I am the kind of person who does her own research and doesn't trust anyone, specially real estate agents. I had many bad experiences with different agents, including friends who are in this business. So obviously, when trying to sell our condo and buying a house, I was looking for an agent that charged less as I didn't think I needed much from them. I talked to Rimsha at that time but decided to go with another agent who charges much less to sell my condo. After a terrible experience with that agent and selling my condo much lower than anticipated, I decided to ask Rimsha for her help when purchasing our new place. She was very professional. Answered our calls and emails even after hours. During showings, she was professional, friendly and looked carefully to ensure there was no issue with the house. I also had to take my children to the showings with me, and Rimsha made sure to include them in the process. After our first full day of showings, my son asked me to keep working with Rimsha. He mentioned that he had noticed that Rimsha cared for them and asked them if they were OK when they dropped something rather than being worried about them ruining the house. She was the first agent to provide me with information that I didn't already know. I loved that she didn't push us to buy a house that we were not comfortable with. She provided us with a detailed report of the properties that we liked more and their surrounding areas and helped us make the best decision for our family. We ended up in a bidding war with four other bidders, and Rimsha was able to negotiate with the selling agent and was able to get us the house of dreams at a very reasonable price. Rimsha is not only the best real estate agent I have ever met, but she is also a great, trustworthy and kind person. Thanks Rimsha, for everything.

Thank you Rene...thank you! If you are looking for a real estate agent who knows the market, understands strategy, has a great read on people, is honest and works so incredibly hard on your behalf...then Rene Illescas from the Invidiata Team is your agent. We had an offer on my house within a day and the purchase of my new home just finalized this evening...amazing! I wasn't selling or purchasing a multi million dollar home but never felt like selling and finding my new home were not top priority for Rene. My situation was complicated with a separation and Rene handled this with complete professionalism, understanding and discretion. I honestly can not say enough about this experience. Rene's genuinely kind personality, combined with his expertise, have made this experience so much less overwhelming than it could have been for me. Rene...I appreciate your honesty, your connections to other trusted professionals, your hard work on my behalf and of course the laughs. You always had a great read on me at all times, as well as people we encountered along the way. I look forward to making my new home my own, making memories in my new home and then making the call to you in the future when I'm ready to move on to another chapter in life. Rene your hard work on my behalf is so appreciated...thank you.

Everyone is so busy today that it is hard to find the time to write a review on a product and or a service that you have received, but when someone has provided exceptional service the time and effort that it takes is more than warranted. Such is the case with the professional service that Lorne provided in the recent sale of one of our properties. I think what I liked most about working with Lorne was that he truly had my best interests at heart. Lorne insisted that I do a number of things to the property before listing to maximize the sale price. He could have simply brought the property to market as is given that the property in my opinion when we first met was move in ready. Instead he gave me a list of things that should be removed and or repaired. Lorne than monitored the list and only when everything was complete was the property listed. To my surprise Lorne was present at every showing to meet with other agents and prospective buyers. This effort demonstrated to me that Lorne was actually interested in selling the property whereas many agents are just satisfied with having listed the property. If you are looking for professional service whether your buying or selling I would highly recommend that you contact Lorne, you wont be disappointed.

FIVE STAR PLUS Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking our listing and for assigning Lorne Howell as our Realty Sales Representative. Lorne was an outstanding professional in every regard. From the very first meeting to the sale of our home he listened and responded to our every request and concern. The first price was our price not his. The sale price was closer to his and the comparables. Lorne provided: an excellent Home Stager, a quick and expert Painter, an excellent Photographer, and Home Collection magazine and feature sheet elaborating all the best aspects of our home. Lorne also held multiple open house events, to which he came early and prepared fully before viewer arrivals. He marketed our home aggressively as promised. Lorne even went to the trouble of attending showings by other realtors, also arriving early, setting up relevant literature, and turning on all the lights! We could not be more pleased with Lorne’s service and have recommended him to our neighbours and friends. Selling one’s home should always be like this! Impressive! Sincerely, (We are hand delivering this letter of thanks because Lorne Howell did all for us in person.)

