This beautiful Dynamo of a realtor has been our champion in helping us to make the decision to build verses purchase an existing home. She has been there for us night and day and answers our questions, easier our fears and 'goes to bat' for us as needed with a smile on her face and unending enthusiasm. Her expertise helped us to sell our current home within 24 hours of putting it on the market. It's hard to find a realtor that you just click with and she is definitely it. Her knowledge and customer service skills to listen to our needs, react quickly and obtain answers for every little question was incredible. Our WCI realtor worked in tandem with another WCI realtor, Antony Butera and together they were always available and the communication between them afforded us the ability to have assistance for either at anytime without having someone say 'let me check to see what the other has done'. I highly recommend them when selling and/or buying a home. I hit the jackpot with them. With our sincerest gratitude and admiration, Judy and Lou Giordano

I really appreciated how her team worked together to accommodate our schedules, and we loved working with her partners Debbie and Brett when she wasn't available personally.

Before choosing a real estate agent, we conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best…read morechoice for us. We had been referred to over 30 agents from coworkers, friends and family. We decided to go with Erin Duffy Kruss at the Mark Siwiec Team Real Estate. She is someone that you can trust and is awesome to work with. She proved that time and again with her thorough knowledge of neighborhoods, home construction and the local market. Every time we viewed a new property Erin would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, etc. The Rochester, NY market has been a fast paced one in 2018 with high demand and quality homes priced right going extremely quick. Erin was there to help us navigate the fast paced market and aggressively got us showings early and very promptly based on our schedules. It took us quite some time and months to find the perfect home for our family. Erin was great to work with the entire time. We felt bad that when we did find our dream home in Fairport, NY., it was weeks after Erin just had her first child and was still on maternity leave. This speaks to the level of commitment, professionalism and dedication she had to us and our family still helping us out. Erin led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. In the end we found the property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Erin was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Erin very much for everything and everyone at your company, they went above and beyond helping us. Thank you,

I've had the chance to work alongside Bonnie Pagano for close to five years now, and I can honestly…read moresay she's one of the most dedicated real estate professionals I know. Bonnie has what I like to call a DFQ mindset -- "Don't Ever Quit." When a deal hits a bump in the road, she doesn't get discouraged or walk away. She leans in, gets creative, and keeps working until she finds a way forward for her clients. One thing that really stands out about Bonnie is how creative and intuitive she is. She has a great ability to read situations, think through different angles, and come up with solutions that help everyone involved. As someone who works closely with agents, I can say she's also a great partner to collaborate with and always focused on getting the deal across the finish line the right way. She also brings a positive, forward-looking attitude to the work she does. Bonnie truly cares about helping people reach their goals, whether they're buying their first home or moving on to the next chapter. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is persistent, resourceful, and committed to her clients, Bonnie Pagano at Core Agency Real Estate is someone you want in your corner.

I loved every minute of living here. There are so many perks that come along with this apartment…read morebuilding, which is why it was so sad leaving. The only downside (for us) was that it's an apartment so we quickly grew out of the space and had to move to something with 3 floors and a basement just to fit all our stuff. Regardless, I'll go on telling the love story of our stay at 1600 for three years. This was our first time living together as a couple (aww). We couldn't find anything that met our needs until Willy stumbled on 1600 East. It was in our price range at the time -- our rent for a one bedroom was $1000 (split $500 each) with nearly everything included... I'll get to that in a minute. When we rode the elevator to the 9th floor and looked out at the view of East Ave and Cobbs Hill, we knew we found the place. All the perks: - We lived on the 9th floor so the view was amazing. Literally it's what sold us on the place. - It was super clean and newly renovated -- new stove, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, cherry wood cabinets. We kept the carpet (new), but most apts have gorgeous wood floors. - Kitchen was small, but opened up into the living room so we made it work. Still good for entertaining in that sense and made it seem less constricting. It fit most of our stuff... until the bigger appliances like Kitchen Aid Mixer, bread machine, and crock pot were Christmas gifted to us. - Lots of closet space considering the space. Enough to store all my suitcases and holiday decorations with room to spare. - There's a gym downstairs -- it's small, but has two treadmills, two bikes, a few weight machines, an elliptical, and room to do abs/stretch. *Super convenient since all I had to do was ride the elevator downstairs to get a quick workout without leaving the building* - Basic cable, heat & A/C, electric all included in rent. We paid ~$60-70 every 3 months for water, which I think is now included for new tenants. We upgraded cable & internet. - They have storage units in the garage -- costs extra per month, but not too expensive. I think Willy paid $35/mo. for a large unit. - I recommend living on the East Ave side -- gorgeous views. Although you will hear the crows that lay claim to the giant tree in front in the wee hours of the morning. The University side has the train. Take your pick. - Awesome back patio with grills and tables. - Party space you can reserve or hang out in -- theater room, kitchen area, billiards room. - Concierge service -- Cole is the best! They also deliver your packages to your door. A nice gesture. - Garbage and recycling taken care of by the building -- all your have to do is bring it to a room on the 1st floor. Plus a garbage chute for the little things. - Mail chute -- never realized how convenient that was until now. - They allow cats -- but there's an extra $25 fee/mo. - Easy rent payment online or autopay. - Their staff shovels and plows in the winter. - SO soundproof. You can't hear anything ever. - Property manager kept the place in tip top shape! And threw parties for the tenants -- summer and holiday party -- with free raffles to win kick ass prizes like flat screen tvs and game systems. - Good mix of people. When we first moved in a lot of people assumed it was an old folks place, but we lived down a hall with mostly 20-somethings. There are a few tenants that are older, but they're fun to talk to and have lived there for years. Downsides: - A one-bedroom was small after we accumulated lots of stuff and both started working from home. We needed office space and more storage. - Transitioning to a two-bedroom was out of our budget and didn't seem like a worthy expense just for the 2nd room. - It's hot all the time. We were on the 9th floor and sometimes had to open our windows in the winter to get some fresh air because it was often pushing 74 from the heat rising from other apartments, also it's a small space that warms up quickly. I recommend a humidifier in the winter and fans. - Laundromat-style laundry. Never had any issues, just a pain and reminiscent of my college days. The upside is that nothing was ever stolen. Just set a timer when your stuff is done because people may remove your clothes from the washer/dryer if too much time has passed. All in all, I miss this place a lot. Saying farewell was like the end of an era... like the Friends finale. I may have shed a tear. Couples - consider it for your first apartment...
