See below for what his clients say about him.
“We had received Jethro’s notepads and newsletters for quite some time. Friends in north Leaside had used him to sell their house, so we decided to give him a call when we decided to sell. We contacted two other agents, but once we met Jethro, we knew he was the right person for us.
We had lived in our Leaside home for 29 years, so we were out of touch with the selling process. Jethro impressed us from the get-go. He was thorough and outstanding with digital marketing, even our friends were impressed with the way he presented things. Though he’s well recognized in our neighbourhood, he’s someone you need to know to see what a treasure he is. I remember one day he drove past me while I was walking in our neighbourhood and he pulled over to chat. He’s just that kind of guy.
“Jethro came highly recommended to us by our old Leaside neighbour, so we contacted him to discuss our unique situation.
My wife and I had plans to sell our house two years in advance. We knew exactly where we were going to move and wanted to be organized. Jethro was very good at giving us a run-down of where he thought the Leaside market was going and what we could do to prepare.
Despite our planning, we ended up in a situation where a great house became available in Bracebridge—where we wanted to live—a year before we were planning to move. Jethro gave us a lot of help and guidance on how to manage two houses at once. It worked out very well for us in the end, thanks to his invaluable advice.
"We’ve had two experiences with Jethro. We bought our first house with him and then sold it to buy the one we’re in now. We’ve been very happy both times. When we first started our search, we were looking for an agent to help us. We actually interviewed a couple real estate agents and Jethro was one of them. We were impressed with his professionalism and he seemed to know the business really well.
Jethro knows the market well and was able to point us in the right direction. At first, we were all over the map in terms of what we were looking for, but he helped us refine our needs. He was also very creative in his negotiation tactics. For our current house, one thing that people are always blown away by is he negotiated for the seller to fill the wine cellar for us. It was a great bonus!
"We originally met Jethro at our son’s preschool where his daughter also attended. I actually recognized him from the advertisements and notepads he sends out to our neighbourhood.
Rather spontaneously, we had spoken to the sellers of a home in Davisville about potentially purchasing their home. We grew interested in buying this house, but we wanted to know what we could get for the current house to make sure we could comfortably afford the move. We didn’t have a real estate agent, so we emailed Jethro and he came over the very next morning, which we really appreciated.
"We were introduce to Jethro through a friend who had used his services, so he came highly recommended. From when we first met him, the overall experience has been fantastic.
We have used Jethro’s services twice. I had first sold my condo through Jethro just before buying a house with my husband. He helped stage it and gave us coaching on how to present it better so that it would sell above asking (which it did!).
When it came to finding us the perfect house, Jethro was super knowledgeable. It was our first time buying a house together and he was great at explaining everything and taking us through the key details we needed to consider when developing a budget. He was very detailed.
"We’ve known Jethro for several years now and wouldn’t think of using any other realtor. We’ve used his real estate services to buy and sell, and both times he’s exceeded our expectations.
We felt that Jethro always looked out for our best interests. When we wanted to present an offer on a few houses, he quickly made sure to come with us to see them, and promptly researched and advised us accordingly. On two occasions his sound knowledge guided us against making a poor decision on a hasty purchase. Jethro’s ability to build and maintain a strong relationship with us meant he was consistently accessible and would respond to our calls or emails any time of day, evening, weekend or night. He has a vast knowledge of the market for both buying and selling, and provided us guidance based on research and data that he willingly presented to us.
Jethro was also incredibly attentive to our needs. When we were looking to buy, we would often find properties online and would call him up to arrange a showing. He was always accommodating to our schedules, even at 9 o’clock at night, he would make himself available and ensured the process was as easy as possible.
"Just a note of sincere thanks for the amazing and thoroughly professional job you did in facilitating the sale of our house recently.
It was indeed amazing due to the tremendous amount of work you did behind the scenes before and during what was a complex process of preparation and execution. From the research background, consultations with me and the other members of your team, the development of sales materials, and legal preparations to the professional implementation of a well thought out plan and sensitivity to my concerns, I was nothing but impressed from start to successful finish with the resources you brought to bear. It was a pleasure to work with you to get the job done and I appreciated the involvement. You are also to be congratulated in the handling of some unique challenges that needed to be met in this project. Truly impressive and much appreciated. A little more than just sticking a sign on the lawn.
