Ira Kalemi Real Estate

Fantastic experience: Ira and Mario are among the most professional and reliable people I've worked with in real estate. My house was exceptionally staged and presented — seeing the finished result, I found myself falling for the old place all over again, and it clearly resonated with buyers too. What stood out most was how end-to-end the service was. Mario coordinated everything needed to get the house ready — painter, cleaners, pressure washing, lawn care — so I never had to chase down trades or manage the prep myself. That made the entire process seamless from my side. Throughout the listing they provided deep insight, professional opinions, and consistently timely communication. During negotiation Ira and Mario really took their time to advocate for me and get to the best possible outcome. Christina Santos managed the day-to-day and was excellent — organized, responsive, and on top of every detail from paperwork to scheduling. The transaction closed on time and without complications. I'd recommend Ira and Mario without hesitation to anyone looking to sell their property.

Fantastic experience: Highly, highly recommend Ira! As first-time home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. The process was overwhelming for us, but Ira was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer our questions and make sure we felt confident every step of the way. When it came time to make an offer, she wasn’t just supportive, she was a strong advocate for us. She provided honest advice, negotiated on our behalf, and truly had our best interests at heart. Even while my husband and I were traveling for work and dealing with different time zones, Ira was always responsive and made the entire offer process seamless and stress-free. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about helping us. Her professionalism and dedication exceeded our expectations. We are very grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend Ira without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: Ira was wonderful to deal with. She advocated on our behalf and got us a good deal on our first home. She never made us feel like our requests were too much and was always happy and willing to schedule additional visits/viewings etc. Any other matters regarding paperwork/legal were always attended to in a timely manner regardless of day or time. We felt like we were in good hands and the purchasing process was made much less stressful. You get the feeling Ira loves what she does and is always encouraging you to squeeze one more viewing into the day. It's great if you're indecisive and always on the fence. Do not hesitate to work with Ira, we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Positive experience: I asked Ira to list my house. She and Mario worked together with a strong support team to put my house in the market. My house was sold in just a few showings and close to the price that I expected despite the current tough market condition.

Fantastic experience: It was a distinct pleasure working with Ira & Anna Kalemi on a recent successful transaction. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and collaborative. They bring a high level of knowledge, efficiency, and experience to the table—qualities that serve both clients and our industry exceptionally well. Our negotiation was seamless, and both clients walked away fully satisfied. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again soon. Wishing you continued success in this season of excellence!

Fantastic experience: Ira and Mario are the most professional and reliable people in real estate I’ve known till now. Wish I knew them earlier. My house was exceptionally staged, presented, taken care of, shown, open housed, and sold all within a couple weeks of listing on the market. They provided deep insight, professional opinions and really timely communication. The biggest value to me is that all of this was done when I was physically away from the country! During the whole time I felt that I could give them my complete trust. During negotiation Ira and Mario really took their time to fight for their client, for the highest price possible, and provided great advice, so that the seller can make the best decision. I would 100% recommend Ira and Mario to anyone who seeks to sell their property. They are really people who adds value to the property!

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience working with Ira, Mario, and their team. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions.

Negative experience: The worst real-estate in Toronto. Do not trust him please

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Ira Kalemi and her team highly enough! She didn't just help us with a transaction; she masterfully orchestrated the complex, dual-process of selling our condo while simultaneously purchasing our new home—a feat we found incredibly daunting, but which they made look effortless. Selling in the current market was our biggest concern, but Ira and her team implemented an impeccable strategy that transformed challenge into triumph. Their approach was a powerful blend of deep market data, creative marketing, and precise pricing, all perfectly tailored to make our condo stand out. This wasn't a generic plan; it was a custom-built campaign that resulted in a high volume of viewings and, ultimately, a successful offer that met our goals. Her and her team truly turned a challenging market into our personal success story. On the buying side, Ira and Mario were equally phenomenal. They were our patient guide, our insightful advisor, and our incredibly sharp negotiator. They ensured we not only found our dream home but secured it at exceptional value, protecting our interests every step of the way. Their coordination in managing the delicate timelines of both transactions was flawless, making what should have been a highly stressful process surprisingly smooth and predictable. If you are looking for a realtor who is a true strategist, a fierce advocate, and a calming presence, your search ends with Ira and Mario Kalemi. They are, without a doubt, the reason we are so happily settled in our new home. They have our deepest gratitude and our most enthusiastic recommendation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Ira Kalemi on both buying and selling a home was honestly one of the best real estate experiences I’ve had. From the very beginning, Ira made everything feel simple and manageable, even when the process itself wasn’t. She has this calm, confident way of explaining things that makes you feel like you’re actually in control instead of just guessing your way through the biggest purchase of your life. On the buying side, she never rushed me, never pushed anything, and always came prepared. Every showing felt intentional. She knew what I wanted even when I couldn’t fully explain it, and she paid attention to the details — neighborhood, layout, long-term value, little things you don’t think about until someone points them out. When it came time to negotiate, she handled it like a pro. I felt protected the whole way through, and she got me a deal I was genuinely happy with. Selling with her was just as smooth. Ira was strategic from day one — pricing, timing, staging, marketing, all of it. She brought in the right people, gave honest advice, and made the house look its absolute best without making the process stressful. The communication was constant. I always knew what was going on, what the next step was, and what my options were. The property ended up selling quickly and for a price that exceeded my expectations. The thing about Ira is you never feel like you’re just another client on a long list. She actually cares, and it shows in every conversation, every update, every decision. She’s professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in doing right by the people she works with. If you’re buying, selling, or doing both, you want someone like Ira in your corner. I’d 100 percent work with her again.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Ira and Mario for both selling my condo and purchasing a townhouse, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

