Charles landed at the heart of Condoland when the new housing alternative of condo living was first introduced into Canadian law in the 1970’s remained a key figure in the condo business until retiring in 2020. For twenty five years Charles had been the top developer in house agent of residential condominiums in Toronto where he was nicknamed “the King Cobra of condo sales” and was said to “be able to sell you a condo if you had a bet that you wouldn’t buy one”.
Prior to entering the new arena of condos, he was a well known sales trainer, where he taught hundreds of straight commission sales people (mostly in life insurance sales), how to professionally sell, and after entering the newly introduced into law condo industry, applied his visionary and sales skills to designing and creating the first of its kind interactive multimedia (DOS) CD-ROM in 1990 well before there was an Internet, to sell Canada’s mass of failed condo projects when the market crashed in 1989, to nervous wealthy Chinese residents in Hong Kong who feared the 1997 reversion of the Colony to the Communist Chinese. Many well meaning friends and business associates politely warned him that “if he thought he could sell an apartment on a computer . . . he should get medical help“.
In 2000, having continually struggling with corrupt agents in Hong Kong consistently pre-occupied with stealing his clients instead of referring their clients, Charles introduced another new concept, Buyer Agency to Canada and skyrocketed to global stardom by simply repackaging his CD-ROM engine into Canada’s first and only Internet condo website www.simplycondos.com that immediately shot to over 40,000 “Hits” per day from investors around the globe. Builders having difficulty meeting their sales quotas would seek him out to achieve their construction financing.
His blog was the industry bible consistently generated over a million and a half readers a day until he retired in 2020.
Charles intended to write a “tell-all” insider’s perspective outlining the corruption and exploitation in Condoland entitled “Crisis in Condoland” but that project got pushed back due to experiences introduced when Charles and his wife/business partner of 33+ years retired and bought a new home at the lake in Oakville Ontario. As a result, Charles wrote “Justice Refused” and most recently “LTB Unfair, Unjust and Un-Canadian“, two extremely important e-books that are MUST READS for all Canadians.
Charles’ retirement quickly imploded, thanks to a corrupt lawyer/neighbour who in emails expressed her radical “hatred” of the concept condos (logical question here: “then why buy one?”) shown in Justice Refused pursuing the unethical and factually illogical agenda of “Dissolving the Condo Corporation” and much like Michael Corleone in The Godfather movie got “dragged him back in”.
Charles calls it like he sees it and tells it like it is, and now has accepted the David & Goliath-like challenge of taking on Ontario’s Landlord Tenant Board and Provincial Government, not because he doesn’t love and enjoy being retired but because no-one else was! The LTB has and still is literally ruining hundreds, if not thousands of honest, everyday Canadian landlords’ lives.
Charles’ latest vision is a second e-book in a series “LTB – Unfair, Unjust, Un-Canadian” can and is about the only hope for Canadians to save Canada from itself!. Take a look at what’s going on in America and understand that we have been copying them for far too long and we must not go down that rabbit hole after them.
These e-books are being made available exclusively at simplycharles.com FREE to read as the message is far more important than the money (anyone interest in getting involved please contact Charles). This challenge confronts these two Goliaths with the facts (with accompanying evidence) in a way that they cannot dispute and we believe that we can directly address all the sensitive surrounding issues once they have read this material.
LTB Unfair, Unjust and Un-Canadian is available FREE as the message is just so vital with the confidence that patriotic Canadians after reading this e-book will contribute as little as $20 (the value of education alone is worth 10x’s that) and all money going to establish a fund ($500,000.00) needed to get the job done.
Thank you in advance for reading these e-books and supporting this critically important cause. Financed adequately in this way is the ONLY way this will ever get done.
