Catherine Himelfarb-Borden

In 2013, following a nearly 20-year career as a luxury realtor, Catherine Himelfarb-Borden, together with her children Rebecca and Rich, opened the Yorkville Branch of the company her mother, Ronni Fingold founded in 1985. Now in their eighth year of operation, they have been able to cultivate, nurture and grow their office beyond their wildest dreams. As the Managing Partner of Forest Hill Real Estate Yorkville, Catherine has strived to establish new standards of success while building a real estate business based on a foundation of communication, technology and teamwork. Forest Hill Real Estate Yorkville’s success has resulted in them holding a substantial share of the luxury market in Forest Hill and Yorkville and throughout Toronto. It has also established this boutique office as a significant force in both the resale and luxury new construction spheres. By encouraging collaboration, and a culture of inclusivity and sharing, Forest Hill Yorkville has created a cutting-edge concierge brokerage model, using coaching and support as the touch points of their business model. Catherine and the Forest Hill Yorkville realtors strive to create stress-free, professional and life-changing client experiences in buying and selling homes. Since its inception, Forest Hill Real Estate YORKVILLE has sold $4.5 billion worth of residential, commercial and new construction. In addition, Forest Hill Real Estate Brokerage has continually ranked ninth in Brand Performance in Listing and Selling on the Toronto Real Estate Board. This is further testament to Forest Hill's leadership status in the Toronto luxury real estate space. Catherine and her agents have always put their heart and soul into the charities the Forest Hill Yorkville office supports. These charities include SickKids Foundation, Save a Child’s Heart, Princess Margaret Hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital, Out of The Cold Shelter Systems, The LivWise Foundation and Daily Bread Food Bank, to name a few. More than anything else, Catherine takes enormous pride in what her agents have accomplished as leaders in the industry, while nurturing long-lasting friendships with clients and colleagues alike.
