"Dear Neighbor:
It was my pleasure working with John Maher and The Maher Group on the sale of my home at 280 Park Avenue South. Words cannot express how impressed I was with John's professionalism, market knowledge, kindness and sincerity.
I had been considering selling my unit off and on for about a year, as I was planning to relocate internationally with my job. We discussed both the rental market and the market for sales, as well as how I could best get top dollar for my unit. After discussion with John, I planned to do some minor renovations to the apartment before proceeding further.
Then all of a sudden life happened. Circumstances led me to leave New York City in a hurry. John was my first call. We agreed the unit could be sold at a premium price without the renovations, provided I replaced one of the kitchen appliances. John personally went into the apartment and measured the space, researched options and found me the best deal. He was physically present at delivery, made sure installation went smoothly and assured the apartment was cleaned up for the first showing. It was truly above and beyond what I expected. He behaved more like a best friend than a realtor.
With his network of buyers, we had a full price all cash offer before the first open house. After the first (and only) open house, we had other offers and went to a best and final bid. The entire contract process was complete in three business days from the date of my signing the contract with him. I sold the unit above asking price in a very smooth all cash transaction with a quick close. At closing, the buyer's realtor expressed how lovely it was to deal with John, stating that he was one of the best realtors they have ever dealt with. I felt even more comfortable after hearing that, given their extensive experience in NYC real estate.
In a very tense personal situation, John did everything possible to take the stress off me. I never once felt pressured to act or make any decision. I felt he was always honest, professional and wanting me to feel comfortable and confident. Although I was present for the closing, the entire transaction took place with me outside of the city. Communication was never an issue.
Needless to say, I would recommend John Maher and The Maher Group without hesitation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and best of luck.
Kindest Regards,
Michele M. Sonier
