Reviews of DeClute Real Estate (Real Estate Agency)

Laura Stubley

Adrienne helped us purchase our home last year. Adrienne is very professional and completely understood how we worked. She knows the area well and appreciated what was important to us when buying a house so showed me areas that I might not have considered. She helped what could have been a stressful experience be a painless process. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.

Betty Sherwood

I had an excellent experience working with Carley. She was very quick to respond to my questions and very diligent in dealing with all my needs. Laura did a fantastic job on staging. I got a great price for my home thanks to Carley’s negotiations. I highly recommend DeClute.

Dave Stratton

Katie helped my wife and I buy first home. She was helpful and encouraging and 9 months pregnant! We are so happy in our home and so grateful to Katie and the DeClute team for helping us make our vision of home ownership into a reality.

Adrienne Kassen acted as my real estate agent in purchasing my first home. At the time she was not known to me but came highly recommended by a family friend. She was professional and exceptionally hard working. I had some unique and very specific requirements in searching for the perfect home for me, and was deeply impressed at Adrienne's ability to deliver. She sincerely took in to account all of my requests and in her persistence, was able to fulfill all of my expectations. I in turn have recommended her with complete confidence to two additional friends and another family member (all of whom also purchased their first homes with Adrienne and thanked me for recommending her). As my family has grown, it is without question that I will be entrusting the sale of my current house and purchase of our next home with Adrienne.

Finding an agent that is really part of the community is very important to us. We see DeClute Real Estate as a distinct part of the "Beach". They are all about the community and are willing to invest not just money but their time and effort as well. We never miss their 'Light Up The Beach' event and are proud to show off how amazing it is to our friends. It's also critical that our agent know EVERYTHING about where we live. More than we do! The owners Rick and Rochelle along with the agents in the office, live and raise their families in the beach. The are experts in the market and their generosity is unparalleled. These guys are amazing!

Harvey Carroll

Rick represented us when selling our house in the Upper Beaches. Based on our fantastic experience, I would highly recommend using Rick and his team if you are looking for a successful outcome when you sell your home. Rick and his whole team were incredibly organized, insightful and effective. The process was a pleasure and we ended up selling our house well over ask and in only 4 days. We are thrilled with the result and would suggest speaking with Rick before selecting a realtor to represent you. You will be glad you did.

Bradley Tilley

Carley worked tirelessly to find us a home that our family loved. She was kind and considerate and we couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Carley and DeClute Real Estate.

Danica Oldford

If there was the option to give six stars I would! Not only did Kate help find a tremendous new house but she sold my existing house after only 3 days on the market for 125% of ask price! Happy customer right here!

Emil Paloma

My wife and I found a really nice house online on Toynbee Tr. my wife and I are considering this home and wanted to set up a viewing. We haven’t settled on this house and did not settle on a real estate agent yet. When I called requesting a call back from the listing agent I was contact by one of his associates Carrie Skidmore. I explained to her that we wanted to see the home but did not commit to any agents but we had a few we were considering. She insisted that we should arrange a viewing with an agent vs her or their company. I had already explained that we did not commit to any agent and explained we wanted to see if this home checked off all the boxes for us first. She still insisted we needed to go through our own agent. Her attitude and persistence to go through a different broker gave us a sense that selling this house to a buyer on behalf of the owner came second hand and would only happen if a potential buyer had visit the house through the method she had preferred. We still would like to see the house but don’t want to feel that scheduling a visit for us without an agent would be such an inconvenience. In closing... she wouldn’t schedule a viewing with me during this phone call but said she’d call me back in 20 minutes; which was almost 1 hour ago. Disappointing experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After speaking with Rick DeClute he was able to assist us directly with our inquiry. He was very quick to respond and worked with us to better understand our experience and was sincere about streamlining the process to serve the clients. It is clear that this was an isolated incident which has now been used to ensure a consistent positive experience with clients moving forward. Big thank you to Rick for taking the time to speak with me about this experience.

Christina Szymanis

Michael from DeClute was amazing, offering outstanding service, honest advice on neighbourhoods and properties. He made moving back into the city a great experience. Thanks!

Tanya Howard

We recently purchased a home with Janine Devine as our realtor. It has been an excellent experience overall; I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality service. She has been truly progressional throughout, has provided excellent guidance and information, and is always available/quick to respond. She helped us find the ideal property. She’s very knowledgeable in all aspects of the buying process and lends excellent insights along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

Spencer Clerk

This was my first time using a broker to find a rental. It was also my first time renting in Toronto. The thought of moving to the city without much knowledge of the rental market and no word of mouth recommendations was daunting in and of itself. Seating the whole rental process within the context of COVID and starting a new job made the whole idea seem impossible. I'm now happily renting an amazing apartment in a great neighbourhood and I can say with complete confidence that I wouldn't be where I am without Jacqueline at DeClute. Having Jacqueline helping me find, view and negotiate made all the difference. Since this was my first time using a broker to rent (something I honestly didn't think was a thing before this) I had a lot of questions. Jacqueline would respond quickly and thoroughly. Any worries I had Jacqueline softened. She went above and beyond to help me. I just felt completely safe in what is often a very vulnerable experience. I can't recommend her enough. Thanks, Jacqueline!

Katherine B

I contacted Carrie Skidmore after a superb recommendation from a colleague. She doesn't disappoint! She went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met. She truly made our first buying experience a breeze! She showed absolute dedication and professionalism throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive and hard-working realtor. I am so grateful to Carrie for her exceptional work!

Doug Peterson

In our business it can be hard to find colleagues who share your values. Who hold to a high level of customer centric service. Who hold their clients interests above all else. Who believe in fairness, honesty and open, clear communication. When we met Rochelle, Rick and the Declute Team we knew right away they are one of these rare finds.

MC SERVICES

Amazing

Lao Pi

Rick DeClute heads up a great team of friendly, relaxed people who really know the neighborhood. He has a long history in The Beach and took his time narrowing down our search until we found the right place. He is very knowledgeable about the market and indicated pros and cons of the houses we looked at with a keen eye and professional detachment. There was never a sense of urgency in his approach and he made the whole experience of both buying our new house and selling our old, an interesting one. I unreservedly recommend DeClute Real Estate. Peter Siroishka

Ray Kanani

We feel very lucky to have Carrie Skidmore as our real estate agent. This was a first time experience buying a house. Carrie walked us through every step. She responded to our questions quickly and clearly and always put us first. She gave us all the information we needed to make the most informed decision. Carrie is knowledgable, helpful and, most importantly to us, caring. Her energy and authentic desire to help us find the house of our dreams always came through in everything she did. We recommend Carrie to anyone looking for a home and look forward to working with her again.

Dan Blumenthal

Josh was recommended to us by friends, who bought their first house with him. We, over the years, bought two houses with him and had a great experience. Josh is very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to your needs. He is honest and will provide you with the best advise, even if it means he will not get the sale on that house. Highly recommended.

Chris Drinkall

Carrie (Skidmore) WAS and IS AMAZING. I'm moving back to Canada after a 13 year hiatus from the Great White North. I've only been to the GTA on a few occasions, have no family or friends there, and don't know the neighbourhoods. I gave Carrie some basic guidance as to what I currently have in Chicago and what I was looking for in Toronto. She read through everything I provided her with and knew exactly the right properties to send my way. Throughout the entire process she went above and beyond, texting, FaceTime, calling, you name it. Carrie is what all others should aspire to be. Personable, professional, dedicated, passionate, diligent, etc. An AMAZING experience and I will use her agin and refer her to anyone I meet. Thank you, you really are the best.

Larissa Shamseer

We worked with Carrie Skidmore for our move into the city and were so impressed by her level of commitment to getting us into the various properties we were interested. She worked quickly and actively communicated with selling agents - essential for the fast-moving pace of real estate these days. Our search for the right house took about a year, and Carrie patiently stood by us and supported us during that nerve-wracking time. We're now settled in the house we bought in one our preferred neighbourhoods and Carrie continues to be a resource as we get underway with some home improvement projects. She is also highly knowledgeable about the rapidly evolving East Side of Toronto!

Kalvin Drake

The DeClutes and their team did an excellent job in selling out 120 year-old home in the Beaches, especially considering the toughening market. They have wide market knowledge and approached the task in a friendly, calming and professional manner. They are impeccably trustworthy, and they steered us through the psychological ups and downs of the selling process. Working in conjunction with the Wright Sisters as the combined Union Realty there is significant bench strength in terms of beach knowledge, design/staging, etc. that is unmatched in this area of the city.

Kyle Nichols

The DeClute team knows the beach and is part of the community. They are knowledgeable and experienced! Katie has been excellent to work with in two transactions and would 100% recommend her and the DeClute team!

lise snajdr

Rochelle and her team helped us sell our home of 28 years, at a time when the prices were starting to go down in spring 2018. Staging made the house look great. We got the price we needed. It was a difficult time for both of us but they helped us every step of the way so well that I don't think another agent would have.

