The last time I bought a car, I looked on the internet for the one I wanted and when I found it, bought it from the salesman who was advertising it.
Houses are different. They do not roll off an assembly line. They come with neighbourhoods such as Rosedale, Summerhill and Lawrence Park. They have schools, stores, transit access and a history. And they are sold by salespeople who get their product from people like you and I and not from a single manufacturer.
Find an Agent you have confidence in and with whom you feel comfortable sharing your vision of your future. Such an Agent can almost always find you the right house.
Best wishes for success,
