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.

I'm very afraid his business will suffer due to the recent class action that effectively eliminates the role of "Buyer's Agent". If the seller won't pay my agent, I'm going to be forced to cut him loose. That's how most folks think.

The worst business experience of my life, hands down. Tried to get a construction mortgage through…read moreHomestead. They began requesting documents, we would submit them and weeks would go by before we got updates, generally only after we asked for them. It took 7 months from first contact until we could close! At month 6.5 we were told that the longest building period they would give us was 8 months to build an entire custom home with a $5500 a month penalty for going over. They refused to give us a clause saying that time spent waiting for inspections and disbursements on their end wouldn't count towards the 8 months, even though every other thing they did took way longer than it was supposed to. Finally, they pressured us to close with 2 foot of snow on ground in middle of winter, and when I asked to postpone closing to spring they threatened us with "lots of fees". Finally, when we told them we wouldn't continue with them under these terms, they sent us a $105 bill for "adjustments" to costs of things that we already paid months ago. Do yourself a favor and use a real bank for your mortgage. Everything about the experience was head and shoulders better than with Homestead.

I had a horrible and stressful experience working with this individual Rick Solosky as well as his…read more"manager Peter Tull. First he'd reply to texts very quickly ( either from a boat or from lunch or from vacation never in his office) mainly why his answer never made sense or were half the answers or was gibberish and it appeared he responded without even knowing what he was writing and his answers made no sense. Even when communicating worthy he attorney via email his communication was a disaster and I had to ask him to correct. Mostly every time clarification was needed. Used copy/paste loan application from one property to another adding incorrect charges to the loan. At the end, he took 25% down when I had agreed to do 20% down. Processed the loan and as I informed over and over this was not what I had agreed to, his response was "this is what you signed". Loan types and details were not explained properly, he never picked up the phone to explain exactly what was going on, only pointing out the "advantages" of the loan. The incompetence and disregard is out of this world and sadly we ended up closing with them after all attorney and appraisal was done. After so many complaints with his work, I was referred to his so called "supervisor Peter" who was even more incompetent. They kept passing me from one person to another and each time the experience was worse! I definitely do not recommend. They are liars/misleading and they will lure into signing a loan where they present one thing but make you sign another. Be very aware because at the end, they will simply say that's what you signed. And they give you no option to go back or cancel.

We have lived here five and a half years, but are unable to leave right now due to finances. I've called the health department before, in addition to the code enforcement department JUST to get something fixed after contacting maintenance multiple times. When something arose again, it only took me threatening to call the health dept to get them here bc they knew I would do it. Right now I'm handling our right to know the banking info for our security deposits. I'm getting the run around on something they should have the info about as soon as I ask. For anyone who isn't aware, ANYONE who rents is supposed to have their security deposit placed in an interest bearing savings account separate from the landlord/property managers money. You are to be given the name and address of this bank, which HAS to be in NYS. You are also to be given the account number so you can keep track of the activity of the account. You are to be given this information within 14 days of paying your security deposit, which can ONLY be the equivalent of first months rent, not first and last months rent. So yeah, Maddalone has broken a MULTITUDE of NYS tenants rights, and I am on the road to making it right for myself and all the tenants in my complex.