Myles Kesten

Rochelle DeClute took great care getting us the perfect home in my favourite neighbourhood: the Toronto Beaches. My wife and I were desperate to move into this neighbourhood in a very tight market, but Rochelle and her team found us just the right spot in a secluded corner of the Beaches (yes! There still are a few!) to raise our daughter and give Dad a great walking path with the dog early mornings overlooking Lake Ontario. Her team of professionals showed us great properties and always led with our needs first, not theirs. They made the paperwork very clear and showed vigorous knowledge of the neighbourhoods we were interested in. I have no problem recommending Rochelle DeClute and her team for buying or selling a home.

Bill Blazevski

My family had a really good experience working with Carrie Skidmore, when my son was buying his first home!

Olena Vus

The DeClute team offers expertise, market knowledge and customized approach. Rochelle and Rick have an amazing team: friendly and helpful front-line staff, and experienced staging crew. Their passion and involvement in the community are evident through such initiatives as Light up the Beach and Out of the Cold just to name a few.

sanya B

I highly recommend Brandon’s service. I spoke at length with Brandon about what I was looking for, and he was understanding and patient with me. He was absolutely a pleasure to work with. He was attentive, thorough and very professional. He kept me apprised about available options and alerted me when new listings fit my description. He was sincere, upfront and easy to reach. Even when I started to panic about finding a place in a short time, he was there to reassure me. I was lucky to have worked with him. He found me my home.

Norseman Construction & Development Ltd.

Rick DeClute really knows his stuff! We have been working with him for many years and couldn't be happier. Buying real estate for a business can be even more intimidating than residential and with Rick and his entire team we always know that we are in good hands!

Laura Wiese

Kate Craig has been my go to agent for 10+ years....not only is she unbelievably professional but she continually understands client needs and preferences. 4 houses and one condo later....I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best :)

M A R

Carrie S was absolutely superb. She was Patient, friendly, courteous and she has a great sense of humor. Whatever you're looking for she will definitely go above and beyond and try her best to help you find exactly what you're looking for. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a good honest, hard-working realtor.

Erin MacGregor

We interviewed several local agents before selling our home. We chose to work with Rick and Rochelle for a number of reasons. Their long history of working in the east end, their huge network of local agents, and their full complement of services. The preparation and staging of our home was managed quickly and professionally. We were kept in the loop without the burden of having to project manage, every step of the way. In the end, we were disappointed our home didn't sell on offer night, but Rochelle was persistent in getting new potential buyers in for viewing, and she negotiated an amazing selling price for us.

Jason Mc

We were very impressed with Adrienne Kassen and everything she did for us. We are so glad we changed over to DeClute. Our realtor experience before Adrienne was one of stress, anxiety and panic. Our experience with Adrienne was much more chill and relaxed. Plus, our house was sold above the asking price which is a nice bonus. I would recommend Adrienne to anyone I knew selling their home.

Tashana Watts

Carrie is the sweetest and most helpful agent. She really knows the business and always puts her best foot forward. TEAM CARRIE!

Amy Louise

Best team in the Beach!

Eileen Barry

Rochelle is a very dedicated professional. She not only has the extensive market knowledge and experience required to be an excellent choice when looking for a real estate representative but I also find her to be an honest + thoughtful human being above all else. I have a complicated situation and she has been extremely supportive and patient as I work through the various stages of my real estate decision (s). Rochelle also works with a large energetic team who support each other and that is a great benefit to any client! I am always impressed with her passion not only in real estate but in general with people. She has been actively involved in the community for many years. Under her leadership her team continues to be very interactive in our community and through their dedication and positivity, along with the many wonderful contributions they make, help create an even more wonderful neighbourhood than we already are lucky enough to live in!

Oliver mcmahon

Kate advised me on buying a house and I thoroughly, thoroughly recommend her. A couple of times she talked me out of making what would have been bad decisions, and then she won a bidding war where I had the lowest bid. That's pretty good!

Kathryn Ferguson

Carrie Skidmore I have found to be a great real estate agent. I found her randomly last year through a call in to look at a house and she has been such a help over the last year. She helped me find and buy a new house and was extremely knowledgeable on properties, issues I might face and patient as we went through a ton of houses. She was helpful as I asked all my million questions and helped with a tough negotiations (yes...it turned out in my favour). But since, she has also been helpful when I needed help with handy 'people' or carpenters or insurance. Carrie is super busy but always takes the time to answer all my questions. And bonus - I never felt like I was nothing more than a sales opportunity. It was and is a nice personal experience!

Brittany Gill

Carrie Skidmore did an incredible job finding me my first home! In spite of having to work with me virtually since I wasn't in Toronto, she always kept me in-the-know. Carrie went above and beyond, scheduling last minute showings, visiting units late in the evening to send videos, and ensuring I had all the information I needed to make my first purchase in the city. I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking for a realtor.

David DeNoble

Kate helped us with the sale of our former house and purchase of our new house. Kate is professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy. When purchasing our current house, Kate guided us and appropriately advised us on the market conditions and we were successful in purchasing a house that we love at a fair market price. When listing our former house for sale with Kate, she far exceeded expectations by bringing in her colleagues/associates to assist with the preparation of our home to fully demonstrate the attributes of the house. Kate thoroughly explained her recommendations for the listing price considering all relevant market conditions, among other details such as listing date, open houses, offer date, etc. She gave us the confidence that the process would ultimately lead to presenting our home in the best possible way to fully expose it to the most interested and qualified buyers. The marketing of our house was top-notch and professional - virtual tour, brochures, agents' open house and ultimately we are extremely satisfied with the result. We commend Kate and DeClute for the tremendous effort and superior results.

Frank Stanschus

I have worked with the DeClute team on three occasions now, and would never use another realtor in the Beach. The team led by Rick and Rochelle know the neighbourhood like no-one else. They provide fantastic end to end service, and most importantly they get you your new home. I would highly recommend them.

Gerald Mcshane

We were so happy to have Lani Fulmerton working on our behalf. Lani is a superstar. She is professional, knowledgeable, personable and trustworthy. Oh, did we mention that Lani is unflappable and resourceful?. She made the whole process incredibly smooth for us. Our much loved home was staged to perfection and sold over asking in 2 days, with many viewers. We highly recommend Lani for your real estate needs. She really goes above and beyond. Judy and Gerald

Lou Tetsos

Rochelle and the team at DeClute were amazing! When you lose a parent and sell the family home...it's really, really hard, but Rochelle put our family at ease day one - she had a game plan ready. From day one we felt our best interests were well represented, and when it came down to closing this chapter, we again felt again that the team at DeClute worked all angles and put the best offer forward. Communication is key, and we received more text messages and email updates than we ever expected. The insight and information flow certainly eased the stress and was appreciated.

Simon Rodgers

We had an amazing experience working with Declute Real Estate Group and specifically Kate Craig. She was professional, responsive and genuinely cared about making sure we found the right house for our family. I would 100% Kate and Declute to anyone who is looking for a realtor who you can trust and who puts your needs before anything else! Thanks Kate & Declute!

Colleen Le Marquand

If you need a real estate agent that will go beyond your needs and expectations Carley McIntosh is the perfect agent for you! Prior to starting the process of buying my first home with Carley I was anxious, overwhelmed and felt that I had no idea what to expect. Carley single handedly made my first home purchase possible and enjoyable. Carley sat down with me to better understand what I was looking for in a home, the price range that I felt comfortable with and the area I was interested in. During this meeting she took the time to explain the entire process with me and shared her extensive knowledge of the market and the area I was looking in. Carley worked with me to make a plan and also to set my expectations of what I could attain. During this process Carley was always available for a quick chat on the phone, scheduled viewings around my availability, and she kept me informed during the entire process. Even though I know agents are very busy people and have multiple clients I always felt like a priority to Carley. When challenges arose, or I became nervous, Carley was able to address any concerns and always came up with a resolution. During walkthroughs Carley demonstrated her knowledge of what to look for and always showed me potential “red flags”. She truly had my best interest at heart. During the bidding process Carley kept me up-to-date; She even would call me to let me know that there had been no news yet so I wouldn’t go crazy. I was out of town when I put an offer on my home, but I had the confidence and knew that Carley would complete everything that needed to be completed on time and correctly. Carley also had wonderful referrals for a mortgage specialist and lawyers. Each stage of purchasing my first home seemed to get easier and easier with her team. I cannot say enough great things about Carley. Anyone who uses her services will be overjoyed by their outcomes and will enjoy the entire process. Thank you so much Carley

Diana Zidar

I have known Rick and Rochelle for many many years. They are the best in the business. Professional communicators, absolutely stellar at handling their clients and staff. They work diligently to be part of the community and bring people together. Finding homes for newcomers and finding new homes for old friends moving out of the area. Making people's dreams come true. Amazing teams from both Declute and Union makes these realtors the top choice in Toronto and around the Greater Toronto Area.

