She was with us every step of the way, always listened to our concerns but wasn’t afraid to offer experienced advice - and all the neighborhood comps. She staged the house beautifully while allowing our input and she lined up painters and handyman to make it shine. Most importantly she was always there for us, unwavering in her support through what was a trying time. She was always available and o
n many occasions, she even babysat the cats when clients would come through the house and we were away. Graeme Lynch (South Riverdale)
Working with Bonnie was a breeze. Talk about someone interested in your home search! She was always energetic and on the ball and treated us like we were her long-term personal friends. In regards to buying a home, she was constantly checking our interest in houses on the market, presenting them to us, checking our temperature on the offerings and our needs and then readjusting to address those needs. Even though the whole experience took a few months for a very large investment for our family, it felt like a very short time. Bonnie kept us on track and if we needed a break, she would step back till we were ready. Yes this is a very stressful journey but Bonnie made it super easy and was there every step of the way. Selling our house was even more stressful and the team Bonnie brought to us were courteous, professional, quick and on time (very important when you have 3 kids). The end result helped make our house look AMAZING (like we were on one of those shows on TV) and got us the amount we wanted at a time when the market had a downturn. To put it into perspective, we had more foot traffic than other houses nearby due to Bonnie’s diligence and persistence with engaging with her and other real estate clients. I would not consider doing this journey again without Bonnie as our agent as the help and energy she brought to the table helped us navigate around the hurdles, and find our end goals well. Thanks Bonnie, we appreciate you and you are the best.

It has been a real pleasure working with Bonnie, we were happy and grateful that she was on our side and made this stressful process of buying and selling absolutely fun for us and we couldn’t have done it without Bonnie and all her hard work. We had met her at an open house and when we decided it was time to make the move, she was our immediate choice. She was very forthcoming and knowledgeable in the housing market. The way she handled everything quite efficiently was an indication of her experience on the market and her level of commitment. We will definitely be more than happy to recommend her to our friends and will be seeking her services when we make another purchase! We hope you know how amazing you are Bonnie! Thank you so much!
– Archana and Arunkumar
We are grateful for Bonnie’s genuine interest in helping our growing family to find the perfect home. We were unfamiliar with the neighbourhood, parks, and school zones. Bonnie prepared an in-depth comparative analysis, showed us our favourite properties on multiple dates within our desired timeline, and even arranged our home inspection. She’s professional, energetic, and knows how to gauge the fair market price.

My husband and I recently worked with Bonnie to purchase our forever home in Toronto. When we started the journey we were quite specific with our needs. Our desired neighborhood of Leslieville was at the top of that list. Bonnie would stop at nothing to find us the perfect home. She was relentless …in a great way! In the incredibly busy market place, Bonnie took it upon herself to have custom made flyers made, which she then hand-delivered to the streets in our desired neighbourhood. Her can’t stop, won’t stop attitude is the reason we ended up with the beautiful home we have today. Bonnie is not only extremely personable and genuine but her dedication to helping her clients find solutions to problems is unwavering. She’s available 24/7 to listen and offer her years of experienced insight… also, she’s an amazing listener. One of the many benefits of working with Bonnie is that she has a handyman on standby, who ensures the home you’re moving into is completely up to your standard. For us, he replaced a set of lights in our new home, filled a sinkhole that had formed in our front yard while we were out of town working, and made sure the bones of the house were the right fit for what we were looking for. To say that Bonnie is a great real estate agent is an understatement. She’s the best! Bonnie is creative, tireless, excited, open, honest, and above all she’s 100% dedicated to making sure that your needs are met. I would highly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking to purchase a house in Toronto.
– Claire & Michael (Lesieville)
Bonnie recently sold our family home in the South Kingsway. Without fanfare, she under-promised and over-delivered, and did it with all with levels of passion and professionalism. Communication was key: she set out clear options that were easy to understand. She asked us what level of input we wanted to have, then respectfully handled everything smoothly, competently and absolutely stress-free for us. Bonnie and her team went above and beyond typical staging – painting (in and out), cleaning, repairing, and replacing fixtures– then hosted a pre-list wine and cheese party to show off the house. Her marketing approach was unique and unique to us, as was everything else she did. And the results? Beyond expectation in practice and in sale price. Thank you, Bonnie. You were invested in the results and I was delighted, start to finish.
