Kristin Shensel's Reviews

I didn’t think it was possible to feel pampered while moving, but the BREL team took care of everything. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

We recently sold our house with BREL/Sage and had a wonderful experience. Kristin was great at explaining the process and answering any questions we had. The staging made the house look like it was out of a magazine ad, the photographs were high quality, and the marketing hit a variety of websites and social platforms. […]

In this difficult market, I could not be happier with the end result. A beautiful home, that meets almost all the criteria we established at the beginning of our search.

We reached out to Kristin to help us with the sale of our condo and find us something larger. From our first meeting with Kristin, we were immediately impressed and got the feeling that this is someone who would look out for our best interests – and we weren’t wrong! We started the process with […]

We are very happy with the services of BREL. We were referred to work with Kristin – she is an excellent agent. As first time buyers, Kristin went out of her way to answer our 101 questions, and was genuine in her approach to helping us find we are looking for. Highly knowledgeable, trustworthy and […]

My wife and I worked with Kristin Shensel on the sale of our downtown condo and it was a big success! With our first baby arriving in just a few weeks, we needed someone to expedite and take charge of the sale for us. Kristin did exactly that. She was professional, friendly, honest, punctual, very […]

I had a great experience working with the BREL team! Kristin Shensel was leading my case but all of them were extremely helpful and drove me around for many days until she found me the right house. The thing that I appreciate the most about Kristin, Melanie and Brandan is that she would always tell […]

Our first-time home buying experience was memorable, to say the least! We hired Kristin and Giulia after things didn’t work out with our first agent. Were it not for Kristin and Giulia’s utmost professionalism and determination, we would probably still be searching for the perfect property. They were always available when we needed them. They […]

My husband I were looking to buy a second property – a condo – in Toronto to be closer to my husbands office. Even though we’ve bought property before this is the first time it was a second residence. We researched agent reviews online and decided to give the BREL team a call. Kristin was […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It has been such a pleasure to get to know Kristin! Through her, I found a wonderful, gem-of-a-rental that suits me perfectly. Kristin was well-informed about Toronto’s rental market, professional and courteous at all times, and very helpful while I navigated viewings, leases, and negotiations. I recommend her and the BREL Team highly.

My fiancee and I recently moved from Ottawa to Toronto and found ourselves completely lost when looking for an apartment. Kristin went out of her way to help us navigate the market and even went to showings on our behalf while we were still in Ottawa, saving us multiple trips to Toronto. She was able […]

Kristin was tremendous in helping us find our dream rental! Her professional support and advice made apartment hunting a pleasure. Kristin was professional, friendly, and motivated. She was extremely knowledgeable of the market and considerate of our all of needs. She went above and beyond our expectations by scheduling meetings at our convenience, after work […]

We had a great experience with Kristin from the BREL team.  We moved to Toronto from Bangkok and didn’t know much about the city before we got here. Kristin took the time to get to know a bit about us and what we were looking for before lining up a few apartments for us to […]

Kristin, thank you so much for helping us find an awesome condo in Toronto. We (and the cats!) are settling in and the place is perfect! You were fantastic to work with – so patient, honest and friendly – and we really appreciated all the time you spent with us and all the advice you […]

Hi Kristin – just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for helping us with the apartment. We’re all moved in now and loving it here! My previous landlord is currently looking to rent my old apartment. I hope you don’t mind me passing along your name to him. Not sure what he […]

Good afternoon Brendan and Melanie: I wanted to write you today about my experience working with Kristin Shensel. I initially put in a web request for more information on April 14th (did a Google search and found your site) and that same night Kristin reached out to offer her assistance. From that point on she […]

I was referred to the BREL team by friends who found them on yelp and had rave reviews about their professionalism, knowledge and expertise. Once I was ready to leap into the real estate market and buy my own condo, I called up Brendan and was met with such professionalism. Working with the BREL team, […]

As someone who recently relocated to Toronto from New York (via Vancouver), the BREL team far surpassed my expectations and then some. Specifically, Kristin Shensel is skilled, professional, attentive and reliable. She described each unit in detail and held my hand step-by-step since I was skeptical after 10 years of unreliable brokers and hidden fees […]

Thanks for everything Kristin. You are such a PRO!! Again, I so appreciate the consideration, attention to detail and patience you have demonstrated.  Despite the fact you were working under pressure, you always managed to make a stressful situation bearable! I would never have survived without you. Thanks for enabling me to always keep the faith. I’ll be in […]

As a first-time seller, bringing Brendan and the BREL team on board to sell my condominium was probably the best decision I could have made. They made what could have been a confounding and frustrating experience into a relatively painless one. From the start, Brendan and Mel brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to […]
