"I used John when purchasing my first home a couple of years ago and I couldn’t of made a better decision. I didn’t know anything about real estate and was nervous going into it. John made the entire process easy and stress free. He answered all my questions at anytime during the day and made everything simple on my end. I can’t imagine recommending another realtor in the area if John's available." - Anthony

"John was great. I was looking to sell one house and purchase another. He really made both processes easy and stress free especially doing them both at the same time. He immediately showed me a great selection of homes I was interested in. John made it possible for me to accept an offer on the house I was selling in under 2 weeks. He was also the one to find my new home. He called me up and said he found one that I would really like. He brought me to the house and I immediately knew that was the house I wanted. He used his knowledge and experience and helped me negotiate a great deal. He also has connections for every part of the sale and purchase like lawyers, inspectors, contractors, etc. John did such an excellent job, I’m referring anyone I know to him." - Brandon

"I enlisted John to help sell my childhood home, and he could not have been more professional. Having never sold a home before, I really had no idea what to expect. John was incredibly patient as he walked me through all the steps that needed to be taken. He went above and beyond in helping me arrange a professional photographer for listing photos, as well as a cleaning crew to help get the home in tip top shape. His team helped clear out open permits I had, and no matter what time of the day I reached out he was quick to respond. He made the entire process as easy as could be and I could not be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend his services, and will most definitely be working with him again in the future. Thanks for everything John!" - David

"We became reacquainted with John when his mom Mary was on vacation, and John showed us a condo that we were interested in seeing. From that moment on John and Mary became our realtor team!! John’s knowledge and experience helped us through the emotional journey of selling our home of 47 years and buying our new home. Every phone call and text was always answered. We never felt alone through the entire process! John and Mary are the reason for the wonderful success we had in selling our home and they skillfully helped us through a difficult purchase of our condo as well! I cannot say enough positive things about John and Mary, but I will say that we highly recommend them!!" - Elizabeth

"It is with great pleasure that I write a review about Mary and John Macaluso, an amazing mother/son real estate team. Making the decision to sell my home of 32 years was heart wrenching. Choosing Mary and John as my real estate agents was the best decision I could have made. Not only did they help me navigate throughout the entire process, but they were incredibly supportive knowing I was struggling with the sale of my long-time home. From day one, they were kind and considerate, and made what could have been an extremely stressful time and difficult process as seamless as could be. They truly understand the housing market and gave great advice which made me feel secure. They bring top notch professionalism to the table which is invaluable. They were always available and responsive, within minutes I would get either a return text or call. They were patient, listened, and had a calming manner and always answered all my questions. Words that come to mind when I think of Mary and John - - professionalism, knowledgeable, patience, honesty, positive energy, integrity, excellent interpersonal skills and hard work ethic. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Mary and John Macaluso, an amazing mother/son real estate team who truly care and have a passion for what they do!" - Halina
