My husband and I are brand new to the Albany area, having fled the crazy housing inflation of New England to come back to New York.
The Covid lockdown year was traumatic, realizing that we had to move was traumatic, packing up and saying goodbye was traumatic... but we were able to purchase a house here in Albany.
Even though we were cash buyers and willing to meet the seller's price, her attorney was weirdly combative and unaccommodating. There was a tiny typo on the title (could the hostile attorney have made a mistake? Heavens!) and we were very worried that our whole moving-in scenario was in jeopardy. A moving truck full of sweaty men was on its way, the cats were unhappily ensconced in a pricey hotel, we were completely stressed out...
And then Laura Marro from Messina and Cahill entered the scene. She was calm and professional, which was really very reassuring in the hot mess our simple closing had become. She hopped on her phone and in minutes the problem was resolved and we were signing on to our new adventure.
I would strongly advise anyone looking to close on real estate to rely on Messina & Cahill. Ask for them if you can, they saved the day for us! read more
