We are first-time home buyers and we were not in a rush buying a house. Colleen was patient and helped guide us into finding a house that best suited what we wanted. Not only that, but she was able to negotiate and convince the sellers to accept our offer in a competitive neighborhood. She was wonderful in explaining some jargon and the process of buying a house. Colleen also made sure our communication needs are met by texting, e-mailing, or writing via paper and pen - as well as accommodating to our busy schedule! In addition, having a realtor starting tours with a smile and a cheerful personality is a bonus! Thanks Colleen!

I was looking at apartments to rent to no avail. Mary Ann suggested exploring the possibility of buying a home instead. She showed me homes in my desired area and at my price range. She connected me with a fantastic lender and attorney and with her help and that of her assistant the transaction was seamless. They went above and beyond what was necessary. She explains the process thoroughly and answers questions and calls in a very timely manner. I would recommend Mary Ann Uhrenholdt to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home.

Colleen was truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish for the sale of our home. With the added layers of COVID-19 protocols necessary in the real estate industry today, Colleen embraced all regulations, and worked with us initially over Facetime to take a tour of our home. Colleen was always responsive in a very timely manner, offered great suggestions for the listing and staging of our home, and went above and beyond during the showing of our home, and offered guidance and insight when talking through our MULTIPLE offers! We would highly recommend Colleen for any of your real estate needs. Thank you, Colleen, for making the selling of our home enjoyable and stress-free!

First I want to thank Ms. Sheila for all her support and patience with us especially during our home buying process. She was always available with a listening and encouraging ear. She and her team provided must needed support during a process that was new to us and in her own soft voice provided direction and resources. I would recommend her team to anyone especially those who are purchasing first property! #TeamVernado

If your looking for an honest, hard-working, dedicated, and knowledgeable agent then Bonnie is your lady! She made my home buying process so enjoyable! Bonnie was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! I had so many questions and concerns, especially in this year's crazy market. Plus, this is my first time purchasing a home. Bonnie always picked up my calls and/or returned my calls quickly and answered all my questions. She was always honest and upfront. She listened to what I needed and was looking for and set up viewings of homes that fit. We found our dream home and could not be happier. As soon as we closed, I referred my son to Bonnie, and know he is also getting ready to close on his dream home!

Bonnie, thank you so much for all of your hard work in helping me secure my first home! From quickly responding to my inquiry, to pointing me towards other quality people (lender, attorney, inspector); your professionalism helped the entire process run very smooth. I was half-expecting purchasing a home to be much more chaotic. Anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying the place now and I will certainly keep you in mind for any future real estate needs.

I have known Bonnie for many years and when I asked her to sell the property when my uncle passed she was there with me from start to finish. She reviewed the comps in the neighborhood and listed the property in what she thought it would sell for. I valued her knowledge and she made sure we did what was needed to sell the property. Was great working with her. I would definitely recommend her.

I found Bonnie to be very knowledgeable and professional in her approach. We were selling and buying a property at the same time, and Bonnie handled both transactions flawlessly. She has a wonderful personality, and was always very prompt in returning my phone calls. If you choose Bonnie as your agent, you will have made a great decision.

Where to begin Bonnie was there for us every step of the way. She went above and beyond to be there even though we were not her only clients. She was there for us no matter what time it was or which day. Anxiety comes with buying a house and she literally took that out of the experience. Reassuring us things would be fine(and they were) gave us confidence in her. This is our third home and I have to say if anything, this was the best experience dealing with the whole house buying situation. I highly recommend talking to her if you're selling or buying.

We couldn’t of been happier with Linda and the buyer in our experience. Linda was very fair and honest and communicated to us all the time. She helped us through the entire process and was very knowledgeable every step of the way from listing, to showing the property, to all the required paperwork and working with the lawyers and the buyer, and finally to closing.
We can’t wait for her to be our realtor if we ever buy or sell our house in the future!"

