"When we wanted to list our property for sale, we immediately called Carmela. She is very professional and has a great working knowledge of the neighborhood. We signed our agreement on a Tuesday, showed the property on a Saturday and had 3 offers on Sunday and 1 was asking price. Carmela and her team were very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process. I can easily recommend her to any friends and family looking for the best real estate agent in Astoria, Queens."

Testimonials
“We bought our house through Daniela 3 years ago after viewing many houses with her for about 1 year. Daniela knew this house was perfect for our needs, as she was careful to understand our "must haves", ideal location, and budget. She made sure that we were among the first to see the house, and she negotiated on our behalf to help us seal the deal! ... She is extremely knowledgable about the NYC market, professional, hard working, and punctual. Overall, it is a very pleasant experience to work with her. I highly recommend Daniela for all of your real estate needs!”

TESTIMONIALS
We met Carmela when she was representing a house for sale in Astoria. That property ended up being pulled off the market (thanks Amazon!), but Carmela was very helpful in helping us to look for other properties in the area. We went through a lot of different options and Carmela helped us through some tough negotiations on a house that didn’t end up working out. We did finally find the right house and Carmela was helpful in getting everything signed and negotiated. She communicated efficiently when the sellers lawyer wasn’t being responsive, and she even drove over the signed contract and deposit check to the lawyers office in Flushing on a Friday afternoon. Like most realtors, she did seem focused on completing the sale, so we were glad to have a cautious lawyer in our corner. She is also always late, which can be frustrating, but not a big deal.

Testimonials
I can not thank Carmela enough for all she did in selling my Aunt's house that I inherited earlier this year. She is very professional and very in tune with the market. She was awesome throughout the entire process and did things that I wouldn't have expected an agent would do. Since I live out of state, Carmela not only recommended a locksmith but met him at the house when the locks were changed. She orchestrated the clean out of the house and since the buyers wanted the house empty, she was instrumental in having the current tenants relocated. She created such a buzz about the house that it sold for more than the listing price. I highly recommend Carmela for all of your real estate needs!

Bought a Multi Family home in 2017 in Long Island City, NY.
Testimonials
I have recently bought a house that was listed with Carmela and her office. I went through hell. Everything that could go wrong it did big time. believe it or not it took me 15 months to purchase the house. Half way I have lost the contract and Carmela herself stood by me and helped me get it back again while others were waiting on the line to get the house. i have excellent credit and i have my own Plumbing and Heating business but still nothing worked right. She believed in me and stood by me and finally i got it. I have two large dogs and i dont know where i would have been without her. Even on the closing day January 4th 2018 was a big snowstorm and we did a dry closing (banks closed for my down payment checks, title guy wasn't there, lending bank person with the check wasn't there, and half of all the people weren't there). Thanks to her and my Lawyer we made it!!! SHE SAVED MY LIFE!! Do i need to say more?

Testimonials
Carmela is incredibly patient, understanding and helpful. She helped my parents and I find the perfect house in Astoria within our budget in a short timeframe, and helped us find great renters after the purchase. This was our first time purchasing a property in New York City, and she explained everything that was new to us. Carmel also has a long list of tradespeople she can recommend if you need any help with repairs for your home. Before we started working with Carmela, I had several bad experiences with agents and brokers who either seemed dismissive or didn’t return our calls, but Carmela and her office staff are always prompt and responsive. She goes above and beyond.

My friends and I were looking for a three bedroom in Astoria, Queens and were having a lot of trouble finding an apartment that was affordable and conveniently located. We ended up working closely with Carmela and she was the absolute best! She was able to secure us a home that was originally priced at $3,000 on StreetEasy, for only $2,500 a month. Carmela also helped us find furniture, recommended movers, and gave us any additional advice we needed. We can’t thank Carmela enough and highly recommend her!

Sold a home in 1980 in Astoria, Queens, New York, NY 11105.
Testimonials
I had met with Carmela and her daughter Daniela earlier on in the year, when I wanted to list my property for sale. They were both very professional and had a great working knowledge and LOVE of the neighborhood. I wasn't in a rush to sell, and wanted to get top dollar in today's market. While it did take a bit longer than expected, all went smoothly in the end. They even worked with my friend and scheduled appointments with him on his schedule while I was out of town. Carmela was able to find the right buyer within her own network and it was an all cash deal. Carmela and her team were very attentive and very responsive throughout the whole process, via email and phone calls. I can easily recommend her to any friends or family looking for the best real estate agent in Astoria, Queens!

I was looking to sell my home quickly, so I contacted Carmela, knowing that she had found me a tenant so quickly when I was renting the 2nd floor apartment of my home. Well, Carmela did not disappoint. DAYS after I signed the agreement with her office, Carmela notified me that she had an offer at full asking price! The house had not even listed yet and it was already sold! Needless to say, I would highly recommend Carmela and her associates for ANY realty needs. She is fantastic and I am very grateful to her for making this the most painless house sale I have ever experienced.