They managed to secure me a great deal on the sale of my condo and an equally good deal on my townhouse purchase.

What makes them even more special is that they are not only amazing professionals, but also genuinely good people who truly care about their clients.

Fantastic experience: We had an exceptional experience working with Ira and Mario. From the moment they stepped into our home, they took the time to understand our needs and recognized the love we had for our first family home. They saw beyond the Barbies and Legos, quickly identifying the home’s positive features and providing respectful guidance on how to best showcase them. Their advice was spot on, helping us present our home in the best light. When it came time to list, they offered a comprehensive assessment that went beyond just recent comparables, resulting in the optimal listing price. Their staging was magical, highlighting the beauty of our home and making us fall in love with it all over again.

Mario is right beside her moving mountains to make things work. They both have the negotiation skills to get the job done. We are both now able to see retirement on the horizon and i know that when we are ready for our next move, they are only a phone call away!

Fantastic experience: Selling a HOUSE in Toronto is a serious matter that requires professional expertise and hard work. IRA and Mario – are second to no one on Toronto real estate market. Their service is impeccable in all respects: planning, execution, communication, and customer care. We were desperate, fully aware that the help of a professional real estate agent is a decisive condition to sell a house in Toronto, not sure how to identify such a “rare bird” in a very competitive market. Thanks to My sister who highly recommended IRA & MARIO a five star team. IRA & MARIO works together and you get both for the price of one! And both of them are smart, knowledgeable, and efficient. They are present in each stage of the process and they always answer your questions timely, sometimes at 6:45 am (aren’t they sleeping?) Their communication is impeccable! More than everything, their performance far surpassed our expectations: they quickly found a buyer for our HOUSE and then negotiated the best possible price on our behalf. Based on our experience working with them, they fully deserve the highest rating for excellence in real estate. Thank you for your support and efforts!!!

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express how much we enjoyed using Ira's services for buying a new home and selling our beloved home. Ira was patient with us in the search for our new home, provided us with great insight, and ensured to have our best interest in mind.

Would recommend Ira 1000% to anyone looking to purchase or sell.

There was transparency throughout the process and we felt like they were with us, advocating for us, every step of the way. We will work with them again in the future and highly recommend them as your agents!

Her and mario were such a pleasure and blessing to work with and we will definitely recommend to any family and friends! Can’t wait to work with them again!!

Fantastic experience: Ira is a pleasure to work with! Professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced agent.

Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience with Ira and Mario! The final outcome was important, of course - **they helped sell our condo in a very unfavourable market, on a tight timeline, and at a price that we were thrilled with.** In addition, they were absolutely lovely to work with throughout the process. Clearly knowledgeable and experienced (e.g. in developing a strategy and executing it to plan), highly efficient (didn't waste anyone's time or energy), with fantastic communication skills (never once inaccessible by text/email/phone), and with tremendous adaptability (e.g. didn't get flustered when unexpected issues arose, problem solved and presented us with solutions). Also well-connected with various other professionals in the industry (e.g. painters, stagers, photographers, etc., all of whom were excellent in their work and managed on short notice). Perhaps most importantly, they treated our family with respect throughout, always making us feel heard and valued. I should note, we were put in touch with Ira and Mario by a relative who had also had an extremely positive experience with them - so our expectations were high going in but they were exceeded! We recommend Ira and Mario without hesitation and hope they'll be available if/when we need a realtor again! - H&D&P

