Lorne is Still Going Strong 40 Years Later and Loving Every Minute of it!

Lorne, We have always felt that you have gone the extra mile for us, with the purchase & sale of our five different properties.  We trusted your realistic suggestions & know that your expertise is backed by 24 years of real estate experience. You have always been innovative & flexible. Your professional associates i.e. stagers, photographer, lawyer & home inspector made our moves seamless & smooth. Chris Simon & Sandra Labine - 14 Harrop Ave, Etobicoke

Lorne, We owe you a deep debt of gratitude for helping us sell our house and buy a new one. Thanks for being so courteous, respectful, and professional in your dealings with us. We have had other moves in the past but none that were guided so expertly by the agent. We always felt throughout the entire process and even after the sold sign was put up, that you genuinely cared about our family, Thank you. Debbie, Geoff, Muirgen, Jacob & Bradley Baker 
- 32 Blueridge Sq, Brampton

Lorne, We really cannot express our gratitude for all your hard work and professionalism in finding our family the perfect home.  Through the years, you have outdone yourself in helping us with the moves we have made to suit our lifestyle, completely understanding our needs each time.  Your expertise is irreplaceable and made each move worry free.  You are our life-long agent. Once again, thank you. Carol Garofalo & Mimo Abdelatty - 29 Pinellas Drive, Brampton

Lorne, Thank you for helping us find our dream home. We appreciate all the hard work and late hours that you put into sell our home. Hopefully, we will never have to move again, but if we do, we will be sure to call you. If any of our friends are moving, we will highly recommend you, Thanks again. Janet & Mike Dunlop - 25 Barnes Court, Brampton.

Lorne, Thank you for helping our mother with the sale of her house.  The experience working with you this past week has been incredibly positive especially considering we lost our father a few weeks ago. I know my mother was in good hands and we would certainly recommend your services in future. Madeleine Milsom (Daughter) of Owners: 6 Aspenwood Trail, Caledon

Lorne, You were a consummate professional when it came to buying and selling our home. You provided keen insight into the processes and procedures of the Ontario system making it easy for us to purchase and ultimately sell. Lorne's superior knowledge of the Brampton market and community allowed us to make excellent decisions without wasting any time. His knowledge of the business community allowed us to secure a lawyer to help close the deal and a contractor to carry out renovations - both were outstanding. Simply put Lorne provided excellent customer service where we were treated with dignity and respect. His "full service" approach was extremely helpful, and should we ever find ourselves back in Metro Toronto we would definitely seek Lorne's services again. Darrin Martins and Ian Thoms - 702-26 Hanover Rd, Brampton

Lorne, We just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your help in selling our property. You were a pleasure to work with. We never felt pressure from you. You just presented the details and let us make our own decisions and you welcomed our many phone calls and texts. We really appreciate your care and attention. And we will gladly recommend your services to our families and friends. Thanks again. Al & Donna Shipway - 27 Dawson Rd, Orangeville, ON.

We recently navigated the sale of my parents home following the passing of both of my parents within a 3 week time frame. My wife and I live in California so it was a very complicated situation. Lorne navigated and assisted us in every aspect, from renovation prior to sale, to an attorney to handle the probate,, and finally the sale. He is an avidly focused representative of his client. My wife and I cannot say enough about his professionalism and could not imagine having used anyone else. - Mike and Lorna Whyte - 24 Bedford Cres, Brampton, On

Lorne, You made the experience of selling our condo and buying our new home very comforting and calming. At first, we were not really ready to sell because we had just finished a number of renovations and it was in the middle of the pandemic. After seeing, hearing your presentation, strategy of selling our condo, and how you were going to assist us in buying a new home, we were so excited with your enthusiasm, passion, confident, and experience and that we were convinced to start the process. You made thing happen real fast for us, we found and purchased a beautiful new home in a great neighbourhood, even before getting an offer on our condo. That was the trust, confidence, and faith we had in you. You made both transactions close smoothly on the same day. Thank you Lorne, for all your help we are very happy in our new home. Cathlene Christy - 102-10 Malta Ave., Brampton, On 

Lorne, We cannot thank you enough for making our moving experience so smooth and straight forward. Your thoroughness and thoughtfulness at each point - in both our purchase and our sale was greatly appreciated. Your dedication to your work and time spent on every detail made the whole process feel effortless. You provide more than that required of you, and for us that was peace of mind. Thank you for everything! Hope you have a great holiday season too! Hope the new year brings you great things, Take care., Donna and Jeff Romeo - 161 Carters Way, Rockwood.

