- Christopher Amorosi

" I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your work, and write about the work you dii and how valuable and helpful it was for me, through the somewhat long and difficult process of selling my house. We had a buyer before we even listed, but the buyer turned out to be just on the edge of being able to afford the property. Kathy guided me through our work on the house (which went past schedule) and dealt with the buyers, who were consistently cagey about their financial situation. Kathy was a staunch advocate for us as sellers; this buyer had offered to buy the house in a private sale, and after dealing with their difficult path to finally bringing the funding together, I was very glad to have Kathy in our corner, holding the buyers to account - Kathy and my lawyer basically had to drive the closing process home with sometimes vague or contradictory information from the buyers. She was always ready with logistical help or good advice, and hooked us up with a stellar cleanout service. I can't thank Kathy enough for her hard work and business savvy, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a a house. Thanks again, so much, Kathy! "

" Working with Tanya was one of the best decisions we made throughout our home buying journey. From the very beginning, her service was impeccable. She always had our best interests at heart and advocated for us every step of the way, especially when we encountered a few unexpected hiccups with the sellers and their agent. Tanya is incredibly knowledgeable, steadfast, relatable and professional. She took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, never pressured us into making decisions, and always followed our lead while offering thoughtful guidance and honest advice. We couldn’t have done this without her. Tanya’s integrity, hard work, and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. I appreciated her attention to detail, prompt responses and authenticity. What started as a professional relationship has grown into a genuine friendship, and we are so grateful to have met her. Tanya exceeded every expectation we had, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is honest, trustworthy, and will truly fight for your best interests, Tanya is the one. "

" We recently closed on our second home purchase with Rob Nazarian, and once again, the experience was outstanding. Rob made both the selling and buying processes incredibly smooth, we highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Capital Region! On the selling side, our home received multiple offers after just one weekend on the market. As the weekend came to an end, Rob provided a summary of all offers listing pros and cons of each to help us confidently select the best option. For both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one, Rob handled all the logistics, coordinating every appointment, managing all communication with the other parties (attorneys, lenders, other agents), and kept us updated with timely, clear information at every stage. We always knew exactly where we stood. If you are looking for a reliable, responsive, and highly capable realtor, Rob Nazarian is the person you need! "

" My husband and I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Tanya while buying our new home in New York. From the moment we met Tanya, we knew we had hit the jackpot. Tanya was incredibly friendly and professional, all while getting us through a few rocky moments in the process. Her passion for what she does is evident in the way she works; she stays on top of deadlines and kept the process, at least from her end, moving as smoothly as possible. I'm so glad we found Tanya as an agent, and now, after this experience, I consider her a friend. If you are buying or selling, you'll be glad you chose her as well! "

" We truly could not have asked for a better real estate agent than Maria. Her track record speaks for itself, but after working with her personally, we understand why so many people trust her with such an important decision. Maria really listened to what we wanted and made us feel like she was genuinely invested in helping us get there. When something needed attention, she didn't just send an email and wait—she picked up the phone, called whoever needed to be called, and kept things moving. Her experience and knowledge of the industry were invaluable, especially when it came to negotiations and knowing when to push. She also has an incredible network of people she can turn to. Whether we needed a contractor, moving company, house cleaner, or another service, Maria always seemed to know someone who could help. We sold our home and purchased our new home in less than six weeks, which made for some stressful moments and a very tight timeline. Through all of it, Maria was calm, responsive, professional, and reassuring. We always felt like she knew what was happening and was looking out for us. In the end, she helped us sell our home and get into our dream home, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did to make that happen. Having Maria in our corner made a complicated process feel manageable, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. We can't recommend her highly enough, Maria is truly one of the best in the area. "

As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and he was always knowledgeable and patient, making sure I understood every step along the way. He gave us great insight during offer negotiations, which made a huge difference and helped us feel confident in our decisions. He also had a strong understanding of the area, which was really valuable as we narrowed down where we wanted to buy.
