We always felt as if our best interest was at heart and we could trust with out a doubt that we were getting the best advice and guidance throughout our home buying journey. Andrew fought tooth and nail to get us the best possible deal in the end and we are extremely happy with the result. Carlo handled the finance portion of the deal and did a fantastic job.

Today we closed! Thank you to Andrew & John. I’ve known both these gentlemen for 18+ years, yet every time we interact I am shocked at the integrity and professionalism, from business to personal relationships. These guys are second to none. The transparency and insight from the start was top level and they were always available whenever we had questions or requests. Look no where else for your real estate needs. I can say with certainty that you will never leave a deal with John & Andrew feeling like there was more that could be done. They will give it their all, in a society like today’s - where everyone is looking to make a dollar by any means, that is NOT the case with these guys. Their first priority is to HELP and ensure you get what you deserve, make the best decision for your family and choose Gaio Real Estate. - Jarred Medeiros
The Gaio team was thorough and professional and great to work with. John kept us apprised and always let us know as soon as a new home came on the market. An excellent experience. - Charlie Rego

If you are in the process of buying or selling, I would recommend you calling The Gaio Team. You will notice the difference right away. - Brian Cooper
From the beginning, John and Andrew were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and motivated. They walked us through every step of the process and provided valuable insight when it came to pricing. John recommended an excellent stager, and when his landscaping contact wasn't able to make our tight schedule, he stepped up and enlisted his wife's help in making our property look absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend John highly enough. - Zachary Keizer

The best real estate agent I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and helpful. He was great at giving us the right advise and list of things needed to get buyers and spike interest in our Condo. In a matter of two weeks our Condo was sold! We highly recommend him. - Remy and Edgardo Sunga
The Gaio team is great!! John and Andrew took the time to understand exactly what our family was looking for and worked hard to find us our perfect home. I recommend them to anyone who is considering getting a real estate agent for buying or selling a home. Thank You! - Sonia Lourenco
Our property was sold the same day it was listed, $46 000 over price. Team Gaio was professional, and very helpful throughout the whole process. The exposure of our property was out of this world. I highly recommend this wonderful team for selling or buying properties. Thanks Team Gaio 🙂 - Noémia Alves
John and Andrew were truly a pleasure to work with on our home purchase. Through out our journey they pivoted to our ever changing needs and wants. Truly made the entire process stress free for our family - George Maia
For anyone navigating the purchase and/or sale of a home during these uncertain covid times, you undoubtedly appreciate the transparency of a professional realty team that truly cares. That was our experience with John and Andrew. The unreliability of the housing market triggered a lot of anxiety for us. Can I sell my house? Will I find my dream home? What about entering multiple offers? Firm or conditional? John and Andrew guided us, step by step, through the purchase of a new home and the sale our existing home, with the unrelenting assurance that they had our backs. The process was seamless. In the purchase of a home, Andrew was prepared with all the local information that a family of 4 like ours would ask. What does the area have to offer? Logistics, education, transportation, neighborhoods, shopping, taxes, utilities, even local festivals. In short, he had it all, ready to go, very impressive. We felt that he really listened to our needs and went out of his way to educate us as much as possible to make us feel sure of our buying decision. The buying process took an entire Sunday... yes Sunday... at midnight (crazy) the deal was done!! The sale of our home is where we truly saw why John and Andrew were so highly recommended to us. Presentation, advice, showings, proposals, and the video they made of our house... it was unreal!! Our neighbors were amazed by the exposure and attention that our listing received. We decided to do a 4-day listing as per their advice, and right from the get-go, as soon as the listing went live, my phone was blowing up with showing requests, I just couldn't believe it!! We received multiple offers and our house was sold with a firm offer. We bought a house, and sold our home, so I guess we wouldn't hear from these guys until near the closing dates. No Sir, that was not the case. To our surprise, these guys followed up afterwards and gave us several contacts for lawyers near our area, and even helped us work out the details with our mortgage lender to make us feel at ease. What else can I say?? No matter whether buying or selling a property, you want someone that you can trust, that understands the current market trend, and most importantly, that understands YOU. For most of us, buying a home is most likely the most important purchase of our lifetime, so why cut corners, give these guys a call, they know what they are doing! - Peter Valente