Selling a home can bring forth a lot of emotions – especially for elders who are downsizing. The roller coaster of emotions are real and sometimes it’s just not easy. “Not easy” sums up the situation my family and I were in when we asked Linda Kehoe to list the home of our Aunt and Uncle: ages 89 and 92.
While we had been telling my Aunt and Uncle that it was in their best interest to move, they were very hesitant about letting go of the home they shared together and loved for many years. At our first meeting with Linda, (without our aunt and Uncle), we explained that they weren’t completely sold on the idea of moving, but that a move was imminent – and long overdue. The turning point came when Linda sat down with us all. Rather than asking the family what their thoughts and concerns were, she asked them. And she listened; I mean really listened to their concerns. Linda addressed each concern that they had. While, we the family knew that selling the house needed to happen as soon as humanly possible, Linda was patient and wanted them to come to that conclusion on their own so they would be comfortable with their decision. It worked.. I can’t express how grateful we are to have had Linda helping us and could not have done it without her! Her kindness, compassion and ability to know what’s needed (and when) is something that got us all through. Linda has an amazing way with people and I found her to be especially wonderful with elders, which was paramount in our situation.
Linda is excellent at communicating; she kept us very informed; she’s well-organized and passionate about helping people. I can go on and on but suffice it to say that the next time someone is looking to list their home, Linda will be my one and only recommendation! Linda - from the bottom of our hearts - thank you!!

It was a pleasure to work with Linda to help my mother buy her new home. We stopped by on the spur of the moment at a house she was showing and ended up buying the home!
She was pleasant, kind, knowledgeable about the home and the process of negotiating and buying the home. She kept in touch frequently with answers to our questions and was full of useful and helpful information throughout the whole process. We would work with her again anytime! Source: realtor.com

I consider Bonnie "my Realtor for life" ! Bonnie represented me twice on the buying side in the last 3.5 years and as a former Realtor from another State, I can honestly say, Bonnie has taught me so much more. It's hard to be brief writing this review so I will highlight a few of the many qualities Bonnie possesses. First and foremost Bonnie is an expert! Highest level of excellence from start to finish! Work ethic second to none! My last search for a home started with three options of the type of home I was looking for. Bonnie was patient as we looked at many properties and competed against many buyers in a tough real estate market at that time. Bonnie was recovering from shoulder surgery and still kept working hard for me. One day she had her neighbor give her a ride to meet me at a house I was interested in because she could not drive while recovering. The very next day I wanted to thoroughly inspect the home before making an offer and her husband drove her and they waited a long time while I inspected the home. I almost didn't put in an offer on the one I now own and love. My opinion was that the property was going to sell higher and Bonnie said it doesn't hurt to put in an offer so I did and the Sellers accepted. Bonnie stated persistence pays off and wow was she right because we nailed a great deal on a great home. I could not be happier!

I decided to use Colleen as she sold my neighbor's house in a short time after it had sat for an extended period (w/ a different agent). Colleen is very professional and personable at the same time. She is sensitive to the needs and details of the individual and the property. She provided an honest and realistic assessment of my property and presented it with written description and pictures that would make me want to buy it again! The nicest thing I could say about Colleen is that I would without hesitation, recommend her to a friend, which I have already done and would gladly do again. Working with Colleen has to be the best real estate experience that I have had!

I already had a buyer for my house and needed to find a small ranch that was close to grandchildren and available immediately. The house also needed to be in good condition. Bonnie not only found a ranch but helped with some unusual sale negotiations. My new house is great - Thank you to Bonnie Pagano.

“This was our first time house hunting, we wanted to be sure we weren’t getting taken advantage of. Mary Ann Uhrenholdt made us feel safe and confident in our decisions. Mary Ann went above and beyond to ensure we could compare all of our options within our relatively short time window. She was open and honest throughout the whole process and truly went beyond our expectations. We plan on recommending her to anyone we know who’s unsure how to find a home”.

Mary Ann was absolutely amazing. She was available day and night. We looked at several beautiful homes in several counties throughout NY State. With Mary Ann's determination and patience it was her that found the perfect forever home for my family.
Thank you Mary Ann Uhrenholdt and Empire Realty Group for all of your help finding my family's forever home! Mary Ann is an exceptional real estate agent and I would recommend her to anyone.

Dean was a phenomenal real estate agent. My partner and I bought our first home with Dean’s support! He was responsive to all of our needs, answered all of our questions, professionally recommended stakeholders to work with, explained and helped us handle all of the paperwork, and and had a keen eye for the quality of each house we looked at- quick to get down on his hands and knees and look at every nook and cranny. His level of knowledge of homes, the city of Rochester, and the market made it seamless for us to find and successfully purchase the perfect home just for us! We highly recommend Dean to anyone in the Rochester area looking to buy a new home!

We want to thank Bonnie Pagano, from Empire Realty Group for finding us a home. We moved to Penfield from Southern California in September. Bonnie was able to setup viewing of 10 homes , in a short time, as I only had 72 hours to work with. All of the homes were what we were looking for. She was amazing as she knew what we were looking for, with only some picks from the internet that we gave her, over the phone. Bonnie had great knowledge of the neighborhoods with all the good and bad points of the areas. Bonnie guided us through the purchase and paperwork that goes with home buying. She has been wonderful in the follow up and very helpful with questions we had. We would highly recommend Bonnie for selling or purchasing a home.

