Brendan Powell's Reviews

I worked with Mel and Brendan to both purchase a house and sell my condo – all within 6 weeks! With the intense bidding wars all too common in Toronto, we needed to move quickly and the Brel team was there every step of the way – quickly providing guidance, comparables, and settling on a […]

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 […]

Eric B. | Buyer | 02.23.16

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 […]

Tyler & Tara | Buyer | 02.23.16

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

Maggie & Rudy | Buyer | 02.01.16

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 […]

Emer M. | Buyer | 02.01.16

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 […]

Ayesha S. | Seller | 01.01.16

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 […]

Sarah B. | Buyer | 01.01.16

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 […]

Neha K. | Seller | 01.01.16

Brendan and Melanie helped us find our first home. When we started, we did not even know what we wanted (a house, a condo, so many questions). But Brendan and Melanie guided us through every step of the process and were there for us when we needed them. Both Brendan and Melanie are extremely knowledgeable […]

I am going writing this review of BREL because they are a phenomenal real estate group, I want them to do well, and I think that anyone who is taking the time to look through real estate reviews should just stop now and make a decision to use them. With BREL’s help, my fiancee and […]

Kent R. | Buyer | 05.13.15

The BREL team, especially Brendan and Melanie, make the impossible seem effortless. Relocating across the country is a difficult task, even if you plan months ahead. So we were beyond stressed out when we had to put our downtown Toronto town home on the market, pack up our lives, and fly to Vancouver in less […]

Wilhelm & Maya V. | Buyer | 05.06.15

The BREL team were an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time sellers, we had a lot of questions and the customer service they provided was great answering every little question we had and making us feel comfortable through the whole journey. They closed the deal for us in the time period they said […]

Greg & Caroline P. | Buyer | 05.05.15

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, […]

Marlo D. | Buyer | 04.28.15

Navigating the craziness of the Toronto Real Estate market is hard enough, doing so while raising 2 young children makes it that much more challenging. From our first meeting with Melanie and Brendan several years ago, we knew we were in good hands and working with the best. They were on hand anytime to answer […]

Patricia & Moe C. | Buyer | 04.24.15

Selling a condo in Toronto is a serious matter that requires professional expertise and hard work. BREL Team – Melanie and Brendan – are second to no one on Toronto real estate market. Their service is impeccable in all respects: planning, execution, communication, and customer care. We tried to sell our condo across Roger’s Centre […]

Maryanne L. | Buyer | 03.29.15

I honestly can’t imagine buying a house without the BREL Team in my corner. Seriously…they’re that good. It’s stressful enough just deciding to buy a house and having the process go so smoothly was a blessing. Both Melanie and Brendan were so well prepared at every step of the way, it could do nothing but […]

Sean & Catherine | Buyer | 03.24.15

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 […]

Umair Q. | Seller | 03.13.15

We are so grateful for the support we received from the BREL team as we navigated the craziness of the Toronto real estate market. From listing our waterfront condo to purchasing our dream home in a Swansea/High Park bidding scenario, we benefited from Brendan, Melanie and Mike’s collective experience and the unique insights they each […]

Nadine & Ryan | Seller | 03.06.15

The results speak for themselves: a house we loved but thought we couldn’t get, bought under asking price,well below market value, in a competitive bidding situation. That would be enough for me to recommend Brendan and Mel and the BREL team. But it is the whole process, from beginning to post-close that makes them truly […]

Dylan & Louise. | Buyer | 02.23.15

As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily for me I found the BREL team, who who managed to be there whenever I needed them and answer all my questions along the way. Brendan is great fun and knows his stuff. You will love looking at random places […]

Allison P. | Buyer | 02.23.15

I recently used Mel and Brandon to sell my townhouse in the King West area. I would highly recommend this dynamic duo if you’re looking for agents who understand the real estate market, who do an excellent job at marketing your property, who make the process as easy and pain free as possible, who are […]

Shari K. | Buyer | 02.20.15

It is really hard to get a good real estate agent, but there is no worry as long as Brendan and his team are there. We are so glad that my husband and I met Brendan. Our experience with him was very pleasant as he is so professional, he rented out our unit just in […]

Seayda & Shafiul I. | Buyer | 02.18.15

Being a first time home buyer can be a little overwhelming at times, but Brendan, Mel and the whole BREL Team were absolutely fantastic in educating us, managing our expectations, and letting us know what to expect when it was time to put an offer in on a house. They are extremely knowledgeable and were […]