We have had the pleasure of working with Lorne Howell on 6 residential buying and selling transactions in the past 30 months. Backed by the incredible resources of The Invidiata Team, combined with his experience, skill, knowledge and impeccable reputation, we could enter the market with extreme confidence. Lorne was careful and deliberate to make sure our goals were always aligned. When selling, he would proactively share the analytics as to how our home was trending online and continuously keep us apprised if the most current market data. We were always well informed, no matter what side of the transaction we were on. It is amazing what a difference a true expert can make, especially in the Southeast Oakville market where market conditions are so unique and can be volatile from time to time. Lorne was our Rock when we experienced some of this volatility! And we always knew the entire Invidiata Team was at the ready to pitch in, including Christopher, should the need ever arise! We consider ourselves fortunate to have experienced Lorne and The Invidiata Team’s professionalism and expertise, and they can consider us clients for life!

My experience with Invidiata was outstanding, from start to finish all clients and parties involved with the purchase of the condo were treated with the upmost respect, transparency and professionalism. One of Invidiata's real estate agents Ruby Gill was nothing short of excellent throughout this entire process as she was able to provide me with every single valuable asset I needed in order to make the correct decision. From the back and forth communication with multiple developers , to meeting over zoom numerous times to discuss layouts, preferences and budgets, Ruby Gill performed beyond expectations. It was truly a pleasure being able to work with Invidiata throughout the purchase of my first condo downtown, I really felt like I was taken care of and was shown the best options out there. I appreciate the time and dedication Ruby spent with me and my family throughout this process, I would highly recommend any new or existing buyer to work with this Agency, as they really do find the best solutions that fit your next ideal future home !

With over 25 years experience of buying and selling real estate in Canada and internationally my wife and I deal with many real estate agents. Lorne Howell is absolutely extraordinary in the pool of agents we have ever met. His exceptional attention to his clients’ needs, profound understanding of the market and outstanding approach to details makes the process of selling or buying a home (Lorne has helped us to buy and to sell) extremely comprehensive and smooth. Unlike many agents in the industry who disappear once a sales/purchase agreement is signed Lorne walks his clients through all stages of the deal and even provides a very caring post sales service. Yes, the one exists in the real estate industry if you work with a right agent!! :) Not only I would responsibly recommend Lorne Howell if you are looking for a professional assistance but also I would confidently state that Mr. Howell’s performance represents a highest standard in the real estate industry.

We sold our home in three days, above listing in a very challenging market. We couldn’t have achieved this without Lorne Howell. His attention to detail is unbelievable; from staging, the photography, the video and even meeting all prospective buyers. Just before we listed, Oakville had a wind storm which brought down three trees on the property, despite my best attempts we couldn’t get a tree company to respond but Lorne miraculously had someone at our property within hours. The time that he dedicated to this sale was incredible - we felt like we could contact him at any time to ask questions and brain storm. Right from the very beginning, when we were vetting agents in the area, the Invidiata team provided us with the most useful information and thoughtful analysis about the current market. The entire experience was professional and thankfully quick! Thank you Lorne for all your advise and expertise.

5 STARS for LORNE HOWELL. We met Lorne six years ago at an open house on our street. Recently, we have listed our home with Lorne and it sold two weeks ago for an excellent price, especially in the current market situation and stiff competition in the neighborhood. We found, he is a great negotiator and very knowledgeable in his field. Further, dealing with him was a great pleasure and he never pressurized us. He is highly attentive agent. He always returned our phone calls, text messages and e-mails promptly. He has recommended some minor changes that we needed to make in our home to attract buyers, and his advice worked. Lorne is very honest and hardworking real estate agent. We don’t have any hesitation to recommend his name if you are looking for buying or selling your home.

