Client Reflections

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.

 The Schiralli Team are truly unmatched in giving their clients a professional, personal and truly exceptional experience. We were lucky enough to have Gianna assist us in both selling our current house and buying our new home, and we would be quick to recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch agent. She was always there to promptly respond to our calls and emails, and made us feel so at ease during the entire process. We were so lucky to have her in our corner, and with her unrivalled negotiating skills we were able to secure our dream home. Her supreme knowledge of the market combined with her unparalleled level of customer service make her a dream agent! Gianna and Mary Ann, we cannot thank you enough! 

I am so relieved that my south east Oakville  home of over 35 years has been sold in only 2 weeks.  As a senior, I was nervous about the process.  I met with several agents, but decided to list my home with Mary Ann Schiralli for many reasons that were important to me.  Firstly she was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, kind  but most importantly I felt that she was trustworthy and would look after me. She arranged everything so perfectly so that not to compromise my comfort or convenience.  I got a terrific price for my bungalow and am happy to know a family with young children will be moving in.  Mary Ann and Gianna, thank you for your expertise, compassion and professionalism.  You both worked 24/7 to obtain the right buyer for my home.

 Mary Ann and Gianna are just awesome! Mary Ann has a great depth of experience and knowledge in the Oakville market, which has proven very useful in both the purchase of our home 8 years ago and the sale of it just this year. Mary Ann and her daughter Gianna work very well together, with a polished professional approach to all aspects of their business. With a tangible market analysis presented, an in-depth discussion of our objectives and her advice, and a plan put in place, Mary Ann was able to activate an approach to marketing and selling our home that presented it extremely well and resulted in a successful sale, from all perspectives. Their personal, hands-on involvement in all facets of the sale is very much appreciated. We'll definitely call on Mary Ann and Gianna again in the future when needed, and highly recommend you meet with them should you be thinking of selling or buying. They helped us buy a new home after our sale as well! Thank you very much, both of you!

We are so thrilled with the quality of support we received from Mary Ann and her daughter Gianna. Our home in the Kerr Village SOLD FIRM! Mary Ann is the epitome of professionalism and while it would be easy to say that in this market our house sold itself that would be disingenuous and disrespectful. The quality of the photos, ad, brochure and video is second to known. Sort of weird to see your home look better in Mary Ann's brochure than it does in real life. Crazy. The stress associated with selling was all self-induced - Mary Ann is a pro and true to her prediction - we sold at asking within 4 days of listing. Her calm confidence and guidance made this deal effortless for us and our lovely buyer. I'd be happy to recommend Mary Ann and Gianna to anyone interested in selling or buying. 

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!

Mary Ann and her staff have been fabulous and have gone over and above for me. Because I had to sell the house via long distance on behalf of an elderly relative there were a few challenges. Mary Ann and her team helped out with everyone of them! Their professionalism, suggestions and support were outstanding. It was obvious she was working for both my relative and I. I would not hesitate to recommend the Schiralli team!

I have absolutely no reservation in recommending Mary Ann Schiralli to anyone who is looking to sell (or buy) their home - you could not be in more capable hands. Mary Ann has just successfully sold my condominium (at The Shores) in Bronte, Oakville achieving the highest value per square foot in the building to date! Mary Ann is professional, very knowledgeable about the market and she prices properties correctly. Her team is helpful and follow through on every detail and Mary Ann provides exemplary service with considerable personal charm. This is the 2nd property that Mary Ann has successfully sold for me and she has not only met my expectations on both occasions but exceeded them. I have no hesitation in suggesting that you engage with Mary Ann on any real estate transaction. You will be delighted with the successful outcome! 

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! 
 

Working with Gianna was rewarding and I would highly recommend the Schiralli Team. Gianna was very knowledgeable, professional and efficient. She helped ensure we had the strongest offer possible and went above and beyond to help us get the condo we really wanted! Working with Gianna made the whole process less stressful, even in the fast-moving & competitive Toronto market.

