Jon seems to think that yelling at women and harassing them is acceptable…read more His broker was one hour late because she forgot about my appointment. (I drove 2 hours from out of state). She knew nothing about the apartment and landlord. Before signing the lease Jon told me that the landlord was good about repairs and he was a client for 20 years. It turned out that the landlord refused to perform all repairs! I had to pay out of my own pocket. The oven did not work. The glass was separating from the rotting window frames allowing cold air to come in. The vent in the closet size bathroom with no window did not work, welcoming profuse MOLD growth. The built-in credenza reeked of old mold! Permeating the living room. I have been renting for 40 years and I have never had such a bad landlord! On top of it I caught him staring at me a few times through my windows while exiting the bathroom in a towel. I wrote a letter to JonCar Realty with a list of 13 needed repairs. He called me up, yelled at me and told me that I HAD to move out in two months! And I had signed a one year lease. What he did to me was illegal! On the day of my move Jon Miller, his real name, phoned me and screamed at me repeatedly that it was against the law to move on the last day of the month! (The landlord had approved it and Jon's name was not on the lease as the property management agent.) He kept screaming at me to finish my move within 2 hours because he was to inspect the property for the landlord and he was finishing his work at five. In summary, Jon Miller, the proprietor of JonCar Realty, took my money and refused to reimburse me for poor service, refused to help me find a better apartment, was verbally abusive, and harassed me.

Avoid this realty office. They encouraged me to rent an apartment that was larger than I needed…read moreand came with a $550 realtor fee that I had to pay them. And they would only accept bank checks that had to be sent by express, certified mail (more fees I had to pay). They told me there was a rush because they had other people interested in the place, but the other people had children and they did not want to rent the apartment to people with children. I only found out later (after signing the lease) that the apartment was owned by the realtor's family. So they are just funneling money from one family member to the other. The whole thing seemed sketchy to me. Since there are many other realtors in the area, I would definitely recommend staying away from this realty office.

Blake was recommended by family due to his friendliness, persistence, and expertise. We are…read moreextremely fortunate that he was recommended. We knew a small amount about the home buying process in New York being that our last home was bought in Vermont, but Blake helped us through the entire process. Everything went so smoothly! Within 2 weeks we had a seller accept our offer on an highly desirable home. We truly think that Blake's experience and recognition as a top real estate agent throughout the Hudson Valley helped us seal the deal and made us more desirable as a buyer. Blake explained everything to us throughout the process and was always available for any questions. His experience and knowledge of real estate is unmatched in this market. We have already recommended Blake to friends and will without hesitation use Blake in the future. Thank you Blake!!!

This is in reference to Agent Lois Slaughter: Ms. Slaughter…read morerepresented the buyer of our condo in Bronxville, NY. She failed to notify the buyer was her relative, which is a NYS requirement.

I wish her the best of luck but would never recommend her.

We listed our Beacon home with Shannon. She did not provide anywhere near the services we expected,…read moreand we told her this all along. I asked her for accurate comps. that would reflect our home's value. They were not a good match for our house's value. She wanted to list it lower than she did, and didn't seem so apprised of fast-increasing home values in Beacon. She did not return calls in a timely manner and became very edgy when we asked her to physically visit us. I think she quickly went through our home two times, except for bringing someone through. We were satisfied with the price we got, but we felt she did little to contribute to that. Since she had done far less than expected to market our house, which sold before it was in multiple listings, we asked her and her manager for a lowering of commission. They were both unreceptive and not forthright. Where is the work ethic of yore? Why should one earn such a vast amount for partially doing her job? Why did we have to keep phoning her? I don't enjoy giving poor reviews, but it was deserved.

WARNING: Avoid this place…read more If you can make it past the ugly horse paintings in the window, you'll encounter the most obnoxious people I've ever met. They rarely returned my phone calls and treated me with very little respect. Rude, rude, rude. The broker I met with seemed to care very little about whether or not I was comfortable with the property. She was obviously eager to get a deal done and shove me out the door. For me, this place typifies everything that is wrong with the real estate business. The broker I met with was cold, unfriendly, aggressive, loud, irritating, and frankly, seemed to be totally out of tune with the real estate market in Beacon. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!