Kirt Gill

We had the difficult task of purchasing a property in Toronto while living in Vancouver. A family member in Toronto recommended that we contact Carrie Skidmore. Carrie was well prepared when we flew into Toronto to preview some buildings and narrow down which building and condo would suit our needs. We decided on suites in two buildings then waited for something to come up for sale. We ended up completing a deal on the third suite we made an offer on. Carrie spent a great deal of time working with us to find and complete the deal. I would recommend her highly to anyone.

VELOUTE Bistro & Catering

Great experience, help us to renovate our house and we been able to get a great price after that , thank you for DeClute team

Brian O'Dea

I have known Rochelle DeClute, and her entire family, since coming to Toronto in 1995. Moving to The Beach, I first met her father, and then Rochelle, and her brother, Rick. What a family. They showed us amazing places, welcomed us not only into the community, but into their lives. Whenever any community event, such as The Easter Parade, or the Christmas Tree Lighting, you'll find the DeClutes there, volunteering their time and resources for the community in which they live and work. Rochelle knows The Beach like no other real estate agent, and backed by her brother, Rick, and an amazing team, I would not hesitate for one second recommending Rochelle to be Your Agent. Brian O'Dea

Mike Brown

Nancy Nicholls is a realtor with DeClute Real Estate. She is highly professional and fantastic to work with - whether you are buying or selling a home. She is very knowledgeable and super attentive to the needs of her clients. She is highly personable. Nancy is very reliable, prompt and effective! I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone that is in search for or needs to sell a home. A+ all the way!

Shane O'Connell

Patrick Devine 5 stars

Mason Blazevski

Carrie is a great realtor she really knows her stuff. Thank you for all of your help

Carla Garcia

STOP! Are you buying a home? Are you overwhelmed at the prospect? If so, you need to immediately call Janine Devine and tell her you need her help. I have waited years due to sheer intimidation of the complexity of the TO housing market. She made this daunting process so smooth, and kept things on track even through a few dramatic and unexpected hiccoughs. She works with great colleagues, including Olena Vus from Outline Financial. We ended up with the perfect home for our family, with remarkably little fuss. We would not have made it to such a great outcome without Janine at the helm. Janine and Olena, thanks again! You will need to come visit the garden in the spring! Carla and Luis.

stephanie stearn

We had an excellent experience selling our Beach home with the DeClutes and their team, and would recommend them to anyone seeking real estate services. They are great at what they do, as well as being friendly and kind. Thank you, DeClute Real Estate!

Mark Scarrow

The DeClute team are dedicated and experienced, and most importantly people of high integrity. Rick, Rochelle and everyone we have dealt with in their office have what it takes to add value to pretty much any real estate transaction. I would not hesitate in recommending them very strongly.

Jocelyn Y

I had the pleasure working with Krisha to secure a rental unit in downtown Toronto and I couldn't be happier. Not only has she been on top of everything - sending me potential units regularly, consistently providing updates and information, it also happened to fall during the Christmas/New Years period when she should've been on stat holiday. I'm convinced she played a crucial part in securing my ideal unit and would highly recommend others to work with her!

Ehsan Maghsoudlou

Josh helped us to buy our first home in Richmond Hill and we had a great experience working with him. Thanks to Josh we were not limited throughout our search, as he guided us to narrowed down our search initially from five main areas in GTA, looking at both houses and condos. He is also very knowledgeable about structural qualities and helped us to make a much more informed decision. Overall our purchase was smooth, very well planned, and as little stressful as possible. We absolutely enjoyed working with Josh!

Dan Weaver

Had a great experience with Janine Devine. She was knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with, responsive, and effective. I've already recommended her to a friend who needed a realtor.

Irena Brooks

Odane Harding, Realtor with DeClute assisted me with my recent search in purchasing a home. He is very professional and took extra steps to ensure I found a home that met my personalized needs. He provided exceptional customer service by sending individualized daily listings, comparables, accompanying me to open houses and showings, presenting purchase offers, and providing sound real estate/investment advice. Odane also went above and beyond and provided a consultation on renovations that would increase my property's value. This included creative aspects that I couldn't even think of. He also works alongside mortgage brokers and a law firm that will assist with all aspects of closing your deal. One stop shop! If you are looking for someone to assist you with your home purchase, look no further. I highly recommend this knowledgeable realtor for all of your home purchase, investment and rental needs.

Melanie Fowler

We have bought a home and sold a home in the Upper Beaches area with the help of Adrienne Kassen. Adrienne is one of the most professional, personable and knowledgable realtors I've had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Toronto.

M A

We were able to get our first home with Carrie Skidmore's help. She's very knowledgeable and hardworking, but more importantly, she has an incredible amount of patience. Being our first home purchase we asked her so many questions and saw so many places (sometimes the same place twice or 3 times in the same week), and not once did she seemed annoyed. She's very dedicated and professional and you can tell she truly loves her job. Plus she's super friendly and it's always a pleasure to spend time with her; if you need an agent to work in your best interest, she's your person. Thank you Carrie for your dedication!

Toni Blay

Rochelle DeClute (and her team members) offer an incredible depth of understanding in the real estate market. But beyond this Rochelle and Rick helped us navigate a very difficult sale of a beloved home. They showed a compassion and consideration that went beyond their call of duty and helped us find a new home in a new community. Rochelle and her team took the time to find just the right fit for us, making our transition smooth. I am forever grateful, as they helped us move into a home, not just a house.

Stacy Vuong

My husband and I bought our first house (our starter home) with Josh Korman's help. Amazing realtor and person. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient and always had our best interest at heart. It was a no brainer for us to work with Josh again when we decided to sell our first house and buy our second. Josh was always available to answer our many questions, see multiple houses a day with us - sometimes two days in a row or more. He was there for us every step of the way with helping us sell our house, and every step of the way when we bought and closed our current house. I highly recommend Josh and Declute.

Syd

Rochelle, Rick and their real estate team are outstanding. They are very knowledgeable and highly professional. It is clear from my family's experience that they work hard to understand the needs of their clients. In addition to providing individualized attention in finding/selling a home, they are proactive members of Beach community. I highly recommend them.

Jay Miller

I highly recommend The Declute Team - An amazing group of real estate professionals!

George Zabarelos

Rick DeClute and his team went far and beyond the call of duty to help me and my family purchase the perfect home. Devin Breen and Patricia Doyle along with the others in his office were excellent at providing us the highest level of customer service I have ever experienced on the buy side. To put it simply other agents were not able to negotiate effectively to help us purchase the home we wanted. Until I finally contacted my brother Jim who referred me directly to Rick. I recall the Sunday we spent together as Rick went back and forth between my wife and I and the sellers until we finally met a price that we felt was fair. On top of this all Rick also referred me to one of the best if not the best agent in Oakville to help us sell our previous home with Joette Michelle Fielding. It's good to see that these top agents work together to help people achieve their dreams of perfect home ownership. Thank you Rick DeClute and everyone on your team. We wouldn't have been able to make this dream come true without your professional services.

Harsh Thakur

I worked with Krisha to help us purchase my first home and I can honestly say she is now my realtor for life. I really got the full service with her from beginning to end. She was always prompt and available anytime I had any questions and always kept me updated on the market trends. During these COVID times, we just lost our hopes but she really kept us alive and motivated to keep on looking for more and more listings in different areas that suited our needs. We honestly couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend Krisha if you are ever looking to buy!

Christina Kostoff

We worked with Jacqueline Chapman and she helped us find a lovely place to rent in Leslieville. Being self employed my rental application was not a straightforward one and I really needed someone to advocate for me, communicate well with the landlord and look out for my interests. I could not have gone through the process without Jacqueline’s support and guidance. I highly recommend her!

Natalia del Arbol

Really great communication and above-and-beyond service.

Joseph Barbero

Jacqueline Chapman was a pleasure to work with! As a first time home buyer, I really appreciated her knowledge of the process and her calm and collected approach. She constantly kept me up to date on new properties, booked viewings promptly and responded to my phone calls and emails quickly. With the real estate market in Toronto being the way it is, communication is of utmost importance, and Jacqueline was exceptional in this regard. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking to buy a place in the GTA!

Paul Meyers

The DeClute’s are top drawer realtors

Catalina Lee

My husband and I bought our house in East York through Adrienne Kassen and she was amazing! She was a consummate professional with deep knowledge of the East York, Beaches, Leslieville, Riverdale market who expertly guided us through the entire purchase process. She was super responsive, and we always felt like her first priority. I would recommend Adrienne Kassen to anyone looking to purchase a property! Thank you again!

Michelle Pistano

I've recommended Carrie as a realtor to family and she has been successfully at providing an amazing service! Trustworthy, caring and transparent are what's important when seeking out a realtor to help you in making one of the biggest decisions in your life and this is exactly who Carrie is! When I'm ready to purchase my home i will definitely seek her services and expertise!

