Lance & Brenda Van der Kolk are top-selling Realtors in Toronto. They are proud parents of two brilliant daughters, active members of their community, and they LOVE every aspect of Real Estate! Their commitment, experience & expertise are reflected in the yearly real estate awards they receive, but their source of pride comes from Happy Clients.
“There's no better feeling than helping our clients find the perfect home or selling their current one well beyond their expectations."
About Lance
Lance has the energy of that bunny on those TV commercials…boundless. His clients value & depend on his up to date understanding of market conditions, exceptional negotiating skills & honest, down to earth advice & guidance. Whether it’s your first property or your hundredth, his friendly but tough negotiating style combined with his exceptional people skills have been proven time and again in closing Real Estate deals for his clients.
Born in the Gatineau but raised in Toronto, Lance is a Toronto boy through and through. He’s passionate about this city and it’s diverse & unique neighbourhoods & people. A graduate of Victoria College at the University of Toronto, Lance worked in the fast paced TV Commercial Production industry for many years as a Producer & Production Manager, managing multiple projects, locations & crews at the same time. He takes constructive multitasking to the next level! He’s solution driven, whether it’s helping his clients secure "the deal" or find mortgage brokers, lawyers, contractors, home inspectors & beyond. When not selling Real Estate Lance is either found in the kitchen preparing gourmet meals for friends & family, playing tennis or squash, watching sports, travelling or, in good weather, out on the lake sailing.
About Brenda
Brenda is a plain spoken people person. No BS, no empty promises. Small Town values & ethics wrapped in a Big City Girl! Whether it’s finding & negotiating your dream home, guidance in preparing your current home for market or for securing the best possible price for it, she’s detail & design oriented. She’s an industry leader & an invaluable asset when prepping houses for market or discussing the pros & cons of future renovations with sellers & buyers alike.
Originally from Montreal, she’s embraced her adopted city...Toronto. After traveling around the world exploring for several years, she settled in Toronto working for one of Toronto’s top Art Directors. She helped prep/stage locations for TV Commercials for many years, before taking some time off to raise her two daughters. Kayla, the youngest, is finishing up University, and Tara is a mobile RMT in Toronto (shameless plug but she’s amazing…book an appointment with her). Brenda loves everything “houses”, which led her to get her Real Estate License over a decade ago. It marries all her passions…people, design, houses & condos. On her off time she eats the gourmet food Lance cooks, enjoys her family & friends, travels & sails (well, serves cocktails & snacks….she leaves the captaining to Lance!)
