She guided us through…read moreevery single step of the process, from navigating paperwork, inspections, and closing logistics to managing every detail with complete ease. Because Halina maintains strong connections with a broad network of industry professionals, she knew precisely how to point us in the right direction. She pinpointed areas and homes that aligned perfectly with our preferred price range, saving us time and keeping our goals front and center. Whenever we needed a contact or a solution, she had a recommendation for literally everything, and every single one turned out to be fantastic. Halina made us feel completely comfortable speaking our minds and sharing our honest thoughts at every stage. She is remarkably responsive, always communicating right away and answering our questions as many times as needed with endless patience. Her attentiveness and clear communication directly helped us secure exactly what we wanted. Her depth of industry experience stood out immediately, even when coordinating with other agents on the other side of transactions. It was obvious she commands genuine respect across the real estate community, which gave us tremendous confidence throughout negotiations. Always punctual, responsible, and supportive, Halina consistently went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Honestly, now that the whole process is complete, we genuinely miss working with her every day. We cannot recommend Halina Bucchino highly enough to anyone looking for a truly dedicated, connected, and knowledgeable agent.

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!

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.

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.

There are just not enough positive things for me to say about our experience working with Andre. We…read morewere referred to Andre from a friend who's worked with him on several housing sales/purchases and was very happy. To be clear, Andre helped us purchase our first home so I've not worked with other real estate agents. However, prior to deciding to work with Andre, my husband and I interviewed two other agents who'd both been referred to us. As this was a big transaction for us, we wanted to make sure we had the right person helping us. After that initial interview we felt Andre was that person. Before looking at any properties, we met Andre at his office to review a standard purchase agreement. We went through each clause and were able to ask questions. When we were finally in the bidding process, this made it much less stressful, since we were comfortable with the language and the discussion could be all about bidding strategy. Andre is friendly and easy to get along with and knowledgable. He gave us space to establish our own assessment/feeling for each of the properties we saw, but was sure to point out things we may not have noticed. I can honestly say that after a few months of working with him, I learned so much more about houses in the Eastend and felt much more secure in our decision to buy than I had at the beginning. Some quick operational things that he did: he picked us up at our house and drove us to and from each viewing, he was able to turnaround showings within 24 hours, he dug around to find background on properties we were interested in without us asking, and he sought out insight from other professionals (lawyer/mortgage broker) for some out-of-the-box properties we considered. He never rushed us. We got to the point about 25 houses in that we felt we 'should' bid on something. He actually talked us out of it. He could tell we weren't sold on the property and made sure to explicitly let us know there was no rush. His mantra was that "The right opportunity will come along". He reminded us that since we weren't in a rush, we just needed to be patient. He was right. After looking at about 50 houses, we found the one that was right for us. Andre flew into action as we saw it on a Sunday and offers were Monday. He kept us in the loop during the day on the number of registered offers. He had papers drawn up and came to our house to talk through the bidding strategy. We ended up closing on that first house we bid on. After closing, Andre helped us navigate the process of getting a mortgage and provided referrals to lawyers and mortgage brokers. We ended up working with the lawyer he referred. And now, that it's been a month and a half since we took possession he's still checking in and asking how he can help us get settled. We ended up with our first home being much more than we expected and Andre's guidance made that possible. If you're looking for someone who is genuinely invested in helping you to find a home that meets your needs. I highly recommend you work with Andre.

Rebecca is an awful agent. Didn't have time for me. Living out of the province, only visiting the…read morecity from time to time, made the process of finding the right place challenging. But Rebecca was always negative, impatient and incredibly not helpful. In the end, she did not find the perfect place for me. And the process was awful too. She made herself unavailable on short notice and never responded to my communication very quickly. She is not very tech-savvy and unorganized. I don't appreciate that she wouldn't let me step outside my own comfort zone, even when I myself was tempted! I am not very grateful for that. She was awful and I don't recommend.

