“Exceptional professional and person. Meldina was so kind and supportive through the entire process of buying my first commercial purchase.”
“Paula helped us every step of the way when we purchased our first home. I would recommend her to everyone. She always made time to answer our questions and explain the process. She's simply the best!”
“My Wife and I were first time homebuyers in a very difficult market. Renee guided us through the process and answered any and all questions we had. We're extremely pleased with the end result and would happily work with her again in the future.”
“Steve is amazing! This sale was not easy, the contracted buyers were difficult but Steve negotiated for us, put us first, advocated for us, and he always presented all information. He is an agent who cares deeply about his clients and he is always working for the client not his wallet. I would refer and recommend Steve to anyone! He's absolutely amazing!”
“Hi John, I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your help in finalizing the deal. Your professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate your prompt responses, guidance, and the effort you put in to ensure everything went seamlessly. It was a pleasure working with you, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a great real estate agent. Thanks again for all your hard work! Best, Raji”
“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
“Tina Grzeca did a phenomenal job helping us remotely house hunt. She organized both virtual showings and quickly got physical showings scheduled when we were able to be in town. She was also exceptionally detail oriented, pointing out important considerations in the houses we toured and making sure they would meet our needs. We would highly recommend Tina Grzeca for both local and remote people looking for their next housing journey.”
“very professionel very nice helpfull available juste perfect”
“I highly recommend William for Buying or Selling a home. He has helped many members of our family and is trusted like a friend.”
“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
“Anthony understood us, our personalities and interests. We were able to relate to him in a number of ways and that made us comfortable working with him. He was a compassionate person, and it meant a lot to him to find places that served us, which also meant a lot to us. We gave him some of our requirements for a home, and he would continue to refine his search accordingly. He did not discriminate homes based on their pricing. When we wanted to check out a much more inexpensive house, he worked hard to get us a showing. It seemed like he cared more about finding us a place we would be happy than the amount of his commission. He was willing to do a lot of traveling, and even worked late hours for us. I would never ask someone to work late or early, but he took it upon himself to do so several times, which we highly appreciate. Anthony found us a great inspector, and did a lot of mediation for us that we so desperately needed. He was honest when he wasn't able to help with certain things that were outside of his job description, like advising us financially. However he was able to find an attorney and a lender that we ended up really liking, who also cared about us and were available any time we needed them. Anthony feels like a friend, and we will be sure to hire him if and when we move again.”
“Pat Smarto did every aspect of the sale of my property in an outstanding way that left me assured that I chose the right agent over others I had considered. Pat is a role model to all real estate agents. Through my observation and research I found that Pat is greatly involved in her community which also contributes to her standing in it and her profession. All of these attributes gave me a feeling of trust in Pat that you will realize also. My recommendation of Pat Smarto is without reservation!”
“I found a great agent! We were able to sell the property within three days after it was listed. It was a pleasure working with Diana Matichyn and her team. I would highly recommend her.”
“My agent Sergio was incredible and a great help to me through this process. I would recommend him to anyone!!!”
“Linda DeMarco did a great job she’s kind and helpful”
“Larry was more than a Real Estate Agent. He was more like a Family Friend. I am truly blessed and grateful to have worked with him. My home is everything I imagined it would be.”
“I was truly happy that I was able to work with Caitlin and looking forward to working with her in the future. I trust her very much and know that she has the best interest at heart for her clients. When selling or purchasing a home it can be a bit emotional at times and Caitlin was very understanding. Her work ethic is simply impeccable. Thank you again!”
“Christine helped us find and purchase our dream home. She advocated for us from beginning to end. Knowing someone had our back made the experience really pleasant for us.”
“always there when we had questions and we had lots”
“Kylie was always there for us, even if it was past office hours. She definitely went above and beyond to help us find our home. We were extremely satisfied with the customer service she has showed to us. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to help us through our home finding. We would definitely recommend Kylie to our friends, family, and any one in search of a home! Thank you for all the help, we appreciate it!”
