As first time buyers we had a lot to learn and felt very lucky to have Merete leading us through the home buying process. Merete’s passion is unmatched and it is her great instincts that truly set her apart. She genuinely listens to what you want out of not just your home, but also the neighbourhood you want to be a part of. Merete is highly professional and is enthusiastic about the right home for you when you find it, something we really wanted as excited first time buyers. Once we found our home she expertly handled the negotiating process and understood our emotional investment in “the” home - going above and beyond to secure us our dream house . We could not be more grateful to have found her (all of my cousins have used her too!) and we won’t use anyone else going forward. Beyond being a highly skilled and professional agent she is a deeply kind and gracious person - she is exactly the agent you are looking for but didn’t think existed!

Merete was fantastic to work with from start to close. She is extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods in Toronto and helped us narrow down our search to ones that were a great fit for us. She is super on the ball and responsive, often meeting us within hours of listings coming out to give us the best edge possible. We love the place we ended up purchasing with Merete’s support, and she helped us through some post-signing hiccups to ensure everything was on track. Would recommend her to anyone selling or buying!

A friend referred me to Merete as a serious and conscientious person: I can confirm it.
Thanks to her services, I was able to buy my condo remotely.
Her strengths: fast responses and actions, a sharp knowledge of the Toronto housing market, exemplary professionalism.

Merete was fantastic! She helped us find the perfect loft. She was knowledgeable and was able to get us a great place with all of the character we were looking for.

Merete helped to sell our house and buy our dream home, all in a matter of three weeks! Needless to say, it was a very chaotic time and we could not have asked for a better agent than Merete to support us every step of the way. Merete was quick to respond to all of our questions and always made herself available for showings, even on short notice. Merete has incredible knowledge of Toronto’s various neighbourhoods and real estate trends, as well as a keen eye for detail (including great decorating tips, which we totally followed!). Merete was refreshingly candid with us in evaluating homes and extremely honest, fair and professional in her negotiations, even in time-sensitive and competitive situations. Most importantly, Merete is FUN to work with and takes a personal interest in her clients. We absolutely loved our experience with Merete and would happily and highly recommend her

Merete was such a pleasure to work with! She made my first home buying experience super quick, easy and pressure free. She was always very responsive, quick to turn around listings and schedule showings, and gave great advice on how to offer. I would definitely recommend Merete to anyone new to the market!

Merete was an absolute pleasure to work with as we purchased our first home. She is responsive, organized and professional. She also offers a keen sense of design, and her own immaculate taste! We have already recommended her (to another happy home-buyer!), and will continue to do so going forward.
— Karline N. and Paul K., Winter 2018
We had a wonderful time buying our first home with Merete. She has raised the bar for us in terms of service and reliability. She had great insights on areas in the city as well as good information on schools and real estate value which helped us in making good decisions. She also found us a great home, under budget that we would have surely missed out on if she wasn’t so sharp. We look forward to referring people to her for years to come so they can have the same experience we did

Merete went above and beyond to help us get our dream townhouse for a great price! She took us through the home buying process step by step and before we knew it we were putting in our offer! She helped us understand the market pricing, different financing options and connected us with the right people to help make the closing a smooth transition. We look forward to working with her again.

We met Merete in the early days of renovating 740 Logan Ave. Merete was extremely valuable to the success of the project - she brought with her many professional and creative ideas that helped us build our dream home that reflects local tastes and preferences. Merete has integrity, professionalism, and a customer-first approach. It was a pleasure working with Merete and we recommend her to all our friends!
— Dorit S., Spring 2017
Merete was an absolute joy to work with! As first-time home buyers, we had endless questions. Merete made special efforts to ensure that we fully understood the process and resolved any concerns that we had. She was always easy to reach and keen to help us navigate the Toronto real estate market and renovation process. Thanks to her relentless diligence, Merete found us a deal in Toronto’s hot real estate market in one of the best downtown neighbourhoods in the city! We really appreciate how patient she was with us, as well as her candidness and sense of humour. This made the process not only stress-free, but fun too :) Thank you!

Merete was referred to me by a friend. I wasn’t finding what I was looking for with the previous agent I had, and once I started working with Merete, I found an amazing spot!
She was very personable and explained everything to me that I needed to know. I had many questions as I was a first-time buyer. Her input and professional opinion on the properties and areas of the city were extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.
— Carly A, Summer 2016
We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us with the purchase of our first home! Merete’s expertise and knowledge of the Toronto real estate market was invaluable. She always made time to take us to showings (on extremely short notice) and answer our questions no matter what. It was a pleasure working with Merete and I would highly recommend her!
— Laura S. and Jonah G., Spring 2016
I wanted to send a letter to thank you for the outstanding work you did on the sale of our condo. Our Real Estate experience with you was unlike any other that we have had.

From the initial visit to the end of sale, the experience was exceptional: the expert advice on the listing price of the home, which was considerably higher than we expected; the professional package you provided that outlined your commitment to us, your experience in the industry and the comparable properties in the area; the staging which was tasteful and reasonably priced allowing us to showcase the condo at its very best, with professional photos and finally completing a sale with ease for much more than we anticipated. With all of that, I think the best part was your sense of humour and the genuine care with which you treated our family.
— Marlene N., Fall 2015
Merete was solely responsible for a wonderful first home buying experience. From the start, she was able deduce what I was looking for better than I had been able to; She, then, was excellent at sorting out through the noisy Toronto real estate market, making the searching process focused and efficient; And, finally, her knowledgeable advise, meaningful insights, accurate and timely information, and impeccable attention to detail were a great support throughout the entire process.

It was a pleasure to work with Merete, and I am happy to eagerly recommend her!
— Antea K., Summer 2015
We cannot thank Merete enough for all of her hard work and support throughout our first home buying experience. From the moment we met her, she made the entire experience fun and exciting. She was extremely patient with us, answered all of our questions in great detail and helped to make the process as stress free as possible. Merete made helping us find our first home her priority, and went out of her way to get us our dream home. We could not have asked for a better person to work with throughout this experience, and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Merete, you made our dream come true!
— Myles P. and Sara P., Summer 2015
Thank you Merete. You really did a fantastic job. We are very pleased with the outcome and with the level of service you provided. It truly was as good as it can get!
— Chris R., Summer 2015
As first-time home buyers, we were completely overwhelmed until we met Merete. She knew when to ask the right questions to help us decipher what we truly wanted in our home. She helped us through the stressful Toronto market with patience and a strong commitment to finding us a home that suited both our budget and lifestyle. Her knowledge of all pockets of the city was a huge benefit; she introduced us to a neighborhood that we hadn’t considered before, but ended up falling in love with. We couldn’t be happier with the experience of buying our first home with Merete’s guidance.
— Matt T. and Claire P., Spring 2015
Merete is the best! I went through the process of finding a home with her & I just couldn’t be happier with Merete’s service!!

I recently moved from Vancouver to Toronto & as you can imagine it was a pretty stressful time but Merete just put me at ease with the whole experience of trying to find a place to live. She was extremely knowledgeable with knowing all the areas around the GTA & what each neighborhood had to offer which I found enormously helpful in deciding where I wanted to be. She was also very patient in really letting me take the time to make the decision that was right for me. All of this with a wonderfully positive, pleasant & joyful attitude. It made finding my cozy nest here in Toronto so much easier & it was great to see her smiling face each time we met, which was so reassuring when you are not sure where to begin.

Thank you so much for all your help Merete!!
