Arthur Scinta

Art’s expertise was critical in the successful sale of our house this past year - both from the perspective of properly setting the listing price and the timing of the listing. Art thoroughly evaluated our house’s characteristics relative to comparable sales as well as current competition and explained his analysis in very clear terms so that we were confident and comfortable that the listing price was both fair and realistic. Regarding the timing of the listing, we had flexibility, thus we delegated to Art the decision in terms of when to actually list the house so that we were in the best position to take advantage of the spring selling season. The end result was fantastic - we sold above list price, and in one weekend.

Art Scinta of Pelham NY is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with over the past 40 years. If there were other stars beyond excellent, I would also click them in all the above skill categories. He is a highly respected former Mayor of Pelham and long time Pelham resident. He knows well the whole community and the ever changing status of the housing market. Timing, presentation, and pricing are critical for sale of any house, and Art alerted us at the right moment this year and advised us expertly throughout the many stages of the house sale process from initial advertising to negotiating terms to final signing and to relocation afterwards . Selling and buying house are stressful times for both buyers and sellers as they struggle through negotiations and legal clauses. Art must also have a degree in psychology and family counseling, because when frustrations flared up, Art deftly proposed new original ideas and solutions that made it possible for us and the buyers to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles. After the sale, he then helped us find a wonderful transition rental house in the community. His very positive and caring personality, his quick mind, and professional expertise are a winning combination.
