Toronto loses real estate icon
SADIE MORANIS FRI, CMR
Sadie Moranis passed away peacefully in her 84th year on Thursday, May 21, 2009 in Toronto. She will be greatly missed by her son Stephen, her daughter-in-law Monica and her granddaughter Rebecca. Sadie's husband Jules and daughter Terry sadly predeceased her. Sadie will be forever remembered by her sister Betty Dale, her brother-in-law Harvey Dale, her niece Susan Dale (Jim Laing) and her nephew Lawry Dale (Elise Teitler). Sadie also leaves behind her sister-in-law Anne Moranis, her brother and her many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and cousins.
Sadie was an accomplished pianist having studied with Boris Berlin at the Royal Conservatory, an editor of the Varsity at University of Toronto and an accomplished athlete and sportswoman who loved tennis, badminton, boating and fishing. When Sadie started in real estate, she was a 37-year old homemaker, and seventeen years later she became the first woman president of the Toronto Real Estate Board, in its sixty-year history.
Today Prudential Sadie Moranis Realty is one of Canada's leading real estate companies. Driven to succeed she wanted to prove that given equal opportunities, a woman can accomplish as much as a man; she refused to let anything deter her from what she was capable of doing. And so, Sadie grew her company from a neighbourhood brokerage to one of Toronto's largest and most respected agencies.
Sadie's zeal for life in the face of surviving breast cancer in 1977 to her most recent health related issues can be best described when she acclaimed, 'When you think you have problems, remember that other people may have problems greater than yours'.
Our sincere sympathies are extended to the Moranis and Dale families.

When it comes to real estate, it's all about location. Despite reports of inflated real estate prices, there are many areas around the country where luxury remains affordable. In East Tennessee, for example, luxurious lakefront condominiums are both available and affordable. Imagine waking up to expansive views of both a gorgeous lake and the beautiful Smokey Mountains.
