Which was a picnic compared to how bad he was at selling; we ended up selling for 20% less than what we paid.

And without a doubt, they were the right realtors for us. More than anything, we needed someone to hold our hands through the process of selling our first house. I think it was Julie who said the experience was more like a marathon than a sprint. One of the things that we found the most appealing were the duo's stats. The ratio of sales price to asking price, and the average time of their listings on market, were fantastic. But what is it they always say? Past results aren't a guarantee of future success? It took a little bit longer, and we didn't quite get as much for the house as we had hoped. But there were a lot of unexpected bumps along the road. Like a tree falling onto the house, and puncturing a hole in the roof, while it was on the market. But Patrick and Julie were always a reassuring voice of calm. Plus, they were able to connect us with people who could help shore up the house to get it ready for going on the market, even when our long time handyman wasn't able to get us onto his schedule. While part of me wishes the couple might have been more aggressive at marketing the property, I don't regret the decision to pass on the more aggressive agent we considered for the listing. With an impending move on the horizon, and the inherently stressful proposition of selling one's most valuable asset, the calm and peaceful disposition of McSharry and Associates was just what we needed. Thanks again to Julie and Patrick for working with us, and even answering our questions after the sale was complete. They never doubted that it would turn out okay in the end. And indeed, it did. Plus, they donate a portion of their commission to a local charity of the seller's choice, which is just the icing on top of the cake. So not only did we sell our house, but hopefully we did a little something to help combat food insecurity within the Capital District.

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!

I don't consider myself a lucky person but I do believe we lucked out getting paired with Sandy. Her response time was incredible which is important to me. No matter when we reached out, she got back to us quickly with answers. What really set Sandy apart was how knowledgeable she is about the Capital Region and not just the listings, but with the people. She connected us with great lawyers and knowledgeable inspectors. Every recommendation she gave was solid. If you know anything about networking, you know how important it is to have a solid one. She has this natural ability to talk to anyone about anything, which made interaction feel easy and genuine. She has a lot of house knowledge too which is so helpful for a first-time buyer. She is so much fun too. Beyond the professional side, Sandy is just a wonderful person. You know she genuinely cares about you and is working hard for what's best for you. When my mom passed away during this process, she reached out personally to check on me and see if there was anything she could do which meant more than she probably knows. If you're buying your first home (or any home) in the Capital Region, you want Sandy in your corner. We couldn't have done this without her. Special shout out to her partner Janet as well. Thank you Sandy!

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.

Her level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail are unmatched. She's also just an absolute delight to work with and took the time to really get to know us and our needs in order to find the perfect home for our family. Every step of the way, she kept us informed and prepared so nothing fell through the cracks. Everyone she recommended was outstanding and affordable as well and we ended up choosing from her recommended lists for our lender, real estate attorney, and inspector. They also all spoke highly of her, only further confirming how right we were in choosing her! We had met with several realtors in the capital region before making our final decision and not even a few minutes into that initial scoping call, I could just tell that Rebekah was the right fit for us. She truly goes to bat for her clients while ensuring that all offers, negotiations, and correspondence with other parties in the transaction are fair. Through the entire process of touring, making offers, and then while under contract, we always felt like we were in good hands. She was always one step ahead ensuring that all the right pieces were falling into place and was always there to reassure and help problem solve any time we had any concerns. I highly recommend her for your next home purchase! Thank you so much Rebekah for helping us find our forever home and making it feel so effortless compared to all of our previous home purchases and sales. You are THE BEST!

I asked the realtor to not list it and she refused my request . Property was put in MLS and out of 5 pics posted not one was of the land !! ( not very knowledgeable of their listings) Also can't say it's for sure, maybe a coincidence, but since the listing went in MLS some personal property was stolen from the land. Plus had to resign a form, because realtor gave me the wrong one originally I got the impression from them that it was "all about the money" and unique personal requests weren't a consideration. Be careful if you list or buy from them !!!!!
