I've worked with numerous real estate agents over the years, across three different states as I've bought and sold investment properties and helped with my parents' transaction. Michelle's diligence, knowledge of the market, and remarkable patience with a challenging transaction was superlative. She also provided excellent coaching during negotiations. Most important, Michelle was active and attentive throughout the process, and showed sensitivity and excellent communication skills with my aging parents as they navigated the sale of a home they'd owned for almost 50 years. You won't find a residential RE agent more qualified or as capable as Michelle.

We spoke to several banks, but it was always the same thing with them, they were trying to sell us something we were not looking for. Then one evening we found Sun Mortgage Company and read all the reviews. The next morning, we called Sun Mortgage Company and spoke to Don Rizzo. We told Don what we were looking for and he explained how the process works. After filling out the online application, we were all set to move forward. I was expecting a similar process to what the banks would have put us through but WOW, I was wrong! Before reaching out to Sun Mortgage Company we had attempted to go through our previous lender and other financial institutions, but they made it impossible. We were always talking to a different representitive each time and had to start over due to lack of information they had on their end, which meant starting the process over. This was fustrating!! Don Rizzo made this process quick, easy and painless. In just a short amount of time after supplying him with some of the documents he had requested, he found us the perfect loan and excellent rate to refinance our home. Once we had agreed on the loan and rate, Don was even able to get us in touch with a local law firm to handle the closing. This was one of the best loan experiences we have been through. We will be using Don Rizzo from Sun Mortgage Company again in the future. Thank you again Don.

There were some repairs that needed to be made per the underwriters but once those were handled everything was smooth sailing. Always in communication, and if we weren't able to answer a call, there was an email from Don almost immediately afterwards. Would definitely recommend anyone on the area work with Don if you're looking for financing.

She also claimed the house as her residence so she could send her daughter to Wallkill School District, and not Newburgh. Turns out she had no authority to rent the property in the first place. Called Hudson Valley Home Connections and they said that it was not their problem and that she was fired from her last job. She knew her worker committed multiple counts of fraud and saw it as "not her problem". When I left an initial review they called the Town of Newburgh Police to have it taken down. Needless to say, stay away!

Here's a new one for you, I am writing this review for the seller's agent for the home I just…read morepurchased! I know, that almost never happens but you almost never meet such a helpful and warm opposing agent in real estate. Now, don't get me wrong, Melissa has her seller's best interest at heart and at the forefront but that understood, she is a very caring, patient, helpful and real person to deal with. I had a situation that was very frustrating at times and part of what even calmed me down enough to see the deal through was this very helpful and kind woman. She's even gone as far as to leave us a welcome card after the deal was done and we'd begun to move in. It's the little things and the after thought that counts. A great negotiator and a stellar agent, I will be looking to buy again in the future as rental properties and Melissa will be my first call! Whether you're buying or selling, this is who you need!

Not only did she manage to sell our home for more than my next door neighbor, but was able to negotiate with the buyers for LESS credit at closing the table, all while the buyers kept pushing for way more unreasonably. She helped with clean out resources, and other networks. Whenever we needed anything in the process, she was there to help and that was by far an outstanding unique quality of hers compared to others that prolong or put a dead end to real estate goals in todays horrible market. She was easy to work with, a professional in her field, adaptive, and an effective communicator. We totally recommend Gloria Luciano for any real estate needs, buy, sell, or rent. Thank you so much for your help! It was a pleasure for us to work with you.

It was our first time working with a contractor to do some major renovations in an old farmhouse we purchased, and as anyone reading this knows, it is very hard to meet a dependable contractor. While Mario/ Salazar Family Construction is younger than most contractors you may meet, don't let this fool you. He has worked in the industry for many years and has a family full of people in the industry. We had a gut feeling on our initial meeting that he was a good guy and we were right. He has the experience. We started working with him on a gut reno for our bathroom and then our kitchen, and he did an excellent job on both. He is able to deal with issues that come up during construction smoothly. Mario made sure we were happy each step of the way. We will continue to work with him on our many projects upcoming and we whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an honest and reliable contractor. As a matter of fact, he is now starting renovation for our friends kitchen in CT. Thank you Mario!

He introduced to me the equally phenomenal Sruthi Gaddam and offered his advice every moment that I needed. My living situation in my house at the time was a uniquely difficult one to navigate, and thankfully, I had Mikey and Sruthi with me the whole time. Mikey helped me capture what I needed in a sale and also helped me make sure that I wouldn't make a bad decision that would potentially hurt me in the long run. After a horrible experience two years prior with the realtor for the purchase of my house, having Mikey for the sale of it was incredibly refreshing and different. I am so thankful to have met with him, and even now, I know that he'll be around when I'm ready for my next purchase.
