In summary, I had great experience with John Rotta, so I would highly recommend him to friends and family that are looking for a real estate agent. I was looking to buy an apartment in Westchester, NY, so my cousin introduced me to Margarita from KW Realty Group, who helped him with his previous purchase. Margarita was extra nice and she connected me with John, who then helped me throughout the whole process. This was my first real estate purchase, so I was a bit nervous because I didn't know how to go about it. As a first step. John outlined the whole process and answered all my questions, which had me relax as I realized that I am in good hands. John then helped me set up apartment search goals and started sending me available properties that met my criteria. In the meanwhile, John helped me prepare preliminary documentation that would be needed to prove that I meet typical Coop/Condo requirements in the area, which are mostly financial records. John introduced me to Christian Babcock from LoanDepot to help me with mortgage and to Sam Shusterhoff from The Shusterhoff Law Firm to provide legal services. Both Christian and Sam were great, and they have done this many times before with John, so the three of them had a seamless workflow from start to finish. John then started showing me apartments that I was interested in, and shortly afterwards, I found what I was looking for, perhaps even a better apartment than what I was looking for. John coordinated the offer and all other documents for the seller. After we agreed, then the whole team got involved, and there were tons of documents to provide and sign. John stayed on top of the whole process and also helped me with the Coop application and approval, which wasn't easy, but he made it easy for me. I believe that John is an excellent real estate agent, and I honestly cannot think of anything that could have been handled better. Not only did he get the job done without any issues, but he made it as painless as possible for me. He was always available if I needed anything and he was always polite, friendly, and with a smile, which felt like a VIP service. On the personal level, John is a very likable guy, full of positive energy, and I felt like I knew him for years. It was truly a pleasure doing business with John. If I am in need of a real estate agent in future, I will contact John Rotta again. read more

My husband and I had the immense pleasure of having John as our relator throughout our home search. From day one, John made us feel so comfortable with how personable and relatable he is.

Every time we flooded John with questions or concerns, he was always available and had an answer. Considering how stressful and emotional the home buying process can be, John worked tirelessly to ease those feelings every step of the way. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, always responsive and he consistently went above and beyond to make our experience a seamless one. One of the many things we appreciated about John was his extreme honesty, transparency, and attention to detail throughout the home buying process. We would recommend John to anyone and everyone that is looking to find their dream home. You cannot go wrong with him. In the end we ended up meeting not only an amazing realtor, but a great friend as well.

100 % Outstanding and diligent. A year ago we were looking for an apartment. Our previous real estate agent made the process more difficult than it was and after seeing several properties with her we felt very unhappy. I told my husband that we needed to find another agent before giving up. That was when we found John. We saw a property on Zillow and decided to call the listing agent (John). We were very impressed since our first phone call with him. He provided a detailed description of the property and asked exactly what we were looking for. During the process I became pregnant with my second child and finding a bigger apartment than our current one became a priority. We spent many months looking for what we really wanted and John made the whole process a smooth one. His patience is incredible and he has good connections with people in the business. Today we can say that we found our perfect apartment thanks to John.Thank you John for everything you did for us, we hope you will always be very successful, as you are. read more

John was my saving grace after looking for coops alone for years. I stumbled upon John at an open house and the chemistry was instant. His energy has been vibrant and exciting from the moment I met him. He is extremely knowledgeable about real state, specially coops in the Westchester area. John ran through my financials and painted a very clear image of what I could afford at the time. Once we had a clear vision we went to work! it was only a week later that we had received an accepted offer on a coop. He has been on top of everything front the beginning, keeping me updated and even lifting my spirits when things seemed out of our control. Thanks to John I was able to close on my first apartment and will be moving by the end of the month. He is extremely organized and personable. I would recommend John to anyone that crosses my path. Extremely grateful I was able to connect and work with him. Don't hesitate to work with John if you ever get the opportunity to. read more

John has been the best at helping me find my current home, especially as a first time home buyer.

John Rota is absolutely outstanding and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate salesperson.

John Rota helped us with our home purchase from finding the home all the way up to the closing. I don't think I would be able to go through the process without him.

He knows his business and aware of the events going on in the real estate market. He truly looks after the best interest of his clients. He is very professional, well mannered and friendly.

I highly, highly recommend John. After working with him on the sale of my co-op and the purchase of another one, I would not work with anyone else! He is super knowledgeable as he has been around the block many times. He educates and passes his knowledge onto you. He is honest, funny, dependable, patient, positive, excellent with follow-up and definitely goes above and beyond. When I had a problem with a leak in the ceiling of the place I was selling, he helped me through it and would go by the apartment to check on it when I was having trouble getting it resolved. He also sat down with me for 2 hours to help me complete a complicated co-op board application (I was accepted) that was driving me nuts. A real pleasure to work with and I have had my share of experiences with realtors! read more

Throughout the process, he was always available to answer questions and provide updates on the current real estate trends to help guide us through presented offers. He really made sure that buyers were qualified so that none of the parties were wasting their time. John will also give you advice on real estate lawyers that truly have your best interest.

What really stands out is that even after we bought the house, he's still helping us whenever questions come up. That kind of dedication is rare and shows he truly cares about his clients.