When it came time to sell my two new homes in the Sherwood Park area, a good friend of mine said Jethro could help! He just sold his Davisville Village home after carrying out extensive research and interviews with leading Realtors in the Davisville Village / Midtown area. He found Jethro to be the best candidate, was very happy with the sale of his home, and insisted that I consider his services as well.
It was important to me for a Realtor to come not only highly recommended (as in this case), but also to be a neighbourhood expert and able to create maximum exposure to both local residents and those of the wider Greater Toronto Area.
"From his calm patient hand holding as one experiences home buying 101 through to informed support with the move in and then following up with his entertaining presence at the housewarming party, nobody can reassure you better.
Not stopping there he’ll continue with helpful monthly updates and is always available to lend an ear or more. Almost anyone can find you a house

“Having been interested in selling our condo for a while, we went to an open house in our building and had the pleasure of meeting Jethro. We found him to be very professional, well established and knowledgeable. When we were ready to purchase a new condo he worked very hard to find us the perfect home and was truly proactive and results oriented.
We scooped up a new listing within hours of it hitting the market thanks to his keen eye and understanding of our needs. When we were ready to list our home, Jethro’s guidance and market knowledge helped us sell our condo within one week, over the asking price!
We could not be happier with Jethro, his services and most of all, his results.”
"My sister introduced me to Jethro, and I could not be happier! He really took the time to listen to my needs and my requests.
I found Jethro to be very accessible; always prompt with communication. I am happy to recommend Jethro and his services to my friends and family."
“We were new to Toronto and didn’t know much about the area when we met Jethro at an open house. After talking with him, we found him to be very informative about the many great neighbourhoods this city has to offer.
Throughout the experience of looking for our new home Jethro was always an impeccable, high energy professional. One of his greatest assets is his market knowledge. Jethro showed us many neighbourhoods and supplied us with thorough information as well as materials to look over. We always felt confident that Jethro was looking out for our best interests, he was focused on the big picture and advised us throughout the process of purchasing our home.
We will always appreciate Jethro’s professionalism and would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgable real estate professional.”

As rental residents of the Toronto Midtown area, my wife and I decided to start looking for a home we could purchase. We knew where we wanted to live and were going to opened houses ourselves and speaking with many agents. It soon became apparent that we needed to narrow down on a real-estate agent that we could work with. Jethro came highly recommended by my cousin who was using Jethro to find a place for him.
During our first conversation with Jethro we immediately noticed that we “clicked”; he was organized, knowledgeable and very professional. Both my wife and I had a comforting and positive feeling that working with Jethro on the purchase of our home was going to be a good experience.
Jethro managed the operation of buying our new home with vigour. He asked key questions, listened to us, always remained rational and was confident throughout the whole process.
As our confidence in Jethro grew, we asked him if he would consider selling one of our other properties. Even though it wasn’t in his city of expertise, he was thorough in his research of area comparables and speaking to local agents. Jethro knew what we wanted from the sale and delivered.
As exciting as it could get, my wife and I signed the paperwork to close the deal on the sale of one property within a few hours of signing the paperwork to buy our new home. Jethro’s experience, knowledge and personality made the whole experience buying and selling real-estate very easy and enjoyable.
Without hesitation I would recommend Jethro’s services. It can be tough to close deals between two parties and keep everyone happy but this is what Jethro does best. He will get the job done the way you want. “Jethro is a closer!”
"Jethro brought the perfect mix of professionalism, knowledge and fun to our home buying experience. His knowledge of home construction and the greater market made us very comfortable when we were ultimately ready to buy.
He was an advocate for what was best for us and was patient in helping us get there. I would recommend him to an experienced buyer as well as the first-timers out there."
"Selling a home can be a stressful process at the best of times, however under the leadership of Jethro Seymour of Royal LePage / J&D we had such confidence in their marketing plan, area knowledge and ability to deliver, our stress level and that of our families was reduced significantly.
He brought a comprehensive team of professionals who prepared our home to show its best! He prepared beautiful and informative marketing materials and made sure that every possible avenue for distribution of the information
(print and online) was covered.
In the end, the entire process exceeded our expectations. Jethro took care of every detail, from preparing our home for sale to their skillful negotiations for a most favourable outcome. If you are considering selling your home, we highly recommend you meet with Jethro."
