The Tanya Crepulja Team Experience

As first time buyers in Canada neither Nadine or myself had any real knowledge of how to buy a house here, what to look for, how much it would cost, the taxes involved, the benefits we were entitled to etc. Our experiences of realtors in the UK conjured up the stereotypical images of fake smiles, commission driven discussions and a genuine lack of trust.With this in mind we began our search not really knowing what to expect. We went from open house to open house, collecting business card after business card without really achieving much. Then we visited a condo in Mississauga by chance, and although we hated the property we really liked the agents. From the outset Tanya and Steve were professional, friendly and attentive but not too pushy. They let us walk around at our own leisure and when we were ready to ask questions they were happy to give us the answers. They were like us on many levels, Tanya was expecting their first child as was Nadine, Steve was happy to humour Rob about how to create the perfect man cave, they were like us but realtors….we came away not being any closer to finding a house but knowing we had found an agent on our level, who we could work with.

Over the next couple of months our search became more serious and we decided to appoint Tanya and Steve as our sole agent. Every day we would receive a list of properties. These were always within our budget, and were specific to our requests. We wanted our first home to be perfect for us, so the list of our demands was fairly extensive. Steve and Tanya worked tirelessly to provide us with the types of home we were looking for. We saw many properties and due to the nature of the market we often had to act fast, Tanya and Steve never missed an appointment and were always happy to fit us in. They listened to us, understood our needs, they knew that if one of us had our reservations on a house they wouldn’t play the pushy agent and try to convince us, instead they just smiled and offered us alternatives.

The first house we fell in love with went to offers and as it turned out we were one of seven. Our bid was unsuccessful but Tanya and Steve worked with us to ensure our bid was strong even though eventually the house went for way over the asking price. They reassured us that our bid was strong and they reiterated that they would find us something just as perfect if not better.

After looking at a number of other properties we finally found our house. When we walked through the door, we both knew it was the one, Steve was with us on the viewing and he also knew….the rest of that weekend was phone call after phone call, agents talking to agents/sellers etc. Again Tanya and Steve worked tirelessly that weekend to ensure that the deal was done and we believe that they got us the best deal possible. What surprised me was that once the contracts were signed that wasn’t the end of our relationship, Steve joined us for the inspection, Tanya took Nadine back to the house a few times to bounce ideas around, talk color schemes etc. This is a team that will really go the extra mile for you, get the job done and make it a really pain free process. Their industry knowledge is superb and they go out of their way to ensure that the client is satisfied.

As a business relationship you will not find a more professional, thorough and caring agent, as a result of this on a personal level we now also consider them good friends and they are always welcome at our home. We would thoroughly recommend Tanya and Steve and look forward to doing business with them in the future. Thanks so much.

My husband and I met Tanya over 4 years ago when we were first looking to rent an apartment. After such a wonderful experience with Tanya finding a rental, we knew that if and when we were planning to buy a house, we would be going to her. When we decided that we would begin the process of house hunting in September 2013, we called Tanya right away. She immediately understood the type of house we were looking for and we set out on our search right away. Although prospects seemed bleak at times, Tanya never gave up hope and continued to keep her eye out for places she thought we would like. Tanya was knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in and had lots of advice to give us during the whole process. With Tanya with us every step of the way (even when she was 8 months pregnant!) we found our townhome and couldn’t be happier. Tanya was a wonderful realtor! She was always available to answer our questions, day and night, and always had our best interests in mind when talking with external parties. Thank you, Tanya!!

When I first started thinking about purchasing a house, I started looking online at hundreds of places to get an idea of what I wanted. I posted on Facebook that I was looking for a real estate agent and was given about 10 recommendations from friends. I contacted them all. The first thing that Tanya did was send me an email with more info about being a first time home buyer as well as more info about the process of buying a home. She was the only real estate agent to do so. That’s what made me go with her as my agent.

I ended up buying a place very quickly and I couldn’t have done so without Tanya’s help. She was always available by phone, text or email regardless of date or time. Often, she was the only person on my team (Real Estate Agent, Lawyer, Mortgage Broker) that I could get a hold of. To be honest, she basically answered most of my questions that should have been answered by the other members of my team.

With her knowledge and expertise, at no point did I feel overwhelmed by the process despite quickly buying a house alone in my 20’s. I’ve now been living at the new place for 2 weeks and it’s perfect. I couldn’t be happier about the house itself, the location and the price.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

PS…did I mention she was incredibly pregnant while doing all this?

I expected that purchasing my vacation home in Square One was going to be challenging and stressful. However Tanya made my purchase an easy and surprisingly pleasant experience. Tanya was the second real estate agent that I contacted during my web search but the first to respond. With me living overseas, Tanya was efficient with sending me property listings and always answered my queries in a timely manner. She was professional, friendly, helpful and always offered informed advice. Despite my doubts, Tanya was always confident that she would find me my dream home. And she did! Within 2 weeks, I was able to close on a property. Tanya was key in negotiating an excellent purchase price and also arranged attorney services and an interior designer.

Tanya truly lives up her motto: I love what I do and you will love the results. I highly recommend her services and I am certain that you will not be disappointed.

When we first met Tanya and hadn’t yet decided which real estate agent we were going with, she made it quite easy to make up our minds! She presented us with her excellent track record and explained how she could help us. She certainly didn’t let us down. She was thorough from start to finish: from having professional photos taken of our condo to exhaustively finding/showing us properties that fit our criteria…..all with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. My condo was sold in roughly 24 hours and within a week she had already helped us find our next property. We would work with Tanya again in a heartbeat!

We know how you feel right now trying to find an agent. Amidst all of the flashy websites, bus billboards and mail flyers filled with promises and taglines, you just simply want to find the best real estate agent who will represent your best interests at heart when selling or buying your home. You want to find an agent who will be transparent and honest throughout the whole process; someone who will treat your home as if it’s their home; someone who is meticulous to detail and knowledgeable of current market events and trends; someone who will never miss your call or shirk a question; and of course, someone who will actually deliver on all of their promises. We are very pleased to say that after our phenomenal experience with Tanya Crepulja, we believe that this is exactly the kind of real estate agent that she is.

Entrusting the sale of our home, as well as purchasing a new home with Tanya as our agent was the best thing we ever did. After working with several different agents with little selling success and poor customer relations, it was apparent from the start that Tanya was miles ahead of her competition in terms of service, knowledge and overall professionalism. After being on the market for over a year with no success, Tanya sold our place within a week and helped us to buy our dream home. From the onset, we greatly appreciated her candidness about our situation while still maintaining sensitivity to our emotional investments in our home. She always took the time explain each step along the way, answered questions we didn’t even know to ask, always came prepared with piles of research in hand to explain what we were up against, cautioned and protected our best interests during negotiations, always contacted us with updates and the latest developments, and diligently kept a shrewd eye on every little detail that ended up making all the difference in the world.

It is rare to meet a person who works as hard as Tanya and it shows in her success rate and the many testimonials of clients, like us, who are wowed by her service. And the best part? She loves what she does which always shines through in everything she does. There is a reason why Tanya stands out amongst the rest of the agents out there, and it’s because simply put, she is the best.
