What Clients Say About Working With Tej Thakor

Real experiences from buyers, sellers, and families who trusted us with their real estate journey.

★★★★★

“We connected with Tej Thakor through social media on Instagram and reached out to him for short-term accommodation as we were coming from Ahmedabad. We only needed a place for two weeks, and Tej went above and beyond to help us. He arranged a condo through his client for our short stay, and it was a really great experience. We truly appreciate his support and exceptional service. Thank you, Tej, for your help, and a big thanks to your client as well for allowing us to stay in the condo for two weeks. Highly recommended!”

“We found Tej Thakor through Social media. We followed his work closely for 6-8 months as we wanted to choose experienced realtor and were impressed by his strong track record and consistently high level of service, which gave us the confidence to reach out to him. Tej and his team sold our home in Ajax, and we were extremely happy with the entire process. His comprehensive marketing strategy stood out—professional staging, high-quality photography, online and social media marketing, engaging reels, open houses, and a well-planned offer presentation date and time. Tej’s negotiation and presentation skills truly helped maximize our home’s value and “SOLD” board in record 10 days time. On offer day, he personally sat with us and reviewed each offer in detail, clearly explaining the strengths of every option. He is transparent, honest, and professional, which gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Great work by Tej and his team. You won’t go wrong hiring him.”

“Buying our first home in Toronto felt overwhelming at the beginning, but meeting Tej Thakor and Usha Parmar completely changed our experience. From day one, they made the entire process smooth, transparent, and actually enjoyable. As first-time home buyers, we had so many questions and doubts, but Tej and Usha were always available—no matter the time—to guide us. Their showing system was incredibly well-organized, making it easy for us to explore multiple properties without feeling rushed or confused. They took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and never pushed us into making quick decisions. What really stood out was their deep knowledge of the market. They explained every detail—from pricing trends to neighborhood insights—in a way that was easy to understand. It gave us confidence that we were making the right decision. Thanks to their dedication, patience, and expertise, we were able to find and purchase our dream home in Toronto. This wasn’t just a transaction for them—they genuinely cared about helping us start a new chapter in our lives. If I could give more than 5 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend Tej Thakor and Usha Parmar to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are simply the best!”

“One of the best realtors I have ever met. He helped me purchase my first dream home, something I never thought would be this easy. A big thanks to Tej and his brilliant team for their outstanding support throughout the process.”

Hitesh Sharma Mississauga · Mar 2026
★★★★★

“We recently sold both our homes in Brampton and Barrie with the help of Usha Parmar and Tej Thakor, and honestly, it was a great experience from start to finish. From the very first meeting, they gave us a clear understanding of the market and realistic expectations. Their property evaluation was spot on, and they guided us through staging and marketing in a very professional way. The exposure they created brought serious buyers, even in a slow market. What really stood out was their negotiation skills. They handled everything with confidence and kept us updated at every step, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Selling two homes at the same time is never easy, but with Tej and Usha, it felt well managed. We are very happy with the results and truly appreciate their support. Highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling!”
