I was born in Quebec City with very little knowledge of the English language. In 1980 I moved to Toronto, and I have been living and working in Toronto ever since. I am proud to say that I am now fluent in both languages, French and English, and I can assist you with your real estate plans and dreams in both languages.

While in Quebec City, I studied interior design, but it’s not until I became a Toronto Realtor in 1990 that my love of interior design came shining through.

I began my real estate career in a declining Sellers Toronto market in 1990, which gives me a truly unique market perspective from both sides, home Sellers, and home Buyers. I have sold hundreds of homes in the GTA.

My previous job experience includes working with a commercial residential Toronto real estate developer, working with the CBC in the human resources department, and working with a large insurance company in risk management. This work experience has given me the ability and skills to use every day when I advise my real estate clients.

My extensive database, the support of my powerful world renown RE/MAX brokerage, and my expertise in representing Sellers and Buyers is impressive. My knowledge of the Toronto market and my dedication to my clients is second to none.

My volunteer work with the Toronto Master Gardeners and with the Toronto Botanical Garden since 2009 has added to my knowledge of land, land care and land maximization, which I can in turn assist my real estate clients with. Land is the most precious and unattainable part of Toronto real estate and with my extra knowledge, I can not only assist my clients with tips on how to create an urban oasis but I can also assist with pro-tips on maximizing the value of the land.

My level of knowledge is well respected by clients and peers, many of whom follow my You Tube channel, a channel that is “organically” popular for real estate pro-tips. Please visit my channel here: joseecouture.tv

In addition to my interior decorating studies, and horticulture knowledge, I've completed the courses necessary through The National Association of Realtors and REBAC to obtain A Senior Real Estate Specialist designation, an Accredited Buyer Representation designation, and a Sellers Real Estate Specialist designation. These designations allow me to provide my clients with extra knowledge to meet their individual home needs. With my experience as a Toronto realtor for over three decades, I have the pleasure of assisting many generations of families, including assisting first time buyers and Seniors in need to sell to right size.

Having worked for a developer in the past and as a homeowner myself and having renovated my own home from top to bottom, I understand home Sellers and home Buyers’ concerns from a consumer’s point of view. I am knowledgeable about construction quality and costs and can assist my clients with improvement pro-tips.

I am always thorough in everything I do for my clients. I am proactive and always thinking ahead. I anticipate instead of reacting to the ever-changing Toronto real estate market. I always put my client’s best interest first.

I love what I do, and my top passions are people, homes, gardens, and art.

KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS

Despite COVID-19 restrictions and a hot housing market when we arrived, she expertly guided us through this stressful time with unabated energy and care until my family was able to find a property we could proudly call « home ». A few years later when the time came to sell our home, Josée and her team worked tirelessly in order to prepare our home for a successful sale. Her in depth knowledge of the Toronto real estate market and judicious advice paid off big time: selling our home over asking in just two days! We couldn’t be more pleased. De plus, un grand merci pour nous avoir servi en français, ce fût très apprécié!

Josée nous a servi en Français. Kudos.

She was patient and informative and ensured we did not over pay. The process was so seamless and easy that we worked with her again to buy our second home. Over the years Josée stayed in touch and kept us up to date with what was happening in the real estate market overall and in our neighbourhood. Most recently we had the pleasure of working with Josée again to buy a condo for my mother in Spadina Village. Josée’s experience, knowledge of the Toronto market, and tenacious attitude make it easy for us to highly recommend her.

Josée has a lot of experience, is very professional and is someone you can really talk to. Looking for a condo was quite daunting at this time of my life. She listened, explained, took the time and had patience, driving all over Toronto, stuck with me until we eventually found a unit that I was happy to buy. It’s my “nest" and I am very thankful. She has also represented me as a Seller Agent and Buyer Agent in the past and was equally great with both. I would highly recommend that you hire Josée as your Realtor.
