Carlos and Christina Clavero sold our home in Oakville, March 2019. Our family recommends them wholeheartedly and without equivocation
Our team’s dedication never waned through what many describe as one of the toughest real estate climates in recent memory. Our team never pressured us and continued to sponsor, advertise and provide open houses with kindness, enthusiasm and unparalleled professionalism. They always reminded us that while they were our real estate team, we were part of the team, too.
In summary: Respectful, generous, strategic, hard-working real estate experts whose knowledge of the marketplace is without equal.

My husband and I just sold and purchased our new home for the SECOND time with Carlos and Christina and couldn’t be happier. They are easy to work with, personable, offer a ton of great advice and expertise. They really know their industry and how things work. It’s such a big and important transaction in our lives and I was happy we put our trust in them. Our property photos looked amazing and we got what we wanted from a price perspective. We also liked that their timing is flexible and they work with your schedule. My parents also used their services and were happy as well. Overall, I highly recommend Carlos and Christina to all my friends and family. Thank you!!

Our team Carlos & Christina brought a top notch breadth of skills in marketing, valuation, staging, negotiation and even renovations that were needed more than ever as we faced selling our condo in the height of the COVID pandemic. They were professional, smart and calm from beginning to end. From their first interview we knew they were the right agents with their quick and thorough preparation and a keen sense of value. It was a pleasure working with Carlos and his team”.

I met Christina Clavero at one of her showings and I wasn’t working with an agent, so we ended up working together. Of all the agents I’ve ever worked with, she’s by far been the hardest working and most honest. She’s not pushy and she really ensured that I got what I wanted and what I was looking for. She was constantly in touch with me giving me updates and feedbacks, getting in to see houses as soon as they got on the market and then some. In fact, the home I bought wasn’t even on the market yet, but due to her hard work and connections, she found me the perfect home. I so appreciate Christina’s calm and honest nature along with her dedication to helping me! Thanks so much, Christina!

When we started selling our house with our previous agent, this was our first time and we did not know where to start and how to attract customers. We did not receive the right advice and so we stood still on the market for about two months with no changes whatsoever. People came, they looked at the house – yet no one bought it. Everything changed the moment you arrived. You helped us identify the right price for our home right off the bat, you brought a wonderful staging specialist and a great designer for home modernization. After following your advice, we transformed our home. And what a miracle – after just a week of standing on the market in its new quality, it was sold! Our buyers fell in love with it from first sight! And for us, this is undoubtedly your achievement!
The next stage for us was the purchase of a new home. You both were very attentive to our wishes, you analyzed our reaction to the houses you’ve shown. After just a couple days of work you have shown us the home of our dreams! Moreover, you lead the negotiations with absolute professionalism.
Yet, those are not the main things. The processes of buying and selling are always a stress. I cannot imagine more supportive people than the way you both were for us during this period of time. When any problem, any obstacle came – you were always near us with great advice and support.
We sincerely thank you. We thank you so very much. We are very happy that we met you. And we will always recommend you to our friends and acquaintances.
Alla & Valery
Choosing Carlos and Christina was hands down the best decision we made for the sale and purchase of our homes. Their customer service, quality of marketing material and knowledge of the industry cannot be beat! Our agents, Carlos and Christina Clavero, were an amazing team and made the process as stress free as possible. I can’t recommend them enough!

I would definitely recommend Christina and Carlos Team! Christina was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent. She never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. The marketing they provided for selling our home was top notch. I would highly recommend her and the Invidiata Team over any other, as you will work with a true professional that provides great service with knowledge of the market. I know from experience as Christina was able to sell our home in less then one week.

David – Thank you so much for going the extra mile with a difficult and at times hostile transaction with respect to the sale of my matrimonial home. This was a competitive process whereby you along with three other realtors had to submit a proposal to list the home. The Arbitrator was most impressed with your submission and therefore gave you the listing. This was completely at his discretion.
During the process, you were always transparent and communicative and guided us through the sale in what I consider to be a challenging market.
Many times during this months-long process have my lawyers mentioned to me how adept you were at de-escalating a difficult situation. This is an incredibly valuable skill. Clients sometimes have unreasonable demands and making them happy while still following policy and maintaining your professionalism can be more than a little challenging.
I appreciate the effort that you make to maintain a positive attitude even when faced with a challenging situation. You have always been very personable, knowledgeable and responsive. Furthermore, you have greatly assisted my business partner and myself in the leasing of our five condominium units in Oakville. Due to your great marketing, we were able to get all five units leased, at full ask, within a very short period of time.
Your professionalism again was on display in relation to a difficult tenant we had within the first few months. You again handled it with grace and you were able to re-lease our unit within a week of it being put back on the market! We are both very thankful for all of your assistance with these five transactions. As you know, I would have no trouble recommending you to any friend or colleague. I found you to be exceptional in difficult situations. This is the true measure of a professional.
Please keep up the good work!

My wife and I have used David for two moves so far and we could not have been happier with how everything went. A great guy and a true professional.

Excellent communications and professional handling of negotiations. We highly recommend David Bakowsky and The CB Group to sell your next home.

After being a long-time renter, I figured it was time to buy my first home and I’m glad I was referred to Lejla. This was a big change for me, and Lejla made me feel reassured having an answer for every question or concern I had. She was able to work around my schedule and even book last minute showings after sending her homes I was interested in. Every drive out to properties was a great way to get to know each other, she is very personable. If you want a friend in your realtor, you will not be disappointed working with Lejla.

After we sold our first home, we worked with Lejla to find our next family home. We appreciate her dedication to us and making sure the home was the right fit for us. She was very knowledgeable about the Oakville market and even recommended which additions and renovations we would need to update our new home.