– Ainslie Harvey (South Kingsway)
We feel so lucky to have had Bonnie Visentin as our agent when selling our home. We had concerns selling in Toronto’s challenging real estate scene, however, Bonnie’s relaxed style and hands-on approach made it so much easier. Part of that was her respect for our needs. We wanted a high level of communication and insight, and Bonnie was always available, explained things thoroughly, and kept us in the loop without us asking. Bonnie also respected our home and our wishes. While she staged our home, she did so using our own pieces and our personal style. She didn’t insist on a cookie-cutter staging solution or unnecessary investments. Her top-notch team executed not only the small things but even rebuilt our deck stairs – all at no cost to us. She listened. She cared. She knew the area – not just what was there, but what development and community upgrades were upcoming and would help to attract buyers. She was completely focused on us, and our needs, all the way. We’d recommend Bonnie to anyone in a heartbeat!
– Cyndi & Evan (Cliffcrest)
Working with Bonnie was an amazing experience. It started with a friendly conversation where she really took the time to understand my situation, needs, and goals. Never putting any kinda pressure to see houses or make offers, but at the same time keeping the contact and providing the right information at the right time, about the options of the market. Then once “we” found the right property she and her team helped me throughout the purchase process, once again taking care of all my needs and specific situation. She was always full of energy and provided detail-oriented work that gave me all the confidence in this important move. Also, I am very happy with the fact that Bonnie cares for you even way after the move, asking and keeping in touch just to confirm everything is okay. Finally, I want to thank her, for being an incredible support in this important life decision.
– David Blanco (Birchcliffe-Cliffside)
After reaching out to more than 50 real estate agents, Bonnie was the only one who reached back and cared about my relocation from the east coast to Toronto. She took away all the stress and headache associated with finding the perfect apartment; not only did she efficiently schedule numerous showings that she thought I’d appreciate, but she made the experience so much fun! She genuinely cared about my story and what was involved with my move. By the time I found my perfect place, all thanks to her, I had made a great friend and someone I can always count on. There is no other agent to pick than Bonnie Visentin. I know I’ll be working with her for all my real estate transactions going forward!
– Patrick Ross (The Entertainment District)
I had the pleasure of working with Bonnie to sell my first property. It was an emotional and difficult time in my life and relationship, and Bonnie handled the situation like a pro. Bonnie was sensitive, empathetic, but remained committed and diligent about getting us the best deal possible for the property. She managed a challenging situation with grace and professionalism at every stage in the process. Simply put, we couldn’t have done it without her. Bonnie has mastered the rare balance of business and personal. She sincerely cares about her clients and is determined to close the best deal for them. I would work with Bonnie again in a second. Thanks, Bonnie.
– Claire Freeland (Moss Park)
Bonnie was recommended to me by a really good friend of mine. I was looking for a condo within my price range. She found me a wonderful place with a beautiful view; which I am very happy living in now. Throughout this process, she has been extremely helpful, patient, and has a very positive energy. Her ultimate goal is to make you happy and she strives to make that happen. I will highly recommend Bonnie to friends, family, and colleagues.

What a pleasure we had working with Bonnie! Several other neighbours spoke highly of her during the sale of their homes, so we didn’t hesitate to work with her to sell our place. Bonnie made us feel comfortable right from the get-go; she was available for questions at all hours, always provided us with her recommendations, and supported our decisions. She obviously knows the Upper Beaches, and used this knowledge, along with her marketing savvy and high-energy personality, to attract potential buyers (and help us sell over-asking!). If you’re looking to buy or sell, we highly recommend her. Thank you, Bonnie!
-Charles & Letitzia (Upper Beaches)
Bonnie helped us sell our home in 2013 and we highly recommend her. There were some fairly complex and delicate challenges in our situation that she managed extremely well and we are very happy with how everything worked out under her guidance. She has a positive energy, is a great communicator, and thinks creatively to reach successful outcomes. And in addition to all that, she takes good care of the fundamentals: being responsive and calling back soon, proactively follows up with others as needed, and simply being such a genuinely caring person that is a pleasure to work with.
