I can't speak highly enough of Julia as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge,…read morehonesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. As you know, house buying is very stressful in this market. Julia was awesome in finding homes that match our requirements and she was also quick in arranging showings upon request. She never pressured us to buy anything that we didn't like or hesitate. She offered her opinion when I asked. Also, she helped me to consider things I hadn't thought of. Her knowledge, patience and explaining things are her greatest strengths as a realtor. After we found the right house, the process went so smoothly with her exceptional assistance. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I'll definitely reach out to Julia in the future and I recommend her to all my friends and family!

We will definitely call her again if we need realty services in future.

Cole Thompson was the best! I spoke with many real estate brokers during my search for a first…read moreapartment, and Cole was by far the most knowledgeable about the area and also the kindest. He was calm and patient, responding to all of my emails in a timely manner. When the deal got a little bit bumpy, he was calm. He was never pushy about what sort of apartment I should buy, and he did not try to push my budget into a range that made me uncomfortable. Some of the realtors I met with were not respectful of my budgets or needs as a single female trying to buy my first home. I highly recommend Cole for any home purchases in the Inwood area, which he knows (and respects) better than anyone.

I listed and sold a home with Gateway Realtors in Hasbrouck Heights, and must say that it was the…read moreworst sales experience I have ever had. I have bought and sold several homes using a realtor, so I am very familiar with the process. I listed the home with Eddie Norman Narvaez, a new agent that moved here from Florida. He has to be the laziest agent in the industry. I was promised an open house, and never had one. I had repeatedly asked Eddie to schedule the open house, but he was reluctant. It is my belief that he did not want another agent to sell the house, and that he wanted to keep the entire transaction in his office. This had severely limited the amount of exposure we received for the property. Communications with Eddie has been very poor as well. He would not return email, phone calls or text messages. I would send him very specific questions, but would never receive a response. On the very rare occasion that he would respond, I would receive a canned response that I need to speak with my attorney, even though it was Eddie's job to follow up on the issues at hand. Due to the limited property showings that we did have, we only received one offer, which was from one of his clients. It was at this point that I contacted the agency's owner, Mary Ellen Courtney. I expressed my concerns to her in regards to Eddie's lack of response, not having an open house, and Eddie referring me to my attorney for questions he should have been handling. Mary Ellen stated that she would speak with Eddie, but nothing changed. Mary Ellen seemed to be inconvenienced with my concerns, even though she's the owner of the office. Once we accepted the offer, Eddie was non-existent. He dropped the ball on following up with the client regarding the mortgage, home inspection, town CO inspection, homeowners insurance, etc. Every time I had asked Eddie about the status of these items, he referred me to my attorney. He refused to make any contact with his client to move the sale along. He has the idea that once the listing is taken, that his job is over. He has no concept of how to handle a real estate transaction, and should not be working in this field. Eddie never mentioned to us that the buyer's mortgage fell through. The mortgage commitment date had passed by for two weeks, and Eddie never thought to mention this to me. I became very concerned at this point and requested that the house still be shown, as the buyer was having a problem obtaining a mortgage. My email and phone calls to both Eddie and Mary Ellen went unanswered. After at least a week, I finally spoke with Mary Ellen over the phone, and she so rudely told me that I was bothering her, and that she was spending time with her family! This is her business, but she does not want to speak with her customers? Eddie never informed the buyers that they needed to schedule a home inspection, or start the homeowners insurance process to get the necessary paperwork for the closing. He also did not set up the CO inspection, so I had to pay an extra $100 to get a last minute CO inspection from the town, since it was requested within three days of the closing. Again, I brought my concerns to Mary Ellen, but she did not want to get involved. She mentioned that when she hired Eddie, he seemed like a nice guy, and seemed like he knew what he was doing. But yet, she still did not want to get involved in the many problems that plagued this transaction. Bottom line, DO NOT trust the purchase or sale of your home with Eddie, Mary Ellen, or anyone else at Real Living Gateway Realtors in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. They are by far the worst real estate company I have ever dealt with. If you are looking for a hassle free, professional transaction, you should definitely look elsewhere. Don't be fooled by their presentations and BS. All they want is their commission, and don't want to work for it at all. A real estate purchase or sale is one of the largest transactions a person will have in their lifetime. It requires professionals that know what they are doing, and work on your behalf to ensure that it goes smoothly, and that they have your best interests in mind at all times. Be very careful when a realtor avoids having an open house, and when offers are only coming in from realtors within that office alone. Some realtors will do whatever they can to keep your listing in their office, and avoid cooperating with other agencies. If you experience similar problems with Gateway Realtors, demand that they cancel the listing contract, and file a complaint with the Board of Realtors. What they have done in my transaction is unethical, and highly unprofessional. Avoid this agency and look elsewhere. You'll be glad you did!

Many surveys listing the most stressful events in life have buying or selling a home at the top of…read morethe list. My family combined buying a new home, selling an old home, starting two new jobs, having one child driving across the US to Oregon, and planning a wedding for another child. I have to say that Diana Gould made buying a new home the least stressful of those events. She shepherded us through the process and got us to the promised land of new home ownership. Thanks to Diana's patience and familiarity with the area we found a home that really combined the features and location that we wanted. Note that I didn't say we knew what we were looking for in our new home. This took a lot of give and take, and I think Diana put all of our input and put our vision of what we wanted together before we did. If patience is a virtue, then Diana is a saint. We experienced just about every eventuality possible, including having a seller cancel a contract. We weathered these situations and Diana helped us smoothly interface with other agents, brokers attorneys. She is a great negotiator and very well-connected throughout Western Connecticut. I have to say that I also appreciate that she is always ready to go - we ended-up finding our home the first day it was on the market and Diana made it happen in short order. Diana was strongly recommended by a family member and is like a member of our family now. She referred us to several home improvements professionals as well that did a great job for us. I can't adequately express my gratitude for her assistance or my appreciation for her dedication. After a career in the military during which I moved 14 times, Diana is simply the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I recommend her without hesitation as an experienced professional who will go the extra mile to help you find your new home or sell your old one.

And I have to report that we have done it, and loving our new home in Norwalk. Looking back at the entire journey - I have to say that the best thing that happened to us then was that we worked with Diana. We have seen so many homes and Diana has been very responsive every time we wanted to see one - she always made time for us. She is a great listener and really hears what your needs and concerns are. She is very tactful. She gives you advice when asked for one, and knows when to step back to give you time to think things through on your own. She finds positive in every situation and is funny and delightful to work with. She is a great negotiator and always has your interest at heart. She is a kind and honest person - and if you are not happy, she will not rest until you are. Diana is well connected within Fairfield County - her referrals for financing and home improvements proved to be very valuable. To us, Diana embodies the best of real estate industry, and is the consummate professional. Not only did we obtain the home we love, we also made a great friend in Diana Gould.

Success at Trebach Realty! My husband and I recently moved…read moreto Riverdale from Manhattan so that we could have more space and be in close proximity to schools. We had gone to other 2 agencies prior to Trebach and were really given the run around. It was very discouraging. We had our specifications and the other agencies showed us every but what we wanted. Trebach Realty was a breath of fresh air. They are a family business which we later found out were a staple to the neighborhood. We dealt with Pamela Trebach (the daughter). She keyed in on exactly what our needs were. She showed us 10 properties over a period of weeks that were in our price and Bingo! We found a beautiful colonial home. The prior owners lived there for 35 years. The house has great bones and we are in the process of slowly renovating it. We feel that Trebach Realty was "meant to be".