"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 recently appointed Mary Ann Schiralli and Gianna Schiralli to sell our home.   We could not be more happier with the result.  From the moment we met with them we knew that they were the right fit.  We did interview 3 other agents, but felt that we had an immediate connection with Mary Ann and Gianna – they were extremely professional and personable and presented a far more comprehensive package for the custom marketing of our home than anyone else.  Their social media platform was super strong and quite impressive. We could tell that they think outside the box to obtain results. Their knowledge was fortified and Mary Ann’s negotiations amazing. She obtained us the highest sale in our area in under 30 days. Without their expertise and this could not have been achieved. Marketing and advertising materials were top notch!  They really rolled up their sleeves and got the job done.  Both Mary Ann and Gianna were easily accessible and we were kept fully informed along the way. True professionals.   If you are looking to sell your home I recommend you call Mary Ann at the Schiralli Team.  They are #1 in our books. 

We can’t thank Gianna Schiralli enough for all of her hard work and dedication in selling our very first home in St. Catharines! Originally from Oakville, we knew of the Schiralli Team’s impressive reputation for their extensive knowledge of the market and unparalleled drive to meet their clients’ needs. After working with Gianna, she absolutely blew away our already high expectations! She helped us through every step of the process and was available around the clock to answer all our questions. We really appreciated Gianna’s honest and straight shooter attitude and we knew she had our best interests in mind. Thanks to Gianna’s keen eye for staging and superior negotiating skills, she managed to sell our house for over asking in less than a week! Without question, we highly recommend the Schiralli Team. Thank you again Gianna! We can’t wait to celebrate with you in our beautiful new forever home. Please give our regards to Mary Ann!

Mary Ann Schiralli did an incredible job assisting us purchase our first home! As first time buyers, the prospect of buying in this market can be overwhelming and scary. You hear about young couples spending months looking for a home, having to increase their budget, put in multiple rejected offers or get in bidding wars. Thanks to Mary Ann and Gianna our experience was nothing like this in fact it was very enjoyable and stress-free! They were always available to take us to see listings and had extensive knowledge on what to look for in purchasing a home. They made us aware of different features of a home that we wouldn’t have considered without them. We were able to purchase the perfect house in the perfect neighbourhood with their guidance. Mary Ann did an amazing job negotiating our offer, walking us through the process step by step and getting us our home for considerably below list! She was available to attend our home inspection on our behalf so we didn’t have to miss work and was available anytime to answer our questions or give us advice. During the home inspection it was identified that the roof needed to be replaced and she was able to get the sale price dropped to cover the cost of the roof! I would highly recommend the Schiralli Team to anyone! Thank you so much Mary Ann and Gianna!!!!!

Gianna recently helped us purchase a home in Burlington and we could not be happier with the result! We had previously been working with another realtor to purchase a home in the area for 6 months without success. When we made the switch and started working with Gianna we found experience amazing and purchased our dream home in just a couple days for a price that far exceeded our expectations.  We could not believe how much easier, more organized, 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. 

Mary Ann was recommended to us by two of her past clients who were aquaintances of ours. We invited Mary Ann and another agent to give us an evaluation on our Oakville home and present their marketing plans. Mary Ann came fully prepared to our meeting and gave us a true range value with extensive back-up data of the previous selling of homes in our area, while the other agent was $50,000 lower in recommended list price without any data to present us and zero preparation. Mary Ann knows the market and this was important to us as we could make an offer to buy with more confidence. She took the time to go through our home and told us what we could do to make our home more sellable. We got rid of 38 years of accumulations and stuff we did not need. She was readily available and promptly replied to our phone messages, texts and e-mails. She recommended seeing a home which was listed $34,000.00 above our maximum purchase price. She encouraged us to proceed with our low offer, and she was able to get it accepted with her awesome negotiation skills!  Between buying the new home and selling present home, the time was just fourteen days. Mary Ann arranged her crew to stage the home, take photos, a creative writer was summoned and the result were gorgeous feature magazines. Our home was on the market only two days, we had 15 viewings and received 4 offers and accepted a FIRM offerf or well over listing price.  We sold at a great price, but just as important we bought at a lower price. We highly recommend Mary Ann as a professional real-estate agent who works hard for you. She sure made us happy. 