It’s hard to believe that it’s coming up on 4 years since we’ve been in the house! I have so much to be thankful for and you are included in that. I can’t even begin to thank you enough for keeping the faith in me even when it seemed bleak (for me). I remember saying that I would never own a home and you told me that you would stay with me until that reality comes into fruition. I sing your praises to everyone I know when they start talking about their realtor horror stories. I think they become envious of me because it was so easy with you. I don’t know about other realtors because you were the first and I guarantee you, you are the only realtor EVER for me. I could go on yakking forever about how grateful I am but I know you got things to do! Let me just say once more and again THANK YOU LINDA for keeping the faith for me.

Firstly, I would like to thank Sheila Varnado from Empire realty group. During these trying times, I decided to purchase my home. Sheila stood by my side through the entire home purchasing process. She kept me encouraged when at times I was ready to give up. Sheila is an extremely knowledgeable realtor and was available to answer any questions or concerns I had; Sheila always made me feel comfortable and that it was always about me. I never felt pressured, and she was always honest. Sheila made home buying fun and less complicated. I’ve learned a lot about real estate because of Sheila and I would totally recommend her if you’re considering purchasing a home. I am 100% satisfied with my new home and I’m so glad I had Sheila Varnado as my realtor. Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,

Jim & Cheryl, thanks for the gorgeous arrangement you sent us. It was totally unnecessary, but we are enjoying it very much.

When it became time to sell my parents house of 64 years I wanted to try and be sure that I got the best real estate agent possible. As it turned out I hit the jackpot when Linda agreed to be my agent. Great digital presence, great communicator, knowledgeable, and thorough. She was able to get numerous offers within a day of the initial listing ultimately ending up with a quick sale at more than $6,000 over the asking price. During the negotiation process she was tough when she needed to be tough and softer when that was required . She competently and confidently steered me successfully through the sometimes confusing process of a real estate transaction. Thank you Linda for everything!

We worked with Dean over several months as we honed our idea of what to buy. He is a well-qualified professional realtor and a helpful, considerate, patient person.

My wife and I met Linda at an open house about 3 months ago. Linda immediately made us feel that she truly cared about finding the right home for us. She listened to what we were looking for, asked us about our current and longer range plans and then followed up immediately with some potential homes to view. If we found a home to look at, Linda would set up, if not that day, the next day to tour the home. Surprisingly, the home we bought in Webster through Linda was purchased while we were in Florida. Linda coordinated all the needed activities from an initial FaceTime with us to view the home, to final coordination and communication between the real estate office and the mortgage company.
We returned from Florida on October 31st and closed on our new home November 1st. In summary, Linda was professional, knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to our needs. She not only cared about you finding your perfect house, she cared about you as a person. We believe we have found a friend for life!
Thank you, Linda.

As a first time home buyer, I was completely unfamiliar with the whole process. I only expected one thing: to be overwhelmed. But that did not happen. Michelle took the time to explain to me what was happening and why throughout the entire process. I truly felt like her only client with all the attention she dedicated to me. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family, and I will be using her again when it comes time to sell! Thanks again Michelle!

When we first looked to hire a real estate agent and we sat down with Colleen, we knew within 10 minutes that she was the right person to help us find our new home and sell each of our two houses. She carefully listened to our needs and wants and immediately went to work. Although we had been looking for a new place ourselves for several months, Colleen brought her full complement of resources and rather quickly found us a new home. She then helped us sell our two places. She went above and beyond with our listings, which showed with the potential buyer interest and very quick sales. My place sold during the Covid-19 crisis in just 3 days thanks to Colleen's market awareness and overall real estate knowledge. I couldn't be happier with how Colleen helped us, and I highly recommend her to help you find your new home.

I have worked with Mary Ann on two separate occasions and both have been extremely impressive. I tell her what we are looking for and she finds homes in a very timely manner. We get right in to see them which is important because of the way the industry is right now.(if you wait it's gone). She prepares offers timely, gives us direction on the best strategy which is working perfectly.
If you want a realtor that works hard for you both as a buyer and seller she is it.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Bonnie Pagano regarding my recent home purchase in Fairport NY. Bonnie is exceptional in taking care of her clients. It is obvious that she loves what she does and even more obvious that it is of utmost importance to her that she help her clients find exactly the home that they will love. She tirelessly puts all her time and energy into home shopping with her clients. She is always available and makes you feel that you are her top priority. She is attentive to what you are looking for in a home and goes out of her way to make it happen. She is extremely knowledgeable in each and every aspect of the home purchasing process and makes the transition effortless and as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Bonnie for your home purchase - she's the best!

