Client Reflections

Having spent a large portion of my career in B2B sales, I have very high standards when I am the client, and MaryAnn, Gianna and Lianne exceeded my expectations at every step of the process. The benefits of working with an intimate boutique for your real estate needs are extraordinary – fantastic communication, impeccable follow-up, flawless execution and exemplary standards for integrity and ethical conduct. However, perhaps the greatest benefit of working with the Schiralli team is peace of mind and I highly recommend them! 

Regina and I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Ann Schiralli and her Team. She is a consummate professional and is an expert at understanding her clients’ needs and expectations. Mary Ann takes a consulting approach and develops a highly effective and compelling marketing strategy, to meet those needs. In our case, we had a complex situation with our Oakville home and the incredibly beautiful property it sits on. Despite this, it took Mary Ann and her Team, just one week to sell our home. From the moment we met Mary Ann, we knew she had the experience and insight to get our house sold. We can now move forward with our plans. Thanks Mary Ann Schiralli and Team. You’re the best!!!

When I decided to sell my home‎ I was immediately referred to Mary Ann Schiralli by a close friend. Having a referral immediately denoted trust, confidence and a job so well done that recommending this person was a given. My initial meeting with Mary Ann and Gianna Schiralli solidified these assumptions and I was made to feel as though I was their only client. I told them I was disabled and could not accommodate a normal packing and moving time line and their response to this was that they would adjust to my needs and abilities. These ladies worked tirelessly to ensure every detail of my house sale was thought through and taken care of. I received emails and calls with reminders of every issue and event. From lock box installation to open house to offers of sale, the entire process was managed with a level of finesse and professionalism indicative of their long tenure in the real estate field. The personal touches added by these ladies made me feel special as a client. They operate with integrity and ethics in all they do while maintaining a warmth that makes one feel like family. Receiving top dollar for my home was obviously an important factor and this was at the forefront of every decision. But just as important was making sure I understood the process, documentation and my obligations as a seller. Gianna and Mary Ann led me through each step and made sure I was comfortable and informed with every decision. After selling my home well above asking price with The Schiralli Team it is self-evident why my friend referred them. I could not have hoped to find more competent, successful or empathetic real estate agents. I cannot wait to refer them myself so that I know my friends and family are getting the best real estate team available.

Gianna helped us secure a new home and sell our existing home and we were very happy with the outcome of both! She is very responsive, knows the market really well, and available at all times to answer any questions we had. She gave us great tips to make sure we were well prepared for both the offer and sale of our homes. She even went above and beyond and introduced us to recommended contractors in the area to help with our renovation. Thank you so much Gianna, we look forward to working with you again in the future!

When we were looking to purchase a condo in Toronto we were referred to Gianna from one of our friends who had worked with her. Gianna was able to recommend the best buildings in our area of interest and has a vast knowledge and experience with the Toronto Condo market. She is efficient, detail oriented, works outside of the box and is a master at negotiating. A successful conclusion resulted!

Gianna was exceptional. Selling our home amidst the global pandemic was stressful, to say the least. Despite this, Gianna ensured all health protocols were followed and moreover, successfully sold our house. She showed professionalism the entirety of our time working with her. Gianna made this major transaction easy as a result of her dedication and knowledge of the market. We cannot thank her and Mary Ann enough for their work. We will certainly trust them again, when the time comes, and have encouraged our family and friends to do the same. 

"We absolutely LOVE working with The Schiralli Team! If you want a team that is knowledgeable, prompt and most of all hardworking, then look no further! As first time homebuyers we needed a lot of guidance! We were all over the map. First we were looking at existing homes, and then we were looking at new builds, and then back to looking at existing homes again.
We ended up finding the perfect home on a Saturday morning. Gianna made herself available right away to have us see the home that day and then registered our offer later that same day. Before the weekend was over, all the negotiations were final and we had bought a house! Not only did we get the home, but we got it for under asking. We were most impressed with Gianna’s expertise and confidence in the negotiation process. She had a keen sense for how much negotiating we could do, which really paid off for us in the end!  

We always felt like we could approach Gianna with any questions leading up to, during and after the purchase of our home.

In all honesty, we could not have been in better hands. We loved working with The Schiralli Team so much that we have referred a co-worker, family member and friend who are all working with them in the buying and selling of their homes as well! We cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, diligence and warmth in this process!"

