Testimonials

Hollistic buying approach

Buying a house through Janette and Chris was like buying from old trusted friends, never pressuring, always patient and available. They went above and beyond in ensuring we found not just a house, but a home. By the time we were ready to buy, we were more educated home buyers in all aspects, thanks to their expertise. We'd have to search long and hard to find better agents and will definitely contact them again for any of our future real estate needs."

First-Time Buyers

We used Chris and Janette and it was a great experience for us. They were very friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and professional. We worked mainly with Chris and he would go above and beyond. As first-time homebuyers, we had lots of questions and Chris would be able to answer just about every question and if not, he would have someone in his professional network that could. One Sunday afternoon we wanted to make a last minute offer and needed a lawyer to review the condo’s financial status. In a panic, we called our lawyer and asked if he could do it. He told us lawyers don’t work on Sundays. Within an hour Chris had his lawyer review the financials and we offered on the place. (Still didn’t get it!) One story that shows their professional knowledge is we went to an open house just as it was winding down. The selling agent said that it was busy the entire time. As we went through the basement we looked at the water tank and furnace. Chris noticed that the plumbing was kitec plumbing, which is VERY BAD!! (Google it!) He told the selling agent and she had no idea and none of the other 20+ agents that went through the place had noticed it either. We enjoyed our experience and would recommend them to anyone.

First-time Buyers

As first time home buyers with a history of being prone to panic, my family knew this was going to be a challenge. But with Janette and Christo guiding us, one of the biggest transactions in my life ended up relatively low stress. They helped with not only ensuring a smooth process on the transactional side, but their provision of both objective relevant information and humanizing context for the transaction based on their own experiences helped with our decision making greatly along the way. My family rarely agrees on anything, but we agree that Janette and Christo are an excellent team to have on your side.

A Quick Sale

A process that was well considered and executed, quickly getting us the results we wanted. Highly recommended.

Smart, Professional and Trustworthy

Three words that go together perfectly with them: smart, professional, trustworthy.

Buyers

My wife and I can't say enough about the amazing service provided by Christo and Janette. They were professional, diligent, and available at all hours of the day to help with anything we needed. We never felt pressured to go outside of our budget or put an offer on anything that we wouldn't be completely satisfied with. The entire process went as smoothly as it possibly could have. We could not happier with our new home and we have Christo and Janette to thank for it. We would recommend them to anyone searching for a new home. Thank you!!!

Buyers Who Offered On Over 6 Homes!

As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were clueless about the realities of finding a home the volatile and cutthroat Toronto housing market. If not for Chris and Janette (our real estate dream-team), we’d still be looking today! Chris and Janette worked tirelessly for us; guiding us through every viewing, answering every silly question we had and educating us about the market and how to make our budget work for us. Always organized, professional and super-friendly, Chris and Janette kept our spirits raised (even when it seemed impossible that we would ever own a home in Toronto) until we found our dream house—no seriously, our DREAM HOUSE. If we ever decide to move, we will 100% be retaining the services of Team Lourantos again!

Mother Son Duo Of The Millennium!

I've been using Janette and Christo for over 15 years, and 4 houses. Prior to meeting with the them, I've had disappointing realtors. Both Janette and Christo has set a VERY HIGH standard for any realtor. I've recommended them to at least 5 family and friends, and they've all thanked me for even the introduction. One of the best qualities of them is that they're not afraid to tell you as it is. I remember a few times we would look at houses, and we would be like "THIS IS THE ONE!" but Janette would use her British charm and tell me to sleep on it because she saw a few red flags about the house that didn't meet our initial criteria to purchase. We trust them so much that now our whole family uses their services, and we've grown close to them over the past few years. I will never use any realtor ever again, thank you Janette and Christo for ruining it for every other realtor out there. Mother Son duo of the millennium!

First-Time Home Buyers

We hired Chris over a year ago to help us find our perfect first home. We were in no rush to purchase and Chris never made us feel pressured to buy. In fact, he was always very open and honest with us when he could tell we weren't over the moon with a particular home. It was never about the sale - it was about us, and what we wanted. We could not recommend him enough - we hopefully won't need him for sometime now, but will be recommending him to our friends and family!

Epitome Of Patience

Chris and Janette are the epitome of “patience”, and when you’re buying and selling homes, it’s one of the most important character trait you need in your real estate agents. Not once did Chris and Janette pressure us into making decisions, and instead, they rationally explained the pros and cons of every listing we saw. They were the exact kind of calmness I personally needed as it perfectly balances out my impulsiveness. They truly went above and beyond in every detail throughout the process, and this was truly evident during the staging of our home for sale. We honestly believe the staging efforts they put in directly impacted how fast our home was sold. On top of it all, both of them are simply a pleasure to be around! We loved working with Chris and Janette and would recommend this dream team to everyone. Thank you guys!

VIP Preconstruction Sales

Christo and Janette are amazing! They helped us purchase our first pre-construction home. Not only did they help us get into the VIP event they arrived early to make sure we got in. They stayed with us for over five hours to make sure the process went smoothly. They went above and beyond and we could not be more thrilled. Christo and Janette, thank you so much for your knowledge, your patience and most importantly your time.
