Brendan Powell's Reviews

This was our second time working with the BREL Team (specifically Brendan and Mel). We didn’t think it was possible, but they were even better to work with the second time around. From their knowledge of the market to their marketing materials and staging- they are pros.

The BREL team helped us find our High Park home 2 years ago & we recently worked with them again to sell the same home (we are moving across Canada). Both experiences were amazing.

Angelo C. | Seller | 07.20.17

When we found BREL it was like a wish come true. Their full-service packaging (planning, scheduling, staging, recommendations, cleaning, etc) was what we needed, and the amazing positive energy they brought to our table just sealed the deal. We knew we’d be in good hands with them working for us.

Melanie M. | Buyer | 05.24.17

Brendan and his team came to my rescue (repeatedly!) on a very quirky (i.e. complicated) condo sale that came with its fair share of challenges. I’m grateful for their thoughtful guidance at every stage, and especially for the time that Brendan took to really talk things through (including at 11pm on a Saturday night when […]

Everyone on the BREL Team was amazing to work with. Each and every person we dealt with was committed to our sale and made us feel like we were client number one.

Andy H. | Seller | 05.01.17

The BREL team exceeded our expectations on multiple levels. They have mastered the art of working as a team, which is why the process of selling our condo was so smooth. They staged our property beautifully and had it sold in a few days. They are confident, yet modest, and work diligently to ensure that their clients are happy with the end result.

Shabana J. | Seller | 03.02.17

I want to share a big thank you to Brendan the BREL team! This was my first condo purchase and had no idea what I was doing but Brendan was full of knowledge and helped me out a ton! I will definitely be contacting you in the future! Thanks again!

Mark A. | Buyer | 02.28.17

The BREL team helped us find our Toronto High Park dream home 2 years ago and we recently worked with them again to sell the same home (we are moving across Canada). Both experiences were amazing. Being the sellers this time, we had a chance to experience all of the services offered by BREL. They […]

Lindsay & Angelo | Seller | 02.06.17

The BREL team helped us buy our house in Etobicoke and we were very impressed with their service. They were referred to us by friends who had worked with them in the past, and BREL definitely lived up to expectations. BREL were very knowledgeable of the neighborhoods. This gave us confidence when we had to […]

Sean R. | Buyer | 12.07.16

I’m not surprised at all that the BREL team has perfect reviews across the board — they exceeded our expectations in every single way throughout the entire process of selling our old place and buying a new one.

Tarek | Buyer & Seller | 10.27.16

We had the good fortune of being referred to Melanie and Brendan for the sale of our house. They are a truly excellent team. They are not only very friendly and easy to talk to, but amazingly efficient, available and professional. They helped us to make a potentially very stressful experience a lot less so […]

A.M | Seller | 11.14.16

Brendan, Giulia and the entire team at BREL were so incredible to work with. They helped us find our dream home in just a couple of weeks. Even in this crazy Toronto market! I was so impressed with their knowledge and advice. They were always available to help and give us guidance whenever we needed […]

Janine A. | Buyer | 11.04.16

I worked with the BREL Team on the sale of my condo and the purchase of our new home and I FULLY recommend their services. The BREL Team is like a well oiled machine. Everything just clicks so well together. They did a FANTASTIC job of marketing my condo for the sale, from the cleaners […]

Tony R. | Buyer & Seller | 10.27.16

Brendan, Mel and the entire Brel team were amazing to work with during our first home buying experience. Brendan was knowledgable, honest, patient and always available. He works around the clock to provide great service to his clients. Even in the daunting Toronto market, Brendan made our experience fun, positive and rewarding. With his guidance, […]

Caitlin R. | Buyer | 10.12.16

Working with Melanie, Brendan, and the BREL team (with shoutouts to Lianne, Jim, the electrician, the domestic engineers, and the movers and shakers behind the scenes) could be as close as real life gets to how Cinderella must have felt when she was mobilized by her coachman, her fairy godmother, and supported by her loyal […]

Ian & Jann R. | Seller | 09.26.16

We recently sold our downtown condo with the distinguished help of Brendan and Mel. Their expertise and connections to any and every service you may need are outstanding. The process was easy, seamless and even a little bit of fun! Our condo sold so quickly that it barely interrupted our day to day activities.Brendan and […]

Liz & Jerome | Seller | 09.20.16

My Brother and I would like to thank the BREL team of Sage Real Estate for all their work and time on selling our mother’s long time home. Melanie Piche and Brendan Powell gave us very personal attention and it felt like they were spending all their time on our property only. We suddenly had […]

Mike R. | Seller | 07.11.16

Mel and Brendan have been exceptional in helping us find and purchase our first condo in downtown Toronto. Having dealt with numerous agents in search of rental properties in the past, I can easily say that the BREL team was by far the most helpful, capable, and provided the overall best experience. They’re honest and […]

Serguei & Sandra | Buyer | 03.15.16

We spent several months finding a new home, and we found the BREL team (mainly Brendan, but also Mike, Mel, and Giulia) to be extremely helpful throughout, both in the search for a home and in the (crazy Toronto) process of actually purchasing one. If you’re looking for exceptional, personal service, you should definitely give […]

Zeb & Rebecca | Buyer | 05.13.16

My husband and I bought our first house together through the Brel team, and we had a wonderful experience working with them. We primarily worked with Aprile, who was incredible. She was always looking out for best interests; was never pushing for a sell; gave her honest opinion about homes, let us take our time […]

Chloe and Mike | Buyer | 06.17.16

Just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you! ….I started out with townhouses in mind because I could only envision me with all my furniture moving back to the city. I think Brendan got it before I did why I would not be satisfied with a cookie cutter townhouse and it wasn’t only […]

Tracy P. | Buyer | 05.27.16

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the BREL team! Brendan and Mel took the reins with selling our condo so all we had to do was stay out of the way; they got us a lot more than we expected and the entire process was barely a ripple in our lives 🙂 Giulia helped us land […]

Helen H. | Buyer | 06.03.16

Brendan and Mel went above and beyond to help us find a home. Smart, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

Sonya & Claire | Buyer | 04.26.16

We recently worked with the BREL team (Mel and Brendan specifically) to sell our Leslieville Townhouse. We were very impressed with the marketing materials, staging, and candid advice from Mel and Brendan. We consider ourselves challenging to work with at times, and we wanted to make a significant profit on this sale. Mel and Brendan […]
