Elaine and Alex and their whole team have been amazing to work with, and we recommend them to everyone who's looking for a realtor. We've worked with them twice now for both buying and selling and we were impressed by their patience and professionalism when guiding us through the market, neighbourhoods and what to expect, and just advice on how to choose a home. We never felt neglected or discouraged and could always rely on a quick reply to any questions we had, no matter how trivial or superfluous. Alex and Elaine went beyond just touring the houses that fell within our parameters, and took the time to show us what moving below or above our expectations would result in, giving us a much better understanding of the market and what our budget could and should afford us. As an example, when we picked something on MLS we liked they picked up a couple more in the area that were similar and even that we might like better. They fit the definition of 'Above and Beyond' perfectly. We loved their service and would undoubtedly enlist them the next time we get into the market.

I love great service. And I love it because great service isn’t something you can fake. It has to come from great, value-driven people who truly care about making your experience sensational. And working with Alex was an experience unlike any other. I didn’t know Alex when I met him. I found a place I was interested in and he happened to be the listing agent, so I contacted him and asked to see the place. You know how every once in a while in life you meet someone and you just instantly connect? That’s what it was like when I met Alex. I felt like I had known the guy my entire life.

During our conversation he inquired about my real estate needs and I mentioned that I was interested in the possibility of investing in a rental property. Well it turned out Alex was (and still is) a savvy investor himself and owned a number of rental properties. He also mentioned he had information on real estate investing that he would be happy to share. At our next meet up, he handed me a one-inch binder loaded with real estate investing gold. It was truly awesome.

I will share one more example of service above and beyond the norm. I saw a place in Barrie that I thought might be the perfect rental property. Alex, without any prompting from me, arranged a time and day to view the place and then insisted he drive me there to see it. I was blown away by that offer! He didn’t just go the extra mile, he literally went the extra 70 miles to meet my needs.

I will end my review with this thought. The majority of agents see you as a commission. Every sales trick and tactic they use is all about getting you to transact with them. There are a small minority of principle-driven agents who invest in people, not commissions, and their sole purpose is to build lifelong relationships by offering extraordinary service catered specifically to individual needs. Alex is most definitely in the latter category. You will not regret investing in him. The pay off is extraordinary.

My wife and I have different personalities. She is extremely anxious while I am very cautious. Elaine brought balance between us. Her advice during this entire process spoke well to both of our personalities. She is very knowledgeable of the real estate market and process. We are extremely pleased that we have her representing us and will strongly recommend her to anyone.

My wife and I worked with Alex and his team this year to purchase our first home, and had a great experience. Alex made navigating the insane process of buying Toronto real-estate as pain-free as possible, and was super friendly, insightful, and patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. His instincts on pricing and competitiveness for bids was always spot on and he provided very clear and helpful advice on all of the steps in the process. We love our new home and had a great time working with Alex to find it!

Highly recommend Elaine & Alex! Extremely responsive, went above and beyond, condo sold in 3 days above asking, incredible value, excellent packages, professional advice, high level of expertise and they really care. You’ll be highly satisfied and will receive excellent care. They are very honest, patient and helpful with several years of experience! If you want your property to sell and/or lease select Elaine/Alex! They are the best!!
