Jenny truly listened to what we wanted and found a place that was absolutely perfect for us.

We couldn't recommend her more highly!

I worked with Jenny in securing a rental in the Yonge and Eglinton area and she's quite literally…read morethe best agent I've ever worked with. She was not only extremely responsive, she worked on providing me all the information extremely quickly, whether it was listings compatible with what I was looking for or even basic inquiries. She was able to help me secure a spot in my favorite building in the area that I had no idea was even available. Highly, highly recommend.

We would like to give a big shout out to Matt Shapiro! Matt helped us find the most amazing tenants…read morefor our beloved home in Toronto and we could not be happier. 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!

Alex worked with me over 3 weeks to help me find an apartment in Toronto. He meticulously guided me…read morethrough all of the options and was very honest and thorough. Alex drafted three written offers on my behalf and pushed back on any unreasonable demands by landlords. He even added extra protections for my interests in the lease. Given Alex's reputation and connections in Toronto, we were able to see apartments as soon as they were listed. He always accommodated my work schedule and arranged for viewings outside of the business hours. Beyond his professionalism and skill, Alex is very kind and genuine. I felt comfortable working him and highly recommend him. He's very accessible and always responds to texts, emails and calls promptly. I'm very pleased with his impeccable service. I look forward to working with him again. In short, Alex is an honest advocate who will make sure you're on the winning side of transaction. You can't go wrong with Alex!

Andre helped my husband and I sell our Riverside condo and buy a house in East York that we are…read morehappy to call our new home. We were unsure of exactly what we wanted in a home but Andre was so incredibly patient and insightful while bringing us to a few dozen homes before we found the one. He explained that we would know when we found it and to trust that feeling you get when you enter a home. Never once did we feel any pressure to make decisions and we always felt supported along the way until we found the house we really wanted. Andre helped us secure our home in a multiple offer situation and then staged our condo beautifully to sell for more than expected. We will definitely be using Andre for any future real estate needs and never hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to make a move. He was a true professional and a real pleasure to work with. He actually made a process that is naturally a bit stressful really fun! Thanks Andre.

Andre Alves has been a staple in the Leslieville area since the neighbourhood wasn't all that…read moredesirable. His bright smile has adorned bus stops, benches and billboards in the neighbourhood for as long as I can remember. Andre is professional and courteous, however in the digital age it's not just about personality. Andre's digital presence is not up to my personal standard of excellence. His website lacks AODA compliancy and his use of a blog to repost listings is not what I look for in terms of a real estate blogger. I also feel he could better service his clients in social media and on YouTube. I don't have the time to meet people in person or talk on the phone so I expect their digital presence to be as effective as in person and Andre just isn't there.

My wife and I had a great experience buying our home with the help of Nadia in the Fall of 2019…read more She was everything we could have hoped for in a real estate agent. Nadia was always quick to highlight new properties, answer our questions, and make herself available for viewings. However, she was also patient and respected our purchase criteria. Nadia was very insightful in highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of any property we viewed. Lastly, I was very impressed with her integrity in highlighting a major issue she had discovered in a pre-closing inspection that put the deal in significant jeopardy. I would highly recommend Nadia.
