TESTIMONIALS

We were so fortunate to have Janet Ferrante as our Realtor.  Finding the right home, especially as a first time home buyer, can be a very overwhelming process.  Janet was with us every step of the way.  She was honest and upfront with any questions we had and put us at ease over any concerns.  Janet had great suggestions for homes based on our needs and her dedication to finding us our very first home was more than we could have expected.

"From the listing of our house in one of the worst real estate markets ever, to its sale only four months later, we were totally impressed with Janet's professionalism, warmth and willingness to do anything and everything to make the experience of selling our house less stressful. In the very difficult real estate market of early 2009, it could not be easy dealing with clients' sometimes unrealistic expectations of value, but Janet honestly and sympathetically explained the market and devised a sales strategy which worked beautifully. Her marketing efforts and careful pricing resulted in showings day after day, week after week, while other properties remained unvisited. She made creative but inexpensive and easily do-able suggestions to make the house more attractive to buyers. And through-out, she and her associates at Houlihan Lawrence were considerate in scheduling showings, opening and closing the house, and supervising potential buyers. One of Janet's strengths is that she is always looking for new ideas - whether creating promotional materials, places to advertise, or decorating tips - and she also brings to her work the benefit of the ideas of her colleagues, openness to new approaches and an ability to carefully listen to her clients. Finally, at all times Janet demonstrated the know-how and people skills to get a deal done quickly, smoothly and amicably. After living in our house for almost ten, happy years it was a wonderful feeling to close the chapter on a good note. Thank you so much, Janet. "

"When we decided to look for our first home together, we were overwhelmed.  We both knew  we wanted to live in Westchester, but being that we were living in New York City, we were completely unfamiliar with the area until we met Janet.  We met Janet during the summer of 2008 and started the search for our perfect home. 

Janet has proven herself time and time again for having a keen eye for Real Estate and the patience to search and address the needs for her clients.  Janet helped us in determining our requirements as to the location and type of home we were looking for.  Janet provided us with an impressive selection of listings to review.  Her familiarity of the market was invaluable to us when we had to make the final decision.  She accommodated us by showing some homes to us two or three times and also worked with us to arrange the home inspections and any other contract work that was necessary. She even suggested painters and handymen!!!

Janet was priceless to us and we were so glad to have her on our side.  We have no intention of selling our home, but if we had to start our searching again, we would immediately call Janet."

"Janet, thanks so much for the fabulous work you did in selling my home in Armonk, NY.  Right from the 'get-go', you revealed outstanding marketing ideas, while being sensitive and caring of the unique needs my family and I were facing at the time.  Your kind and caring manner, coupled with your extreme professionalism, enabled us to feel secure that we were getting the best price for our home and in the most convenient manner.  In addition, we felt that you were 'in tune' with us and enabled us to keep to our preferred schedule in the sale. In fact, through your extensive contacts, you have remained a permanent and enduring 'FRIEND', as we have pursued other home sales.  I would have to rate you 'THE BEST REALTOR' we have ever encountered.  We hold you in the highest estemm and would always want to refer other friends and family to you.  Continued good luck.  We feel so very lucky to have you as our trusted realtor and know we can continue to count upon you ( and your enthusiastic husband, Richard) , in the future!

Warm Regards,

"It is my pleasure to write this letter in strong support of Janet Ferrante.  My husband and I had bought and sold three homes prior to deciding to move this past spring.  We chose Janet to sell our home in Armonk and find a new home in town and could not be more pleased with the entire experience.  Janet was our advocate and advisor in every step of the process.  She helped us prepare our home to show and advised us on a strategy to sell.  The house sold very quickly at a price we were very happy with. 

Janet sent me every listing we would be interested in and was always available to take us to houses as soon as they hit the Multiple Listings....We found her insight and wisdom invaluable.  Her honesty and character are truly admirable.  We will be closing on our new home in Windmill Farm in August and are extremely happy about our new house and new friend - Janet."

"My husband and I met Janet when we started the journey of buying our first home. Coming into that with little knowledge on the ins and outs of the whole process Janet was there to guide us through it all and to reach our goal of having our dream home. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area we were interested in and always was in communication about new homes on the market that fit what we were looking for. When it came down to finding our home the process was difficult due to many things out of our control, but Janet was always in communication and guiding us toward the end goal. Her kindness, knowledge, expertise, and persistence is one of the key factors we have our dream home and we are so thankful to have had her by our side through one of our biggest decisions to date!

"Janet was awesome! We were nervous about selling our house and we had to move immediately for work. It was due to her involvement that our house sale was a huge success Janet was a lifesaver. She was a great counsel on how to stage our house to look the best. Her attention to detail was incredible. She arranged to have the most beautiful photographs taken with her own expert eye for the best photos. She gave us great advice on how to make our house welcoming to the potential buyers. She provided market experience and helped us price the house, advertise the house, find potential buyers as well. She even helped us out with contractors and remediation during the closing process. Janet was everything we needed and more. We had several offers on our house in the first couple days and could not be more happy with the experience."
