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.

Ed and Rachelle were amazing when helping myself and my fiancée find our first home. They were extremely patient with us and took us to view multiple homes for months until we found the one. They were even willing to look at homes in Kitchener, Cambridge, and London!

Such a great duo!

I would like to give my gratitude to Love Your Home Team for their dedication. If you are new in Canada and have difficulties finding a place for rent, they will help you out!

What can we say about the Love Your Home Team that hasn’t been said and shared already. There’s a reason why so many people, including us, have entrusted these two amazing individuals with one of the biggest and life changing decisions that we’ll ever make in our lives.

We had other options, but it came down to the knowledge, experience, and passion that they bring to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible, even when at times it felt like a rollercoaster ride due to external factors.

In this highly competitive market, they were able to exceed our expectations with the buying of our next home to selling our current one. They are highly skilled in negotiating and the outcome for buying and selling both worked out in our favour, kudos to them and advantageous for us!

Ed and Rachelle know what they are doing and go above and beyond, even to the last minute they are relentless. We experienced their tenacity right up until the end and now we are coming out of all of this with an overall positive experience. Highly recommend!
