We currently live out of country so it was very important for us to find the right fit for this situation. It can be very scary entrusting your home with people you don't know, but we feel very pleased with the tenants Matt helped us find and where we are at with our rental. From coaching us with prep before hitting the market, to managing the rental process, and even doing a mid-lease follow up to make sure everything was going well, we would totally recommend Matt and would definitely love to continue working with him! Also a big loving shout out to Brel themselves - Mel & Brendan - 2 incredible people!! Thank you for all the love, fun, & guidance over the years, we adore you both and wish you and your team nothing but the best!

We just sold our home through BREL and we could not have been happier!…read more We had some bad experiences in the past with agents when selling our previous homes, so we did a LOT of research to find the right agent to sell this one. After interviewing 4 agents, we went with Lisa Bednarski and BREL and we are so glad we did. Lisa's enthusiasm, positive attitude, and excitement at the challenge was a refreshing change. She was patient with us when we needed reassuring, and got us through all the steps to SOLD. In 3 days after listing! Kiel, the BREL stager did an amazing job making our home look like it was in a magazine! I recommend BREL for anyone buying, or selling. In this day and age, most real estate agents are like dinosaurs, but not BREL, they are showing the rest how it should be done in the digital age, and with all the marketing tools available, not just an MLS listing. Do your research and you will see why so many of BREL's clients are singing their praises... they are just that great. Thank you Lisa Bednarski, this Lisa is grateful we found you!

I'm naturally inclined not to write long reviews, but there is so much I can share about our…read moreawesome experience with Susi and team, I couldn't but let myself loose... Susi's knowledge of school ratings and the quality of surrounding communities/wards is second to none. Being a parent herself, she is able to tie back complex rating metrics to genuine concerns a parent typically has about schools/neighbourhoods. She was very empathetic in dealing with our emotional roller coaster while buying our house, yet she stepped up assertively when highlighting a potential pitfall in a house or within the process. Susi has surrounded herself with a network of qualified resources/professionals... Everyone who works for/with her knows by heart her bullet proof process and execute with military precision. When a colleague/friend from work introduced me to Susi, given my friend's over-zealousness, my sceptical hunch was that they must be friends... little did I know that few weeks later my wife and I will end up with a beautiful house and a sincere new friend. I wouldn't mind going again through the process of buying a house, since I'm sure Susi will have our backs!

I am happy to mark this as my 100th yelp review and super happy that it is going out to the best…read morereal estate agent ever. My Fiancee and i were in a long hunt for the perfect home (long because we wanted THE BEST and also in Toronto haha) and we were happy to have Susi be there every step of the way with us. As first time home owners we were new to the market (especially the Toronto market). We were eager and just wanted to get our foot into the door but also find that special first home. Prior to selecting our agent we had some long and grueling questions prepared for the candidates we wanted to select. Susi was great at meeting with us prior to our selection and was very helpful when meeting. She walked us through her experience, her strategies and the paperwork we would potentially see when purchasing our home. Susi was extremely friendly but will tell you things straight up. She is quick in responding to text messages/emails (sometimes even faster than my best friends/fiancee!) and she works above and beyond/ always accommodating our needs (working weekends, late nights, birthdays of her kids/husband (so sorry Susi!!)) Within the time span of 6 months, looking at 30+ homes, being very excited on one home that didn't fall through (on our part because we knew it wasn't the perfect home just yet..), we finally found the perfect home. Susi made the whole offer process very easy. She prepped us with her plan prior to going into the bidding war (bidding war of 6 other offers!) and she sold us to the sellers genuinely and perfectly. We closed our deal with great success and everything has been smooth sailing to the end of the whole process. During the period between the closing date, Susi was always there when we had questions and was always ontop of her game when we requested our visits. After we moved in, she also made sure everything was going smoothly and we were comfortable. Great person to reassure that this purchase was the one for us. Susi also offers free lock changes and home inspection(only on your first offer house- so make sure that house is the one!) She was also great with providing us boxes for our move! Susi will be our go-to real estate agent now and i am so happy to not only have made a great partner in the real estate market but also friend! We were very happy with the whole process and will 100% recommend her to others!

