My wife and I have used Christine and her team to list and help us buy twice since 2013 (sold two properties, and bought two properties within that time), and she and her team are simply amazing. Not only are they absolute sharks in the market who will get you what you want for your […]

Akhil M. | More Love

I cannot recommend the Christine Cowern Team more highly! The people on this team work together to provide a holistic service which takes every step to do the best for their clients. I worked with Marian primarily with Catherine’s help, and I was impressed every step of the way. Throughout the process, Marian facilitated numerous […]

Eileen W. | More Love

We cannot thank Catherine Goguen enough for her assistance in finding an amazing apartment. Catherine made our whole experience very much stress free. She was knowledgeable and understanding to our requests. She really listened & helped us find a place that ticked all our boxes. We cannot recommend Catherine highly enough.

Karl O. | More Love

Christine Cowern And Tara Crooks, thank you, thank you, thank you for making the whole process of purchasing my dream apartment so easy. Tara Crooks was amazing throughout the entire process. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, I assure you I’m telling everyone of my positive experience with your team.

Adam H. | More Love

Being a young couple on a budget, my fiance and I were looking to move into a basement apartment together outside of the city. While searching through listings we happened upon the Christine Cowern Real Estate Team, who were responsible for some of the properties we were most interested in. After sending a cursory email […]

Jen V. | More Love

I have the utmost respect for Christine. She has extremely high integrity and puts client satisfaction above all else. Christine will make sure that your buying or selling process goes as planned and that you are completely satisfied at the end.

James B. | More Love

My work schedule involves traveling often so I needed someone to handle the sale of my rental condo smoothly. Christine was the perfect choice. Christine took care of all the details, including ongoing communication with the tenants to ensure showings went off without a hitch, and kept me informed the whole way. I am very pleased with the sale (we received multiple offers and sold the unit for over the asking price in less than a week) and will be recommending Christine to everyone! Thank You Christine!

Muraly S. | More Love

Could not be happier! We’ve been working with Christine’s team both on our last lease project and finally when we decided to buy a home in Toronto. Tough market, very competitive environment but working with Marian has made it all go smoothly as she is the calmest (and most calming) person you’ll get to work […]

Alexis B. | More Love

Christine and her team are AMAZING! This review comes after Christine, and this time around Ali, helped us multiple times. They are in a class of their own. In my experience, choosing the Christine Cowern Real Estate Team comes with an almost full-proof guarantee of professionalism and the ability to get things done in the […]

Denise M. | More Love

Working with Christine and her team was a 5 star, full-service experience. Christine brings passion and professionalism to the table and most importantly results. I would not hesitate to work with her and her team again.

Sonia C. | More Love

** A DREAM TEAM** I don’t think I will ever have enough words to describe the FANTASTIC personalized customer service and dedication this team of hard working ladies delivered. As first time buyers we were really nervous to find a realtor and not be rushed to just buy any house, as we walked into Catherine’s […]

Gissel B. | More Love

Ali was a consummate professional…Very knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with…she drove us around to every showing…she showed us different places in different lease brackets…therefore, knew what the market was offering.

Serge D. | More Love

I have been working with The Christine Cowern Real Estate Team for a few years now. I have enjoyed the personable interactions as they have gotten to know me and what my goals are. They are efficient, intuitive, friendly and knowledgeable. I will continue to keep in touch and use them for my future real […]

Moronike L. | More Love

We couldn’t be happier with the Christine Cowern team. We’ve been blown away not only by the professionalism and helpfulness of our agent Ali McDonald, but also by the support network provided by the entire team. They were proactive, always reachable through phone or email regardless of hours, and very keen in educating us on […]

Henry J. | More Love

When I set out to buy a new home there was no question in my mind who I would contact. Having used the services of Christine and her team for several transactions over the years, I had full trust and confidence that I would receive top notch, professional and personalized service – which of course […]

Sally Ann J. | More Love

The Christine Cowern Team is the best real estate team in the GTA! Catherine was exceptional from her response time, to experience in closing our deal. We would highly recommend this team to all our family and friends! Their network of resources and knowledge in the industry create a stress free experience.

