There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

Johnel is as thorough and details-orientated as you would want him to be and has your best interests as a home-buyer in mind. EVEN THOUGH WE DIDNT USE HIM TO PURCHASE THE HOME he knew we are first time home buyers and took every opportunity to pause and explain what everything means. He showed us how to work the thermostat and alarm systems, gave us safety advice for storing items in our utility room, and was truly an advocate. His approach is almost scientific and his demeanor is professional. He is well-versed, knowledgeable, and fair. He was recommended to us by a friend who used him several years ago for a Certified Home Inspection and still held up to his reputation. His Property Condition Report was very detailed and easy to understand, and his price was reasonable compared to other estimates we got. We are grateful we hired Johnel as our home inspector for the purchase of our first home. We even used his recommendation for home owners insurance!

Apartment hunting is not easy. Prior to meeting Johnel, I was dreading the difficulties that go with moving on the Island. Working with him was an entirely new and positive experience. My boyfriend and I met him in Western Beef handing out his business cards and holding conversations with random shoppers. He was extremely friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable of the north shore neighborhoods. Unlike many realtors I'v dealt with in the past, I truly felt like he was genuinely dedicated in helping us find a place best suited for our lifestyles. I can't say enough positive things about Johnel. If you choose him you have made the right decision! UPDATE: Johnel is still the best! We most recently selected him to represent us again, as we are deciding to purchased our Downtown Staten Island home. It has been quite a while since we went through the buying process and Johnel is demonstrating his value yet again! He's so reliable, honest, dedicated and knowledgeable. OUR HERO!

I cannot put into words how thankful we were to have worked with Johnel on helping us sell our Elm Street home find and find a new one on Staten Island! From the very beginning, he was just on top of EVERYTHING. We had an initial sit down to talk about selling our Elm Street home and Johnel was very knowledgeable, polished and professional. He talked about his network of buyers which made us feel comfortable about our OVER half a million dollar asking price. For the new purchase he went over neighborhoods, our budget, etc. and he worked to put together a plan that felt so us, so personalized and yet so professional. He sourced homes for us to check out and it wasn't uncommon to me to receive emails from him in the middle of the night. He was also very much in tune with what our priorities were and convinced us to put our old home in contract first, then to go shopping for our new one, which was great advice! We accepted an offer in one week of our home being on the market, was in contract by the third and closed aprox. 47 days later with Attorney Andrew Klapper (...another STAR!). On top of everything else, Johnel sold us our new beautiful home. Besides his sharp professionalism and attention to detail, he brought personality, humor and levity to every single day, something that I appreciated so much. I guess it goes without saying, but Johnel will be our agent of choice for all of our future real estate endeavors.
