What do Clients Say?
We were so lucky to have Claudia as our Realtor in our search for our home. She was so patient, knowledgable and fun throughout the whole search! Finding the right home for us in Toronto felt like a discouraging process until we met Claudia. She reassured us that we would be able to find the perfect house for us and our giant dog, Jim. Claudia made sure to find and show us listings that met our needs, and explained to us how we could remodel almost perfect homes to be perfect for us. Throughout the search, offer date, and closing processes, Claudia was immensely helpful and knowledgeable. She answered every question we had, and went above and beyond to equip us with the information we need as first-time homebuyers. We will recommend Claudia to everyone looking to purchase a house in Toronto!

Claudia is an incredible professional and as much as buying a house can be stressful, she made it a pleasant experience for us! We were introduced to her when I was in transition from New York City to Toronto and before I was even eligible to buy a house in Canada. Despite that, Claudia took the time to zero in on the exact house we wanted and insisted that we visit enough houses before we made any decision, to make sure we understand what our money can buy in Toronto. Throughout the search, Claudia was very creative, suggested multiple options within our price range and was brutally honest about properties she wouldn't recommend buying. Another quality that proved valuable in today's market is speed; Claudia was always available and very quick to respond to any and all questions we had. Being proactive house hunters, we also sent her listings that we found, which always prompted a swift response including a detailed report and market analysis for literally any property we laid eyes on in the GTA, followed by an almost immediate showing. We ended up buying a house much faster than we thought we would and Claudia is still walking us through the process of first time homeownership and is doing above and beyond to make sure we are getting all the right professionals on board, while her office handles the correspondence with all the relevant city officials. If you are looking for smart, reliable and personable real-estate brokers in the GTA, Claudia and Jose are your dream team.

My wife and I recently worked with Claudia on the purchase and sale of our new/existing home. We decided to use Claudia as our Real Estate agent once again after enjoying such a smooth process in purchasing our first home. The task this time around was much more difficult as home ownership over the past two years allowed us to understand exactly what we were looking for. A lot of Agents will tell you that they are available 24/7 but seeing this done in practice is a totally different proposition. There were many times that I would get home at 7 PM and message them seeing if we could go see a property by 8 PM. This happened over 10 times and not once did we face any resistance. Accommodating is a word that does not do any justice to how generous Claudia and her husband, Jose are with their time. What makes this even more humbling is that these the parents of two young children who are able to manage a very successful real estate career and raise two smart, beautiful young children. It showed us the type of people we were interacting with on a daily basis. Claudia’s true strength is her ability to emotionally connect with a sellers Agent. It’s true that the best price usually wins a home but we saw time and time again where Claudia was able to establish a strong relationship with an Agent that she had never worked with and allow us as buyers to feel that the package we were presenting was strong and would be taken seriously. She was able to sell our story which while not a requirement in the job and not something that guarantees you a win, it allows you as the client feel that she is just as much invested into the process as you are. She will not allow you to take one wrong step if it made her life easier. Once the dust settles, you no longer look at her as you Agent, rather a friend for life and a person that you can’t recommend enough to anyone looking to purchase, sell or invest in a property in and outside of Toronto. It should also be noted that our house was sold over-asking and we bought our house under-asking! Truly a phenomenal outcome.

Claudia is one of the most professional people I have ever met. She thinks everything rationally, but also understands how emotional buying or selling a property can be. She walks you through every single step, making something that seems so overwhelming become manageable. I highly recommend her.

When it came time for my wife and I to sell our condo, there was no hesitation in signing with Claudia and Jose. I was lucky enough to meet them several years ago when they helped my sister find a place to rent, since then they helped my family with the purchase and sale of a few properties both in and outside of Toronto. When we went to sell our condo we already had high expectations of the level of service we could expect from the duo, in typical Castillo + Pardo fashion they blew those expectations out of the water. They were able to sell our Condo at a price that far exceeded our optimistic projections, and made the experience as easy as possible for my wife and I. They laid out timelines and explained every step of they way so that we had peace of mind through the whole process. Their staging was so good it almost made us regret wanting to leave and were able to get us a painter for the condo at a rate way below market average. Selling a home can be the largest decision one can make in their life, Claudia and Jose made it so easy and achieved amazing results. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know.
