It is such a strenuous time selling a home after a parent has passed. John was empathetic and understood the difficulty we were facing as a family. He worked hard to minimize the stress level for me and my family. His knowledge of the real estate business and the market made for a quick sale at above asking price. You can't beat his attention to detail. We are so thankful.
From the first day met to closing we always felt we could rely on John's expertise. Buying a house is a transaction but finding a home is a journney and John guided us through the process and always had our back. We feel fortunate in having met and worked with John and Sarah and look forward to years of frienship with both. Thank you guys!!
John was able to suggest the right things to do to sell my house quickly and for a good price. It was on the market for only 48 hours, had 41 view, 21 bids and sold for $65,000 over asking. He was very professional and answered all my questions and phone calls promptly.
John is an exceptional realtor. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and very easy to talk to. He has many connections with contractors and other realtors that make him even more valuable as a realtor. I highly recommend him especially if you are buying/selling in the portage lakes area.
From the moment I started working with John, I couldn't have been in better hands. My girlfriend and I were first time home-buyers; there were a ton of things we just flat-out didn't know about the real estate market or judging a home. We researched a lot online beforehand, but until you actually start seeing houses, you're kind of just fumbling in ignorance. This lack of knowledge, coupled with a modest budget, could've meant that we wouldn't be taken seriously by whoever represented us. We might've just been an ancillary account to someone, or a "less important" client. Our experience with John and Sarah could not have been more different. They spent a lot of time getting to know us, what we liked and disliked, what we looked for in a house, and what our aesthetic preferences were. They recommended listings they thought might be good fits for us, and when we went to a house and knew early on that it wasn't right, they understood immediately and made us feel validated in that judgment, rather than pushing us to keep looking at it. They were flexible and receptive to all the texts and calls we sent their way, getting us in for showings the next day or even the same day if something good suddenly came on the market. Most of all, they made us feel like our house hunt mattered personally to them. They were right there with us when we got call after call that our offers had been rejected (despite going tens of thousands over asking). We were trying to buy a house in the aftermath of COVID, and John told us that in 27 years of doing real estate, he'd never a seen a market like this. Both John and Sarah were incredibly positive for the 9 months we spent shopping; they did our best to keep our spirits high, and to stop us from feeling discouraged. And when we finally did find the right house, no one could've been happier for us than they were. THIS is what a realtor is supposed to be, and if/when I move again, there's no one else I'd go to first.
Working with John was a real pleasure. He was extremely professional in his approach and gave me his full attention every step of the way. He had a professional photographer come in and take pictures inside and out of the house then was able to sell it in less than two days. I wanted to take an offer after the first day but he told me to wait and I would probably get a higher offer. He was right!! Two people bid it up and I ended up selling for $60,000 over what I thought was already a high asking price. I highly recommend John to everyone!!!
John is a top notch real estate agent and his support team is excellent to work with as well. Highly recommend.
John was a lifesaver for being a first time buyer in the housing market like it is currently! John and Sarah helped us to understand the process every step of the way. John knows all the ins and outs and we were prepared before the next step each and every time because he is so knowledgeable. Everything he told us to expect or be prepared for, he was right. So there were no surprises or letdowns. Even buying in an insane housing market wasn't too much of a challenge with his help. Our second offer was accepted at asking (unheard of right now) and within 1 month we were closed! I have told everyone I know to not give up or to be discouraged even though there is so much competition, I have recommended John and the team over and over because he makes the difference in a market like this. I am super grateful and could go on and on but his record and accolades speak for themselves. Just a word from a first time home owner, regular people with regular jobs and a family..he made it happen for us and I wouod send everyone to work with him!
After listing my house with John, not only did he have his sign up and pictures posted the next day he had a few showings and an offer within 5 days of listing my rental house. The previous Realtor had it listed for 3 months and no offers and only a few showings during that time and took them a week to just post pictures online. Also John always kept me posted of all activities and thru closing. I did have to lower my price quite a bit but I got it sold. I highly recommend John Scaglione to sell your house!
John has a vast knowledge of the market in this area. He know what will sell and won't and he won't steer you wrong. He and his staff are very professional all the way from beginning to end. I would recommend John for all of your realtor needs.
John and Sarah were great to work with. They are knowledgeable and professional. They made the selling process efficient and as easy as possible for me. I appreciate all they did to help me sell my home.
John found us our dream house in a market with very little inventory. He worked on everything for us even the little things. Very highly recommend!!