Fantastic experience: If you want a great partner to prepare and sell your home, Ira takes it on and will go the distance required for an excellent outcome in a very challenging market. After deciding to downsize, we put our home of 31 years into Ira's hands to sell. From the first consultation she and Mario were open, communicated clearly with us about the process and what we needed to do to prepare for the sale. They were also realistic about expectations, the market and how our home would be authentically positioned. It was a joint effort and their knowledge and advice allowed us to focus on the details that matter and to respect the process. It takes a great partnership between owner and realtor to understand and appreciate the many aspects that are required to prepare your home for sale. Ira and Mario sold our home for well over asking and we are very grateful for their dedication, focus - and warmth. It made the process much smoother and we are extremely happy with the result! Thank you Ira and Mario! - A&J

Fantastic experience: It was lovely working with Ira!

Fantastic experience: I loved the service, definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Many thanks Ira and Mario, we can't speak highly enough of our experience with you both. We are so fortunate to have found you both. We thought of ourselves as seasoned real estate investors, however our approach towards selling our 100 year-old house was lagging far behind the latest real estate market trends. Although you both look very young, we soon realized that appearance has nothing to do with selling our house under challenging market conditions. You and Mario are truly market leaders who possess in-depth knowledge about neighborhoods, know how to estimate marketable house prices and have strategic marketing plans. All skills that resulted in our house being sold within one week after listing with a much higher than asking price. We believe it was not a coincidence, but due to the way you marketed the property through MLS listings, your good networking skills with many local contractors/investors in our area and excellent negotiation skills all combined. For those who are considering selling or purchasing a property, we highly recommend contacting Ira and Mario for a consultation. They are both excellent listeners, very patient, quick to respond for any questions you might have and most of all, they know how to efficiently use modern technology that will no doubt result in a quick and successful sale of your property. Once again, thank you Ira and Mario for your hard-work, commitment and care in handling our property. You are the ultimate combination in this profession and we wish you both all the very best in the coming years. H. and K. Jo June 02, 2023. East York, Ontario.

She always goes the extra mile and does so with a genuine kindness. We couldn’t be happier in our dream home. I would recommend her and her team 10 times over!

Fantastic experience: Ira and her team are true professionals. Our home was beautifully staged and marketed for the best outcome. We are very happy with the attention to detail and response time from Ira. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: When my wife and I decided to list our house for sale, we knew we had to have Ira as our listing agent. The market completely changed in June. We knew we needed a professional selling agent with a vast network and couldn’t rely on family/friend selling agents. Ira and Mario came to our house and gave us a detailed presentation on their experience, their process, and the next steps to get the house on the market as quickly as possible. Their presentation gave us a lot of confidence that we were working with professionals. We were also looking to buy a property in the Durham region. We decided on Ira to be our buying agent as well. Even though Ira is in East York, she made the time to show us properties all the way in the Clarington Area. One thing you will notice about Ira right away is that she is an expert negotiator. When we found our dream house, she negotiated with the selling agent and got us our dream house lower than expected. For listing our property for sale, Ira's designers came to our house and gave us a detailed list of changes to make. In less than two weeks after our first contact with Ira, we listed our house on the market. Even before our house was on the market, Ira was promoting the house on her Instagram and notifying her contacts. When our house was listed on MLS, she made multiple posts again on her Instagram. As soon as she made posts, we saw an increase in the number of showings. Our house was on the market for only 7 days. On the offer day, Ira negotiated with the buyers and we got an offer over asking in this market, where most houses are going under asking. In one month working with Ira, we bought our dream home and sold our current home above asking. Working with Ira was the best decision we made, and I truly consider her as a friend now as she has been the most accommodating agent me and my wife have ever worked with.

Fantastic experience: Ira is an exceptionally talented real estate agent and we are so happy that we chose to work with her when selling our home. With the market slowing down, we were uncertain of the outcome and weren't sure if we would be asked to compromise on our expectations. Ira respected our goals (both in terms of timeline and price) and helped us achieve them with her skillful staging, marketing, and negotiating. She is professional and personable, a dream to work with. We highly recommend Ira - you will not regret choosing her to represent you!

Fantastic experience: Ira and Mario are amongst the best real estate agents in town! They know the neighbourhood and the market trends inside and out. They are excellence driven professionals, hardworking, efficient, detail-caring, with great communication and inter-personal skills. They helped me to make beautiful staging and interior design improvement, and re-listed. My house stood out in the neighbourhood and was sold in a week during the market slowing down, with a decent price. PS: They have decent personalities to work with, who you can trust. I highly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: She’s a great agent. We are very satisfied. We recommend her highly.

