We first met Tila walking into an open house in October 2024 nearby our current apartment. At this point we knew very little about the purchasing process, we were very much just dipping our toes in the market and starting our search. Within a few minutes, Tila was able to knock out all our questions about the complex path to homeownership. From that one meeting, my wife and I were very impressed with Tila and because we felt as if our personalities matched, we decided on using Tila exclusively as our agent. In a follow up we briefly went over what we were looking for and a rough timeline of our next few months. We saw quite a few different places with Tila as our agent, from new builds to charming older buildings. When we visited listings with Tila, I really appreciated that she defensively blocked the other agents from bugging us while we looked around, she understood that we needed time to poke around and see if the apartment fit our needs. Tila was very cognizent of our timeline, we were planning on a few different trips and would be overseas for most of November, and in a different timezone for most of December. We started winding down our search as we approached our trip in November. While we were overseas, Tila kept up communication with us and managed to find us a few listings that were pre-market and fit our needs perfectly. Tila was able to set up an early viewing with the current owners in the short window that we were in New York. Although we were jet-lagged, it was clear to see that Tila's effort paid off and we put in an offer immediately after seeing it. Since the apartment was a co-op, Tila's team was able to guide us through the purchase process, Christina was a great help in looking over our package to the board. We also ended up using Tila's recommended lawyer, insurance agent, and mortgage lender. Although the process was long and complex, Tila was there every step of the way and we managed to close in April! I cannot understate how much of a great help Tila and her team was to helping us achieve our home ownership dreams.

If you're going to sell your house in Astoria, Bianca Colasuonno and her team are really the only…read moreway to go. My family interviewed several realtors when we decided recently to put our mom's house up for sale, and Bianca really stood out: She had 20 years' experience in Queens, an office in the neighborhood, a team of associates and staff, plus she was part of the national Compass real estate agency. A lot of selling a house has to do with networking and getting the word out, so right off the bat, our listing got the loyal attention of hundreds of fellow Compass agents in the city. And in the end, it WAS a Compass agent who brought us the best Buyer! Another key advantage Bianca brought to the table were her modern marketing skills. She and her team knew how to promote our house on the Internet, and hired top pros to take fantastic photos, including a terrific floor plan illustration, a huge help during COVID when lots of potential buyers relied on virtual tours. And when we needed a contractor to ready the house for sale, Bianca had a handy list of reasonably-priced pros to recommend. Most of all, Bianca was a smart, savvy, thorough, and patient professional who always knew what to do and always kept her head - - even while I was losing mine. I am a bossy, short-tempered woman who is low on tact, but Bianca always remained calm under pressure, remained on top of every detail, and steadfastly steered the sale over every bump and hiccup. In short: Bianca and her team were fantastic! I can't recommend and thank Bianca enough!

From the time we first stepped in the front door, our Realtor, Patricia Murphy, of Village Plaza Realty, was a fountain of knowledge and information not only in regard to the home itself but also in regard to the surrounding area. She was able to answer ANY and ALL of our questions efficiently and in a timely manner not only throughout the home buying process, but even now, three weeks after our closing, should any new questions arise.

"Buyers" were never qualified, she told me the loan went through and to "pack up and leave". I trusted her and moved out of my house and bought another home....turns out they were never qualified and couldn't get a loan. She strung this story along for over 9 MONTHS! She even worked a deal out, with getting cash "under the table", so she could make more money on the commission. In the end, I lost everything, both houses and all my money. She told me she would watch my home in NY, (I moved out of state). Pipes burst, black mold grew in the basement from the water damage, that totally destroyed it, my home was destroyed and it never sold! I've reported her to the Real Estate Commissioner and so have others. She is shady, under handed and lies. She took advantage of my situation and my lack of knowledge about real estate, not to mention the trust of a "friendship". In hindsight, this was planned, as she will buy my house at the foreclosure auction...that's right, I'm losing my house, based on this lying realtor. Don't be her next victim. While I blame her 99%, I also blame myself for trusting the town drunk to ever handle my estate. Now she is laughing all the way to the bank, I'm facing being homeless.
