About Us - Our Business Philosophy

How You Benefit From Our By Referral Only Business Philosophy

The Thomas & Sally Cook Team does business on a "By Referral Only" basis. What does this mean to you, a 'Client For Life?'

Our team members are totally committed to providing our 'Clients For Life' with a world-class level of real estate service that is above and beyond expectation. We also offer the same commitment to your friends, family and co-workers.

By choosing to work By Referral Only, we can focus on giving you the special level of care and consideration that you deserve. Instead of spending the majority of our time constantly looking for business from the general public, we devote a lot of time to you.

It's a great way to do business and you'll appreciate the difference!

The fundamental concept behind By Referral Only is often referred to as the "law of reciprocity," or you get what you give. Some have simply called it, "what goes around, comes around."

The truth is that most salespeople view their customers. They make no long-term commitment to their customer's well being. They are after the quick sale, then on to the next.

We prefer to act as real estate consultants instead of salespeople. We want you to turn to us with your real-estate-related questions for years to come -- even if you have no immediate plans to sell or buy. We've been in this business since 1980 and have most of the answers to your questions at our fingertips.

Using a By Referral Only Realtor ensures you that your home-buying or home-selling experience will be as stress-free as possible.

To experience the difference, just give us a call today at 416.691.8118.

It Wasnt As Scary As She Thought
