HCH Team at Julia B Fee SIR

Testimonials

We want to thank Maria Carlino and the outstanding HCH Team at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s. We bought and sold our home in Irvington through The HCH Team and could not have found better partners.  Not only were they all incredibly professional with an amazing attention to detail but they went above and beyond expectations. Maria and The Team guided and supported us at every step, which as first-time buyers and sellers enabled us to sail through the process without the typical issues. We highly recommend The HCH Team and Sotheby’s to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Rivertowns.  We really couldn’t have done it without them and appreciate the entire team immensely.  Thank you.   

We were in the process of waiting for the sale of our NYC apartment to close when I first connected with Bernadette.  We spoke several times before meeting and she was diligent about asking questions about our family and what was most important to us when buying our future home.  We looked at several houses over a period of several months and she kept encouraging us to wait until we found the one that made us truly happy.  We are now moving into our dream home and it would not have been possible without Bernadette’s guidance and knowledge.  My husband and I were able to check every box when finally finding our home.  Bernadette was always available for us and has a way of placing you at ease even in the most stressful moments involving the closing process.  She is a true professional and was an absolute joy to work with.  You will be in greatest of hands with Bernadette Haley and The HCH Team.

Through the whole process we got so used to having regular contact with Bernadette and her team that once we finished, we wanted to start looking for a new property just to keep working with them. We were impressed by the team’s professionalism, tact and the way they walked us through the properties. They were always well-prepared, extremely diligent and patient, giving you the space to view the properties, drawing your attention to some important features, but not pressuring you or overselling the property. They provided just the right amount of everything! We will not hesitate to recommend Bernadette and her team to anyone who is starting to look for a property!

Even through a market downturn and one of the worst pandemics the World has ever seen. These ladies managed to keep their confidence and composure! They assured us that our home would sell, even when we became skeptical. Thank you Beth, Bernadette and Maria!!!

Moving is always stressful, but with COVID19 upon us, it was by far the most stressful project we have ever undertaken in our lives.  We are so appreciative for the ever-constant "Team" at our side; acting as therapist, mind reader, hand holder, problem solver and always answering our telephone calls and texts within minutes.  This is SO important when everything seems to be falling apart. We could not have done it without you and your "Team", Bernadette.

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!

We loved how Beth, Maria and Bernadette really collaborated as a team. Whenever we needed to speak to someone, one of the team was always available and so pleasant to deal with. We particularly loved how the team walked through our house and gave is really great staging advice, which we took to heart. Once our house hit the market, we had multiple above asking offers. Beth worked with us to help us find a new home just as quickly and the whole process was smooth and fairly effortless on our part. These women are really professional, know their market and are a delight to work with.

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!

Working with the HCH Team in buying and selling our house has been an extraordinary experience. At every step of this process, the HCH Team was available to provide sound professional advice. Our real estate journey extended over a period of nine months, and despite the many peaks and troughs that we experienced, the HCH Team in the person of Bernadette Haley remained persistent, supportive and objective. There was never any doubt that she was our advocate throughout resisting the impulse often found in the real estate industry to push the deal at all costs. We are pleased to have the opportunity to recommend the HCH Team. - Pleasantville, NY

“Bernadette and The HCH Team were experts at getting our house prepped for sale, from color palette to high-impact/low cost upgrades, and particularly with respect to pricing and feel for the market. I highly recommend them for your real estate needs. Great team.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
