Local presence : Downtown Core
Why this reference : Highest individual real-estate-only practice in the downtown core: Google 5.0/223 (full 35/35). Firm site states it is located in the heart of Downtown Toronto and practises exclusively real estate, anchoring the sector (15/15). Experience assigned at a conservative 10–14yr floor pending LSO call-to-bar confirmation; even at floor it clears GREEN. Licence presumed active (LSO) — owner to verify.
Why 86/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Alexander Hu: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
