About Lorne Howell

Excellent service. Very professional. The first place to go if you are looking to buy is in Oakville, Burlington, or Mississauga.

I just moved to Canada and Debbie Gonin-Baun helped us to find the perfect house for us. She was helpful, and knowledgeable, and didn’t give up until we were 100% happy. Thanks, Debbie.

Lorne Howell 5 stars plus. It is common in this day and age for folks to over-promise and underperforms. Lorne is one of those rare individuals that underpromises and overperforms. I recommend him unreservedly to anyone interested in service above and beyond the call of duty.

The Invidiata team has been a pleasure to work with, specifically working with Lorne Howell. He has great knowledge of the area, a good read on the market, and the direction prices will go. He is always making himself available for even the smallest of questions and goes above and beyond for his clients.

5 Stars for Lorne Howell. Seems that a number of agents in Oakville profess to be number one. However, having successfully completed 6 transactions over the years with Lorne, I can confidently say that his extensive knowledge of the industry from a building, development, and sales perspective provided him with an insight that was unique from all agents we've dealt with. Save yourself the headache of finding the right agent, just give Lorne a call. Cheers John, A very happy customer.

5 stars for Lorne Howell. We met Lorne six years ago at an open house on our street. Recently, we listed our home with Lorne and it sold two weeks ago for an excellent price, especially in the current market situation and stiff competition in the neighborhood. We found he is a great negotiator and very knowledgeable in his field. Further, dealing with him was a great pleasure and he never pressurized us. He is a highly attentive agent. He always returned our phone calls, text messages, and e-mails promptly. He recommended some minor changes that we needed to make in our home to attract buyers, and his advice worked. Lorne is a very honest and hardwo...

We were very fortunate indeed to have had Lorne Howell of Invidiata Real Estate represent us in the sale of our Oakville home. Due to his thorough knowledge of the local real estate market, his extensive experience, his marketing ability, and his hard work our home was sold very quickly without stress. Lorne is very responsive to his clients as well as all others involved in the real estate transaction. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and his calm disposition and managerial capability, together with the fact he personally attended all appointments made the process seamless. Lorne is truly a dedicated real estate professional and a person of...

Though I have had the opportunity to work with real estate agents in the past, my experience with Rimsha Ali this time around was exceptional and indeed a pleasure to behold. Her attention to detail and ability to fashion out answers before the questions come is a true measure of expertise that’s hard to come by. Her professionalism was reflected in the care she exercised in guiding me to make an informed decisions for myself, identifying what truly matters when taking such a lifelong step. Her commitment to excellence created a very trusting relationship that allowed me to concentrate on other aspects of the journey which culminated in finding the ...

We sold our home in three days, above listing in a very challenging market. We couldn’t have achieved this without Lorne Howell. His attention to detail is unbelievable; from staging, photography, the video and even meeting all prospective buyers. Just before we listed, Oakville had a wind storm which brought down three trees on the property, despite my best attempts we couldn’t get a tree company to respond but Lorne miraculously had someone at our property within hours. The time that he dedicated to this sale was incredible, we felt like we could contact him at any time to ask questions and brainstorm. Right from the very beginning, when we were v...

Thank you for taking our listing and for assigning Lorne Howell as our realty sales representative. Lorne was an outstanding professional in every regard. From the very first meeting to the sale of our home he listened and responded to our every request and concern. The first price was our price, not his. The sale price was closer to his and the comparables. Lorne provided: an excellent Home Stager, a quick and expert painter, an excellent photographer, and a Home Collection magazine and feature sheet elaborating all the best aspects of our home. Lorne also held multiple open house events, to which he came early and prepared fully before viewer arri...

We have purchased and sold 19 homes over the years in both Canada and the USA and can say without any qualms that our overall experience in both the selling and purchasing process was truly hassle free..The service and expertise provided by both Lorne and Invidiata was consistently professional. Selling and purchasing a home can be very trying for most people but Lorne's professional approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. In addition, Lorne was extremely helpful by providing us with a list of quality contractors to help us with our renovations of our new home.We ended up hiring each one he recommended. I would not hesitate to recomme...

We worked with Donna Gray from Individiata to sell our home and she was wonderful to work with! Not only is Donna an expert in the South Mississauga/Oakville area but she also has a tremendous eye for styling a home. Donna was able to help us prioritize what needed to be done to maximize the selling price of our home as well as navigate as an expert negotiator. The marketing materials that she created were A+ and very high quality. Donna is everything you want in a realtor and more. We would absolutely recommend her to all of our loved ones!

Working with Lorne has been a real pleasure. Although we were listed with another agent previously and reasonably pleased, Lorne added a different caliber of professionalism. He gave us a detailed and compelling analysis of what he thought our property was worth. He went through our property and suggested how to eliminate some eyesores. He is punctual, courteous , follows up and is a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t recommend him more.

I recently worked with Rimsha and sold my house in Milton, Ontario. I live in Alberta and was guided all the way to complete the sale all remote. It was a wonderful and very satisfactory experience. She helped me and went out of the way in every step on this deal. The sold was sold in less than 12 hours. She managed to close the deal even higher than my asking price. I highly recommend Rimsha for the great work and excellent service.

Rimsha Ali is an amazing agent. She came recommended by a friend, and we are so happy we went with her. As second time home buyers the process can be intimidating, Rimsha made the process seamless, smooth and made sure our needs/wants were met and our many questions answered. She was always prompt to respond. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.

With over 25 years experience of buying and selling real estate in Canada and internationally my wife and I deal with many real estate agents. Lorne Howell is absolutely extraordinary in the pool of agents we have ever met. His exceptional attention to his clients’ needs, profound understanding of the market and outstanding approach to details makes the process of selling or buying a home (Lorne has helped us to buy and to sell) extremely comprehensive and smooth. Unlike many agents in the industry who disappear once a sales/purchase agreement is signed Lorne walks his clients through all stages of the deal and even provides a very caring post sale...

I am the kind of person who does her own research and doesn't trust anyone, specially real estate agents. I had many bad experiences with different agents, including friends who are in this business. So obviously, when trying to sell our condo and buying a house, I was looking for an agent that charged less as I didn't think I needed much from them. I talked to Rimsha at that time but decided to go with another agent who charges much less to sell my condo. After a terrible experience with that agent and selling my condo much lower than anticipated, I decided to ask Rimsha for her help when purchasing our new place. She was very professional. Answere...
