Mariann Matarese - Testimonials

Mariann is very knowledgeable in the process (which was hugely helpful, because we were not) and coached us through it every step of the way. Our house sold in 3 days and Mariann handled the multiple showings and collection of offers/negotiation masterfully. I very much appreciated her respectful yet matter-of-fact approach, and she was very thoughtful to my kids & I as well, understanding we were in a period of tough transition. I would recommend Mariann in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a skilled, experienced realtor!

But as we move along on the path to the closing, we begin to realize that the nature of the path to that bottom line may be even more important. It’s that path that we travel that determines how we feel at the close. These transactions spread out over weeks and usually months. And they are complex! So many things to consider, so many things to understand, so many doubts that pop up along the way. This ain’t no place for the novice to strike out on his or her own. And we didn’t. Few do. We were lucky to be led on that journey by our friend and neighbor, Mariann Matarese. She gave us great advice all the way through. She new the market well and helped us pick a selling price that would attract a significant number of offers. Enough offers that a competition would emerge thereby pressing the price higher. She new what had to be done to put the house in the condition that would make it most appealing to the buyers. She understood all those damn forms and was excellent at explaining what they meant. And she was fun to work with…..But even more important, at all times, she was professional and principled. The end result: a good “bottom line” for both buyer and seller and a relaxed feeling that resulted from knowledge that everything was done right. Thank you, Mariann.

She helped me prepare and supported me through the entire process. She was always professional, honest, and thorough. Thank you Mariann!

From start to finish she was wonderful! She advised us on staging our home, pricing our home correctly for the market and strategically showing our home. Selling a home after 23 years can be an emotional roller coaster. Mariann understands the meanings and memories a home holds and worked with us, as sellers, to navigate the ups and downs and make the smartest moves at the right time. In the end, we sold our home within the perfect time frame and at a very good price for the market! We could not have asked for a better real estate agent! We would recommend her without any hesitation.

I was extremely fortunate to have Mariann Matarese guide me through this difficult process. From our initial meeting she handled each step of the transaction with professionalism and extreme sensitivity. She initially invested a great deal of time to understand my needs and unique circumstance. She worked tirelessly to bring about a respectful and successful outcome. Her discriminating eye for staging and photography layout was the key to a fabulous eye catching listing that helped obtain a buyer quickly. I have only the highest praise for Mariann’s skill and dedication to her profession. She has an honest and true commitment to her clients and I am truly grateful to have chosen Mariann as my Realtor.

She provides great support in researching current value, working with buyer agents and her communications are clear. Mariann made it so easy to understand the process, resolve any concerns and achieve a valuable sale. A+++ highly recommend her!!

Mariann had great insight into the market and was extremely helpful guiding us through some unexpected curveballs that came up in the process. Would highly recommend Mariann for any real estate process as a buyer or a seller.

She is very nice and easy to work with. She helped us sell our house fast at a desirable price. I highly recommend her.

I can honestly say that since day one, Mariann made me feel at ease. Her knowledge, professionalism, staying in constant touch with me and reminding me of my "things to do" helped me continually see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is her first sale with me but it won't be her last. I look forward to dealing with her again in the future.

She handled both deals with superfast efficiency, really flawless execution, and outcomes that exceeded our expectations. A house purchase or sale is a big project, but Mariann supports you through it in every step. Working with Mariann was great! She brings a friendly and proactive nature, and is always on top of every detail, this makes the entire experience smooth and low-stress. A handful people we know first-hand went through the process with Mariann as well and we all agreed that she brings openness, diligence, and genuine care for their clients. We would choose Mariann again without hesitation.

We have found her to be knowledgeable, dependable and personable and , most importantly, honest. This integrity, along with a well rounded understanding of construction, local markets and the real estate business in general, have been a huge benefit to my wife and me. Thank you, Mariann!

Her marketing strategy was spot-on, and thanks to her efforts, we had multiple offers and sold within days— well over asking price! She guided us through every step of the process and kept everything organized and moving smoothly. Her professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference. We’re grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home. 5 Stars!

She is a very honest and caring person and is very deadline oriented. Working with Mariann was such a great pleasure! Thanks Mariann!

She explained the process every step of the way. She made the process very easy. I would highly recommend her and her team.

Mariann listed the condo and followed up with each showing. She negotiated the offer into a contract and followed up on the necessary appointments, inspections and paper work. Before I knew it I had sold my condo. We bought our home through Mariann and plan on using Mariann when we sell our home.

We bought our first house with her almost 10 years ago and when it came to reselling that home, I had no reservations about who I wanted to sell it! Mariann is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about the world of real estate and is STELLAR about making her clients feel important. She is with you every step of the way from beginning. This time though, she had to perform extra duties on my behalf, on account of the weekend we went to market, I had a considerable accident and became basically bed ridden. At a moments notice, Mariann was available to step in and help with what I needed. And while I was in the hospital, she secured me an offer that was $46,000 over asking. Just incredible. She is also one of the kindest and easiest persons to get along with. She takes an interest in her clients’ lives and I can truthfully say, I got a friend for life when Mariann was recommended to me….

Actually, the whole process of selling our home couldn’t have been easier with her guiding us. My family had just lost our mother and her house was the one for sale. Mariann’s confidence and expertise carried us through the many decisions to be made. She was professional, easy to communicate with, personable, patient and had a well thought out marketing plan for our situation. She was always available. We are very grateful to her and thankful she was our real estate broker. My family would recommend her. 5 stars.

She is super knowledgeable and provided expert guidance throughout the sales process. With her help we were able to sell our tenant occupied property for more than asking price with a closing date that met our schedule. She was on the ball throughout, providing guidance through a lengthy closing with periodic check-ins and reminders. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

She kept in close contact throughout the process and let us know what to expect every step of the way. She gave us reminders for our "to do" list, and reminders when we can expect information/action from the other side. We now use her to rent corporate housing and help new employees to the company who are relocating to the area; and everyone is very appreciative to have such an experienced expert!

From the very beginning when she reviewed the home we were selling, she made some suggestions based on her knowledge of the market and the buyers. Within a day of listing our home, we had multiple offers for over our asking price. She listened to our wants and needs, and helped us find our current home. She helped guide us through the negotiations and pointed out things we never even considered or were aware of. Buying and selling a home can be very stressful, but Mariann made it easy. She simplified the process and guided us through it, and was always just a phone call away. We HIGHLY recommend Mariann.

She consistently kept our best interests in mind throughout the process, was accessible and communicative. Would highly recommend her!

Thank you Mariann!

Her professionalism, communications skills and market expertise made selling our estate a smooth and stress-free process. She was always available to answer questions and provided us with up to date necessary steps to complete the process. I highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a house and would definitely use her service again.

Her market knowledge and guidance helped us secure an offer over asking price with a closing date that fit our schedule. She was proactive and organized, providing regular updates and keeping the process on track. I highly recommend Mariann to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable real estate professional.
