Client Testimonials

★★★★★

"Our experience with Maria and Suzy was exceptional. They made our house look its very best without stripping it of its character and personal touches. Their hands-on approach to preparing the house was remarkable - they didn't just recommend what we should do, they got it done! They brightened up woodwork with magic erasers, brought in lamps to replace tired ones and created a fun attic space with things from their own houses! Their backgrounds in design and decorating served us well and most definitely was reflected in the number of offers we received. Maria and Suzy are knowledgeable, professional, and creative but what sets them apart in the best possible way is their enthusiasm and their ability to make selling a house fun! "

"I had the BEST experience working with Maria DeLisi. Maria helped ground me through the buying process and listened clearly to all my needs. She understood what I wanted out of the process and did not waste my time. She came to the table with her research before pitching an offer. She is super well connected and beams positivity - it made the transaction seamless and peaceful between the seller and I. She was always on top of communication, did not miss a heartbeat. She stays current and relevant which helped keep me calm. She is smart and goes above and beyond to get the answer. So grateful for to have crossed paths with her and move in to my dream home."

"Maria took care of listing/selling my condo seamlessly. She took care of everything like it was her own. Can’t commend her enough and yes! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is listing/selling/buying. She is knowledgeable and finds out the answers without pestering me (she understands I have a demanding job). She did not stress me out at all! Went to town hall, scheduled viewings with my tenant who was impossible. Get grace and clarity of what needs to happen is a skill that can’t be taught, she just has it! "
