Another Great Testimonial from Gabe and Valerie

July 22, 2011

Gabe and Valerie just sold their old house and bought a new one with me. Here’s what they had to say about us:

We were both buyers and sellers with Joey Marino III, and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We were very nervous with this process especially in this economy, but Joey was able to answer all our questions (and I ask like 5 million questions) and explain things each step of the way. Joey was always available when we needed him and was great about keeping us updated on any progress and on the current status of our home. He was pretty innovative in the way he marketed our home, and we felt it was well represented in the highly saturated market of homes for sale. He was also open to ideas and willing to work with us if we had things we wanted to try. Our home sold fairly quickly, under 2 months, and I really don’t feel that would have happened without his dedication and motivation to sell our home. By the time the process was over, I feel like we gained a friend, someone who was truly looking out for our best interest and someone who gave us the personal attention we needed to feel comfortable about letting him take the reins in helping us to successfully buy AND sell our homes. Thanks Joey!! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for or even considering looking for a new home or selling a current home.

First Time Home Buyer Testimonial

April 4, 2010

Dennis and Trisha buy their first home

Dennis and Trisha just bought their first home and were so pleased with our service they’re even going to invite me to their wedding! You better not have a buffet at the reception Trish, or I’m going to have to eat someone at the end of the line out of any food…

Here’s a testimonial written by Trish:

I have no hesitations at all in fully recommending Joey Marino. We had no idea what kind of home we wanted, and several times took up several hours of Joey’s days trying to figure it all out. Joey was totally patient with us, was very honest, and amazingly generous with his time and effort. Joey went completely out of his way more than once to ensure we were able to get our home. I truly believe no other realtor would go to the lengths that Joey did to make it happen for us. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done. He has made the first-time-home-buying experience an easy and completely satisfying one. THANK YOU, JOEY!!!!! You’ve made a dream come true!

Thank you guys, and I truly enjoyed working for you. May your new house bring you many many years of joy and may you invite me to all your pool parties!

What a difference a good picture can make to your listing

March 13, 2010

Many times I am browsing the new listings on the MLS and it just appears that some agents (or agent’s assistants) don’t seem to care about the way their listing’s pictures look. One of the most important factors about marketing a home is the presentation of that property. Take a look at the following example of the huge impact a good picture can have on a property’s presentation.

What are the main differences between the two pictures?

The better picture is bright and sunny with blue skies.
Buying a home is an emotional process, making the first impression of the home inviting and warm is important.
The better picture shows the homes width and depth. This gives the home more apparent size and thus adding value immediately.
The first picture has what looks like a dead tree and grass in the front yard. This gives it a more gloomy look. It’s not the home’s fault this is how it looks, the season is changing and plants haven’t had any warmth or sunlight to grow. Taking pictures that don’t show these problems (that aren’t really there) you aren’t hiding the facts but giving the home a better representation.

If you are a seller, having a Realtor that knows how to take good pictures, has the quality equipment to do so, and understands the importance of good presentation is important. Take a look at your perspective agent’s listing photos and see if they will put the time and effort into presenting your home in it’s best light.
