THANKS for everything! Milana, you made my dream house come true. I appreciate all of your help! If it wasn’t for you, I would never have My Dream Home.

“A long-overdue thank you to our wonderful realtor, Milana Cizmar. We met Milana in 2011 as we began our search for a real estate agent who could assist us in moving from condo life to home ownership. We instantly connected with Milana’s friendly and professional demeanour. When we found our home, it was love at first site. A two-story, red-brick home with a red front door in West Etobicoke. Milana approached a very challenging offer meeting with the sellers with calm and a level of professionalism only an agent with Milana’s experience and grace could deliver. We successfully bought the house! Milana provided us with an excellent analysis of her pricing methodology and staging recommendations for our condo sale. We priced fairly according to Milana’s guidance, and our condo sold within 3 days of listing and over ask! We were thrilled!Fast forward six years and two little boys later, we reached out to Milana again as we were ready to begin our search for a bigger home. Milana was so patient as we took our time looking at properties and different neighbourhoods. Our search took us to the west side of Mississauga, and one late November weekend we stumbled upon our home. Beautiful and bright, lovely street, great area with lots of amenities, beautiful community centre. We were very excited! Milana was very positive and calm, and walked us through the offer process step-by-step, just as she did with our first home. By the end of the weekend, we had purchased our dream home!
The prospect of preparing our first house for sale was truly daunting. Milana met with us to present her pricing analysis and recommendations for listing our home – we set a goal to purge, declutter and stage within one week, and list our home before Christmas. This was no easy task with two young children, and a relatively cluttered home. But we did it! With Milana’s guidance and ever-present encouragement, we met our goal – the house looked great, was on the market within a week, and sold before Christmas for more than we had anticipated!
We moved to our new home in March and have settled in with our two boys. We can’t thank Milana enough for all her support, knowledge, skill and professionalism in our real estate transactions. She is truly a gem and we are so very grateful for her. Thank you, Milana!
~Lindsay and Anthony
Thanks so much for your hard work. We really appreciate you taking time over the holiday season to show us houses.Its been great working with you! We hope to work with you again in the future.
~ Jonathan and Shereen
We started working with Milana in March 2016, and were so happy that she was our real estate agent throughout the process. Buying a home in Toronto can be a very stressful experience, but Milana is one of the most even keeled people we have ever met. She is incredibly organized, was always available for a phone call when required, and really helped put us in the right mindset to buy the house. She gave us crucial advice that allowed us to focus on what was most important to us, and we were able to cut out the rest of the noise. We believe that this is her most important quality in a fast moving, ever changing market. Ultimately, we ended up reaching a deal on our dream house in June 2016, and could not be happier with how things worked out. We would highly recommend Milana to anyone thinking about purchasing a house.
~Gordon and Katherine
It’s slowly sinking in that we just got a house! The more and more I think about it, it just felt it was all meant to be!
I’m almost a little sad that we won’t be able to go see houses and talk on a daily basis with you now. It was stressful but you made everything easy and fun for us!
~ Mina
Milana is an excellent real estate agent! She provides a high standard of professional service where the customer comes first. My fiancee had used her in the past for other sales and buying. From the beginning she explained her thorough analysis of the market to determine pricing on condos, to explaining the documents that are needed to start and complete a condo sale to wrapping up the sale of my property. She was very professional, personable and open. Milana had an excellent marketing plan including the use of publications, computer listings and social media etc. She was in frequent contact by phone, text and email to notify me of all showings and status of our property. I sold my condo in 1 month. Milana provided sound advice and guidance in negotiations. She went over and above in her efforts for me. I highly recommend her and would use her again.
~Loredana
Thanks for everything you have done for us to find our new home! You have been instrumental with putting everything together and cannot thank you enough. We are thankful we had you assisting us with navigating through the business, with what we quickly realized, differing degrees of expertise and professionalism. Our experience has been relatively painless as we were fortunate to have had top shelf representation!
~ Deryk and Sheri-Lynn
Milana, I would like to thank you for your invaluable help in selling my home and helping me find a new one. Your excellent knowledge and professionalism made the entire process so much easier. Your quick response to my questions and concerns made me feel calm and confident that everything will turn out well. The basket and donation was just the cherry on the cake. Sincerest thanks,
~Beatriz
As first time home buyers we were apprehensive about the whole process. We are so happy that we chose you as you made us feel comfortable every step of the way.
