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, After having our home on the market twice for a period of about 7 months with two other listing agents, it sold within 3 weeks after listing with Lorne. He does not put the pressure on. Lorne listed our home for more that we originally wanted and to my surprise, we got it. We would use him again. We met him at the right time, just before or new home closed. We have owned three homes and he is one of the best in terms of his professionalism and friendliness. You passed the agent test Lorne. Mark Moncrieffe & Donna Reid-Moncrieffe  - 26 Harthill Court, Brampton, On 

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, We cannot thank you enough for selling our house so quickly. Your straightforward, courteous, and professional approach made the entire experience a pleasure with hardly any impact on our day-to-day lives. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. Furthermore, we will be sure to call you when we begin the search for our next property.

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 

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, 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.

Lorne, It has been wonderful working with you for the past 20 plus years.  We always appreciate your honesty, integrity and hard work in helping us to sell and purchase our new homes.  Even during those times of stressfulness, you always had a calm assuredness about you that helped to put our minds at ease.  Without hesitation you will be contacted when we decide to make our next move. Lou and Linda Cera - 19 Giles Rd.
