Sylvia Reda - Testimonials

From the start, you were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful, always keeping us informed throughout the process. You made a stressful situation so much more manageable and I have to say it was one of the best customer experiences I've had in a long time. I would highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We appreciate your dedication and availability during some challenging times during the process. From the beginning to the end, Sylvia is there for you +100%.

Warm, yet professional, persistent without being pushy, she possesses keen real estate knowledge and is an excellent communicator. Sylvia's genuine interest in our needs as clients was demonstrated by her ability to truly learn what we valued in a property, evidenced by the quality referrals that she sent our way. We valued her honest assessment of the many homes we viewed, in person and online. Sylvia effectively used technology to communicate and to enhance our online property viewings from our residence in Alberta, helping us learn more about the GTA as we assessed the quality properties provided. She clearly enjoys being a realtor and excels due to her strong work ethic, dedication, ability to learn and professionalism, evident to anyone who meets with her. In addition, she referred us to excellent legal assistance and home inspection services, expediting our out of province purchase. Based upon our experience, we recommend Sylvia Reda as realtor.

We knew her well from our neighbourhood and her success in making sales happen close to home. Working with Sylvia provided us further respect and support of her ability to market and sell our home. Sylvia worked hard on our behalf and always provided informed feedback. We were so pleased with her support and professional sales experience that we would highly recommend Sylvia as an agent. Thanks so much!

She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and does not pressure you to make any decision. We will recommend Sylvia to everyone.

She took time to explain and walk me through every step along this journey. She was always prompt and returned calls and updated me with every detail. She got my family home in a magazine and has tugged my heart many times with her thoughtfulness and efforts. I have known Sylvia for a long time and was blessed to have her be the one to help me sell my family home. With all my heart. Thank you!

She was professional, responsive, and efficient; she met all our expectations and more. In a time that can be exciting, hectic, and filled with anxiousness, the experience was comforting and trouble-free

Despite the number of potential buyers bidding on the property, Sylvia made it a stress-free experience. Her expertise and professionalism was really evident as she guided us through from the initial showing to the closing process. The law office she recommended was also very efficient. We placed our complete trust in Sylvia because we knew she had our best interest at heart. "We couldn't have done it without you, Sylvia.

.. but more importantly she became our lifelong friend. I do not have the words to express what she meant to us. From the very first meeting she was warm, caring, knowledgeable and professional. She always acted with our best interests at heart and never pressured us. If we had any questions, she moved heaven and earth to find those answers. She has an extensive knowledge of the home buying process, real estate, regional geography and eye for value. Her knowledge and experience was invaluable in helping us find our dream home. She surprised us so many times when she went above and beyond during our house search. Whether it be a question on renovation, permits, construction or landscaping, she always seemed to have the answers. She truly cares for her clients. We laughed together, cried together and found a house together. We could have hired anyone to help us buy a home. But we were so blessed to have Sylvia- she is one of a kind and we could not have asked for better help or guidance in our house search. We will be forever grateful and I hope she knows we will always be there for her too. In our opinion, she is the best!

Firstly, Sylvia's exceptional work ethic combined with her empathy and compassion resulted in reducing our stress and anxiety surrounding this transaction. Secondly, Sylvia and Phinney's marketing strategy and implementation was practically a turnkey first class solution to getting our home listing seen, viewings booked, and ultimately sold within about 36 hours for above a properly estimated asking price. Sylvia and her team know what they are doing and they bring the best stagers, photographers, and videographers (3D interior and external drone footage) together to make it happen. We would not hesitate to recommend them enthusiastically, as well as call on them again the next time we need real estate services.

My husband and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate broker. And it is not simply because she is great at her job. Yes, Sylvia has great experience (and a great record for getting things sold or finding that special place for you), yes, she works really hard for you and yes, she is passionate about what she does. But that is not all of it. You might be able to find other brokers who are like that too. For Sylvia it is also about the intangibles – the other ‘stuff’. Sylvia really respects her clients, she listens (and is patient when you have “better ideas”), and she understands that selling the house you have lived in for 30 years is hard. She is there when she tells you she is going to be there. She reaches out just to check in and to chat about how things are going and she really cares about the people she works with and for. The sale of our house was much more painless than we thought, we are pleased with the results of our sale, and we are grateful that Sylvia was part of the journey. We had friends who recommended Sylvia and we are very glad we listened

Initially I was calling just to make an inquiry and asked to be put through to any available agent. This is when lightening struck; I was paired with Sylvia Reda, whom was very attentive and made herself available to accommodate my home search immediately. My search unfolded rather quickly and as with any home purchase, stress levels can be high. Sylvia was a beacon of both calm and professionalism, offering words of encouragement throughout. This is what really made her stand out from the rest! The market is flooded with agents, I’ve dealt with several in the past, both good and bad. Sylvia is exceptional and I’m grateful to have found her. I absolutely will have her represent my real estate needs in the future and anyone who is searching for an agent, do NOT hesitate to hire Sylvia!

