Filipe & Isabel Ferreira — RE/MAX Ultimate Realty Inc., Brokerage

About Team Filipe

Filipe & Isabel Ferreira, REALTOR®, Broker

A husband-and-wife real estate team with 23+ years representing buyers, sellers, and investors across Hamilton and the broader GTA. Based at RE/MAX Ultimate Realty Inc., Brokerage on 1192 St Clair Ave W.

We take a small number of clients at a time so that every Hamilton transaction gets full senior-agent attention — from initial consultation through to keys-in-hand close. No junior hand-offs. No call centres.

A broker (versus a salesperson) has completed additional RECO licensing and is qualified to manage transactions, supervise other agents, and operate a brokerage. Filipe Ferreira holds his broker designation and applies a senior practitioner's lens to every Hamilton transaction — pricing strategy, contract structure, conditional clauses, and dispute avoidance.

Hamilton has transformed from a steel-town bedroom community into one of the most dynamic standalone real-estate markets in southern Ontario. The downtown core, Westdale (around McMaster), Stoney Creek, Ancaster, and Dundas each operate almost as independent sub-markets. Pricing remains a meaningful discount to the GTA, while inventory turnover, gentrification, and the GO Train build-out keep buyer demand strong.

Team Filipe has closed across the Mountain, downtown core, west-end (Westdale, Kirkendall), Stoney Creek, and Ancaster — including investor portfolio assembly in legal-duplex and triplex inventory.

Who we typically work with in Hamilton: Toronto-priced-out first-time buyers, McMaster-adjacent investors building rental portfolios, downsizers from Oakville and Burlington, and remote-first professionals wanting more square footage.

As your broker we handle valuation, negotiation strategy, inspection navigation, financing coordination, and post-closing follow-through. Our brokerage backing means full E&O coverage and the operational infrastructure of one of Canada's largest networks.

Live Hamilton Listings

Verified clients can view sold prices — the truest read on the Hamilton market. Showing 6 of 6 recent sales.

Sold data

Recently sold homes in Hamilton

List prices show seller intent. Sold prices show market reality. Verified clients can view sold prices for Hamilton comparables — the truest indicator of where the market actually is right now.

Why sold data matters: two near-identical homes on the same street can sell weeks apart for materially different prices depending on staging, marketing, offer-night strategy, and timing.

We use sold comparables for every CMA we write, and we'll walk you through them line by line on a buyer or seller consultation.

Hamilton Real Estate Broker — FAQ

What is the difference between a broker and a salesperson in Ontario?

+

Both are RECO-licensed real estate professionals, but the broker designation requires additional coursework and exams beyond the salesperson registration. Brokers can also manage other agents and run their own brokerage. From a client perspective, a broker brings a higher base level of regulatory and contract expertise to your transaction.

How do I choose a real estate broker in Hamilton?

+

Look at three things: years actually transacting in Hamilton (not just total years licensed), recent comparable transactions in your price band and property type, and the brokerage they're aligned with. RE/MAX Ultimate Realty is one of the largest single-office brokerages in Canada — that scale matters when you need market intelligence on what's actually closing in real time.

Does a broker charge more than a salesperson in Hamilton?

+

Commission structures are set by the listing agreement, not the licence designation. The broker designation is a credentialing benefit for clients, not a price premium. We'll walk through our exact commission structure in our first conversation.

Can a broker represent both the buyer and seller in Hamilton?

+

Multiple Representation is permitted in Ontario but requires informed written consent from both parties before the offer is presented. We disclose any potential dual-representation scenarios early and explain the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision before signing anything.

Is Hamilton still cheaper than Toronto in 2026?

+

Materially, yes. The Hamilton CMA average sale price has historically run roughly 35–45% below Toronto's, and that gap has held even through 2024–25 corrections in both markets. Hamilton remains the largest urban discount available within commuting distance of the GTA.

Where in Hamilton are home values rising fastest?

+

Westdale and Kirkendall (driven by McMaster and the West Hamilton GO buildout), Strathcona and Durand (downtown gentrification), and parts of Stoney Creek along the LRT/QEW corridor have all shown above-average appreciation. Investor demand for legal-duplex inventory in central Hamilton remains strong.

How long is the GO Train ride from Hamilton to Toronto?

+

West Harbour and Hamilton GO stations both connect into Union — peak express service runs roughly 60–75 minutes. The full Confederation/Hamilton GO expansion will further cut times this decade, which is part of why investors are positioning ahead of inventory rerating.

Are Hamilton legal duplexes a good investment?

+

For long-term investors, central-Hamilton legal-duplex (and the city's newer multiplex permission) inventory remains one of the best cash-flow plays in southern Ontario. We help clients underwrite each property — including ARV, achievable rents, financing structure, and exit options.