Colleen helped me find the perfect house for me. I wanted to be near the lake in Canandaigua which I quickly discovered was beyond my means. I almost gave up and reverted to buying in Rochester where I lived at the time but she found a perfectly sized home for me with lake access, that not only is adorable but affordable for me. Colleen knew I wasn't a huge fan of basements or attics and somehow found me a bungalow with neither, but plenty of storage in the 2 sheds. Bonus, it has a hot tub. Colleen is thorough, smart, hard working and adapts her schedule to your needs at a moment's notice. She is persistent and encouraging throughout the (naturally) stressful process of selecting and purchasing a home. I highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for the perfect home!

Working with Bonnie was a pleasure. We loved getting the daily emails with new listings. We found our house the day it was listed before it showed on any of the real estate web sites that we were following. It was a blessing to have meet Bonnie at her open house. We had been looking for months on our own. After having her as our realtor we found our house in 3 weeks. She goes above and beyond for her clients to find them the house they will love.

My husband and I chose Bonnie Pagano for our realtor based on her knowledge, her understanding of our needs, and for her sense of adventure. We were seeking a fixer-upper farmhouse with a barn and some land - within a relatively modest budget. We knew we had a tall, unusual order in this day and age. We also knew that Bonnie was the perfect woman for the task. Despite a lengthy search, Bonnie never gave up on us or our dream. In fact, she was the one to notice that one interesting property in particular dropped significantly in price which allowed us to swoop in and purchase it! We are in love with our historic homestead and can't wait to invite her to our first barn dance!

My wife, Dianne and I were privileged to know and work with a professional with the excellent qualities of Bonne Pagano. We had less than four days to make this deal and Bonnie's knowledge of the area and properties available, expertise in the workings of the current market and advice on making an "excellent" offer to the seller certainly facilitated our successful acquisition of this home. She even did a virtual video tour of both the home and neighborhood while we watched from our house here in East Aurora. We then met at the inspection and all concerns were promptly related to the HOA. Finally, she personally led us to the lawyers office in an area that was then unfamiliar to us. That we were totally pleased with Bonnie is a total understatement. She is a great professional and a credit to her profession.

Linda was awesome to work with selling my home. She provided sound advise and offered support every step of the way. There were a couple things she suggest I do before listing and she helped me to get these things done by calling contractors and advising me without being pushy.
In the end my house sold very quickly and I actually got more than I expected.
I would recommend Linda Kehoe without any reservation to family, friends or anybody looking to sell a home. Thank you, Linda.

Because our house was priced right, thanks to Bonnie Pagano she sold our house in one day!!! The experience was calm and enjoyable. Bonnie was communicative throughout the entire experience. Though we are never moving again, if We were she would be our first and only choice!!!me immediately. She always provides spreadsheets and market analysis so I know I'm making the best decisions. I highly recommend her!

Bonnie sat down with us and showed us a workup of several houses in the neighborhood that had sold within a few months of our meeting. She explained how she came up with our selling price. She told us what her strategy was to listing and showing the house on the real estate site and made suggestions for presentation of the interior and exterior of the house.. She was a pleasure to work with. Answered all our questions. Very professional, yet down to earth. We would recommend her.

Finding and purchasing a house, especially in this current market, can be a daunting experience. Bonnie Pagano took the fear out of purchasing a home. Bonnie Pagano walked us through the process, quelled our fears, and answered our questions. Bonnie was easy to talk to. She listened. And, she had the working-knowledge and realtor savvy to guide us through the house-hunting process and land a sale quickly. Her focus was always centered on our best interest. And we got the house of our dreams. Thank you, Bonnie for making our home purchase a pleasant experience.

If you want a knowledgeable, thorough and level-headed agent to sell your home, I would highly recommend Michelle. Her responsiveness to my needs was terrific and she worked well with family members from out of state. She navigated effectively through some unanticipated issues when they arose and partnered well with other agents and attorneys. I would definitely use Michelle if I were to sell a home again.Thanks again for all your support during the sale process of my mother's home. You were great!

