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.

In my opinion, the way my transaction was handled felt dishonest, unprofessional, and completely lacking transparency. I left the process feeling misled and taken advantage of. Communication was inconsistent, important details were not disclosed, and the overall experience caused me significant frustration and financial concern. I would never buy or sell a property with this company again. I believe their practices should be looked into by the state for possible violations. This was my personal experience, and I hope it helps others make an informed decision.

Greta was fantastic!…read more I was a first time home owner and in another state but that didn't stop her from helping me find a local Realtor that eventually lead to my first home. I couldn't have done it without Greta's help. Even though she wasn't our primary Realtor she made sure to check in and make sure we were happy with how things were going AND she answered a million questions. It was as if she was there helping us! Not only that but she sent us a little note congratulating us when we finally closed. Our local Realtor didn't even do that! Greta was thoughtful, patient, and attentive throughout the whole process even though she was on the other side of the country. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home anywhere in the US.

Not only did Greta help calm my fears, but she was able to refer me to a wonderful, husband and wife team who helped me through many house tours, many nail biting nights of being afraid to take the plunge into home ownership, and eventually, home ownership! I really owe Greta a lot of thanks for listening to me and finding me the perfect realtor. Recently, I've referred another friend of mine to Greta for a referral for a realtor and I know that based on my experience with Greta, the realtor she will be referred to will be a perfect fit for her.

After being pretty frustrated with home/land shopping for almost a year, I was listening to Vox Pop…read moreon NPR one afternoon and heard Renata giving advice to home buyers and sellers on the program. I called in and vented my frustrations and Renata suggested I do some of the smaller footwork on my own. After a few weeks and still no help from the "family friend" real estate agent I decided to call Renata and see if she could help. After answering a few questions she wanted to meet in person and go over what I was looking for. We setup a meeting and went over budget, location, and pretty much hashed out all the things I was looking for. She put me in touch with a lender she recommended and within a week we were looking at properties. Fast forward a few months and we closed in a house December of last year. Renata was very knowledgeable and always available if I had a question or concern about anything. The closing process was smooth and painless!

As you do, we…read morelooked at quite a few places, (we are renting, for now) and worked with many agents and brokers, some of whom were good, some pretty great. Taylor, at Red Door, was exceptional. He gave us an exhaustive tour of the property in question, was exceptionally generous with his time, and if we had a question he did not know the answer to, (rare) he got the answer right away. He also put in a lot of time on our application, and made the process smooth, and painless. Our impression of him is that he is patient, kind, and very professional. If our re-location becomes permanent, he is definitely our first call when it is time to buy a house.

Moved into a building managed by capital companies NY in august 2021. Individually, the following…read moreissues were not a big deal but cumulatively you have to ask yourself if moving into a new place should be so fraught with hiccups with an established company. The apartment was not fully cleaned (fridge needed to be wiped down, crumbs and food particles in drawers and cabinets, and most concerning was a thick mat of someone else's lint in the dryer). That wasn't really a huge issue, I don't mind cleaning up some when moving in. Another issue was that building management changed the day we actually moved in- and despite capital companies assurance our pro rated first month (moved to second month) would transition to the new management it was actually quite a process to receive our pro-ration. Capital also tacked on 9.50 for landlord insurance to the monthly rent, which does not protect the tenants possessions at all and is not a substitute for renters insurance, I feel like this hidden cost should not be passed on to renters. As a property management company they should also have been aware that the state of New York forbids security deposits greater than the first months rent in any form or fashion - we were new to the state and had no idea but this is pretty common knowledge. Nonetheless they took a $1000 refundable pet security deposit from us on top the security deposit for the rental. One last thing.. They required we sign in with national grid prior to moving in to start utilities, well national grid doesn't have meters listed under the address or unit numbers for the apartment as advertised. We had to pursue capital companies to get us the meter numbers to start service.

I called him and he met me at my mothers house. He looked everything over and said we just had to empty the house. Well, it took almost three months. Scott kept in touch to see if we needed anything. What I liked about Scott there was no pressure to sign papers. When we got the house emptied Scott came over and said we just needed a clean up. I asked him if he knew anyone and luckily he did. I told him we better sign some papers. He came up with a price for the house in which I was very happy with. He also told me we were having a n open house the following weekend. As the weekend neared we were excited but than Scott called me and said the open house was cancelled. He than told me he already had 6 offers and asked if I could meet him which I did. He had an offer for $10,000 over asking price, cash and the people wanted a fast closing. I accepted. We had the closing about 10 days later. We met the people and I met the lawyer Scott suggested I use. His fees were very fair. The people gave me a check and they got the deed. Everyone was very happy. Scott goes over and above and gets the job done. Now my Daisha's him looking for s house and than she will have him sell hers when she gets another one.

I posted another review about Josh's fantastic service for my boiler several months ago. When my…read moremini-splits stopped blowing cold air, I knew Josh would be the one to call. He fit me into his packed schedule (of course the units picked the first hot spell of the season to act up), diagnosed a refrigerant leak, and set about fixing it. If you're not familiar with mini-split systems, the difference between them and central air is that where central air cools air at the condenser unit then circulates it through your house, mini-splits circulate refrigerant, cooling the air at various "head units" throughout the house. The advantage is that mini-splits are easier and faster to retrofit into old buildings. The disadvantage is that there are many more places for a refrigerant leak to hide. Josh filled the system with UV dye and came back late in the evening to check for leaks. He found a couple of egregiously loose fittings---a sure sign of shoddy installation by the other company that had installed the system. At this point, he suspected there were probably loose fittings elsewhere. He's keenly aware of how expensive refrigerant is, and how bad it is for the environment when it leaks. With that in mind, along with the fact that the heat spell had broken, he suggested we hold off on refilling the system until he could come back and do a full system walkthrough. When he came back, he pressurized the system to its max with Nitrogen, so he could check for leaks without wasting refrigerant. It just so happened to be the hottest day of the year (so far), but that just made him more determined to get the system running for us. He worked thoroughly but quickly and got our system running better than I think it ever has. I'm profoundly grateful for his hard work and dedication. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any HVAC work you need done.
