Michael Meltzer
Realtor
Honesty and Integrity Above All Else. It’s been my slogan since I started as a Realtor in 1992. But it’s more than words—it’s my North Star. Everything I do flows from that slogan.
About me
Before we get to what really matters, let’s get the historical facts out of the way. I was born in Montreal and moved to Toronto in 1983 when I started law school.
I have a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill and a law degree from Osgoode Hall. I’ve practised law downtown and worked as a business consultant. A large part of my legal practice involved real estate matters, which was great experience for what I do now.
I obtained my real estate license in 1992 and formed Advocate Realty Ltd. in 1995, mostly because I wanted to make sure everything was done properly. I’m very particular that way. I joined SAGE Real Estate Ltd. in 2025 because, after thirty years of running my own show at Advocate Realty, I wanted a break from all the administrative and regulatory duties that come with operating a brokerage so I could spend more time doing the things I enjoy the most, like spending time with my clients.
I specialize in both condos and houses of all sizes and prices in Toronto; no commercial, no industrial and no recreational properties. I don’t try to be all things to all people. I always strive to be the best at what I do and I’ve found the best way to accomplish this is to choose a niche and learn everything there is to know about it. Together with the other members of The Advocate Group, who also moved to SAGE with me, we cover most of the GTA.
So why did I leave law and choose real estate? Two reasons: First, from a business perspective, I felt my legal and business backgrounds would provide me with a competitive advantage. Very few people in real estate have the combination of marketing, negotiating and legal skills that I’m able to use to my clients’ advantage. And second, on a personal level, I enjoy helping people. It’s as simple as that.
My primary goal has always been to give you the best service and treatment that you’ve ever had as a consumer; not just from other real estate companies, but from any other company. Period.
These are the principles that guide my relationships with my clients. To me, they’re carved in stone.
1.
I’m always honest with you because trust is the most important element of our relationship. I’m going to give you the bad with the good and I’m going to spell out the pros and cons of every situation.
2.
I treat you the way I’d treat my mother (we’re very close, so no need to worry). I really care about my clients and want to make sure you’re happy.
3.
I’m careful not to work with too many clients at the same time. I’m not interested in being the agent who sells the most homes. To me, quality is much more important than quantity.
4.
I always strive to do the best possible job for my clients. After seeing thousands of homes, I know the market, can spot quality, estimate value, and negotiate effectively. My legal training helps me protect you in the contract and secure the best deal. I take pride in what I do.
5.
I will always do what’s best for you, even if it’s not best for me. You’re putting your trust in me and I won’t let you down.
6.
You’ll never be pressured by me. Ever! I hate being pressured myself and always try to follow the Golden Rule.
What My Clients Say
So how does all of this come together and why should you hire me?
At the end of the day, you want a Realtor you can trust; someone who has your back. But you also want someone with exceptional skills and experience to do a great job for you. I’m that guy.
You can contact me anytime at 416-410-8585 or michael@michaelmeltzer.ca for a casual, no pressure conversation. I’d love to hear from you.