We were referred to Milana Cizmar by our best friends. They had high praise from their experience with her a couple of years ago as they sold their condo and looked for a home. They were able to sell their condo and buy a home with relative ease. I met Milana during an introduction visit and were immediately drawn to her personality. And so we decided to seek her guidance as we sought a home.
Our experience with Milana Cizmar was wonderful. She was very accommodating of our irregular work hours and was very patient with us. She sometimes knew what we wanted even before we realized it. She made us feel comfortable and in control. Buying a home has been one of the best experiences of our lives. We love our home and have put a lot of effort into making it our own. But it all started with the purchase. We are grateful that we made this decision and very happy we chose Milana.Thanks Milana!
~ Marsel and Tom
Milana, Thank you for all that you did helping us find our new home. We really value your opinion and expertise. You were always patient with us too! Thank you also for the beautiful gift basket. It is very much appreciated.
~Alex and Gavin
Milana came highly recommended to us. And, after getting to know her and working with her to sell our home, we understand why. Milana takes the time to get to know you, your needs, where you are “at” and proceeds to create a strategy specifically for you. We love her constant professionalism and positive outlook. SHE ROCKS! She sold our home in 3 days and got us a price higher than what we listed our home for! Thanks Milana!.~ Hanna Guerra
Our Milana, Thank you for all your hard work, we know you were the one pulling and pushing this deal along, it did not go un-noticed. Now on to our next venture together.. What about that 1.million house???
~Frances and Christopher
Your very strong people skills, along with your “tried and true” process produced great results for us in the sale of our home- Many thanks, Milana- Our choice of agents couldn’t have been better.~ Mike Matthews
We can’t thank you enough, Milana, for all you did in helping us find a new home and sell our current home.
After 42 years in the same house, it was a difficult decision and seemed quite daunting. You were patient in showing us many houses until we found the right one and carefully guided us through the buying process. Then with your expert knowledge of the market, you helped us prepare our home to show at its best. Your marketing skills brought in 40 showings in one week and helped us sell for well over asking. No wonder our son and his wife recommended you. We will certainly do the same.
Many thanks,~ Libbie Matthews
We recently sold a much-loved family home, and we were very fortunate to have chosen to work with Milana. She provided outstanding advice and handled every aspect with great professionalism and, indeed, sensitivity.We were very impressed with her knowledge of the market, her judgment on how the home should be marketed and presented, and the extremely insightful advice that she provided.She was quite simply just a great person to work with, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
~ Rob and Craig Dunbar
YOU ROCK! You sold my place in seven days for a great price. I am very happy with the result. I’ll definitely use your services again and highly recommend you to anyone who is buying or selling. Cheers!
~Mike Coughlan
My experience with Milana was phenomenal. She was referred to me by a colleague and I chose to work with her after interviewing her and other agents. From the interview, I noticed that she was professional and attentive to my needs. My place was an unappealing bachelor pad with little furniture, but after Milana’s staging, even family and friends couldn’t believe it was the same place. In the end, I got two offers and my condo was conditionally sold 4 days after it was listed. I’ll definitely work with her again in the future.
~ Yusuf
Milana was my real estate agent and was able to help pull off one of the most difficult transactions I have ever seen. She is very professional and thorough. I have since referred Milana to 2 other friends who are very happy with her work.”
~ Andy
My wife and I hired Milana to assist with the sale and purchase of our homes. Milana was thoughtful, personable and provided us with expert advice throughout the process. Through her business network she was able to provide us with contacts for staging, home inspection and mortgage services. She eased our stress and was eternally patient until we found our dream house. She is a great agent if you are looking to buy a home in the GTA .
~ Vic and Laura
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Milana on the sale and purchase of our homes. Milana is remarkably dependable and a true professional. She listened to our needs and was very open to new ideas and suggestions. Milana guided us through the processes of selling and purchasing a home in a manner that was not only informative but also alleviated our stress. We always felt that Milana was focused on our interests and “had our back” when it came to the negotiating aspects. Her ability to communicate constructively, her solution-oriented manner and her work ethic are just some of the many qualities that make her someone that I am honoured to recommend.
~ Ryan
Both my husband and I have hired Milana on various occasions for house transactions and real estate advice. She has always shown the highest professionalism, integrity and efficiency. I would definately recommend her professional services to my friends and colleagues.
~ Fil
“We hired Milana to purchase a new home and sell our existing home. The whole experience with Milana was a pleasure! Milana is the epitomy of professional. Her insightful market analysis, deep market knowledge, unbridled commitment and can-do attitude ensured we got top dollar for our existing home and didn’t overpay or lose out on our new home.
