Testimonials
Roger
The Gordon's team is very friendly, professional and welcoming. The process went very well and they addressed even the slightest concerns.
Jamie
After a loss in the family, I had to sell a family member's property and house, which were in a remote location and several hours from where I lived. Enter Gordon's. Communication through phone, text and email was timely and often. Document signing and paperwork were all handled through email. Each member of the team in this process were friendly, helpful and professional.
Mary
Gordon's was outstanding at executing their part of the process. Most notable for us was that everyone did what they said they would, when they said they would.

Real Estate and Estate Settlement for Executors
Being the Executor for an estate (Estate Trustee) is a considerable responsibility - juggling fiduciary responsibilities, stakeholder communications, beneficiaries, and 10+ professionals in varying industries just to settle the physical assets of the estate (including appraisers, auctioneers, lawyers, real estate agents, and property managers to name a few). That’s a lot to manage whether you’ve done it before or not. The good news is, since 1956, we’ve established ourselves as experts in providing estate settlement solutions for executors of estates and their estate administration support (estate lawyers, trust officers, etc.).
We take care of everything (and everyone) related to the physical assets in your custom estate settlement process. Best of all, engaging us doesn’t impact your executor fee as our most valuable effort and support, unlimited project management, is included in the same fee you would pay to just sell the property (the real estate commission). We are there with you from the time you are made aware of your role, to initial understanding of the estate situation, to planning and executing the settlement of personal property assets to preparing, listing and closing on the sale of all real estate assets. We make things simple, safe, and seamless for you (and in turn the stakeholders and beneficiaries you are accountable to).
Our guarantee is that our team of knowledgeable professionals and our integrated real estate process will deliver peace of mind.

Real Estate Experts - Getting it Right for Over 40 Years
Our team holds a number of Senior Real Estate designations and has developed, from decades of listing houses, a single purpose: getting them sold properly! Our unique approach means that we consistently succeed for our clients - offering a 98% sale success rate. Compare this to the average market across Ontario, which has a list to sale rate of about 60-65%. Not the best odds for a goal-driven seller. We believe the one size fits all world of regular real estate is not predictable enough for our clients. Read more about our real estate services here.
Move Management - 20 Years Strong
We have been integrating move management with our real estate services for over 20 years. Gordon’s holds the Circle of Service distinction with the National Association of Senior Move Managers. Our team also taught the Canadian Certified Relocation and Transitions Specialist course. We always have a senior focus - our typical clients are people who are downsizing, estate executors/trustees and power of attorneys. You can read more about our integrated moving services here.
Sale of Goods - 60 Years Strong
Our company is not a start-up. Even though our holistic approach to real estate, move management and sale of goods is innovative - we’ve been doing this for a long time. With origins in the live auction industry, we have a background in tried, trusted and true sales methods that work. Over the last 20 years we’ve adapted these methods to include online sales and our clients are reaping much larger rewards. Learn more about how we manage and sell your possessions here.
Gordon’s Downsizing & Estate Services does it all, and because we are experts, we do it well.
