“If buying or selling a home makes you anxious, emotional, irrational, or just slightly unhinged — congratulations, Camille is your realtor. She worked her ass off for us from day one and never pressured us, not even once. Camille listened to every need, every concern, and every panic spiral with patience, kindness, and humor. She held my hand, wiped my tears, and somehow dealt with my anxiety and occasional nasty attitude like an absolute professional (and possibly a saint). Camille never gives up, shows unbelievable grace under pressure, and is sharp as hell. She’s incredibly intelligent, fully up to date on everything happening in real estate, and communicates constantly — I always knew what was going on and what came next. I never felt alone, confused, or in the dark during this process. This woman shows up, fights for her clients, and genuinely cares. If you want someone who works harder than anyone else, keeps you sane, and gets the job DONE, Camille is the person you need.”

“I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Susan has been throughou the process of selling my sisters' house. I don't know the area. I live 426 miles away which meant I was very dependent on her and her recommendations. She know what she is doing and she goes above and beyond in helping her sellers. Susan fixed things, noted things, and made sure the house was immaculate. I depended on her judgement throughout the process. A great and timely sale and closing. The house had three offers in two days!”

“Dan is the type of real estate agent you want in your corner...he was always accessible, professional and kind. He went above and beyond the call of duty. He would almost always accommodate your schedule for showing the houses. He gave his honest opinion of the houses... he just wasn't looking for a sale. He wanted to make sure you were buying the right house and that you were going to be happy. Even after you put the down payment on the house he stayed around to help the lawyers where, in my experience, the real estate agent usually disappeared and left the rest to the lawyers, never to be seen again. Even after the closing he still made himself accessible if you had any questions. Dan takes his job seriously and it shows!!”

“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”
