Meet DeClute Real Estate

Rick and Rochelle DeClute are the brother-and-sister team behind DeClute Real Estate. Years ago, they started the brokerage with a single purpose in mind: to consistently deliver outstanding outcomes to all clients, whether buying or selling, and regardless of the market or outside circumstances. 

Their vision was an independent, boutique service based on treating everyone like family. Today, the entire team is committed to being the go-to solution for all challenges. 

For four generations, the DeClute family has lived in and supported this community. We are proud sponsors of local events such as Light Up the Beach and Corbin’s Christmas Market, and we have a special commitment to the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation. Since we all have a deep connection to the East End in Toronto, this is where we specialize.

A You First, Educational Approach Guiding All Decisions

DeClute Real Estate is always here to support you throughout every step in the home buying process. Even more importantly, our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best decisions for yourself. 

Our system starts with an in-depth assessment of what you want and need in a home. We even have an in-house mortgage specialist for all of your financing questions! 

Once you’ve determined a realistic budget range, we respect it and work within it. We will also help you consider all of the details, many of which you might not even have thought of but could impact your results. 

Customizing Your Entire Experience

Everyone’s home buying journey is a little different, with unique challenges and questions. For example, what if a house looks right, feels right, is in the ideal location, and is everything you ever dreamed of, but something just feels off?

Is it just nerves, or are you sensing a real red flag that should have you on high alert? Our team members will sit down with you and address all of your concerns. 

The opposite can also happen. A house could just need to be cleaned and painted to be perfect, and our team members will be sure you fully understand the potential before moving on. Whatever happens, you won’t have to make any decisions without the critical information you need to make your purchase a success. 

  • If you’re the type of person who thrives on stats and data, we’ll cover the latest market conditions so you know what the numbers mean and how to use them to your advantage. 
  • If you just want to make the best choice with as little disruption as possible, we are here to advocate on your behalf and work in the background until we identify the best listing that might be your new home. 
  • If you’re a first-time buyer who wants to enter the market with a home you love top to bottom that is also an intelligent financial investment, we are here for you every step of the way. 

Our extended network of home inspectors and other experts can also work with you to ensure a property is suitable and in premium condition before you commit. At all times, you’ll be armed with everything you need to know and will never feel rushed or pressured. With constant guidance, you can overcome any obstacles and move forward with confidence.

Specialized Expertise in Toronto’s East End

Location is one of the biggest and most important decisions of all when searching for your new home! There are so many things about a house that you can change. 

You could paint all of the walls in a new colour or even construct a whole new addition. As your budget grows, so do the possibilities; however, your neighbourhood is the one thing you can’t change. 

Fortunately, our team lives, works, and thinks about Toronto’s East End neighbourhoods, all day, every day, including on holidays! You could be looking for a well-kept century home five minutes away from one of Toronto’s iconic beaches. 

Alternatively, a trendy condo closer to Queen Street, steps away from every amenity might be your perfect fit. Whatever your preferences may be, you can count on us to deliver the information you need right when you need it.

A Realtor® Who Cares: It Really Is Different

An excellent track record and a high level of expertise should be among your highest priorities when searching for a Realtor® to represent you. However, working with a professional with strict ethics and who genuinely cares about your results is equally important. 

Buying a house means change is on the way. As exciting as it may be, there can also be some tense moments, and that’s when you need the guidance and support of your real estate agent the most. Fast, knowledgeable responses to all of your messages and phone calls are what make your purchase successful and stress-free. 

Whatever happens, DeClute Real Estate is here for you.

  • Did you find the perfect house and are eager to seize the opportunity but also don’t want to shortcut due diligence or negotiations? We will act quickly to ensure you never miss an opportunity. 
  • Have you made an offer but the seller is pushing back and you are on the fence about whether or not to counteroffer? That’s not a decision you have to make alone. We will show up with the facts, backed by real market data so you can feel confident about what to do next. 
  • Do you have very specific preferences on what you want and need in a home but everything you’ve found so far has come up short? Our expanded network can often uncover listings you might not otherwise have access to. 

When you work with our team, you can depend on a high level of service and support that goes well beyond your closing date. Since we’re a staple in the community, we can also help you get settled and feel right at home immediately. 

DeClute Real Estate helps every single client as if they were about to move into the house right next door. Since we live here and work here, anything is possible!
