling to the same overseas Client another property. What else can I ask for?"
Harvey Rowe"I am starting to hear people talking about TorontTheGood. Com at my open houses, not only complimenting it, but also using it to find listings. In talking to other Agents, their in house training is non existent. Ours has been Top Notch and I am sure ours will continue to be. Our graphic centre is state of the art and a great help in doing professional looking flyers."
Linda Williamson "I really enjoy TorontoTheGood.com myself as I can retrieve valuable information form several sources on it. It is very easy to create flyers from the site as well. Most of all however, I continually hear from my Clients and other Broker's Clients how user friendly it is and how they keep watch on it."
Cathy Morrison"The reason I stay with Prudential Properties Plus is very simple, and at the same time complicated (like me!!). I was trained by a very ethical and well-respected Broker, and when he retired, I ventured forth with much trepidation to join Prudential. I find myself surrounded by ethical, knowledgeable Sales Representatives who view this business the way I do, service first. I find myself surrounded by the best support staff in the business, state-of-the-art equipment, and leadership that keeps us on our toes. What more can I say?"
