It is without a doubt one of (if not the most) biggest decisions a person will make in their lifetime when selecting a home for themselves and/or family. In the midst of a booming housing market nowadays this decision has become increasingly stressful particularly to first time home buyers who face challenges such as coming up with a 20% down payment, lack of inventory and general lack of affordability within the GTA.

Having said this, it is merely an understatement to say that partnering with a realtor who has passion, extensive knowledge and the ability to execute is a must.... and Lou, you demonstrate all the above and more. You always put your best forward and held true to our best interests. It is comforting to know that there are people like you out there who truly want the best for their Clients and who give their honest and educated opinions, regardless of what it means for the Sale.

Your accommodative nature is exemplified throughout and your ability to provide clear and concise statistics in a timely fashion was a feature that I couldn't have gone without. It is with your professionalism and organization that my husband and I find ourselves in a home that fit the budget, is perfectly located and was a breeze to bid on. Not to mention that you were always prepared with necessary stationary, tools and tips!

Our experience with you was truly a 5 star experience with in my opinion, the best service a home buyer could obtain in the GTA. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring about our decision and being a part of it! You are in our eyes a breathe of fresh air and we will be referring you to anyone and everyone we know!

Thank you and all the best!!!!

Thank you Lou for helping us to sell our Ajax home in 4 days for well over our asking price!  

You helped us buy our home 9 years ago, and we didn't think twice about returning to you to help us sell it. 

You are a professional and knowledgeable agent with great people skills.    

Thanks again Lou for making this experience so easy!

Lou,

It's been almost three months since we began our search for a house to come home to after being abroad for five years, and we are so glad we had Lou to help us with this process.

In this crazy market where it would be easy for an agent to just do the bare minimum to make a quick commission, Lou continuously puts his clients' interests first.

After showing us several houses while we were in town for a short visit, Lou was charged with finding our new home via emails and phone calls. He was able to really understand what was important to us and look at our potential new homes through our eyes.

Although the journey was long and sometimes frustrating, Lou was always professional, patient, and quick to respond to our requests. His commitment to serve our best interest was evident in both his words and actions. Never trying to oversell, his approach is best summarized by his comment during one of our phone conversations. "I want to find the right house for you and your family, something you will be happy with. That's important to me."

Lou went beyond the call of duty to accommodate our needs given we were abroad, and through his perseverance and hard work, managed to get us our new home.

We would recommend Lou to anyone and would definitely call on him again if we move in the future.

Thankyou so much Lou for everything! You are truly fantastic.

Hi Lou,

Once again thank you!!
You made the process much easier than we could ever imagine. As first time home buyers we were excited but also nervous. You guided us through every step and ensured that we understood everything. You are a true professional, a champion of your craft. Looking forward to dealing with you again in our next purchase!

We were recently looking to purchase a home and walked into an open house hosted by Lou Rubino. Lou introduced himself and after a short conversation it was evident that he had a passion for what he does.  Having encountered negative experiences in the past, we were initially on guard. However, having grown up in the area, Lou was very familiar with our old neighbourhood and the Mimico area we were looking to purchase in.  He immediately made us feel at ease, allowing us to trust his advice on what to look for in a home purchase. 

Lou conducted his business in a professional manner.  He was honest in his advice and possesses outstanding analytical skills.  He has a remarkable ability to tackle issues in a respectful and timely manner.  He understood what our needs were and worked towards ensuring we found the perfect home.  His vision and advice was invaluable, suggesting when a home was priced incorrectly, or foreseeing potential issues for a future resale.  He was always available when called upon, he is reliable and honest.  He never pushed us into making a quick decision;  he researched important aspects of the home purchase to us and went the extra mile to check out schools, transportation and even went to Toronto City Hall to ensure all construction permits were closed.  With Lou’s guidance we made an informed decision on our home choice and did not rush into an emotional purchase. 

We were very happy that we chose to work with Lou Rubino for our recent home purchase, he took the time to understand what we were looking for and was patient with us through the process. We strongly recommend him and thank him for helping us find our new home.

As a first time home buyer I felt confident with Lou as my agent. Over the past year Lou has been a great help in finding my perfect home. Lou is all about "His" clients. He is honest, trustworthy, and is always looking out for your best interest. I would not have changed a thing working with Lou. All I wish was I met him sooner.

I recommend Lou 100%  to everyone who wants a,no hassle, no headache, straight shooting agent. 

Thank you so much

Amendment signed.  I will email you shortly.

Congrats and great job.  You were such a pleasure to work with and without a doubt one of the most professional Realtors I have ever dealt with.

On behalf of our family, I would like to sincerely thank you for your assistance and guidance in helping us with the sale of our mother’s house.  Your level of professionalism and knowledge about the housing market exemplifies what every home owner should look for when selecting a Real Estate Agent.  We truly believe that these traits, coupled with your honest and friendly disposition, are why we were able to sell the house in 24 hours. 

