Fox Marin Associates

I have bought and sold a couple of properties through Ian. He is very thoughtful in his approach to the way he sells. He is very consultative, honest and always had (has) my best interest in mind. He always has gone above and beyond with every single ask. I very highly recommend Ian! mahesh

AMAZING!!! A friend referred me to Fox Marin as I started looking for my first home in Toronto. After one phone call, I knew Kori was the perfect fit for my search and I was never disappointed. She is an amazing realtor that took the time to answer pages and pages of questions I would send her every week. She equipped me with data to better understand the Toronto real estate market, was speedy in getting me the answers I needed and spent numerous evenings going on open houses with me. Kori was actually the one to recommend the house I bought and it's the perfect house for me!

Jessica was so great to work with!! Looking for a condo to rent in Toronto is quite brutal and I was nervous about finding a a place that fit my needs, but along with her associate Ian, she made the process so quick & effortless on my part. They are both professional, honest & go above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Kori and Ralph helped me to buy my first home! They took the time to meet with me and understand exactly what I was looking for. Their professionalism and business sense reduced my search time and helped me buy a house that I only dreamed of before I met them.

I can now call Ian Busher the family real estate agent. Always very informative and honest. Went beyond the duties of an agent and guided me throughout the entire process. Ultimately making sure I got the right place. Definitely recommend him.

Kori is an excellent realtor and an even more exceptional person. For our first home purchase, she helped make our experience very exciting while keeping us informed about the whole process so we always felt relaxed and at ease. When we got the place, she genuinely felt as excited as we were. We absolutely love working with Kori! You relate to her quickly not as your realtor, but as your friend who helps you with such an important purchase in your life.

Jessica was wonderful to work with. She assisted my wife and I in our attempt to find our next place to rent. Our expectations were greatly exceeded and we are very happy with the unit that we have found. We both highly recommend Jessica, she is very professional and at hand for her clients. Jessica went out of her way to help us in our search, we are very grateful for her assistance.

Jessica was the most wonderful realtor I have ever worked with. She truly goes above and beyond, giving information, advice and guidance each step of the way. Her knowledge, patience, honesty, and professionalism helped make the process very easy, despite the increasingly stressful market. I would never consider working with another agent, and will continue to recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Choosing Kori and Ralph Marin, aka the 'FoxMarin' team, was the best decision I made when re- entering the real estate market. Selling my home during a challenging period in my life, I needed to put my trust in good hands and these two pros are at the top of the ladder! Kori and Ralph's interpersonal skills, staging/ organizational expertise, and marketing background turned what was going to be a monumental task for me into an exciting and highly successful venture!. Kori and Ralph are a dedicated, hardworking and prospering team, both prepared for anything and everything thrown at them, and they completely own it the second you begin working with them. They met challenges professionally and collaboratively with their 'zen' style, efficient speed and broad expertise, producing results that went beyond my expectations. If you want to get the challenging task of buying or selling a property in the GTA done professionally, with ease and expertise, I can't think of any other choice that would give you the FoxMarin standard of excellence- they are top shelf!

Very professional and accommodating. I often felt like I was being a bit of pain to deal with, but they had no problems dealing with my pickiness and helped me find exactly what I was looking for.

Ian is a superb real estate agent. Incredibly well versed and experienced in the industry and his persistence paid off for the both of us. We were able to get the only property we were interested in at the price we wanted. We highly recommend working with him.

Ian Busher made navigating the intense TO real estate market a breeze! Not only a consummate professional and unwavering advocate for his clients, Ian brought tremendous insights about the state of properties from his previous experience as a general contractor and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I was happily set up in my new home. I would recommend Ian without hesitation.

I and my husband were looking for our first home when I chanced upon a stunning listing by Fox Marin Associates. A quick google search showed a rare 5 star rating piquing my curiosity and I quickly filled out their web inquiry form. Best decision ever. Ralph called me back the next day, discussed our housing needs and introduced us to Ian. From knowing nothing about the Toronto housing market to successfully buying a condo we love, in 5 months, would just not have been possible without Ian's help. He was thoroughly professional, patient with all our queries and gently guided us in understanding the process of buying a house. His vast experience as a real estate agent and contractor were extremely useful when judging a property. We completely echo previous reviews of Ian being cool headed and not at all pushy. We knew we had him on our side. Not only that, since we were new to the process, he introduced us to our mortgage agents and lawyer. With both of them, we had a smooth hassle free experience. Overall it was extremely pleasant working with Ian, Ralph and the Fox Marin Associates. I am happy I reached out to them just on the basis of a listing on Facebook and I highly recommend them to others !