We have known Sam for more than 25 years since we purchased our first property. Sam and his entire…read moreteam - no matter who you connect with - live by the same mantra. Customers come first. You may have seen the ad where there are 10 things to do when you are buying or selling a property , the first is you call Sam and he and his team will do the rest. Right from coming to an agreement signing and coming to an agreement for what to list at, office staff at Whittle Road, staging, picture, video, getting offers, signing and closing, every step of the way the service was impeccable. I can understand Sam doing that for us, but the entire team was exactly the same as they were Sam clones! Amazing. Professional approach and you can just sense that they all are enjoying their work and that reflects in the service. The funny thing, is that over time all the transactions that we have done with Sam, all of the above hasn't changed a bit. If I ever have to do a real estate transaction, guess who I am calling? - Sam, of course

Team Joe Battaglia came highly recommended by our neighbour and we couldn't have possibly chosen a…read morebetter realtor and team to buy and sell our home with! Joe Battaglia's knowledge rooted in years of experience, strong negotiation skills and exceptional patience made the process seamless from beginning to end. When first meeting with Joe he walked us through what we could expect, considering the needs of each and every member of our family. What is most impressive about Joe is his genuine interest in finding the right home for his clients to suit not only their current needs, but also their anticipated needs for the future. We first began looking for a home in a very hot market and during this time there were several opportunities for Joe to have encouraged us to bid aggressively. Rather Joe presented us with the value of the home and facts to consider that could influence the future price (e.g. number of semis on the street vs detached homes and location to high traffic areas). Joe always had our best interest in hand and when we came across the perfect house, Joe's strong capacity to negotiate ensured we secured our dream home at a fair market price. When it was ready to list, Joe ensured buyers were presented with the best face possible to earn top dollar and a quick sale. We couldn't have been more thrilled with how smoothly the sale went in spite of the stress of having to get the home ready to present and the presentation of multiple offers. Finally, Joe always had an idea or solution for little fixes we had to do, along with some of the upgrades we wanted to undertake with our new home. If something popped into Joe's head, he would go out of his way to lend a thought or to make a recommendation. We feel as though Joe has become part of our family and we would highly recommend Team Joe Battaglia for anyone considering to buy or sell their home. Quite simply, the experience we had was outstanding and far surpassed all expectations. Thank you Joe!!!!

We worked with Joe back in 2008 when my husband and I were shopping for our first house. Since then…read morehe helped us rent that house, and then sell it, and now again buying our next house. Joe is a great negotiator and has your best interest in mind. He is very dependable. When we sold our house, we weren't even living in the country.

My partner and I contacted Neveen last year, in early November. We didn't have any previous…read moreexperience with realtors and were initially at a loss as to who to choose. We saw that Neveen had absolutely glowing reviews and decided to bite the bullet. THE BEST bullet we've ever bitten - Neveen turned out to be completely everything we wanted in our experience - she's kind, she's patient, she's thoughtful, she's detail oriented, attentive - I could go on and on, but the word I would use to describe working with her is - seamless. She's extremely efficient and an effective communicator. There was never any "chasing" involved - you contact her, she responds. You have a question, she answers. Overall - Neveen is also extremely empathetic and she can just read you on an energetic level. She could tell right away when we weren't feeling a listing, but goes out of her way to not only show you listings you want, but to point out listings you want to avoid. We were pretty aggressive with showings, and my partner and I were able to find a home in two weeks. Throughout this time, Neveen worked tirelessly and made sure the whole ordeal was, again, as seamless as could be. And she's lowkey hilarious. The laughs we shared during this time, actually blossomed into a great friendship. No doubt we will continue to keep contact with Neveen - she was part of a huge milestone, and greatly impacted our lives. Working with Neveen has been amazing, and I apologize to her personally that I couldn't get this out into the universe fast enough. But if you're looking for a sign to work with Neveen, this is your sign! Thank you, Neveen!
