A Real Estate Superstar: Lisa Bednarski We had the immense pleasure of working with Lisa Bednarski in our recent home-buying journey, and it's hard to put into words just how incredible our experience was. Lisa is a true standout in her field, she's smart, strategic, and her unwavering determination made our dreams come true. What sets Lisa apart is her relentless pursuit of success. In a fiercely competitive market, she showed her unwavering determination to secure our dream home. We were up against seven other buyers for the property we ultimately purchased, and Lisa's tenacity was the driving force behind our victory. She didn't just help us buy a home; she helped us win one. But what makes Lisa a gem in the world of real estate is her commitment to her clients. She didn't just help us buy a house; she evaluated whether the home and the move were right for us. She genuinely cared about our happiness and well-being. Her personal touch and attention to detail ensured that we found not just a house but a home where our family could thrive. My husband and I are forever indebted and eternally grateful for her hard work. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to make your dreams a reality, Lisa is the one you need. Thank you, Lisa, for making our home-buying journey a resounding success!

Do yourself a favour and choose Matt Shapiro as your real estate agent. He is friendly, professional, caring, knowledgeable, and always available to you. As a first time buyer, he answered all my questions, and guided me through the whole process from searching for listings, negotiations, obtaining a lawyer, to the final close. Most impressively, he is always willing to go the extra mile. Nothing illustrates this better than when I was moving in to my new condo and the correct locker number was missing. Matt saved me tremendous aggravation by sorting through all the red tape to get me the correct locker number in record time so that I would not have to store my bulky belongings in the living room. Matt delivered when I needed him the most! And he is still delivering today, weeks after close, helping me resolve other issues with the property. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt and the Brel team to anyone searching for great customer service and the right home. Choosing Matt will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

BREL was recommended by a trusted friend who does their homework. As first-time homebuyers, we worked with BREL’s Kristin Shensel to find our home in Durham. She was a great source of information about the industry, the market, and the buying process, and never failed to provide clear answers to our many questions. With her help, we successfully navigated the pitfalls of homebuying, and through some ups-and-downs, gradually narrowed down what was really important to us as we saw many, many houses. Kristin never made us feel uncomfortable and always supported our decisions about whether to make an offer or not, with the philosophy that we would know when we found the right place. However, she certainly made us aware when particularly good opportunities presented themselves, even if we didn’t end up taking them. We're happy to recommend Kristin and the BREL Team, as well as their trusted network of partners whose services we also required (broker, home inspector, real estate lawyer, general contractor, etc.).

We had a great experience working with Halina Bucchino and the BREL team to buy our first home in Toronto. Halina is terrific, and we were so happy to have her in our corner during our home search! She is very responsive, attentive to detail, and knowledgeable about the Toronto market and homes in general, all of which gave us confidence from the beginning of our search through to closing. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated that she made time to really understand our preferences, explain the entire buying process and answer all of our questions, and identify homes that met our needs and flexibly schedule showings for them. When it came to offers, Halina provided us helpful data analyses, was proactive in communicating and getting us helpful information, and negotiated skillfully on our behalf. All in all, we felt that Halina went above and beyond to guide us through an uncertain process and market into a home that we are very happy with. We highly recommend Halina and the BREL team!

When I decided to downsize and buy a new home and started researching real estate firms, I had a short list of requirements: that whoever I work with be intimately familiar with my west end neighbourhood where I planned to stay, an experienced agent, and a good communicator. Brendan at BREL immediately responded to my online query, telling me he had the perfect match that satisfied my criteria. He connected me with Lisa Bednarski, and she didn't disappoint! Not only did she meet all of my requirements, but she also met my expectations all around. Lisa handled everything professionally and efficiently from start to finish. She made the whole process seem almost effortless! Whether buying or selling your home, I highly recommend Lisa and the BREL team and would not hesitate to work with them again!

Matt Shapiro was a true trusted advisor and exceptional agent guiding my wife and I on our recent real estate transaction. From beginning to end, Matt consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best data, advice and support throughout this selling experience, always available whenever we called. Matt also showed exceptional leadership skills as he was able to guide his team at each step of the process. The team did a tremendous job executing with excellence. Each task was completed in a timely manner with a high level of customer service. Overall, this was an exceptional experience and I would, with confidence, recommend Matt and the Brel team to my friends and family. I look forward to working with Matt and team again soon."

Working with Matt Shapiro at the BREL team for me and my husband's first home purchase in Canada was an absolute pleasure. His deep knowledge of the market, dedication, and personal touch made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Matt listened to our needs and tirelessly searched for the perfect property, always putting our interests first. His negotiation skills ensured a fair deal, and his responsiveness was outstanding. What sets Matt apart is not only his professionalism but also his kindness and friendliness. He made us feel like a valued friend, not just a client. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt and the BREL team to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent in Canada. Thanks to them, we now own our dream home here.

I recently used the BREL team to have a rental unit put on the market. I was assigned Shannon Walker from the BREL team and I could not have been happier. She was professional, prompt, courteous, and it was just an overall great experience having her work to have my unit rented out as quickly as possible. I never had to chase her for anything which I have had to do in the past, and I would highly recommend the BREL team to anyone I know.

Jenny and the BREL team exhibit an insane level of professionalism and are so organized they take the anxieties and worries about selling your home away. Jenny was so communicative, patient, knowledgeable and hands on/available the entire process- I have never had such an easy experience with a realtor. She held my hand so to speak through every step in the process. Cannot recommend her and this agency enough! Thanks again everyone

I had Jenny as my agent for the purchase of my condo and it was a great experience! I was a first time home buyer looking for a condo near downtown Toronto. She provided much needed guidance with respect to the market and purchase process. She was approachable and responsive to my queries. I would highly recommend Jenny and I appreciate all her help for acquiring my first home!
