Getting to know Jason Fata in ten questions:
1. What made you decide to get into real estate?
After graduating from University, there were a few staples in my life -HGTV and browsing Real Estate on a regular basis. I became addicted to different neighbourhoods and what they had to offer, trying to picture my life in each one of them. I vividly remember the feeling I had purchasing my first place and decided I wanted to be part of this same sense of joy for others. And with my affinity to real estate and desire to help people, it was a natural fit.
2. Where would we find you on a Friday night in Toronto?
Eating the absolute best pickles and sipping “dirty” vodka martini’s at Bar Fancy or enjoying the ever-changing menu at another of my favourite spots, 416 Snack Bar.
3. Most embarrassing real-estate moment:
Maybe not embarrassing but most awkward moment was showing a home in Forest Hill to one of my clients and trying to explain a note that said” Do Not Go In Bathroom, Cat Uses It”. And when I mean “uses it….I mean USES IT!”
4. Who stands out to you / do you most admire in the business world right now?

9. When you’re not wheeling + dealing real estate, what can we find you doing?
At the gym, on the golf course, in the kitchen, or out hanging with my dog Ben.
