I just can't say enough about Kenny…read more When it was time for me to (finally) buy my own place (long story, buy me a drink to hear it!), I wanted to get it done. I tried a search with someone else, but ended up feeling like a customer in a diner. Just giving my order. If I asked an opinion, I got "it depends on what you like" in reply. I hate that. Kenny took the bull by the horns. He asked my priorities, preferences, and budget. He built out a search based on our discussion. Importantly, he went outside what I THOUGHT were my preferences. I thought I wanted a house. I was wrong. After a day of showing me houses in my price range (they were nice, but needed work...), he took me to a townhouse. Gated, pool, clubhouse. Separate bathrooms for me and my daughter. Like he said, townhouses are like minivans...once you decide to get one, you realize it has everything you want...and you didn't even know it. Thanks Kenny. Thanks for helping me take the next step forward. Thanks for having an opinion. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Just...thanks!

If you are buying a house, or even thinking about buying a house, start with Jeff. He'll tell you…read morewhat finances and paperwork you need to get done, when, and in what order. He will be honest with you throughout -- always direct and never smarmy. He will return every call and text. He will help you understand the whole process, even the stuff you didn't know that you didn't know. He'll send you matches through the app and respond to your comments so when you are finally ready, he knows what you're looking for. Jeff will take you to see houses and will teach you about looking for water in the basement, checking out drainage and the foundation, warning signs and potential 'challenges', as well as being able to answer your questions about septic vs cesspool, how much electric you really need, sussing out if there is gas on the street (for a later stove conversion), and telling you how old the roof is just by looking at it. And any other questions you might have! If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out. He is so thorough and eagle-eyed that you can get excited about the hardwood floors and eat-in kitchen, knowing that Jeff will spot EVERYthing you need to be aware of. He's also really personable which helps when you're spending entire weekend days with someone. We had one crushing disappointment along the way -- not his fault -- and Jeff's straightforward "Okay, that's in the past, let's move forward" attitude was key in getting us right back out there (and we found our house THAT weekend.) He will guide you through the entire process, through closing, and make you feel -- the whole time -- pretty much like you are his only client. Once you close, and you need an electrician, a floors guy, a painter, whatever, Jeff 'has a guy' and if he doesn't, he won't quit until he finds you someone. We would use Jeff again in a second and wholeheartedly recommend him!

We chose Chris to be our agent because of her excellent communication skills, direct feedback style, and history as a producing agent. Chris did not disappoint! We live out of town, so we fully relied on Chris. She kept us in the loop with frequent updates on showings and open houses. She provided us feedback from other agents and potential buyers. She arranged times for service technicians to be at the house. Most importantly, Chris kept to the goals that we set at the beginning of the listing agreement. She didn't nag us down on price, but waited for the right opportunity! We would definitively Chris again!!!

We did not use Christine Malloy as our agent, but she was the buyers agent of our house. She is…read morerude, sarcastic, arrives late when needed to meet inspectors. We gave a specific time as one of us had to be home, and she still shows up late. No call, nothing. (she was next door for twenty min talking to her friend one of those times). This has happened numerous times. If she does not get her way, it's a problem. Expect an attitude and being called a "bitch" behind your backs. Don't expect respect from Christine Malloy Because you will not get any. she came today with the buyers for the walk through and had the nerve to say "can we speed this up, I have to drive to DE with my kids." If this job is an inconvenience for you Christine, then maybe you should pick another profession. Highly unprofessional- I would give no stars if that was an option. maybe she is nicer if she is on your side, but either way, she made our experience a living hell. I will Make sure to NEVER recommend her to anyone as she only brings negativity into your home. We have used Douglas Elliman previosuly and never had an issue once with any other agent.

When we decided to list our house we selected Mark Schreier because he is an ex-teacher, we think…read moreteachers are smart and we wanted someone smart to sell our house. Mark far exceeded our expectations. He spent a great deal of time strategizing with us on how best to list the house and what the right price would be. In addition, Mark is very action-oriented, getting landscapers, contractors, clean-up crews at our house in an instant on a Sunday. Whenever we called he always answered his phone or called back promptly which is important to us. We always felt he went that extra mile, offering his help in many, many ways. As a result our house sold the day we listed it and closed in a month. You can't get any better than that!