My husband and I recently got married and wanted to buy our first home, as we were 1st time homebuyers. Ruby was so enjoyable to work with as she is a beautiful person inside and out. She is honest, hardworking, passionate, caring, meticulous and so knowledgeable about the ins and outs of real estate. Ruby went above and beyond to help us find our perfect home, that checked ALL our boxes. She is very knowledgable and experienced, enabling her to give excellent real estate advice to ensure her clients make informed decisions. Ruby is a one of a kind Realtor, who puts her clients needs at the forefront. After three months and a lot of viewings we found the perfect home for us and it was all because we found the perfect realtor, Ruby. When we get the keys to our home, we will be walking away with a home and a friend.

We were very fortunate indeed to have had Lorne Howell of Invidiata Real Estate represent us in the sale of our Oakville home. Due to his thorough knowledge of the local real estate market, his extensive experience, his marketing ability, and hard work – our home was sold very quickly without stress. Lorne is very responsive to his clients as well as all others involved in the real estate transaction. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and his calm disposition and managerial capability, together with the fact he personally attended all appointments made the process seamless. Lorne is truly a dedicated real estate professional and a person of unquestionable integrity. It was a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs. Many Thanks Lorne 10+ Linda & Bill

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Lorne Howell on the purchase of our new home in Oakville. Lorne was a true professional in all respects and worked extremely hard to ensure we found the right home for us, not just any home. He was incredibly knowledgeable on the many different neighbourhoods within the broader Oakville area and carefully took us through the pros and cons of living in each one. We were impressed with his thorough approach to viewing a home, including his due diligence of its working order. We found Lorne to be patient and accommodating throughout the purchasing process but also willing to speak up and provide an experienced opinion to help guide our decision making. We have nothing but great things to say about working with Lorne and would highly recommend his services.

My wife and I were looking to sell our home and purchase in a different city. We immediately thought of Linda Ford as she had helped us purchase our first property four years earlier. For us, Linda has the perfect mix of knowledge, patience, professionalism and assertiveness. She was very responsive to questions whether it was in person or via text/email. Linda was able to sell our home in a few days, for more than we expected; and it was the highest sale price for comparable properties in the neighborhood. She was also able to find our dream home in our ideal neighborhood and was able to negotiate the price down to what we were comfortable with. Overall, the entire buy and sell process was simple and effortless with Linda's guidance. We would definitely recommend Linda to all our family and friends!

Lorne Howell lives up to the term "professional". It is clear right out of the gate that Lorne leverages his experience to help customer make informed decisions. What I liked most about dealing with him is the way he adapts to our ways of doing things. I feel the more we do our homework, the better serviced we would be. Lorne played up to that very very well. He was extremely patient, always gave his opinion without being intrusive. He spent all the time needed to get the task done from start all the way to closing. He made our experience that much better in what is normally believed to be a daunting task of choosing a home. Very empathetic and accommodating, Lorne was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Lorne. I would have no issues at all recommending you to anyone needing your services.

We have purchased and sold 19 homes over the years in both Canada and the USA and can say without any qualms that our overall experience in both the selling and purchasing process was truly hassle free..The service and expertise provided by both Lorne and Invidiata was consistently professional. Selling and purchasing a home can be very trying for most people but Lorne's professional approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. In addition, Lorne was extremely helpful by providing us with a list of quality contractors to help us with our renovations of our new home.We ended up hiring each one he recommended. I would not hesitate to recommend Lorne and Invidiata to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a new home; there overall professionalism and knowledge is exceptional.

We really enjoyed working with Lorne. Our house had been listed with another agent, from another company, for four months and our had not sold. Since we had already moved (out of the country) we were in a bit of a panic. Friends recommended Lorne who had just sold their home in under a week (their home had also been listed with a different company originally and sat on the market for some time). Lorne sold our home in one week. He is wonderful to work. He is responsive, easy to communicate with and he is an excellent negotiator. He attended every viewing and engaged with the buyers in a very positive way. He priced our home accurately so there was a lot of interest. I wish we had listed with Lorne from the beginning- I'd be in my new home in our new area by now!