"We were quite emotional the day the new owners took possession of our home, sad to leave it and Toronto in general. Jethro was so supportive.
In the pouring rain, he put our final suitcases in his car, drove us to the hotel where we were staying, and even offered to drive us anywhere we needed to go while in T.O. that weekend. He also brought us a very very nice bottle of bubbly our last night in the condo.
Honestly, I’ve never met anyone like him and this was our 5th home to sell in Ontario/Quebec. No other Real Estate Agent came close to measuring up to his standards. Without hesitation, we give Jethro the highest recommendation and hope he wins an employee award, as we’re confident he’s like this with all his clients."
"We first encountered Jethro at an open house when we were looking for a home appropriate for our daughter.
He was polite, helpful, knowledgeable and good humoured.
To sell our investment property, we interviewed and chose to hire him to sell our tenanted Yonge & Eglinton condo. He is easy going yet efficient and clearly on top of the entire sales, listing and negotiation process.
He ensured that all our interests were protected and negotiated diligently on our behalf. We felt very well represented through the process.
He also exercised discretion with our tenants and was able to sell our condo in a very short time. Thanks for all your hard work Jethro!"
Sharon Kadis, Thrilled Yonge and Eglinton Condo Seller
"As first time buyers, we grew tired of working with agents who did not seem to understand our needs. Our mortgage broker spoke highly of Jethro and recommended his services to us.
We were looking for a home for about two months. It was great to have such a knowledgable agent working with us. He showed us a variety of homes in many of Toronto’s great neighbourhoods.
Jethro even accommodated our schedule and would take us out to look a homes last minute.
Jethro is professional and responsive. He acts quickly when listings are time sensitive and is extremely organized. He tracks the homes you have seen and their final selling price. This added service helped give us a great perspective of the market.
When we found our home, he secured the deal within four hours and guided us every step of the way.
Thank you Jethro!"
"My wife and I were looking for our next home when we met Jethro at an open house. We were eagerly awaiting our first baby and were tired of trying to find our perfect family home by ourselves.
We took an instant liking to Jethro and were keen on working with him. We found Jethro to be very knowledgeable, friendly, and organized. Things we look for in a realtor.
We are very pleased with Jethro’s services and can not wait to recommend him to our friends and family."

“Being as involved in the community as he is, Jethro had a table at the Maurice Cody spring fair. When we met he was friendly & professional and offered us a tomato plant as well as a chance to win a dinner at Simple Bistro (which we did!).
We decided to use his services a year later when we wanted to sell our condo. Even though it had been a while, Jethro remembered specific details from our conversation at the fair and what our needs were.
During our first discussion we were impressed with his marketing analysis and the way it was presented to us. Throughout the process Jethro was very patient despite the fact that our personal goals, needs and location for a future home kept changing!
Always professional and attentive, at each of our meetings he was consistently prepared and showed incredible knowledge of the housing market in the midtown area. During the offer night Jethro was nothing but confident and SUCCESSFUL in dealing with prospective buyers' agents.
He exceed our expectations and we were very satisfied with our outcome. We have already recommended Jethro’s services to our friends because we know they will have a great experience just like we did.”
"My husband and I first met Jethro at an open house in Davisville Village.
We were planning to move but were unsure of how to go about it. Initially we had entertained the idea of trying to sell our home ourselves. We thought it would be helpful to interview several neighbourhood specialists who understood the market.
We first interviewed Jethro in the fall. We liked that he wasn’t pushy with us. When we mentioned that we might sell the house ourselves, he educated us on both the pros and cons of each approach. Throughout that meeting we realized just how much was involved and how incredibly organized and thorough he was. We decided that when the time came to sell it was clearly worth having Jethro sell our home to best represent our interests.
We met again in the spring. The market had changed and Jethro was right on the pulse of it. His attention to detail and deadlines were steadfast throughout the entire process. We were very happy with Jethro’s network of professionals. He covered every aspect of the marketing and sales process with great attention to detail.
With Jethro as our Realtor, we could focus on preparing our family for the move. We knew our home was in good hands and that he would guide us through the process seamlessly. Jethro continues to be helpful, even after the sale.
We’ve told our friends who are thinking about moving that they’ve got to use Jethro’s services!"