Lou, you are truly amazing at what you do and we certainly would not have any reservations in recommending you to anyone who is looking to buy/sell their home.

Lou – Thank you, Thank you and Thank you for all your support in buying a home, selling our home and your incredible patience through the whole process.

For years you’ve been helping us and indulging our curiosities about buying a new home even though we weren’t really sure we were ready to take the leap.  And when we did stumble upon the house that was right for us, we were incredibly grateful that you were able to help us prepare and complete an offer in just 2 days.  You allowed us to be excited about our new purchase but quickly whipped us into shape and told us what we needed to do to get our place ready for the market and checked on us regularly to make sure we were ready.  It was an exhausting process but when the For Sale sign went up and then a SOLD sign one week later (for over asking!) we knew it was all worth it.  With the best reputation in our neighbourhood, we knew you were the right person to work with and our experience with you confirmed this.  We’ve never bought re-sale before and working with someone so personable but also knowledgeable and reliable definitely helped minimize the stress.  We knew you had our best interest in mind and would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. 

Thanks again,

Hi Lou,
  I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!
As you know, the decision to list and sell our late Mother's house, our family home for over 50 years, was not an easy decision for myself and my siblings.  This was a very emotional time for all of us.
  We were extremely fortunate to have you as our agent!  Your personal and professional manner helped to make this a very smooth transition for our family.
  You were always accessible, answered all our questions and provided us with valuable information and guidance every step of the way.
  As a result of all your efforts, the house sold quickly and for top dollars! 
  Again, thank-you for your outstanding care, support and professional manner.
With gratitude,

Hi Lou,

Happy Thursday!

We just wanted to send a note to say thank you so very much for everything…. You really did an amazing job for us with such great advice, superb photos/video, awesome communication and professional insight - all with such class 😊 We were well informed of what was happening in the market - you provided additional updates each time we met - Your communication was second to none.  Just sayn’

We always knew what was happening and how things were progressing with the sale of our home.   Selling a home can be a very stressful time but you made this experience a great one while keeping us calm throughout the entire process.

We really appreciate all your hard work and going the extra mile on more than one occasion.  

A record sale for Peelar Mews!
Lou,
Wow, wow, wow! 
Sign up... Open House... Offers... SOLD!
What was that – 5 days?
Congratulations!
 

Dear Lou,
 We cannot thank-you enough for helping us buy our new condo and sell our townhouse. We bought well under asking and sold over asking (in less than a week!) - what more could anyone want?
Your knowledge, patience and negotiating skills throughout the whole process were very much appreciated. All your advice was spot-on, contributing to the highest yet sale price for a townhouse in our complex!
We would be pleased to recommend your services to others, for your professional skills and for your integrity.
 

~~We highly recommend Lou Rubino Real Estate Sales Rep for Royal LePage West.  He walked us through the process of both buying and selling property, listened to both our needs and concerns.  He gave us great advice on how to market our house which resulted in us selling our home quickly.  Lou also took the time to research the property we were looking to purchase which gave us peace of mind that we were making the right decision.  He never pressured us into making any decisions that we weren't 100% sure of.  We can both say we absolutely love our new home and thank Lou for all his help in getting us there.

~~“I have known Lou Rubino for a long time. I worked for him through university as a sales representative at a large Canadian retailer. After university when I heard that Lou became a real estate agent I thought it was a great fit for him. As my wife and I started looking around for a real estate agent to sell our first house we were VERY disappointed with the agents that we interviewed. At the end of the day, they just did not seem to bring much value to the table for us. Then I remembered Lou – my wife and I sat down with him and talked about the process and we both became instantly comfortable. Outside of just knowing him 20 years prior; Lou made a lot of sense to us and brought the value we expecting from an agent. As we dug into the process of selling and buying; Lou did not disappoint. His dedication to getting us into the right house in a tough market was amazing.  Both my wife and I were very happy with support we received and would highly recommend Lou to anyone looking for a down to earth real estate agent that can get the job done of selling the house you have; and getting you in the house you and your family wants. Thanks Lou.”

Dear Lou:
 
Tony & I would like to thank-you for your guidance in helping us put our mothers home up for sale. With your knowledge of the market and your honesty our mothers home was sold within two days of the listing, at above asking price, very impressive. You are
one of a kind, always with a friendly smile, respectful and very approachable you made us feel very comfortable.
We would recommend your services to friends and family without hesitation and tell them with Lou Rubino you only get the best & a long lasting friendship.

Good Morning Lou,

Yesterday afternoon I showed the above-referenced property. My clients liked the property very much. They have two dogs and the lack of ground garden space is a negative they can not overcome. They are downsizing from a large home in Mississauga and they have time to search for what for them would be a “perfect scenario”.

