Lori Schindler Realty was recommended to me by a family member. It's a family-run operation with…read moreseveral decades of realty experience. Working with Lori Schindler Realty to purchase my first home was amazing. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and easygoing. Unlike many realtors I've encountered, no one at Lori Schindler Realty is trying to push his or her own agenda. They are there to help and support you every step of the way. I worked almost exclusively with Jim McClenaghan, who was very responsive to both emails and phone calls and was very flexible in terms of scheduling (I work in a different state so had to schedule most house-hunting trips on the weekend or over holidays). He was very engaged in the whole process and would organize everything. In each house, he would point out potential problems and items that would have to be looked into. As can be expected in any home purchase, there were several bumps along the way and Jim helped me work through every one of them. Without him, I would not be a homeowner today! I would highly recommend using Lori Schindler Realty for buying a home in the NY Capital District area.

Their broker Natyssa Tara's didn't just land us a house. She has steadily and surely worked hard to…read morefind my family a real home. April 2022 through September 2022 was a real stumper for the housing market with not many houses in our price range. She found within our price range and within our needs.She explained things to look for in each house, and in each area.She didn't just point out positives to me to try and land a deal. She gave me valuable advice with each possibility. With every house that didn't meet requirements for our loan, she tirelessly worked to make sure I had opportunity. If I found a house on my own, she was game to do the research and provide an opportunity to tour it.She walked me through every step, and answered back quickly when I would reach out.It was hard finding a house to match our very specific needs in this market. We lived in a rent with family situation that was increasingly stressful and were financially able to get out from under rent.She worked incredibly hard to get tasks taken care of quickly as we were on a countdown to move.When I found people mortgage companies or insurance agents that weren't helpful, she either expedited the situation for me, or helped me find new services. When potential sellers took their sweet time to get back to us about showings or even questions, she hustled to get us answers and find times that worked for us all. She worked with my schedule on that note. Very empathetic and considerate. When we found our final home, she worked with the sellers agent to get comps or fixes on potential issues. When things had to get done, she just did it.She made sure to be there for every step for me. She came to see it through with the inspection and closing.She utilized technology to get the homeowner process quickly finished. Helping us e-sign things and offering up different apps or websites really saved time.She got us into our lovely community before Halloween, which I had mentioned we were excited to celebrate this year.She is a well known part of the real estate community. She has the resources and know how.An organized, empathetic, and more effective agent I couldn't begin to find.I will 100% be recommending her services to anyone I could think of.-Stephanie A.

I couldn't get up to see the property I was wanting to buy so she was nice enough to FaceTime me to show me the property. Also I would like to add how she had treated me as if I was buying a $100,000 property always was willing to take phone calls and if busy always called back in a time manner. Very pleased with her service

Tired of "average" services? I am! Looking for the best Realtor team that "listens" to what is…read moreimportant to their client --and makes you feel like your needs are first priority? I was lucky enough to have found Bobby, Colleen and the Marchesiello team. As housing is being volatile and is in a transition phase from a buyers market to sellers market with interest rates at its peak in over 2 decades, I interviewed multiple realtors. The Marschesiello team was prompt with their responses, follow up, market data, service, their process, recommendations and last but not least, understanding what was important to me. I went against their recommendation as I was willing to take a risk of not having an offer on the home within their allotted number of days based on their historical experience. If I had listened, I probably would have sold the home faster but I wasn't sure at that time and was testing the market. I am not sure how you can have a better agent than Bobby and their entire team. If we ever need to sell/buy a home, we know exactly who to call when the time comes =). Note they have a separate realtor if you are buying vs. selling. I have used other agents in the past and the Marschesiello team provided the best experience and will not look anywhere else for my future realtor needs! Thank you and keep up the good work and continue to provide an amazing service! The most complicated thing in the process was spelling Marschesiello as I was typing this review.