When the decision was made to sell our south east Oakville home - We were extremely picky about who would represent us as our listing agent.  We interviewed a few but as soon as we met Mary Ann and her daughter Gianna, we felt at ease that felt immediately we were in capable hands. We loved the mother/daughter team approach. It proved invaluable. We had two strong, professional women working on our behalf! What more could we want!!! Mary Ann was always there for us, answering our calls and texts and always arriving so promptly for our meetings. As we spent a lot of time at our cottage, she and Gianna took care of our home, getting it ready for showings and securing it after. Their level of professionalism and attentiveness is unmatched. We felt like we were her only clients! That being said we developed a friendship with Mary Ann and Gianna and feel they are truly genuine people and have your best interests at heart. We came on the market when things had slowed down but Mary Ann never wavered and had confidence in our home. She never gave up even when we wanted to! When we did receive an offer we could work with we were adamant on our price and Mary Ann proved to be a strong, sharp negotiator. Mary Ann is someone you definitely want in your corner! We just purchased a home and again Mary Ann was right there for us and we couldn't be happier! Words cannot express how much we appreciate Mary Ann and Gianna and how tirelessly they worked for us. We will always look to them for any future real estate transactions and can't recommend them highly enough!

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

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!  

Our Oakville home was on the market for well over six months with another agent – after it expired and realizing that a change was required immediately, we contacted The Schiralli Team.  Mary Ann Schiralli & Gianna Schiralli arrived that same day and we instantly felt we were in capable hands.  They were very authentic, highly professional, down to earth and most of all extremely knowledgeable with regards to the immediate neighborhood.  We were impressed at the level of service they provided.  We collaborated as a team when it came to pricing based on statistics and compelling statistics of recent comparable sales. I have to say that there was no comparison of the other agent versus The Schiralli Team.  It was like night and day. After pricing it correctly, superior staging that was provided, great showcasing on social media and strong negotiating skills – we sold our house in one week!  Mary Ann and Gianna are an honest hard working team.  Reliable and responsive. I have already recommended them to a colleague who is listing their home with them. 

An estate sale is a very emotional undertaking - even for the adult children left behind.  We grew up in our parents Old Oakville home as children and have so many fond memories.  It was important that we found an agent to represent us who was knowledgable regarding estate sales and probate, but more importantly someone who was genuinely caring, compassionate, trustworthy and had our backs.  After interviewing three agents, we knew immediately that Mary Ann was the right fit. She was able to sell the home within a week for above list price and secured us the right closing date which was important to us. She is an exceptional professional in our opinion.  We loved the fact that she was always accessible. We know that she is a top agent with Remax but we always felt like we were her only customers.  We have already referred her to a friend.  Thanks again Mary Ann.

Submitting this testimonial is important to us after I listened to stories of significant risk and stress of others in a similar house-selling market. The knowledgeable and confident advice was the center-point of our experience with the Schiralli Team. MaryAnn was always there - the person you want on your team who worked hard on our sale, keeping our interests strong then passionately competed for our successful purchase. Text, phone or email, her steadfastness was unparalleled which proved to be such good advice, saving us from risk and reassuring us of the plan at every point. I would highly recommend MaryAnn and Gianna and invite anyone to contact us directly about our experience when deciding to buy and sell a home.  

It is our immense pleasure to recommend The Schiralli Team (Gianna and Maryann Schiralli) as real estate agents to assist with the search of a buying a property or for that matter, selling your home! We were buyers relocating from Toronto looking to purchase a home nearer to our daughter who lives in Oakville. In our initial conversation Mary Ann and Gianna were thorough and they  inquired about the area that we were looking for, the type of home as well as our price range. Gianna also made insightful recommendations. She quickly set a portal for us and modified the criteria whenever we requested a modification at a moment’s notice. We would get emails pertaining to new listings based on the criteria we discussed in order to assist us in selecting potential homes to view. This process was extremely helpful because we would get all the MLS details pertaining to the homes that met our criteria as well as photos. Once we collaborated with The Schiralli Team and decided which homes we wanted to view, they responded quickly in setting up visits. They were respectful of our opinion of the property and never tried to push us towards any particular house if we expressed any reservation. We spoke several times a day over the course of our search! Whenever we sent an inquiry, they responded in a timely manner and were always extremely friendly. If we asked questions that needed follow up with the seller, they always came through. With their assistance we did find the house we were looking for and they were extremely professional throughout the entire process. Our offer was accepted and we found the perfect home! We thank them for all their patience, their vast knowledge and the assistance they provided. We are very happy clients!
 

