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!

From the beginning I…read morehad issues with them; somehow someone from their office stole $1600 (from my account, when they were asking for 1st and last) I had to call my bank to find a solution. They lie to tenants saying that the place is clean and that they perform pest control. The place is infested with roaches and bed bugs, and Linda (building manager) lies saying everything is perfect; they did 2 pest control in the year, but I had roaches constantly, so when I asked for fumigation, Linda and Justin (Gowan Property Manager) denied it, stating that there is only 2 fumigations during the year, which goes totally against pest control terms. The floor in my unit was chipped and the room unleveled. They put garbage cans in front of 1st floor units, which carries fruit flies, that go inside the unit during summer putting at risk all tenants health in that floor. When I left they stole my key deposit of $50 dollars. Furthermore I have a friend living there and he is experiencing several similar issues, so beware of this place!!!

Mediocre describes this company exactly in the short version: the Walmart or Canadian Tire…read moreexperience if you will. Overall I would say choosing this company can be justified. However, understand there are drawbacks as listed below. This establishment has a lot of five-star reviews on google map. If they are fake or just done by people who don't know or have never experienced better are questions I would again let the readers themselves to decide. I can state I am not fake: no companies would ever hire someone to give a 2 start review. The long version: Pros: 1. Take credit card 2. fast email response Cons: 1. Refuse to repair major appliances bluntly. Yes, you can go through Ontario landlord-tenant board for noncompliance with Ontarian laws, but you won't because of the nature of the short-lease living. If they know and are trying to abuse this tendency is a question I will leave for readers to decide. 2. low-quality items All Ikea stuff from knives to mattress. 3. Moderately unreliable maintenance Just because they replied does not mean they would come and fix. You have to follow up frequently because they would forget about your request. My guess is it is due to a combination of their lack of care and poor system.

DO NOT LIVE HERE!! I lived at 15 Dundonald Street for about one year while it was under the…read moremanagement of MetCap Living. My advice to anyone considering living here would be to find somewhere else. When I saw the building I figured, "meh, it's not the nicest looking, but how bad can it be?" It is horrible. Almost everything about it is so bad that I actually requested an early end to my lease. Pros: Good proximity to the Eaton Centre, University of Toronto, the museums, grocery and liquor stores, subway station, and more. The building offers an outdoor pool, tennis court, basketball court, and a gym (however, see below). I only interacted with the building staff on two occasions, but they were really sweet and helpful. Cons: (General): First, the building has no AC and gets very hot in the summer. The building is noticeably run-down, with faded/chipped paint on the exterior, an overall dingy feeling, a dirty parking garage, stains in the stairwells, peeling wallpaper in the hallways, and units that have scratched floors, marks all over the walls, and baseboards that have pulled away from the floors to reveal cracks all over. Outside the building, I have had to step over drug needles and tourniquet bands on several occasions. The electrical outlets are not secured properly and push into the wall when you try to plug things in, in one case giving me an electrical shock. The building gym is windowless and poorly lit, feeling almost dungeon-like and the equipment is so limited as to be essentially useless - they offer one cable machine, a limited number of dumbbells, two bikes, and two broken treadmills. (Safety): In terms of safety, the building doesn't have an overly safe feeling. There is no concierge and the building door frequently had issues with automatically shutting, so anyone from the streets could walk right in. In one instance an intoxicated man got into the building and showed up at my door. He wouldn't leave despite me repeatedly asking him to, and kept insisting that I let him into my apartment. I needed to phone the police. In another instance, I encountered a homeless man from the streets who got into the building's parking garage because of its lack of security. (Landlord/Management): Never in my life have I encountered management as poor as this. During the coronavirus pandemic (of 2020) the building rightfully closed down public amenities, including their tennis court. However, well after provincial reopening (over two months later) and they had still not opened the court. This was disappointing to me as it was one of the features that I enjoyed about the building. I sent various emails, and spoke to the building employees, the building manager, MetCap customer service, and the property manager, and at every turn I was ignored or else received a response blaming other departments for the lack of information. After months of being ignored I contacted FMTA, who informed me that their actions highlighted those of a lazy company trying to get away with as little work as possible, and suggested I pursue loss of service charges through the Landlord and Tenant Board. I mentioned this to the property manager hoping it would prompt a response...and I was still ignored. Suffice to say, there is an overwhelming feeling that this company couldn't care less about your living situation as long as they get your money. (Bugs): One last thing to note: I was fortunate to see no bugs in my unit, although my neighbours did tell me that they frequently see cockroaches. My advice would be to consult a bug-registry website for this building because most testimonials about bugs here are incredibly damning, citing frequent cockroach and bedbug infestations.

Not only has this building had constant cockroach issues (no warning of this when signing the lease of course), but the elevators are constantly out of order with no rush to repair, the staff have terrible communication skills and take months to deal with any tenant issue, there is constant construction noise, outside strangers get inside the building and risk the safety of the tenants, homeless and drug users frequently linger in the alleyway and so on and so forth. They even took away any free visitor parking, making you pay every time - when it isn't even safe to park there.

Highly recommend this property management company for anyone in Toronto or the GTA!

I switched over to PMT about six months ago because the previous property management company for my…read morehouse in Toronto had provided poor services and dropped the ball on too many occasions over a period of many years. Because of the poor organization and lack of communication on the part of my previous management company, switching to PMT was complicated. Thank goodness the people I was working with at PMT, particularly Pedro, were so helpful! Everyone at PMT went above and beyond in helping me make the switch. PMT has been highly responsive, quickly to reply to messages, friendly and extremely helpful. They have helped make my property run more efficiently, organized all the repairs and clean-up that had been previously unaddressed, and in the process also sourced the most cost-conscious ways in which to do this. Working with the team at PMT is a pleasure and I feel relieved knowing they are caring for my house.

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.

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.