Rowena D. | More Love

I’ve known Christine for years and have always been impressed with her professionalism and market knowledge so when it came time for me to purchase an investment property, working with her team was a natural choice. Tara was my sales specialist and was on the ball and very responsive and knowledgeable. She always had my […]

Rutul S. | More Love

Tara was one of the best agents I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She was informative, helpful and strategic. Not only did she help us sell our home, she provided great guidance on next steps and gave us amazing referrals to other services that we required. If you want a dependable and courteous […]

Fraser M. | More Love

We were beyond happy with our selling and buying experience with the Christine Cowern Team! Both Christine and Tanya are so knowledgeable, organized, and responsive to any questions or concerns you might have about the process. You really feel like you’re getting a team service when you list and buy with them. They will try […]

Stephanie Q. | More Love

Christine’s team is a solid 10/10. I had the pleasure of working with Ali McDonald and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very accommodating, very patient, making sure we found the perfect lease. We reached out months before we were moving to Toronto and she was in touch throughout and I can say […]

Shashank K. | More Love

Catherine Goguen is, truly, the most amiable, professional, energetic realtor I’ve ever worked with – a pleasure to do business with. I felt extremely confident that she was looking after my best interests at each and every step of the process proactively – beyond my own knowledge and my expectations, and without me asking. To […]

Tony H. | More Love

Great experience from start to finish with the Christine Cowern Team. I would highly recommend their services to anyone selling their home. The staging consultation and rearrangement of my home decor I believe was key in getting a higher return on my investment. I was concerned that being overseas during the listing of my condo […]

Chris G. | More Love

Great experience working with Tara and the entire team who made buying our house as easy and pleasant as possible. We’re taking full advantage of almost all the services they provide and it’s really refreshing to find a company that really gets what full service actually means!

Michael H. | More Love

Christine and her team were amazing. We worked with another agent before we found her, and sat biting our fingernails through four months of inaction. Then Christine came in, and within 8 days of listing, we signed back an offer that was eventually to sell our home by day 13. But beyond the great work […]

Tim Q. | More Love

My husband and I bought our first home with Christine’s team just over a year ago and could not be happier with everything. We continue to be supported and are extremely grateful that we can reach out to Christine and her team for any kind of information or support. With our most recent family addition, […]

Alex I. | More Love

We are very happy we chose to work with the Christine Cowern Team! We still can’t believe we were able to purchase our dream home in this crazy Toronto market. Although the process of purchasing a home in such a market can definitely be a daunting task, Christine and her team were there for us every step of the way and listened to our needs.

Michael R. | More Love

Staged the home so that the home is in the best possible light, leading to many viewings and a quick sale. The entire team was a delight to deal with.

Douglas M. | More Love

Ali was an amazing realtor to have. She was quick to respond and answered all our questions along the way. Thrilled with our new place, thank you!

Brandon R. | More Love

This is the second time that my wife and I have worked with Tara to buy/sell our home. The approach that she followed as part of the Christine Cowern team was ideal for my wife and I, professional. The first thing she did was listen to what we needed and what we wanted. Then she […]

Jordan B. | More Love

It was an absolute pleasure working with Catherine and the whole Christine Cowern team to lease our condo. Catherine was on the ball about organizing the listing as soon as we had it ready and she was meticulous about going over the records of potential tenants to ensure that there would be no surprises down […]

Dasha Y. | More Love

I happened on this real estate team by chance. How lucky my husband and I were! They were professional, timely, and worked hard to get us the perfect property. We love our new home – thanks Ali, you and your team did a fantastic job.

