A place you can rely on - since 1983

The team behind,
your next chapter

More than 5,000 families across Durham Region have trusted us to guide one of the biggest decisions of their lives. We take that responsibility seriously — every time.

A Team Built Over Decades

Experience You Can Lean On - Your Pickering Real Estate Team

For over four decades, the Shiv Bansal Team has been one of Durham Region's most trusted names in real estate. Based in Pickering and serving families across Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and the Greater Toronto Area, our team brings a depth of local knowledge and transactional experience that simply cannot be rushed or replicated.

Our track record reflects that commitment. Since 2021, The Shiv Bansal Team has been the #1 REALTOR® in Pickering & Ajax. On top of that, we have been recognized as a Top 21 team in Canada for 39 consecutive years by production, and ranked #17 team in the world within the Century 21 network in 2025 — a distinction reserved for the top-performing teams across their entire international network.

What we're most proud of, though, isn't the awards. It's the clients who came back — and brought their children, and their children's friends. That kind of trust is what we work for, every single day.

True local knowledge

Durham Region Is More Than Our Market — It's Our Home.

There's a difference between knowing a market and truly understanding it. Our team has spent decades living, working, and raising families right here in Durham Region. We know the neighbourhoods, the price dynamics, the schools, and the community fabric — because we're part of it.

That local depth gives our clients a real edge. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, or selling a property you've lived in for years, you deserve guidance from people who know this market from the inside out — not from a dashboard.

We combine that neighbourhood-level insight with four decades of negotiation experience and a marketing approach refined over thousands of transactions. The result is an outcome you can feel confident about, in any market condition.

Our Core Values

What Guides Everything We Do

Honest Advice, Always

We tell you what you need to hear — not what you want to hear. From pricing to timing to negotiation, our guidance is rooted in real data and decades of experience. You'll never have to wonder where you stand.

Marketing That Moves Homes

Professional staging, photography, and a multi-channel strategy built over 40 years of learning what actually works in Durham Region. We don't list your home and wait — we actively pursue the right buyers.

With You Every Step

Real estate is rarely a straight line. We stay close — before, during, and long after the sale. Our clients come back generation after generation because they know we'll always pick up the phone.

Giving Back

Community Is Who We Are

For us, serving Durham Region has never been just a business decision. This is where we live, where we raise our families, and where we believe in investing — not just in property, but in people.

Shiv has served on the Board of Directors for the Ajax Pickering Hospital since 2016, and previously on the Rouge Valley Health System board. Our team spent 12 years as one of Ontario's top five fundraising teams for Easter Seals, and Shiv has personally matched donations dollar-for-dollar for both the Anishnawbe Health Foundation and the Ajax Pickering Hospital's Giving Tuesday campaigns — for over two decades.

When you work with the Shiv Bansal Team, you're working with people who are genuinely invested in this community. That accountability doesn't stop at the closing table.
