Ayat Realty Group was founded by people who spent the past decade scaling sales teams at Canadian technology companies. We advise founders, executives and C-level leaders from the tech industry on their homes, their investment properties and space for their companies, privately and on their schedule.
Moving here for a role, or to build your company here. We match neighbourhoods to your commute, schools and lifestyle, run the search and the offers, and can close the purchase while you are still abroad.
From a first Toronto home to pre-construction and multi-unit buildings. Before you commit, we model carrying costs, rent, taxes and exit, and coordinate your lawyer, lender and accountant.
Office and commercial space for startups and scale-ups, from a first office to a headquarters search, with lease terms that match how fast you are hiring.
Our founders built and led sales and partnership teams at fast-growing tech companies, including a Canadian unicorn. We understand how vesting schedules, funding rounds and liquidity events shape timing, and we plan around them.
We never publish client names or deal details. Off-market searches and confidentiality agreements are available whenever discretion matters.
Pricing, offers and investment cases are built on recent comparable sales, rents and absorption, shared with you in plain numbers.
Shared documents, WhatsApp and a guaranteed call back within 3 hours of any request. You get decisions, not follow-ups.
We have worked with founders, executives and C-level leaders across Toronto’s technology industry on their homes, their investments and their companies’ office space.
Their names stay private. The results are on our track record.

Usually, yes. The federal ban on foreign buyers exempts work permit holders who have at least 183 days left on their permit, for one residential property, and the ban itself is scheduled to end on January 1, 2027. Ontario’s 25% non-resident speculation tax and Toronto’s 10% municipal version still apply to foreign nationals, with a rebate if you become a permanent resident within four years. We review your status with a real estate lawyer before you make an offer.
Carefully. Canadian lenders generally average or discount variable pay such as bonuses and commissions, and they need documents showing it is stable. Proceeds from shares you have already sold can usually go toward a down payment, while unvested equity is rarely counted. A mortgage broker who sees these files often makes a real difference, and we can introduce you.
It depends on where your office is and how you live. Clients working downtown often look at King West, Liberty Village, the waterfront and Leslieville for condos and townhomes. Families often look at Leaside, The Annex, Riverdale and High Park for houses and schools. Line 5 Eglinton, which opened in February 2026, has also widened the options along the Eglinton corridor.
Yes. We help founders and operators find and negotiate office and commercial space, from a first office to a headquarters. CBRE reported downtown Toronto office vacancy of 13.1% in the third quarter of 2026, with trophy towers at 2.7%, so the best space is tightening even though the overall market still has room.
Yes. We run video tours, handle documents and offers remotely, and work with lawyers who can complete a closing by power of attorney when needed. Clients regularly buy without being in Toronto for the purchase.
Yes. We do not publish client names, and we will sign a confidentiality agreement on request. Your details are used only to respond to you.
Tell us what you are planning: a move, a purchase, an investment or space for your team. We guarantee a call back within 3 hours, and everything you share stays confidential.