Thank you very much for facilitating the showing. The property was wonderfully presented and prepared for showing. It is always a pleasure to show a property where a listing agent instructs the seller how to prepare the property for showings and agents can show and sell the property rather than fudge in the dark to look for light switches.

If I have the opportunity I will certainly show the property again.

Good luck with the sale of this property.

Kind regards

George

Dear Lou,

How can we say thank you?  There we were,  in a nice townhouse on a not so perfect  street.  Not only did you manage to sell our house in 2 days for 99% of asking (despite the fact that the last two  homes in our area did not sell after months and months  on the market) - you WON us our new dream home,  at a great price with perfect dates and conditions. 

And throughout  you were so hard working,  friendly and respectful - to us and everyone you interacted with.  Always helpful - way beyond the call of duty. 

 But Lou, we discovered that you are more than a nice, hard-working guy!   You are a a very skilled negotiator and a master strategist too.     It was a bit crass, but we meant it when we said you had b*lls of steel  - sitting  in that driveway making and countering offers.  And later, after we'd won, realizing that if we hadn't played it exactly your way (exactly)  - we would have lost our fabulous new home.

Thank you.  We're not normally the testimonial type  -  but if you ever want one  - count us in!

In the past Lou has assisted me on the sale of one property and purchase of another.  Recently, Lou sold my townhouse in Etobicoke (September 2010).  His style, professionalism and service are second to none and we have become good friends after building a strong professional relationship.

You will find Lou to be quite trustworthy and will feel secure knowing you have an agent with your best interest at heart.  Within your first conversation with him, you will know what I mean, when I say it’s about establishing a relationship not just a sale or purchase for him.  Don’t get me wrong, Lou knows his business well and has the experience and knowledge to be the best in his field.

Patience, professionalism, enthusiasm, charming and knowledge in the area of real estate – all qualities that Lou possesses. Buying your first home is normally a very stressful and over-whelming procedure. With Lou by our side, this process was accomplished smoothly and efficiently. From day one, Lou explained to us all the steps involved in purchasing our first home, including anticipated expenses and listened attentively to all of our requirements. During our interactions, Lou demonstrated excellent organizational skills, exhibited a positive attitude and had a high level of commitment and dedication to helping us find the “right” home for us.

Without hesitation, we would recommend Lou to anyone buying or selling their house. He is a hard working, intelligent and dedicated individual who always puts forth the best interests of his clients first. We look forward to continuing our relationship with him in the future.

I have used Lou's services twice in the last year, once to buy the other to sell. On both occasions Lou was very professional and patient. As anyone can imagine who has been through it the process can be a very laborious and frustrating ordeal. Lou prepares in advance so that all details are spelled out in black and white, which makes it easier to decide what you are looking for when buying. When I was looking at condos, Lou gave me all the background information so I could decide what was right for me, price, size, upgrades, and future investment wise.
Lou does not pressure you into anything for a "quick" sale; he makes sure the client gets exactly what is wanted.
I was so happy with the condo I purchased, I asked Lou to sell my mothers house for me. Once again, no pressure from Lou, just sound advice on how to showcase the house for best results, i.e.  colour scheme, staging the rooms. He waited for the right time to put it on the market with fabulous results. I thank you very much Lou

This past winter my father decided it was time to move from his condo into a retirement residence.  He asked my sister and I if we knew a real estate agent in the Woodbridge area since he had only been living there for a short time.   The first person that came to mind was Lou.  My husband and I have known Lou socially for quite some time and I’ve always been impressed by his warmth and kindness to everyone.  I thought he would be a good choice and I wasn’t disappointed.  Lou made the selling of my father’s condo painless.  He took care of all the small and large details professionally.  He was very easy to reach if I had a question and responded promptly to any concerns.  He kept my father and I informed every step of the way by phone and email.  Lou’s ability to speak to my father in Italian made the whole experience so easy for him.  Lou you are the best.  Thank you for taking such good care of us during the selling of my father’s condo.  You are a true gentleman and we appreciate all your hard work and care.

Over the last 10 years my husband and I have moved several times. As a result, we’ve worked with a number of real estate agents (6 in total) both as vendors and purchasers. Although many agents can help in purchasing and selling a property, we finally found a real estate agent that truly exemplifies excellence! We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Lou Rubino as our agent for our most recent home purchase. Lou’s impeccable service and positive professionalism made purchasing our home virtually stress free. His expertise of the market enabled us to make rational decisions. Lou is an honest and sincere person, who pays meticulous attention to details. He went above and beyond the call of duty – Lou arranged contractors and lawyers, picked up
keys on closing, showed up with coffee each morning, and cracked open the champagne to help us celebrate. 

