Maria Antoinette Scognamiglio

"Antoinette, Thank you so much for selling our house in Sparta for such a high price during this terrible housing market crunch. You are to be commended for your "Staging" of our home and getting us a great contract. You were always in touch with us and the market, which lessened our anxiety. You gave us great advice and helped us work through all the twists and turns of selling in this environment. You were always available to answer the smallest of questions. Again, thanks for all your help and best of luck,"

"My husband's company relocated to New Jersey, and Antoinette was assigned as our realtor -- it turned out to be a very long, arduous process, and we are extremely grateful that it was Antoinette by our side through it all, for a variety of reasons. From the first day I met her, I felt at ease with Antoinette, and also sensed right away how much she loves what she does. I knew that it would be a pleasure house-hunting with her, and felt comfortable expressing myself openly about all my thoughts, and especially my questions. One thing that impressed me most about her was how she somehow always managed to make us feel like we were her top priority. She answered emails right away, returned calls very quickly, and kept assuring me that I was never "bothering her," even though I thought I must be driving her mad with calls and questions. She was extremely professional in dealing with other realtors, homeowners, lawyers, etc. We relied on her expertise and honest opinions countless times. I cannot imagine experiencing the ups and downs of this experience without her, and I would recommend her strongly to any friend who is considering buying or selling a home. It seems to me that realtors are easy to find, but locating one whom you can truly trust and who is such a pleasure to work with is perhaps not as easy. Antoinette is a rare find!"

""We wanted to express our pleasure with Antoinette Scognamiglio and her handling of both our condo sale and home purchase. We were dealing with a very difficult seller, who created a lot of problems. Antoinette maintained her professioanlism throughout and did all she could to help us. She also went the extra mile on our condo sale and helped push the deal along through some last minute problems. Throughout our dealings with her, she was honest, upfront, and available to deal with any questions or issues we had. We look forward to working with her in the future."

""We have found Antoinette to be a unique gem. She is a person that goes above and beyond to satisfy her clients. We first met Antoinette when we were looking at open houses. She really listened to what was important fo our family and our needs. She searched for properties that fit the criteria we were looking for. She researched properties and towns for us. She really had an understanding of what we were looking for in a home. She always met us with excitement and the genuine desire to help. Also, Antoinette did a wonderful job selling our home. She created a marketing plan so that our home would be well advertised and the open house well attended. The flyer that she created was magnificent and highlighted all of our home's features. She did such a great job of selling our home that we had multiple offers above the listing price. We could not have asked for anything more, as Antoinette truly made the sale of our home seamless. We are proud to recommend Antoinette as she is an amazing person and Realtor!"

"We went into an open house of a home that we couldn't afford, and Antoinetted gave us excellent service regardless, whether we could afford the home or not! This is why we stayed with her throughout our search."

""Almost a year and a half ago I bought a fix- me-up home in West Milford, NJ. It was to be an invest to "flip." The home cost more than $240,000. The real estate agent said if I put in $20,000 and three months work, he could sell it for about $360,000. After SIX months work and $40,000, the same salesman said he could get $330,000. I signed a six months contract. In that time he brought in his friends for a clean up for $150. I got a bill for $300. He wanted to bring in a crew to landscape the property for another $800. I did it myself for nothing. I was spending more than $2,000 a month in mortgage and building material payments. I was desperate. Twice he said he had the house sold. Once for $300,000. That fell through he said. Another sale went down the tubes on the way to signing the papers for $280,000. I never met or saw a buyer. With one month left on the contract, a friend at work recommended I talk with Antoinette Scognamiglio. I called her and explained my situation. Antoinette volunteered to look at the house and make suggestions that might help sell the house. Antoinette came to the home on her own time, offering to help me make some changes even though there was nothing in it for her. I did as Antoinette suggested and still my real estate agent could not get anyone interested. When the contract expired, I signed with Antoinette. Antoinette went to bat and made up brochures, put the house on the internet, put flowers around the property and held an open house. The real estate market had peaked four months earlier, and it was going to be a long haul. Not with Antoinette. She had the house sold for $286,000 in ten weeks in a soft market. At the time of the sale, my bank account was down to my last $81 -- eighty one dollars. Antoinette sold my house, saved my credit and made a friend for life.""

"Antoinette was by far the best agent we have ever had! This is our THIRD house, and I look forward to working with her again when we sell our home!"