Ian Busher did a fantastic job selling my home. He went above and beyond, even going so far as to personally stage my house prior to the first open house. The house sold in one day. Ian was also my buying agent, and was able to get me the house I wanted at the price I wanted. He worked hard for me throughout the entire process. Highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling their home.

I loved working with the Fox Marin team. They were knowledgeable, upfront and fun to work with which can make a stressful situation a lot easier. I was very happy with the sale and staging of my condo, the place looked amazing and they negotiated a great deal for me. I would recommend them for the sale of your home.

Working with Fox Marin has been amazing! Ian was my realtor, and he is absolutely incredible. Not only is he a warm, friendly, approachable and understanding realtor, he is so well in touch with what's happening in the market and exceptionally knowledgeable of the homes and condos in Toronto and the GTA. He very quickly understood exactly what I was looking for and went out of his way to help me find a home that suited my needs and stayed within my budget. He honestly and sincerely offered his advice and opinion on each place we saw, never making me feel like I needed to purchase a specific place. It was refreshing to see each home from his perspective of not only purchasing a place to live but also future investment and the impact of development in the surrounding areas. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my future home through his patience, warmth and in-depth knowledge of Toronto and the surrounding areas. My purchase ended up being a bit complicated as I had a trip booked during the time I bought and had my closing for my new home. Ian and his team took care of EVERYTHING seamlessly - the whole process was so incredibly easy - even being abroad on holiday! Even after my closing, he has continued to offer advice and support with ensuring my home meets all my needs. Thank you so much Ian- you really are a rock star. I cannot praise him and his team enough - I am so grateful!

Ian Busher and the Fox Marin team were exceptional throughout my entire home-buying process. Ian is responsive and attentive and has a deep understanding of the current and future real estate markets. Plus, his background as a fine carpenter and general contractor lets him see the potential in a property that most realtors miss. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Ian Busher and the team at Fox Marin made our entire home buying experience a real pleasure. At the height of the Toronto market hysteria, we had a calm, knowledgable, dilligent and professional team on our side, that comforted us through the entire process. We would highly recommend anyone looking to buy property, to seek the guidance of this team.

I owned a triplex with difficult upstairs tenants. It was really time to sell. Ian provided an ear and a shoulder and came up with a strategy. Then came the task of getting that particular unit ready for sale. Ian hired the trades and managed the upgrades within a very tight framework. He kept the situation calm and under control and more importantly, within budget. He listened, he communicated, he executed. It was so great to have someone so capable stand beside me through the process of putting the house on the market. Ian and his team staged the apartment and by the time it was all said and done, it shone. The listing produced multiple offers and I was thrilled with the outcome. He was my knight in shining armour.

We worked with Ian Busher at Fox Marin for the sale of our last home and the purchase of our current home. The process took only 3 weeks and our home sold for 100% of the asking price. Our listing on the website was beautiful and professionally done and Ian was always available and eager to help. I will definitely use Fox Marin and Ian Busher again for our next sale and purchase.

Very happy with agent Ian Busher. Attentive and understanding and most importantly wise and extremely patient as I looked to buy a house in the Toronto housing market.

Ian and Jessica are everything you could ever want in a Realtor experience! They really came through in a pinch, and were so knowledgeable and prompt. They really kept us at ease with their honesty and skill. Can't recommend them highly enough!

They anticipated my every need...and this from 10K miles away!! Fox Marin took charge of my investment property and not only exceeded my expectations but did something very rare in any service industry - they anticipated all my questions, requirements and concerns and addressed them so I did not have to. I have never experienced this until now. And then to top it all off, they delivered stellar results: on time, on budget and with fantastic tenants. Their advisory capabilities, professionalism, integrity and "ownership" of my needs are exemplary. I am forever grateful and look forward to other areas of future collaboration.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a rental property in Downtown Toronto and were referred to Jessica and Ian through a family friend. We were immediately impressed by their professionalism, expertise, patience, and attention to detail. They answered all of our questions efficiently and effectively, ensuring that we were completely involved in every step of the process. Ian and Jessica truly went above and beyond in order to find the perfect property to fit our needs, and we could not be more thankful for their efforts. We are extremely satisfied with the service that we received, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. We couldn’t have asked for a better pair to help us find our first home!

