About

Whether you're in the market for your first home, moving up to make room for a growing family or downsizing in your retirement, buying and/or selling real estate is about so much more than a sales transaction. The result will affect virtually every aspect of your life and lifestyle - from the school your kids will attend to the dinner parties you'll host to how far you travel for a great cup of coffee.
 
My top priority as an agent is to ensure you understand the process, the market and your options - and have the info you need (in the form of stats, sales, comparables, neighbourhood details and market conditions) to make the right decision for your family - with zero pressure (ever).
 
With 17 years' experience helping buyers and sellers (and renters!) achieve successful outcomes in the Toronto residential real estate market, I recently joined Sage Real Estate, a boutique brokerage with a great energy, second-to-none customer service, and an innovative and modern approach to marketing.
 
From an early age, I knew I wanted to work in real estate. So, straight out of school, I moved to Toronto from my hometown (a farming community in Southern Ontario) and set about making it happen.
 
After completing a post-secondary program in marketing and advertising, I hung my shingle in 2004. With a ton of heart, determination and hustle, I've worked ever since to grow my business - one home at a time - into what it is today.
 
Though incredibly results-oriented on the business side, I've always taken an informal and 'human' approach to working with clients. I love getting to know them, the way they live and their hopes and dreams - and helping them achieve the real estate goals that (quite literally) shape their lives.
 
When I'm not meeting clients or scouring the listings, you're most likely to find me spending time with my family - husband Petri, and our two young girls, Miina and Lumi - in our East York neighbourhood, or at our cottage on Lower Buckhorn Lake.
 
Thinking of selling or looking to buy? I'd be delighted to meet you for a free consultation to discuss your goals and options, and see if we're a fit.
 

Testimonials

“I would recommend Kristy highly to anyone who might ask!! She was incredibly kind and supportive in helping me deal with the sale of property after a death in my family - I have never bought or sold property and was very overwhelmed by the whole process! I also live abroad, which made everything more complicated. Kristy went above and beyond to ensure that everything was ready for the sale. We had quite a few hiccoughs along the way - she was always calm and quick to solve any problems that arose”

“Stop reading this review and just contact Kristy already. Seriously! Kristy came to us via a recommendation and we couldn't be more grateful. We were first-time (hopeful) home buyers with not much clue where to start, and with even less of a budget to work with. With Kristy's help, we not only found a home that was everything we'd hoped for and (way!) more, the searching and buying process was entirely painless. Kristy guided us through every step of the journey with a supportive and empowering approach. She's a knowledgeable, smart agent, a deft negotiator, and most importantly, a sincere and compassionate person who will act in your best interests. I have no hesitation in recommending Kristy, and I would be thrilled to know that our positive experience encouraged you to contact her. So stop reading this review and just contact Kristy already. Seriously! ”

“We worked with Kristy in 2011 to purchase our current home. We weren't quite sure where we wanted to be and she did an amazing job at introducing us to really beautiful neighbourhoods in East Toronto. She's kind, organized, and very knowledgable. I highly reco her for any of your real estate needs. ”

Raquel F

“Kristy took over our listing at short notice due to a personal issue encountered by the agent that we had been working with. Kristy got up to speed quickly and while using the information which we had already furnished to our previous agent, made some changes to the listing approach to ensure that she was comfortable that we would get maximum benefit. The house sold for over asking within two weeks. We would highly recommend Kristy! ”

Larry G

“I first worked with Kristy in about 2008 when she helped me buy my first home. She was patient, intelligent, kind, responsive and strategic, and we found the perfect property for me. We kept in touch for the nearly 10 years I lived there. By 2018, my family had outgrown the house I had bought on my own, and we were ready for a move. Kristy was amazing in our search, purchase, and then sale of the first house. She is such a delightful, smart and kind person that I am proud to call her a friend. ”

Rachel G

“Kristy helped me find a rental apartment in the fall of 2004. 15 years, 4 home purchases, 4 sales and 1 tenant search later, I can confidently say that Kristy is a great agent: professional, flexible and client-centric. Thanks Kristy for being part of our family over the years! ”

John J

“Kristy is such a lovely human! I worked with her to purchase my first (condo-alternative-sized) house. She was so great that, a few years down the road, after I'd gotten married and was pregnant with our first child, my husband and I worked with her to buy a home as a couple and size up, and to sell our house. Our place was listed for sale as I was in labour and sold within the first week of us becoming parents. She made the process so smooth for us as we were busy getting acquainted with parenthood. Kristy was a dream to work with. ”

“Kristy Wellwood found me my condo and I have been in love with it since the day I saw it and subsequently moved in. I found her friendly, open-minded and calming approach to be an absolute asset when making the biggest purchase of my life thus far. Whether you're buying, selling, renting, do yourself a huge favour and work with Kristy. You will not regret it. ”

Hayley M

“Kristy worked with my wife and I as we looked to move out of our rental apartment and buy our first house. she took the time to explain the process clearly and helped us navigate buying a house at the speed we wanted to move at. I would recommend Kristy to anyone looking to buy or sell. She has deep knowledge of the market and makes it a really smooth process! ”

Beyond being just a lovely person, Kristy is consistently helpful, knowledgeable, punctual, and thorough. Whenever we had a question about a potential home, she not only answered it promptly, but also went the extra mile to make sure we had all the relevant available information.

Amanda B

“Service with a smile! Whether you are looking to rent a place or buy one of your own Kristy is the one to call! When we decided to take the plunge and buy a house in Toronto it was a no brainer to call Kristy for her help! We had an amazing experience working with her to buy our first home. She made us feel supported all the way through the process. The neighbourhood we were looking in was very new to us but Kristy gave us some great insight into what was around which made the decision that much easier. Thank you for making this complicated process easy for us, we love our house and can't wait to make many memories in it! ”
