Mandeep Basra Reviews

We recently purchased our first home in Ottawa, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have had Mandeep as our realtor. From day one, he guided us through every step of the process with clarity, patience, and professionalism—turning what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and enjoyable journey. Living in Toronto at the time, my wife and I were especially grateful for Mandeep’s flexibility and commitment. He arranged numerous virtual showings, saving us unnecessary travel and ensuring we only made the trip to Ottawa when a property truly matched our interests. Over the course of six months, Mandeep took the time to help us understand the nuances of different home styles and neighborhoods. He was consistently approachable, responsive, and honest in his advice, quickly tuning into our preferences and priorities. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we found a home that felt just right. We deeply appreciate the time and care Mandeep invested in us. His transparency, professionalism, and genuine support made all the difference. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, we wholeheartedly recommend Mandeep—he’s exceptional.

I had a vague idea of how tedious the process of buying a home would be, but when I explored the real estate market and faced the reality , it was overwhelming. The kind effort required to filter out between the available options had started to take a toll on my mental health. But a big “THANK YOU !!” to Mandeep (and team Basra) who assisted us in buying our first home here in Ottawa. From the start Mandeep clearly explained us the process by breaking it down to our level of understanding. He explicitly highlighted the do’s and don’ts that we should keep in mind when selecting between choices. As we went through multiple open-houses and private showings with him, he was able to correctly gauge our requirements and personal likings that we sought in a house. Many times, he pointed out flaws in our choices and was not hesitant to mention it to us. This is the best part I liked about Mandeep’s style of working, that he is willing to mention the truth even if was against his client’s wishes. He believes in not buying at all rather than buying a wrong choice of house. We had a tough time with one of the house options where there was an arson incident after our offer was accepted, but Mandeep stood by us clearly steering us away from falling into such a pit hole. He understood the trauma that we were going through and encouraged us to start looking over again and not take this as a setback. “Trust” is something very hard to find these days and least of all in the real estate market. But I am glad I was able have a realtor like Mandeep, who with his honest and professional behaviour has gained my complete trust during this process. I would always recommend him to anyone who approaches me for a realtor here in Ottawa. Thanks Mandeep once again !!! Stay cheerful as always✌️

Buying my first home in a new country was a huge deal, a pretty daunting investment. Finding someone reliable I could truly trust, someone who actually had my back through the whole process, felt like a massive challenge. It was also tough to find a realtor who really got my needs and how I felt about a property. But when I talked to Mandeep, I felt comfortable. I knew he understood what I wanted and why. Since it was a new build, this wasn't a quick thing, it was a year-long process! Mandeep was consistently there, guiding me from the initial model home viewing and deposit, through the selection and finalization of upgrades, right to the final handover of the keys. He walked me through how appliances worked and gave me tips on keeping the house maintained when I settled in. He didn't hesitate to put in the time for this long haul. He didn't just help me professionally, he did some little extra things my dad or brother would have done for me if they were here. Since I didn't have easy ways to get around the city yet, he'd pick me up for appointments with the builder and drop me off. He found me all sorts of other contacts I needed related to the house, and I never felt pressured to use them. If I wasn't comfortable with his provided contact, he'd just find other options for me. Over the year, working together, I almost forgot that he was my realtor, not a family member. Dealing with a new build always has its stresses, but Mandeep provided amazing help by gathering the right information about the property. Now that I've moved into my house, it's surprising to know that some of my neighbors are unfamiliar with the things I am aware of. I feel good that nothing was hidden from me before I booked the house and I made an informed decision, and thanks to Mandeep. He even helped with the lawyer and mortgage stuff. His expertise, his knowledge, and most importantly, just how he conducted himself, made me trust him naturally. I am glad I did. He is definitely my go-to person for any future investments.

Mandeep did a fantastic job renting out my home. He guided me through all the offers, explained everything clearly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to his professionalism and support, we quickly found great tenants. I highly recommend his service!

I had an amazing experience with Team Basra Real Estate while selling my home. Mandeep truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process; always available, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making things as smooth as possible. His dedication and professionalism made a stressful process feel effortless. I highly recommend Team Basra, especially Mandeep, to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you again for everything!

Mandeep was excellent to deal with. We met him for our first home search and from the get-go I understood that I have the right realtor. Mandeep was always punctual in meetings to the extent that he would text even if he was 2 minutes late for a showing !! He took his time to understand what we wanted and just listned to our needs first before suggesting anything. Mandeep was always avaialble to help us discuss concerns for any thing about any house. We did multiple showings of some of the houses and never ever I felt slight hesitancy from him for the same. He also guided us to not to be emotional about bells/whistles of the house and how to evaluate properly on our needs/financial capabilities. There were few houses which my wife and I loved but he didn't take that as an opportunity to let the deal slide through but showed us the down sides of the house and then asked us to re-eveluate the expense that house would incur in future and if we still want to close. He helped us negotiate house a bit and told us to be patience and see as many houses as we like to get the house we really want. Mandeep was an absolute pleasure to work with. We met him during our very first home search, and right from the beginning, I knew we had found the right realtor. He was consistently punctual—so much so that he would even text us if he was going to be just two minutes late for a showing! What stood out most was how attentively he listened. Rather than jumping in with suggestions, Mandeep took the time to truly understand what we were looking for. He was always available to discuss any questions or concerns we had, no matter how big or small. We viewed several homes multiple times, and not once did we feel any reluctance or impatience from him. Mandeep also gave us invaluable advice—encouraging us to look beyond the superficial features of a home and evaluate each property realistically, based on our actual needs and financial situation. There were a few homes my wife and I really liked, but rather than pushing us to close a deal, he pointed out the potential downsides and helped us think through long-term costs before making a decision. He guided us through negotiations and constantly reminded us to be patient, assuring us that it was okay to see as many homes as needed until we found the right one. Also, post closure of deal and after we moved in, Mandeep checked on us a few times and visited us to explain the basic maintenance of house for worry-free living. Thank you Mandeep!
