My first long-distance rental property was truly in good hands because of Eddie. We've had a great…read moreexperience working with him, and we originally found him through Yelp recommendations - now I understand why he's so highly rated. Eddie has built his business on a strong reputation, and after working with him for the past few years, I've seen firsthand why. He is trustworthy, respectful, and genuinely cares about both the property and the tenants. His communication is excellent and he is always responsive, which is especially important for me as a long-distance investor. I'm grateful to have him as my property manager and have never regretted the decision. His company also handles construction and helps find good investment properties, which adds even more value. I highly recommend Eddie and his services. He's not only a great property manager but also a great person - and a dedicated father as well.

Not exactly what I expected. Having limited experience I was expecting guidance and not to be…read moreexcluded from important paperwork. Selling a home from a death was difficult adding Covid made it much worse. What really added the final touch of dissatisfaction was zero representation at the closing, absolutely nobody showed up from Hanna for the close. Clearly only the money mattered, send the check, bye is what it felt like. On the good side they took excellent photos and marketed the house on many fronts. Many people came to view the home, then it dropped off due to covid and we the customer started showing the house as we were told cOvid restrictions prevented them from showing it. Anyway it sold and it's over and I learned a lot.

In response to Lorenzo's reply:…read more Yes, you are correct, Lorenzo. My expectation as a buyer was that I was getting an "A Team" of support and guidance. Being that we were not from around here, we were going off of your professional recommendations. My mistake. Now I know "A Team" in the capital region is the equivalent to "C Team" in the market I am coming from. Additionally, I really appreciate hearing from your broker, having a long conversation about how you all can make it up to us, to never hear a word back. Wonderful customer service!

I understood last year that the market upstate was hot with the rush of many of my fellow down…read morestate people moving upstate because of COVID and scooping up all the $300K-400K homes so commission potential had been very high but it was really disappointing to realize that the relationship you wanted with your realty agent was broken when you want to look at homes that seem perfectly acceptable at lower purchase prices and you are told the agent does not want to invest their time with you because a couple of homes you want to look at are asking below a certain number they have in mind for showing you. I thought the agents job is to show you options, not to manipulate your view of what is available so they can get a bigger commission. A dry cut off after already putting a couple of months into the relationship leading up to this time was disappointing. Do your research and make sure the agent is not opposed to showing you homes priced at below your original stated range. You are looking for someone who will help you jump to get a good deal (if the rare chances occur that you can actually find them) and not someone who will limit their time with you because they don't want a smaller commission. That said, we found an agent who still showed us our range but also kept an eye open for those deals and got a nice home that cost was in between so they got close to their full commission and we got a rare good deal on the home.

From day one, they were patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my many questions. I never once felt like a bother. They took the time to explain everything clearly. Their advice on pricing, staging, and marketing was spot-on, and thanks to their strategy, we had strong interest right away. When offers came in, they walked me through every detail and helped me negotiate the best possible outcome. I never once felt like I was on my own. I'm so thankful to have had so much help navigating this process for the first time. They kept me informed, stayed ahead of every deadline, and truly made me feel like I had a team. Thank you both for making this such a positive experience!

It's sold! We listed…read moreour house with Julie and Patrick after doing some extensive research on realtors and having sit down meetings with our three top choices. And without a doubt, they were the right realtors for us. More than anything, we needed someone to hold our hands through the process of selling our first house. I think it was Julie who said the experience was more like a marathon than a sprint. One of the things that we found the most appealing were the duo's stats. The ratio of sales price to asking price, and the average time of their listings on market, were fantastic. But what is it they always say? Past results aren't a guarantee of future success? It took a little bit longer, and we didn't quite get as much for the house as we had hoped. But there were a lot of unexpected bumps along the road. Like a tree falling onto the house, and puncturing a hole in the roof, while it was on the market. But Patrick and Julie were always a reassuring voice of calm. Plus, they were able to connect us with people who could help shore up the house to get it ready for going on the market, even when our long time handyman wasn't able to get us onto his schedule. While part of me wishes the couple might have been more aggressive at marketing the property, I don't regret the decision to pass on the more aggressive agent we considered for the listing. With an impending move on the horizon, and the inherently stressful proposition of selling one's most valuable asset, the calm and peaceful disposition of McSharry and Associates was just what we needed. Thanks again to Julie and Patrick for working with us, and even answering our questions after the sale was complete. They never doubted that it would turn out okay in the end. And indeed, it did. Plus, they donate a portion of their commission to a local charity of the seller's choice, which is just the icing on top of the cake. So not only did we sell our house, but hopefully we did a little something to help combat food insecurity within the Capital District.
