I can’t recommend Johnny Avella enough! From start to finish, he did an amazing job guiding us through what can be a long and stressful home-buying process which was surely long for us!He was knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer questions, making sure we felt confident every step of the way.What really stood out was how genuine and easy he was to work with — by the end of the process, I didn’t just gain a home, I gained a new friend. If you’re looking for a great realtor in Thunder Bay who truly cares, Johnny is the one to call. Thank you again Johnny for getting us in our dream home!

Johnny is a fantastic realtor. He helped us find our dream home, and also seamlessly and quickly sold our first house. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out Johnny is knowledgeable, ethical, passionate, and incredibly responsive ( at all hours of the day and night- sorry Johnny, haha). I would recommend him over and over again. He really does go above and beyond.

I would highly recommend Johnny as your realtor. From start to finish he was there for me, night and day. Always able to help me throughout our first home buying and selling experience (which was very stressful). Very grateful for him. I wouldn't have been able to buy a house if it weren't for all his help and knowledge. Always so professional and not only a great realtor, but turned out to be a friend! Thank you Johnny for everything, from Kayla and Nathan😊

★★★★★
In October 2024, Johnny led us to buying our home. As first time buyers, Johnny took us under his wing and made sure to make sure that the house we got was up to par. He really listened to the needs and wants that we had and took into consideration our budget. I felt super comfortable and confident in Johnny and his opinions. If we ever decide to move and buy another house, without a doubt we will choose Johnny to be our realtor again. I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone looking for their home

Johnny was an amazing realtor and I highly recommend and would reach out to him again if we need another realtor. We just recently moved to Thunder Bay and he was able to help with understanding everything relating to the city and area. This is also our first home so he was extremely helpful in walking us through each step of the way and answering our THOUSANDS of questions. He always made sure we were updated from each party involved in the deal. He’s also very honest and flexible with timing so he’s all around amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
★★★★★
Johnny went above and beyond any realtor I've previously worked with to make the process easy and enjoyable. He made it his mission to find me and my boys a suitable home in the neighborhood I wanted and within my budget. Johnny was easy to get ahold of and quickly set up appointments that accommodated my busy schedule. He helped me understand the true value and cost of each home I was considering and helped me make a strategic and informed offer. He never made me feel pressured to make an offer outside of my comfort zone and took the time to walk me through the fine print of anything I signed. Even after my offer was accepted, he made sure I had access to the home and connected me with resources to ensure it was move-in ready on my move in date.I highly recommend Johnny if you want a dedicated, knowledgeable, readily available, and friendly realtor who goes out of his way to accommodate, protect and inform you throughout the process of buying a home.
★★★★★
Johnny is most nice and friendly agent I ever met. I am glad that he is my agent for buying a house that I really like it. And he uses his professional skills to help me win the bidding war. I highly recommend him if you need a agent who can help sell or buy a house.