We used Gianna Schiralli of The Schiralli Team as our real estate agent for the sale of our Hamilton home. Gianna was highly knowledgeable and professional and provided invaluable advice for staging our house. Our home was only listed for a week and we had over 2 dozen viewings and an offer which Gianna negotiated for us for full price!! I had many questions along the way and Gianna always answered me quickly and promptly. If I need an agent again in the future I would not hesitate to use Gianna again. I highly recommend Gianna of The Schiralli Team.  We were exceptionally pleased.

 When I asked for a recommendation for an agent in Toronto to help me purchase my first home, my only specification was that I was looking to work with someone that I could ask my (countless!!) questions too without feeling inexperienced to the process - this was a new experience for me, and I wanted to learn from it and work mindfully as a team with my agent. Gianna came recommended and I cannot stress how much she made my home buying experience easy and fun. Because of the nature of the purchase - a very cool condo, with a fast turnaround - the process moved along very quickly, but Gianna was reassuring and made me feel confident in the decision, and I am SO happy with my place. I commented to her that I couldn’t believe how easy the whole process was, she and her team made it completely stress-free. 
 Gianna is responsive, thoughtful, and personable when it came to working together. She is tenacious and honest, so I felt lucky to have her on my team! Upon closing, we encountered some minor issues with a needed repair, and the seller’s unresponsive (awful) agent. Gianna and her team resolved the issue for me quickly - so that I could go back to enjoying my beautiful new home! I will always recommend the Schiralli team to anyone looking for an agent with sincere confidence as they’ve made a lifelong client out of me with the time and care they took with me to make my first time home purchase a success. Thank you endlessly!!! 

At the end of the summer of 2020, we made a substantial life decision to sell our home of 20 years. We loved this place and all the memories that we created there, and having a positive experience leaving our house was super important to us. Initially, we had the idea of selling our home with Purplebrick, however, after over two months of very little progress, we lost confidence in the company and its services. If felt as our house was invisible on the market, and there was hardly any traction. We decided that we needed a change and so we reached out to Gianna. From the moment, she stepped into our house, we knew that working with Gianna will be a great experience. She gave us accurate advice on what needed to be done, communication with her was smooth and prompt and our home got new owners within days! She cared about our needs and helped us start a new chapter in our lives. I would recommend Gianna to anybody looking to sell or buy a home. 

I could not have had a better agent or a better first experience with leading. Gianna was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, accommodating and worked quickly to make sure I secured my chosen property. She is extremely professional, personable and has helped me through the entire process, frequently going above and beyond during off hours to accommodate my needs. I would highly recommend Gianna Schiralli and her team for all real estate needs.

Gianna was fantastic from start to finish with the lease of my condo! With so many agents around town it can be overwhelming to find one that has your best interest at heart. I felt extremely comfortable through the process and we ultimately had the unit leased within days of it being posted online. Gianna was able to negotiate full market value, perfect tenants and an overall professional outcome. Thanks Gianna!

Dealing with The Schiralli Team was a great experience. The family has enlisted their services in both selling and buying and each time their knowledge and professionalism truly shines. The last transaction was buying; their recommendation was spot on and only after 3 house listings our search came to an end, we became proud owners of a beautiful home. A very successful partnership, I very much recommend The Schiralli Team!

I have so many good things to say about our experience with Mary Ann and team. We worked with them to buy our new house and sell our current house.

Buying the House
* Mary Ann was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods of interest. She knew who the builder of the house was, common problems that she has seen people face in similar houses, she knew what made one small street different than the other. All these small insights, helped me get a very informed view of the houses and make a decision accordingly. Her ads say "Invaluable Real Estate Intel" and thats exactly what you get.

*She is also a fierce negotiator. She helped us get an amazing price for our new house. We could not believe it when she came back to us with the final price.

Selling the House
* She is extremely thorough. She went through our house and put a post-it on every small thing that needed to be fixed. And when I say small, I mean very small things that people won't even notice. She had her handyman fix all these issues. When she was done with the fixing and the staging, the house looked amazing

* Once again, she advised us so well on the selling price and strategy, and there was a bidding war on our house, in today's market!

Another thing we really loved about her was that she was on our side even later. For instance, we were talking to a contractor to get some renovations done. He was quoting us a really high price for everything. Mary Ann instantly let us know that the price is too high and that we can get a lower price (and we did, a lot lower).

We cannot thank her enough for all her help. She has been wonderful and we highly recommend her.

Mary Ann and Gianna are an experienced, knowledge based team providing superior marketing and a high level of personal service. Despite being in the midst of the Corona Virus lockdown, Mary Ann was successful in selling my home at 98% of list price and in just 3 days of it going on the market. I attribute this success to her excellent marketing knowledge and contacts, as well as to her superior negotiating skills. I would highly recommend this team to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home. 