I want to start out by giving 5 stars to Lorne Howell. He is a consummate professional who... not just says it but does it! We met Lorne a couple of years before we engaged him to sell our place. He took the time to get to know us, our priorities and objectives and then patiently kept us updated during this period. Once we were ready to proceed he was proactive with his advice and his attention to detail was exceptional. He is a good listener, prepared to share his advice but recognizes that the final decision is the client's. He was active and fully engaged in the process with an objective to have a sale within a week. He over delivered on all counts! I highly recommend Lorne and want to thank him for everything he did for us.

Lorne Howell was referred to us by a friend who also used him to sell her home and he lived up to our expectations for the sale of our house. We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Lorne and Invidiata team. He brought in a staging expert that helped us with the house making it "show worthy” and their photographer took amazing photos & video for the web listing. Lorne is a professional who is very knowledgable, dedicated to his clients and his attention to detail is unprecedented. He responded quickly to our every question, and inquiry. He provided invaluable advice and guidance throughout the process. We highly recommend Lorne and Invidiata wholeheartedly. Thank you Lorne.

We were searching for a Realtor as we were not happy with the Realtors we were coming across. Suddenly, it hit me that I know Rimsha as a acquaintance and she's an agent. I think she was God-sent to help us out. A day after talking to her, we were so satisfied because she really made an effort to find the right house for us. She would show properties well in our budget and kept our top priority in her mind. She went an extra mile every single time so that our first house is the perfect house and for that we are forever grateful:). Thankyou Rimsha and your whole team. I guarantee you that you are the only person we will contact for our next purchase, Insha Allah!

Promt professional service is exactly what we received from Lorne and the Invidiata Team. His 30+ years of experience in real estate became evident from our first meeting. Lorne's attention to detail is remarkable, his in depth knowledge of the market, along with his calm yet confident manner, allowed us to maximize our profits in the sale of our home. By creating a solid rapport, Lorne gained our trust, as well as potential buyers and executed a firm deal in a matter of days! To ensure a flawless transaction, call Lorne and his team to expedite the process in the most profitable way possible. Jason & Theresa D'Antonio

Once the decision was made to move to Oakville, my brother, a client of Lorne, referred Lorne and only Lorne and he was right. The first showing Lorne understood exactly what I was looking for and what matters to me. Lorne knew the potential of every listing I liked and would tell me if it works or not. What really made Lorne stand out is his passion for what he is doing and being around people; he has a cosmopolitan mind. He advocates for his clients interest. Lorne goes the extra step of following up after moving day. Looking forward to deal with Lorne again when I'm going to buy a house." Lorne and only Lorne".

We were pleased with all aspects of our dealings with Invidiata Real Estate. Donna Gray was amazing from our first meeting. She worked with us, discussing strategies for an unusual market. The marketing materials Donna produced for our home were outstanding. Communication was excellent and always very fast. She's friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. As a bonus for us, she lives in our neighbourhood so she really understands the local situation. We sold our home at our desired price in spite of challenging market conditions which Donna successfully helped us to navigate. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Lorne is a great reliable agent! He has an awesome understanding of the market and he immediately developed a plan and we put it into action. In less than a week of our house being listed Lorne worked his magic to score an offer! Just absolutely outstanding! He is a great listener and communicator, he’s punctual and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to deal with the Invidiata Team and we will definitely use their services in the future! If you want proficient expertise and quick results, I would highly advise and recommend you partner with Lorne. Thanks again, Lorne.! Ruba and Tarek

I wanted to thank Shae and Rimsha on a recent sale in Oakville! I was the buyer agent and my clients were the successful purchasers of their listing. From the first visit through to closing, it was an absolute pleasure working with such professional, honest and knowledgeable people. I'd especially like to thank Rimsha for making the entire transaction smooth and enjoyable! My clients are ecstatic about the house and very happy with my service but my job was made much more efficient by working with your team. Thank you Shae and a GIGANTIC thank you to Rimsha!

