25 Years ago, when I was a brand new Realtor, my manager suggested I get to know Richard because he was way ahead of the curve in our business. Richard was kind enough to share his knowledge and show me his set up, which included a computer that tracked his clients, and produced an automated paper newsletter. Very cutting edge!
I still remember being wowed to see a printer that actually wrote on envelopes. My how far we've come...

I still consult with Richard and attend his courses a lifetime later. There's always much to learn, and I love learning it from folks like Richard.

We met Richard a number of times at open houses when we were looking for our first house in Cabbagetown and again when considering options to upsize later. Richard's professional, friendly approach and knowledge of the downtown area always impressed us. When we decided sell our Cabbagetown home, the only agent we called was Richard.

Our selling experience with Richard proved to be every bit as good as we expected it would be. Richard was professional, responsive, and brought in a team (photographers, stagers, etc.) to get our house ready within days of our decision to sell. Richard coordinated all aspects of the listing while we were out of town, and made the process completely painless. Richard's market knowledge was incredibly helpful and he provided very useful strategic advice.

After the first weekend open house we had an offer that we were happy with and our house was sold within a week of being listed.

Whether you are looking for an agent to sell your downtown home or are looking to buy in or around Cabbagetown, it does not get any better than Richard and we would gladly recommend him to anyone.

Working with Richard was a wonderful experience, his knowledge and unique familiarity with cabbagetown made selling my house easy and worry free. He was readily available, always friendly and we sold in less than a week. I look forward to working with Richard and his team in the future. I will happily refer him to everyone I know.

Our first home! We are so excited - and we couldn't have done it without you. We never felt pressured or rushed, and your calm and professional advice was always there to back us up. Thank you for all of your help and for being so patient with us. You are the best!

Just a short note to thank you for all your efforts. It's fair to say we would not be in this enviable position without your help. We are officially adopting you as our good luck charm and we'll now expect you to come along whenever we buy lottery tickets. It's hard to believe all of this has happened in less than three weeks; you were just the task-master we needed. Take care

I can't believe its really happened!! It seemed to go so incredibly quickly. One second I was falling through my attic floor and the next I was looking at a SOLD sign on my front lawn. And all thanks to you. You have no idea how great you were and are.

We greatly appreciated your calmness, intelligence and humour. We have been spreading the word about you since that night back in January you came to our little abode and sat down, had a drink and seemed to care far more about who we were as people rather than the selling of our house. We always knew that if we were going to sell that you were the guy.

I promise that if I ever know anyone who owns a 10 billion dollar house and wants to sell.....we'll send them to you.

Thank you so much.

I've been working as a mortgage broker for over twenty years now, and Richard was one of the first agents I worked with. I'm delighted that over the years that relationship has never faltered. I'm now one of the most successful mortgage brokers in Toronto and he is one of the most successful agents. In all these years, I've never had a property he's sold no appraise for value, I've never had to second guess a closing, I've never had a deal not close. My only problem with Richard is that his clients don't come back. Not because they're unhappy: it's because they never move again!

Richard Silver is a great real estate agent. We kind of inherited him - he was the agent on the house we were interested in buying. He made the process so much easier. He is knowledgeable about his markets and his clients and he provided lots of information on the neighbourhood and the house. He was honest and pleasant, and he never bugged us. We would recommend him to anyone buying or selling in Toronto.

I met Richard in the summer of 2008 when I was planning a move back to Toronto from B.C. He is a knowledgeable, committed and hardworking realtor who is also kind and able to tune into what his clients need. He found a house for me quickly and the process went extremely smoothly. I also really appreciated his honesty and integrity - he is not one of those realtors just looking for a quick sale - Richard is someone who, once you work with him, will become your realtor "for life" whether you are buying or selling!

Right House, Right Price, Right Location. We couldn't go wrong with Richard Silver. In about 20 years of house-buying and selling with him, we found him sympathetic, perceptive, and CALM -- especially when I was hyperventilating.

I have known Richard as one of his clients and as a lawyert who was actively involved in real eatate tranactions. I have found it very difficult to believe most salepersons as they have a terrible reputation for exaggeration and their primary interest is to get your signature. Richard is on the other hand a true professional, honest and and an expert who does not try and fool anyone and his word is his bond.I trust Richard's judgment and analysis and his dedication to completing a sale is extraordinary. He deserves his reputation as a top saleperson and i sincerely trust him.

Richard has bought and sold houses for me since 1982. I have found him to be totally reliable, trustworthy, a good advisor, and remarkably flexible, given our propensity to change our minds several times about our requirements. I would recommend him highly to anyone (and I have done so, many times).

I met Richard and bought a house from him. My years associated with Real Estate, as a teacher and professional, had not blessed me with the acquaintance of a Realtor as hardworking, straightforward, knowledgeable and honest as Richard. His depth of understanding of the fundamentals of Real Property values and transactions has cemented my faith in him and loyalty to him.

I'm a repeat customer of Richard's because I know I can trust that he is always working for what's in my best interest. He takes care of the details and he makes himself available throughout all stages of the process. And if the situation gets to be nerve wracking, he's incredibly calm and logical.

I highly recommend Richard for buying and/or selling. You won't be disappointed!

Each year as I review the past 12 month's the results for Richard are the same. Executive committee status which is symbolic with being in our "top ten"
Richard has long had a reputation for expertise and success in our profession and is an intergral part of our company's 80 year record of success.
Thanks Richard for another wonderful year.

“I met Richard when he started as a Realtor at Martel R.E. on the Danforth. Over the decades I cannot begin to count the number of referrals he gave my firm to act as appraisers for his clientele. We have served numerous clients of RIchards and each has praised his abilities, his dedication and strong professional standards. He is one of my "go to" people when I need real estate advice, from the practical to the ethical. He is technically far ahead of the pack with his strong computer skills. I count Richard as one the finest real estate professionals I have ever known and as a delightful human being. Richard does not have customers or clients, he makes friends whom he serves well.

We first met Richard in 2005 when we walked into an open house he was holding. We ended up buying the house through him and retaining him to sell our condominium. Due to some unusual circumstances (completely unrelated to Richard), the sale of the condo was quite difficult. Throughout the entire process and no matter how stressful the situation was for us, Richard was calm and reassuring and focused. The condo sold!

In 2008, we decided to move again and called Richard. We bought through him and then he listed our home for sale. Everyone commented on the extremely professional job he did with the listing - the pictures taken professionally, a stager hired - it was fantastic, and of course, our home sold quickly.

We will always use Richard as our agent and will always recommend him to anyone we know who is buying or selling a home! He is calm, knows the market extremely well, it is well connected, is well respected (deservedly), while always fun and nice to be around. His assistant Jan is wonderful too.

Richard is a terrific member of our team at Bosley. Not only is he a consistant member of our Executive Committee (our top ten agents) but he is always willing to share his experience and expertise. He is particularly helpful when mentoring our new agents in a weekly group we call Mastermind. His sales and technical knowledge is invaluable to our firm. I wish I had another 100 agents like Richard!

His success speaks for itself. Never have I heard anyone say anything but the best of him....Nancee Helfert
