I wanted to give a huge thank you to Aaron Baboolal for his all of his hard work, dedication and overwhelming support throughout this home buying process. Aaron was extremely helpful, resourceful and organized which, made this process easy and less stressful. Aaron was very patient, accommodating and professional every step of the way. He ensured I felt content with every decision and always made it a point to answer all of my questions no matter how small. I cannot express how grateful I am, he always went above and beyond to help me find the perfect first home in Mississauga. I highly recommend Aaron for your future home-buying needs!

It's September 2020 and I am finalizing my closing on a presale condo. In 2017 I attended a Real Estate Seminar where I first became acquainted with REC Canada Real Estate. I recall meeting Simeon Papailias for the first time. Only having just met him, he treated us like he had known us for years! I was impressed with his open, jovial, warm and engaging personality. Simeon took a personal interest in ensuring all our questions were answered to our satisfaction and hours later we left feeling like we had known Simeon for years! After signing off on our unit we continued to interact with REC via email as additional questions came up. For over two and a half years Laura Stewart was our REC contact who is always positively responsive in answering our questions. Not only did she answer in the same day but usually in the same hour. Thank you Laura for taking such excellent care of us! During this time we became acquainted with Jas Takhar via the REC weekly podcast experience on you tube. Jas you light up our weekends with your vibrant positive exuberant nature - never mind the stellar quality of guests that continue to educate us yet not even charging a cent!. Furthermore, I live in BC and now that my unit is closing I cannot personally attend to pick up my keys or find a tenant. REC once again has stepped up to the plate and Simeon is arranging to find a qualified tenant which REC will manage for the year as a complimentary service! One cannot find this Gold Star service anywhere else in Canada! Thank you TEAM REC and lastly thank you Tyler Walborne of REC concierge for assisted me in connecting me with Jeffrey Lemo re HST relief. A+ to all Team members! Sept 24 closing / handover of keys.... Simeon - additionally I want to express my deep appreciation for all your assistance. Your team has left a deep impression within me. I sent a late text to Rasha yesterday. I didn't expect a response until the next day as my text was outside of business hours and due to the three hour time difference, I wanted to address my request while it was fresh in my mind. Not only did she respond within minutes but her wording was kind, attentive and acknowledged. With deep gratefulness Julie Kalashnikoff

Hello all! I have to give praise/Kudo's to REC's excellent team! Last Sept (2020) I closed on a brand new Condo in Vaughan ON. REC's (Rasha Ghandour - RE / Leasing agent secured a tenant who stayed for the year. Rasha, Thank you again for taking care of the many details :) After the tenant gave notice to vacate, Darren Singh came on board and in a matter of days found and screened new tenants who will be moving in within 2 weeks. Darren, I want to give you a shout out for your exceptional support! You are always quick to respond, heard me out and provided all that I needed to make this happen. REC, this is a testimony that you produce outstanding, exceptional support staff. Simos - I wish to Thank you (Jas), and your entire team for your exceptional continued support . REC is top notch!

My wife and I have been working with REC to grow our real estate portfolio for the last 6 years and rely on them heavily. Jas and his partners are a great source of support, expertise, and access to opportunities. Their staff though, really sets them apart. Their director of concierge services,Tyler, and their sales team, Laura and Katie, have been instrumental in walking us through getting deals done and going above and beyond placing tenants in our units. Highly recommend this group as partners in growing your long term business, not just real estate agents as found at other organizations.

We have a very complicated situation but Jacob Campagnero and Alla Tsvelyuk went above and beyond to help us get the place we wanted. Alla did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the whole process. Can be grateful enough for their team and will surely use their service again in the future and will recommend them to family and friends!

One of the best experiences I've ever had in real estate. All aspects of our deal were handled quickly and professionally including personal items. Even after our deal was completed they are STILL looking out for us. Can't say enough great things.

REC Canada was incredible to work with. Professional, efficient, and they show genuine care for their clients' needs. They have an inspiring team that work together like clockwork, propelled by Simeon & Bobby's leadership and you can't do better than going to them in the real estate business! Highly recommended.

Simeon and his crew take the time to make sure that, as a real estate investor, you are properly informed and making the right decisions for the right reasons. it's about the value and the experience.

