I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their house.

My wife and I have dealt with a number of agents over the past few years - and Sabrina definately topped them all.

When we started, we told Sabrina that we were going to move slowly. We wanted to educate ourselves about neighbourhoods, schools and the market - to make sure that this would be the last house we'd have to buy for a while. Sabrina understood completely - and was patient as we started the process. And once we were ready to search in earnest she gave us undivided attention.

In the end, she helped us find our dream house - and we're thrilled. And what's more, she helped us sell our place for more than we (and even Sabrina) expected. A perfect result.

Besides being a pleasure to deal with, Sabrina is a first rate agent. She never sugar coated, she offered her opinions, she was always available, she's extremely organized, she communicated very clearly and she displayed a very stong understanding of the Toronto real estate market.

Above all, Sabrina is honest, professional and sincere. She truly seems to enjoy her work - and her enthusiasm made the experience far less painful than we were expecting.

We are grateful that Sabrina was recommended to us - and it only seems right to pay it forward. She will not disappoint.

We were referred to Sabrina by friends of ours who were very pleased and impressed with the hard work Sabrina put into finding their home.

Armed with a ringing endorsement from people we trusted, we met with Sabrina to lay out what we were looking for in a house. From our first meeting, she immediately impressed us with her work ethic and overall knowledge, as well her strategies on how to navigate the competitive nature of the Toronto real estate market.

It didn't take Sabrina long to be able to zero in and pinpoint exactly what we really liked and were looking for in a home - perhaps even before we fully realized what we really wanted ourselves!

In the end, Sabrina found us a fantastic house in a great neighbourhood that not only met all of our criteria, but also had the precise 'look and feel' of what we wanted.

Throughout the entire process, Sabrina did a tremendous job in providing us with detailed sales comparables, neighbourhood/school information and even went the extra mile to find us "off-market" properties that she thought might be of interest to us. More importantly, she was extremely adept at breaking down the "pros and cons" of a prospective property and always made sure we kept the big picture and the proper perspective in place when looking at a particular house. Her ability to look at a house and instantly know whether or not it really met our needs was tremendous. As busy professionals, we were also extremely appreciative of how responsive Sabrina was in answering our questions quickly and how flexible she was in arranging meetings and showings.

We can, without hesitation or reservation, highly recommend Sabrina to anyone that is looking for a hard working and knowledgeable real estate agent that will go beyond simply sending you MLS listings.

Sabrina came highly recommended from a friend and we found her to be every bit as smart, honest and hard working as we'd been promised. After meeting her only once we felt like she understood what we wanted and that we were in good hands.

Sabrina was patient, encouraging, organized and extremely knowledgeable about the market and the home buying process. She looked out for our interets and was honest at all times. Most important, she was extremely available, taking time to chat or answer our questions at all hours of the day and night. She always followed up and made sure we felt positive and in control.

Sabrina found us a great house and we can't recommend her enough-- she's a fantastic agent.

Sabrina came highly recommended from a friend who'd recently bought a house, and we were not disappointed. From the first time we met her, we could tell she was very smart and really understood what we were looking for. She was able to answer all of our questions, and even answered many that we would not have known to ask. She encouraged us not to settle for "only ok", but she was also honest about what to expect in today's market.

As first-time buyers, we went through hourly ups and down - one moment giddy with excitement, the next tearing our hair out about the sheer magnitude of buying a house. Sabrina was there every step of the way. She talked us through our "freak outs" and we came out of each session better educated and more sure of our decisions.

Fast forward only 9(!) days and we got a great home. We know that if we hadn't been working with Sabrina, we would have missed out on a great opportunity to get our home. If you're looking for an sharp, reliable agent with the utmost integrity, we definitely recommend Sabrina Kaufman.

Sabrina is smart, has great work ethic, always on top of things, accessible, and is enjoyable to work with.

In the market conditions we experienced when buying, working with Sabrina made all the difference. We bought into a very fast-paced and competitive market.

Sabrina understood exactly what we were looking for. She spotted the house as soon as it was listed and recognizing the potential for a bidding war, got us in first. We were first to see the house, and after that she worked very hard to get our offer in before any others, within hours. Sabrina used speed, strategy, and some great negotiation skills to narrowly avoid a bidding war. Our offer was accepted.

The others who were planning to make offers that day could not understand what happened. But it was very simple: we got our house not by having the best offer, but by having the best agent. We're fairly sure Sabrina saved us tens of thousands of dollars that day. Following the home inspection, Sabrina successfully re-negotiated the price to reflect some of the findings, adding to our savings.

We definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone buying or selling.

With so many agents to choose from as a real estate owner/buyer you want someone that is extremely smart, knowledgeable about the market, enthusiastic, always available to you, and driven to get the best deal possible for you the client.

