As a first time homebuyer, the process of acquiring a house is daunting. Of course as someone new to the experience, you would do your due diligence to understand, learn and prepare, as to how to purchase a house before you take that plunge. I tried to take in, absorb and digest all the information I could, and yet, since it is all to overwhelming for an amateur who does not work in the field of real estate, some details will be missed. One of the things I appreciate with my encounter with Rachelle and Ed (which I also deem essential), is that even before they ask you the type of house/condo you are looking for (Do you want a condo with a balcony? Do you want a house with a white picket fence?), they take the time to sit you down and explain the reality of the Housing Market. With their inside intel, they give you an overview of how the Market is, and the trends that come along with it. As owning a house would probably be the biggest financial decision one takes, talking to Rachelle and Ed eases that apprehension, that sense of dread, as the more information you acquire, the better it is that you can make an informed decision about your situation.

And so, like many others before me, Rachelle and Ed became my realtors. As I said before, Rachelle, Ed and I hunkered down and devised a strategy or game plan that best suited my needs and what it was I was looking for. At first I thought, going out with them to look at properties would be all business like, rigid and firm. To my surprise, it turned out to be more like casual yet professional, flexible and supportive, more like going out with friends and having a discussion with your best interest in mind. With the Housing Market as ridiculous as it was at that time, making a decision to put an offer on a property was intimidating. As the Market was highly competitive even with its exorbitant prices, there exists a time limit or deadline associated with each property that you view, thereby putting more pressure on you to make that decision. In my head the What If scenarios started to unfold. What if I pass on this opportunity and don't find another property like it, or what if I commit to this property now and find another one that better caters to my needs in the next few days. With Rachelle and Ed's understanding, guidance and patience, as elusive as it was, we finally found, the One.

At this point, I would love to have ended with, "and they lived happily ever after", but it was not the case. Getting to finalize the acquisition of the property had some setbacks not because of Rachelle and Ed, but to put it gently, the other party involved was playing hardball at that stage of the process. So Rachelle and Ed stepped up, and were relentless. In the end, Rachelle and Ed took the initiative and compromised, so that they could fulfill their promise, their commitment, their dedication.

I was planning on writing a review about Rachelle and Ed, but instead, I ended up writing my personal experience working with them. I guess, words alone are not enough to describe the degree of commitment they have for their clients, as Rachelle would often tell me, "Ed and I are in your team, and we will always be in your corner". With Rachelle and Ed's help, now that evertyhing has settled, I owe it to them to make this house a home.

Hi Edward & Love Your home team,

My family and I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the exceptional service you provided throughout our search for a rental home. Being new to Canada, we were unfamiliar with the process of renting an apartment, and your guidance was invaluable. From the very beginning, you went above and beyond to assist us, not only by finding suitable apartment but also by offering us rides to viewings, which was incredibly helpful since we don't have a car.

Your dedication and hard work made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and we are thrilled with the home we found thanks to your efforts. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful for your support. Truly, a 5 star rating is not enough to describe how appreciative we are of your help.

Thank you once again for everything!

Rachelle and Ed helped our family sell our condo and walked us through one of the most difficult sellers market in history. We put our trust and faith in their hands and they went above and beyond every step of the way! Love you guys! Super excited to move into out new space!

Thank you Rachelle and Ed for helping us with our home sale and purchase!

We are extremely grateful to have them on our team through a very important milestone in our lives. They were very patient, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the whole journey. They put us first every step of the way and were willing to go above and beyond to help us; they booked showings for us on the same day to give us an edge, they were keen to understand what we were looking for to get us our dream home, and even helped us build furniture when we needed it most. Big big thank you!

On top of that, we can fully trust Rachelle and Ed to have our best interest in mind during the buying and selling process. We are extremely excited about the value we got from both the sales and purchase of our new home. Rachelle and Ed's tireless work and always putting us first has given us the financial flexibility to build our dream home!
Most importantly, Rachelle and Ed made the whole journey very fun, enjoyable, and with lots of laughter (which really helps when making such a big decision!).

We whole-heartedly appreciate every big and small thing they have done for us! Thank you again!

We highly recommend Rachelle and Ed to be part of your team too!

Rachelle was the best, most responsive and most helpful agent I’ve worked with so far. She helped me find a place that exactly fit my needs AND that was under my budget! Super happy i had her help, couldn’t recommend her enough to others!

My experience has been nothing but wonderful with Ed and Rachelle. They really went the extra mile to get my home in incredible shape and ensured that everything ran smoothly. My house was beautifully staged and marketed well. The house sold much quicker than most homes in my neighborhood and above the average listing price. I will definitely be working with them on my future home purchases. Thank you Rachelle and Ed for selling my home. I couldn’t have asked for a better team!!

My husband and I had the pleasure to work with Rachelle and Ed. Both are very professional, experienced and truly look out for their clients needs. They updated us with what was going on in the market and were honest with us every step of the way. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. They were always available to answer our questions and always made us feel comfortable. We highly recommend the Love Your Home Team if you are selling or buying!

What an amazing team! Couldn't ask for anything better when it comes to all your Real Estate needs. Five stars all day! ☆☆☆☆☆