Ian is a spectacular real estate professional. Throughout the process, he patiently organized each viewing with us, and went through each unit as if he were buying the place himself. He provided a fair and informed opinion every time on the listing price and the hidden costs of purchasing and maintaining real estate, as well as the insights about the state of the real estate market. On top of all of that, he _went above and beyond_ when he spotted a really good deal. In a fast-moving market like Toronto, this is exactly the service that you need as a buyer or investor: within minutes, he was on the phone with us and arranged a viewing with the seller. We saw the unit in an hour, and we placed the offer later that day, and bought the unit. One year down the line, we see similar units listed for significantly higher prices. Thanks to Ian, we were lucky to find and close an opportunity in midtown Toronto.

This was by far the BEST real estate experience. We were moving to Toronto and needed to rent a place. It was our first time here so we desperately needed the advice and support. We got in contact with Jessica prior to our arrival. When we arrived, she had already scheduled some excellent viewings for the day. By the end of the day, we had made up our mind. Then she sat down with us an entire evening, writing the application with us and then waiting for a response. Finally, after submitting the application, she was kind enough to have long phone conversations with us, guiding us all throughout the process. Renting a place is usually a very stressful process. In this case, working with Fox Marin turned it into a pleasant experience. We are now very happy with the place we rented.

Ian at Fox Marin worked with me to help find something in my modest range, offering his advice as I searched for my new home. Would certainly recommend them, as well they will be my first stop when I'm back in the real estate market.

Ian Busher is an excellent real estate agent. He was very helpful during the preparation of our home for the market, the services he provided where excellent and he provided excellent exposure for the listing. Ian answered any and all questions and followed through with any issues that needed to be addressed. In the end we received well over asking for our home and it was thanks to the skilled negotiating offered by Ian. I have and will continue to refer my friends to him.

Greatly appreciated Ian Busher's professionalism and can do attitude. Ian's ability to manage the negotiation process was most appreciated. Ian ensured expectations/what to expect & when- were clearly communicated , which made for a seamless transaction. I would readily work with Ian again.

Ian Busher is a thoughtful, strategic real estate agent who worked tirelessly to help us sell our starter home and find our dream home in the Beaches. As a former general contractor, he has a lot of insight into houses and their quirks. He sees what many people don't, including the risks and potential rewards of any given property. Just as importantly, though, he's a kind and conscientious person who understands that his work can make a big difference in people's lives. You can count on him. I would recommend him to anyone.

What a great introduction to real estate in the Toronto market. Ralph and Kori are a highly qualified, extremely knowledgeable, and very genuine team who expertly guided me through the purchase process. I appreciate their endless patience for my questions and the straight forward responses they provide. It is very clear that the Fox Marin priority is that my interests are met to the highest degree of satisfaction. Thank you

Excellent real estate agency! Jessica was very knowledgeable and professional and made the whole process easy. Questions answered immediately and set up apartment visits without delay. We were able to find exactly what we were looking for thanks to the hard work and dedication of Jessica. Thank you so much.

Ian and Jessica were a great help for us. Looking for housing in Toronto is a pretty painful experience, but they were patient with us and willing to give us good advice (including telling us that no, we didn't need to jump on a specific listing, which ended up meaning they needed to do more work helping us).

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ralph professionally for over 10 years. Within that time he has helped my buy a few properties and find great tenants. Ralph is professional and extremely dedicated to his clients which results in great experience. Tried tested and true.

Kori and the whole team at FoxMarin are exceptionally dedicated to their profession and above all else their clients. I've used FoxMarin for purchases, for rentals and they consistently deliver the best customer service.

As someone who has wanted to invest in the Toronto Real Estate market for some time Ralph, Kori and the entire Fox Marin team were simply amazing and guided me through the entire process from beginning to end. Ralph found the perfect investment pre construction opportunity and was able to get me platinum front of the line access to one of the best projects in the city. With Ralph’s guidance I was able to secure an stellar floor plan that made it easy to rent out upon the projects completion. The Fox Marin team rented the property for me and ensured that I was able to get the best possible tenant at the highest rental rates in the area. After holding on to the property for several years, Fox Marin again exceeded my expectations by selling the property for a record sale price in the building. If you are looking at or thinking about anything Toronto real estate related then look no further then Fox Marin. I look forward to working again with Ralph and Kori in the near future!

Both Jessica and Ian were amazing! They went over and above the call of duty to help us find a great place to live - they were available and on top of this challenging housing market!

Moving to a new city is a very stressful process especially when you haven't figured out what area to live in! Working with Ralph made our transition to Toronto so much smoother than I could have ever imagined. He helped us find the perfect place and he understood our time constraint! Ralph was able to find what we needed in a day. He showed us a variety of options that suited our needs in great areas. He walked us through the entire process from A-Z and I would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the GTA area.

