“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!”

“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!”

“We recently secured our first home in Ajax with the help of Tej Thakor, and honestly, this journey would not have been possible without him.
We had no knowledge about the buying process at all. When I first called Tej, he didn’t just guide us over the phone — he actually came to our rental home and explained everything step by step. He spent hours with us, making sure we understood the process and, most importantly, building our confidence that we could actually buy a home.
In the middle of cold weather, he took us to multiple showings without any hesitation. Finally, we found a home we liked — the layout was perfect, but the condition was messy and not properly maintained.
Even on closing, the property was not cleaned, which became very stressful for us. But Tej stood strong throughout. He coordinated with lawyers and the seller’s agent, and ensured a holdback was placed. He didn’t let things go until everything was done properly. After 5 days, once the property was cleaned and we received written confirmation with photos, only then was the matter resolved.
This was not an easy transaction, but Tej handled everything with experience and confidence.
Buying a home is not just about liking a property — it’s about having the right agent who understands the process and protects your interest. Social media or random listings won’t help if you don’t have the right guidance.
We truly feel we worked with one of the most experienced realtors in the GTA.
Thank you Tej Thakor for standing with us throughout the entire journey. Highly recommended!”

“Buying our first home in Ajax was a big step for us, and honestly, we were very nervous in the beginning.
We didn’t know where to start or what to expect. Tej Thakor made everything simple. He came to our home, explained the full process patiently, and gave us the confidence that we could do it.
We visited many homes together, even in cold weather, and he never rushed us. When we finally selected a house, it wasn’t in the best condition — especially at closing, when the seller had not cleaned it properly.
That’s where Tej really stood out. He didn’t just complete the deal and walk away. He followed up strongly with the lawyers and seller’s side, made sure money was held back, and stayed involved until everything was properly cleaned and confirmed in writing with photos.
That gave us real peace of mind. This experience taught us that buying a home is not easy, but having the right and experienced realtor makes all the difference.
We are very thankful to Tej Thakor for his dedication, patience, and support throughout the journey. He truly made this process easier for us.
Highly recommend his services to anyone buying or selling in the GTA!”

“We met Tej Thakor and Usha Parmar in February 2026 when our family decided it was time to upgrade from our detached home in Vaughan to a bigger home with more space, 4 bedrooms, and a better layout for our growing family. We had very specific and unique requirements, and from day one, Tej and Usha listened carefully and understood exactly what we were looking for.
The buying and selling process at the same time felt stressful initially, but Tej and Usha created a complete strategy for us that made everything smooth and organized. They constantly sent us homes matching our exact requirements and guided us honestly through every step.
What impressed us the most was their negotiation skills. They successfully negotiated over $100,000 below the listing price on our new detached home, which was unbelievable in today’s market. At the same time, they sold our existing home in less than 2 weeks with strong marketing, professional staging advice, social media branding, online exposure, and showcasing our property on multiple platforms.
Their experience, confidence, and market knowledge truly stood out. They were always available, patient, and treated us like family throughout the process. We are extremely thankful to Tej Thakor and Usha Parmar for helping our family move into our dream home. Highly recommended to anyone buying and selling at the same time!”
