A True Story: Why Choose a Realtor Who is Also a Handyman?

You have a realtor, who is also a handyman. Would you choose him again to buy and sell in the future?

I started by drilling holes and using my jig saw to cut out both ends of the rotten parts of the deck boards. Once the bad sections were removed, I measured and installed new pressure-treated wood boards in their place.

I’m Richard Wang, a Toronto realtor and also a handyman. Recently, one of my clients went away on a trip, leaving their tenant in the house. The tenant mentioned that part of the backyard deck was unsafe. Five deck boards were broken and needed replacement.

Instead of waiting for a contractor, I brought my own tools and fixed the problem. I replaced all five boards, making the deck safe and comfortable again for the tenant. My client didn’t have to worry, and everything was taken care of before they came back.

I made sure everything was level, secured with proper screws, and safe for the tenant to use right away. In total, I replaced five boards, and the deck looked strong and clean again.

This story shows what I believe real estate is all about — more than just buying and selling homes. It’s about trust, relationships, and taking care of details that matter.

Being a handyman allows me to spot potential issues, give practical advice, and sometimes even fix small things myself to help clients right away.
