Ronda T. Akl

We hired her as seller attorney. We were trying to sell from and get away from the small/low growth city and the buyer was trying to short change us. On the day of the deal, the buyer threatened to walk out of deal since they didn't find something which was not written in contract. Rather than repre...sent us, she started putting pressure on us to cave in on price. We tried to be reasonable however she put more pressure on us to cave in. We stood our ground and deal happened late in day. She was unapologetic for her behavior.

I first contacted Ronda for consultation on a property I was interested in. Ronda was very helpful and I felt like she was working just for me and nobody else. As a result of that feeling I decided to hire Ronda as my real estate lawyer. In the last year Ronda has represented me in four real estate... deals and I am still amazed each time with not only her service but also her team. Real estate agents of the sellers have mentioned to me how quickly Ronda and her team have reached out to them to gather information. This makes me feel even more confident that I have a lawyer that represent me in every way to ensure I don't run into any surprises after the deal is done. Anytime I want to speak or email anybody at the office, I can that same day. Peace of mind knowing I picked the right team is a great feeling. When I am ready to make a purchase offer on a property, I notify the sellers agent and Ronda. Then I sit back and let Ronda and her team do what they do best and they always reach out and let me know how the progress is going and what will be coming next. I appreciate their honesty,handwork, and dedication every time they represent me. I cannot speak to the other review on this page, but I can speak to the experience that I have had working with Ronda and her team. Just to think it all started with a Phone Call.

Ronda and her team, were AMAZING. What a pleasure. I couldn't have had a better experience in purchasing real estate. I purchased a HUD home, which comes with some extra hoops to jump through. Robin her assistant was an expert, doing things ahead of schedule, so that everything would come toget...her perfectly. Ronda came recommended by my real estate agent. I was new to Syracuse. I read a review before calling, the review was negative. I thought to myself, I'm going to use her anyway, because you cant believe everything, and usually people don't take the time to write about good experiences. I was so happy I went with Ronda. It has been since spring last year that I closed on the home, and I was just thinking of how great they were, and finally got around to reviewing them. Good job Ronda and Robin.

My real estate closing was executed correctly and accurately. There is no doubt that this office knows how to conduct a real estate transaction. What is lacking is any communication or consideration. Phone calls and emails were not answered or returned. I was not kept informed of the status of ou...r transaction. No solutions were offered for obstacles or concerns. The lack of service and communication added greatly to the stress of closing/moving. This was my 6th home purchase.
