EXIT Realty Achieve

Fantastic experience: Keeping this review short will be challenging because there is a very long list of the reasons we loved working with Tanya Brandes. The first time we met her was at a local restaurant where she was out to dinner with a client. The client raved about how amazing she was as an agent and as a human and I made sure I left that encounter with her contact information four years ago, not knowing I would have any intention of selling my house at that point; but I knew that if I was ever in need, she would be my phone call. When we decided to sell our house and transition our lives to another state, we called Tanya and we honestly never interviewed anyone else. She is incredible as an agent and as a human. Her patience is endless. She is a fierce negotiator and genuine advocate. Tanya listens intently to what is important to you and develops a plan that specifically suits you and the sale of your home. She managed and exceeded our expectations. I will always recommend her and deeply appreciate her.

Fantastic experience: Very knowldable and helpful.

Fantastic experience: It was an absolute pleasure working with Crystal! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and her professionalism and dedication made the entire process seamless. What really stood out was her ability to collaborate and work as a team, ensuring both of our clients had a smooth, stress-free experience. Her attention to detail, consistent communication, and commitment to keeping everything on track made this transaction a pleasure from beginning to end. Crystal is a true professional, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again!

Fantastic experience: We are incredibly grateful to Daniela for being by our side throughout the entire process of buying our home. From day one, she was absolutely amazing. She guided us through every step, patiently answered all of our questions, and was always there whenever we needed her. Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but Daniela made the entire process so much easier and more manageable for us. Whenever we faced an issue or had concerns, she was there to help, find solutions, and make sure we understood everything. Yesterday, we finally closed on our home, and we couldn’t be happier! We feel so lucky to have had Daniela with us throughout this journey. Thank you so much, Daniela, for your patience, dedication, kindness, and for making such an important experience in our lives so special. We truly appreciate everything you did for us and would recommend you to anyone looking to buy a home!

Fantastic experience: Amelia was very professional, trustworthy, dedicated, and a wonderful partner to me and my family. I would give her the highest grades and utilize her services again. Until the final moment of the closing Amelia was there. Bravo!!

Fantastic experience: Salvatore Di Puma was very easy to work with. He was straight forward when answering questions or concerns, was knowledgable about Comps in the area and worked with us to get the price we needed while advising us of properties in the area and what they were selling for. Even when revisiting our strategy Salvatore Di Puma came prepared with additional information to back up his suggestions and explanations as to why. Salvatore Di Puma was accessable to us to answer all our questions and concerns even late into the evening and weekends, and was in constant communication with us. He made the process as stress-free as paoosible and even when there were delays, Salvatore Di Puma kept us calm and reassured us that everything will work out and be okay. We would recommend Salvatore Di Puma, and Exit Realty, to friends and family as we had a very positive experience. Thanks Salvatore Di Puma for a job well done! We are very grateful for all the work you did.

Negative experience: Horrible experience with this branch. I was speaking to one of there agents trying to schedule a showing for a home. The agent from the start was very rude and condescending towards me which in a client facing role I find super disrespectful. I ignored that and proceeded trying to get an appointment. After speaking on the phone trying to get a few questions answered I was told that I would need to provide photo ID and a selfie with said ID prior to the showing. This was new to me as in all the other showings I recently went to it was never required. I told the agent I was uncomfortable with sharing my identity a physical government issued document to a random stranger over text and she was quick to write me off and basically told me well sorry thats too bad then. I asked a few other agents and looked online and found it is not a requirement however some branches do sometimes require it but this one stated it did not so I am still a bit confused. Nonetheless I am disappointed on how I was spoken to and im finding more of this behavior recently which for the life of me I cannot understand as if you want to gain someone's business the least you can do is be nice. I dont generally write reviews but this one needed to be escalated. I'll be expecting a response from the owner shortly which will likely consist of them defending said agent and listing a bunch of BS policies and regulations which im not falling for. I hope the agent starts to treat clients better as it really was not a nice experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ed Pearson. Ed has helped us sell three homes over the years, and each time, he has been absolutely amazing. At this point, he feels like so much more than our real estate agent — he’s someone we truly trust and are grateful to have in our corner. Ed is incredibly compassionate, patient, reliable, and knowledgeable. He always takes the time to listen, answer our questions, and make sure we feel comfortable with every decision. Selling a home can be emotional and stressful, but Ed has a way of making the entire process feel manageable because we know he genuinely cares about us and wants what’s best for our family. The fact that we have chosen Ed to sell three different homes says everything about the trust we have in him. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends!

