From Our Clients

“I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help, with the selling of Mom’s condo. It was quite a journey, and I really appreciated your support with each step of the process.”

– Tina

“The fix up of the house showed your mastery of your market and your experience with what is relevant. Judging the timing for the sale and setting the asking price was another master stroke. The number of offers and the ensuing bidding reinforced that the timing and pricing attracted lots of buyers.”

– Ralph

“You were there for us every step of the way when we bought the condo. You knew to ask all the relevant questions and if necessary interpret the answers. Then selling house! You knew all the right steps and once again, Ralph and I were the beneficiaries of you knowledge and expertise.”

– Mary

I am so glad I retained Bonnie Byford to handle the sale of my parents’ home in Toronto. Richard and Susan walked me through every detail of the process, from legalities, pricing, and staging through advice on what churches were having rummage sales and wanted donations. The sale itself went smoothly and quickly. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

– Joanne

“With your superb handling of the events we just sat back and enjoyed the process…You hit the ground running with style and grace and got the job done.”

“A tribute to your skills…it has also pleased us to deal with an independent neighbourhood Realtor.”

“The service received at Bonnie Byford’s was second to none and we appreciated Richard’s calm hand at the tiller whilst we navigated this particular storm of life that is selling your home – not house, but home, a fact that we felt we never once needed to explain. Thanks”

– Bruce

“Thank you for all of your patience in helping us find our DREAM HOME!”

– Len & Robin

“Both Richard and Susan’s expert advice and good cheer made searching for the right home to buy (with two small children in tow) a very smooth and enjoyable process! Then efficiently and effectively selling our home in a very quick turnaround and with multiple offers was fantastic! It was a true pleasure to have your help – thank you both so much! “

– Sarah & Raul

“Thank you so much for all your running this past summer! I don’t know how to thank you enough for all the unseen, unknown things you did for me and the house.”

Meet Bonnie & Richard Byford

Founded in a one-room office on Eglinton Avenue in 1977, it took only months for Bonnie to move to the storefront location that would quickly become a thriving family business and an "institution" on South Bayview.

For over 35 years, residents young and old have stopped to peer into the famous dollhouse and check the "listings board" for local real estate news. The atmosphere of Bonnie Byford Real Estate has always been one of comfort, emphasizing top quality service with a personal touch. Even Bonnie's office was designed to feel like home.

After only weeks in the new Bayview location, Bonnie's husband, Richard left his career as Project Manager with a large commercial developer and joined his wife in Residential Real Estate. Once the Byford Team got started, there was no turning back.
