I purchased a home with Sheila Dunphy-Pallotta, who acted as a dual agent-she was also the seller’s agent-from over 3,000 miles away. I know: dual agent, over 3,000 miles away meaning I won’t tour the home in person nor will I be there for final walk through. There’s a few opportunities for misunderstandings, miscommunications, mishaps. I had just completed three real estate transactions with two agents here in Hawai’i , none of which went smoothly. We had miscommunications, misunderstandings and mishaps-few of which went in my favor-so dealing with another real estate transaction from so far away carried much stress and apprehension. I’ve also had numerous real estate transactions in the past, and the one with Sheila Dunphy-Pallotta was simply the best. Looking at a dual agent role from the realtor’s prospective, it can’t be easy trying to be fair and honest with both sides while not giving one other side more information than they need, but Sheila accomplished that and more. I am happy with my new home and while I haven’t personally seen it yet, family members, friends, have seen it and know it’s perfect for me as well as being all it was presented to be. Most real estate transactions are stressful, but the level of stress needn’t be crippling nor affect the final result. This transaction was as smooth as it could possibly be.

We chose Sheila for 2 reasons; one she had been our Buyer's Agent in the past and two for her in depth knowledge of the local market and people skills and she certainly ticked every box in the tricky world of selling a home. Sheila was professional and courteous helping us navigate the process with good humor and encouragement and without ever pressuring us. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful time but in Sheila (and the Dunphy Real Estate team's) hands the experience is straightforward, guiding and comprehensive. A five star journey, thank you so much Sheila!

We hired Sheila to help sell the family home with acreage. I live out of state, which complicated the process - especially during the pandemic. But Sheila did a fantastic job marketing the property and coordinating the many pieces of the process! We needed lots of “boots on the ground” help, and she worked with a local friend of ours and her extensive network of service providers to get the house ready to list. She also provided excellent promotional materials and valuable assistance with setting the asking price. Professional, personable and patient, she explained things clearly and listened well to our requirements and needs. Very communicative - responded quickly though email, text and phone, often within minutes. The closing was accomplished remotely – she communicated with buyer’s agent and title agency to make the process easy. I highly recommend Sheila Dunphy-Pallotta!

Shiela knows the market in the yellow spring area and did an outstanding job helping us sell our 25 acre farm and home! Patient, professional, competent!

Sheila is just phenomenal!!! We were very impressed with her market analysis and the data she provided to support the listing price and expected sales price compared to other agents we considered. As an agent with deep roots to the community, her local knowledge is second to none. We were amazed at the level of interest she generated in our house and the fact that she found the perfect buyer in a week. Her honest advice through the process was appreciated and most importantly, she made the process fun! I would highly recommend Sheila to anyone with housing needs in the Yellow Springs area.

Sheila took us to see many houses and was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly when looking for a new house. She gave us honest advice and helped objectively facilitate the sale between the owners and us even though she was both the seller and buyer of the property.