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience working with Anthony! He was always on top of everything and really helped get the process moving quickly, which I really appreciated. He was constantly following up and was always available whenever I needed him. Being that this was my first time buying a home, it was just so nice having Anthony with me, walking me through every step of the process. I always felt like he had my best interest in mind and was there for me whenever I needed him. His communication, follow through, and support made the whole experience such a positive one. I’m really grateful I had him by my side throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a realtor!

Fantastic experience: We could not be happier with our experience with Tanya Brandes! From start to finish she made the process seamless. We felt like we were her top priority. The level of communication was superb. She was super thorough when it came to listening to our goals, looking at comps, coming up with the right listing price, getting the place ready to show. Once we listed, she was a powerhouse! From the private showings to the open houses then the almost 20 offers and the bidding war that followed, she was on point. She never let off the gas all the way to closing. Tanya treated us as if we were her family and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Fantastic experience: We regularly recommend EXIT Realty Achieve to our customers, and they never disappoint. Their team is professional, responsive, and truly cares about their clients from start to finish. Communication is always clear, the process is smooth, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure everything is handled properly. It’s rare to find a company that operates with this level of integrity and reliability. We’re confident every time we send someone their way, and we highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: Working with Tanya Brandes was a positive experience from beginning to end. She knows the market inside & out and guided me through the sale with confidence and patience. She eased the stress of selling and guided everything in a way that felt organized, calm, and manageable. What stood out the most was how Tanya always kept my needs & goals as the seller her top priority. I never felt like just another listing. Every conversation, suggestion, and decision showed she was fully invested in achieving the best possible result. She stayed in close communication, answered questions quickly, suggested reliable resources as needed, and made sure I always felt supported & informed. Tanya put in tremendous effort. The open houses she held were incredibly well attended, with people lined up outside waiting to come in. Her preparation, energy, and market knowledge really showed, & it all paid off in the end. The final outcome was even better than I expected, and I am very grateful to her.

Fantastic experience: This was my third time working with Tanya. I cannot put into words how awesome she is. She works super hard for her clients and doesn't disappoint. She is fair, knowledgeable and trustworthy. My wife and I consider her part of our family. Again, she is the best!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best!!!! Laura and Kate went above and beyond to sell our home. I would sh I could give 10 stars.

Fantastic experience: Love my family exit

Fantastic experience: I closed on my first home last week and Ed Pearson was fantastic. He helped me find the best home for my needs and made sure I was well-informed throughout the process. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and made the process so stress free!

Fantastic experience: Cannot rave enough about Amelia Vasquez. She is the best and truly goes above and beyond for her client. With her I didn’t feel like just another client. She made me feel like family and always had my best interest at heart. She was always available to me at whatever time and always on top of everything throughout the purchase of my home. Nothing slipped by her! I’m so grateful to have met her and have her represent me. I’d recommend her to anyone!! Thank you Amelia!!! You’re the best!!

Fantastic experience: Saling your house and starting a new lifestyle in a new state is scary. But my restate people made it easy. Like getting a warm blanket to wrapped around you. We sold the house in a week. I love my new life

Negative experience: If I could give zero stars I would. The realtor Shazia Khwaja lied to me as well as her husband. Prior to buy this home from her husband they have tried to hide multiple things. It has been more of a nightmare since. They tried to seek the house without telling us that the basement had no co. My husband and my lawyer found out. I could go on for days about the lies, mistrust at the hands of this woman who works for this real estate company.

Fantastic experience: Exit Realty Achieve for me is my second home because It’s family orient environment.

Fantastic experience: Real estate broker agency is concerned about the success of its agent and is always there to help in growth of its real estate agents.