Not…read moreonly was she enthusiastic and friendly but she was knowledgeable and super organized - all things that were really important to us in a realtor. There was an immediate rapport and we felt, right from the beginning, that we could trust her and rely on her. The market was hot and we expected our home to sell quickly. It was with great excitement that we began the whole process; Rebecca was there every step of the way to guide us as we prepped the house for sale. But it was in the following weeks that we really came to appreciate her professionalism, dedication and support. The market shifted and the house didn't sell as quickly as we had anticipated. Instead of a bidding war we found ourselves wondering if we would sell at all. But Rebecca was amazing. She did her research, pulled out all the stops to showcase and market the property effectively, remained available and committed through it all, and got us the price we wanted. It was such a relief to get that sold sign up on the lawn and we certainly wouldn't have gotten there without Rebecca. Her advice, hard work and never-ending positivity made the whole process so much easier and helped us achieve our goal. We are so glad we chose Rebecca from all those realtors we interviewed that day last March. She is simply wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to all our friends and family. Anyone would be lucky to have her working on their behalf.

[Update in response to business reply:] I want to clarify…read morethat I never asked Ben to lie or misrepresent anything (I have text correspondence to prove it). I simply requested discretion when presenting the lease application--something I later confirmed with another licensed real estate agent is entirely standard and ethical in this industry. Ben's reply avoids the core issue, which is that he disclosed private information against my clear instructions and responded with hostility and abusive language when I addressed it. Notably, in his response, he does not deny using the language I described--something that should give any prospective client, especially women, serious pause before deciding to work with him. Now that I've seen how he chooses to handle client concerns, it's clear he was never acting in my best interest. In hindsight, I'm relieved I never purchased a property through him--because the financial and emotional consequences would have been far greater. ------------------------------------------------- [Review update:] I had previously written a positive review for Ben Fenlon based on an experience in 2022, but I now feel obligated to update it after a recent encounter that was deeply unprofessional and unacceptable. When I attempted to lease a unit, Ben disregarded my clear instructions and disclosed private information to the listing agent without my consent--jeopardizing the deal and violating my trust. When I addressed this, he became aggressive and disrespectful. He raised his voice, used vulgar language, and told me that if I was going to "act bitchy," then the lease "wasn't worth his time" because the commission "wasn't high enough." I had asked Ben to follow a common and fully ethical approach, and to exercise discretion when presenting the application. I expected him, as my agent, to handle the process strategically and professionally, without disclosing unnecessary personal information that could weaken my position. Instead, he ignored my instructions, dismissed my concerns, and treated me with outright disrespect when I raised them. His conduct was not only unprofessional, but also at odds with the duty of care, loyalty, and discretion expected of a registered real estate professional under RECO's Code of Ethics. I can no longer recommend Ben's services under any circumstances.

I was living in the US with our two toddlers and helping care for my godmom who is battling cancer when my husband accepted a job in Toronto. We had no plans to leave Vancouver and had just over a month to make the move to the GTA. I hitched a trailer onto the back of my SUV and drove 20+ hours to Toronto with only a weekend to secure a rental before flying back to Vancouver. My husband and I both were under a lot of stress and Ali (our realtor) swooped in to help us with one of our biggest decisions - where to live! From the moment we first connected with her, she demonstrated such professionalism, responsiveness in matching our needs and desires to an ideal location and impressive confidence in her ability to get us exactly what we wanted. I spent two days touring homes with Ali and lots of emails, texts and phone calls between the three of us. I love that the company is run by women, and they are all great with communication and trying to understand your needs. Christine and Lori also reached out several times prior to commencing our search and even after we moved in, making sure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. They also off wrap-around services and referrals for any type of repair, renovation or service work you may need in your home. We are beyond satisfied with this company and the services that Ali provided to us and will definitely continue to work with them, and refer our contacts as well.

My husband and I purchased our most recent place together, this was my first time buying, Christine was very good at ensuring the place was in good order especially things I did not check in the walk though she was on it. We truly love working with Christine and her team because they are very quick to respond to emails/ calls and if there is a request they ensure to complete it ASAP. Christine truly cares for her clients and always ensure they are taken care of. We truly consider Christine as a friend not just a agent, she is so warm and welcoming. My husband and I view the condo on Saturday at 2PM and Rakhee and Anika (Mortgage Savvy) they did the underwrite in just under and hour and we purchases the place by 8PM. Needless to say they are a DREAM TEAM. Anika was excellent took the time to go over every detail which was great as this was all new and abundance of information. Thank you to everyone, we are all moved in and couldn't be happier.
