Absolutely Wonderful Real Estate Services!

I was introduced to Anna-Maria by a friend who had recently purchased a home and could not have been happier! Buying a home for the first time was very stressful and having someone that knows what they're doing help you through the process was incredibly valuable. Will absolutely use her services for... any future needs, and will recommend her to anyone I know looking to purchase a home.

Reliable, professional, thorough - and a great bargian to boot

Anna Marie handled a very long, very difficult, and very stressful real estate closing for my home in Holmdel. This was a large transaction with a very long closing period and several contingencies. Needless to say, it turned out to be a very, very frustrating experience for us. However, Anna Mari...e was rock solid, dealt with all the drama and issues without batting an eye, handled some fire breathing angry folks deftly, and moved purposely and carefully through the entire process. She was a steady hand in this long and difficult process. She went far beyond the call of duty, and beyond what I her fees, in my opinion.

The process

Anna-Maria Pittella was a rock of support through a very difficult time in my life and her fine council helped me get passed the process and come out the other side as best I could . I think if I would have went to litigation things would have been much more contentious and difficult so I'm very hap...py I chose Anna-Maria to represent my interests !

Competent, experienced, and supportive

My husband and I worked with Anna-Maria Pittella for both selling/buying of our old/new home where both transactions were full of many challenges. Anna Maria was very knowledgeable and always responded quickly and provided guidance. Even when the situation became complicated, she got us through the e...ntire process with patience, ease and a positive outcome. We also worked with Anna-Maria to update our wills and sell a timeshare. She is highly professional yet creates a comfortable environment to 'get the job done'.
