I'm sorry the other reviewer had a bad experience, I'm sure that agent is no longer working with us if he was really that unprofessional.

No doubt there are some truly professional realtors at Kore, but I had the misfortune of working…read morewith one who was a disappointment and whose incompetence resulted in me losing the condo I wanted. Working with him was like working with a call-in centre agent who had ADHD. He put me on speakerphone without telling me. I could hear the entire office, but I couldn't hear him. He didn't listen, he made mistakes, he misinformed me, talked over me, and he didn't give me any guidance. When I told him I wanted to talk to someone else, he kept calling me again and again. Despite his attention, nothing he did was useful in any way. I was abandoned. No words are strong enough to express the stress I was put through, and the anger, betrayal, and hurt I feel. I am heartbroken.

For selling my home they put in a tremendous effort into marketing our home to get a huge amount of exposure. They were fantastic in following up with perspective buyers, and when it came to negotiations I know they got us the best price for our home. They know the area, the market values and trends, and were able to use all their knowledge to help us so much in negotiations. For buying a home, they were very patient as it is my process to view many, many homes. Again, their knowledge of the area, and the homes on the market was such a help. And their knowledge of fair market value and trends ensured we got a great price on the home we purchased. They are superb at answering calls, texts, and emails very promptly. I felt like a priority through the entire process. They are confident and savvy, without making me feel any sort of pressure. The contracts they wrote for both the sale/purchase of our home made me feel very well taken care of. They were very detailed, and I appreciated that as I know the contracts were definitely written to work in our favour on every little thing. I also have young children and they were patient and sweet as I had to bring my youngsters to most of the viewings. I would recommend Virani Realtors to anyone and everyone!

Attention to detail, service-oriented, and developing a long-standing relationship with all of their past clients and probably a few more secrets. Highly recommend them.

For us it was a no-brainer to use them again. They were extremely accommodating with when we wanted to see places and where we wanted to see them. Colin provide honest advice about homes and locations that we were looking. With Colin's expert advice we were able to exceed our expectations on the sale of our house. The right fixes, the right price and his style led to multiple competing offers above our asking price. Colin was also help to help secure our new home at the price we were willing to pay through a somewhat tough negotiation, Since we have moved into our new home we have some minor issues that have needed to be resolved. Jenn was quick to respond and get resolutions to the problems that again exceeded our expectations. Colin and Jenn are extremely professional, easy to communicate with and work with you as if you are their own family. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Using them twice is a reflection of their service and we will use them again when the time comes to sell and purchase down the road.

They give me profession advises throughout the whole process. What impressed me the most was that Colin could actually help me to fight for my best interest. He gave me tips on how I may prep my home so that it may be sold at a better price, and helped setting the best price that was right to the market and meeting what I expected. He helped resolving all issues arose during negotiating processes and followed up things in a very timely fashion. Jenn helped much in processing the large amount of documents. I would not need to worry what to do next because I know she would email me showing me all steps needed. I would have no doubt recommending them.

Absolutely disappointed with the service from John Samus of the John Samus group. One star is being…read moregenerous. Not truthful to us, played (offer leverage) games and was unethical as our representative for a house purchase. He confirmed that our offer was accepted by the seller via text after we outbid another buyer then he stated that he was getting the paperwork signed by the sellers which he would email to me to give to my broker, then approx 5 hours later at night, sent a text, (yes a text) stating that there was another offer that came in and the sellers went with that. There was no call to us during the 5 hour wait to update us on what was happening or anything for that matter, then he had the audacity to tell us that "in his opinion" the house price was too high and that we should buy somewhere else. I would highly caution anyone from dealing with this group based on personal experience.

Buying my first home felt like jumping into the deep end without knowing how to swim. I had so many…read morequestions, was constantly second-guessing myself, and honestly didn't know who to trust. Then I found Dan J. Reilly -- and I seriously couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. From day one, Dan made everything make sense. He broke things down in a way that actually felt human -- no pressure, no confusing jargon, just straight-up guidance. He was super patient with all my questions (and trust me, I had a lot), and never once made me feel dumb for asking. What really blew me away was how hard this guy works. He wasn't just sitting back waiting for listings to pop up -- he was out there actively looking, knocking on doors, and finding hidden opportunities. I honestly felt like he cared about my search more than I did at times. He went way beyond what I expected from a Realtor. His advice was always on point -- not just emotionally, but financially too. Dan owns investment properties himself, so he helped me look at homes through a long-term lens, not just as a place to live, but as a smart investment. That perspective gave me way more confidence in the decision I made. He also connected me with an amazing team (mortgage broker, inspector, etc.) and made everything way less stressful than I expected. Even after I moved in, he checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly -- which says a lot. Bottom line: if you're buying a home -- especially your first -- Dan's the guy you want in your corner. He's sharp, honest, and genuinely has your back the whole way through. Couldn't recommend him more.
