Shirley Steele
Property Manager
In my life before full-time property management, I was a full-time elementary school teacher, managing investment properties on the side with my husband, Howard Buckley. Prior to 2014, I managed and inspired the creative minds of four to nine-year-olds for over a decade, while co-managing and proudly representing a handful of residential rental properties around Toronto.
With the support of my family and friends, I made the jump into full-time property management almost 10 years ago and haven't looked back. Over two and a half decades, I have honed the essential skill of multi-task management; one of many skills I bring to the table as a property manager. From keeping on top of the endless array of responsibilities as a school teacher to managing our Toronto rental property investments, while also being a Mom and a wife, I have proven myself capable of successfully handling an assortment of tasks that come my way, both expected and unexpected.
I take great pride in my role as property manager and co-owner of Bridgeway Property Management, and that's evident in the positive relationships I've established with tenants, the trusting partnerships I've built with property owners and tradespeople, and the great deal of TLC I put into everything I do. I'm excited to offer my experience and services to property investors across Toronto who aspire to a high level of management.
Howard Buckley
Accounting Manager
Born and raised in Toronto, I know this city like the back of my hand and love all it has to offer. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in mechanical engineering, I purchased my first investment property, a student rooming house in Guelph, Ontario. This was the beginning of my journey into the world of real estate investment and property management.
Since then, I joined forces with my business partner, life companion and wife, Shirley Steele. Together we have successfully purchased, sold, owned, and operated various residential investment properties, in addition to undertaking many real estate projects, from major renovations to a complete condo conversion project.
I later went on to complete my Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Toronto, but my passion for Toronto real estate investment and management has remained strong. Coming from a scientific and mathematical background makes me perfectly suited to the roles at Bridgeway of accounting manager and book keeper extraordinaire.
Daniel Almeida
Maintenance Manager
With over ten year’s experience in Logistics, I felt the need to pursue another passion of mine related to Property Management. As a previous tenant and now current landlord, I know firsthand how it feels to be on both sides, this has allowed me to improve and provide a better experience for Bridgeway's tenants. After renovating my home's basement unit, it really gave me a better understanding of each trade skill and overseeing this project has helped me identify and quickly repair any maintenance issues.
It brings me great joy being the Maintenance Coordinator and Property Inspector at Bridgeway Property Management, where I am able to use my past experiences and apply them to help property owner clients and tenants navigate through maintenance and repairs. I love problem-solving so I believe this passion will help me identify and others identify when issues arise. I look forward to providing you with the best experience possible and building a long-term relationship.
Keegan Gallant
Leasing Agent
I was born in Toronto and raised in St. Catharines before returning in 2015 to complete my Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at the University of Toronto. I have been living in the city for over 6 years now and have loved every moment of it. Since the completion of my degree, I have been working as a personal trainer, gaining valuable experience helping clients reach their goals and potential. When the opportunity arose to work as a leasing agent with Bridgeway Property Management, I thought it would be a perfect role for me to apply my service skills in a new and exciting setting.
As a previous tenant in multiple properties, I have realized the importance of having an excellent property management team. This, along with my experience as a personal trainer, has provided me with the tools to assist our tenants and homeowners through a seamless leasing process.
Nada Ghamraoui
Property Inspections Specialist
I grew up in Montreal, but seven years ago, I took a leap of faith and moved to Toronto. There, I became a flight attendant and began traveling the world. Exploring different places and cultures taught me to keep an open mind and never judge a book by its cover. I value authenticity and respect people from all backgrounds.
With over 20 years of customer service experience, communication and reliability are my strengths. I'm passionate, detail-oriented, and focused on building strong relationships. Becoming a mother was life-changing for me. My toddler taught me patience and to trust the process. I used to be impatient, but now I'm more grounded, while still being ambitious.
As an inspection specialist, I use my urban planning expertise and customer service skills to ensure properties are thoroughly checked. At Bridgeway Property Management, my leadership and teamwork help keep properties well-maintained, compliant, and ready for our tenants.

