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, We want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your genuine concern and always looking out for our interest.  It is truly rare these days to find a "salesperson" that you can really trust and know they are looking out for your involvement in the process. It has truly been both a professional and personal pleasure getting to know you. We would not hesitate to refer anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home directly to you. Kathy Lewis - 24 Brookland Dr, Brampton.

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

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, 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 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, 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.
