Long ago, we determined that real estate was about realizing your dreams, goals, and ambitions -- and how we play our role to get you to that place. Richard Silver is a Sales Representative and leader of Silver Burtnick & Associates at Sotheby's International Realty Canada. On top of that, he is also designated as an ABR, e-PRO, and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS).

All these combined help him deliver an experience that goes above and beyond for his clients. A past Director-at-Large for the Canadian Real Estate Association, as well as a past President of the Toronto Real Estate Board, Richard is adept in the market and has a level of expertise you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
Services
We have access to an impressive platform that will completely redefine the way you search for properties in Toronto (and beyond). It's a modern approach to your property search, where you swipe right on homes you love, left on those you don't, and create a tailored search that feels far more like fun than work.
We pride ourselves on providing an experience for our clients that is unmatched, proven, innovative, and successful. Essentially, we make your home dreams a reality -- especially when it comes time to sell. As a team, we have developed a nuanced and adaptable strategy that helps our clients gain more from what is likely their largest asset.
At Silver Burtnick & Associates, we believe that your buying efforts should be supported by true local expertise. We provide insight on the market, the homes, and the areas, right down to the street. We know that your buying needs come first, which is why our role is to understand what you need and where exactly you can find it.
A huge part of marketing your home is ensuring that it reaches buyers no matter where they live. That is why we are such large proponents of the role digital international marketing can play in the sale of your home. The fact of the matter is that, with our connection to Sotheby's International Realty Canada, we have access to a truly international, proprietary network that helps promote your home to buyers around the world.
We are exceptionally proud of the client experiences we provide -- and those we've provided in the past. Have you worked with our team before and want to share your experience? Reach out today to tell us how it went. Erin always made us feel like we were her priority. I appreciated that she made herself available to us at all times and responded to our questions and emails promptly.

2019 - Richard took care of every detail without fuss or complication. I got a quick sale which set a new record for the building - despite my unit being north facing, and on a lower floor. I was very pleased. Five stars.
2022 - a lot of agents don’t like handling rentals when they specialize in sales - but Richard took on the job cheerfully and professionally. The unit was cleaned, staged and photographed beautifully - resulting in about six requests for showings - and two offers on day #1.

I've been working with Richard and Jim on a new project to enhance their client communication and the experience has been nothing less than stellar. I will be personally referring my network of friends and family looking to sell or buy in Toronto. I highly recommend working with them!

Richard Silver is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and responsive; he was able to correctly figure out what style of building and apartment would match our (perhaps idiosyncratic!) preferences, needs and tastes. He found us the ideal apartment at the right price in exactly the right location - and this was all done remotely because of Covid travel restrictions. Amazing!

Whenever Bitcoin prices go up, the media and scammers come out. Stick with the team that has been here all along. Don't rush in and blindly buy Bitcoin because it's on tv. Contact Patricia Brayan directly through whatsapp she is very professional in order to develop an investment strategy. Bitcoin can do different things for each person. Bitcoin is… a currency, Bitcoin is digital gold, Bitcoin is a wealth multiplier, Bitcoin is a long term investment opportunity. The people profiting from Bitcoin today invested there faith and money long ago. It's never too late to invest with mrs Patricia

I highly recommend Richard and his team. We had a unique property and Richard's strategy to stage, market and sell surpassed the other realtors we had spoker with - and that came out in our final selling price. Richard is completely open, honest and easy to talk to. He put up with my many texts and questions and guided us smoothly through the process. He was always easy to get a hold of. Richard has great connections to ensure moving coordination, moving, staging, and storage. His team was superb (Thanks Celia!) He even provided an online app to help with changing addresses etc!

We recently sold our house in Cabbagetown. We decided to use Sotheby‘s because we already knew Richard Silver and knew that he had been successfully selling in Cabbagetown for many years. The Torontoism team arrived for our first meeting and from the very beginning we felt secure, comfortable and excited about the whole process that they carefully and thoroughly explained to us.
Throughout the showings of our house and viewings of new places for us, we had lots of support and encouragement from the whole team, especially Jim Burtnick who quickly became a new friend. Celia worked very hard to

My experience with Oliver Craven was wonderful! I had a very short timeframe to find a place to move within weeks, and I was not the easiest client by any means. I had custom built office (desk & cabinet system) I needed moved into a rental unit as well as mounted TV's and installed chandeliers along with very specific asks (parking, storage, budget, etc)!
When we found the spot, an offer was already in the process of being finalized and Oliver found a way to help me put an offer together in a matter of hours that helped me secure my dream home!
I'm so thankful for his creative thinking, quick

Our realtor Celia Alves was incredibly helpful, patient and thoughtful in the purchase of our first house. She is honest, reliable, personable and gave us quality advice. She always made herself available to us and got us information quickly. We were very happy with our experience at Silver Burtnick and will recommend them to our family and friends.

Richard Silver can celebrate an exceptionally long and flourishing career in real estate. It was, in fact, he who negotiated the purchase of our first home way back in 1980. His skills, knowledge and communications abilities outweigh most others in the field. Richard is a compassionate and generous person who treated me with great respect through providing support, beyond-the-call, when guidance and advice were needed. He took the time to visit with me on several occasions to discuss and options and resolutions for a potential home purchase. His experience is deep and he is willing to share his

We recently sold our house in Toronto (while living in Montreal) with the help of Richard, Sherille, Tania and their team and it was a very positive experience. They are well-organized, very professional and were quick to connect us with excellent people (home inspector, house stager, painters, electricians, etc.) to handle all of the little details that go along with selling a house in a timely and cost effective manner. We would recommend Richard et al without hesitation.

We decided to enter the Toronto home buyer market for the 1st time and several of our friends had personally used Rizwan Malik so we decided to meet with him and see if would be a good fit as our real estate agent.

I cannot recommend Rizwan highly enough, he was attentive and very knowledgeable out the Toronto Market, he understood right away what we were looking for in our first home and help guide us away from poorly managed and renter buildings and less desirable builders. He was always our advocate, providing advice and information but never pressuring us into making a decision - I feel so

Richard is kind, generous, tech-savvy, forward-thinking, service-focused and genuine! His servant-heart leadership style compels him to share his knowledge and experience with other real estate professionals in Toronto and across the country. He is continually praised, by his peers, for his willingness to share his technology skills and his visionary role in the industry.
If you have an opportunity to work with him on the purchase or sale of your home or attend one of his learning sessions - don't hesitate!

I highly reccomend Richard and Kimberley as your real estate agent. The experience and knowledge they have was second to none and they helped me find my dream home at a great price as well as sell my previous home for more than what I expected. Thank-you both for a fantastic home buying and selling experience.

Richard is on top of his game just coming off his role as a TREB President. He has led the way in technology and helped many others along the way. His clients I am sure are treated just as he treats his colleagues, helpful in every way.
