Here is what home sellers and buyers are saying:
“Ileana helped us to navigate what is inevitably a stressful experience: both selling our existing home and buying a new home within a few months of each other, and in the middle of the ‘Great Recession’. She provided us with laser sharp advice, winning recommendations, and brought it all together seamlessly. We were especially impressed with the online marketing and leave-behind brochure that Ileana authored for the sale of our existing home, as well as the ideas she would offer up whenever we went into another home viewing. Moreover, Ileana did this all with great cheer and a wonderful sense of humor – which is important when you’re spending so much time driving around looking at homes day after day.” -Eric F. Schneider
“Ileana Slavin provides an excellent service. We listed our home with her after six months on the market with a different agent. We had had little interest and no offers, but Ileana came in with a game plan. She helped us stage our home and set the right price. Ileana took brilliant pictures of each room and set up a beautiful website that really showcased the house. We had 17 showings and received two offers in the first two weeks. She was an excellent negotiator and very helpful at each step in the process. Ileana is a true professional and we highly recommend her.” -Jennifer & Rocco D’Andraia
"Ileana was our agent during our hunt for a home in the town of Greenwich. At the time we lived in a small NYC apartment, and with the pending arrival of our first baby, we needed a home as soon as possible.
She was organized, tireless, frank, analytical, and very detail-oriented – all of which we came to greatly appreciate. Every meeting she prepared a bound booklet of homes with all the details of the houses we would see that day, as well as a summary chart comparing prices, square footage, etc. Not wanting to rush into such a big purchase, we were insistent on seeing many homes before making a final decision, and Ileana kindly accommodated. There was one Sunday where she showed us 15 homes in one day! We also came to highly value her opinion. If we asked Ileana what she thought, she would tell us in a frank manner, without falsely sugar-coating poor workmanship or a sub-optimal location. Finally, when it came time for the final price negotiations, Ileana approached the process as a shrewd negotiator and true advocate for us. She was armed with many details, including other home sales in the area, averages, price trends, and the finances of the other party. She overlooked nothing and was always available to us as we worked through the closing details. We closed the deal with both a price and a home that were much to our satisfaction.
Ileana is a kind person and a true professional, who certains has the best interests of her clients at heart. We are now happily settled into a home we love, and we heartily recommend her services." -Erin & Gabriel Bisio
“My numerous real estate experiences have not been positive until my most recent transaction, which was a unique challenge - a seven million dollar house, only 70 % complete, to be offered for sale in the New York area on the eve of the economic collapse. The failure of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns was simultaneous with the marketing of the house. The timing and circumstances required not only an agent of exceptional still and diligence, but one with the capability to create marketing tools and develop resources independently. Also required were the talent and credibility to present a fairly high end sale that was complex and expensive for the buyer”. Ileana Slavin met that challenge and sold the property within three months of her retention. As I was in Europe for most of that time, I was able to depend on Ileana to manage all aspects of the project and to consummate the transaction during my absence. Having been a business executive and corporate project manager for most of her career, there was no dimension of this commission that was not well within Ileana’s capabilities. In particular, Ileana’s marketing of the property was without peer, and given the extraordinary nature of the property, there was no surprise when Ileana both listed and sold the property herself. I would recommend Ileana to anyone who would insist on the highest quality representation delivered on the most professional basis.” -E.Jachmann
“To say that Ileana Slavin is exceptional is an understatement! Not only is she knowledgeable about the area but she was tireless in her efforts to find the perfect house for me. When we would see an interesting property Ileana would immediately produce spreadsheets of comparable properties, research the history of the property and conduct other pricing analysis. Her backgrounds in business, marketing and the Internet have been invaluable in aiding my efforts to make the right choice.” -Marianne Howatson
"Ileana has the intelligence, work ethics and superb customer service to take care of a real estate client. I'll recommend her highly any time, any day" -EJ Lee MD