In the midst of this heated, heightened condo market, Kori and Ralph found me my home (not just any place) but my FABULOUS home within 2 weeks. HOW? It happened because of their experience, knowledge of Toronto and their keen ability to understand you and your lifestyle. Their insight into the fast-paced changing market means the ultimate difference in helping you understand where to buy. Whether you are a first-time owner or making a second purchase . . .they can guide you on a condo, home or investment property. I have worked with them repeatedly...and that's the telling detail. Make the right choice -- FOX MARIN.

Buying our first home was made so much easier with Fox Marin! We appreciated their knowledgeable and expert team who helped us determine what areas to look, where we could find the best value for our modest budget. Fox Marin walked us through every step, including finding us a top mortgage broker and and home inspection agent. We interviewed a several agents before deciding to go with Fox Marin and they came out heads and shoulders above the rest! I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home that wants to be comfortable knowing they are getting the most knowledgeable team to work on their behalf. You'll be in great hands with Fox Marin!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ralph Fox when I purchased my condominium last year at Bathurst and Bloor. Ralph was a tremendous help from beginning to end and made the entire process easy, comfortable and enjoyable. His knowledge of the real estate market in Toronto, his keen financial sense and his ability to forecast into the future of the condo market gave me the confidence I needed to go ahead with the purchase. Ralph was patient and understanding and always made sure that I was up to speed on every step of the process. He explained things to me in terms I could understand and made sure that he was always available to answer my questions, offer advice and make recommendations. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his service to anyone seeking assistance in the buying or selling of their property, as his experience and knowledge is invaluable.

Seriously.... Kori and Ralph are the best of the best - no doubt about it! They know the Toronto real estate market inside out. They've made all the other realtors I have ever worked with just seem so second rate. They clearly understood my needs, and then went right to work in finding me exactly what I wanted. They were always available, and were ready to address any concern or question I had, day or night. When it came to selling my place it was a total turn-key, no stress experience. Every aspect, and every detail was taken care of for me! Whether you are looking to buy or sell (or both) run -- do not walk -- to Fox Marin. You will not be disappointed!

Kori is without a doubt the best real estate agent in Toronto! I had only two weeks time to find the perfect condo, and did she ever pull through. From the second I met her she was professional, congenial, and focused on one outcome: getting me exactly what I wanted at the best possible price. The morning we went condo hunting she picked me up at my front door with a Starbucks in hand and a detailed itinerary of the day's stops. I've never condo-hunted so stress-free! Kori showed me 10 places, and although one stood out of the pack as my favourite, each place was great and fitted my needs - which shows she did her homework. Within one day of negotiations the place was mine - and what's more, she even arrange an early move-in date to make life easier for me. I would recommend Kori to ANYONE in need of an agent in the city. She is absolutely fantastic, a complete gem to work with, and someone I now consider a great friend.

If I could give them 6 stars I would. Ralph & Kori tirelessly, and I mean tirelessly helped me navigate the crazy Toronto market and landed me my dream home. I was not an easy client. Not only are experts in what they do, but they guided me through the emotional roller coaster ride of searching for the right place in a hot market. I felt like a found a life partner in my agents.

Kori and Ralph were so great to work with! I had reached out a few years ago on an acquaintances recommendation. Needless to say, their knowledge, personality and professionalism was impressive. My wife and I had no idea how much effort, strategy and skill goes into selling a property quickly and garnering healthy offers. The impeccable, magazine quality staging blew us away. Our place looked absolutely amazing. We had no idea it could look that good! Almost made us want to put in an offer on our own house! If you want to see what attention to detail and quality service should look like, list with Fox Marin.

Kori helped me successfully purchase my first dream home in Toronto. Kori is one of the hardest working people I have met, making me feel 100% confident at every step of the buying process through her attentiveness, attention to detail, down to earth attitude, and strategic sensibility. Kori helped me understand the market so I could easily make an informed decision about the massive investment I was about to make. I look forward to working on my next investment project with Kori; I'm confident her proactive approach to all details, candor, and passion for her client's goals will propel her to become one of the most respected agents in the city.

I met Kori and Ralph five years ago through my father. They helped me buy my first home in the Canary District and get my foot into the realestate market. Kori and Ralph made purchasing my first home fun, exciting and the process of buying to occupancy seamless. Since then we have kept in touch and both Kori and Ralph are always there when you need them. Their knowledge of the realestate market and future trends is amazing and I recomend them to anyone who is interested in buying, selling or renting. Together, Kori, Ralph and their team make you feel like more than just clients but a part of the Fox Marin Family.
