Reviews of Deakin Realty (Real Estate Agency)

Amanda Johnston

I worked with Rebecca Lewis, who was a fantastic representative of Deakin. She found us the perfect home, and negotiated an amazing price! Thank you!

Sally Folk

Thanks again to your AMAZING TEAM!!! I'll come back!

Debbie Magwood

An excellent, charitable company. I highly recommend Deakin Reality!

Brent Robinson

Deakin Realty helped us with the purchase of our home in Beaconsfield. Jay is as professional as they come. His knowledge of the market and negotiating skills are best in class.

We worked with Nancy Deakin in the spring of 2019 to sell our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers very quickly after the house went on the market, thanks in large part to Nancy’s incredible work. Nancy brought in a fabulous photographer to showcase our home online, which created much more foot traffic and brought in serious buyers. She also brought in a designer to help stage our home, which helped make it more appealing to a larger group of potential buyers. The Deakin Team (including her son Jay) is top notch and can't be beat! Although we received multiple offers, we ended up working with nervous first time buyers. Nancy was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner. She was always available to answer our questions (and the buyers!). She was so responsive and is the sweetest person. We had a great experience!

I've had the opportunity to work with the Deakins several times now, and I feel the need to share what has been such a positive experience. Not only are the Deakins friendly easy going people, but they're reliable, trustworthy and hard working. In an industry littered with agents who come and go like the changing seasons, the Deakins have been a bastion of stability for decades. If you're in the market to buy or sell a listing, I strongly recommend them.

Jay and his team were extremely efficient, experienced and knowledgeable when carrying their job. Jay and his team paid attention to every detail of the sale and also purchase/finding of a new home. When it comes to selling his team works diligently in the home staging, inspection and the scheduling of the visits (even more so during a difficult time such as the pandemic!) They are client centered and the communication was regular. Both purchase and sale of my home was done smoothly and fast. I fully trust him and recommend him for any real estate related goal ( sale and/or purchase). Thanks Deakin Realty!!

We received outstanding service and support from Jay Deakin during the sale and purchase of our homes. He took the stress out of the experience because he is honest and knowledgeable and worked tirelessly on our behalf. He understood what we needed in a home better than we did and found us the perfect fit within our budget. We couldn't be happier and (already do!) recommend Deakin Realty to anyone.

I first met and worked with Jay and Nancy at Deakin, when I purchased my home in the West Island. They handled what was a rather challenging experience, in the most amazing way! We hit it off with them and will use them always for our real-estate needs. I have gone on to work professionally with them over the years as a home stagger and interior designer. Working along side them with our Design Team has been spot on. Everyone loves working with them and they have an approach with their services that truly aline with ours. Both personally and professionally they have always been seamless to work with. Tammy Skjenna Oxford Street Design

Friendly staff whom go out of their way for you! A great boutique realty firm especially if you're tired of the big brand names!

Mathieu Moreau

We were referred to Deakin Realty through another satisfied customer and we have not regretted it for a second. As a young couple, we were prepared for an extremely uncertain and stressful buying process. Working with Jay was entirely the opposite. He is such a reassuring presence in a crazy market. He walked us through every step of the process and was incredibly informative when visiting houses. He never pressured us on a particular house but helped us make an informed decision. Always available, always punctual and always well prepared. We highly recommend Deakin Reality to anyone looking to buy/sell.

Kevin Zorn

We have had the fortunate opportunity to work with Jay Deakin in finding our dream home. Hands down, the best experience. Personalized, patient care. Attentive to all of our needs. High knowledge and experience in west island properties. Hands down - I trust him and his team for the best help, support and guidance.

This real eatate company provided the really bad customer service. I would not recommend this agency.

Luke B

In a world full of angling and unspoken intent, Jay and his team are highly knowledgeable, and operate with the utmost integrity. I would give him 10 stars if possible.

Félix Morin

We've been dealing with Nancy and Jay to buy a plex and they provided insightful information and always responded very swiftly. I highly recommend them.

Michael Kouri

Jay helped us buy and sell two homes, even connected us with a fabulous agent when we moved to Toronto. Every experience was seamless, with insights on appraisal that really help us make informed decisions.

