I was looking for a home in Islip, NY. I found a single home with Michele Best as the Real Estate…read moreAgent. I met with her looked at the home and signed the lease. After moving in , within 3 days my oil burner was making noise. I called a tech and he said not only was the burner loud but he condemned the boiler. It was in severe building code violation, when he called Michele she said no way she was going to tell owner to repair and to turn the unit back on. Tech refused and left. Fire Dept came out and said the same. Come to find out there is no Town Permit for a rental, it is an illegal rental, Had the Town come out and they called in Fire Marshall,Department of Health and Hazmat for an oil leak. Since the landlord chose to not fix the issue when we called , he ignored our texts and phone calls,. We have a disabled child living in the home with no heat or hot water. Michele and the landlord will be fined severely. Michele took our money , landlord is refusing to give back and she threatened to call CPS on me. STAY AWAY FROM ANY LISTING MICHELE IS OFFERING AT BEST DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE PROPERTY BEFORE YOU GIVE HER MONEY.

TL'DR: Dean is patient, informative, friendly, tenacious and hands on, and he is THE reason I was…read moreable to find the perfect home for my family and I in one of the most difficult home purchasing markets our generation has seen. It's taken way too long for me to post this review. Partially because I was swept up into the excitement of moving into my new home, which Dean was invaluable in helping me secure, but also because I'm still processing the end of the long, emotional and sometimes complicated home purchasing journey we just completed. I decided to start looking for a home to purchase for myself and my disabled mother in early 2023, and knew that I was entering a market that was complex and competitive, a search made even more complex by my accessibility needs for mom. What I didn't know was that the first step of finding a realtor would be the first hurdle to overcome. It took me months of being ghosted by realtors, being told my under $1 million budget wasn't high enough, or not liking the presented strategy (which was basically for me to find my own house and call them and pay their fee when it was time to put in an offer), before a chance encounter introduced my brother to Dean, and after one meeting I decided to work with him. From the day we began working together, Dean was patient, informative, friendly, tenacious and hands on, immediately sending me listings to begin to gauge my likes and dislikes. I won't say I'm difficult, but I am very particular, and as a first time homebuyer I also started with unrealistic expectations. This kicked off a year and a half of home searching, with Dean dedicating most of his weekends to taking us on house viewings, never getting impatient with the process or my newbie questions. I did put in several offers, but lost them all to higher or all cash bids. The market was just a nightmare, with one house I loved so much I offered $100k over asking on it, going to another bidder who when to $150k over. And this was amongst 20 bidders. Needless to say, it was an emotional and sometimes painful process. I went into it thinking I was a well qualified purchaser who would find a home as quickly and easily as they do on House Hunters, but I quickly found that despite my healthy salary, my downpayment as a first time home buyer was losing to people who had much more cash from selling their previous homes. At one point I even got discouraged and gave up, pausing the search for a few months, but when I called Dean ready to jump back into the fray at the beginning of this year, he didn't hesitate to continue helping me, and I ended up finding an amazing home that met all of my personal needs as well as all of my family's needs, including ada accessibility for my mother. Dean was instrumental in this deal closing, going above and beyond to find me a lender that would pre-write my loan so that I was competitive against cash offers, as well as my entire top notch closing team, from inspector to lawyer -- and yes I know most realtors have these connections that they push for a kickback, but I researched everyone Dean recommended and they were all best in class in their area. It is still surreal that I am officially a home owner after this long journey, and I have Dean to thank for carrying me through. I'd 100% recommend working with him.

The staff at Century 21 Princeton Properties could not have been any better, it was overall a great experience. The agent did not even mind when I tagged along to look at ALL the houses (and we saw a bunch). I was very impressed with the enitire office and really felt like they were listening to the input and adjusting the houses to find "the one". The agent was always looking out for thier best interest and I was impressed with the selection and styles of homes. She did not waste time by showing houses way out of the price range or anything that did not meet the "must haves" on thier checklist. After a few months of looking finally found the perfect house, the agent even reccomended a great lawyer and mortgage broker who made life much easier for them. I am planning on selling in the next year and will be using this brokerage. If you are in the market, selling or buying, I fully reccomend Century 21 Princeton Properties. You will not be dissapointed!!