Out of three property managers I set up to interview, Shirley was the first and I cancelled the other two interviews. Shirley is very reliable and dependable and we are lucky to have her as our property manager!Sondra P
I lived in one of their properties for a couple of years and I only left because I moved out of province. Otherwise I would have stayed for a long time. Property was always clean and well-cared for and service requests were responded to promptly. Friendly property managers that I always felt comfortable contacting. Best place I lived during my 15 years in Toronto. I always recommend to friends who are apartment hunting.Meghan Yuri Young
I rented from one of Bridgeway's properties back in 2015-16 and not only loved the space, but also our point-of-contact, Shirley. Understanding, quick to respond and efficient, it was a pleasant experience from beginning to end.Nicolas Quintana Da Silva
Quite frankly, Shirley provides an outstanding service and she is just the kind of landlord everybody wants, or dreams of having! Always very helpful and really customer-centric, which is not common in the Toronto rental market!Hilary Rounthwaite Eastwood

Bridgeway has been handling my rental in Brampton for the last two years. They did a fantastic job on the screening and interviews of potential tenants, and found me one that has given me no problems at all. Bridgeway comes highly recommended from this happy property owner.Dawn Nearing
Shirley and Howard are wonderful landlords. My partner and I had the pleasure of living in one of their units for a little over a year. They are definitely willing to go above and beyond. When our apartment flooded and we were out of the unit for a month, we returned to find out that they had watered our plants! When I was 8 months pregnant and the hot water in our bathroom stopped working, the offered me use of their shower. The unit was well maintained. They responded quickly. They are kind, fair and professional. If we hadn't needed extra space for our growing family, we'd still be living there.Omar Hasanain
Excellent Service!!! Shirley @bridgeway has made the process of moving really easy. I liked the portal which helps me stay organized and keeps all documents, notifications and communication transparent and available at all times. Prompt and Professional, I highly recommend Bridgeway for anyone looking for a place in Toronto... Thank you Shirley and Thank you Bridgeway!Henrieta
It has been a 180° turnover here at 197 Park Lawn since Bridgeway Property Management took over. There were lots of issues to deal with and I cannot be more pleased with a manager like Shirley Steele to handle everything so well and getting things done! It has been finally enjoyable to live here and I feel my needs as a tenant are being met. I have said it many times and I say it again - Thank you Shirley! 🙂Bryan Cheung
Shirley and Howard provided excellent service. Shirley is attentive. She can spot many minor problems and take care of them. As a landlord, you feel worthy to pay each your dollars to enjoy their services.Ainsley McGregor
I have so far had an excellent experience with Bridgeway and especially Shirley. Everything is very professional but, at the same time, very personal, attentive, and accommodating. The minor concerns that I have had with my condo were addressed immediately and Shirley has taken considerable time to find solutions.Travis Walker
We have had a tremendous experience renting with Bridgeway Property Management over the last year and a half. They are always responsive and quick to address any issues, questions or concerns we have had. Compared to other landlords we have dealt with in Toronto, their customer service, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile for their tenants is second to none. Would highly recommend to anyone.Dawn Fisher
Bridgeway property management has been our best landlord experience yet. Shirley always responds promptly to any concerns and is very communicative during the process, making sure everyone is happy with the results.Amy C. Willis
I have resided in a rental unit of Shirley Steele and Howard Buckley (Bridgeway Property Management Inc.) for more than 4 years and I can easily state that it has been my best rental experience to date. From the day I first viewed the unit, I was taken aback by how clean and well-kept it was; this care and maintenance also extended to the entire property, inside and out, which I greatly appreciate. Shirley and Howard are responsive and timely with all communications and are more than happy to fulfill any requests I may have, whether it's to store something in their shed space or to tend to small fix-up jobs in the unit I occupy. They are courteous, respectful and friendly and easily go above and beyond their roles as property managers. I wholeheartedly endorse them in this role and would recommend their rental properties to anyone.Shums J
This past year, I branched out from living at home with my parents to living on my own in a rental unit managed by Bridgeway PM. Bridgeway made the process of paying my rent easy with etransfer. I had quick, easy and thorough communication with property manager Shirley Steele and other representatives at Bridgeway. The entire process was smooth and easy. I would rent with Bridgeway again.Romulo Velasquez
Shirley and Howard have been my landlords for the past 6 years and I have nothing but good things to say about them. I never felt like I had to fight for things to get fixed. They are very responsive to any complaints/issues and quickly address them. They are incredibly understanding and are always willing to help. One really great example of this was when we had issues with neighbours using our backyard as a shortcut to access their property. In response Shirley and Howard put up a fence around the property to prevent neighbours from crossing through the backyard that we had full access to. Another example was when the water heater tank broke. Shirley and Howard had the issue fixed within 24H. I can't recommend Bridgeway Property Management enough. You can't go wrong with such friendly and professional service.Charlotte Lofranco
