Robert Mariani is a personable and bad ass real estate sales guy. I had a property that had high HOA fees and it was old. Even with newer HVAC system, a major home feature, and fairly new appliances, new roof, and new paint, the property was going to be a tough sell in a moderately high interest rate period. He said that he had a high probability to sell within a short span of time versus my previous agent whom I was disappointed in for not selling even after 220+ days on the market. I knew my property was not undesirable because the homes in the neighborhood usually get into contract within 3 weeks! Robert said he would sell our place in a short period. I always believed a strong sales person was needed for this job; and though I was thinking about re-introducing it again in March 2026, Robert convinced me otherwise, so I listed with him in late January 2026. and SHAZAM! We had a buy contract after the FIRST week and it was listed higher than our previous final price in 2025 AND to gravy that off, he got us ANOTHER $5k over the new listing price. He did so well, we're going to have him sell our primary home when we move out of state. If you're thinking about selling, talk with Mariani first. read more
