We had to do a long distance sale of our old family home. Luckily, we chose Hallie to be our…read morerealtor. Anytime we had a question or needed help resolving an issue, Hallie was ready with clear explanations of our options. We especially appreciated her background in construction as we figured out how to prepare an older home for sale. Although the house was listed "as is," Hallie made sure that a professional photographer captured the natural Finger Lakes beauty of the property, so buyers could see the potential of the land and outbuildings. I highly recommend Hallie as a realtor!

When working remotely became an option for us, we decided to move to Ithaca, NY to live closer to…read morefamily. We contacted Hallie based on positive reviews and we're so glad that she was the one to help us find and purchase our first home. Her knowledge and availability was essential as we were unable to fly back and forth to tour homes. She was flexible and creative in showing us properties that fit our budget and had the space and amenities we were looking for. She never pressured us and worked with us to submit offers that we felt comfortable with. We were unfamiliar with the home buying process in New York but she helped guide us through it. We would definitely recommend Hallie and work with her again in the future!

She is easy to talk to,…read morereally understands the market, and most of all what it takes to purchase and sell a home in Tompkins County. We loved her work so much we hired her to do both and couldn't have been happier with her work! When we were ready to sell, Melynda took care of everything. I truly believe her eye for preparing and staging a house to sell is unparalleled. There were so many moving parts to the process of selling, which could have been overwhelming, but Melynda took care of every detail. Our house sold almost immediately after we put it on the market and went for more than we expected. Buying a house in a competitive market was also a breeze with Melynda. Once we explained what we wanted, she quickly and efficiently found a property that was a perfect fit for us. She is very well connected and respected in the city, and was able to help us navigate a bidding war and get us the home we wanted at a price we needed. We were so happy with Melynda's work. We HIGHLY recommend Melynda as an agent for any real estate need you may have.

Buyer beware! I signed a contract to purchase property last week (full price cash offer) the seller…read moreaccepted my offer and my earnest money was already deposited. Yesterday I got a phone call and was told if I didn't come up with an extra $6000 the seller's attorney was just going to simply "disapprove" my contract at the last minute so the seller could get out of the deal. This sequence of events raises serious concerns about the integrity of the transaction process and the conduct of the real estate agent (Amanda) and this brokerage. Specifically, the acceptance of my offer, followed by the solicitation or encouragement over the weekend of someone else to hurry up and make a higher offer at the 11th hour, and then the intimidation / "shake down" of an ultimatum. My attorney was flabbergasted and said she had never seen someone do this before. While Amanda's actions may have technically fallen within "legal bounds", they were completely underhanded and contrary to the standards of good faith and fair dealings expected in real estate transactions. This agent was highly unethical and I cannot believe this is how they are conducting business. I would never use this company again or recommend them to anyone. These tactics are very cut throat and the reason why real estate agents have a bad reputation of being shady. I have contacted the broker / owner of this company with my concerns and have yet to receive a response. I guess this is just normal practices business for this company.

There was a leak in the basement that wasn't disclosed upfront, and I found it in the inspection report later. I was initially told my offer would probably be accepted; less than 12 hours later, the owners changed their mind and demanded more money, and their agent never once spoke to me about trying to reach a negotiation. In fact, the agent, Hickory Lee, never spoke to me at all, despite me trying to contact her at least twice, and having made an offer. Extremely unprofessional and unethical. Would not suggest anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate approach this place. Go to Howard Hanna instead; I've never heard of one of their agents pulling this kind of behavior.

Lindsey does not communicate or educate you on what should and shouldn't be done, or better yet what's best for me! She's just looking for her commission as quickly as possible. She made a lot of money from the sale of my property and she couldn't even follow up with me after the sale. I felt like she was working with the buyers agent. Almost like she set up the sale before hand. I've found posts with the buyer thanking my realtor for helping with the transaction. Seems a little odd to me and pretty rude that you can communicate with the buyer of the property who you didn't represent. But couldn't follow up with me to at least say thanks for your business.
