Julie Branco is a very professional and kind real estate agent. She tells you what you need to know, and not what you want to hear, in other words, she is not phony. I would recommend Julie Branco to anyone looking to buy a house. My wife and I had a very pleasant experience in working with Julie.

We had a great experience working with Julie as our real estate agent. Julie was always available over phone or email and was quick to respond to all our inquiries. My husband and I are both working professionals and she was able to accommodate all viewings on evenings or weekends to meet our schedule. At the same time she was able to book viewings for us at short notice and on the same day of the listing in many cases - which was key given how quickly good properties tend to get sold in this market.
Julie was also extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and the home buying process. She always had comparable properties and other important details ready for us when viewing properties. At times when we had queries she called the selling agent or another party right away to get the answer for us. When we finally found a home that we ended up purchasing Julie prepared the offer documents and handled all communications even though she happened to be away on a work trip on that day - which is a testament to Julie's commitment towards her clients.
We would highly recommend Julie and the Chan Real Estate Group to anyone looking for a home in the GTA.
The first time we worked with Chan Group was back in 2017. We were first time homebuyers looking to find a place to call home during a very challenging housing market. Julie was very professional. She listened to what we were looking for and answered any questions that we had. Over time, our relationship with Julie became more personal, and Julie made sure to take care of us during the buying process. When we decided to sell that same home (during Covid19) that we found with Julie, we didn t hesitate to contact her to learn more about the selling process. Our home sold within a week, thanks to her knowledge and the fast and reliable service that the team at Chan Group provides. If you re looking for a team that listens to your needs, responds to your questions/concerns, makes themselves available, are professional and takes care of you so you don t have to stress about anything at all....then Chan Group is THAT team!
Derrick went out his way to make sure we got the home we wanted. Definitely helped us to buy our new home at an inconvenient time for him, but helped us seal the deal at a price we never dreamed we would get it for. He is friendly and accommodating - pleasure to work with. Would never choose anyone else.
My experience comes from a different perspective. I work with and for The Chan Group's clients. As a Home Inspector I see a lot of homes of course. I also meet and work with many, many Realtors. Derrick is one of my faves...why? He cares about his clients as much as I do. You'll be hard pressed to find a nicer guy too! Fact is everyone on his team is super nice!!!
Derrick Chan is a fabulous realtor! He gave us awesome advice and just really went above and beyond every single step of the way to ensure we got a house that we loved. We've already been recommending him to all of our friends!
As a first time buyer, my home buying experience could not have been any smoother, thanks to Chan Group!
My realtor David Lin was always on top of things and was not phased at all by the endless new-buyer questions I had. He was always happy to arrange the many viewings even though I was being very picky with that I wanted, and anytime I needed more info about a house, he managed to get that fast from the seller's side. Even after offer acceptance, he stayed in the loop with my lawyer to make sure everything was going as it should.
Nichole, the listing manager was also amazing -- setting me up with some perks and services that I was able to utilize during the closing period and the move as well, and doing a great job keeping track of dates especially close to the closing date.
Finally, shoutout to Derrick Chan for bringing this group of people together, what a great group!
Derrick and his team have sold a number of houses for our family and friends, but this is the first time we have experienced his services ourselves. The comments from our friends and family regarding his services were all very positive, and we were also extremely pleased with the service from Derrick and his team. We originally listed at a price higher than Derrick s recommendation, with lots of traffic but no offers. When we reduced the price to the amount Derrick had recommended, we immediately got a number of offers, one of which we accepted. Despite Derrick being in a wedding when the offers came in, he still took the time to work through the details and counter offers with us. We were very pleased with his services.
We were also very pleased with the staging service. Julie met with us early on and gave us detailed recommendations of what we should consider doing (all very reasonable), and then came and staged the house very nicely - it looked like a different house - much better than before.
All in all, very pleased with the Chan group, and we would have no hesitation recommending Derrick and his team! A pleasure to work with.
As a first time home buyer it was a daunting task to undertake, but Derrick and Julie were able to show us a number places and were able to find one that fit our needs perfectly well. Would recommend for all your realty needs.Thanks again for all the help guys!
Oftentimes word-of-mouth referrals work out for the best. When we mentioned to our friends that we were moving, they insisted that we go with Brigid Chan. Recently, Brigid had sold a property for someone whose house had been on the market for six months with no results. Brigid s team sold the property in one week! That referral convinced us that Brigid Chan would be the right choice.
Brigid arranged for outstanding staging of our home and helped us with our planned move to another city. Meanwhile, within a week of our home going on the market, we had a firm offer ---even before we held an open house! Brigid negotiated tirelessly until the deal was firmed up and she got us the best price given the current market. We couldn t have been more satisfied.
Thank you, Brigid Chan and your team for outstanding service and professionalism. We would recommend your services to anyone interested buying or selling property.