Milana was with us every step of the way and was the voice of calm and reason during some unavoidable stress-filled moments. She secured us 98+% of asking on a very unusual home in 10 days and set a new record for the block. As first time sellers, Milana walked us through the process and had a bevy of supurb professionals to assist with different aspects of the sale. If/when we are in need of an agent, it is without a doubt we would work with Milana again; it is also without hesitation that I recommend Milana to anyone considering buying or selling a home/condo/etc.”
~ Monique
“You really found us a great house and neighborhood. I can walk Ryan to school, the park is full of kids and the people and neighbours are great. I can’t believe what a change! Thanks for all the help”.
~ Janet
“We want to thank you so much for helping sell our house in such a whirl wind summer for us. It was so nice to work with someone that is very professional. Thanks again!”
~ Carmon, Cheryl and Max
“Thanks so much for a job well done, Paul and I and Dad, of course, were very impressed with your service. With your expertise Dad got an awesome offer and he is very pleased with that, he sounds absolutely giddy tonight…that’s great to hear…thanks. I am glad that he followed his instincts and would not allow anyone to convince him to go elsewhere. Thanks again, you made an old man very happy!”
~ Janet B.
“We switched to Milana after losing bidding wars on 5 houses with an uninformed agent. What a difference it makes when your real estate broker does research and can provide sound guidance! Milana secured an over-asking price for our starter home and found us a great new home. We believe Milana’s professional persuasiveness convinced the sellers to choose us when they had 7 other competitive offers. Thanks, Milana!”
~ Bruce and Janet
“Brian and I wanted to write you a letter to thank you so much for your wonderful help in finding us a home! You made yourself available to us at any time to see houses, and you made it so much easier to narrow down homes that were suitable for our needs with your knowledge of certain areas. We looked forward to the new MLS listings you sent us by email each night and looked forward to having your input on properties that we were interested in.
You always made it easy for us to ask any question, and never made us feel like we were silly first-time homebuyers! Your high level of professionalism, your integrity, your sense of humour and your tell-it-like-it-is attitude made us feel extremely comfortable that we made the right decision, and we would recommend you highly to any friend that was interested in buying a house. We miss speaking to you on a daily basis, but we are sure that if we buy another house, you`ll be the first person we call!”
~ Brian & Fran
“Thank you for your wonderful gift basket, we have been enjoying the goodies in between our work tasks on the house. Also, thank you for being such a great professional and helping us find the perfect house for us, we are really, really happy in this house. I have no reservation passing your name on to friends and family and we actually already have to a few friends. Best of luck in the future and if ever we decide to upgrade and sell the house you will definitely be the first person we contact. Feel free also to use us as a reference for any of your clients.”
~ Brendan & Valerie
“In our pursuit to buy our first home it seemed every agent we talked with was shallow, blatantly dishonest, non-responsive to our needs, or kept trying to push houses on us that were outside our preferred area, price range or tastes. We quickly grew tired of agents that were too buddy-buddy, or conversely, never returned our calls. All we wanted was a professional to meet OUR needs. And then came Milana – a breath of fresh air in the Toronto real estate scene…finally an agent worthy of our highest esteem, and an agent with integrity. We found Milana to be a great listener, accessible, professional, and a tenacious negotiator, offering prudent advice, warm enthusiasm, and sound judgment that comes with experience.
Without hesitation we will recommend Milana to all our friends. Should we ever need a second home we know where we will turn, without a second thought.”
~ Ciara and Iain
“You came into our lives when we both wanted a change in lifestyle but did not know what, just that it included a move from our current home. You not only got us a bidding war on our home and sold well above asking price but directed us to the area that has proved to suit both our needs. You helped us narrow down where we wanted to live and found us our dream home, with your home staging advice you also found us a decorator to help make our new house that home. We expected a real estate agent, not a life style coach and a wonderful friend!”
~ Frances & Christopher.
It began with curiousity when we met Milana for the first time at an open house. After about three years we decided to purchase our first home and remembered the kind real estate agent that we met years earlier. We contacted Milana to begin the home buying process and asked her to help us since we knew nothing about purchasing a home. Not only did Milana share her knowledge and wisdom with us, she taught us everything we needed to know in order to buy a good home. As a real estate agent she demonstrated great patience, honesty and kindness throughout the entire process.Words cannot express how much we truly appreciated the help in finding our first home. We not only gained a fantastic real estate agent but a friend who cares about our family as well. Thank you Milana!!
