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.

Highly recommended!!

I moved to Toronto one week ago and the love your home team was able to find me a rental property within that week. They made the whole process stress free and I couldn’t be happier.

Rachelle and Ed were an incredible team, walking me through step by step and answering all of my questions as a first time home buyer. They took care of all the logistics and administrative work and provided me with useful insights that I wasn't able to find on my own. Thanks to them I was able to find the perfect place within budget and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you Rachelle and Ed for a job well done on selling my house in just a day and with viewing numbers I have never expected. You have a great team, well prepared for the plan to showcase the house that got sold far more than the asking price. Your experience and expertise certainly made me that comfortable to trust your plans and you did it so amazingly well! That speaks of your knowledge and professionalism. Congratulations! I won't hesitate to recommend you to friends and family. All the best to both of you!!!

Rachel and Ed are such a blessings from heaven. A beautiful people inside and out. Very professional, always ready to help and answers all your questions. They help us purchased our first home so easy and hassle free. They stick to our budget. Made the process of buying our home a wonderful experience. They even refer us to Randy Dimaano (Morgage Agent/Advisor) he is wonderful to work with. I definitely refer them to family and friends.
Rachel and Ed thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts

We're finally moving in, big help from Edward and his team. From start to finish until we got our new place! Highly recommended! Never hesitate to contact them. 👍

I’m so glad we were introduced to Rachelle and Ed! They really went above and beyond to meet our needs and were super informative, reliable, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone for any real estate needs, and will definitely continue working with them in the future! Thank you both so much again for all of your hard work 

Dealing with Rachelle and Ed of Love Your Home Team equated to my family super loving our new home! As newcomers in Canada, we were a bit of unsure of what kind of home our family would need. Rachelle made sure that our new home met our needs and requirements. Her guidance and advices were genuinely helpful for clueless people like us! We highly recommend Love Your Home Team!

Rachelle and Ed are the best realtors hands down! Very professional and willing to go above and beyond for us. They not only helped us purchase a new home for our growing family, but they also helped us sell our house in record time! They actively listened to what we were looking for in a home and took their time to show us several houses until we found *the one* that checked off almost all the boxes on our "must have" list. Thank you to the LOVEYOURHOMETEAM for making the buying&selling process easy and painless. We especially appreciate how beautifully our house was staged, and we know that is a huge reason why our house sold so quickly and way above what we hoped to get for it! What makes this dynamic duo stand out from the rest is their attention to detail and the way they made us feel valued and important; checking up on us after the houses closed, surprise move-in anniversary letters and tokens of congratulations and appreciation. These extra touches are just another reason why we highly recommend them! Thanks again Rachelle and Ed!
