I cannot stress enough how important it is to have the right fit when it comes to a real estate agent. After only 3 months of working with Brendan, he landed us our dream home in an impossible-to-get neighborhood in the height of the COVID housing battles. He was always extremely responsive and patient (we are high maintenance), worked quickly and always gave us great advice. He was always extremely professional and worked around our schedule. I cannot recommend him enough.

He consistently advocated for our best interests and helped secure a strong deal. What really sets Brendan apart is his building and home improvement knowledge -- he was able to spot potential issues with properties, explain potential renovations, help with design ideas, and provide practical insight that gave us a lot of confidence in our decisions. He's professional, knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone looking for a realtor who truly adds value.

He promptly set us up with his personalized real estate portal with the exact features that we desired. That was a big plus - it was easy and straightforward. In addition to the portal, Steve was so proactive that he even found us an off-market property in a safe area with a current tenant offering over 9% ROI. In summary, Steve is really organized. As soon as your bid is accepted, Steve makes the closing process easy. He built a timeline that made all the key dates very transparent. With that being said, we plan to work with Steve to build our investment property portfolio in the future!

My wife, kids and I have been looking for a home ever since COVID-19 started and with the tough…read morebuyers market, it has been a struggle to find the right home. We had been looking for 5 years and during all those years, Steve has been accommodating, proactive and patient with all of our needs in regards to our home search. I can't even count how many open houses or appointments we went with Steve. It's been exhausting all those years, but in the end it was all worth it because we finally found the perfect home for our family. We couldn't have purchased this home without Steve in-depth knowledge of the the real estate market and his personal care throughout the whole buying process. It has been a privilege to have worked with such an awesome agent as Steve - we really felt like we were being taken care of in our home search all those years. Looking forward to making new memories in our new home! Thanks, Steve!

This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.