Sabrina is a highly intelligent individual that was always working for us 24/7. Sabrina will put in significantly more effort to make sure you are happy through the process. Sabrina will not push you in a direction for her own benefit and will always make necessary time for you.

When it comes to deal time, Sabrina understands the art of negotiation and provides you with valuable input as you make/accept your offers. You will be well represented. Very few agents can provide you with this strength

Without question we would recommend Sabrina to anyone buying or selling. We have already recommended Sabrina to friends and colleagues and we will continue to recommend her.

You will not be disappointed by consulting with Sabrina before you make any decisions.

I worked with Sabrina in purchasing a house this summer. She was a consummate professional who made herself available 24/7. She listened to what I was looking for in a house and ensured that the key features were present in the homes we visited. I found her to be easily accessible and flexible. She was always punctual and respected our time constraints. We trusted her in the final negotiations as we felt Sabrina understood our goals and wishes. I have no reservations in recommending her as an efficient, motivated and dedicated professional.

Sabrina made a really stressful process manageable, by walking us through each step and keeping us organized. She helped us both sell our current property and buy a wonderful new house. We would have never found the new house if Sabrina didn’t encourage us to go see it. As it turned out, we fell in love with the place. She helped us get a great price for it as well. We are very grateful for her professionalism and her honest, straightforward manner. I would give her a high recommendation for anyone buying or selling a property.

Sabrina is the most qualified real estate agent that I've ever worked with. She is incredibly diligent, very hard working and efficient. My move to Toronto from NYC would have been a lot harder without her. If you need a dependable, smart agent to execute for you under time pressure, choose Sabrina.

We were fortunate enough to have had Sabrina referred to us as an agent when we were searching for a condo in Toronto for our daughter.

At all times, we found Sabrina to be professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Her BlackBerry seemed to be on 24/7 and she responded to all our questions and comments in a very prompt and efficient manner.

Sabrina, understanding the severe time limitations we were operating under, rose to the occasion and worked with us from Toronto, even though my daughter was in New York and we were in Montreal. Explanations were well made, documents were submitted on time and the whole process, which we had initially dreaded, turned out to be as smooth as silk.

I am pleased to offer this recommendation for Sabrina and I do not think that a finer or more dedicated agent could be found in Toronto.

Sincerely,

Allen & Sarah Rubin

Within hours of listing my home through Sabrina Kaufman, I received, and ultimately accepted, an amazing offer. Yes, in today’s market. Hence, my delight in writing a reference letter on Sabrina’s behalf.

In truth, I chose to have Sabrina represent both my buying and selling interests solely based on her refreshing earnestness and blatant enthusiasm.

However, I quickly discovered that she also possesses a strong business sense, superior advocacy skills and a wealth of knowledge which included a thorough understanding of my own neighbourhood’s uniqueness, and how that would likely play out in the market.

Her skill set is further enhanced by an in depth knowledge of related resources in my community. She has been able to recommend, often first hand, services ranging from contractors, interior designers, landscapers, to locksmiths. All of whom, thus far, have proved exceptional.

Upon solicitation, and after careful consideration, Sabrina will offer a well informed opinion. She advises based on her own comprehensive analysis, and when appropriate, in consultation with her associates on the Slavens team.

Both properties have now closed, but thankfully, Sabrina has continued, to provide on going follow up and support, and remains a tremendous advocate throughout the issues that inevitably arise throughout these processes.

Perhaps the ultimate compliment I could give to the quality of service Sabrina provides, is the fact that I have already recommended her to four of my friends.

Sabrina's diligence and positive attitude got me the home I wanted for less money and in less time than I had thought possible. As a first-time home buyer, I also really appreciated Sabrina being there for me throughout the buying process - she took the time to explain things to me and ensured I understood what needed to be done at every stage of my purchase. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking to purchase a home - her energy and integrity really set her apart

I've lived in five cities in the past few years, so I know a little something about working with agents. I can honestly say that Sabrina Kaufman completely eliminates the stress of looking for a new place: Her wonderful character, efficient work ethic and patient demeanor are major assets. She never once rushed me or brought me somewhere I would never consider living, but found me the perfect place. She followed up with me consistently, and the whole move went off without so much as a glitch. I know that she's always there for me if I need her, which personalizes a usually unpleasant situation. I would seriously recommend Sabrina in a heartbeat.

Sabrina found me my dream place. She asked me all the right questions in order to fully understand what my needs were and then quickly sprang into action to find several listings to take me to see. Sabrina is extremely detailed and organized and an absolutely lovely person. She also followed up with me after I moved in to make sure I was enjoying my new home. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