Amber MacDonald

We had the pleasure to work with Carrie Skidmore to find our first home. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and hard working agent who really supports and listens to her clients. If you are looking for a trustworthy and dedicated professional to help you find a home, she’s your person! And she is super enjoyable to work with. We spent so much time with her our son talks about her like she is a member of our family.

David Milner

Kate Craig is the best. She got us into our last place and if my wife gets her way into our next place very soon.

lorie ring

I cannot imagine using anyone other than DeClute for a future real estate transaction. Rick and his team were wonderful to work with in every way – professional, efficient and really nice folks. The staging was absolutely unbelievable. I feel confident that Rick got us the top dollar available in the market for our home. Highly highly recommended.

Bob Taylor

We chose DeClute Real Estate to list our home in 2017 when the market was inflated. Patrick & Rick were very honest in their assessment of our property, indicating the other values we had received were inflated and we should not expect to realize that amount. They were correct and those inflated values did not happen. Honesty is what is most important in selecting your agent on so many levels. DeClute offers that and many years of experience that can only benefit in marketing your home. When the time comes to list again, DeClute Real Estate will be high on the short list with us.

Freddy Cortese

Positives: ethical, professional, knowledge, responsive, full service We recently sold our house through Rick and Rochelle DeClute at DeClute Real Estate, and wanted to share our feedback. First, I was previously a real estate agent, and as such have an insider view of the business. I will say that there are very few realtors that are ethical and truly represents their clients. Rochelle and Rick are among those very few. Selection process: my wife and I wanted to select for interview 3 realtors/teams. Criterias of evaluation were: Strategy to Sell; Experience; Preparing the house to be sold; Team (if any); Pricing; Why work with you? I will pass on all the questions, but Rick/Rochelle scored a solid 100%. I will mention that they also will not do dual representation (speaks highly of their ethics) which put them above the pack. Preparing the house: We are moving to Quebec, so had very little availability between work and going to our new house in Quebec. From the get go, Rick/Rochelle took care of all logistics aspects very quickly: - getting the designer in to evaluate what work needed to be done; - getting the contractors in for the quotes (3 different contractors). - calendar of events (move out furniture, reno, staging, inspection, photos, go-to-market) all retro-planned to our target offer-night. The fact they took care of everything (even picking up the tile) is priceless. So they offer a complete full-service. Reno: having Kalima as our designer helped greatly. The house before and after made all the difference. We had many people stopping by to tell us how good the house looked like. So the combination of knowing what to do, having experts help (designers, contractors) were key to the success. The came time to go to market. We left the house for 10 days upon their recommendation - which I highly recommend given the number of showings. We ended up getting a pre-emptive offer ("bully" offer if you prefer) on the 2nd day. We received an offer which was very fair, but we were unsure if we wanted to take it or wait until offer night. Rick used his negotiation skills to get us a revised offer that we were extremely happy with. Actually, this resulted in a best case scenario for us. And I want to emphasize this. When you have a great offer, most agents would take that offer, since going back to get more money only makes a tiny difference in commissions, but a substantial difference for the client. In this case, Rick's negotiation resulted in $100,000 and we ended up selling our house for $300,000 over asking, which was our "shooting for the moon" target. In the end, I cannot think of anything Rochelle/Rick could have done better. I highly recommend them - they are among the most knowledgeable, experienced, and ethical real estate agents you can find. Rochelle, Rick: Thank you! Marie-France and Freddy

Nicole Guillot

We have worked a few times with Rochelle & Rick and their amazing team at DeClute – their professionalism, attention to details, true understanding of market is categorically the best out there. Furthermore, what they do for the community and their own industry is absolutely marvellous. We feel tremendously lucking to have found them – they have helped us greatly in our life’s journey!

Melissa Charlton

Rick and Rochelle are absolutely phenomenal. Not only do there have incredible agents on their team, their community involvements speaks volumes to who there are as leaders, real estate agents, and people. When we refer clients to their team, we have peace of mind that they will have an amazing experience.

Adrian O Connell

I recently used DeClute Real Estate to help find a new lease for my brother and I. From the moment I reached out to Patrick, his level of professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail were clear to see. Patrick helped schedule numerous viewings scattered across the city, each one tailored to fit our needs which we outlined in the beginning. After a couple of weeks we had been through different applications, offers and viewings until we found our perfect place that we are looking forward to calling home. We cannot thank Patrick and his team at DeClute enough for their assistance throughout this process.

Ashley Abraham

We’re so very grateful to have gone through this process with Jacqueline Chapman. She worked tirelessly to guide us through both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new house. Her support, knowledge and hard work made the whole process easy, fun and exciting. We couldn’t recommend her enough! - Ashley and Chris

Bill Dunk-Green

Declute's Pat Doyle has been our agent since we bought our first property. Over the years, my wife and I have used her services for a considerable number of transactions. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Without hesitation, I would recommend her and the team at Declute for your real estate needs.

James Murray

We decided to sell our house in Toronto and move to St Catharines in the fall of 2016. Patrick came highly recommended from friends we trusted. We had bought and sold a number of houses over the years and could tell right from the start that Patrick was a real pro. And since we are big believers in hiring the best people you can find, this was a no brainer. There was a lot of work involved in getting the house ready, but Patrick's instincts were right on the money. The house sold quite quickly, and I believe that the ridiculous amount we got over our asking price had every bit as much to do with Patrick's instincts, connections and salesmanship as it did with the market at the time. All in all we were delighted with the respect and professionalism that Patrick and his team demonstrated. And of course the amazing results we achieved. Selling and buying houses is a stressful business at the best of times. Having an agent like Patrick eased that stress considerably. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Mastan Kalsi

We really enjoyed working with Kate. When she showed us houses, she always knew about the area, schools, and other pros/cons of each house. She also would learn our personalities and needs and tailor the selection of houses accordingly. We would definitely work with her again.

Sherri MacEwen

DeClute Real Estate rocks!! We have used DeClute to sell a family home and also to buy a condo and loved the experiences. Rochelle and Pat Devine are knowledgeable, caring, passionate and compassionate.They impressed us with their their extensive market knowledge and negotiating skills. They are always available to share their expertise and answer our questions. We are inspired by DeClute's commitment to the community; winter clothing drives, Light up the Beach, support for mental health and addictions, fundraising for The Michael Garron Hospital and the countless many, quiet acts of kindness and generosity that are not shared. We highly recommend using DeClute Real Estate.

Jeff Enfield

My wife and I retained Karen Kubis to help us buy our first home as a family. Karen was instrumental in finding us exactly what we were looking for. The experience of buying was as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, thanks to Karen. She is extremely professional, thoughtful and hard working. She is gifted in her ability to read her clients and respond with what is best for them - she knew what we wanted even before we did! Karen was always a step ahead of us and approached delicate topics in a way that had our best interests in mind. She also understood that our busy careers meant we did not have the luxury of time - with Karen we were able to achieve our goal efficiently and with total focus. Three years later, we know we wouldn't be living in our dream home without Karen. We wouldn't consider buying or selling without her!

Derek Stem

Our rep at DeClute was Josh Korman. He was with us for the long haul as we started looking in July and didn't purchase until the end of the next April. During that time, we saw lots of places, passed up most of them but did put offers in on about 6 homes. Josh was patient with us, put in offers which reflected what we were willing to pay and although those did not close, he was there when we found the right place and offered market value for it. Our neighbourhood friends have had positive experiences there, we have had a positive experience there and I believe they will look out for your best interests too.

Jason Verbeek

Patrick was incredibly helpful in our search for a house. He was very prompt and clear with all communications, and was an effective negotiator on our behalf. Would recommend.

Fred King

My wife and I have known Patrick Devine for many years and when he started in the Real Estate business, it coincided with us looking to downsize our home. We knew that he would be fun to work with, but we were blown away by his professionalism, expertise and skill level. Within the past 5 years we have engaged his services on 3 different occasions involving both purchasing and selling properties and through it all, Patrick has been extremely supportive and very patient with our seemingly endless questions. Each of our properties were listed, staged and then professionally photographed, and all of them sold (over asking price too!!) within a week of hitting the MLS listings. From the beginning to the end of each transaction, Patrick was there to help us through every step of the way and always ensured that things ran smoothly. When we had tough decisions to make, he made sure we understood all of the options available to us and helped us make the right decision. He made us feel at ease with what otherwise would have be a very challenging process. We highly recommend Patrick Devine if you are looking for a professional who cares about your property as much as you do.

Alan

Patrick has been a pleasure to work with and I have recommended him to friends who agree. He is knowledgeable, diligent and has integrity.

Lauren Dickerson

We were first time home buyers and worked with Janine. Janine made our experience quite enjoyable and we learned a lot. Janine was able to recommend a great mortgage broker as well as lawyer for us to use, making the process less stressful. Janine really knew what we liked and didn't waste our time by showing us anything out of price range or area. We felt we could be open and honest with her and she didn't seem to "pitch" us on any property which we appreciated.

