Empire Estates

You can find us right on Residency Road, just across from where the Galaxy Cinema is. It’s a busy part of town, so there’s always noise from the street coming into the office. We spend a lot of our time talking to people about land and buildings, trying to figure out who wants to sell and who is looking to buy. It’s a lot of paperwork and phone calls, honestly. We have these big files full of maps and photos of properties that we’ve been looking at for years. Sometimes we have to drive out to see a site and it takes half the day just to get through the traffic. Our office isn't anything special, just a place to sit and talk through the details of a lease or a sale. We’ve been in this building for a bit now, and we know most of the people nearby. It’s a bit of a grind sometimes, dealing with lawyers and government offices, but that’s just part of the job in real estate. We try to be straight with people about what a place is worth and what the problems might be. It isn't always pretty, especially when a deal falls through at the last minute, but we just move on to the next one. We keep the kettle going for anyone who drops by to chat. It is just the way we like to work, keeping things simple and practical for everyone.