-Dino & Mei (Upper Beaches)
It is with pleasure that we share our comments on our experience with Bonnie on a search for our new family home. From the moment we met, we knew Bonnie was the right choice. She was responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and came prepared. She ALWAYS made herself available, and without a note of hesitation in her voice. After countless outings, never did we feel pressure to put in an offer, and always did we feel she had our best interest at heart. On a professional level, Bonnie was very efficient and able to tend to our needs and provide support in landing the right house in a competitive neighborhood connecting us with inspectors, lenders, and contractors to ensure a smooth process. All this tied together landed us in a house that we love and in a neighbourhood that feels like home. Bonnie, throughout the whole process, you really felt like a friend…so much so…that we kept you as one. Thank you.
-Alina Thouin & Mark Bailey (Birchcliffe-Cliffside)
We listed with Bonnie and moved out of Toronto. Our experience was that Bonnie is very easy to work with, knowledgeable, professional, and never made us feel any pressure. With her great staging and a few complimentary repairs, we sold above list price on the first day! We had two very similar, competing offers and accepted the one that best met our needs. One of the offers on the table came from a buyer client of Bonnie’s and we truly appreciate that she presented them both in the same manner…and did not go out of her way to favor her own clients offer. This showed us that she had our best interest at heart. We highly recommend Bonnie!
-John McIlveen & Natalie Anastakis (Upper Beaches)
Thank you for being so great to work with on the purchase of my new home. It was a next step that could have caused me stress – but it didn’t. You were patient and listened to my worries and never made me feel any pressure to ‘just pick one already’. I really believe that if it took us another six months to find a place you would have continued to be enthusiastic and supportive. From start to finish – you were a pleasure to work with. Oh, and I love my new place. Thanks for everything.
-Tareq Khatib (Liberty Village)
Just wanted to say that working with Bonnie on my first real estate purchase was a great and stress-free experience. She brought a positive and fun energy to the process and was always professional, as called for, in our dealings and with others. There was no pressure on me along the way but when I found the right fit, she was there for every step and even picked up and delivered my new keys and has been so helpful and supportive after closing. I’m so excited to make my new place a home and I am thankful that I had such a positive experience during the buying process. Thanks, Bonnie!
-Sarah Weaver (Church-Yonge Corridor)
Hi folks — we worked with Bonnie in getting our new place and she is great! Very patient, took us to a variety of different places, listened to what we were looking for, and was just an all-around joy to work with. Highly recommend her.
-John Rooney & Jason Bailey (Bay Street Corridor)
The home that we purchased was being represented by Bonnie and I was very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the area. As a local resident herself, Bonnie was able to share pertinent details about the location, schools, local events, etc. Her open house was very inviting and her ability to answer all of our questions while not being overbearing was refreshing after visiting many open houses previously. She represented her clients well through her professionalism, strategic marketing materials, and home staging. She was a pleasure to work with from the buyers’ side.
-Sommer Ellis (Upper Beaches)
If anyone is thinking of selling their place in the near future Joseph and I recommend Bonnie Visentin. Her knowledge of the upper beach community proved to be invaluable when listing our house! Her commitment, dedication, and professionalism helped to make our experience a positive one! 🙂
-Melissa Hestick and Joseph Wa (Upper Beaches)
We recently moved from the Upper Beach Manors community and I wanted to say that if anyone is considering selling please consider Bonnie Visentin as your agent. Bonnie did a great job for us and obviously as an owner and board member has unmatched knowledge of this community and the upper beach area in general. She also got us one of the highest selling prices for these units so far. Thanks, Bonnie!
-Elizabeth and Ryan DiQuattro (Upper Beaches)
“So, it is funny that I am writing a testimonial for Bonnie…as I wasn’t really her client! Maybe that makes a testimonial even more note-worthy as I can only imagine what type of service I would have received if I had been. Bonnie was the listing agent on a property that I was purchasing, for which I didn’t have any representation of my own. How difficult could it be, right? Well, I have to say if I didn’t have Bonnie on the other end of the deal…I think it might have been more difficult than I would have liked. From the get-go, Bonnie really got that this first purchase was a life changer for me and I could tell she wanted it to go perfectly. She was extra patient, helpful, and excited every step of the way. She remembered being there herself and really stepped into my shoes – I felt I had a friend on my side. Even after closing, she kept in touch to see how my experience was going and truth be told…it was (is) going great. I love my new place and I am sure part of the reason for that was the ease at which I was able to get into it. I look forward to having you over once my new digs are all fancied up! Oh, and next time I will be sure to have representation…you!