We were so impressed with Mary Ann and Gianna - in our opinion they are the absolute best mother/daughter team in the business hands down - actually the best agents - period.  When we listed our Oakville home with them we felt like we were their only customer - and we know they are busy!  Communication and feedback was on point at all times.  We interviewed four local agents, and there was no doubt in our minds that they had a special point of difference - we had two agents working on our behalf.   They both worked tirelessly around the clock. We obtained a top dollar sale on our home. We are missing you already!  

We recently listed our Clearivew home in Oakville with Mary Ann Schiralli. From the first visit, Mary Ann presented a comprehensive plan of what her team could offer us. Although we considered other agents, we felt most comfortable and confident with her approach. Over the next couple of weeks, she took the time to give easy and practical staging tips for each room to ensure our home looked its’ best. Her team of exceptional photographer/videographers and a professional writer led to a great presentation both on MLS and in the beautifully done feature magazine – no expense was spared. Our house listed on a Friday afternoon, we had over 50 viewings during the weekend and then 5 offers presented to us on Sunday. We sold for over asking price – the highest detached sale ever in our neighbourhood! Both Mary Ann and Gianna were exceptionally professional and acted with integrity during the negotiation phase of our ‘sell’. Two days later, we provided Mary Ann with a wish list and price point of what we were looking for in our next home. Later that same day, she found a listing that precisely matched our request. We were one of the first to view the house (first day on the market) and later that evening was successful in closing for less than the asking price. Mary Ann and Gianna were such a pleasure to work with – honest, hard-working and fun - we would highly recommend The Schiralli Team to all our friends and family!

It was a great pleasure working with Mary Ann and Gianna and their team to sell my home in the Kerr Village area of Oakville. Throughout the process, they exhibited thorough knowledge of the local real estate market conditions in a changing environment. With their professionalism, significant experience, terrific organizational skills and guidance, we were able to sell our home in a very timely manner and achieve our financial objective to our satisfaction. Thank you to The Schiralli Team!

Gianna helped us purchase our first home and we could not be happier with the result! We had previously been working with another realtor for 6 months without success. When we made the switch and started working with Gianna we found and purchased our dream home in just a couple days for a price that far exceeded our expectations. We could not believe how easy, efficient, and more enjoyable the home buying experience was. Gianna is proactive, hands on, easy to work with, attentive, strategic, and extremely knowledgeable about the market. We would absolutely recommend Gianna and The Schiralli team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Gianna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly proactive - every time we reached out to her to inquire about a property we were interested in, Gianna had already spoken to the listing agent and had tons of insightful, actionable information. Buying a house is always an adventure, but Gianna's expert guidance made the experience extremely seamless and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend!

With the current market it took almost a whole year to find our dream home. We had high expectations and it took multiple viewings and several offers on various homes before we were able to secure the deal. Mary Ann and her daughter Gianna were patient, knowledgeable and accommodating regarding our needs during the tenuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic. We never felt pressured, always felt safe and enjoyed the process despite the rollercoaster ride! We highly recommend this dynamic duo for your next home purchase or sale.

We were absolutely thrilled with the service and results that we received working with The Schiralli Team. We were able to buy a home in the area that we wanted and due to Mary Ann & Gianna’s awesome negotiations we got the home for a fantastic price. Well under market value. Mary Ann & Gianna are patient and guided us step by step – we knew they had our backs and our interests were protected. Mary Ann & Gianna are respected, highly professional agents that offer their customers a wealth of experience. We highly recommend the Schiralli Team to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home.

Gianna was such a pleasure to work with! She is highly professional and very knowledgeable in the area of Estate Sales. We are very grateful to her for all her help and guidance with the sale of my uncle's home. She was on target with pricing the house to get the most out of the market. Gianna responded right away to anything we needed. Thank you so much for everything Gianna! 

Mary Ann and Gianna were very professional, knowledgable, kind, helpful and a delight to work with. For a number of years before we sold our home, Mary Ann was always available to recommend upgrades to our home, tell us the current value of our home and the market conditions. When it came time to sell our home, despite being in the middle of COVID-19, the entire process was professional and executed flawlessly. Mary Ann and Gianna are a class act, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

After my being in business and sales leadership for over 25 years I strongly believe that the ultimate customer satisfaction measurement is a RETURNING CUSTOMER. So this is our story: 6 transactions over 12 years…. Theses numbers speak for themselves! Should you be looking for “second to none” service, this dynamic professional duo is the ONE you need! Thank you to Mary Ann and Gianna!

