I started living in the Yonge-Bay Corridor in 2007, and in 2008 began building my real estate business in Downtown Toronto. Now living in Roncesvalles, I help people buying and selling homes throughout the west end, while still guiding downtown clients through the condo market. 

The convenience, growth, and people in the vibrant Central and West Toronto pockets make them unforgettable.

Focused Local Expertise

I’ve seen the changes to the Yonge & Bay area firsthand. The towering condos, the emergence of new businesses, and the underground pathways that link them all. I know all about them, because they made up my daily routine for over a decade.

As a Roncesvalles resident for the last few years, with family ties that go back decades, I’ve come to learn this neighbourhood and the greater west end the same way I built my expertise downtown: true lifestyle experience as a local, not just an agent. My Polish family history has roots in Roncy since the 1950s, where my grandfather was also the pastry chef at the legendary Granowska’s patisserie at the corner of Roncesvalles and Fern Avenue. 

I’ve learned this city through traversing the bike lanes, trail networks, and cool laneways around the areas where I spend most of my time. When clients work with me, they know they’re getting better insight; I know what it means to live in a downtown condo and the lifestyle it provides. I also know what it’s like to plant roots in Roncesvalles, and what the day-to-day looks like on this side of the city. 

I understand the markets, the units and homes, and what you can expect whether you’re buying or selling in either neighbourhood. I also know what works for interior design and staging, depending on the property and the market, helping clients get the most value for their homes. With a deep interest in city planning and community design, I help buyers and sellers make informed choices that benefit their long-term plans. 

A Community-Based Network

I’ve built a strong network of local professionals who regularly work with me, and share my same business philosophy of providing high-level client-first care. My network is like an extended team, all working together so your transaction runs as smoothly as possible, from contractors to lawyers and whatever you need in between.

I work in these areas, I’ve lived in these areas, I know these areas.

Always Full-Service and Client-First

Beyond neighbourhood and market expertise, I’ve also bought and sold several residences and investment properties, so I know what it’s like to be on both sides of the transaction, whether buying or selling in your favourite areas.

I’ve based my work on thorough knowledge of the area, knowing the buildings, neighbourhoods, and homes inside and out, and providing a level of service that goes above and beyond. I am prompt, responsive, insightful, and strategic; when we work together, you’ll quickly see the value of a local approach.

The Difference Expertise Makes

“Unparalleled professionalism and commitment. Her market knowledge, attention to detail, and effective communication skills made such a difference. Her strategic approach and real estate expertise ensured a smooth, efficient transaction. Larissa’s efforts exceeded my expectations. Selling was a positive experience and I’m delighted with the outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent.”

— Shawn Bajwa / Seller

“Larissa pulled everything together remarkably fast. My ideal condo came on the market in the morning, I got in to see it after lunch, had an offer in competition by late afternoon, and it was sold firm to me by dinner. Efficient, detailed, and incredibly driven. My highest praise for her professionalism.”

— Seb / Buyer

“Hiring Larissa was a fantastic decision. She’s knowledgeable, committed and reassuring. She gives helpful advice while ensuring she’s working to meet your needs. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.”
