What a lovely office and great staff. Rexford (Rex) Rater and his wife are so phenomenal. I…read moreprimarily worked with Rex, but his wife Sandra did talk with me about a house and she was great as well. Very helpful and honest people. I couldn't ask for a better realtor than Rex. He was fast and friendly with no pressure. I could text him any time and he got back to me with a schedule in no time. I've worked with other realtors long ago through priemer listings and didn't find a good match until now. I'm the wrong person to pressure or wait around a week for a response. Thankfully I found a better match with Real Estate Advantage and the Raters. I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE! They made finding and buying my home a smooth, fast, and painless process. Do yourself a favor and go with Rex or his wife!

When we first decided to build a new home, we weren't familiar with Maleno, but their reputation…read morepreceded them and we're happy we chose to work with them. Not knowing much about architecture and construction, my husband and I were relying on Maleno's expertise to create the perfect home from our vision--something that cannot be easy, but something that they accomplished beautifully. Initially we met with Natalie who helped us select our lot and was a primary point of contact throughout the process. She and Dominic were happy to meet us across town in a bitter snowstorm mid-construction so that we could do an impromptu walk-through. Not once did they seem putout. Natalie and Melissa worked with us to design a custom floorplan that we changed over and over until we finally hit that perfect layout for our family's needs. The number of times we rejected plan suggestions, I was sure they'd be getting frustrated, but their professionalism and patience never wavered. We had walkthroughs staggered over the building process and met with Natalie, Melissa, Dominic, and/or Richie. Each time our questions were answered, concerns were addressed, and requests for changes were noted. The building crew members were always accommodating during our visits, especially if we wanted to snap photos of the progress. We were lucky enough to get our keys just days before Erie was shut down for COVID-19 mitigation. For the sake of decreased exposure, only Natalie and Richie were present for that otherwise exciting day. They gave us a wealth of knowledge about our new home as we did our last walkthrough. After we'd gotten our keys, Ideal Sound & Vision set up our smart home devices and security. They were headed to Dominic's home to work on his house next. The fact that Maleno employs the same companies for their personal homes as they do for their customers' homes is indicative to me that they truly trust their contractors. It makes me more confident in the quality of our home's construction. Every large construction project is going to have issues. Any builder who tells you otherwise is lying. Naturally we had some concerns early on. We emailed Dominic regarding our concerns. Generally we received a response the same day (often within hours) about how the issue(s) would be handled. Every single concern we had was addressed. Not once did they tell us that something was not their problem or that they wouldn't follow up. Either a contractor was sent to us or Richie himself came to lend his skills. From a looming tree on an adjacent lot threatening to fall on our home, to a tiny screw hole that wasn't covered aesthetically--Maleno took care of it. Building our home was about as smooth a process as I could have expected. Designing it was not only fun, it was educational. And being able to see the house through its construction phases leaves little doubt as to the quality of a home we plan to spend many years. Maleno did an excellent job and continues to be accessible as we settle into our neighborhood. They are professional and always available to answer our questions. They left us feeling confident in our decision to build with them. Notably, Natalie was remarkably easy to work with and has such a welcoming personality. It was refreshing and enjoyable to work with her (especially after some less-than-stellar agents we've worked with in the past). After we were moved in, she checked in multiple times and when I reached out to her with some neighborhood questions, she responded immediately. Her customer service is unmatched. And Richie, Maleno's foreman extraordinaire, is easily one of the most accommodating and helpful people I've ever met. Despite obviously being in high-demand with all of the construction projects he's overseeing across Erie County, he's never abrupt, rushed or anything less than generous when working on any project (small or large). There are not enough hours in the day for how above and beyond he goes, but he manages.
