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.

Rebecca impressed us from the moment she walked into our house to meet us for the first time. 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 co-own the property in Brockton Village, downtown Toronto that sold this week through Leif Moore…read more I am writing to share my most genuine and positive experience with Leif. I met him in my neighbourhood a while back and watched him sell some properties. But I was keen on him mostly because he is a man who is well respected among our neighbours and so down to earth. From the moment I first approached him, right through to the final signatures he showed himself to be nothing short of spectacular. He has guided my Dad and I through this sale in the middle of a pandemic. He has been patient and kind, empathetic and always professionally outstanding. He brings excellent communication skills and an awesome personality with a great balance that affords so much confidence. Leif is not just a realtor, he is the full package of one stop shopping insofar as all things necessary to prepare your house for sale. He is a project manager extraordinaire with the personality to go with! 100% would do it all over again with him!

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!