The Gaio team was outstanding in helping us through the process of buying a new home and selling our existing home. They were very knowledgeable and supportive through the entire process. It can be very stressful especially during this Covid time but when you have a great team working for you they helped get you through it with much more ease. We would definitely work with them again. Five stars all the way! - Anna Ieraci
In today’s competitive market, the Gaio Team goes above and beyond to ensure their clients are well informed about every detail pertaining to the purchase of a home. My wife and I had been searching for our dream home for 4 years, and once we found it, we called John and Andrew right away. From their business expertise to refined negotiating skills, we purchased our dream home, and we could not be happier. Thank you, Gaio Team, for keeping our best interest as your main priority. - Bob and Liz
As first-time home buyers, my partner and I were naturally nervous as to how we'd navigate the real estate market. After reaching out to John and Andrew GAIO, they took the time to patiently answer several of our questions and understand what exactly we wanted in a home. The GAIO team wasted no time in sending us prospective properties that matched our criteria for consideration. John was frank about location, return on investment, and individual property assets vs. comparables in the area. In what we thought would take several weeks or even months, my partner and I closed the sale on a beautiful detached home in our chosen geograp hic area within 7 days from when the property listed. We couldn't have done it without the GAIO team. If you're looking for a professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate team who have your best interests in mind, look no further than the GAIO team. - Russell Hayne
We recently sold our home with the Gaio Team and were excited to have worked with this dynamic and outstanding duo. Both John and Andrew displayed exceptional professionalism and down-to-earth, honest advice. Their marketing strategies, ranging from astonishing photos, to creative videos and up-to-date social media, helped put our home on the map. We received multiple offers and they helped us navigate the system from an honest approach. This is the second home we sell through John, and will continue to have him represent us in future deals. - Rob Machado
Making the decision to sell our family home was difficult. But when we knew we were ready, we made the call to John and Andrew Gaio. They were the ultimate professionals and detailed all the steps involved in the process. If there was something we didn’t understand, they would take the time to explain so we felt comfortable with the decision we were making. We never felt pressured to make a decision we weren’t comfortable with. We truly admired that about them. Their honesty, professionalism and extensive real estate knowledge was something we truly valued. We can’t thank them enough! - Mark Viveiros
John and Andrew Gaio went above and beyond to help us find our new family home. The responsiveness and communication we received from them was phenomenal. John and Andrew made us feel at ease as they knew the right house would come up - and it did. We’re extremely happy with our purchase and appreciate all the work they did for us! - Vanessa Pacheco
The Gaio team surpassed the experience of selling our family home, it wasn't an easy decision, however with the support of our agent and his expertise to successfully meet our needs, helped our experience with the sale. Thank you for reaching your full potential in getting the best of the sale for your clients satisfaction. Your team is highly recommended to all. - Connie Viveiros
Such a pleasure to deal with honest and well informed Agent who conducts himself professional and respectful manor . A well informed agent / with a well laid out sales plan gets great results ! John & Andrew , work with integrity and have the best interest of their client . I highly recommend the Gaio Team ! Thanks Again John & Andrew ! - Angelo Rigitano
Selling a house during a pandemic was made much easier with John, Andrew and the Gaio Team. We list ed our house at the start of the pandemic and on John's recommendation, we paused it and later came back at the perfect time in July. We're glad we did because not only did we sell the house, we sold the house for over asking. We credit this to John's years of experience and the recommendations he made to us to make the house more attractive to potential buyers. It was the little things that we, as first time home sellers, didn't consider that we feel really helped to push our house from good to great. Two examples we didn't consider that John suggested are first, make the front entrance attractive and offer a place for the elderly to sit while the agent unlocks the lock-box. Second, adding whole-home music to create a welcoming space for potential buyers. Overall, we're very satisfied with John, Andrew and the Gaio Team and would recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a house. John is a full-time agent with a long and successful career. You can put your faith in him because you know he is 100% committed to work for you and not simply working real estate as a side-job. This fact really matters because anyone can list a house, it takes a professional like John to make sure that you get the most back from your investment. - Laura Hussain