Fantastic experience: Tanya did a phenomenal job helping us navigate the unknowns of home buying in a volatile market on Long Island. Tanya and her team of experts went above and beyond to secure us our first home. Trustworthy, creative problem solvers, professional and responsive are a few words that come to mind to describe this team. We are full of appreciation for all that Tanya and her team did to make this happen- we are so glad we put our trust in Tanya and her process. She not only is a talented real estate agent, but an awesome person. We left this journey with not only our go to agent but a friend. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: Buying your first home can potentially be a very intimidating experience but Shavona Layne with Exit Realty made it so easy for me and I could not have asked for a more amazing experience. She is the most professional realtor I’ve met and she was always available for calls/texts with any of my questions or concerns, 100% of the time. Shavona really cares about her clients and strives toward the goal of helping people find their dream home which is why she is so good at her job! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a genuine and enjoyable experience when buying a home. Thank you Shavona! I can’t wait to buy another home in the future so I can I can do it all again with you!

Fantastic experience: Excellent for you to find the best for less

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Positive experience: Very helpful agents

Fantastic experience: WENDY RIVERA SOLD ME MY HOUSE AND WAS VERY PATIENT CONSIDERING SHE LOOKED AT OVER 200 HOUSES WITH US, THAT MEANS ALOT TO ME AND MY FAMILY, WE DEALT WITH 2 AGENTS BEFORE HER THAT TRIED TO PUSH ME INTO A HOUSE BECAUSE OF FRUSTRATION OF US WANTING THE PERFECT HOUSE, WENDY FOUND US THE PERFECT HOUSE AND ON TOP OF THAT GAVE US PERFECT SERVICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MY FAMILY IS FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I cannot begin to express how Mr. Lewis has helped our family both sell and buy a new home. Our daughter is going through a difficult divorce and wanted to sell her home because they could no longer could afford the upkeep. Her husband was difficult throughout the process. This was the case until John entered the picture. He became the 'voice of reason' and through a bit of cajoling and reasonable arguments, he convinced my daughter's husband that it was in their best interest to sell their home. This was not an easy task, to say the least. Somehow, John was able to 'make it happen'. After one showing and a very successful 'Open House', many offers poured in. John was able to negotiate a fair price for the sale of their home. Within a very short period of time, John was also able to find her a condo, and, once again, negotiate a fair price for a lovely condo in a gated community. He was a life saver and she now has a home where her little family can get a fresh start. John is a expert negotiator and he knows how to move people in positive directions most beneficial to them. We can only reemphasize that our daughter's situation was dire. Without John's help it looked like she would never get out of a bad situation. He is our hero. It was not easy to deal with the husband and wife separately and make everyone happy, but John DID. He was always available to ease her fears and frustrations and guide her down the right path (and us too!) This is not the first time we have had to deal with realitors - selling an in-law's home, selling our home and buying our present home. We can, without hesitation, recommend John as a real estate person par excellence. He is without equal and the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. Iris and Sy Roth

Fantastic experience: You couldn't get a group of nicer people together then Smithtown Team Exit. AA+

Fantastic experience: It's been a year in a half since moving into my beautiful home in Commack and Nancy Shuster of EXIT Realty Achieve STILL finds the time to check in with me. She made the overall process of finding and buying our first home easy and enjoyable. She listened to what we wanted, steered us away from what we definitely did not want, and was there via phone, or email at any hour of the day to make everything go as seamlessly as possible. Nancy still remembers every birthday and holidays and always sends a card - something so minimal but always makes such a big impact on me. You won't go wrong with Nancy at EXIT Realty Achieve.

Fantastic experience: Some people don't realize how important it is to have an experienced agent. I am so glad that at Exit Realty Achieve I met John Molnar and Gisella Craig they were able to help me on the process of purchasing my home. We had a few bumps on the road but they were always willing and ready to help us. They both are amazing, every advice I needed it came from them. Buying a house and having them in my side was the best experience ever. Gisella never gave up. Thank you guys, and thank you Exit Realty Achieve....... :)

Fantastic experience: I purchased my home from Exit Realty. Nancy Shuster knew what my needs were and she stopped at nothing until she found it exactly what i needed. She was professional, persistent and personable. Thank you Exit and Nancy for helping me get exactly what i was looking for.

