The Lotus Group

Please join us in welcoming Lee Johnston to The Lotus Group!

A seasoned veteran of Toronto real estate, Lee specializes in sales and rentals across Etobicoke and the wider GTA. Since 2019, he’s built his business on hard work and trust, delivering outstanding results for his clients and, more importantly, the kind of lasting relationships that turn buyers and sellers into repeat and referral clients. Those relationships are the heart of what he does.

Lee brings integrity and commitment to every transaction, along with a little fun, because buying or selling a home should feel good, too.

Welcome to the team, Lee. We’re so glad you’re here.

Full circle moment, and I’m still smiling about it. ❤️

Thirty years ago I worked at The Body Shop in Square One, and that’s where I met . We hit it off instantly. So many laughs between customers, the kind of friendship that just clicks right away.

Fast forward thirty years and my phone rings. It’s her. And honestly, it felt like no time had passed at all. Same laugh, same energy, like we’d just talked yesterday.

In the years since, Gaby has built an incredible life. She’s a mom of four, and she and her husband build beautiful custom luxury homes. Now she’s a real estate agent working in Oakville, so when the idea of her joining The Lotus Group came up, it was a no brainer.

Welcome to the team, Gabriela. Thirty years in the making and so worth it. Please give her a warm welcome, because you’re going to love her just as much as I do.

I keep hearing the same thing this spring.

The market is dead. Wait until next year. Nothing is moving.

But here’s what I’m actually seeing.

Homes are selling. Average GTA sale price is back above a million. Sales jumped 18 percent last month. And here’s the part nobody is talking about: there are more than 100,000 buyers across the GTA quietly sitting on the sidelines, all watching, all waiting for someone else to move first.

So no, the market isn’t dead. It’s just quiet. And there is a real difference.

The buyers I’m working with right now are doing something they haven’t been able to do in nearly a decade. They’re negotiating. They’re including conditions. They’re sleeping on it before they make an offer.

That alone is a gift the last cycle never gave us.

If anything in this is sitting with you, I’m always around to talk.
