When it came time for us to help our mother sell her house, we chose The Brenda Grant Team to guide us through the process. Although the market was changing and prices had been falling, Brenda and her team worked with us to get the best price for the property. They guided us on the best improvements to make to the house before listing. Also, they had suggestions for reliable contractors to complete the work that we couldn’t do ourselves. Brenda and her team took care of all the staging, photography and final touches that made the home look outstanding! Their hard work resulted in an incredible number of showings within hours of the listing going live, and word of multiple offers within a few days. We were able to accept an exceptional offer and close the sale very quickly. We highly recommend the Brenda Grant Team for your Real Estate needs, they are caring, professional and obviously successful!

As a first-time home buyer, there can be an overwhelming amount of information thrown at you from all sides.

Our realtor Robyn Muise, (part of the Brenda Grant team) was not only the best realtor and person, but was truly the smartest decision we’ve made in this process.

She found us our dream condo within two weeks of searching. She had excellent knowledge and experience with many of the condos in Toronto. Without Robyn, we wouldn’t be living in our dream condo right now (no exaggeration).

Robyn is honest, easy to talk to and always on your side. She went above and beyond our expectations and always did it with a smile on her face.

If you’re looking for a realtor to find you your dream home, search no further.

Thanks for everything Robyn!

Kitty Chan is an amazing real estate agent. We were very lucky to work with her. She gave us very useful advice in the beginning of the process on what documents to have ready before we even started looking at places to rent.

Kitty worked with the landlords' agents on our behalf and prepped all necessary documents in a very professional and timely manner. She walked me through all the documents and explained what they were and why they were needed, which was very useful for someone from the US trying to rent an apartment in Toronto for the first time.

Kitty was very patient and accommodating during apartment showings as well, as I myself couldn't be there. All in all, she made this process as smooth as it can be. So, I highly recommend her services!

I had Brenda's team recommended to me by a friend who had a very positive experience with her working at my building some years ago.

From the first moment my wife and I were introduced to Brenda and Kitty, we immediately were impressed with their portfolio of earlier sold properties and by their recommendations on how they would propose to market our property for fast sale and hopefully, for the price we would be happy with.

They made several correct suggestions for us to make minor renovations and when we agreed, they immediately provided the trades to perform the repairs which were fast and nicely done within a week.

Afterwards, they staged the property with their furniture.
As a result we had 53 showings in one week as well as received 10 (ten!) offers; we have selected the best one; it was sold in ONE week! And at a higher price than we expected!

KItty and Brenda were communicating and advising on every step we had to take at any given moment of the sale process. Another member of their team, Robyn, was very helpful in taking us through legal and any sale related issues.

We are enormously pleased with this wonderful team of real professionals.

The sale of the property is a very important step and having such a solid and experienced team guiding you through every step is a fantastic help one can only hope for! We recommend Brenda's team anytime to anyone!

We are giving Brenda's team the mark they deserve, the highest mark: FIVE stars!!!

Thank you so very very much!

We CANNOT give enough praise for Robyn and Brenda! We are first-time owners, and Robyn and Brenda were everything we could have hoped for (and more!) in making the experience a smooth one with no additional surprises. We worked primarily with Robyn. She was upfront, honest, incredibly hard-working and committed, and did not shy away from playing hardball on our behalf when needed. We were very comfortable communicating our wants and dislikes with her, and we found the perfect condo within two days of site visits. Within two weeks of that, we negotiated and finalized an offer. It's a year later and we still could not be happier! We are incredibly grateful to Robyn and Brenda. When the time comes, we will definitely use their services again! Thank you!

We had a fantastic experience with this team and particularly our agent Robyn Muise.  Robyn truly went above and beyond to find us the condo we were looking for, even writing a letter outlining which units we were interested in and distributing them throughout our preferred building.  Being in BC, I thought it would be very stressful to buy property in Ontario but Robyn and the team made the process seamless and effortless.  Highly recommend! 

