~Deborah W.
Over 20 years, I bought and sold numerous houses so I had chances to work with quite a few realtors in the past. And I must say working with Ms. Russo was the best experience I had. I was be able to sell my house in a day with the price more than I expected. She seems to know well the clients needs and most of all, she was always available to talk to. Also, she takes beautiful pictures for the house sales with her nice professional camera which helped to sell my house fast in my opinion. I'll recommend Ms. Russo to anyone who wants to buy or sell their property. I know she'll always work for the clients on their behalf. ~Eun L

I was recommended Nick from a local, and he's been absolutely fantastic. From the very little notice we gave him, he was able to pull up some great options in the area we were looking in and has really taken the time to explain the process to us as first-time home buyers. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs help getting a home in the area. ~TA

"Anne was very helpful and positive about our property. She had several buyers lined up and provided excellent feedback. She also recommended vendors in our area who could help us in getting our home prepared and ready for sale. As ours was an estate sale, we are not from the area and we’re grateful for her expertise. I would not hesitate to recommend her!"

I have to give a big thank you to Nicholas Holt from Howard Hanna Holt. If you are looking into buying a house this is the man to talk to. He went above and beyond his duties as a real estate agent and did whatever he could to put my family's mind at ease through the home buying process and I would highly recommend him for your home buying experience. Kevin Kelley
I enjoyed working with Steve. It was obvious that he would do anything possible to help make the purchasing (and selling) experience as painless as possible. It is an honor working with an individual with such high integrity.

"We have worked together on many projects. She is very professional and has a great track record of getting properties sold which is what our organization needed.

"Anne has been great to work with! She's very thorough and helpful!" TB
"We loved working with Rachel! She excelled in so many areas. She lined up all the showings requested and recommended others that were similar. During the viewings, her input was very helpful. She answered all our countless questions, and believe me, we had a LOT! We are from out of the town, so it was critical for us that we had someone local, like Rachel. She helped us with lining up the local services, like the attorney and inspector, and introducing us to the property management group. She did an amazing job of keeping in touch with us over the course of the process, and was always SO responsive. We can't thank her enough for everything she did to help us find our dream get-away place!"
Anne & Don

Matthew Wroda helped us find our dream cottage. We knew we wanted a place on Chautauqua Lake but had no idea how to begin looking. Matthew met us, talked with us, and arranged for us to see a number of lake front properties. He really listened to our priorities-the very first place we saw was the one we purchased! Matthew walked us through all the paperwork and details involved in the purchase of our dream home and he remained available to assist us until we were literally settled into the cottage. We cannot recommend Matthew Wroda more highly.
C. Roman & A. Lantzy
“Matthew’s knowledge of the real estate market was key to the successful purchase of a vacation home we have enjoyed more than we thought possible. His continuous communication, flexibility and guidance on purchasing real-estate in New York was extremely valuable and greatly appreciated.”
S. Smith and D. Strachan
'Mark is by the best real estate agent you will find. He can actually accomplish what I would consider impossible. Living over 800 miles away I needed someone that would go the extra mile to sell my home in Gerry, NY. I have dealt with other agents in the past so I was a bit skeptical at first. Mark has certainly changed all that and then some! Mark kept an eye on my house for me, checked the propane, handled issues that came up, [...]! Mark met with the water inspector, plowed my driveway, arranged to have some things hauled away for me, I could go on and on! I have never seen this kind of customer service anywhere! Mark had numerous showings and kept me in the loop with all the details. My house sold in a very short time at the price I wanted due to his excellent attitude and customer client relations and persistence. I promise everyone out there considering listing or buying any real estate, that if you call Mark Jaquith at Howard Hanna and you will not be disappointed. Mark answers all emails and phone calls almost immediately. Do yourself a favor and avoid the hassles that usually comes along with selling your home, call Mark!'
~David Nelson
"I was impressed with her when she helped us with the listing of our condominium in Edgewater and her continued communications with us which is so important to a seller." ~ Fred and Georgiann R.
"Diana came to us with a great recommendation and she did not disappoint. We approached her at the last minute and she jumped right in. Her knowledge of Chautauqua’s market was invaluable." ~GP
We have worked with Diana to buy and sell house in the past, but recently had an opportunity to work with her again to buy another house. She gave us great advice, service and was extremely knowledgeable about the property. We had looked at the property on and off for a few years, but finally decided that we would make an aggressive offer to get the house for what we believed would be a fair price. Diana did an excellent job negotiating a very favorable agreement and we closed last month! The process was enjoyable and fun. We highly recommend Diana and the Howard Hanna Holt team. ~BC & AC