The Schiralli Team were amazing in everything they did to sell my house. Mary Ann's tenacity and incomprehensible work ethic were always there to reply, explain, negotiate and ultimately complete a very quick, successful sales transaction. I am so relieved at how fast she made things happen and so pleased with the results. There is no other agency I would work with because Mary Ann's experience and ability are simply unparalleled!

Gianna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was knowledgeable, trustworthy and incredibly accommodating with my particular situation. Gianna was kind and incredibly professional. She was helpful in explaining the sale process and made sure that I was comfortable with every step along the way. She always made sure to answer any calls or questions I had. I am so grateful to have had Gianna aid in the sale of my home, and know that she will remain my first choice and recommendation in any real estate sale or purchase moving forward.

I have known Mary Ann for nearly 10 years and it has been truly a pleasure knowing her and working with her through two home sales and two purchases in Oakville over the last decade. We sold our South East Oakville home a couple of months ago and bought another one in Old Oakville. Our recent sale resulted in it being sold with multiple offers, and above asking price. I have great trust in Mary Ann to provide honest advice and input. I have also greatly appreciated her experience, knowledge of Oakville, professionalism, energy and passion. Mary Ann is respectful, warm, kind, and extremely service-oriented. Mary Ann's daughter Gianna has also been wonderful to work with. Gianna is friendly, diligent, responsive, and demonstrates incredible attention to detail. I would highly recommend Mary Ann and Gianna and already have to many friends! 
 

We cannot say enough great things about the Schiralli Team! We bought our first home with Gianna in 2017, and now just sold that home and bought a new home with her. She made the process easy with amazing communication, listening to what we wanted and finding us the perfect home! We were able to buy our new home and have our current place sold within a week, well above asking. We truly believe that this was only possible in the current crazy market because we worked with the Schiralli team! Thank you Gianna for all your hard work in making our home dreams possible!! We highly recommend working with them!

The Schiralli team delivers top notch service and expertise from start to finish. This is the second home I have purchased with Gianna as my agent. She helped us target and identify properties that met our criteria, and she was very knowledgeable with comparable homes in the area. She was very punctual and well organized for each visit to a new listing. We would highly recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a professional buying experience.

Gianna is an absolute gem! We were fortunate to have been referred to her from a colleague of mine. She is hard working – really rolls up her sleeves to make things happen. She found us the perfect home in one week, where as another agent we were working with could not secure us one in almost a year. She was amazing right to finish. 10/10 in our books. Gianna is the best!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gianna Schiralli from The Schiralli Team on a purchase. With having been a first-time home buyer I thought this would be kind of a scary process but thanks to Gianna, it was fun and easy - overall amazing experience. She is professional, honest down to earth and is always looking out for your best interests. Thanks again Gianna!

I tried contacting several of the listing agents while looking for a lease, but was unsuccessful as they would not reply back to me! I then contacted The Schiralli Team on their contact page and explained my predicament. Gianna Schiralli contacted me immediately and we began the process of looking for a rental property together.

She really knew what I had in mind and was pointing out concerns to me that were important to her - Gianna is beyond friendly, extremely knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Gianna and The Schiralli Team - based on my experience, they focus on the client's needs no matter what.

Buying a condo in such a hot market is very difficult. Working with The Schiralli Team was ideal. From finding the right place and helping with negotiation they were patient and caring. When it was time to act quickly they worked into the evening to ensure we were successful in securing exactly what we were looking for. This is a process that you want to experience working on your behalf. Our highest recommendation to anyone looking for an agent. - Joe O

My experience with Mary Ann and Gianna was in both buying and selling. When we finally found a property that checked virtually every box on my want list, Mary Ann went into super agent mode. She outlined all the what's, why's and when's and hours later I had successfully purchased a gorgeous new home. Next step, put my house on the market. Mary Ann and Gianna came to my home with a list of suggestions of what needed to be done to get it market ready. Staging advice and calendar dates and times of when the team behind the scenes would be here to measure, take photos, schedule of "Open Houses", feature books were delivered and now we're ready to go. Four days on the market - SOLD, no conditions and agreement on my closing requested closing date. Done! If I had any questions or concerns throughout buying or selling, they were quickly answered. These ladies are professionals and know their stuff. Voice mail, texts, did not sit unanswered. Certainly a comforting team to work with. I felt like I was their #1 client.