We interviewed quite a few agents before we landed with the Brenda Grant team, and we were glad we made the decision to partner with them. They knew our area, the market, and the process inside out, and they worked with our constraints to build a strategy to best fit our needs and situation.

They are a versatile team who don't over-promise, but instead set realistic expectations and over-deliver.

For us it also took only 8 days from contracting the Brenda Grant team, to selling our home with a great price (3 days to stage, paint, repair, and 5 days on the market), with a very short notice, and despite the changing market conditions.

It was a pleasure to work with Brenda, Robyn, and Grace from the team, highly recommended for anyone who's in the market to sell, and if the opportunity presents itself, would love to work with this team again in the future as well.

Highly recommended.
My wife and I have been working with Brenda for a number of years, after meeting her via a recommendation from a friend.

Since then, Brenda and her team have provided the full spectrum of support and expertise, from renting and finding great tenants, to eventually selling our property for the price we were looking for.

Brenda and her team are responsive, keep to their commitments, think many steps ahead, and continually go above and beyond.

As I live in the US, Brenda and her team were our trusted eyes and ears on the ground in Toronto. They have helped us navigate through complexities and always kept our best interests a priority.

My wife and I had been thinking of purchasing an investment property for several months. Early this year we contacted Brenda and were very impressed by her thorough knowledge of the real estate market, acute awareness of properties we’d be interested in and her attention to detail.

Brenda and her team first explained and then walked us through all the pros and cons of a buying new versus resale investment property. Members of her team were very professional, got back to us quickly with property ideas and listings, and then followed up with us promptly whenever we needed help. We couldn’t be happier with Brenda or her team. Brenda is a dynamo; she has amazing energy and is passionate about getting the best deal for her clients. We are so proud to have her as our agent and recommend her to everyone we know!

At the end of November I used Kitty Chan who is part of the Brenda Grant Realty team to help me find a tenant to rent a house in Don Mills. She went beyond all my expectations. Brenda knew how to price the rental. Two days after it was listed she found a wonderful couple, did a thorough background check and completed all the paperwork. She was so professional and pleasant through the whole process. Brenda did a great job helping my daughter find a beautiful condo as well. I will definitely use her for all my future real estate needs

Writing to let you know, how much we appreciate you referring us to Brenda.

Brenda and her colleague Robyn were amazingly professional, caring, helping, skillful in negotiations, always available, understanding and patient through our process of buying a home. Brenda even accommodated us on a long weekend- on her husbands birthday, when we were in Toronto to see the house. Robyn made sure all the loose ends were tied and got the inspection done under her watchful eyes in a timely manner.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Brenda and Robyn to anyone who comes to us for recommendations.

Thank you again Brenda and Robyn! 

Dear Brenda:

I can't thank you enough for your kindness, compassion and practical help in getting me settled into my new life. It was such a bumpy road and I always felt you had my best interests at heart. You are extremely good at what you do. Your persistence paid off well in the end. I will definitely be calling you if I decide to buy again and will refer you to everyone I know!

Thanks again for everything!

Dear Brenda:

Thank you so much for selling Mum’s condo. After her demise. I was really impressed with the way you handled everything for me. I had never had to deal with a real estate agent prior to this. I had absolutely no idea as to what was involved or how to go about this. Your newsletter that came to the house and the fact you lived in my area led me to using you. I am so glad that I did as from the very first meeting I felt comfortable dealing with you as you explained everything to me and also went the extra mile in preparing for the sale. Things that would never have occurred to me. You treated me as a friend and I felt you had my best interest at heart at all times. I would certainly recommend you to anyone I know is interested at buying or selling real estate.  

Yours very truly,

To Whom it May Concern:

Selling my condo in Toronto could have been very complex and stressful as I was living in Los Angeles at the time, and had a fully furnished condo with a tenant. But Brenda went above and beyond to make it as seamless and easy as possible, including dealing with the condo property manager, the tenant, and the property manager I hired to manage the tenant. She took care of all the details, including many I did not even think of, that I could not have done being out of the country. And she provided excellent strategic advice on setting the asking price (based on her knowledge of the market and Annex neighbourhood) and negotiating the final sale. The process and end result were fantastic and I could not have done it without her!