John, Andrew and The Gaio Team made our second home purchase as effortless as the our first purchase. John and Andrew went above and beyond to help us find our new home in Innisfil which is far out of their usual working area. The long drives out there on the weekends was totally worth it because they helped us find our perfect house. While we appreciate many things about John, one of the more stand out things is that he really works to get you the right house and not just rush through the sale of any house for his benefit. He will not hesitate to call out things that are wrong with the house or the neighborhood. As an example, we really liked a house that was great inside and at a great price. John, however, pointed out that while everything was great inside, the street the house was on was busy and said we would would get sick of it eventually. He was absolutely right because we didn't even consider that. He said, I'm paraphrasing, location is more important than the house because while you can change, fix, upgrade the inside, you cannot change the location. Now, we have a perfect house on a quiet cul-de-sac and we couldn't be happier with the house and location. If, like us, you're home-buying novices we highly recommend John, Andrew and the Gaio Team. They really care about you and getting you the perfect home and not just a house. They will not gloss over deficiencies, problems or anything that might make you unhappy with your purchase down the road. - Ekhlasur Rahman
John has been my realtor since my first purchase six years ago. So when I decided to move, John was the only realtor I would use to sell my house and purchase a new one. Throughout the process John gave great advice and guided me through the process. He works for the best interest of his clients. He is always available and goes above and beyond for his clients. John sold my home above asking and negogiated a lower purchase price for my new home. If you are considering a soild realtor that will help you in the home buying process and make it a smooth experience I would highly recommend John. - Michael Kartick
John recently sold our home for well above the asking price in less than 1 week. There are simply not enough words of praise for the level of service John provides to his clients. Suffice it to say that we will share our experience and recommend his services to anyone without hesitation. We could not be more excited. Thank you John. You are simply the BEST! - Edmundo Oliveira
We have been working with John for years and wouldn't trade him for the world. Always helpful and resourceful. He always gives us straight answers and great direction in what we should do. Thanks again John for selling our last home. Looking forward to our purchase with you now. - Noel Sunga
John was an absolute professional from the first call, to the house being sold firm. He is amazing at what he does and knows the areas very well. Walked us through the process all the way! A job well done John! If anyone needs your help I will gladly pass your name on! Keep up the great work you do! - Norm O
This is our second purchase with John and we were happy he found us a home. The knowledge and guidance he supplied has helped us tremendously in our decision. He also made us aware of the environment, competition, neighbourhood and other things that we may have not known. We value his efforts and countless hours he spent with us and his own time to work in finding what exactly we needed. - Elizabeth Nogueira
From the first, John Gaio carefully explained the market and the normal selling process before the house was put up for sale in mid March. When Covid-19 hit, he helped us through the time of adjustment to meet any Covid-19 issues. Though these times have been so unpredictable, John patiently advised us and made sure we were fully informed throughout the offer and closing process. We could not have chosen a better agent! - Carolyn Gonyou
I have dealt with other agents in the past, and may I say, John, without a doubt has had our best interest in mind from the start. So professional and courteous and really listened to our needs. I wish there were more agents like John. An agent is someone we put our trust in, and with John, 100%. I would recommend John to anyone who is looking for a great agent. Thanks for all the help and support, so appreciated. Linda - Linda Oliveira
John Gaio is unquestionably the best agent we have ever worked with. He is much more than a realtor and goes beyond any expectation to gets things done. We are very fortunate to have picked John as our realtor and would recommend him to anyone looking at buying or selling. Thank you John! - Andrew Miller
John Gaio served us with excellence in the selling of our house at 63 Adirondack Cres.,Brampton, ON L6R 1E5. At the appointed time he came to our house, (address above)for our first meeting with him. He did not seem driven as many do. He reviewed the major issues that we would need to know aboout. After that was done he remained and chatted for an appropriate amount of time. He kept his word, He answered our questions carefully. From then until the time of the sale he made himself available to us. He was a gentleman. The whole process was excellently carried out. - Donald Bastian
