Sale of mansion for charity donation
A Toronto charity will be up $50,000 if a million-dollar mansion in Thornhill sells before Christmas Day.
Toronto real estate salesperson Jim Common has pledged to make the donation, out of his sales commission, to the CHUMCity Christmas Wish foundation if the house, at 34 Idleswift Dr. sells by Dec. 25. It's the third year he has made the pledge; both previous houses sold by the deadline.
"Christmas is for kids," Mr. Common said, "and I want to make as many Christmas wishes come true this year for Toronto's less fortunate children."
Mr. Common on, an 11-year veteran of the real estate world, also pledges to donate 1 per cent of his commissions to charity on every house he sells between now and Christmas Eve. It's all an effort to help charity and promote his business, he says.
Last year he beat his deadline on a $1.34-million home and the year before, he was successful with a $3-million mansion.
This year's home is a new, Tyndall stone 4,000-square-foot structure with rock gardens and flower beds.
