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.

I recently hired an agent from Gucciardo Real Estate Group, Guiseppe Tropiano, to sell my house in…read moreAlbany and had an absolutely terrible experience with him. He disregarded all of my requests and broke clear agreements which had been made before hiring him. He was aggressive and applied maximum pressure and threats to get his way, which a sales price far below the true market price. He was only after a quick buck without doing any work. Beware of this guy. Do not trust him. A company is only as good as the people they hire and Guiseppe's behavior is a reflection of the culture of Gucciardo Real Estate Group. You have been warned. This is a true review from an actual verified customer.

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.
