Thomas was such a pleasure to work with. I have worked with agents and the past and he superseded all of my expectations by far! Was very knowledgeable about the market and the area, priced property fairly, great negotiation skills. I would highly recommend.

We cannot say enough great things about Alex! He helped us sell our home while also helping us purchase our new home, and he made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel manageable, supported, and even enjoyable.

Before working with Alex, we had someone else come out who “specialized” in St. James, but their strategy for selling our home just didn’t make sense to us. When Alex came in, we immediately noticed the difference. He was knowledgeable, professional, realistic, and took the time to explain his approach. Ultimately, he sold our home for $51,000 over asking, which speaks for itself.

When it came to purchasing our new home, Alex was equally valuable. He gave us honest feedback on every house we looked at and pointed out pros and cons that we otherwise may not have noticed based on his experience. He never made us feel pressured and always helped us make informed decisions.

Beyond his expertise, Alex was simply a pleasure to work with. He made himself available, was incredibly responsive, and was genuinely fun to be around. He somehow managed to make a process that can be overwhelming actually enjoyable.

Alex guided us through the entire process from start to finish and made us feel supported every step of the way. He is truly an expert in the area, but based on our experience, we would consider him an asset to anyone buying or selling in any neighborhood.

We highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest, hardworking, and genuinely enjoyable realtor to work with!

I am genuinely thankful that I chose Fran Saer and Alex Goldenberg to represent my interests in the sale of my home in Setauket. Their vast knowledge of the housing market and trends, marketing skills and resources for all aspects of preparing a home for sale, including contractors, landscapers, donation centers and moving and car transport connections, is priceless.

It was evident from the start, that their exceptional insight, advice and communication responsiveness were unparalleled throughout the entire very successful sale process.

Fran and Alex provided unprecedented personal service with professionalism and integrity which are hallmarks of this well established and trusted team. I would recommend the Saer Goldenberg Team without reservation.

We had an excellent experience with Alex (and Fran) from start to finish. Before listing, Alex gave us thoughtful, practical advice on which improvements would make the biggest impact while balancing cost and ROI. When it came time to stage, they even brought in decor to zhuzh up the house and make it show beautifully.

Alex was incredibly responsive, managed the offer process expertly and got us above asking within a week. They also went above and beyond through closing; when the buyer raised an issue with the hot water, Alex personally went to the house, resolved it and sent a video confirming everything was working, avoiding the need for funds to be held in escrow.

Alex was professional, proactive and genuinely invested in getting us the best possible outcome. We highly recommend Alex and Fran!

Fran and Alex were a pleasure to work with. Their expertise in the sales market and knowledge of the surrounding area made the process seamless. They gave helpful advise on decluttering and staging our home for a sale beyond our expectations. They were always responsive and sensitive to our concerns. We would highly recommend them!