Miss V (Sheila) truly made our home shopping and buying experience a breeze. She was able to help us find the home of our dreams. With her plethora of resources from attorney's to mortgage lenders, Miss V was able to help us close on a home in a reasonable even with the holidays approaching. She was always available even for my late night or early morning calls ready to answer any questions or concerns my wife and I had. Miss V will definitely be my go to realtor when we're ready to purchase our next property.

Linda represented us in our home sale and we couldn't be happier. In our opinion, she deserves an A+ in the skills you'd expect in the realtor you choose to work with, while going above and beyond to provide support in any way possible including advising us on the daunting task of downsizing (raising two children in our home for 26 years = lots of "stuff").
We especially appreciated Linda's integrity and genuineness in the way she treated everyone she came in contact with. Bottom line ... our partnership with Linda to devise a strategy for staging, pricing etc. led to a successful sale!

My family and I were put in a horrible predicament and faced the challenge of finding a new place to live quickly after renting for 13 years. I stumbled across Bonnie Pagano. I now know what a tremendous gift and blessing this was! Bonnie made our dream of purchasing our first home come true! Bonnie was there whole heartedly for us. She went way above and beyond her job responsibilities. Bonnie fielded calls and texts from me any time of day or night and always completed tasks in a very swift and efficient manner as well as professionally. Bonnie is a perfect example of what anyone would hope to find in a Realtor! THANK YOU SO MUCH BONNIE!!!!

Colleen was excellent in navigating what proved to be an extensive real estate transaction when I bought our lakeside cottage. She was timely and responsive and was really creative in helping "get the deal done!" There were all sort of hoops that had to be negotiated between sellers, selling agent and the bank, and Colleen navigated them all, while keeping me informed of what was happening when - which was truly refreshing and helped make a stressful, uncertain process feel much more controlled. I would definitely recommend Colleen for her knowledge, communication, wok ethic and kindness. It was a pleasure, and a blessing, to work with her.

Dean is easy to work with and organized. He helped me negotiate during the purchase of my first house, and was able to manage information flow related to my many grants coming in (I had four separate ones!). He's knowledgeable about building structure, electricity, and plumbing, which was a huge help as I made my offer and worked on contingencies on my contract with the seller. He gave me more information than I thought I needed so that I could make informed decisions, and once I made those decisions, supported them and helped me work toward my goals. He is connected with local contractors who do solid work, and he even came with me to closing to make sure my concerns regarding the walk-through were appropriately addressed. I'd have Dean help me again in a heartbeat!

We've worked with Dean multiple times and he is "our" realtor.

We worked with Dean to buy our first investment property, and we could not be happier. He always gave us his honest opinion about the houses we were seeing, as well as what would be an appropriate price. He went above and beyond as far as recommending different contractors and advising us as to the business side of managing rentals. He was very communicative and always answered all of our questions quickly. Dean also was able to advise us regarding the overall structure of houses, and his previous experience with home building was helpful, as he always noticed repairs that were needed and was able to estimate the associated repair costs. We would highly recommend him, feel fortunate to have worked with him, and are looking forward to working with him again in the near future!

Based on past experiences, (5) with real-estate agents, Colleen far exceeded my expectations in her attention to the many details involved in a first class presentation of my property to potential buyers. This included guidance in preparing the house for showing. Her knowledge of resources available to handle property inspection issues, and volunteer service organization that would make use of surplus household items simplified those details in the selling process. She was only a phone call away when needed, with a prompt follow up. This attention to detail continued after the sale and closing activities through to moving-out day.

She made this already. stressful process much easier than I had been anticipating. Any questions I had were answered quickly and efficiently. Shelia was very knowledgeable with the entire home buyer experience and the different first time home buyers programs ( she educated me on things to look for when looking for a home and what to expect at the closing table) Im very pleased with the expertise she showed me. I definitely recommend Shelia to anyone and would not hesitate to use her again for any further home buying adventures. Paula Logan homeower 2019

Every step of the process was made easier because of Bonnie Pagano. Everything that went wrong was corrected right away with her fast thinking. I wanted to buy another home but the seller tried to take my deposit and run with it. My realtor was able to get me my deposit back and we were able to find another home for the same price and negotiations as the previous home I wanted. My new home was found in less than five days, including weekend days. My new home was better than the previous home that I wanted. I was so excited that Bonnie was my looking out for my best interest as her client throughout the whole home owners experience. Although the circumstances caused my buying experience to be terrible with the first house; it was corrected right away on the second house. I also loved how responsive my realtor was via email and phone

