“Lydia is fabulous! She was my realtor when I purchased this house and the selling of the same house! She always goes above and beyond your expectations! She treats you like family as if it is her house she is selling! She was always there for me to address all my concerns! If it wasn't for her I don't feel I would've got above the asking price! Thank you Lydia . I have the upmost respect for you. I don't feel like you're my realtor. You're part of my family like a sister to me.“-Linda

“Ms Ragonese was and is the most knowledgeable Realtor I have ever met. Not was she also friendly but kept me in the loop continuously. Advised us in every step of the sale to allow us to me make the right decision and we were righteously pleased with the outcome...a "feather in her cap".“-Freddy R.
★★★★★
“Lydia has been very helpful to me and my wife. She listed our lot and it sold within a week. She knew what to list it for and I believe she told a couple investors that were interested. We will have her help us buy our next home when we are ready. That should be within the next 6 months to a year if the interest rates aren't too high. I'm not in a rush ANF she knows this. But we've appreciated her helping us with her experience to make things easier on us so far. Thanks Lydia!“-Roger C.

★★★★★
“Lydia was the best! She was prepared and professional. When we interviewed agents to sell our home Lydia had compiled a brief worthy of a Supreme Court presentation. She navigated the perils of the pandemic and found rock solid buyers for our home. She arranged for a superb presentation for the internet portion of the process. She worked with us to sell our home quickly and safely. You will not find a better agent in Delaware.“-Michelle P.
