Median list prices in Civic Center are closer to $850,000 and have eased more than 8% month over month, even as the average sale-to-list ratio is just above 1.00, at about 1.009.

“Lolli went above and beyond my expectations. I felt like I was dealing with a close personal friend. Her expertise was invaluable and her communication was incredible and I never had to question the process, timelines or what to expect. Even after moving in she has been keeping in constant touch to make sure all my expectations are being met and to help in any way possible. Run don't walk to have Lolli help you find your dream home like she helped me!!”
“Angelina Rantissi was very professional and knowledgeable. She guided me through the whole process seamlesly. She said at the very beginning that she was available at any time and not to hesitate to call. This was very important to me, as I live in Maryland and the 3 hour time difference could have been problematic. She helped me find handymen and movers. I highly recommend her. Thank you Angelina !”
“Denise Montalvo was very understanding throughout the entire process. She was very prompt to answer any e-mails and phone calls, no matter how trivial. I was looking for some rather specific criteria that would be hard to check all the boxes. No house is perfect, but her guidance and understanding were immeasurably appreciated during the process. She is not a 'pushy' realtor and I felt no pressure to make an offer on a house that I was not comfortable with. Denise is well regarded by her peers and this made the 'negotiating' period productive. I will always appreciate her easy going manner and no pressure approach to buying a home.”
“She has patience and helped me navigate the new electronic world of real estate.”
“Through Agent Pronto I was connected with an agent, Michael Pellegrini, who worked with us to buy a vacation property. I was pleased that the whole process was done in a professional manner.”
“Agent Pronto put us in touch with two knowledgeable, local agents. The agent we worked with was amazing, quickly honed in on what we were looking for, found us an ideal house, and guided us through the purchase process. Two months after first speaking we closed on the perfect place.”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
“Agent Pronto got me to an agent quickly and the agent was great! My house sold quickly and had no problems whatsoever!”
“We could not have asked for a better realtor to sell our home. Jennifer was amazing!”