Lorne, Professionally and personally, we consider you a person of high moral integrity and character. You are committed to excellence in your work. Keep up your outstanding efforts. Feel free to use us as a reference as you see necessary. We would highly recommend you. Linda & Ian McGill - 26 Santa Cristo Crt, Wasaga

Lorne is a trustworthy realtor who you can trust with unwavering confidence. In our first meeting with Lorne, we immediately appreciated his experience, knowledge, transparency, organization, and guidance as we prepared to consider listing our home. In searching for a house, Lorne was available 24/7, and took the time to find us a home that met all our (somewhat unrealistic) expectations. When it came time to make an offer on our dream home, Lorne was aggressive and eager, and took complete, timely control of the transaction. We knew that we had someone fighting in our corner to secure the purchase, while respecting our limitations and ensuring our comfort throughout the entire process. In listing our home, Lorne provided insight in staging, took care of preparing professional brochures of our property, and marketed our home to run several successful open houses on a long weekend with only four days’ notice. Inevitably, we had a bidding war on the Monday of a long weekend, three days after we listed. Lorne secured an offer for us that was $15,000.00 over asking, and his attention to detail throughout the entire process ensured that the transaction proceeded with no hiccups or interruptions. The conditions that he recommended for the sale of our current home and purchase of our new home allowed us to sleep easily at night throughout this process, as we felt in complete control of the outcome. In dealing with Lorne, it felt like having a family member represent us that we could trust wholeheartedly. He patiently answered all our questions and aligned us with numerous contacts who were ultimately reliable and trustworthy. We would recommend Lorne with the highest confidence to all our friends and family and foresee success in all his future real estate transactions. You are wonderful Lorne! All the very best (and we will be in touch when we are ready to host you for a drink!) Thank you for everything, Shane & Christine Cote & Family - 24 Nutmeg St, Brampton, On

Lorne, From the moment I first met you, I felt an instant sense of trust with you. History has proven my instincts right. You have made all my moves a breeze. I will continue to highly recommend you, thank you for always going the extra mile. Jean Lowery - 76 Burgby Ave, Brampton

We have done several transactions with Lorne, buying, and selling several houses with him going back some 20+ years. There is a reason why one continually goes back to the same resources, whatever that resource may be, and that is no exception here. Lorne is by far superior in his field. He is loyal, honest, has a work ethic in his industry second to none, which all speaks to his integrity. Every transaction (and there have been many) has been completely seamless without fail, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat for us on more than one occasion. To say he has represented our interests and needs time and time again, without a single issue is an understatement. He just comes through for us! I have personally observed him outhustle, outwit, and outmaneuver other agents time after time. So much so, we have personally recommended his services to all my family and friends without hesitation. As mentioned, he is the perfect combo of honestly, loyalty, industry knowledge, and integrity, as well, has a set of connections for what seems like every single possible circumstance, home related or not! In our latest venture, Lorne’s, staging, strategy, and perseverance got us multiple offers, SOLD above ask, and firm! In closing, Lorne has become much more than our top choice realtor, he has become a trusted and loyal friend. He has become such a valued member of our team that we have contemplated this out loud, “What the heck are we to do if the day comes and Lorne decides to hang it up, and ride into the sunset?” But for now, we are grateful to have Lorne in our corner each time we try and navigate the complicated world of real estate! Jeff Waite & Jackie Seguin - 50 Settler Court, Brampton, On 

Many years ago I was working in my yard when this real estate agent who happened to be Lorne Deffett approached me and asked if I was going to be selling my house in the near future. I told him at the moment I wasn't interested. Anyway he kept sending me his writing pads. Then circumstances in my life changed and I decided to sell my house. Not knowing any real estate agent I found one of his writing pads and called Lorne. From the first moment I met him I had the feeling he was someone you could trust. He was very professional in every way. He went above and beyond helping me get my house cleaned out. He kept me up to date every day and I looked forward to his calls. He certainly is an asset to the Remax Real Estate company. - Arlene Groves - 104 West Street Brampton

Lorne, your knowledge of the business was overwhelming.  You always took the time to ensure I understood contracts, rules and kept on the tails of the property management persons to help me get the items on the “wish” list.  I could never have moved forward with confidence for this deal without your guidance. And to think this was simply a rental. I would highly recommend your knowledge and dedication to any who asked. Heather Frost - 6 Birchfield Cres, Caledon.

We thought that Selling our house and buying a new house during COVID was going to be risky, but I must say we had the best man for the job in Lorne Deffett.  Selling our condo townhouse had a few ups and downs but Lorne went over and above to help us sell and that we did in no time and then we started looking for our new home we had Lorne driving from Brampton to Orangeville to Erin until we found our dream home in Bolton. Lorne was a pleasure to work with and through it all Lorne became more then our real estate agent, he became a friend. Lorne was highly recommended to me and now I know why. Thank you, Lorne, for everything you did for our family. Jamie Andrews & Crystal McBain - 77-45 Hansen Rd, N, Brampton

Lorne, You repeatedly exceeded all expectations that I had. You worked tirelessly from dawn till dark. Leo Plaxton - 5 Hunt Club Dr, Brampton, On.

Lorne, Sincere thanks, to tell you how much your thoughtfulness has meant. Bev & Pat Nugent - 36 Sifford Court, Brampton

Lorne, You continue to be a salesperson who tells it like it is. One person in the real estate business we can really trust. We will continue to refer you to family and friends. You always manage to go above and beyond the call of duty. We believe it is coming up to 12 years now that we have had your help. Thanks for all the years of service. To prospective homebuyers Lorne is a referral well worth looking into. John & Terri Metcalfe  - 42 Hood Crescent, Brampton.