Bev Mitchell

DeClute Real Estate is an integral and important part of the Toronto Beach community. There are many realty firms in the area but the DeClute professional team stands out with their amazing community involvement from lighting up the beach each Christmas to working with the homeless to supporting the Michael Garron Hospital and numerous other charitable causes. A house is part of a community and the DeClutes help to make the Beach community a special place to live.

Ciro Gucciardi

We interviewed 3 agents before we chose the DeClute team. From the start, we were presented with knowledge of the local market, great marketing ideas specific to our unique property & a very professional approach. Our expectations were exceeded. We greatly appreciate the hard work and results you achieved!

Sam King

Pat has helped us sell two condo's in Toronto and the experience couldn't have been more pleasant. Pat is a Toronto guy and he knew the neighborhood well. He gave us a list of comparables in the area so we were under no illusions of our property's value. Their staging team was incredible and really brought out the best in our home. It was shown 37 times in one week. On the day of the sale, we had 8 offers and it went well above asking. Honesty, integrity and hard work go a long way in this crazy Toronto market, that's why Pat will always be our agent

Ely Padrelin

Thanks Kate for making our house selling and buying so smooth. We are very excited to move into our new house. This is house #2 we have bought with you and again it was a great experience. Sarah & Ely

Erin Mcneely

Carley is so knowledgeable and helped make the process of purchasing our first condo in Toronto a great and fun experience. Despite the hectic housing market, Carley was always calm and remained open with us throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Carley and the Declute team to anyone looking to buy a home!

Giovanni Salas

We would not hesitate to recommend Carrie Skidmore for all of your real estate needs. Carrie helped us purchase a home and stayed up most of the night to make sure the deal went through. She is hard working, diligent, and knowledgeable in her work. Carrie always follows up with the next steps in the purchase and she gladly and promptly answers all of our requests.

Ronnie Shore

Kate was extremely attentive to all of our needs, finding us the right house, in the right neighbourhood, for the right price. She is also an expert in the process, guiding us through it seamlessly and painlessly.

James Morris

Karen Kubis met all of our needs when we sold our house in the Beach area of Toronto. Karen was always ready to respond to our questions. Karen had a good understanding of the market and along with her experience in the real estate business she provided very good service. I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs help buying or selling a house. Jim and Ellen

Dena nicoloff

Lani Fumerton the agent who looked after us was prompt, efficient, personable, competent, straight-forward and accommodating. Excellent service.

Robert Mitchell

I am a developer working in the Beaches in Toronto and have used numerous realtors over the past years. My experiences in working with De Clute Real Estate have all been positive and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others. It's also nice to support a group that supports our community with their volunteer work and initiatives, from Light up the Beach to Out of the Cold. Bob Mitchell, Mitchell Lofts

Maria McT

We absolutely loved our buying experience with Declute. Kate Craig went above and beyond to find us a great house and investment which we have been in for 5 years now. We can't thank her enough.

Violet Anderson Turnley

Brandon Reid - is stellar at his job - goes over and above! I was looking on my own for many months to buy my first home to no avail. Brandon reached out to me to assist me in the, what felt like, the never ending search in this real estate climate. I lived in Australia for a long time and Torontos market mimics it - it can be daunting, especially if you can’t navigate it - Brandon helped alleviate all the pressure of finding my perfect home. He went over and above in aiding me to find my home. Brandon was attentive, showed me plenty of options and in the end he found the house I always wanted to buy. Then continued to negotiate on my be half for the best price. After the sale went through he kept in contact to ensure everything went well - even brought me a ‘Welcome Home’ gift - a plant! He is reliable, and works with his clients closely - he doesn’t see you as a walking dollar sign, more as a friend helping a friend.

Raluca Gheorghe

We chose to work with Rick and Rochelle after interviewing several other prominent agents in the Beaches area. Best decision ever. After getting one of their flyers in the mail, I decided to contact them - it was Saturday morning, and at 6PM they were at our house. We were selling our house in the Beaches and looking to buy in Guildwood. Their expertise in both areas is what attracted us to them in the first place. But their professionalism and strategic approach to the sale/purchase is what really impressed us. We got such a good vibe from them on that first meeting - they're just so nice. The DeClutes and their team (we worked with Carley a lot too, and she's awesome) made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process - they were super responsive, always available for viewings, and always kept our interest at heart (never pressured us one way or the other). In the end, we found and bought our new house in the Guild, and sold ours all within 2 weeks (obviously excluding some time spent searching for a house in the Guild). In our initial meeting they said - "we will get you your house at the best price possible, and we will sell yours for the most possible", which is really important in this crazy competitive market - and they most certainly delivered on it. We would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell, and we would work with them again in a heartbeat. Raluca & Steve

Teresa Scott

I worked with Nancy who was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. She made the process smooth, stress free and went above and beyond her role as an agent. I would highly recommend her!

Edwin Samuel

Patrick is a very knowledgeable agent who puts his Clients needs first. He helped us navigate the market with valuable insights and opinions. This helped us purchase our first home. He was very patient through the process till we checked all boxes and found the right home. Negotiations were to a set game plan and well handled. I highly recommend him for all of the above plus his punctuality, honesty, responsiveness and an amazing sense of humour.

Steph Young

Adrienne Kassen was our buying agent for a beach property. Throughout the whole process, including post move, she was professional, pragmatic and personable. Her local knowledge and strong business relationships helped immensely and she made what is a stressful time far less so. I would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone.

Sam Rushing

Kylie was extremely helpful and really cared about finding a place for my roommates and I. It was a pleasure working with her and would recommend her to anyone trying to rent in Toronto

Kathy Devine

Rochelle is a true professional and a seasoned expert in Real Estate! She can walk into your home and quickly make recommendations that will help to bring you top dollar for it. Rochelle recognizes that your house is not just an asset but your home that has been filled with memories. She and her team will help to stage your home in order to ensure that it will appeal to any buyer and will always be there for you throughout the whole buying and negotiating process. Kathy Devine

Susan Plummer

For over 10 years now, my husband and I have been working with Rochelle and the DeClute team. They are a knowledgeable, full-service real estate team who provides excellent customer service and support through the entire process of buying and selling. Rochelle and her team are skilled in understanding your properties’ value, preparing it for market with exceptional staging services, negotiating the best price for your home, understanding you & your needs for your dream residence and helping you to find it. We appreciate and have benefitted from their passion, integrity, honesty and thoughtfulness in all our dealings with them. In addition to providing an excellent client experience, the DeClute Team has, over the years, established and supported many events, which have helped to foster a sense of belonging and community including the very popular ‘Light up the Beach’. I would not hesitate to recommend Rochelle and her team for any and all of your real estate needs.

Maureen Romanchych

Adrienne Kassen - a true professional, smart, highly responsive and extremely helpful in our unique situation. We had tenants in our home and she took over all communication to help with a seamless transition. She had a yard clean up crew, house cleaners and staging done in no time at all - without once having to ask for anything! She responds within minutes to any question and provides updates regularly. Adrienne knows the market and she's passionate about her business. She managed to turn a typically stressful time into an easy process and we are most grateful. Highly recommend Adrienne Kassen to anyone looking for an agent in this crazy market!! Thank you Adrienne!! :)

L M

Being over 2,700 kilometres away in another province while trying to sell my downtown Toronto condo can be daunting to say the least ... until I called Emily Norris of DeClute. Throughout the entire selling process, she always put me at ease with her incredible expertise, calm and confident demeanour, honesty and patience. Before selling, I had all the floors redone, also from afar, and without a moment's hesitation she put back all the furniture, artwork and accessories in the right spot after the workers had finished up. She did a beautiful job, and I was shocked at how quickly she did it (she sent me pictures right away)! Everything is above and beyond. When an offer came in, her negotiating skills and instincts for settling on a price are top notch. I highly recommend Emily. She's a treasure in her field and a pleasure to work with! Thank you Emily!

Jango Jam1

It was great

Peter Cuthbert

The people at DeClute Real Estate are consummate pros. Everyone from the front office to the sales agents are knowledgeable, curteous and attentive. I have used DeClute on my most recent transactions and they have been there with strong advice and great service all the way through the process. Their very large philanthropic efforts in their community are icing on the cake.

Nancy Kreiger

What could have been an extremely stressful experience was made manageable - even enjoyable at times - by the professionalism, knowledge, and sensitivity of the DeClute Team, led by Rick and Rochelle. Their market timing was impeccable, their negotiating skills were impressive, and their thoughtfulness was extraordinarily appreciated by us. We recommend the DeClutes wholeheartedly.

savannah rich

Carrie made leasing my first place a dream. I could not be happier with the hard work and dedication she gave to helping me find my perfect home. She is so professional and kind. I highly suggest Carrie to anyone who is looking to lease! you will not regret it!