I had a great experience with the process of getting my new apartment. Shirley is delightful and attentive to details, professional but also warm and friendly. Very happy with Bridgeway Property Management's services.Feargus Ahern
All good experiences with Bridgeway Property Management . Got a door changed on our rented property. Shirley was extremely helpful and informative throughout the whole process. They are very Professional and easy to work with.Arthur Labbancz
I have known Shirley and Howard for over ten years and have had the pleasure of working with them on several occasions. The pride they show in their work is evident in the high level of upkeep in the properties they manage and the fact that their tenants never want to leave! I would highly recommend Bridgeway to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and efficient property manager for their rental property.William Komar
I am very happy with the care and support Bridgeway provides to my tenants. Howard, Shirley and their team provide caring, responsive and diligent service to ensure that issues are dealt with quickly and satisfactorily, much more so than I could ever provide myself, having work and family obligations to handle as well. Their use of an online accounting system lets me see any bills that have come up and makes it easy at tax time to consolidate. They provide detailed annual inspections that let me know of any issues that do or may need attention. Tenants that they have found for me were well vetted and has been top notch. And the feedback from my tenants is very positive.Victoria Maria
I am so glad that my apartment is managed by Bridgeway Property. When I met with Shirley to view the space, her warmth, professionalism, and transparency were huge deciding factors for me. They deal with any issues I may have in a timely fashion and being able to communicate through the tenant portal is convenient and efficient. I highly recommend Bridgeway Property Management!Christina Lee
I worked with Shirley as a first-time landlord and had a great experience! She is thorough and responsive- in both her communication and in locating and screening tenants. Not only did she get the job done well and professionally, but she also has a warm and caring sensibility. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her.Emma Cordner
It was wonderful having Shirley and Howard from Bridgeway Property Management as landlords and property managers. I resided in one of their properties in the Cabbagetown area for about 4 years and they were always great to deal with. If there was ever any issues with the property, which is known to happen occasionally in a Victorian home, the property mangers were always quick to respond and fix any issues immediately. There was always great lines of communication open and willingness to upgrade certain areas of the property. It was a pleasure having them as my landlords and property managers.Malar
I had narrowed down to 3 property management companies and finally Shirley’s patience in answering all my questions without hesitancy made me go with the company. I felt she took her job very seriously and gave real honest answers as opposed to what I want to hear. My prior tenant left just after Christmas and in short period of time Shirley’s team cleaned up the place and did any necessary repairs and found a good tenant within 2 weeks. Shirley also took the time to listen to the kind of tenant I preferably want and any concern I had she was able to answer it all .Everything was done very professionally. She gave me confidence if something does go wrong she will be there to work to find a solution together. I liked that approach . Thank you to Shirley and the Team.Tara Peters
Bridgeway Property Management Inc are the best. They are always quick to address any issue that may arise and genuinely care about their tenants. The lines of communication are always open as they pay great attention to detail and are very diligent in all aspects of property maintenance. Bridgeway Property Management Inc are the most professional and courteous property management company I have ever had. I have no hesitation in recommending them, as being a tenant under their services has truly been an excellent experience.Mark Stoute
Bridgeway Property Management is a cut above other property management companies. From my experience with Bridgeway, I see that they understand the complex, laws regulating rental accommodations and act diligently and promptly. I'd recommend Bridgeway to any landlord who's unfamiliar with landlord and tenant law, especially for first-time landlords. The value Bridgeway provides is its knowledge of landlord rights and obligations and the convenience of dealing with tenants on your behalf, for a very reasonable rate. My clients' overall experience with Bridgeway has been very positive.Melissa Venkatesan
We absolutely love having Bridgeway Property Management as apart of our team. They have truly made it worry for free for us to rent out our previous residence in Toronto while living in another city. Shirley has made a great relationship with our tenant to ensure they are happy and the place is well looked after.Etye Steinberg
