Re: Brenda Grant

When my Mother passed away, I was faced with selling her house. I was also faced with finding homes for her 2 cats. Brenda was highly recommended by several friends and neighbors. We had one open house and my Mom's house was sold for top price within 2 days. She explained all the legal aspects of estate sales and probate and she looked after every little detail, including staging, and even helped with finding homes for the cats. Her photographer took superb pictures.

One month later, when my husband was forced into early retirement, we decided to sell our house, downsize and move out of the city, so we called on Brenda a second time. She gave us the same great service and got our house on the market right away.
After a few open house sessions we sold at very close to our asking price. She made it a lot easier than we thought it would be.

Brenda's Customer Service skills are superb. She is especailly knowledgeable with respect to downsizing and dealing with probate issues. Brenda was always prompt to answer all phone calls and emails and we found her to be very sensitive and caring during our trying times.

We would highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent. We now consider her a friend that we can call on anytime.

When you become a house owner, you often find promotional material in your mailbox and you think to yourself: how will I ever trust someone to sell my home? I found myself traveling and far from home when we made a decision to sell our home. My son recommended his former classmate, Kitty Chan, who grew up in our neighborhood. I met Kitty when she was 12 and I have not seen her or spoken to her since, but because my son trusted her, I decided that i should trust her too. We embarked on a journey of selling my first home and I couldn't have been happier about my choice! We were away during the entire sale process and Kitty handled everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! From hiring the inspector; the tradespeople; to making recommendations for things to do, to making the house more marketable like scheduling the cleaning and staging. She did it all. And all along the way, she kept me informed about what was done and what was pending. And she also listened attentively to all my concerns and recommendations. By the time we got the the actual negotiation of the house sale, I was fully confident that she would do everything in her power to get us the prices we were hoping to get. And she did! The house was on the market for less than 2 weeks and because of the confidence I had in Kitty, I was not concerned at all about the outcome. Kitty did such a great job that we listed another property with her and I am sure she will do just as great with this house.

Dear Brenda;

Selling the family home is difficult at any time, and more so when you have to do it during Probate. But your professionalism, knowledge and tremendous help in the sale of our mom's properties made the process much easier.  You understood our emotional upheaval and sometimes unrealistic real estate thoughts. 

You are honest and caring, even if it meant we needed to hear some things we didn't want to acknowledge (prices/best way to show the properties), and would still continue to work with what we wanted: this resulted in a perfect compromise being created. 

You went out of your way to help us clean and prepare the properties for the best results, and you went out of your way to ensure the sales were as quick as possible while easing the emotional strain on my sister and I. You totally understood what we were going through, and never pushed. 

Your knowledge on probates as well as the current real estate markets certainly came in handy to guide us with what we had to do.  I would definitely and highly recommend you for any type of real estate sales, as you are able to handle the emotional trauma the sellers are going through while maintaining professionalism and providing excellent real estate advice and service.

Regarding Brenda Grant

I am privileged to provide a testimonial on behalf of Brenda Grant whom I have known for over a half a dozen years.
As an ex-Torontonian, I have resided in Jupiter Florida for thirty-four years. Approximately six years ago I began speaking with Brenda regarding the eventual sale of my elderly father's home in North York. At the time, my independent father was not ready to sell his home. Brenda, exhibited compassion and patience. She continued to provide me with updated market comparisons and studies throughout the years, in a refined and sophisticated manner. 

In order to sell the home for the highest price Brenda arranged (I provided her with full access and authority) to provide superficial renovations, removal of all of the contents of the home and staging in my absence! As a result of her tasteful and refined embellishments, the home sold for the highest cash price offer imaginable.

Anyone can "stick a sign in the ground" and attempt to sell your home. If you desire impeccable and exemplary representation, there is no other choice in the GTA. There are no superlatives to describe Brenda's integrity.
At the risk of appearing pretentious, I will state emphatically that if given the choice of her representation, and you do not use her services, you have made a mistake. I unequivocally recommend Brenda Grant for any and all real estate sales.

Kitty Chan helped us find our new rental in Toronto. She conducted the entire process remotely, was incredibly responsive and helpful and really made the process stress free. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a rental in Toronto.