" Many, many thanks for your expertise in selling my cottage, especially so quickly! I appreciated your patience when I became very concerned about meeting the August 31st deadline that had been stipulated in writing by the buyers when they made the offer to buy. Apparently, the deadline wasn't that important to them after all. We will definitely keep you in mind if we decide to make another purchase." - Marilyn Y.
'Mark was an absolute pleasure to do business with while I was looking for a home for my family. He was extremely flexible and did everything within his power to make sure we found the perfect home to fit our needs. I highly recommend Mark for any of your real estate need and I will certainly look to him in the future for mine!' ~KW
Well, my Diana experience was like no others! That's because I've know her for almost as long as I've lived in Mayville. We've been friends for many, many years. When I decided to move to be near my son & family, there was only one person to ask to sell my house for me - Diana Holt, of course. This very busy lady will be available to anyone who needs help - maybe for the first time. She puts together everything from the first time you meet until your sale is just the right one for the next owner. And, she does it with a smile, just like you'll smile because she's doing all she can to get the best for you plus what you're looking for. All and all, I must say, Diana Holt fulfills your experience from top to bottom."
Ann W.
"Still absolutely love my home!!!!. As with any older home, there have been issues as expected. Mark was very upfront with any known issues and quick to point them out. He was very helpful to me in moving the sellers along and keeping me informed. Would recommend him to friends and family looking for a home."
'Mark went above and beyond what anyone could ever expect in a realtor! The house buying experience is a stressful one and Mark went out of his way to make it as painless as possible. We recommend mark to anyone buying a house who will listen! " ~KT

I want to thank you for all your time and care towards helping me find my little home in Chautauqua Institution. Having worked in real estate, I understand how professional and tactful you are. You can be sure I'll recommend you. – JN
"Thank you for all you did for us with finding our new home at the lake. We took you for a tour of many different places around the lake as we tried to figure out what exactly we were looking for and in the end, you knew what it was when you found Manor Drive. We can't thank you enough for all your time answering continuous emails & texts and providing your honest input as we explored the houses. We are looking forward to spending a lot of time at the lake in a new home to relax in. Thank you so much!" - Cherly Ann & Mary Beth
“Both Gregg and I are very pleased the Westfield property sold so well. We got more than we paid for it in a depressed market. Now we can look for houses here and have started that process. There are a lot of properties that have been aggressively reduced. Two years ago you could not find a property in Southold Township for less than 300K. Now there are some out there. Figure we can afford something for 360K and are making an appointment with a mortgage broker today. So we are very excited. If you had not sold the property so quickly, we would not be in a position to buy in a market that will likely see a significant increase in property values once the economy really does rebound. So Thank you again.!! Look forward to Christmas time so we can celebrate.†- K & G
"Thank you so much for the unique and very special gift you've given us. The carafe and glasses marked with the coordinates of our new home are simply fabulous! If we use them to imbibe too much - they'll "tell us" where we are! You have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to doing so in the future." - Beth & Jon
"Many thanks for the very nice flowers that arrived Saturday morning. How thoughtful of you. Also, my sincere thanks for your patience with me (all my phone calls and questions!)

“I just wanted to thank you for the fine job you did for us. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you from beginning to the conclusion of the deal. I will miss hearing from you by phone and e-mail, but maybe our paths will cross again one day.†- Cheryl T.
"Thank you so much for all your work on selling our house. We are so grateful!" - Ed & Sue S.
"Thank you so much for helping me find the right house. It took some time, but all ended up happening at the right time. You have been very helpful, flexible, and honest." - Connie
"Thank you for everything you did for the successful sale of my mothers home. My goal was to sell before the snow fell and you did it! I'm appreciative of not only your expertise but your kindness and compassion. Selling what we all had called home for more than 50 years following my mothers passing was very emotional. You obviously had experience with that because you were so gentle and caring, it made it so much better. Cleaning it out in March made it less personal when it went on the market. I'm so grateful Kim connected us with you. Thank you again."- Laurie B
"Mark was extremely professional and exceeded our hopes in the sale of my grandmother's house. It sold quickly, for more than asking price, and Mark made sure that all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed. Both my sister and I live hours away from Westfield. Mark found an electrician for us, and was willing to do whatever was necessary to make the sale go through. Kudos to Mark Jaquith!" GS
"Thank you so much for your patience with us during our hunt for our home. Thanks for being there to listen to us when we whined!" - Dave and Sandy

--J & A Muscato
In the past we have purchased many properties and this was probably the easiest + most pleasant experience we have had.
Because we live in a different state we had to communicate often with Matthew either by cell phone or E-mail. He always returned our calls & E-mails promptly.
We really feel that he went above + beyond to answer questions and concerns that we had.
I think he does a great job of matching clients to the type of property that they are looking for. I hope he has a long future in Real Estate. ~TS
Dear Diana,
You made this experience so easy and fun. Thanks for making all of our dreams come true. Many thanks again for all of your help! You were a real joy to work with.
Fondly, SF
Since I am a Pittsburger it way easy for me to choose the real estate company that I wanted to list my house with. I was not disappointed in the least. Catherine was absolutely wonderful to work with. She understood my situation and marked the house beautifully. She kept me informed of all of the interested buyers and was relentless with the open houses. She made a very painful and difficult decision for me to sell my home so much easier. I think she is a wonderful person and I truly appreciate everything she did to help me through this process.
Sincerely, MK