Moving into our new apartment, our experience with Bridgeway Property Management has been terrific. Shirley has been extremely accommodating and helpful, making sure our concerns are properly taken care of. The unit was thoroughly cleaned and painted (according to our preferences!) before we moved in, and everything gets quickly taken care of. Great experience.Jami Lynne Harper
As renters, we have had such a great and positive experience with Bridgeway Property Management. Shirley is very professional, caring, and always looks out for what is best for her renters and property owners. She is very quick to respond to any phone call or email and always addresses any questions or concerns we have in a timely fashion. We feel very welcomed into our new home and appreciate all that Shirley and Bridgeway have done for us. I would highly recommend their services to any property owner or renter.L B
As long-distance owners of an apartment in Toronto, we are so pleased with Bridgeway Property Management. They have been managing our property for two years and have made everything go extremely smoothly. They take fantastic care of our apartment--including finding tenants, dealing with leases and maintenance, and handling rent and other financials. Outstanding communication means we can always call or email and get a quick, thoughtful response. They are true professionals, and we would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone with a rental property. Thank you, Bridgeway!Artemy Matvienko
I had a great experience as a tenant with Bridgeway! They are very organized and embrace technology for rent payments and record keeping. Relevant tenant documents and payment records are conveniently available on their online portal. Communication is always clear, professional, and polite.Donna Jarosz
It was a pleasure to have Bridgeway Property Management take care of the unit where I lived. Shirley is an amazing person. There were many issues that occurred after she became our new property manager over a year ago, and they were dealt with promptly. She truly cares for her tenants and goes above and beyond to ensure their needs are met.Dylan Zamani
I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Bridgeway Property Management! Ali helped me a lot when I was first looking for a place and guided me throughout the process in a professional and organized manner. After signing my lease, I've been in communication with Shirley regarding any questions/requests with my new place, and she has been very friendly and professional whenever I reached out for anything. I also like how Bridgeway uses their own portal system, which keeps important lease documents and any notices organized and in one place. I would definitely recommend going with Bridgeway Property Management if you are looking for a place in Toronto!Pat W
It was a pleasant experience working with Bridgeway Property Management team and rented my condo unit out for over a year. I was well informed on the renting process and the condition of the unit. I highly recommend this team as it gave me a peace of mind.Denis Lemieux
My partner and I had the pleasure of communicating with Shirley during our apartment hunt. Throughout the entire process the Bridgeway team was very responsive and answered any additional questions/concerns we may have had. This team is very organized and professional; as new tenants in one of their properties we were able to move into our new place without any complications. I highly recommend using the Bridgeway team for any of their services!Nancy Vasconcelos
Bridgeway Property Management has been amazing to deal with. Shirley listens carefully, is always available when I need her. She has great suggestions on issues. She is resourceful and always communicates effectively and in a positive manner. She has provided me a stress free lifestyle that I can now enjoy. Something that another property management company I dealt with in the past was not able to provide. Shirley has a great work ethic. She makes sure the job gets done so that the landlord and tenant are equally content. I am so thankful I found Bridgeway Property.Amanda Maguhn
Having rented for a year and a half, I'm sad to be leaving. They are the most courteous, professional and well ran property management company I've ever had the pleasure of renting from. If you find a place managed by Bridgeway, rest easy, you're in good hands.Lisa Degras
I rented through Bridgeway Property Management for 8 years, they went above and beyond to insure I received things in a timely manor and communication with the home owner. A wonderful experience with the company. Shirley was always a pleasure to deal with and very professional. A quality work ethic and great customer service. A definite 5 Star !!Petek Berksoy
We had the pleasure of renting a property in Toronto, for 3.5 years, managed by Bridgeway Property Management. Shirley and her team were very considerate, helpful, prompt and professional. They managed our communications with the property owners very well and tended to our needs as tenants without any delay. I would highly recommend them to property owners and to tenants and wish Bridgeway Property Management continued success with their business.Katia Hagen
Bridgeway were the property managers of the condo we were renting from 2019 until 2023. We really loved having them as our property managers and they were the perfect balance of being readily available and also leaving us..well, just live. Whenever there was any emergency they always responded quickly and it was so appreciated. They have such a great process that's easy to understand and follow and I really can't say enough great things! I would highly recommend Shirley, Howard and the bridgeway team to any home-owners looking for help managing their property or renter/tenants like me. 🙂Share Your Rental Property Needs with Us