Bryanna G. | More Love

In a word, WOW! Christine and team definitely care and put the work and attention in to every single detail to deliver the sale (a rather complicated assignment sale at that)! I could not of been more impressed and it was a true pleasure to work with Christine – she had my back and made […]

Matt R. | More Love

I was introduced to Tara Crooks and the Cowern Team through another past happy client of theirs and choosing to work with this team was the best decision we made. We ended up buying in less than 3 months, but with zero pressure and the utmost support. The Cowern team is a full service shop, […]

Narges S. | More Love

Our agent, Ali, was very understanding of our crazy schedule. She was flexible and helped us sort out everything we needed beforehand which made the process easier once we found the right home. We trusted her in providing us listings that were in safe areas and stayed within our budget. We appreciate the work Ali […]

Maya E. | More Love

I enjoyed working with everyone on the Christine Cowern Team! Tara was wonderful – incredibly patient, always accommodating of my schedule and on top of the research on all the (many, many) condos we looked at. I’ve also had a chance to work with Julia and Catherine, both of whom were warm, supportive and friendly. […]

Claire W. | More Love

Chad was our wonderful agent. He knew the market well, was happy to answer our numerous silly questions at all sorts of hours (sometimes responding to us as early as sunrise to late into the evening), and he was always punctual despite Toronto traffic which really adds to his professionalism.

Audrey & Chris O. | More Love

I enjoyed working with Christine and highly recommend her and her professional team!

Alireza V. | More Love

Tara, with the entire Christine Cowern Team, made our long-distance purchase of our downtown condo as painless as possible. We ran into a number of bumps on the road but Tara and the team ensured that we made it all the way through viewing, offers and possession by, for example, finding us a new lawyer when […]

LaRhonda P. | More Love

Christine and her team of real estate professionals were instrumental in getting our Mothers home sold. Bottom line, Christine is a problem solver. Having said that, she is also compassionate, trustworthy and understanding. She always kept our families best interest at heart and acted with professional integrity and every stage of the sale.

Alwynn T. | More Love

I wish I could give this company and their team six stars! My best friend used this company to find her own place and recommended them to us. I was living in the US with our two toddlers and helping care for my godmom who is battling cancer when my husband accepted a job in […]

Megan M. | More Love

As we started the process of buying a second home, we did not hesitate in contacting Christine and her team again, as her team made our first purchase a seamless process. This time around, we were introduced to Amazing Andrea who made the home buying process as smooth as can be. From the initial showing, […]

Weston G. | More Love

Working with Christine and her team was a wonderful and stress-free experience. As we were very specific as to the type of property and neighbourhoods we were interested in, Christine always kept us at ease and assured us we’d find our home. In working closely with Marian, not only was she a true pro making […]

Terry T. | More Love

I was new to Canada, just 8 months when I planned to buy a home. I had no idea on what all needs to be done how to do it as it was my first time buying home. My mortgage broker suggested me for going through Christine Cowern Real Estate. And then it was like […]

Mandeep S. | More Love

I’ve met Christine several years ago as I rented her condo. I quickly realized then that she was very professional, organized and committed to making it right – It just made sense to work her when we decided to buy our own place. Since then we completed 7 real estate transactions with Christine and her Team – buying, selling and leasing and the process is always flawless. From prep to list to referrals and after deal services, we couldn’t ask for a better Team to work with. Thank you!!

Dan C. | More Love

My wife and I sold our townhouse and bought our first detached house with Christine. We could not be happier with the service, experience, insight and advice we got. Christine worked closely with us at every step and always made herself available to meet, talk, answer questions etc. It was a real pleasure working with […]

Adel M. | More Love

*Zero stress and Record Selling Price* Christine and her team (Tara) are the best in the business, in my opinion. From reviewing the market for a period of time before Listing my property, to the process of collaboration on how to best showcase my home and establishment of the right price when going to Market, […]

Robert S. | More Love

On the selling side, Christine helped us to market and sell our place on short notice and really pulled out all the stops. She worked hard and got us the best deal and met our quick closing date. Throughout it all, she was extremely professional and seemed to really care about us as clients. I highly recommend Christine and her team!

Sarah P. | More Love

The Christine Cowern Team sold my property within days of the listing going live and above asking price. The whole team was extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process and took care of everything every step of the way, which made selling my condo while moving to another continent astonishingly easy. The experience was […]

Mathieu C. | More Love

Tara has been so great to us over the past few years offering advice, hours of searching/showings and doing everything possible in the dreaded buyers bidding war! Looking forward to working with the whole team again!

