We purchased our first home with the help of the Brel team. We worked with Brendan primarily, but also worked with Mike Lind, who covered when Brendan was away (the “team” means we would never miss out on a listing!). Both Brendan and Mike were excellent to work with. They answered all our questions quickly […]

Our family just relocated from overseas back to Toronto and given all the bidding wars going on in the Toronto core area we wanted to quickly identify houses that fit our needs and potentially avoid any competition in a house purchase. Brendan and Melanie were very responsive on a timely basis, willing to take calls […]

We would like to share our gratification to Kathy Essery and Pavlena Brown from The Brel Team for their outstanding performance. We have just sold with them our home in the upper Bloor West Village. Both Kathy and Pavlena are seasoned professionals with extensive knowledge about real estate and specifically Bloor West Village. They had […]

My wife and I recently worked with BREL to find our first home in Toronto. The Toronto market was grueling and we fought through multiple bidding wars over a six month period before finding our home. The BREL team was with us the entire time, always available to coach us through the process and offer […]

Matthew Shapiro from the BREL Team was an absolute pleasure to deal with – we highly recommend him, and the entire BREL Team to others.  Our experience could not be more positive.  At every turn, Matthew kept our best intentions in mind and always advised us as he would his own family member. Since we […]

Right from the beginning, Dena was so organized and quick to provide so many options and tailor the search to my preferences. Moreover, she was always quick to respond and I always knew that I could count on her to take care of all of the details. Despite the often cold and windy weather, it […]

Brendan and Melanie! We couldn’t have experienced a better level of consultation and servicing than what we received from you. You are true professionals and we were SO pleased to have worked with you. We look forward to our next purchase with you! Best, Maggie and Rudy

Everyone I dealt with at BREL (or getwhatyouwant) was great, especially Brendan and Melanie. Really like that they didn’t try to lock me into any exclusive contract like other agents. They consistently sent listings in the range and area I was interested and when I was ready to make a serious offer they were there […]

My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with the BREL team. The time came when we needed to sell our first home. Based on their excellent YELP reviews we decided to “interview” BREL. Melanie and Kristin met us at our house and clearly and concisely laid out their process. We knew right […]

I was overwhelmed with my search for rental properties in Toronto, as was unfamiliar with the city and all it’s different areas!! Dena, from the BREL Team, was so helpful and really gave me a great rundown of the city. She was so available for the entire process, arranged a quick meeting, and I think […]

Dena Shiff is an efficient, honest, and caring person–it was a pleasure to rent a house with her as my agent. She was very responsive and called, emailed, or texted back just minutes after I posed a question or expressed concern, on a back-and-forth situation with the landlord that went on for several days. I […]

I recently decided to sell my 2 bedroom condo in downtown Toronto and I searched online for the best downtown Toronto realtors and called the top 3 I found. When I spoke with Melanie over the phone and she and Brendan came to our place for the initial consult I was impressed with their genuineness […]

We had such a great experience working with Brendan and Mel to sell our King West condo this past spring. We knew our unit was unique and desirable, but after just having our second child, we were bursting at the seams and it definitely needed some “work” to get it looking it’s best. The staging […]

I had to sell my place pretty quickly for a move to the US and Brendan/Mel made it super easy.They were up front and very honest with their advice and communicated very regularly so I knew where everything was tracking – the whole team is actually very friendly and professional, including the staging team, without […]

Dena was very friendly and did an outstanding job at keeping us updated and going out of her way to ensure that we get what we want. Highly recommend!

Dena Shiff is amazing! We are a family of three adults, who really needed help finding a centrally-located home to rent in Toronto’s West end. We had certain requirements, preferred search boundaries and a serious sense of urgency. Unfortunately we found ourselves needing to secure a new place before Christmas, in order to move mid-January. […]

I was moving from out-of-town to Toronto for a new job and had to find a place quickly. Matthew Shapiro of the BREL team was quick to respond and incredibly helpful in setting up a number of apartment viewings on the same day. With his assistance, by the end of the day, and after looking […]

My wife and I are moving to Toronto this week. I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with Dena Shiff – she has helped us rent a condo Downtown. Dena has been so attentive and prompt in emailing us rental options, and was really helpful when it came to securing the rental […]

We are so happy that we chose to have Mike sell our home. Immediately after meeting him we got the sense that he was very trustworthy and had our best interest at heart. He came prepared with a lot of information about our area and similar houses. Other agents we interviewed came empty handed and […]

Moving from Belgium to Canada with two small children is quite daunting for any family and trying to look for an apartment/house in a place where you have NO IDEA is really scary. Kristin has been our angel-in-disguise and helped us find a great house in the cutest neighbourhood in our budget. She not only […]

Good Evening, I just wanted to send a quick note to say Dena did an excellent job and found me a perfect condo to lease! She was very professional and helpful (I’m a first time renter so I needed lots of help!!) Thanks, Tyson L.

Working with Kristin was extremely convenient and a pleasure. Having trouble renting out my unit as I am an overseas investor and am not on the ground to chase up potential tenants, I opted to use the professional services provided by the firm. Extremely professional and fast, had a solid option of tenants in a […]