“Leaside has always been home. When I needed more space I contacted Jethro to assist me to find a larger home and lease my existing house. Looking for an agent that understood the importance of staying in my neighbourhood was a priority.
Jethro had put together a book with a comprehensive home and neighbourhood analysis. I was very impressed. I’ve never seen another real estate agent do that. He summarized all the relevant knowledge for me.
The entire experience working with Jethro has been extremely positive. It was a short process but it was absolutely enjoyable. We saw only a few houses before I found the one that I wanted.
Jethro took care of the rest for me in a snap.
Jethro is definitely on the ball. He is quick and was responsive to my needs which I really appreciated.
Absolutely I would say Jethro is an agent you want working with you."

"We first met Jethro through a recommendation from a friend. As first time homebuyers, we relied on Jethro's expertise to guide us through our search and eventual home buying experience.
Within a month of meeting Jethro, we hunted for condos several times and closed a deal in what we think is record-breaking time. Jethro provided us with a very relaxed atmosphere during our search, pointing us in the right direction, and giving us very useful information along the way. When the right condo eventually did come along, and we learned that there was more than one offer on the table, Jethro's ability to adapt to the situation and negotiate a deal for us far exceeded our expectations.
Jethro was very responsive during the entire home buying experience, giving prompt answers to our questions and always providing insight to properties available. We are very happy with the services we received and will recommend Jethro to all of our friends.”

"After 63 years in Davisville Village it was time for me to move. I have been receiving Jethro’s newsletter and notepads for years so when it was time to sell my home, he was one of the realtors
I called.
Immediately, I felt comfortable with Jethro and had faith that he would take care of me and my home.
Selling quickly & quietly was very important to me. I also didn’t want a for sale sign on my lawn, listing on the MLS or a lot of traffic through my home.
Jethro met my needs with a wonderful solution. Through his contacts of renovators, builders, agents and brokers he was able to sell my house in 3 days with minimal impact to my daily life. He structured the agreement to allow for the flexibility I needed for my next move.
I am so thankful to Jethro and would highly recommend him to anyone living in the midtown area."
"We met Jethro while looking for our a Yonge & Eglinton Condo several years ago. His genuine, professional manner and savvy market knowledge left an impression on us.
Recently, we needed to find a home that could accommodate our growing family. We knew Jethro was the agent for the Job. He listened to our needs, looked out for our best interests and delivered what we wanted!
We were very impressed with the information he provided on homes, schools and the general area in the neighbourhood we were looking at.
Jethro was efficient, sincere and used his exceptional understanding of the market to find us our dream home in a matter of weeks.
When it was time to sell our condo we sought Jethro’s advice and services.
I would recommend Jethro to anyone who wants a dedicated professional to help them buy or sell their home. He is not only an agent but has become a friend too. Jethro goes the extra mile!"

“As a first time home buyer I had no knowledge of how to go about this process so I put my trust in Jethro.
After telling Jethro our preferences for a home he showed us a variety of places and allowed us to make our own decisions while providing helpful advice that spoke specifically to our needs.
Jethro remained determined to finding us our perfect home and never lost patience, working with us while we took our time realizing our specific requirements. He always greeted us with a smiling face and calm demeanor, assuring us that the right place would soon be found.
When we were ready to make an offer he worked his magic and was able to close the deal in less than 24 hours!
I would recommend Jethro as a reliable and knowledgeable Real Estate Agent, and I would use his services again.”
“We were trying to lease our investment property for a while with other agents. It sat on the market for over 3 months without much attention. A good friend recommended Jethro so we decided to meet with him and get some professional advice.
During our first meeting Jethro shared his wisdom and detailed the specifics about how he intended to market our condo. He presented a very professional strategy that made us feel confident in his ability to attract quality interest.
Once we listed, Jethro was always there for us and gave great input, advise and feedback. He consulted on everything from tips on preparing the condo for market to advice on narrowing down the best type of tenant.
Keeping us focused on the bigger picture instead of short term satisfaction, Jethro has an incredible knowledge of the current market conditions and we used that knowledge to our benefit.
This time our condo was on the market for only 10 days thanks to Jethro’s expertise. We secured wonderful tenants in a short period of time. Jethro did everything we wanted and exceeded our expectations. He is truly results oriented.
We were thrilled to have Jethro looking out for us throughout the process and will continue to recommend his services.”
