Helen Riabinin - Real Estate in Canada and abroad

Hello. My name is Helen Riabinin, and welcome to my website.

I'm a licensed Real Estate agent and I offer you my professional assistance in buying and selling residential and commercial property in Canada, as well as abroad. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and have accumulated a lot of experience in this field. As a result, I feel confident in such areas as investments and other finance-related sectors. I also have a good knowledge of the advertising and marketing industry, which means I know how to present the property that you are willing to sell.

I'm currently living in Toronto, Canada, so the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the center of my professional activity. However, I also offer my help in buying real estate in such regions as Florida, Central America, and Southern Europe.

Real Estate - buying, selling, investing

I am a licensed Real Estate Sales Representative (REALTOR) in the province of Ontario, Canada. I am a member of the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB), Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). I work with HomeLife - one of the leading real estate companies in Canada (3rd place in sales volume) and an International Real Estate Organization that operates in other countries as well. My brokerage (HomeLife Estates Realty Inc.) is located in Richmond Hill - the northern part of the Greater Toronto Area.

Live and invest in the Greater Toronto Area

Being a resident of Toronto and a licensed Ontario realtor, I mostly deal with real estate properties in the GTA and the surrounding area. I handle residential, commercial and recreational properties, and offer a wide range of related services.

There are two categories of buyers. First, there are those who are buying property to live there. For them it is very important to find not only the best deal, but the right environment. Although everyone has some common ground in their requirements for a "dream house" - like a safe neighborhood, excellent condition of the property, and so on - different people have their own unique needs. For example, families with children look for an area with a good school in it or a quiet park nearby. For others, it is very important to have sport facilities close to their home. And so on.

Another category consists of those people who are buying property for investment purposes. In this case, the selection criteria is different. More specifically, it is more important for them to find property that has greater potential for a value increase and which is easy to rent out.

When I work with a buyer, I take all of these factors into consideration, so that my clients get exactly what they want.

Buying real estate abroad

It's never a bad idea to have property in a warm place. At the moment, in some developing countries in Central America and the Caribbean, the cost of land and housing is comparatively low. In the future, this situation will surely change, and investments in these areas will give back a good profit. You can say the same thing about certain developed regions like Florida in the United States, or Costa del Sol in Spain, especially if you buy property there during periods of recession or real estate market collapse.

But the anticipation of a major value increase is just one upside of such a purchase. There is also the opportunity to retire in a sunny place with a low cost of living. Currently, there is a big trend for relocation to Central America and the Caribbean for people from the U.S., Canada and Western Europe. Moreover, many people rent out their property to tourists and snowbirds, and end up having an additional income that is quite hefty.

As you can see, there are many opportunities, which is why I specialize in real estate in this field - especially for investment purposes - and I can help you get the deal you want.

Investment

Due to my education and experience in the financial area, I feel very confident when it comes to investing. Since the economy is constantly changing, there are always opportunities for good investments in real estate. Sometimes there is a great demand for a specific type of property. Sometimes there is new development in a particular region. If you know these things, you can make smart financial decisions.

I constantly do research and monitor the situation, so that I am always ready to help you to invest your money for future profit.

For non-residents of Canada

Buying real estate in Canada could be a profitable investment and a smart move for your long-term plans. If you consider this possibility, I would gladly offer my assistance. I can select the property according to your needs and provide my professional support in all matters regarding the purchase of the property, including obtaining mortgage and financing from local banks, finding a real estate lawyer, dealing with government and other authorities, etc. Additionally, I will help with further maintenance of your purchase (renting it out, property management).
