Raffaela was incredibly helpful and communicative in every stage of our buying process. Raffaella was responsive to every phone call and set up many visits during the difficulties presented by Covid-19. She is very friendly and outgoing and I would recommend her to any friends or family looking at real estate on Long Island. She also provided is with information on local contractors and child care providers.
Selling your house can be very stressful. Raffaela made the whole experience so much easier. I highly recommend Raffaela for your next sale or purchase!
Raffaela's expertise in the market and deal structure is a given. What separates her is the care and attentiveness she gave during our 3+ month search for a new home. She always made time for our calls, day or night, and devoted her time to being by our side at every showing. This includes entire weekend days seeing several listings in one day. She treated us with respect and honesty and knew how to acknowledge that this was the most important decision and investment in our lives at every stage of the search and closing.I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She's simply the best!
My wife and I bought our house this past summer and Raffaela was a HUGE help in making this happen. In the beginning I feel like we were all over the place wanting to look at houses in several different towns, multiple school districts, different types of houses, etc. Raffaela was able to get us to focus on the key things that we were looking for in our future home and made them a priority when seeking out appropriate opportunities for us. Once we narrowed our search to the town (Syosset and Plainview) and type of home (split) we really wanted it made the search much easier. Furthermore, at every house we looked at she always noticed things that we weren't paying attention to like the location from the highway or if the house was zoned for a different school district. Once we found our house she was able to negotiate the seller down 5% from the asking price which we would not have been able to afford the house otherwise. Her knowledge of the process and responsiveness was invaluable once we went to contract as she let us know what to expect and was extremely helpful in moving the process along without having to involve the lawyers. After the appraisal we needed bar guards removed from the basement windows as well as some documentation from the town and she was able to work with the other broker and seller of the home to have this done as to not hold up the closing. The biggest compliment I could give Raffaela is by the end of our search she felt more like a close friend or family member than our broker, I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