John Gaio is a great agent to work with. He has been responsive, knowledgable and ready to help since day 1. His initial consultation on real estate market & mortgage is a true indication that he gives first. John also has been patient during the showing tours, and with his honest opinions, I saved a lot of time. As otherwise I would have gone to the houses that are not necessaily suitable for me. Eventually, John has helped me get a house that not only meets my requirements, but also at a reasonable price. If you need someone who can get you the ideal property and represent your interest to the most, John Gaio is the one. - Kaifeng Lu
From the very first phone call with John, we knew we were in good hands. He introduced us to our new area and boy, did we fall instantly in love. John was extremely thorough throughout the whole process and educated us along the way to make the best decision possible for our family. His attention to detail, follow up and professionalism are second to none. John was and will continue to be, a huge resource for us, and we would encourage and recommend him to anyone looking to land their dream home. Our family can't thank him enough. - Kevin Moniz
When we first met with John, he explained that his job is more service than sales. He proved that time and again with his thorough knowledge of the local market. John was instrumental in preparing our home for sale and was quick to arrange for a professional photographer to come in and photograph our property. The results were absolutely breathtaking. Thanks to his innovative and extensive marketing strategies and negotiating skills, our home sold in less than 1 week for well over asking. We could not have picked a better realtor to represent us. We would like to thank you John for your hard work and dedication. You surpassed our expectation and we will forever be grateful for your kindness and honesty. - Catia Caires
Hi everyone, John was referred to my wife & I by a wonderful couple to whom we shall be forever grateful. Our situation my & I was an uncommon one. We had a house to sell, but also because we were moving overseas in a few weeks and needed someone we can trust a 100%. The home we loved so much & lived the greatest moments of our lives in. It was listed a first time for 3 months in the same year & did not sell. So it was a few weeks remaining prior to our departure date we called John, he came home an evening & we explained to John what the situation was. That first meeting that we thought was just going to be an introduction went on for 2.5hrs. John had right away understood our situation and the urgency. He left us that night with a short list of to do things he recommended and also the person/s he would recommend for the jobs at reasonable costs. One of them he even called right away in front of us to introduce us to the person. We were already feeling a big relief & a sense of satisfaction when John told us that what was most important for him is to help us selling our home & not the commission. Meanwhile, a private buyer had contacted us. The buyer was very serious with a very good offer. The only problem was he needed some time to get approved for a mortgage and unfortunately we couldn't afford waiting or leaving everything pending behind & go. So we called John & we met & we told him about the offer. His first reaction was happy to hear that we already have a client. He surprised us even more when he advised us with options that we could consider. John also offered to oversee & help with the legal docs, if that buyer was approved & the deal were to be closed. He ended this brief session by stupefying us when he told us he will do all of this at zero commission or only what his office would charge to allow him to help us with this deal. John had only one week after our departure to coordinate with the tradesperson to get our home ready to go live on MLS. The day before we left John had swung by the house to grab the keys & say goodbye. The morning we were leaving we went to meet the lawyers office John had recommended to introduce ourselves & take notes of how to proceed with the documents from overseas. The following week everything was ready, pictures, videos, cleaning. The house was spotless. John took care of absolutely everything during our absence and kept us updated of how the work was progressing. He stopped by the house to make sure everything was good & safe. We even video called a few times. Since it had then been a little more than a month that we talked on the price, we reassessed the listing price based on the current market trend and all the work that was done. We reached an agreement & the was listed on MLS the very next day. John kept us updated of number of showings & what kind of responses he was getting from the agents. We had lots of activity but it only took us one offer and the house was sold firm in a week at asking price - BAM!! We would recommend John Gaio to anyone simply because we think he is the best at what he does! - Vel Vydelingum
A huge thank you to John, #1 Realtor for making my home buying experience a positive one. I never felt pressured into buying and John was wonderful at pointing out different aspects of each home I viewed. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent negotiator. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking at buying or selling. Thank you John for all your patience and support. You are truly AMAZING! - D Picanco
