Maria did an outstanding job, especially as a new real estate agent. As first-time homebuyers, there were many aspects of the appraisal, negotiating and closing process that we needed help understanding. Maria was always quick to get us the answers we needed! The housing market in our area in 2022 was difficult for buyers, but despite some initial unsuccessful offers, Maria stuck with us and stayed positive, and just when we thought we’d run out of good options in our area, Maria found us our dr… Read more
It was a pleasure working with Alex on the sale of my mom’s home. The website he put on line was very professional. He posted the house on a Thursday, had 11 showing over the weekend, received 3 offers on Sunday and under contract on Monday. The final offer was above asking price. Alex is very professional, communicates very well and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend Alex.

Nirisa is a top-notch agent. I would recommend her to anyone buying a house in the Capital Region. She is very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the market and buying process and has great communication skills. We were repeatedly challenged by issues caused by the seller’s agent and seller’s attorney, but Nirisa and I made a great team to overcome the numerous obstacles we faced. She never gave up and I am extremely happy with the outcome! Great house and happy customer! ??

She hooked us up with a local mortgage company that has experience with working with VA loans that made the home buying process so smooth. Dina is very knowledgeab… Read more
Kathy is a fantastic real estate agent and human, over and over. I like to be on top of my stuff and when I see something that I want – I get it. Kathy helped me do just that with my new two-family home. She was recommended by Alex from Monticello and I am glad I got her. On top of the already stressful and bureaucratic dealings of a traditional purchase, there were some special circumstances with my home due to its nature that needed extra attention and deliberation. Kathy was there the… Read more
