About

Chris Ouzas, Broker.

Chris runs the Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville side of the Michael Ouzas Real Estate Team at Royal LePage Signature Realty. He has been selling homes out here for more than fifteen years, and his son Michael runs the Toronto side of the same team.

Who Chris is

Chris got into real estate more than fifteen years ago and has been selling in Hamilton and the communities around it ever since. He is not a flashy agent. He prices from what has sold, he tells you what he thinks of a house even when you are excited about it, and he returns his calls. Most of his business comes from people he has already worked with, and from their kids.

He is licensed with Royal LePage Signature Realty and belongs to both the Toronto and Hamilton real estate boards, which matters more than it sounds. A lot of the people buying in Hamilton right now are coming from Toronto, and a lot of the people selling are heading back that way. Chris and Michael handle those moves together, one on each end, so the sale and the purchase line up and nothing falls between the cracks.

Where the numbers come from

The Hamilton and Burlington numbers on this site come straight from the Hamilton board's monthly releases, and the Oakville numbers from the Toronto board's Market Watch. Chris updates them every month when the new report lands, and every page says where its figures came from.

The areas Chris covers

In Hamilton, Chris works the lower city pockets of Durand, Kirkendall, Locke Street, Westdale, Delta West, Aberdeen, and Corktown, the Mountain including the West Mountain, and the communities around the city: Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Binbrook, and Glanbrook. Each one has its own neighbourhood guide, and most have a school guide to go with it. He covers Burlington and Oakville the same way.

How Chris works with clients

Sellers

Chris prices your home from what has sold on your street, not from what the neighbours are asking. He gets it staged, photographed, and filmed properly, and puts it in front of every buyer he can reach on MLS, social media, and email. While it is on the market you get a written update from him every week: who came through, what they said, and whether anything should change.

Buyers

Chris starts by listening to what you need and when you have to be moved. From there he builds a short list of areas and price ranges, books the showings, including homes that have not hit MLS yet, and tells you when a house is not the right one, even if you have already fallen for the kitchen.

Investors and relocations

More and more of Chris's clients are Toronto people, either buying an investment property out here or moving the whole family. He handles both, and when there is a Toronto sale on the other end, Michael takes care of it.

Working with Michael in Toronto

Michael Ouzas, Chris's son, runs the team's Toronto business out of the same brokerage. If your move involves Toronto in either direction, start at michaelouzas.com and the two of them will sort out who does what.
