It is disheartening to see Francesco degraded so much. He was a perfectionist and sold my former waterfront condo several years ago at record price in the building in terms of price and per square feet price. When I decided to sell my former residence waterfront condo that was rented this time, I did not hesitate to ask Francesco to help evaluate the situation. Out of my surprise, he advised to list the unit when it was still occupied. I signed him to sell my unit out of trust but the result is quite a disappointment: (1) On the commission fee, Francesco said it would be 5% total commission. I found out right before I decided to fire him that I had signed for 5.5%. This was a breach of trust. (2) After I signed the paper work and the property was listed, it became difficulty to reach Francesco. A lot of time I got “Can I call you later” or “In a meeting” when I called him. If I did not keep calling him the next few days, I may not hear from him at all. (3) It was a mess trying to sell with the unit occupied by my tenant. It was bewildering how Francesco made this kind of judgement to sell the unit before the tenant moved out. (4) One month before the tenant moved out, Francesco wanted to lower the asking price by $50K so that there were be “a lot of bidding”. I was confused. Shouldn’t we wait after the tenant moved out to make any decision? I still believed in Francesco magics and followed his advice. (5) Finally, Francesco schedule an open house 3 weeks before the tenant moved out. I came to meet a kitchen contractor Francesco brought in to discuss the renovation. I was startled to find out that the unit was out of shape. The floor and the ceiling were ruined by the tenant. I could not believe Francesco could list the property in this way. The contractor was to paint the apartment and has nothing to do with renovation. At this point, I lost faith in Francesco. He was not whom I assumed he should be. I demanded an unconditional withdraw. (6) Francesco and his manager temporary delisted the property and came back with an offer about 200 thousand dollars less than his original estimate of market values. He and his partners tried hard to convince me the low-ball offer was good enough. I told them they put their interest above mine and should not represent me anymore. (7) The tenant moved out and I was preparing for the renovation. Francesco called. The buyer with a low-ball offer wanted to see the apartment again. I asked if the buy could raise the offer to meet my expectation. He restated that offer was good enough. I was disgusted. I told Francesco that he was no longer my broker; I could sell that price by myself without paying broker fees; if he did not want to release the listing, I will wait out the contract period I signed with him; he was welcome back as a buyer’s agent when the property was relisted by someone else.

We can't thank David enough for his incredible support in helping our growing family find the perfect home! He helped us navigating a challenging situation where we were bidding on two properties on the same street. David provided thoughtful advice that helped us weigh our options, and he was always available to answer questions and guide us through every step. His calm, professional demeanor turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and exciting one. Thanks to David, we’re now in a home that suits our family perfectly.

We worked with Holly on team Francesco for several weeks to find a condo in Hoboken. Holly was a joy to work with. She is responsive and professional, and made the whole complicated process of finding and closing on a place so much easier and less stressful. I can't recommend her and Francesco enough. Thanks Holly!

I recently had the privilege of working with Sergio to secure my new apartment, and I am beyond impressed with his exceptional service and commitment. From our first conversation, I knew I was in great hands. He took the time to truly understand my needs, preferences, and budget. He didn’t just treat me like a client he treated me like a priority. Throughout the entire process, Sergio was incredibly responsive, always available to answer my calls, texts, and emails, and kept me updated on new listings that met my criteria. Even when I was feeling overwhelmed, he remained calm and reassured me that we’d find the perfect place and he was right! His willingness to go above and beyond is someone you want to work with. I’m so grateful for his hard work and dedication. Moving can be a stressful experience but he acted quick and was able to find me something I love. If you’re looking for a realtor, I wholeheartedly recommend Sergio and will absolutely work with him again in the future!

We’ve been on both sides of buying and selling real estate many times and wish we had found Holly sooner. Recently, we listed a home that was a part of our family for three generations. Our home was staged beautifully by her team and after a very successful open house, we accumulated MANY offers only to be under contract within a few days!!! We were thrilled with the amount of attention our precious property received! Her knowledge and thoroughness were unlike anything we previously experienced. Just a text, email, or phone call away Holly was attentive to our every need and made sure the entire transaction was a seamless, positive experience. Holly is outstanding and a true professional. We loved working with her and feel like we’ve known and trusted her for years!
