I knew selling my first home was going to be a huge project. Thankfully, having Antonella by my side allowed the process to be seamless and professional, but also fun and exciting! I appreciated her ability to collaborate with what our vision was in conjunction with her knowledge and expertise.

Our experience working with Antonella was absolutely wonderful. As first-time homebuyers purchasing a new construction, this was completely new territory for my husband and me, but she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She truly listened to our desires, needs, and wants, and made sure they were met every step of the way. She took the time to walk us through the process, never settling for anything less than what was discussed, and always made herself available to answer questions or check in. Her consistent communication, dedication, and genuine care made her an absolute pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She genuinely cares about her clients and dedicates her time and effort to everyone she works with.

I just want to say that Antonella was the hardest working agent I have ever seen.she was very professional and at the top of her game.I just want to say thank you for your hard work.
Thomas, Pardo
I would give Antonella more than 5 stars if I could. Ours was an Estate sale which made it complicated to begin with. Antonella was extremely professional and patient in dealing with myself and two siblings with some of us residing out of state. Her communication skills are excellent and she will work tirelessly to sell your home. She does not shy away from Open Houses and we got multiple offers quickly because of them. I would highly recommend Antonella! Besides her knowledge of Real Estate, she is a really great person.

Very glad Antonella was referred to us, especially because we are out of state. Antonella is very detailed orientated with photos and staging. Her consistent communication resulted in a sale above asking price of my mother's home and no issues at closing. Would definitely recommend Antonella!

Antonella by far is the best agent in the business I've ever dealt with. She's knows the market and is very astute in the negotiation process.

Antonella made an overwhelming situation into an extremely positive experience. She assisted me with the sale of my mom's home in Mount Sinai. My mom had recently passed and this was a very emotional time for me. Antonella helped me through every step of the process and was sensitive to all of my needs. Antonella has many qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective broker. I can't say enough about her professionalism and knowledge within the industry. She has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping my best interests in mind. Another quality that I really appreciated was her attention to detail. She knew exactly how to make my mom's home ready to sell. She was extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately to my many calls, texts and emails. My transaction went very smoothly and I closed on time. I have the highest level of confidence in Antonella and would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying property.

Antonella was truly our blessing in home buying. We were previously using another agent at another firm who we were not happy with. We met Antonella and it was like day and night. She took the time to learn about our wants and needs. Each house she found for us to look at she made sure she could picture us in there. She always explained why she thought it was a good fit based off of our needs, always took the time to be there for each house we viewed. Within a week of working with her we had submitted an offer and received an accepted bid. She was super knowledgeable, helped us obtain an inspector within record time and always communicated everything super well. We are grateful that we found her and had her as our agent!

Antonella was phenomenal! We were first time home buyers and new to Long Island. We needed a long time to figure out what we wanted and to understand how the process works. Antonella was extremely patient and personable with us. We spent 3 months looking for houses, with lots of trial and error. We were out every weekend, and often during the week too. Antonella never made us feel like we were taking too long or being unreasonable. She took the lead on picking out listings to show us and suggesting neighbourhoods. She got to know our family and understood our needs (children, extended family, out of town guests etc). Antonella is also EXTREMELY knowledgable about Long Island. She knows all the different towns and villages really well. It was very reassuring. She has contacts for all the different jobs you might need doing on the house too, as well as a great inspector who she got to come out the next day when we had an accepted offer. Finally, Antonella is a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to look at houses with her! Thank you, Antonella!

We have known Antonella for about 15 years, and most recently had the pleasure of working with her to find an investment house. Our objective was to find the lowest price house , in a very upscale Hamptons neighborhood. Long term we want this as a real estate investment, and wanted to find something we could rent during the peak summer season to not only cover the carrying costs, but to have positive cash flow.
The real estate boom in the Hamptons was even more intense than just about anywhere else in New York. Not only were the prices ultra high, but cash buyers were willing to pay over the asking price, and abandon most pre purchase stipulations.
So, we jumped right into this with Antonella as our partner.
She is a tireless worker, and is absolutely wonderful to work with. She puts her clients needs above all else.
In one such case, we were interested in a very run down house that was priced well below the market, which is the perfect situation for an investment house. This was a complete tear down, and the opportunity to build a new house. Represented by a broker who was clearly setting up a bidding war among interested buyers. Meanwhile the property was part of a wetlands subdivision with 3 other homes. The broker couldn't produce a single shred of information such as an existing survey, the possible building envelope, or if the shared driveway was a deeded road, or private drive. There was even a partially exposed septic system, and again no answers to the many questions.
Antonella spent the next day at the Town offices getting the information that we needed.
Lastly, she works well with other brokers, and this is key. Many deals can be lost over bruised egos, or just a lack of follow up. She simply doesn't allow anyone else's shortcomings get in the way of doing whats best for her client.
If you are looking for a broker that will work extremely hard to earn your business, and will be your advocate throughout the process, you should look no further than her.

Antonella is incredibly responsive and worked hard to find us the perfect property to meet our needs!! She is warm and friendly, and very easy to communicate with. She carefully screened prospective properties for us as our time was limited. She took extra time to work through some important details of our deal and also handled administration of the inspection and walk through for us as we were unable to attend. She documented everything and brought any relevant items and issues to our attention. Closing was smooth and everything just as we'd hoped! Highly recommend! Go to Antonella to meet your LI real estate needs, you will not be disappointed!!! Nancy and Pablo Triana

Antonella did an amazing job from the moment we decided to sell, right through the day of closing! She started by ensuring our home was in tip top shape for selling, paying careful attention to every detail, no matter how small. She was in constant contact with us during the whole time, providing updates along the way and guiding us through the selling process with ease, explaining all of the information and was completely responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We received many offers at the first and only open house that was needed, with several offers being well over our asking price. Antonella's warmth, caring, and kindness gave us the peace of mind we needed during a stressful time and we are beyond thankful for the opportunity to work with her. Without a doubt, we highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a house!

Antonella went above and beyond to help us find our forever home! She spent mornings, afternoons, evenings, & Sundays showing us homes from one end of Suffolk County to the other. She was thoughtful in her research of the homes she found and diligently paid attention to every point of interest we were looking for, while understanding our unique & specific needs, like having a backyard with the perfect spot for a chicken coop! Antonella's warmth, grace, & patience is immeasurable, and she made the journey of finding the right home so much less stressful than we thought possible!