As a first time home buyer, we highly recommend Mary Ann and Gianna Schiralli to any prospective home buyers. They helped us buy our first home in Oakville and we couldn't be more satisfied with their services and assistance. Both Mary Ann and Gianna are highly knowledgeable about the area, specific neighborhoods as well as the amenities offered by the local area. They also pointed out the pros and cons of different houses we visited - this was very important to us as first time home buyers and helped us make the right decision. Additionally, they were incredibly helpful during the offer negotiation and buying process. We got the house we wanted and more within our budget!  I highly recommend any buyer to consider the Schiralli team in their house search!

We are very impressed with the level of quality and service provided by the Schiralli team! The sale of our Oakville home was hugely successful and we found our dream home for a great price. In particular, Mary Ann provided a positive environment while helping us understand the current market. She is also brilliant at pricing with many years of experience in the business. Working with Mary Ann, Gianna provided excellent response and feedback to our needs and helped us buy our new home.  Both ladies are very professional and at the same time very helpful and reassuring. We are grateful for all their help and the great results. We highly recommend The Schiralli Team to anyone interested in selling their home in the nicest possible way and for the best price! On a scale of 1 - 10 they are a 20 - outstanding!
 

We used Gianna Schiralli of The Schiralli Team as our real estate agent for the sale of our Hamilton home. Gianna was highly knowledgable 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 where exceptionally pleased.

I was referred to Mary Ann and Gianna of the Schiralli Team by my daughter who just bought a house with Gianna's assistance. My daughter really enjoyed working with Gianna and obtained super results and therefore I was grateful for the referral.  Selling my parent’s Mississauga home was a challenging one emotionally for me since it was my childhood home that I grew up in. Gianna and Mary Ann were very understanding and warm throughout the whole process. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the industry and felt like my parent’s home was in the best hands. The Schiralli team took a look through the home and informed us of some inexpensive things we could do to make the house more sellable. I was very impressed with how quickly the pictures were taken, the listing went up, and the “for sale” sign went on the lawn. With 83 showings and 10 offers, the house sold within 48 hours! I was surprised that the process was so quick and easy, and we were very pleased with the Schiralli team! They always looked out for our best interest.  Thank you to the Schiralli Team for your professionalism, timeliness and responsiveness. 10 out of 10 in our books. We highly recommend Gianna and Mary Ann Schiralli!  
 

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!!!

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.

Mary Ann Schiralli is a highly skilled agent who understands and knows how to successfully negotiate for the best interests of her clients. This is the second time I have relied on the Schiralli team. Both deals were difficult to naviagate through. But Mary Ann was superb in bringing all parties together. I actually think Mary Ann is one of the very finest agents in Oakville. She has unquestionable integrity, and when you are trusting someone with what is likely the largest life changing and the largest financial transaction of your life, you want someone you can unconditionally trust. And, having seen Mary Ann work so hard and so smart, I can say without reservation, this is the person you want to put your trust in. Thank you Mary Ann and team. Because of your experience and real estate savvy, the deal got done! 

I had to search for a new rental property in Oakville. I tried contacting the leasing agents, but was unsuccessful as they would not reply back to me!!! I then contacted the Schiralli team and explained my predicament. Gianna contacted me immediately and began the process of looking for a rental property with me. She is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.  Once I found a property I liked, she ensured she understood my criteria (ie. move-in date, max. rent, etc.), and worked with the leasing agent to get the best deal for me. I would highly recommend Gianna and the Schiralli team for any type or size of real estate transaction. Based on my exerience, they focus on the client's needs no matter how large or small the property is. 

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 were 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!

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.


 

Mary Ann and Gianna’s guidance led to an extremely positive buying and separate selling experience. Their marketing showed our home in its best light. We were most blown away during the purchase offer process (in both selling our home and buying the new one) where it was clear their negotiation skills saved us tens of thousands in both transactions. We are so grateful to the Schiralli Team for making our home sale and purchase such a smashing success!
