Natalia was AMAZING. She always made sure to educate us as we went through the process, she was patient with us and never made us feel like we needed to make a decision in a rush basis. Since we didn’t know what exactly we were looking for we had so many questions and she would answer as best she could and if she didn’t know she would find out and get back to us. Natalia made sure to remind us to take it one step at a time and was always available when I would text or call her even when it was in the middle of the night. I truly recommend her services she is definitely the best!!

I have worked with Jose Morejon since 2000 when I bought my first home. I have since then bought and sold personal and investment properties with his help. Never pushy, always there with prompt service. His expertise, knowledge, dedication and true care for us and our interests is what keeps me working with him. I really appreciate that he listens and gives thoughtful and spot on advise. He is friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Jose Morejon.

Luisa G.

We put our trust in Bindu Sethi and it paid off! To sell and then buy a house at the same time is never an easy process (and especially challenging during a pandemic!).  We could manage this only because we had a trusted partner and counselor by our side in Ms. Sethi.

Nidhi S.

Thank you so much Yasmin! It was an absolute pleasure working with you!

RR

I’m happy with the job Silvana Perdomo did.  She helped me out a lot and she’s a really good person.  I would recommend her 100%!

Bindu Sethi is very knowledgeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy. A joy to work with!. She is the best!  She was honest and forthright. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and closing with the Title company. I recommend Bindu to anyone looking to do any Real Estate transaction. She was patient, kind, and always answered my questions!! Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Harsha & Chaitanya

My wife and I were first-time home buyers with very little knowledge. From start to finish Lian Adolphe was very patient, responsive to our needs, kind and had great knowledge and suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. She helped us find the right house in the right location and the price was right. We are very happy with our experience of our first time buying the house. If we were ever going to sell or buy again Lian would be the first person we would call.

Sei K.

Luis Cordero exceeded my expectations with his extraordinary ability to move rapidly without compromise. His many years of experience proved invaluable in making this process nearly effortless. Above all, he is committed to putting his customers first. Thank you Luis!

M. Cardona

Gaby Vasco was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. We looked at many houses before making a decision, and she was patient and guiding throughout. When we finally did decide to put an offer on a property, she dove in head first, and FAST. Always checking in and making sure we were in the loop- her communication was impeccable. If there was a question we had, within minutes there would be a response (most times an actual answer!) Her organizing was top notch, and she carried herself all the way through settlement with poise and professionalism. We would not hesitate for a second to use Gabby again in the future.

Dan E.

Lasantha Dahanaike was the best realtor I could have ever imagined to have had when it came to buying a house during an already stressful pandemic period. Lasantha always maintained extreme professionalism and made sure everything went smoothly for us. He put in countless extended hours to make this deal happen, and I cannot recommend him enough. Seriously one of the best home buying experiences ever, and that’s a testament to Lasantha’s expertise.

Hugo & Janini B.

Supportive environment, reasonable overhead cost, good education/technology!

Chen W.

We purchased a home in recently and this is the second time we have used Lasantha Dahanaike as our realtor. We are very happy to let you know how proud your company must be for providing such service. I have no words to say how appreciative we are for his wonderful service. He is very knowledgeable and was always available for any questions, concerns. It went to such length that we trusted him to be our power of attorney. From finding a property and until the end of the closing, the whole transaction went very smoothly with his support. We wish him and your company all the best! – Gayathri and Mevan W.

Gayathri W.

Linda Plummer was very helpful with me getting into my new place. I was cutting it close to the end of my previous lease and Linda got my paperwork through quickly and ensured that the apartment was up to her own personal quality standard. Any time I needed to reach her, she was readily available. I was definitely recommend her services.

De’Andria A.

Cristina helped us find the perfect home and made the purchase process seamless, and got us a great deal by negotiating on our behalf! I recommend Cristina Sousa 100% to anyone looking to buy, rent, or sell a home!