Miriam Groom

Unbelievable 5- star service and follow-up. If i could give more stars i would! I highly recommend Deakin Realty group as we have used them for several properties over the years and they never disappoint. Thanks again Jay, for the amazing service!

Gerry Leo

Jay has phenomenal knowledge of the market and is a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Deakin Realty.

Melissa Ferlaino

Best knowledge of the West Island. Great personal service. Highly recommend!

Dimitrios Christopoulos

We bought and sold with Jay Deakin. A very transparent, straight shooter and experienced agent. He knows the market well, especially the Beaconsfield market. He knows what a buyer does not know or think to ask. We had trust in his abilities to support us in this financial decision. Jay is a very capable agent, able to handle the transaction along with the various emotions that come along with making a big purchase.

Emmanuel Autran

Most professional team in the West Island! Very friendly and always there to respond to their customers needs. I would highly recommend their services. Simply the best!

Kevin Gardner Gregory

I loved my experience at Deakin Realty. Unlike many real estate professionals, they are customer-focused. They made sure we found the right home, rather than the first homes we visited. Attentive, flexible and knowledgeable, this company is the one you want if you value customer-service and results.

Nathalie Cousineau

Loved working with Jay! He is very knowledgeable, professional and was extremely patient with our numerous house visits! He also sold our home in our desired price range and within a month. I highly recommend him and his team.

Nodin Di Guida

My wife and I worked with Deakin Realty to buy and sell our family home. Jay’s service throughout the process always went beyond our expectations as he ensured that he captured what we both wanted, advising us every step of the way. What was incredibly appreciated was how reactive he was to any hiccups that occurred. He advised us patience when it was needed, as well as when it was time to be proactive. We strongly recommend Deakin realty to be your Sheppard throughout this emotional transaction! Thanks guys for giving us our forever home!

Chelsea Privée

I could not be happier with the service I received from the team at Deakin Realty. Buying a house during a pandemic AND a crazy market was especially intimidating but they made the whole process really enjoyable. After seeing only a couple of houses Jay was able to find me the perfect house that wasn't even on the market yet. I knew going with Deakin Realty could give me this advantage seeing as they have such strong ties in Pointe-Claire south. In this market finding a place that hasn't been listed yet is really a dream and made the process so much more enjoyable for me. Thanks again for everything!

Susan Phillips

After 29 years in my house it was time to sell. Nancy Deakin of Deakin Realty made that process so easy !!! Her professionalism and knowledge were invaluable. She walked me through the evaluation of the price and helped with the steps to make the house more marketable (all easily done with extremely little cost ). The house was sold within a very short period of time at a great price. All the professionals at Deakin Realty are really customer-focused and care about their clients.

Sophie Borgo

Jay and his team absolutely wonderful across the board.

Diana Mannetta

Wonderful buying and selling experience with Deakin! My husband and I worked with Susan and Rebecca on purchasing a new home and selling our home. These ladies are professional, experienced and knowledgeable in the real estate industry. Guided us through every aspect with patience and understanding. Highly recommended! We love our new home and its all thanks to Deakin!

Eric Cyrenne

5 Stars. I have had the privilege of working with Jay and Nancy for over 10 years; they are professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable about their market. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Anna Karieva

We worked with Deakin Realty on 3 transactions over the last 8 years. Jay has helped us negotiate the best price for our home and get the most value for our sale. Jay has excellent knowledge of the market, gives sound and practical advice. Most importantly, he has carefully listened to our very specific needs and understood exactly what we were looking for. Absolute pleasure to work with.

Marc Landreville

We have moved many times and worked with many good real estate agents. Having said that, our experience with Deakin realty's excellent team was the best. In our recent sale, we experienced highly professional service from all team members. The emphasis on timely and thorough feedback, particularly on the status of potential buyers, was hugely helpful to us. We are more than completely satisfied. Deakin realty focuses on personalizing, analyzing and delivering results.

James O'FLaherty

We were blown away by the care and attention we received when we listed our home with Deakin realty. They are efficient, motivated, kind and professional. They left us feeling completely confident and treated us like family. A plus plus

Olivia Hutchins

We bought and sold with Deakin Realty. Jay was very professional and attentive. Through the entire process, we always felt that we were in good hands and that Jay had our best interests at heart. We were definitely represented by the best! I highly recommend them. Thanks guys!

