the story

Founded on success.

We know that tomorrow is different for everyone - there are no right ways forward, just the ways that are right for you. So we developed a business that wants to get to know you, your needs, and your dreams, in order to deliver you the tomorrow you deserve.

Our success was not built on buying and selling - it was built on relationships. We are well aware that Real Estate is one of the largest investments families will make, so we made it our priority to guide you through that journey. Whether it be your first house, investment or downsize, we focus on how we can ensure the possible outcome on the rest of your life.

Blending our years of experience and your goals, Gilbert Real Estate intends to deliver you to your tomorrow - whatever that may be.

We’re not just door openers.

Our in-depth knowledge of the city’s housing market and passion to deliver an exceptional experience go hand in hand; We’ll always tell it to you as it is. Not only do we know the most reputable developers, or which streets are safe from flooding, but we also know where to find the best cappuccino within a 10 minute radius.

Our local expertise means we go beyond simply matchmaking and we can add (or subtract) value beyond just looking through the lense of comparing listings.

We lead in performance.

We provide insightful real estate expertise to a diverse group of clients, all with different personal goals, tastes and lifestyles. The one thing we strive to keep consistent with each of them is a streamlined process, driven by intelligent, innovative and tech forward strategies.

We take pride in our reputation and dedication to providing exceptional data driven results while maintaining a stress free experience. This goes beyond just the transaction itself. We have a team that consists of contractors, engineers, designers and lawyers to help ease every step of the home buying and selling process.

Michelle has been our agent for 2 home purchases and 1 sale.
We would (and have!) recommend her to every friend we know on the hunt for someone to help them navigate the challenges of Toronto real estate. We love Michelle!

Michelle helped my partner and I find our first home.
She was so honest and patient with us throughout the entire process and extremely knowledgeable. We couldn't be happier in our home and couldn't have done it without her!

I have worked with many realtors in the past, and I have to say Michelle has been the best, she was an absolute pleasure!
She is extremely professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She has a deep knowledge of the market and she is not shy to provide insights and data to help you navigate the options out there. Throughout the whole process I felt I was in good hands, and at the end, I have to say I was right! I highly endorse Michelle for anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

Michelle helped my partner and I find our first home in Toronto’s east end.
She and her team were beyond professional: proactive, patient, communicative, true market experts. They made the hair-raising process of buying your first property as seamless as possible. If you’re reading this review wondering if this is the right choice, don’t worry: you’re in great hands.

Michelle helped me and my partner find our dream home!
She was incredible to work with, completely understood our goals and made the whole process painless! If you are a first time home buyer, or really any kind of home buyer, I highly recommend you work with Michelle!

I think if you work with any other Realtor you are already making a mistake in your home buying plan.
Michelle is unreal. The thing that’s really incredible about Michelle is that when she’s helping you buy a house she not only looks out for the regular stuff (number of rooms bathrooms etc) but she is also looking at the intangibles like “is this a neighbourhood that my client would enjoy being in? Does the house have a special something that the client hasn’t mentioned but would love based on their lifestyle”. Michelle has made the house buying process feel like a partnership rather than just pushing through a purchase. The thoughtfulness, honesty, and care is next level. Trust me you only want Michelle.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience working with Michelle!
From start to end, it was evident that accommodating our schedule, recommending listings that perfectly matched our vision and listening to our all of our input came naturally to her. Her enthusiasm and optimism is something that we admired and appreciated! We would highly recommend Gilbert Real Estate to anyone looking to find the home of their dreams :)

We worked with Michelle to purchase our first house.
She was incredibly patient with all our questions, flexible with her schedule, and responsive. She is very knowledgeable and observant when viewing houses and gives her honest opinion and recommendations. We felt heard and respected throughout the process. She also works with great integrity, which is a feeling we did not get from speaking with other Brokers and agents, and this gave us confidence in trusting her expertise. She will be our first call if we ever decide to move or sell.

Working with Michelle to find our first home was a great, stress free experience.
She took her time making sure that we were well informed throughout the whole process and was available for any questions we had. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!
From, AB
Michelle is AMAZING and helped find us our home in Toronto.
She is warm, really listens to what you want and tries to make it happen within your budget. Very great communication, follow up and expertise. She gives homebuyers really great advice and we trusted her throughout the entire process. She goes above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone.

Meet the people behind Gilbert Real Estate

Michelle Gilbert

founder & broker

When it comes to property in Toronto, Michelle is an expert. At the core of her success is her ability to bring out of the box thinking and highly attuned market insights to her clients to achieve the best results. Her roots in Toronto began when she immigrated from Saudi Arabia over 20 years ago. Her passion for real estate grew soon after from shadowing her Mother, a real estate investor, and absorbing as much first hand industry knowledge as possible. This is where Michelle learned the ebb and flow of deal making, the power of a good negotiator, and most importantly, the value of market intelligence.

Beyond her extensive industry knowledge, her analytical and detail-oriented approach leaves clients feeling informed and in charge of the process. As a Certified Negotiation Expert, she can be relied upon to ease the stress of real estate off your shoulders while achieving the best possible results for your home. Michelle has sold over $50 million worth of real estate over the last three years and has been consistently ranked among the top brokers in this city.
