I recently hired an agent from Gucciardo Real Estate Group, Guiseppe Tropiano, to sell my house in…read moreAlbany and had an absolutely terrible experience with him. He disregarded all of my requests and broke clear agreements which had been made before hiring him. He was aggressive and applied maximum pressure and threats to get his way, which a sales price far below the true market price. He was only after a quick buck without doing any work. Beware of this guy. Do not trust him. A company is only as good as the people they hire and Guiseppe's behavior is a reflection of the culture of Gucciardo Real Estate Group. You have been warned. This is a true review from an actual verified customer.

In my opinion, the way my transaction was handled felt dishonest, unprofessional, and completely lacking transparency. I left the process feeling misled and taken advantage of. Communication was inconsistent, important details were not disclosed, and the overall experience caused me significant frustration and financial concern. I would never buy or sell a property with this company again. I believe their practices should be looked into by the state for possible violations. This was my personal experience, and I hope it helps others make an informed decision.

From day one, they were patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my many questions. I never once felt like a bother. They took the time to explain everything clearly. Their advice on pricing, staging, and marketing was spot-on, and thanks to their strategy, we had strong interest right away. When offers came in, they walked me through every detail and helped me negotiate the best possible outcome. I never once felt like I was on my own. I'm so thankful to have had so much help navigating this process for the first time. They kept me informed, stayed ahead of every deadline, and truly made me feel like I had a team.

Well, finally, we were ready. I called Jim up and he enthusiastically was ready to help us find our first home! He listened to our wants and needs and started making appointments to show us the houses available. Once we found our dream home, fairly quickly I might add, he walked us through the entire process. We ended up in a bidding war, but he was able to get our offer approved by using a strategy of offering $1000 over the highest bid up to a specified amount. IT WORKED. He was there for the inspections and was always just a text away. He even stopped by recently to see how things were going. At closing, he gave us a nice bottle of champagne to celebrate! If it wasn't for him, we would not be enjoying this beautiful place we now call home! Thanks JIM!

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!

In response to Lorenzo's reply:…read more Yes, you are correct, Lorenzo. My expectation as a buyer was that I was getting an "A Team" of support and guidance. Being that we were not from around here, we were going off of your professional recommendations. My mistake.

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.

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.

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.