I cannot begin to thank you for all the help and guidance you gave us and the actual physical work you did in selling my mom’s house. Your advice was solid and spot-on. You worked tirelessly for us, and you were always there when we needed you. You sat down with us at the dining room table and outlined the steps we needed to take. You were unfailingly patient and supportive as we drove up on various wintry
weekends to sort through mom’s stuff. You even took what we couldn’t fit in our car and drove it to the storage unit we rented! You painted the living room ceiling, you organized the massive garage sale, and made sure that everything was in great shape for open house. And then, true to your prediction, we had an offer within days of the house being listed.
And then Cheryl was so helpful at sending us forms and instructions for the contract and the closing. You both made this so simple for us, at a time when we really needed to press the “Easy Button”. It freed us up to take care of getting my mom situated and settled at the nursing home. We did not have to worry about a thing. I am so grateful to you both. Thank you for your efforts. We are forever grateful!

I couldn't be more ecstatic over Linda's professionalism, knowledge, dedication and heart. Linda was constantly looking out for our interests as though we were part of her family. She educated us on the area we were interested in. Linda showed us several neighborhoods that we weren't aware of and helped us evaluate each home we looked at.
When a new house appeared on the MLS, she made sure we saw it right away. In this competitive market, we would not have been able to find our new home without her help. Whether it be to answer a quick question, set up a viewing or to write a purchase offer, Linda was always there for us. Linda Kehoe is the epitome of how a Real Estate Agent should treat their clients.
I am very happy with my dealings with her, and I highly recommend her to assist with your real estate needs.

Our family was moving out of state and were initially going to rent our home instead of selling, but at the suggestion of friends, we decided to interview a few realtors to see how the market was fairing. I reached out to Colleen that evening and we set up an appointment to meet the next day.
Colleen was confident, knowledgeable and didn’t pressure us to sell. In fact, she offered to help us rent our home if that’s what we decided. Most importantly, the reason we chose Colleen was because we had a strong feeling that she would work hard for us.
I am happy to share that we made the right decision hiring Colleen. She is an extremely hard worker and quite honestly exceeded our expectations. Our family moved out a few weeks later, leaving Colleen to assist us with several last minute projects before our home went on the market. From monitoring the flooring crews, electricians and cleaners, to painting our front door, and personally staging our home. It looked absolutely incredible!
Through the entire process, she always made herself available to answer any questions we had, and gave us daily updates on showings. She helped us sell our home quickly and we would recommended her 100% to all our friends and family!

We were referred to Sheila by a relative who Sheila also helped. When we met with her for he first time, she was so nice and genuinely interested in helping us. She gave us the name and number of a lender so we could get the ball rolling in getting pre qualified. We called her a couple of days later about a house we wanted to look at. She set up the appointment for the next day. That morning, she called to say she had another house lined up for us to look at right after. We saw the first house (that we asked to look at) and weren't very impressed. Then we saw the house she wanted us to look at. It was beautiful! Everything from our must haves to nice to have was in he house. It was perfect. Sheila stayed up until 11:45 pm (yes PM) helping us to get our offer in. We went back and forth with the seller a couple
Times and finally Sheila called to say we got the house!! She found our dream house 2 days after meeting with her for the first time!! We used everyone she referred us to from the lender, to the inspector, to the attorney, they were all amazing!! Sheila is truly amazing. We would absolutely recommend her!! She was there every step of the way, super easy to get a hold of and so nice!Less

From the moment I talked with her on the phone, she wasn't even in New York, she was on vacation and she made sure I got to see a house I really wanted to see.

We met Linda at an open house we walked through. She was friendly and very knowledgeable and we hit it off from the start. She would show us places day or night....very flexible. We put an offer in on a house in Webster while we were in Florida. She met up with our son and took us through the house via FaceTime! We put an offer in from Florida and she did all the work. Our offer was accepted! Linda did all the coordinating of lawyers, mortgage lenders...just everything....so far everything is running smoothly and we owe it all to our realtor Linda Kehoe and the people she put us in touch with for all the paper signing that had to be done. We are coming home from Florida on October 31st and we are closing on the Townhouse on November 1st.
Linda was awesome and if we ever need a realtor again we will definitely be calling Linda Kehoe!

Bonnie is very positive and enjoyable to work with while also being extremely professional through the whole process. She is excellent at explaining everything we needed to do and what everything meant in the contract. She was very communicative with us through the whole process to make sure everything was completed in a timely manner. She is also very organized which is so helpful for these transactions!
