ProperTea Podcast
Katie Davis Bennett, a licenced real estate broker in Toronto is here to discuss the ins and outs of Real Estate in an attempt to debunk the lies, bust the myths, lay out the process, and prove once and for all that owning property isn’t just for your parents or that friend who started a tech company and sold it at 23. Find out how the proverbial sausage gets made as she covers everything: from the basics, like the difference between renting and buying and what a real estate agent actually does, to wtf a mortgage actually is, the process for first time home buyers, and how to deal with your evil landlord. We’ll have interviews with experts, Q&A sessions with our listeners, and lots of speculation about the tastefulness of people’s homes. Come find out the Proper-Tea!

Laneway Housing & The Missing Middle with Craig Rice
This week on ProperTea, Katie talks with Craig Rice from Laneway Housing about big changes in Toronto’s housing rules. As of May 2023, Toronto has made it possible to build up to four units on any residential property, instead of just one house. You can even add a garden or laneway suite! This means more options for people to find affordable housing in all kinds of neighbourhoods.
Katie and Craig talk about how this “missing middle” helps fill the gap between big apartment buildings and single houses, making the city more livable for everyone. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or interested in urban planning, this episode provides essential information to help you make informed decisions in light of Toronto’s shifting housing regulations. Tune in to learn how these changes might impact your neighbourhood and the city at large.
