HCH Team at Julia B Fee SIR

Testimonials

When you are ready to sell your house, we highly recommend you contact The HCH Team at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s. Maria, Beth and Bernadette, who make up the team, are consummate professionals, a pleasure to work with, and sold our house in a relatively short time at a good price. While each sale is different, we feel several factors contributed to the success of the HCH team: 1. They worked as a team to reach out to more buyers and realtors than would be otherwise possible. 2. Their superior comparative market analysis helped us price our house so that it would sell. 3. They brought in a professional photographer who took beautiful pictures of our house. 4. They advertised the house in local papers and national websites and also printed a fantastic glossy brochure. 5. Finally, HCH consistently communicated and followed up with all parties involved in the sale to ensure that all issues were identified and addressed in an effective and timely fashion. We highly recommended -- Five Stars!

Bernadette Haley and her two HCH partners, Beth Hargraves and Maria Carlino, did a superb job helping us sell our home in Tarrytown, New York. After being on the market for two and a half days, the house garnered eight offers and ended up going for well above the asking price. The HCH team provided us with excellent advice every step of the way--helping us decide when to put the house on sale, how to stage it, how to handle multiple offers and even how to move out. Throughout a somewhat stressful process, Bernadette and her partners were supportive, cheerful and--surprisingly--lots of fun.

Why I'm glad I chose the HCH Team at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s Int’l Realty to help me sell my home of 25 years in Hastings: 1.Because of their experience. When they came to my house for an initial meeting, they brought information to leave including their impressive credentials, but I could already tell just from our conversation that these professionals really know their stuff. They know the Rivertowns; they know the market trends; they know buyers' shopping habits; they know local pros to recommend for repairs, cleaning, staging, etc.; and they know strategy, as in how to interpret the comparables in order to help a seller decide on a listing-price. 2. Because of their connectedness. "Hi, team," is how I started my emails to Beth, Maria and Bernadette. Without fail, one of them would reply almost instantly, and if I had a phone call with one, the others would "magically" be brought up to speed. 3. Because of their company's reach and reputation. Last time I bought a house, there wasn't much of an Internet. So I learned that it's ALL about the Internet. Sotheby's has a huge presence in all the right places online. I didn't want to ignore any potential buyers. We were on the same page recognizing that my buyers could be in NYC, Brooklyn or...Paris or Singapore. 4. Because of their high standards. A friend in my neighborhood had successfully sold her home recently with their help. She recommended them not only for their stellar personalities, but also for their collateral materials--the photography, etc. I couldn't agree more. When the pressure was on to get the house picture-perfect for the photographer just days before the open-house, I might have been frantic, but Beth, Maria and Bernadette were cool, calm and collected as they made things happen on schedule. 5. Because they delivered. I had four offers after the first week, and sold well above asking-price. They handled with a grace that comes with expertise the inevitably tense time of negotiating when there's more than one offer on the table. I was confident in following their advice throughout. And I'm so glad they didn't over-promise, but instead, over-delivered.

Working with the HCH Team was seamless; one of the three agents was always available to either show the house at a moments notice, or counsel when we needed advice, not to mention their savvy to put the real estate transaction together! We highly recommend the HCH Team whether buying or selling!

“What a treat it was working with the HCH team. You made the sales process so easy and we thank you so, so much. Glad it's over. I am a worrier so I was always thinking something would happen and the deal would fall through. But here we are at the closing table and it's all due to your marketing efforts and always being available to insure all was handled. THANK YOU!!”

“I would like to thank the entire HCH Team for your great work in selling 101 Half Moon Bay Drive, Croton-on-Hudson. Right from the beginning you made things go the right way. Your research was carefully analyzed and pricing recommendations were sound. You kept me up-to-date on what was happening through the entire sales process. Most importantly, you brought the negotiations to an excellent conclusion. Your efforts were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend the services of The HCH Team.”

"At first I called you "the 3 wives" and "the 3 musketeers", but really you're "the 3 wise women." Its just shy of 3 weeks since my house was listed on the MLS.. Over ask., now in contract - absolutely incredible!

The HCH Team truly went above and beyond all expectation to find us a house. They listened to all our "demands" and patiently walked us though house after house until we found one with a perfect view of the river. Thank you for your sense of humor, your caring, your good advice and the ease and efficiency with which you get business done. It's been such a pleasure to work with each of you on The HCH Team! We truly do appreciate all the hard work you put into finding us a new place to live. It's a bit like going on a blind adventure since you never know what you are going to find - and even then, you might need your trusty broker to tell you what you just found!! It has been a pleasure to work with The HCH Team. One of the team was always available to us which we greatly appreciated and each of you never skipped a beat. We hope to see you all again now that we live in the Rivertowns.

When I decided to sell my house, I planned to talk to realtors from three different real estate offices. I interviewed one woman but after I met the HCH Team from Sotheby's I knew I wasn't going to get in touch with anyone else. The three individuals that make up the HCH Team are people you can relate to: They are warm and friendly, open and knowledgeable about the process of selling, and confident and experienced without being pushy or deaf to the client's concerns. The buyers were using Sotheby's too; yet, the HCH team was totally devoted to my interests as a seller and the buyers were also very happy. A win-win for all! I highly recommend the HCH Team for your real estate needs.

We are so happy with the outcome of the process of our home sale and know that it could not have been achieved without the amazing support of the HCH team at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s. We are particularly grateful to Maria who guided us round trip: helping us to buy our home, keeping in touch over 9 years, and ultimately finding a buyer when we were ready to sell. Maria is multi-talented, having played such diverse roles as agent, friend, and therapist! We could not be more grateful and know that anyone looking to sell their home in the Rivertowns is in great hands with the Sotheby’s HCH Team as a partner!

“The HCH Team are consummate pros. They offered professional advice and guided us through the home selling process. We listened and it proved to be worthy advice. We can't thank them enough for selling our house in a matter of “hours”! We highly recommend The HCH Team for your real estate needs.”

Our neighbors had used The HCH Team and sold their home in a short time at an excellent price. We had not heard of them and decided to interview the group. We were immediately impressed. What sold us was the team approach and the group's different specialties. That turned out to be more than true. If someone was sick, everything took place seamlessly. They were also very flexible and willing to entertain different approaches for our particular situation, including getting an article in the local press. We are delighted with the sale of our home (Croton on Hudson, NY) and know that The HCH Team at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s made it happen. We are particularly grateful to Maria who guided us throughout.

The HCH Team sold my home in Tarrytown in less than a week, all cash over the asking price, and then secured a new home for me just as quickly. These women work with other professionals to get your home looking its best, photographed beautifully and include a floor plan so there’s no guess work for buyers. Once accomplished, your listing then gets the greatest exposure. What more can I say but thank you, Beth, Maria and Bernadette!
