Reasons I loved working with Brendan and Mel: They are busy (good sign), but were prompt in their replies to all my questions. As a first-time home buyer I appreciated their honesty, clarity in explaining things, and understanding of what I was looking for. It’s obvious they enjoy their work and are total professionals – […]

What can I say except it was great to have Brendan, Mel, and Jia as our guides buying a home for the first time in Toronto or anywhere else for that matter. They were informative, patient and knowledgeable. Our deal spanned 4 countries at one point and they kept everything moving with the use of […]

We probably aren’t the easiest client for Brendan and Melanie. Living as an expatriate outside of Canada for over 10 years, when we finally decided it was time to invest in Canadian property, despite being Canadian, the transaction was treated as that of a non-resident. Being out of Canada for so long meant that we […]

Moving to Toronto from a small BC town, I was completely overwhelmed by the size and speed of the market. I knew I was going to need some help finding a condo to rent, especially because I wasn’t familiar with the city. To top it all off, I was only in town for 1 week […]

Matt, I can’t express how appreciative I am for your services. As a second time homebuyer, I know I was a picky and discriminating buyer. However, your patience, enthusiasm and efforts ultimately resulted in this discerning buyer finally finding the perfect condo after 45 viewings in the span of only 2 months! Furthermore, you went […]

My wife and I enjoyed working with Mr. Matthew Shapiro simply because he made our experience in searching for the right property nice and smooth, there was no pressure, he was really working for us unlike other agents where they make you feel like they are doing you a favour by showing you properties. He […]

I really enjoyed working with Brendan and Mel while purchasing my first home! They were incredibly knowledgeable of the Toronto real estate market, and really helped to provide peace of mind throughout the whole process. Easy to talk to and always ready with sound advice. I’d recommend the BREL to anyone looking to buy in […]

Brendan and Mel brought an unexpected ease to looking for housing as my wife and I were preparing to move from Vancouver to Toronto. They understood how to get to the core of our lifestyle needs when moving to a new city and found us the perfect neighbourhood that ended up being a great fit […]

Mel and Brendan were excellent throughout the entire selling procedure. They started with a thorough outline of what to expect from their services and the local real estate market. They then took us through a strategic process in order to determine the best market price for a quick and profitable sale. And all this done […]

The Brel team are amazing realtors! Melanie Piché and Brendan Powell helped us throughout the process of our home hunting and purchase. Initially we weren’t in the position of buying but wanted to see what was out there. Melanie and Brendan showed us potential properties, without any pressure to buy, and explained what we should […]

Just bought a cool loft with BREL. They were fantastic at organizing the whole process. They helped us to refine what type of place we were looking for and in what neighborhood; they handled all the showings with ease; their blogs helped us to prepare for the bidding process; they introduced us to a range […]

We loved working with this team! Jonathan and I wanted to take our time, to look for our special place in a pretty specific neighbourhood. Mel and Brendan took the time to get to know us and our tastes and suggested only those listings they thought we’d be very interested in. Because of this, we […]

Brendan and Mel are a great team.  If you are looking for the perfect place to call home – look no further. We enjoyed our experience working with this fab team – Mel is a great strategist and negotiator. She also has a great sense of the market. She is able to walk through a […]

What can I say about the Bren and Mel team? Love them! Super laid back, down to earth, not to mention very knowledgeable about the Toronto real estate market. Totally first-time-home-buyer friendly! I specially appreciated their level of professionalism during the offer and acceptance period when I was out of the country in Cuba with […]

The BREL team were an absolute pleasure to work with; I managed to find a fantastic apartment with minimal fuss and stress. They went above and beyond what was expected to help with my relocation from the UK.

Hi Matthew, I can’t thank you enough for finding us a beautiful place within our budget. I would say, I was skeptical of buying a place prior to meeting you. I didn’t realize it will be smooth sailing with you guiding us thru the whole process. With your expertise, hard work and going beyond our […]

From the start Mel and Brendan “got” us. They heard our needs, desires and must haves, added their knowledge and experience to the mix and we got what we wanted – a hip loft space in the heart of the City. Having recently relocated from Vancouver, we valued their savvy perspective on the Toronto market. […]

We wanted to thank you for being so professional and easy to work with. Your help in purchasing our investment property. Then the task of acquiring tenants for us through listing, advertising and screening all the interested candidates was a tremendous amount of work and we are so appreciative of your help. We hope to […]

I am writing this letter to show my appreciation for everything that you’ve done for my family. As a first time home buyer, I was very skeptical of the whole process that goes into purchasing a home as I’ve heard countless of horror stories. However, I knew you had our best interests when we first […]

In a matter of sixteen days, I listed and sold my condo (over asking) and bought a duplex through Mel & Brendan. They made the process easy and enjoyable.  Their expertise always steered me in the right direction.  I have no hesitation in recommending their services.  I have dealt with a number of real estate […]

As first time home buyers the BREL team took our property virginities in the most gentle of ways. They were smart, knowledgeable and knew exactly what we were looking for in the bedroom, and all other rooms in the house. We’ll never be able to recreate the feeling of the first time, but we’re hoping […]

Mel and Brendan are true experts and an amazing team.  What’s great is that I was able to bounce my ideas off both of them and their different perspectives really helped in making decisions that were right for me in a surprisingly short period of time.  I was highly impressed with how quickly they earned […]