Greg Larouche

Selling....A very big event that can be quite stressful. The experience,wisdom,and professionalism of the Declute Team made it much easier. They immediately addressed any concerns, prepared you for what came next, and had solid advice. Marty and Steve were allpro!

Adam D

Thank you to the team for helping us find our new apartment.

Zamira Aliko

Karen Kubis was our real estate agent and she is amazing. She helped my husband and I find our dream home despite the harsh real estate market in Toronto. She was very patient with us and very knowledgeable about the market, the areas we were looking at and specific homes. I still reach out to Karen for questions I might have as I value and respect her opinion very much.

Shawn Thoms

I hired Carrie through a recommendation from a friend. It was a bonus that she works for a very respectable and experienced realty organization that is located where I grew up in the Toronto beaches area. Though I moved downtown, it is not far from the beaches, so she was familiar with the downtown area as well. There are many things that Carrie did that helped with the purchase of my first home, but her availability and honesty stuck out the most. We sometimes spent full days driving around to look at potential homes and I am very grateful to have had a realtor with that level of dedication in finding a home that was a true fit for me. I never felt rushed into purchasing a home and, based on my wish list and all of my factors, she always provided an honest opinion regarding whether she thought it was the right fit. I would recommend and have already recommended Carrie to others looking to make their home buying experience as smooth and as efficient as possible. An added bonus to having Carrie assist with the purchase of my home is her vision. She definitely has an eye for interior design, an area where I personally lack and gratefully appreciated her opinion.

Ailis

Rochelle and Rick are both confident, caring, passionate and extremely knowledgeable in their profession. They truly go the extra mile for their clients to receive the best quality of work. The DeClute family not only constantly gives back to the Beach community with their multiple fundraisers, events and charities but, they create a even larger community by bringing everyone together! I would recommend the DeClute team to anyone!

jason westwood

Rochelle has endless patience and has always provided great advice to us to get our properties sold. Despite the slower time the industry was going through Rochelle sold our place at an excellent price. Definitely recommend. Her local knowledge is second to none.

Ibrahim M

Such a great experience - this team was humble and very honest from beginning to end! We were happy to work with Odane Harding and his wonderful team. They had excellent market knowledge, would definitely recommend.

Jennifer Trowbridge

Carrie is honest, reliable and when I sell my home I have all the confidence that she will work hard with my best interests in mind.

Jeff Ekubor

When it comes to real estate I can't begin to express how grateful I am to have Carrie Skidmore in my corner! Such an amazing experience from start to finish! Carrie's instincts for the market are always on point. Nothing inspires confidence like a Broker who talks to you, actually listens to your needs and builds their strategy around your vision. Carrie and her team continually work to get beyond top dollar for your home and will find the right home to perfectly suit your needs. If you are looking for a great Broker end your search here cause you've found her! Carrie and the DeClute team will definitely continue to receive my family's business!

Tammie McNeill

We have been working with Carrie to find a home in Westhill. Although we haven't yet found our perfect place yet she has been persistent in finding places to show us. She is very knowledgeable and professional.

Elaine Jevnikar

My husband, Slav and I have had a marvellous experience in the selling of two properties and purchase of our new condo. Carley Macintosh provided amazing expertise in judgement of market conditions and a keen sense of how to market our properties by use of home staging, a practice totally new to us. The result was sales at over asking for both properties.......terrific!! Carley was instrumental in locating our dream condo in Pickering in a very short time. We are now comfortably settled in our new dream home looking forward to starting our new chapter in our lives. We owe Carley a huge debt of gratitude for her professionalism, expertise and compassion.

Jordan P

Carley McIntosh is one of the best realtors I have ever had the pleasure working with. She exceeded all of my (high) expectations and came through when I needed her most. If there was an option for a 6th star, I cannot think of someone more deserving. Thank you so much, Carley! You have a client for life.

Alisa Sarnese

We sold and purchased our family homes with Tanya Haughey from DeClute Real Estate Inc.. Tanya has the natural ability to handle both transactions with seamless professionalism. Tanya loves what she does and it shows through her passion, drive and confidence to always make sure her clients are happy......and we were defiantly happy!!! When we buy and sell again it will only be with Tanya Haughey from Declute Real Estate Inc.

Ann Bradt

We decided to downsize this year and sell a home that we had lovingly rebuilt room by room. It was a big move for us, but Tanya Haughey was incredible throughout the whole process. Her experience and knowledge of the market was invaluable and she always took time to listen. I definitely felt that we received the 'concierge package', but more importantly we left our family home and have moved into something equally as charming. Tanya we can not thank you enough!

Heather Adler

Sylvia Lindae helped us find the perfect East-end home. She was always super responsive, professional and made excellent recommendations for some improvements that will add value to the home. She also helped us connect to an excellent mortgage broker who laid out many more options than we had previously considered. Despite an unusual offer night caused by the sellers, she was super calm, always supported whatever decision we would ultimately make and totally understanding. She gave us great insights and helped us every step of the way through the process. We could not recommend Sylvia more! You're in great hands working with her.

Paul Flood

Working with Patrick Devine was fantastic and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an Honest and Hard Working agent. Patrick not only found the house I ended up purchasing but he put me at ease throughout the whole process with his professionalism and knowledge of the area I was looking to purchase in. As a first time home buyer he guided me through every step and provided support above and beyond what I expected. Thank you for all of your hard work Patrick and Team DeClute!

Jared Gaber

Josh was a great realtor from day 1. He was always open to looking at houses and boy did we look at a lot of houses. He never pressured us, seemed annoyed, or was ever too busy for our needs. In the end, he was very calmed, collected and negotiated a house in our ideal neighbourhood for under-asking in a time when there were bidding wars everywhere!

Melanie McCourt

We were fortunate enough to find Adrienne when we were searching for a new home. She was/is fantastic and is great with communications. She was even able to help us with finding others to assist in the purchasing of a home. Adrienne made the nerve racking process of buying our first time home easier and more enjoyable. We highly recommend this team!

NKK B

I have had the opportunity to work with the DeClute's on a couple of occasions. Most recently we bought our dream home and sold our first home with Kate Craig. Katie is amazing and our experience was great. I highly recommend Katie and DeClute Real Estate. Scott & Keri Riverdale

Rhoda Corley

Pat assisted us with the purchase of this home 21 years ago and has been extremely helpful in walking us through the process of recently selling it. She advised us clearly of the steps to expect and was patient with our many questions. We thank her and the very capable team who were involved in the staging including Laura, Samm and all the men who did the lifting. Thank you to Pat especially and to all the above mentioned people.

Janet Bas

Carrie is friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Couldn't be happier with her!

Umit Mert

Rochelle from DeClute is a wise, helpful, and supportive agent and from the moment we connected she has been impressively responsive and seemingly very knowledgeable about the industry. She exhibits a high degree of professionalism and integrity and has an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market. She knows the market and she is thorough and prompt on all her communications. I felt that I was always fully informed. She made very clear all steps in the transaction and how the market factors were in play. I have no hesitation in recommending Rochelle to prospective clients. I recommend her highly!

Charla Moskowitz

My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to help us sell our townhouse. By recommendation from our son-in-law, we found Josh Korman to be a true professional beyond words. Day or night, he made himself available to answer questions, offer suggestions, physically help with staging, all completely with tireless effort, the utmost of manners and patience, and, of course, that dimpled smile! His expertise in real estate helped us to sell for, and receive, tens of thousands of dollars more than our asking price. When anyone asks us, Josh Korman always get our recommendation!

Bruce Curtis

We can't thank Pat enough for providing us with a great real estate experience and his professional guidance. Pat did an excellent job in both selling our Downtown Toronto condo and helping us purchase our first home in the Upper Beaches. Pat's deep market knowledge of the Toronto real estate market, combined with his sharp negotiation skills brought us top dollar on our Condo sale and a fair price on our home purchase. He is a thoughtful, honest and hardworking professional and I have recommended him and his team at DeClute Real Estate to my family and friends. My wife and I can't say enough good things about our experience with Pat!

Laura Altilia

Dealing with DeClute Realty has been quite simply, easy! Their knowledge, negotiating skills, thoroughness, and friendliness has been exceptional. We have dealt with Rochelle DeClute, Rick DeClute, and Patrick Devine....all outstanding! Their commitment and support to the community has been amazing....from their “DeClute’s Annual Christmas & Spring House & Garden Show” to the “DeClute’s Light Up The Beach”. As well; from their keen energy and enthusiasm supporting many charities & fundraisers, to selling property with sophisticated style and market knowledge. I have all the confidence in DeClute Realty and would highly recommend them in buying or selling your property! Respectfully, John & Laura Altilia

Chris C

After 17 years of living in the suburbs, my husband and I agreed it was time to move back to the city. We initially met Adrienne Kassen at an open house. She was very approachable and we appreciated her confidence that she would find us a house that met our specific needs and budget. Working with Adrienne was very enjoyable. She understood exactly what we wanted and zeroed in on only those houses that met our needs to save time. She was patient with us and went above and beyond to help with our offer strategy. Adrienne calmly and expertly negotiated a deal and didn’t give up until we had our house. Once the deal was done, Adrienne put us in touch with a lawyer and coordinated walk-throughs. She made the process a lot less stressful than expected and we’re so happy to have a new house in the city, something we’ve always wanted.