When it came time to list our parents home years later in the same area, her name immediately came to mind even though we had no previous experience working with her. We wanted to find an agent that was very experienced, fully dedicated to the profession, responsive, personable, and transparent. From the first meeting with Sylvia, it was evident that she ticked all of these boxes and she thoroughly answered our many questions. The journey of clearing and listing our parents home was a very emotional one, and it was very comforting for the three of us siblings to have Sylvia supporting us through this process. The kindness, empathy and support she provided eased this challenging journey in our family with a very successful outcome. She walked us through the process not just with her mind and hands, but also with her heart. She provided tangible and economical recommendations to improve the home before listing which made a big difference and ensured the staging of the home was impeccable. She followed through on time with all of her commitments with us and went above and beyond, even bringing us some special cleaning supplies from her own home and frequently checking in to ensure everything was in order. The process all went smoothly according to plan which we had discussed months ahead from staging, listing with photos and video, showings, and eventual closing. Even if something were to have gone off the rails, we were confident and trusted Sylvia to help us manage through the situation with her experience. We had multiple offers within a couple days on the competitively priced home which surpassed our expectations. Sylvia is also a very strong yet fair negotiator and is truly skilled at her craft. I am sure working with 3 sisters and one living in a different province is not a typical client for Sylvia, but she made it work seamlessly for all of us where we were all comfortable with the decisions we made together. If you are reading this, you may be considering Sylvia as your real estate agent and we advise you not to hesitate in making that decision – your future self will thank you. We feel very grateful to have worked with Sylvia on this milestone event in our lives and fully recommend her to others. Thank you Sylvia – the positive difference you have made for the three of us is beyond words.

She spent time with us understanding our house requirements and budget. Over the next 6 months, she did her research, sent us listings and spent a lot of time with us at open houses. Just before we found our home, she provided us with a lot of comparative analysis and took the time to ensure we were offering a competitive bid. With Sylvia, we knew we were in good hands. She never rushed us with anything, and always accommodated our busy schedules. She really got to know our family to try to find the right house, to match our personality. Sylvia led us through the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. There were challenges along the way, but Sylvia managed them for us, taking the stress away and making it truly a positive experience. Almost a year later, Sylvia still keeps in touch and always makes us feel like a part of her family. If we decide to purchase or sell a property in the future we will be calling Sylvia again to represent us.

She was extremely helpful in navigating me through an incredibly competitive Toronto market; that I was beginning to believe would be impossible now for me to purchase what I was looking for. After countless tries, Sylvia helped me secure the right place for me, that in about 3 weeks after purchasing already seems to be worth more than what I had paid! Would 100% recommend.

She truly was a partner (and a trooper!), joining us on our search for the perfect home in a new city for us. Her advice, critical eye and upbeat demeanour were always much appreciated.. And we can’t say enough about how she helped us seal the deal on selling our current home in a tough market. We always felt that she was there for us and left no stone unturned in finding potential buyers. Thanks again, Sylvia!!

Sylvia took the time to get to know us, hear what was important to us and we never felt like she was too busy for us. Sylvia knows the market really well and did her homework to advocate for us to get the best deal possible in both transactions. We would highly recommend Sylvia for your next purchase or sale!

She was incredibly professional and went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was our house sold in less than one week, it went for over asking! We couldn’t be happier with the entire process and working with Sylvia!

We were very impressed from the start with the professionalism and knowledge level. Sylvia instilled confidence in us and trust. The entire process went smoothly. Her advice on improvements to maximize the return on our property came to fruition. We highly recommend Sylvia and the team at Phinney. Do not hesitate, give her a call !

Overall, myself and my brother have had a positive client experience, working closely with Sylvia and your team. Sylvia has been highly responsive and accountable and has provided trusted local advice during our recent transaction. She also helped us successfully navigate through a multiple offer situation, and ensured we were able to maximize value, while ensuring a clean closing. I would certainly recommend Sylvia, and use her advice and services in the future.