Michael Ricci

Having worked with Jay on numerous occasions, I highly recommend his services. His deep knowledge of the West-Island market, paired with his charismatic approach, allows him to guide his vendors & buyers through this competitive market. Highly recommend.

Kyle L

We had the pleasure of dealing with Jay and his team in the purchase of our new home and in selling our current one. Everyone was such a pleasure to deal with, and they were all quick to respond to any questions we had and were very knowledgeable. They gave us great advice throughout the entire process and sold our house in under 6 days! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who’s either looking to buy or sell.

jamie miller

This was my first time working with Deakin Realty, I had the chance to work directly with Nancy Deakin and it was a pleasure to work with her. She made the buying process smooth from start to finish. I look forward to working with her in the near future.

Blair McEwen

We have had the pleasure to buy and sell multiple properties using the Deakin Team. They are honest, responsive, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Montreal real estate market. You can be confident they have all aspects of the transaction under control making it a truly seamless, enjoyable event. They continue to be valued advisors for all of our real estate needs.

Nicolas Mabboux

We bought our house 10 years ago with Deakin Realty and going with them was a no-brainer as we sold it and bought our new home. The personalized service, the in-depth knowledge of West Island, and the quality of our interactions will have us come back a third time if need be!!! Our house was sold very quickly, and Nancy was always available to help and answer any question. An absolute 5 star!!!

Tiffany Reis

Had an excellent experience working with Jay and his team with buying and selling our home. The whole team is super sharp and very knowledgeable. Jay always had our best interest at heart and gave us honest advice throughout the whole process. He knows what he's talking about and always seemed to be one step ahead. They sold our house quickly and at the price we had hoped for. Thanks Jay, Nancy, Alexa and the whole team for selling our house and helping us find our dream home.

Marc-Andre Littee

Great team, smart advice and always there when you need them, would highly recommend!!

Nelson Jr Fortin

I have nothing but great things to say about Nancy and her team! No matter what type of buyer/seller you are, they will adapt to your needs! A real turn key solution built on trust!

Katy Y

Deakin Realty is amazing!! Nancy was thorough, attentive, professional, and always available to answer our calls and questions. She found us the perfect house (which was a tough decision, because so many she found for us were perfect!). She was also on top of the market - alerting us to houses that matched our requirements before they were posted online for all to see. In a market like today's, you NEED a real estate agent like Nancy! When it came time to making our offer, she coached us well and was incredibly thorough about her due diligence. She pointed out things that we, as inexperienced buyers, would never have noticed and helped us negotiate accordingly. I cringe to think about how much we would have overpaid if we hadn't had her on our side! Overall, I was extremely satisfied with Deakin Realty. I recommend Nancy and Jay to anyone who will listen, since our home buying experience was so wonderful. Keep up the great work!!

Jamie Allan

Amazing team!! With a growing family we've had to move a couple of times in the past few years. The team at Deakin Realty made it a stress free experience and found us the perfect home.

marcel mueller

How to describe my experience selling my parents home with Jay, Nancy, Don and the rest of the Deakin Realty team ? MORE THEN FRIENDLY, HONEST, EFFICIENT, TRANSPARENT, PROFESSIONAL, EMPATHETIC and most of all HUMAN !!

Daryl Lamoureux

We first started working with Jay Deakin when we moved from Ottawa to Pointe-Claire. He secured a great rental home in our desired area, close to the kids’ school and to our wishlist amenities. After a couple years of settling in, we turned to Jay again this past fall to help us find a home to buy. We did have some concerns about the unpredictable COVID housing market and the low inventory issues in the West Island, especially in Pointe-Claire south. Those concerns turned to trust and confidence as Jay was able to float some options that weren’t even on the market yet. In the end, Jay’s keen matchmaking skills, knowledge of the neighbourhood and commitment to finding the ‘right’ home for our family resulted in us buying our forever home right down the street! Thanks to Jay and Deakin Realty for making another move an easy and exciting transition for our family.
