Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. The Joseph Salemi Real Estate Professional stood out as the best NY Metro has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings.
We spoke with Joseph and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes he sells, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Joe made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having a pro come and give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. He even took the garbage out for my 9 month pregnant wife. A true American.
When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The second buyer that saw the property put in an offer 12 hours after the listing was placed!!
Our house went under contract 4 days after we put it on the market at $15,000 above asking price! We accepted and Joseph walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.
I've recommended Joseph Salemi to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.