Stacey Withers

Thoroughly unimpressed.

Anthony Keating

AMAZING company. Normanne Bland is a smart, responsive, and very helpful professional. I would highly recommend DeClute for all your real estate needs.

Chad Nugent

Always go above and beyond.

Kirsten H

Carrie Skidmore and the DeClute team were wonderful in helping us on our search! We turned to Carrie to help us find a home outside of our current neighbourhood. She was always well organized, made herself available to accompany us to showings that were a distance away and was very proactive in reaching out to potential homes and opportunities. Carrie helped negotiate price once we found a home and made it easy for us! She is knowledgeable, professional and always had a smile on her face! Thanks Carrie and team!

tara jahanian

I worked with Rick DeClute & Krisha to sell my house. They are extremely responsive, trustworthy and professional. First class marketing. I would highly recommend to work with DeClute Real estate if you want to sell/buy.

Julie Wilhelm

Jacqueline Chapman helped us purchase the house of our dreams and we cannot recommend her enough. She was a pleasure to work with throughout this stressful process and we strongly believe that our offer was accepted thanks to her! We found Jacqueline by chance as we were exploring rental options in Toronto. We were new and completely inexperienced about the house purchasing process. Jacqueline always answered our questions with patience and kindness. As we now have learned, buying a house involves a lot of communications with many different entities and individuals, Jacqueline was by far our most favourite person to communicate with. She would reply to our emails quickly with detailed answers to all of our questions. Whenever she didn’t have an answer right away, she would let us know, do her research and get back to us promptly. She was always prepared for house visits and we looked forward to meeting up with her. When time came to put in an offer, she was so supportive and helped us navigate the anxious/excited mess that we were. Jacqueline advocated for us when we put in our offer and we strongly believe that we might not have gotten our house without her. All in all, Jacqueline is a fantastic sales representative and we highly recommend her! Thank you again Jacqueline!

D GK

Kylie's a legend! I've used other realtors in the past and she's definitely #1. She's very knowledgeable and will go up to bat for you if the hunt for a place gets tricky. She had our back 110%. I would recommend her without hesitation.

EVAN PATTERSON

When we decided to list our home, we wanted the best to represent us. We interviewed 4 agents that we had met over the course of going to open houses. Tanya Haughey was one of those agents. Thanks Tanya, we cant thank you and your team enough. The caliber of your negotiating skills are second to none. You demonstrated what Mary and I flagged during our first interview with you, that you had moxie. It took the sale price of our home beyond our wildest expectations. Our home became a record sale in the neighborhood! You truly are a strong negotiator that knew when to hold back and when to steam roller forward. So glad you were on our side.

Carrie Skidmore is definitely your go to women, she listens to exactly what you want and wastes no time for you!

Natalie Pickett

We worked with Rick and his team to sell our home and purchase a new one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rick to anyone looking for an agent. We truly felt no pressure from him when selling/buying and he always made us feel that he was supportive of our choices. Due to his guidance and expertise we were able to make our move and are now settling in to our new home.

I worked with 3 real estate agents in the past three years in an attempt to find a home in the Greater Toronto Area. Unfortunately none of them met my expectations. My friend referred me to Josh Korman and Odane Harding after having positive experiences working with Declute Real Estate Brokerage. What makes Josh and Odane stand out from other real estate agents is that they have strong communication skills, and have vast knowledge in home renovations. Every property that we viewed together both of them always look for areas that require repairs, and gave rough estimates on the cost to remediate the issue. This allowed me to decide whether or not the property was worth putting an offer. They also took the time to create strategies to help me increase my chances of obtaining a home with my tight budget, and meeting other requirements which include a reasonable commute to downtown Toronto. After 5 months of enduring bidding wars, we obtained a freehold townhome in the city! In the real estate industry, there are some agents that only care about profit at the expense of breaking trust and integrity to the client. I felt confident knowing that Josh and Odane had their best interest in me, and understand the stress that first time home buyers go through in a competitive market especially in the Great Toronto Area. I strongly recommend working with Josh and Odane for anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Carrie Skidmore went above and beyond to find us a perfect house! Not only did she research and analyze properties available on MLS, but she also found exclusive and off-market listings to ensure that we considered all the possible options. We highly recommend Carrie Skidmore as she is highly knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. We look forward to work with Carrie in future.

Sarah Downey

I had the privilege of buying and selling a house with Rochelle DeClute this summer/fall. Rochelle is incredibly knowledgeable and patient as we sorted out our options and learned about the real estate market. She has years of experience in the East End of the city, and has a lot of really timely statistics and facts to draw on to guide the process. We spent 6 months looking at houses before bidding on the one we wanted. She never rushed us in any way. Once we'd bought a house, she helped us get our own ready for listing. She had great connections to help us decant, fix up, and prepare our house for sale. It sold in less than a week for $250k more than the asking price. I would highly recommend the DeClute team - they are professional, knowledgeable, and care a lot about their clients and this stressful, yet exciting, process.

Angie Baker

Carrie is so knowledgable and passionate about real estate. She is a thorough professional who is such a pleasure to work with.

Nadia Gregoire

Truly, truly the best experience anyone could ask for. During such a stressful and important time in our lives, Carley McIntosh kept us thoroughly informed and comfortable from the very beginning. She provided sound advice, constant communication and her expertise was so evident! We also want to thank Tarah for her guidance and beautiful staging of our home. We put all of our trust into this team and they exceeded all expectations. THANK YOU ALL!

Noemi Khondo

Adrienne is great and reliable

Theresa Suzuki

Selling a home is a business transaction. And if you are like me, it’s the biggest financial deal of your life. Scary stuff. If you need a lawyer, a doctor, an accountant, a painter... you do your homework and go with the best. Real estate is no different. I actually thought of the DeClute's as my little secret, even though they are no secret at all. They are well respected in the industry, provide classy marketing and amazing staging, they are knowledgeable, generational realtors and precise negotiators - simply a solid team of professionals. The thread that links all these important skills and assets together is also at the core of their business - integrity. The DeClute’s are the complete package from the moment you meet them. They are real and in it for the long haul. Thank you Rochelle, Rick and Emily! for your exceptional expertise (again) in selling our home, and finding a new one. We are very happy.

Chris Scholey

Krisha Patel was a lifesaver! Yes, exaggeration but she definitely helped reduce the incredible stress of having to find a new rental place in a short period of time. Krisha made the whole process very smooth, from finding possible places, viewing them (during a pandemic), and dealing with all the paperwork. A stressful time in our lives...but not as stressful as it could have been. Thank you Krisha!

Toni Weber

We contacted DeClute for help renting out one of our properties and the customer service was incredible, from start to finish. Carley McIntosh acted as our realtor and she provided valuable market insight which helped us list and rent the property within a matter of weeks. She was friendly, communicative and always available whenever we had questions. We look forward to working with her and DeClute again in the future and would 100% recommend them.

Roxanne Collins

We have purchased and sold 4 homes with Patrick Devine. His knowledge and experience always put us at ease and have taken the stress out of buying and selling. His ability to negotiate the best price, regardless of the market, has been impressive! He has made recommendations on closing conditions we had not thought of that would have otherwise been very costly to us. I would highly recommend Patrick Devine.

Marlene BAur

It's been a pleasure getting to know Rick and Rochelle. They are smart, hardworking realtors who care about their clients very much. It's obvious why they are the top realtors in their area. And thanks for sending us a referral. We will take as good care of them as you would!

Cody Nesbitt

Our experiences with the DeClute team, specifically Carley were exceptional. The organization, preparation, and flexibility that she demonstrates truly made us feel incredibly comfortable through our first home purchase. True professionalism!

Leigh Rosar

I worked with Kate Craig when I was looking for a Beach Fixer-Upper to help me make the leap to the next size of house in this uber desirable neighbourhood - 10+ years later I still live in my (now!) beautifully fixed up home and I couldn't be happier!

Laura Goode

Kate Craig helped us buy and sell our home. She is honest, hardworking and personable. During both transactions she was diligent, professional and actually made the process fun!

Shane McCarthy

Katie Craig is a dream to work with. My wife and I were first time buyers on a tight time line and Katie delivered... BIG. She was caring, professional and went above and beyond to get us our first place - all during a global pandemic when appointments were tough to book and the listings were sparse. When we were going to put a pin in the search due to a soaring market Katie encouraged us to keep going. We move in May 2021. Thank you for your efforts, Katie. We're beyond appreciative. - Shane and Gen

Megan Carricato

Kate Craig was wonderful! She was detail oriented, hardworking, organized, available and very patient in our 3 year house hunt. We were so happy with our experience with Kate and the team at DeClute. We would definitely recommend Kate to our family and friends without hesitation.

