Who Cares if the Ground Hog got it right,
Spring is STILL Coming. I promise.
Spring is Springing! Yay! I just came inside from shooting a video outside and WOW! It’s nice out! Yes, I realize that when you get this and read it that it could be cold and rainy, but those cold days are just about over. Everyone loves Spring, primarily because it means… summer is near!
For many across this great country though, it’s still COLD, grey, and snowy! One thing is for sure, this winter season is coming to an end. It does every year without fail.
Just like the weather seasons come and go, so do the seasons of life. I just turned 51, my youngest is in college, and my oldest is off figuring out work and life. Are you with me when I say that these seasons seem to come and go faster and faster as well as the time? My wife reminded me last night we have shared 38 of my birthdays together.
Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever. But it’s the low points, those tough times, that I have learned the most from. All of these experiences through the seasons make me who I am.
Here is a photo of me with my team members during the GetLoud for SickKids Run for a Cause held last year at Fort York, Toronto with the hopes of raising funds for those young angels who are in great need.
A Real Estate Company That Gives Back!
Your REFERRALS help the Kids!
So, what does this have to do with you and real estate?
Spring is a time of action, a heating up of the desire for a new place to call home for many. Maybe you or someone you know is right now looking or considering it. That’s great! We are here to help with that. Whether it be a list of the 10 best buys matching home buying criteria or delivering top dollar on a home sale along with our written guarantee of the asking price, our award-winning SYSTEM and TEAM are eager to help.
Unfortunately, there are some that will have a Springtime they would much rather forget.
With all the beauty this Springtime brings, there is also the ugly for some. Just down the street from where I’m typing this, SickKids Foundation has a full house of kids with many fighting for their lives. For them and their families, Springtime is the furthest thing from their mind. Don’t get me wrong, these families long to see their kids out in the yard playing or riding their bikes – but for now, they are praying this will be a season of healing.

We are on a mission to raise $50,000 for SickKids Foundation. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from the homes we sell. As you know the SickKids Foundation does awesome work in helping kids fight through and survive nasty life-threatening diseases like cancer, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and others. They also lead the way in early diagnosis of Autism and rapid recovery from spinal cord injuries.
If you or a friend are thinking about selling, make sure to choose a real estate company you can trust!
A real estate company with experience, proven results, and a give-back philosophy!
A Real Estate Company that Gives Back to the Sick Kids Foundation
Most don’t know though that SickKids is a non-profit organization, so they depend on sponsorships and donations to provide their world-class care and keep costs for families of these beautiful kids to a minimum. So when you or anyone you know 
REFER YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS:
It is very common at the beginning of the year for all of us on our team to sit and reflect on the past year. We think how grateful we are for ALL the many supporters of our team. Our business survives on our clients and friends referring us to those they know looking to buy or sell a home. We put our heads together and said we HAVE to give back to those who give so much to us! It’s really not fair that all of our past clients get treated the same as our Raving Fans. So we created an EXCLUSIVE program for the Raving Fans of the Toronto Platinum Realty Team!
Who do we consider a Raving Fan? A Raving Fan is someone who has introduced us to or sent us the contact information for someone who is looking to buy or sell a home. If you are receiving this letter, it means you have officially been entered into your first 6 months of our Raving Fan Appreciation Program.
THANK YOU for being an amazing supporter of our team! We hope you get excited about this exclusive new program for our Raving Fans. We care for and appreciate each of you SO much and are excitedfor this special program to show our appreciation.
If you or anyone you know is considering selling, give me a call or pass on my number.
Thank you in advance for your referrals!
My number is 647-977-9752.
Over the last decade of helping almost a thousand families sell or buy the place they call home, we have met so many wonderful, loving, caring people. We are so grateful. Thank you for reading over this month’s Homeward Bound, and thank you for referring anyone you know considering buying or selling to my team. They will be in good hands and a very worthy cause will benefit as well.

Who do we consider a Raving Fan? A Raving Fan is someone who has introduced us to or sent us the contact information for someone who is looking to buy or sell a home. If you are receiving this letter, it means you have officially been entered into your first 6 months of our Raving Fan Appreciation Program.
Included in the Raving Fan Appreciation Program:
- Once a month, our raving fans will receive a custom PACKAGE on your front door – keep an eye out for it! Inside
it you will receive a gift. We will make it fun each month, and there will even be opportunities to guess what it is. :) - Every quarter we will have a smaller, exclusive event JUST for our raving fans – think spring family picture mini-sessions or Summer movie night!
- Each quarter, Ahmad, Diana, and Sam, and our amazing agent partners will treat those who referred us that quarter to a special dinner!
So how does this work? For every introduction that we receive from you, your subscription to our Raving Fan Program will be extended by 6 months! If you send us 2 introductions that means you have a year extension in the program. 3 introductions, 1.5 years, 4 introductions, 2 years, etc. Again, we are trying to REALLY give back and show our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to those who truly support us by referring us to their friends and family. It’s not that we don’t appreciate ALL of our clients, but there are many who have REALLY stood out to us as Raving Fans, and it’s time to GIVE BACK!
We, of course, had to define what an introduction is. When you send us the contact information for someone that is looking to buy or sell a home in the next 6 – 12 months, that is an introduction. We REALLY appreciate it when so many of you tell us that you gave our information to someone, but the truth is, we never hear from them. :( We have found that people lose the information, or are so busy that they don’t have time to call. The best thing to do is to tell your friend, family member or co-worker that we will be reaching out to them to give them some free information about buying or selling a home. People love it because we are coming from a place of contribution then we will reach out to them. We are NOT pushy or in their face. We come from a place of VALUE and will send them some tips about getting their home ready, or buying a home, etc. Another super easy way to be countered as an instruction is if you send us and your friend and email introduction with everyone’s contact information – you truly look like the hero!
They say that everyone knows 5-6 people a year who are looking to buy or sell a home, so this should be SUPER easy for those who are getting this letter. :) You can call our office at 647-977-9752, you can send an email to info@torontoplatinumrealty.com, or you can email your agent directly. Our amazing agent partners, Ahmad Shalforoshzadeh, Sam Shalforoshzadeh, Diana Shalforoshzadeh, Grace Shalforoshzadeh, Mahvash Moloughi, Ali Bashiri, Leon Toplin, Megan Abbasian, Sarah Cosgrove, and Tara Richardson.
THANK YOU for being an amazing supporter of our team! We hope you get excited about this exclusive new program for our Raving Fans. We care for and appreciate each of you SO much and are excited
Warmest Regards,

Why I Support Sick Kids Hospital
I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Sick Kids Foundation. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that non-profit organization.
Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Greater Toronto area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Now, not only being a son but also a father, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can see the good work these people do for the children.
My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help the Sick Kids Foundation in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Sick Kids Foundation shares similar commitments to their patients and since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