Dear Brenda,

It has been over 30 years since we have had to think of buying or selling a house.  Making the decision to move was a very big one for us at this stage in our lives.  We needed someone who would understand the emotions involved and be able to have the respect and professionalism to help us with this decision.

We were so very pleased to have found you and have you list our home.  You were thoughtful, understanding, you listened to us and you showed the respect for our home that we wanted in an agent.

You worked so very hard for us – marketing our home in the paper, through the flyers you personally delivered to many homes in our area,  walking around our streets late at night in the cold weather to make sure everyone knew of the open house, contacting other agents and agencies.  You answered every phone call and e-mail from us promptly – even if they were trivial questions.  

Your professionalism and patience was always evident, especially when the offers were being made on our home.  

If you should ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to contact us.  We would be more than pleased to tell everyone how wonderful you are not only as a real estate agent but also as a person.  

You truly are exceptional and we will be forever grateful to you.

With very special kind regards,

Jennifer & Graham Bentley

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. 

Regards,

All agents are not created equal. I see many more bad ones than good ones. Brenda, in my humble opinion, is firmly positioned in what I would consider to be the cream of the crop of agents. I would unequivocally recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a professional agent who knows her stuff and will go the extra mile to provide exceptional customer service. You will definitely not be disappointed with your choice.

Gary Ferguson

Dear Brenda:

We really appreciate that, throughout the process of selling our house, you acted in a very professional manner but we both feel that you went far beyond that in dealing with us. You spent a great deal of time advising us and shepherding us through an experience we have never encountered before.

Over the past year, you have kept us up to date and optimistic during a very topsy turvy market. We are both very pleased with the final result of the sale - the price we realized and the short period for closing - which were both due to your negotiating skills and expertise. 

Yours sincerely,

Diana and Larry Payton

Dear Brenda:

I just want to thank you for doing a superb job in representing me in the selling of my friend's house.  My friend died and I am her executrix.  She was like a second mother to me so this was overwhelming for many reasons not the least of which was the emotional side of things.   I have to admit I felt pretty green going in. The lawyer for the estate recommended you to me and friends urged me to consult other agents to do comparisons.  I did consult other agents but I didn't feel the chemistry I felt when I met you.  I just knew in my heart that you were the person who had the understanding, the professionalism, and experience to guide me through this.  I felt that you went above and beyond in all aspects.  You did an outstanding job of explaining everything to me, staging the house and, of course, selling it in record time. The house was listed for 1 week and sold for well above the asking price.  I would recommend you to anyone who was either buying or selling a property.  They just have to listen to you, sit back and let you take the lead.  

Again many thanks.

Dear Seller/Buyer:

We initially contacted Brenda looking for an estimate of our home's current market value. Brenda very graciously met with us and prepared a very detailed comparison of the recent sales in our area.  She totally understood that we were "empty nesters", and not really wanting to down size, yet she took the time to politely answer all of our questions. Brenda suggested that if we wanted to keep an eye out for what was happening in the Condo Market in our preferred locations, she could send us the listings and if we were curious enough to want to see any of the units, to just let her know.

We expected that it would take years to find a suitable property.  But, to our complete amazement we found one within two months of beginning our "search"; and Brenda sold our home within one week.

We were never made to feel that we were imposing on her time.  Brenda always made herself available, almost instantly, even when she was on personal vacation time; and never left us wanting for any assistance. She stood by our side and guided us through the entire buy and sell process.  We listened to her advice all the way.  Her decorator and photographer did a super amazing job for us. They were bang on.

We would and have recommended Brenda and her team in a heart beat.  She will "Grant your realty wishes".

The office team produced many lovely documents for the sale of our home and the contact team were always so very polite and pleasant to speak with. We are thrilled to have chosen Brenda Grant and her team.  Most importantly, the stress was at a bear minimum and she was bang on with all of her advise.

Thanks to Brenda we are now moving on.

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.

Regards,

Paul and Sheila Burgess.