The REC team is the team you want by your side when buying real estate in the GTA no matter what kind of buyer you are. Their knowledge, diligence and care is unmatched. As an out of province investor, they took care of everything for me and ensured a smooth process. Their dedication and passion for real estate and for their clients is evident and I recommend them without a doubt.

Had an absolute amazing experience from start to finish with our amazing realtor Katie Sakran! She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also was able to cater to my specific needs and wants as a renter to find me the perfect condo in the downtown area! Ask for Katie Sakran!! You won’t regret it!!

REC Canada makes buying, selling, and investing in real estate so easy and painless! The whole team is very knowledgeable and approachable. They always have a solution to what ever problem that arises.

Rohan Walters

I have personally engaged with the REC principals and staff for years. Their knowledge and efficacy have been and continues to be essential in my real estate investment planning. Also note that REC planning, financial and contractual knowledge has also helped recent associates of mine as well. Finally, their ethics are strong and one could even say inspirational. REC is showing great leadership for this industry.

Adeline Chen

Paul did a fantastic job with my lease. He was very thorough in explaining all the different documentation and forms that needed to be filled out. Whenever there was a potential tenant, Paul helped with the pre-screening of the tenants to ensure that my criteria was met such as assisting me in confirming the legitimacy of the references provided by potential tenants. I highly recommend Paul if you are a landlord needing help in leasing your property.

Bianca B

My husband and I can't say enough nice things about the REC team! We worked with Jacob throughout August-October 2020 to purchase our dream home and we are extremely happy not only with the purchase, but the professionalism, courtesy, responsiveness, and genuine care that we experienced working with him. Whenever we had questions (which was very frequent!), Jacob would respond right away and would address everything promptly. If Jacob wasn't available, he would let us know immediately and would have Alla contact us. We were always in very good hands with both of them and felt taken care of every step of the way. We definitely recommend REC!

Stephanie Estafanos

The REC team is certainly the one to beat. Aaron, in particular, is an exceptional agent. He is highly responsive, hard-working, diligent, mindful of your budget and location preference, and always advocates for you when speaking with other agents/landlords. I could not have had a better experience. Aaron helped me secure my dream home within my budget, and I can't thank him enough!

Shelley Wine

The entire REC team is stupendous at what they do. Many companies tell you that as a client you are a member of their family but this organization really means it. From the Managing Partners (Jas and Simeon) to the Sales Representative Laura Stewart and Tyler in the Concierge area, they are there at every turn, meeting your questions and concerns right away, taking all the time you need so that you always go away fully satisfied. Buying real estate can be very stressful but this coordinated effort with all the experience being offered makes the experience seamless, easy, and effective. Do yourself a favour, don’t go anywhere else, just give them a call and see what I mean.

Kathy Pappas on the REC team has led all of six of our buy and sells over the last few years. She is kind, patient, well respected by agents she deals with and is an effective negotiator. Our best interests were always first priority and her vast knowledge has helped us navigate tricky situations and kept us safe. Jas, Simeon and Shem have also been excellent trusted advisors in our deals - love the teamwork and collaboration they demonstrate. There is no other agent and team we would work with. Thank you guys for all you do! See ya for the next purchase and sale :)

Julie Stevenson

Katie was amazing to deal with! During such unprecedented times she was responsive, available and proactive! It was stress-free for us, knowing that Katie was taking care of everything. Thanks so much for all of your help!

Lauma Beti

We have had the honour of working with real estate agent, Rosany Rodrigues, at REC Canada. Rosany, is extremely hard working and has been an absolute joy to work with. Rosany, was able to find a tenant for us, under these unprecedented times of COVID 19. The transition was extremely smooth and Rosany's energy and commitment to locating a tenant for us was amazing! We truly appreciate all you have done for us. Thank you today and always Rosany!

More then willing to take the time and explain the process of how things work in the investing world!

Laura Kinsman

Had the best experience with the REC team! Rasha helped us find the perfect home with an income suite in Toronto and negotiated a great deal. She is a delight to work with - professional, knowledgeable, funny, and an all-round awesome person. Thank you Rasha and the REC team! We will definitely be working with the REC again on our next investment property!