Fantastic experience: Ira was an amazing realtor. She was able to find a really nice house withing our budget. My family dealt with realtors that responded really slow. However, Ira was really quick and able to close a house within 1 week of her being our realtor with her great negotiating skills. Furthermore, her husband is a real estate lawyer and can answer your questions and concerns. Highly recommended agent. Will definetely do business with her in the future.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I just bought our first home in Oakville with Ira’s help. From the moment we met her, she was professional, knowledgeable and extremely energetic. She spent a lot of time with us despite her busy schedule and worked around our 9-6 jobs, which meant late nights and weekends for her but she did not mind at all. We had a very specific style, preferred area and budget, which were not easy. We thought we would have to make sacrifices but Ira really came through for us despite some bumps we faced along the way due to the nature of the housing market. She also taught us everything we needed to look at while evaluating a home. As first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing. When we found the perfect home, she knew it as much as we did. She cleared the rest of her afternoon and headed with us for the showing and pre-prepared everything so that all we had to do was look at the place to confirm that we loved it. She negotiated the best deal for us (under market value) and got our preemptive offer signed within one hour at 9:30pm on a Friday night, on day 1 of the listing being on the market. She also sat with us and waited until we got the sign back. Who does that?! She’s amazing! Mario was also a world of knowledge in everything legal, mortgage, building/renovation + luckily for us, furnace room-related :-) He was happy to answer all our silly questions. Needless to say at this point, we highly recommend Ira Kalemi Real Estate across the GTA.

Fantastic experience: I and my wife are very much satisfied while she dealt with us to sell our house. Her sincerity and professionalism much appreciated. Wish her every success in her upcoming days .

Fantastic experience: If you don't want any worries about selling your house, just go with Ira Kalemi Real Estate. Professional, friendly, right to the point, and they keep you informed. They are the best!

Fantastic experience: Ira is the best. We were looking to buy our first home and had a lot to learn about the process. She was patient, highly personable, and knowledgeable, and walked us through everything from start to finish! We could not be happier with what we found. She made everything easy and worked around our busy schedules, often willing to schedule late night showings for us, even at the very last minute. We are very grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell, lease, or buy. She is the total package and makes things fun & easy, and gets the job done! We were able to buy for under market value without compromising anything we wanted. Impressive! She never pressured us and was calm and reassuring, Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: We met Ira by seeing her for sale sign on a home. Upon contacting her, she was responsive, helpful and became a friend. She helped us rent out our 2 condos and the purchase sale of our new home. She, along with Mario, have become friends to us ans always willing to help out with any questions we have. We really enjoyed our experience with them!

Fantastic experience: When it comes to real estate, Ira & Mario Kalemi know their stuff! We saw Ira’s signs on lawns in our neighborhood for a while before reaching out to her for help with our real estate needs. We saw the great work she was doing with others and wondered if she could help us. From the moment we had our first consultation with her and her husband, Mario, we knew we had made the right choice. They were patient when showing us properties of interest, and really listened to what we were looking for, no matter how impossible it seemed! In the end, they found us the perfect home. We were thrilled! But, it was selling our home that they really excelled at. They knew what needed to get done to make it appealing to buyers, and they ended up getting us top dollar! We tried previously with another realtor, and it didn’t go so well, so I know that the Kalemis did their homework and delivered. We will definitely be referring Ira & Mario to our friends and family based on our positive experiences. Job well done guys!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with Ira! She genuinely cares about her clients and it shows in her work. She worked hard for me as a buying client by consistently getting me the information and answers I needed to make an informed decision. She listens and values clients' opinions and is patient when addressing questions, which is super important especially for first-time buyers. She brought heart and empathy to an otherwise stressful process and was a joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Ira Kalemi and her team did an exceptional job in selling our home and exceeding our expectations beyond words!!! We are so happy to find her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for genuine agent who truly cares!

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of working with Ira and her team on recently selling my condo. She has been very helpful on every aspect and thanks to her i got it sold at a great price. Highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Ira Kalemi. We were so fortunate to have found her. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Ira, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She was the one to really listen to us by finding out what kind of house we were looking for and where. Also, anytime a home came on the market that matched our criteria, she made sure we knew about it immediately. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was patient with us answering all our questions as we were not only first time home buyers but new to the country as well. She was honest with us and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for homes. Even after finding the right home and winning the bid, we ran into a lot of roadblocks before the closing of the deal. Yet she was so patient and coordinated well between all the parties. We can't say enough wonderful things about Ira. A superb real estate agent!! WE LOVE OUR HOME and we plan to call her again when we decide to move to a bigger home!!
