His current market insights are spot-on—he knows exactly what tenants are looking for right now, how to price competitively, and what updates (if any) will make the unit rent faster and for top dollar. The whole process is always efficient and easy to work with: quick listing setup, professional photos and marketing, prompt showings, thorough tenant screening, and seamless paperwork. No headaches, no delays—he handles everything smoothly so I can focus on other things.

“Vas is great to work with! He provides amazing insights on what is going on in the crazy Toronto Real Estate Market which in turn helps make the increasing difficulty of transacting in real estate easier.

Lytton Joslyn

“I had the most wonderful experience with City Estates. Vas helped me find an apartment in the neighborhood I like which was within my budget. He was always available and answered all my questions as well as offered his own very insightful opinion on various pros and cons related to my particular situation and the current market conditions. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the real estate market. Amazing experience dealing with Vas at City Estates.”

Roman S

In the end, everything worked out due to Vassil's knowledge of the market and his dedication in following up with all requests and leads. We highly recommend Vassil as he provides a very high level of personalized service and responsiveness not found elsewhere. For anyone looking for a realtor that provides honest and straightforward guidance without undue pressure, City Estates is the firm to deal with.”

In a market filled to the brim with ineffective and disorganized realtors, Vas is truly an outstanding realtor!”

Ernie Ji

“We have dealt with Mr Vassil Staykov for our last house purchase. Mr Staykov was able to show us properties on a daily basis. Needless to say he's qualified and knows VERY well the real estate business. Also with with his professional advice we were able to make the right choice for our family, for sure in the future whenever we need to move again Mr Vassil Staykov will be the first person to call.”

Saul Wrightman

“Beyond expectation. In the current real estate climate of Toronto with record low inventory levels, buying a home is not easy. City Estates made it easy. They were more than a realtor - they partnered with me in understanding all aspects of my preferences: from lifestyle to aesthetic, to location, to layout, to even interior materials. Of course, we looked at financials (for condo management) and other longevity/investment/living related factors. As a time constrained individual, I have little time to seek out homes on a regular basis. City Estates constantly found me units to peruse that met my expectations in terms of vibe, lifestyle location. It wasn't easy given my requirements (near mtb trails, in the dt core, has parking/locker, large 1 bedroom, unique space, hardloft etc etc). In a situation where inventory was low, my segment criteria made the inventory matter even lower. Not only did I get a home to exactly my budget, but the entire experience was pleasurable, beyond professional and seamless. I have yet to have a real estate experience at this caliber (5th home purchase) and I will not need to look elsewhere for future investments. As a single income home owner, making a purchase has not been easier - given the competitive nature of multiple bids etc. The advice given in the bid scenarios were sound, and the strategy worked. City Estates is sharp, unconventional in approach and has strong business acumen. A partner in every sense of the word.”

Shaun M

“Vasil is extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and proactive. He helped us sell our house within a week and it was over asking. Vas guided us in how best to list/prep our home for the sale, shared and included us in his strategy, explained it so that we understood where he was coming from, and helped us post sale as well. He really went above and beyond to make this process super smooth for us. Worth every penny! Highly recommended for all your real estate needs!”

Tina M

“Vasil is the best realtor anyone could ask for he was proactive on the sale of the house did everything professionally and accordingly I am very happy with the help I received and will be using him for the next purchase of my home and Cottage”

Zeus Themelis

“I have only recently begun dealing with Vassil at City Estates He has a very professional and focussed approach and provides great service and feedback while working always trying to have the best possible outcome He has great communication skills and is very informative which helps make better decisions I will definitely use Vassil for other future opportunities and would recommend him as well”

Mike Ruth

“Working with Vassil on the sale of our home was a wonderful experience. He handled our transaction with a clear dedication, knowledge of this ever-changing market, and gave us much-needed peace of mind. I would without a doubt recommend Vassil to our friends and family.”

Sanja Chatzigrigoriou

“Vassil is an amazing realtor, probably one of a few left who genuinely cares about his work and clients. He successfully sold our condo during covid lockdowns while managing a very complex and tricky relationship with our tenant in the condo. He is professional but also very creative with how he approaches challenges and obstacles. I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends”

Info at Cycle Charge

“Vassil did an incredible job finding a quality tenant for my downtown Toronto condo during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic. Given the difficult market conditions/challenges, Vassil went above and beyond in terms of diligence, communication, viewing facilitation and strategy. He was very professional, responsive and quickly became a trusted real estate advisor. I would definitely recommend Vassil to anyone looking for any assistance with their real estate transactions.”

Mark Baci

“Buying our first home as exciting as it can be it was stressful. Lots of things gotta work together and working with Vassil was one the best decision we made throughout the process. He treated us like family and made this as smoothly as possible. He negotiated a great deal for us and closed the deal very efficiently while we had a very unique position. His market insight and knowledge was over the top. I already recommended him to two other friends and they both had great experience too. I'm sure I'd be working with him again for our next transaction.”

Sina Mohammadi

“It was such a pleasure working with Vassil to purchase a condo. The entire experience was very professional, he was able to give us relevant insights. He even went the extra mile to fix some small electrical fixtures for us. Highly recommend Vassil and the City Estates Realty team.”

sarah wong

“Vassil from City Estates Realty helped us buy a condo in DT Toronto. He is a knowledgeable and to the point realtor/real estate investor that is passionate about his craft. We found him to be both professional and timely in his communication and work ethic. We did our offers during Christmas eve/Christmas day and he was available whenever he was needed. Realtors in Toronto are a dime a dozen. The way I see it is realtors provide value in 1 - negotiation & 2 - experience to move buyers into good opportunities or away from bad opportunities. Vassil negotiated an excellent price on the condo, and valuable input on various factors affecting value. He is also experienced with aspects of home renovations and was able to give valuable insight for investors looking in that regard. All in all, I would easily recommend Vassil if you need a realtor and when my wife and I decide to move we will surely be seeking him again.”

Brian Tse

“City Estates is certainly top notch - strategic and direct approach when selling my home, very prompt and personalized service, no time wasted on the unnecessary. They just get the deal done. I have recommenced them to friends.”