We had one weekend to look for a house in Toronto. We lived about 3 hours away from the city. Time was our major challenge. Lou had a full day planned out for us. He knew exactly what our needs were, and matched it to what was available. We spent a full day viewing 12 homes. Our daughters, aged 6 and 7 years old, accompanied us. It was a very long day for all of us… but Lou made the experience positive and enjoyable! Our daughters particularly enjoyed his humour and charisma!

We normally do not write testimonials, but we felt a strong urge to write this one. We now have a real estate agent that we will remain loyal to. Without a doubt, the next time we move, Lou Rubino will be the first person we will call to sell and
purchase our next home.

Thank you Lou for your tireless efforts and outstanding service. We not only found a fabulous agent, we also made a wonderful friend!!!

As first time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance. Lou’s patience was unwavering as our search took us from downtown Toronto to the suburbs of Ajax!  Lou helped us to find the other professionals we needed to make the transaction smooth and stress-free. Lou is a sincere, trustworthy and hard-working real estate agent.  He always went above and beyond the call of duty. Lou is certainly someone you want on your team!  Lou will now be the agent that we refer all of our friends and family to!

Thanks Lou for helping us! 

As first time home owners, we felt overwhelmed and out of our comfort zone.  Lou was amazing and walked with us through the entire process.  He is honest, knows value, and believes in no secrets and no surprises.  He also has keen insights into what people are really looking for in their home.  He will candidly tell you when a house is overvalued and when it’s a good value.  He is very knowledgeable about neighbourhoods and resale value.  Lou never let us feel we were undertaking this mammoth decision by ourselves.  He was always there with us every step of the way— taking us to countless properties, writing up an offer at 11pm, figuring out our counter offer, winning out over other bids, having home visits, getting the keys, and dealing with the lawyers. Lou was a true professional.  He will be our realtor for life. 

Lou Rubino is by far the best real estate broker we have ever worked with.  As first time home buyers, it was extremely important to us that we knew what was going on at all times.  He put in the time and effort to not just buy our house, but truly make sure it was the right home for us.  Most importantly, Lou is somebody that you can trust and will want to share this wonderful experience. 

Thanks!

For a first time home buyer, you made this process less stressful. We were always greeted with the most amazing smile. You were always punctual and  willing to take us over the city to view new listings. Your knowledge and expertise in the Real Estate Market is beyond comparison. Lou, you went beyond just selling us a home…you have kept in touch over the years and we greatly appreciate this!

 Lou, you are the best

It was a refreshing change dealing with a real estate agent who was not only ethical and professional, but easy going, friendly and truly looked out for our best interest.   When we sold our home, Lou's perseverance was a catalyst in getting the deal closed.  The purchasing agent was difficult to deal with and Lou's calm, yet persistent demeanor eventually paid off for us with the best possible outcome.  We sold our home at an agreeable price and with agreeable terms.   

The end result is that with Lou's help, honesty and integrity, my husband and I were able to find our dream home.   He is truly an asset to the real estate profession.  And the best part is that he continues to be our friend.

In this day and age of hard sellers and 'used-car-salesmen' tactics, it is refreshing to know there is an honest, hard-working professional out there like Mr. Rubino.  He is not only, in my estimation, the 'greatest real estate agent ever' but I am honored to also call him my friend.

 His knowledge of themaie industry is impressive and his constant hands-on approach is much appreciated. I have dealt with many agents over the years, but nobody, in my estimation, has the knowledge or the honesty that Lou has. Once again, I thank him for that.

 If you are serious about buying or selling your home and you want the most honest, ethical person out there, then you would seriously be making a big mistake if you didn't get Mr. Rubino to help. He is the absolute best.

Thanks Lou for everything,

It was my second year in Canada when I decided to buy my first house. I have very little idea on how to proceed with my plan until I first talk with Lou in the phone. 

Lou guided me very well throughout the process of buying my first home. It was a stress free journey, a condition that any client would love to be. His advices are factual and realistic in life. I followed most of it so I am happy but if I followed everything I am even happier.

Lou is a perfect choice in buying or selling your real estate property.

Thanks for all of the information.  And, I also want to thank you for your patience and professionalism.  I truly believe that your efforts throughout this whole process made things easier for my parents, sisters and me.

Thanks again!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, your personality, professionalism and manner in which you work were and are a great asset to me getting this home….

Honest, integrity, professionalism are just some of the qualities Lou posses. His unwavering focus and attention to detail ensuring your experience whether, "buying or selling" is a pleasurable one during a somewhat stressful time. Without a doubt we will refer Lou to family and friends as a genuine agent you can trust!  

…if there is anyone we know who has any interest in real estate, we will definitely refer them to you....its been a pleasure working with you Lou....thanks so much for everything....
