He has represented us for both types of transactions as well as temporary housing and we have been extremely satisfied with his level of knowledge, service, and professionalism. We highly recommend Jay for anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent. Real estate transactions involve so many moving parts and Jay keeps track of everything seamlessly and makes sure his clients are always informed as to progress that is being made and what the next steps are.

We cannot say enough good things about working with Jay Contessa and have had complete confidence in him representing us for our real estate undertakings.

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Michael Manzino! He was absolutely wonderful! I was a first-time home buyer with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. I had no idea what I was doing or where to even begin, but Michael was always kind and patient and made the process as smooth as possible. He is honest and hands-on (he even went into creepy attics) and he really helped to take the pressure off of me. He explained everything to me in a way that I could understand and was always there for my late night texts and early morning emails and endless questions. He worked as hard as I did to find me the perfect home! Michael went above and beyond and I’m so grateful that he was my realtor and that I had the opportunity to work with someone as great as him! I can honestly say my expectations were surpassed and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone buying a home.

Taci is an incredible buyer’s agent. Very knowledgeable about the local markets and extraordinarily responsive to her clientele, Taci held our hands through the purchasing process from start to finish. She helped us identify a micro-market to focus on and called on her full Rolodex of servuce providers to address every question and concern we raised. I recommend Taci to anyone looking for tailored support.

Working with Ken Viele has been an absolute pleasure. Ken helped us purchase our first home in 2012. He was patient and listened to our needs as we searched for our home. When we decided to sell the home in January of 2025, Ken was our first call. He met with us to discuss our home and go over the process of selling our house. He sat with us and outlined his strategy for selling in the current market and recommended several things around the house that we could update if we chose to, but he didn’t pressure us to make changes. I always felt like we were part of a decision making team and that any of our concerns were always addressed. Ken has a great team, including a fantastic photographer who was able to showcase our home to potential buyers in his listing. Ken hosted a wonderful open house and his professionalism and preparedness was echoed throughout the event. It was well attended and ultimately led to the sale of our house. His knowledge of the market helped us price accurately and sell quickly. We have used Ken as a buyer and seller agent and cannot say enough wonderful things about him and his team.

Life got complicated right after my wife and I initiated a search for a different home several years ago with Cheri. Through this process life decided to make things a little more challenging and it required some knowledge and resources that Cheri readily shared while the search for the new home was continuing being delayed. She continues to help with other issues and question post closing. This process was made easy because of Cheri’s diligence. Cheri was patient with my search because I explored all kinds of option when the occasion finally arrived to make a move. She tolerated my endless stories about “what it” was and “what it” should using it all to interpret what it means in find the right new house in a fast paced market. She worked really well collaborating with other agents and attorneys through a couple of unusual circumstances. She continues to help with other issues post closing.
