Long bio · 200 wordsPeter Torkan immigrated to Canada from Iran in 1994 at the age of nineteen with no English and no money. After a decade of pizza delivery, door to door sales and retail, he obtained his real estate licence in 2006. His first transaction came from a handwritten note in a mailbox. In his second year he walked into the One Bloor condo launch and sold thirty three units in the opening months. Today Peter is one of Canada's most recognized luxury real estate professionals. He co founded The Agency Toronto in 2020 with his wife and business partner Paige Torkan, who serves as Broker of Record. The office has grown to more than eighty agents. Since 2024 he has starred in Amazon Prime's Luxe Listings Toronto. In 2024 he published The Inner Contract, a book on identity, self agreement and the private decisions behind public outcomes. In June 2026 he launched HouseMe.ai, a conversational AI platform built specifically for real estate. Based in Toronto, representing buyers and sellers from two million to fifty million dollars.
