About us
An expert in Real Estate marketing, sales and value analysis, the Sugar Team is a dedicated group of real estate professionals devoted to serving the needs of buyers and sellers throughout the GTA, York, Durham and Simcoe regions.
The Sugar Team's new approach to traditional real estate servicing has proven to be highly successful.
Business Mandate
To skillfully and ethically represent clients in the successful fulfillment of real estate transactions involving the financing, marketing, leasing, investing, selling and purchasing of property in a broad spectrum of classes, from the first-time home buyer to the seasoned estate owner.Business Philosophy
The Sugar Team is a team of professionals who aspire to advance the real estate industry and positively change the experience of buying and selling real estate. They consistently raise the bar as far as the type of representation people receive and in turn, deliver a more effective way of doing business. When founding the Sugar Team platform of services, Leigh and Taylor, Broker Owners of Royal LePage RCR Sugar, wanted to design an exceptional real estate business that would offer a portfolio of Real Estate services that was unique to the Real Estate industry. Shunning the traditional model of how real estate is practiced, they created and implemented the following:- All For One And One For All
In a typical real estate commission sales environment, agents strictly guard their contacts, client base, business strategy and knowledge. The Sugar Team has been structured to encourage all Sugar Team members to eagerly share their knowledge, spheres of influence, contacts and market expertise with every team member and all of their clients. They all work hard on every transaction and are rewarded for doing so. This ensures the entire team is working for every client, and a team allows them to provide a superior level of customer service. Today's real estate market requires a team that works together towards a common goal. The Sugar Team's business philosophy is truly: "All for one and one for all". - Advanced Real Estate Valuations & Research
Every home listed for sale and every home purchased receives an extensive financial business case on pricing value and location influences. The team always goes above and beyond to ensure their clients sell and purchase at the very best price. - Personal Attendance At Every Showing
For home safety and sales advantage purposes, The Sugar Team attends every showing of each of their listings. They believe that to best sell a complex product, such as a home, a sales agent needs to be present to provide information on the home features and location advantages. Additionally, to ensure the safety of every client, their homes and their home contents, a member of The Sugar Team attends every showing. No one is ever given a key or a lock box number to enter a Sugar Team listing without a Sugar Team member being present. - Always Available 7 Days Per Week
The Sugar Team understands that Sunday is the busiest real estate selling day of the week. They are happy to be available from 9:00 – 9:00 seven days per week. They appreciate that buyers shop after work, on weekends and on holidays. - Premium In-House Marketing Department
The Sugar Team has a strong in-house marketing department that delivers: custom floor plans, Matterport 3D Home Tours, aerial photography, videography, designer quality brochures, and custom websites designed specifically for every home. They believe in keeping the marketing in-house so that they can customize the marketing materials for each property and update them frequently to embrace every season change. Having professional, extensive and high-quality marketing is essential to generate leads and showings to best showcase each and every home. - Strong Print and Online Advertising Campaigns
The Sugar Team purchases monthly print advertising in magazines that are distributed without charge across York Region. This generates a substantial number of leads each month. They also advertise in Mandarin, Cantonese, Iranian and Russian community newspapers. Their custom-made property specific websites have high quality marketing content and are optimized for online search engines. They also extensively advertise their homes online on a large network of real estate websites to appeal to both Canadian and International buyers. - In-House Mortgage Services
Blair Dunlop is one of the sales representatives on the Sugar Team. He is a licensed mortgage broker and owns and operates JBD Financial Services at the Sugar Team Newmarket office. He can quickly suggest financial mortgage and lending solutions whenever necessary for Sugar Team transactions.