Sean Billings

Jacqueline was able to help me find an apartment for rent in Toronto in record time! Started looking early September and successfully moved in end of September. Additionally, I had a some specific constraints around lease duration, neighbourhood, and price range, and she was able to tick all of those boxes within a week. Legitimately the best real estate experience that I have ever had.

Justin Cheung

Just a flawless experience from start to end. Carley was an all-star, helping my wife and I secure a lease within 24 hours. It’s obvious that she has a great relationship with her clients, which allowed for efficient communication and never a nervous moment during the whole process. A+++

Karen Kerr

My husband and I engaged Vicki to help us purchase a condo after having sold our home. Vicki was very helpful arranging visits to a number of condos we were interested in viewing. We zeroed in on a condo we wanted to purchase and Vicki went to work to get us an amazing deal. This was an estate sale and was not straight forward as probate had not yet been completed. Vicki gave us excellent advice on where the negotiations should begin. In very short order, Vicki secured us a purchase price with which we are very happy. Vicki has provided excellent service and continues to do so while we wait to close on our new home. We would not hesitate to recommend Vicki.

Sean McKenna

Excellent, knowledgeable service with full staging included with the service and expert negotiation.

Shiba A

A friend of mine referred me to work with Union Realty, I found the sales representative (Odane) to be very professional and knowledgeable about the industry which is one of the many reasons why I decided to work with him. Extremely satisfied with the professionalism and attitude of the entire team!

Caitlin Gillan

Emily and the team at DeClute are incredible, and make a stressful process so much smoother. I had a great experience in buying my first house with Emily, that when I decided to sell and buy again, it was an easy choice to engage her expertise again. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and took the time to get to know exactly what I was looking for so she could tailor the search for me. I had complete faith in her judgement and could tell she held my best interests as her top priority. In selling my house, she made a complex process so much easier - arranged for beautiful staging and photos and a simple system for managing viewings. She made every effort to show my house well and I could not have been happier with the result. She had an eye for the potential for a house and conveyed that so well to her clients. DeClute really creates a sense of welcoming you into their family with community events, newsletters, and friendly faces. The network and system they have in place reinforces their professionalism and their love for what they do.

Peter Mac Neill

Our Agent Patrick was straight forward, calm and confident right from the start. No hard sell.. just smart considered suggestions and a really good sense of market conditions. We recommend him completely

Cindy Yip

We met Adrienne through one of her open house events. She is hardworking, quick to response and personable. She understands finding the right property may take a fair amount of time, and she always follows up with information and updates no matter what. The best part of Adrienne is her excellent customer service.

Lea Cruz

CARRIE SKIDMORE- Carrie is compassionate, dedicated, and highly knowledgeable in her field. She guided my husband and I through the sale of our home which was incredibly stressful and frightening for us, but was also very manageable with her reassurance and constant willingness and eagerness to answer our questions to put us at ease. You couldn't ask for a better agent! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING CARRIE!!!

James Power

We recently used Declute to sell our home and to find us a new home in our new location. The experience was extremely positive and they are extremely professional. Our agent, Josh Korman was fantastic throughout the whole sale and purchase process. He explained all the details of the sale and was always available to respond to questions. Laura and their staging team did a great job getting the house ready for showings. Our house was sold within three weeks and we were able to get what we were asking for. I would definitely recommend them if you are planning to sell your house.

Tania Craig

We had our first experience with DeClute back in 2009. We had previously lived in the Beach and moved North for several years before making the decision to move back. A bit of price tag shock,however, Kate Craig ( no relation to us ????) made everything so easy. She took so much time to work with us through offers and ultimately we got the home of our dreams. She was knowledgeable and always available and helped us navigate the Beach real estate insanity at that time. In the end, we didn't over pay for our house which you really appreciate after 7 years of ownership. As well, Kate never pushed us to just get the deal done, it was all about us,our family and making sure we got the best house ! You definitely need to call Kate if you are buying OR selling. She is a rockstar!!

Adam Heyd

Carley was absolutely fantastic and accommodated our every need. Although we're renting at the moment, we won't hesitate to use Carley as our agent when we do finally decide to buy a home. Her expertise and advice were invaluable and she made our experience seamless and simple!

Nicola Dalton

Tanya Haughey is a knowledgable and dedicated professional. Her sales background and love of real estate make her a five star agent. She listens to what her clents needs and wants are and provides input to help them get what they are looking for. She is friendly, helpful, honest, and client focussed. I would recommend Tanya to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Zoran Blazevski

Carrie Skidmore is amazing! She put up with our craziness for months to help us find our out PERFECT first home. Thank you Carrie !

Melissa Basaraba

Carrie was amazing and I highly recommend her!

Rahel Ahmed

Thanks to Patrick Devine and the team at DeClute for making my experience selling a condo a relatively quick and smooth process. I appreciated the advice, interactions, and responsiveness. It makes all the difference when you are working with people who know what they are doing.

Min Kim

Please stop soliciting in our building. I wouldn't be choosing a broker based on who slaps junk mail on my door first.

Andrea Mansfield

I can't speak highly enough of the experience that my husband and I had working with the DeClute team. From the first moment that we spoke with Rick and then Courtnie, we knew this would be a great working relationship. Selling our home is obviously a major deal and we did our due diligence reading every single Google review and calling three independent references-we were not disappointed but in fact, felt that the references were thoughtful and realistic with their compliments and helped to manage our expectations. From the staging to the negotiations, follow up questions and general nerves, Rick and his team were consummate professionals. I should just add that Rick himself is the real deal. I remember looking out the window one afternoon, just before the house was going to hit MLS, and seeing Rick breaking down the dilapidated arbour that had been in our backyard for years. Rick took the arbour apart and carried it to his truck, piece by piece-he did it himself. This attention to detail and care carried through our whole experience which was a long 6 month close. I highly recommend DeClute and it is my pleasure to provide this review-my first on Google!

Tom Affleck

We absolutely loved working with Rochelle and the Declute team. We would recommend them to anyone

Lola P

I've worked on various projects with Carrie over the years and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hardworking, dedicated, customer service oriented realtor!

Elena Igwe

Just from one or two short initial phone calls, Josh lined up a slew of places for me to look at in the areas that were most conducive to my commute and the community aspects I was looking for. Once I decided on an apartment, the paperwork was quick and all via secure email, so very easy. Josh was super friendly and easy to get along with and spend then day with!

Sherri K

We had an amazing experience with the Declute team. Our agent is Adrienne Kassen. She is professional, knows the industry, helped us make decisions throughout the process in a respectful way, and did it all with a smile. We loved the staging of the house and appreciated the care they took for all our stuff. I highly recommend Adrienne Kassen and the Declute team.

Renata Richardson

Carrie is a true gem - lovely, smart, professional, personable, knowledgeable and effective. I highly recommend her!

Polina Rodgers

We worked with DeClute Real Estate and Kate Craig on the sale of our condo and purchase of our house. We could not have been happier with the whole experience and final outcome. Kate was excellent at understanding our needs and helping us navigate the market. We absolutely love the location and house we ended up in. Huge thank you!

Sweet Pete

We sold our house last month using DeClute Real Estate and the experience was absolutely amazing. They did anything and everything to make the selling and moving experience as easy as possible. Josh Korman was our agent and he looked after our every need right down to the smallest detail. He was always available to answer any questions we had and always took the time to explain to us everything about the selling process. He got us multiple offers and we sold in 1 week and over asking. The staging team led by Laura did a fantastic job. They took all the worry out of us furnishing the home. They made my house look so good, all their furniture and artwork really showed how staging is 100% worth it. I can’t say enough positive things about Rick DeClute and his team. Thank you so much Josh Korman for all your hard work... I will highly recommend you to anyone I know looking to sell their home. Cheers

Karen Bell

Kate Craig is an absolutely 5 star realtor. We would have no hesitation in working with Kate again or in recommending her to our friends and family. As first time home buyers, and in such an overwhelming marketplace, Kate hit the perfect balance between being there with us in every step, while also providing the space and confidence to reach our own decisions. Kate was consistently fantastic during all aspects of the buying process. She was patient while we jumped around on prices and areas (we never felt pressured to make a decision or a bid), she helped us recognize the potential in options we had naively ruled out and was a killer negotiator on the night of our offer (Kate's experience and strength saved us $25K in not caving to the seller's demands). Even after our offer had been accepted, Kate stayed with us through the close to make sure everything went well. Kate continues to be a helpful and dependable resource for our new area. We feel very lucky to have found her and would recommend Kate highly. Finally, in addition to her professional experience and acumen, Kate is also a lovely person to work with.

Vicki is a skilled and able agent, who almost magically found us a new home in record time. She made a substantial effort to understand our needs and concerns, and she was available at a moment’s notice to help us find the perfect place.
