Yes, there really is a Bonnie Byford!
Founded in a one-room office on Eglinton Avenue, it took only months
for Bonnie to move to the storefront location that would quickly become a thriving family business and an
"institution" on South Bayview.
For almost 30 years, residents young and old have stopped to peer into the infamous dollhouse and check the
"listings board" for local real estate news. The atmosphere of Bonnie Byford Real Estate has always been one of
comfort, emphasizing top quality service with a personal touch. Even Bonnie's office was designed to feel like home.
After only weeks in the new Bayview location, Bonnie's husband, Richard left his career as Project Manager with
a large commercial developer and joined his wife in Residential Real Estate. Once the Byford
Team got started,
there was no turning back.
Fast forward to 2007, the 30th Anniversary of Bonnie Byford Real Estate. Daughter; Susan Byford joined
the team as Sales Representative & Office Administrator. A bit of a technology junkie, Susan provides in-house
graphic and web design, so in this fast-paced era of computers and the Web, the company has a well established
online presence that remains consistent with their community spirit and personal touch.
With decades of experience assisting home buyers and sellers with what could be the most significant decisions
in their financial lifetimes, Bonnie Byford Real Estate remains "Committed to Excellence".
 Susan Byford, B.Sc., Broker
Susan was born and raised in Leaside -- attended Rolph Road School, Bessborough P.S. and Leaside High School. She also feels as if she was "born and raised in real estate"! Susan and her sister will tell you that they started in the business in their toddler years -- after all, while still in diapers they had already
attended offer presentations, listing presentations, showing appointments and visited
endless open houses.
Upon graduation from Leaside High School, Susan continued on to the University of Toronto. After earning her Bachelor of Science degree, Susan decided to help out with the family business. Starting off as the receptionist, it wasn't long before she completed her courses and became a licensed sales representative. Polishing her skills in the office, she recently acquired her Broker's license, and keeps everyone on their toes as the company's office administrator
and IT Manager.
Susan's personal interests are quite diverse. She is a self-proclaimed computer-geek, fluent in HTML
and CSS; Susan designed and maintains the Bonnie Byford Real Estate website. When she's not in front of her computer, you will probably find her as far away from technology as possible, galloping through the York Regional Forest on her Canadian Horse named "Mohican".
