Outstanding Real Estate Agent – A True Gem in the Industry.
I can’t say enough great things about my experience working with Socrates Apallas and his team including Claire. From day one, they have gone above and beyond in every possible way. Their deep understanding of the real estate market, paired with their proactive communication and insightful updates, has made the entire process smooth, informed, and stress-free.
What truly sets them apart, though, is their genuine care for their clients. Whether it's sending thoughtful holiday gifts like Thanksgiving pies, movie passes, organizing fun community events like ice cream treats in the summer, or simply checking in with timely advice and updates, Socrates and Claire consistently shows that their clients are more than just transactions — they’re relationships they value deeply.
It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, professional, and kind. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in your success and satisfaction, look no further. They are simply the best.

Socrates is the most professional and knowledgeable real estate agent I've met. He helped my parents sell their house in a tough market where other agents couldn't. He kept us informed every step of the way and took great care of my parents in ways I hadn't even expected. He paid meticulous attention to detail and went over and beyond what was expected. We could tell he really loves what he does and truly cares about his clients. I've seen few professionals, not just in real estate, work harder or with more passion than Socrates. I'd love to work with him again and have already started recommending him to friends.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Socrates and Living Toronto Real Estate team! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure our home was market-ready - even though we were overseas, thousands of miles away in a completely different time zone. Despite the distance, he seamlessly managed everything remotely, keeping us informed and handling all the details with ease.
His guidance on renovation choices was invaluable, helping us make the right updates to maximize our home's appeal. He also took charge of coordinating all necessary deliveries, making the process smooth and stress-free. Beyond logistics, his expert design, staging and sales recommendations made all the difference - every suggestion added value and helped attract buyers quickly.
Thanks to his expertise, we sold our home in record time and just slightly below our asking price! We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent and highly recommend Socrates and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We worked with Socrates years ago when buying our house in a crazy sellers market so we called on him recently for the sale of our condo in a buyers market. Socrates was amazing in the sale of our condo. We were traveling when it was going to market, so he and his team handled everything, from the time we got keys from the tenant including patching up drywall marks, paint and cleaning to staging and pictures. Everything went incredibly smooth and he made it beyond easy being able to trust his eye for design and strategic thinking in staging for the right demographic. It sold for above market price in a tough market for condos, while other condos in the area continued to sit in a stale market. We highly recommend Socrates and he’s the first person we call when we want an honest opinion and the best outcome.

Socrates, Claire, and Stam were amazing and helped us find a home that we love. As first-time homebuyers, we knew nothing about the process and they guided us through every step of the way. They listened to what we wanted and helped refine our search criteria. Socrates and the team were always available to view houses, knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking in, and had invaluable advice on what to look out for before and after the purchase. The team was professional, enthusiastic, honest, and really helped make buying a house an enjoyable process. We highly recommend Socrates and his team, thank you so much!

We had an incredible experience with Stam and the whole Living Toronto team! As newcomers to Canada, finding a home in Toronto seemed overwhelming. Stam made it seamless and stress-free from the get go. He is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and was invaluable in guiding us through all our paperwork. Stam found us the perfect condo in Leslieville . We couldn’t be happier with our new home and highly recommend Stam to anyone looking for a truly amazing realtor in Toronto. His professionalism and expertise are unmatched!
We help people like you buy and sell real estate everyday!