Kayla M. | More Love

Brilliant. Honest. Efficient. It was like handing over the keys of our house, and then having Christine take over and run the show for us. Communicated late into the night (because we asked for it), through text, IMs, emails, phone…Follows the simple principle of over-communicating, so that over-zealous sellers like us are kept happy!! In […]

Sunny R. | More Love

We were fortunate to have Tara guide us through the buying and selling process in Toronto! It is obviously a very competitive market these days and we are very happy with how quickly our condo sold! Tara has been very helpful in helping us navigate through some unforeseen issues that came up with our purchased […]

Helen Y. | More Love

This was our first time selling a house and I feel very lucky that we happened upon Christine who was so kind and helpful. Christine put us in touch with Tara and Julia. Tara helped us sell our house. She was awesome, never pushy, always understanding, knowledgeable, accessible, and patient with us as we struggled […]

Alison S. | More Love

I was so happy with all the effort, I used Christine’s team for the purchase of my new home too, again they went above and beyond ensuring I make the right choice for my needs without any pressure from their side. And I have to say I’m was again so pleased to have them on my side.

Rejini J. | More Love

We recently purchased a condo and sold our house, both on very tight timelines, through the Christine Cowern team. We were involved with various members of the team at different points of both transactions but mainly worked with Christine as well as with Catherine and Julia. We were extremely satisfied with our experience with the […]

Mary Beth W. | More Love

I needed to find a place quickly, not only did the team get in touch with me right away but assigned me a wonderful agent, Ali, who helped me get exactly what I was looking for exactly when I needed it. She made the whole process painless and felt like a friend along the way. […]

Caroline T. | More Love

We had a fantastic experience working with Christine and her team. We ended up finding exactly what we were looking for, and it was their patience, persistence and professionalism that got us there. Highly recommend Christine!!!

Ashleigh D. | More Love

We’ve worked with Christine on three transactions in the last couple of years and found Christine to be responsive, personable and very proficient at getting the job done in our best interest. What really impresses us is that even after the transactions are over (couple of years later), she’s still very responsive to any questions […]

Laura W. | More Love

As graduate students at U of T looking to find a place to lease in Toronto, my housemate and I figured that we would have a rough time finding a 2-bedroom apartment given that there are so many tenants looking to rent in the city and the chances of a landlord accepting students with very […]

Steven M. | More Love

When it came time to look for a new home, we contacted Christine Cowern without thinking. Having worked with Christine and her team in the past, we knew we would be getting a full-service real estate team who were professional, transparent, knowledgeable, and on the ball with communication. This time, we were introduced to Andrea, […]

Kelli T. | More Love

It was such a fun, exciting and stress-free experience working with Christine and Chad! From beginning to end, they were so great as they took the time to understand our needs so they could make great recommendations since we were new to the city. We were also incredibly impressed with entire support team, including Lori […]

Daniel and Doreen | More Love

We originally decided to go with the Christine Cowern team because of all of the positive reviews and we are very happy we did! We really enjoyed working with Marian Stevens from the Christine Cowern team. She is a consummate professional and an empathetic, kind, thoughtful and most importantly skilled and experienced real estate agent. […]

Valerie F. | More Love

Catherine is the best person you could ever have when looking for a property. To date she has found me a place to live not once but twice. Both times I was completely happy with what she found for me. She worked tirelessly to find my perfect home & would always be honest when showing any property. She […]

Rebecca S. | More Love

I have had the pleasure of working with Christine Cowern twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with her and her team. Christine is amazing, and truly cares about her clients in a really genuine way. Her knowledge and professionalism is outstanding, and you feel immediately taken care of. Christine will go above and beyond […]

Kaja R. | More Love

My husband and I just purchased our first home with the help of Catherine and we are so excited! We met on Thursday and had our offer accepted for a home that ticks all our boxes on Tuesday. It moved so fast, but being first time home buyers, Catherine gave excellent advice and basically held […]
