Working with Julie was an absolute pleasure … it was a truly game-changing experience. Julie stands out from the crowd. She brought a wealth of knowledge and amazing marketing skills to the table, all while remaining ethical, professional, and zero-pressure. She is so personable and was completely accessible from start to finish. I felt supported every step of the way.
I sold my mother's house this past January. I have never sold a house before. Colleen was very good with keeping me posted every step of the process. She is very professional and down to Earth as well. She did everything that she could when I needed to get the trim painted, including finding me a painter in November. I have referred her to my family and friends. She is a genuine and honest person. Rick Paulsen
When looking for my first home, I had tried out several agents and was very disappointment with their level of service. As a result, I opted to go through the process of buying a home without an agent. I approached Pamela about viewing a property that she had listed. She was very receptive in letting me see the property without an agent. Upon meeting her, I immediately recognized that she was incredibly professional and competent. I ultimately made an offer on the property which was accepted. Although, she represented the sellers, throughout the purchase process, she was generous in sharing her knowledge and expertise gained from her many years as an agent on Staten Island. She has a great personality, is incredibly organized and has very good people skills. I strongly recommend Pamela to anyone seeking a highly skilled and trustworthy agent.
Working with Karyne was an absolute 10/10 experience! Her in-depth market knowledge was obvious from day one, helping us make smart, confident, and successful decisions. Her genuine kindness, stellar professionalism, and deep experience made us feel 100% comfortable throughout our entire home sale. Whenever an unexpected issue popped up, she proved to be a quick problem solver who kept the process moving smoothly without hesitation or stress. On top of that, she was extremely responsive—always just a text or call away, no matter the time. If you want a seamless, highly professional real estate experience, I cannot recommend Karyne enough!
Pamela was amazing to work with and a total rock star through the whole process of selling our house. I cannot thank her enough for her solid reliability, communication and guidance.
Danny was an excellent real estate agent. He was on call to answer any questions or concerns at any time of day. With his knowledge, connections and commitment to the sale of my co-op, he was able to make this process as smooth and stress free as possible!
If you don’t particularly like or trust real estate agents, it’s probably because you haven’t met Joe Jannace. Selling your home and finding a new one is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. You want someone by your side who is honest, experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping you make the right move. Joe Jannace has those qualities in spades. He makes you feel like you’re his only client—always available when you need him, always honest and straightforward, and never afraid to tell you what you need to hear. Joe’s goal isn’t simply to close a deal; it’s to make sure you end up in the best possible situation. He’s the kind of person you want in your corner when it matters most. 5 out of 5-- Highly recommend!
Paul is great- very responsive and gets the job done. Helped answer many questions and get through a frustrating closing process.
Karyne was great to work with. Her communication was fantastic and she was super professional in handling any normal hurdles that happen in transactions. I highly recommend Karyne and will certainly use her on additional properties.
She was completely calm and professional while negotiating the purchase agreement gaining me a significant amount more than the asking price.