We worked with Donna Gray from Individiata to sell our home and she was wonderful to work with! Not only is Donna an expert in the South Mississauga/Oakville area but she also has a tremendous eye for styling a home. Donna was able to help us prioritize what needed to be done to maximize the selling price of our home as well as navigate as an expert negotiator. The marketing materials that she created were A+ and very high quality. Donna is everything you want in a realtor and more. We would absolutely recommend her to all of our loved ones!

Working with Lorne Howell from the Invidiata Team was a true delight in every possible manner. His experience in the business was evident from the moment we began negotiations on a listing of mine for his buyers. Lorne handled the transaction swiftly and with grace. A true gentleman at heart and a highly knowledgeable Realtor. Many agents can learn from Lorne’s expertise in the real estate industry. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you Lorne!

Rimsha Ali is absolutely wonderful to work with. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand to us as a 1st time home buyer. Rimsha was professional and friendly. She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way! She was always available to answer our questions and to show us the requested home any time we asked for. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home, you won’t regret it.

Our realtors Debbie and Chris of the Invidiata Team did an excellent job in helping us to sell our house. They organized and conducted the sale process professionally through all its stages: the market analysis, the staging, the illustrations of the house (photos and video), and the negotiations with the potential buyers. We were very happy with the result because the house was sold in just two days. To Debbie and Chris we express our thanks.

Working with Lorne has been a real pleasure. Although we were listed with another agent previously and reasonably pleased, Lorne added a different caliber of professionalism. He gave us a detailed and compelling analysis of what he thought our property was worth. He went through our property and suggested how to eliminate some eyesores. He is punctual, courteous , follows up and is a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t recommend him more.

I recently worked with Rimsha and sold my house in Milton, Ontario. I live in Alberta and was guided all the way to complete the sale all remote. It was a wonderful and very satisfactory experience. She helped me and went out of the way in every step on this deal. The sold was sold in less than 12 hours. She managed to close the deal even higher than my asking price. I highly recommend Rimsha for the great work and excellent service.

Rimsha Ali is an amazing agent. She came recommended by a friend, and we are so happy we went with her. As second time home buyers the process can be intimidating, Rimsha made the process seamless, smooth and made sure our needs/wants were met and our many questions answered. She was always prompt to respond. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.

The Invidiata Team are a group of professionals who provide service excellence and truly care about their customers needs and wants. The entire sales purpose agreement was completed even beyond our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone that wants to seek a real estate professional to represent them. Marija is our direct contact and she represented the team very well. Thanks, again to Team Invidiata!

My realtor, Lorne Howell, was very courteous, had a lot of patience and really understood the necessary details to make my selling experience Awesome! He took the time to explain things to me clearly - from the floor plan measuring to the great photography and video, it all came together smoothly. Thanks Lorne to you and the Invidiata team for all your hard work!

If you are looking for the best realtor, choose Rimsha from The Invidiata Team! She was so friendly and honest from the beginning of this lengthy process. She helped me and my family find the perfect home that fit our specific needs. She was easy to contact and communicate with and did not rush us to find a house. I am very pleased with her service.

Rimsha And Moin have been a wonderful team and have gone above and beyond in getting our requirements met. They have been patient, thorough, communication was prompt and they consistently looked out for our best in every way through the entire process from start to finish.

Where to begin. Being first time home buyers in Canada we were a little intimidated at first. But we were absolutely lucky to find Lorne Howell from the Invidiata team who carried us through the process with great earnestness & efficiency.

I have known Kathy Wood for several years now. The first encounter was when she sold my personal house within couple of days of placing it on the market. Since then she has been able to find me tenants for several of my rental properties.

I had contacted Invidiata regarding a listing that I was interested and received a callback from an agent that was very quick with getting me to see the listing the next day. Rimsha Ali was the agent that met me for a showing and she was