Fantastic experience: Erme Flores reviewed Jeff Hopkins of Exit Realty Achieve Jeff helped me buy a home, working with him was great. He enabled us to fulfill our dream. Before Jeff, I had worked with three other "VERY" well known real estate agencies local in the area and they made our house hunting experience awful. So awful, that they never even took the time to listen and hear what we wanted in a home. It seemed that we would look at houses that interested them and not us, there was never any attempt of negotiations. It was so bad that all of them told me that I would not find a home, instead I would need to save up more because there was absolutely nothing out there for us. (By the way they only showed us homes from their company listings.) Hope was down for my wife and I, we were ready to quit, then came Jeff . Jeff came to visit us and listen to what we wanted in a home, the price on a home that we were able to afford, basically we wanted someone that could negotiate for us and not for themselves. Jeff did an excellent job, he made a list of homes that matched our needs, he was very precise and knowledgeable in the area, very patient and easy to communicate with and his negotiation skills were on point and working at all times, for us!!!!!! Jeff made our experience great, we never felt pressured, we felt that we were in the drivers seat the whole time, unlike the other agents we had. Jeff is very professional, I definitely recommend him to everyone that is looking for a new home. He's great, thanks to him we have a our own home. Erme Flores, Brentwood NY Highly likely to recommend

Fantastic experience: I was disappointed in my 2 month search for a new apartment with realtors who all seemed to have the same character flaws. If they weren't ignoring our calls, they were dressed unprofessional, late to showings, uncaring or they were trying to push properties on us that didn't fit our requirements. I was starting to believe I would never find a new property until I met Kendra Demostene at Exit Realty Achieve and right away we could tell there was something different about her. She was courteous, energetic, thoughtful, polite and get this... she actually looked like a realtor!! She actually LISTENED (which I was beginning to believe was a lost art) when I explained to her that I wanted to stay within a certain price range! She didn't try the typical realtor trick of showing me something really nice out of my price range in hopes that I would accept that actually happened to us twice before. In other words she didn't waste my time or hers which is commendable. She also did something that I'll bet the kitchen sink that none of her previous comrades would have ever even considered. She trekked all the way to Brooklyn from Long Island in a massive snowstorm to show us a listing! I couldn't believe it. She impressed me time and time again over the short 2 week period that we had the privilege of enjoying. Her hard work paid off for all parties involved she found us a beautiful 4 bedroom 2 bath apartment that exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more thankful. She must've been the product of divine intervention. If that's so, and God really sent an angel to save us from the real estate abyss, let me just say God I owe you one!! For future endeavors there is no doubt in my mind who the right realtor is for the job!! If all your agents conduct themselves with the class, dignity and professionalism that Kendra Demosthene did then Exit Realty Achieve is a force to be reckoned with!! That type of dedication is rare in so many aspects of todays society that it is refreshing when you finally cross paths with it even in a business transaction. Heartfelt thanks and continued success!!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad that we chose Janis Thurnau from Exit Realty Achieve to sell our home. She was with us step-by-step, even prior to listing our house, with her suggestions of what we needed to do to present it in the best possible way.Together we looked at similar homes that were already on the market, and she explained their strengths and weaknesses and then compared them to ours. At all time she was mindful of our expenses, focusing our attention on only the most cost effective use of our time and money, and she was right. We received and accepted a fantastic offer after the first and only open house. I have already recommended her to my uncle, and they are getting that house ready to sell. Sincerely, Robert Marquette

Fantastic experience: We never expected to sell our home as quickly as we did, especially with so many houses on the market in our community. We hired Janis Thurnau from Exit Realty in Smithtown. After she looked at the "competition" she let us know what she should do to make our house stand out, and we did it. The offer we accepted came in very soon afterward, and we sold our house for the highest price of the same style home. Needless to say, we were very happy. She always kept us up-to-date on what was happening, made several trips to the house and to our attorney... whatever it took to expedite the closing. It went like clockwork. I would highly recommend her if you are buying or selling a house.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Natalie Lynch. She was professional, honest and VERY HELPFUL!!!!!!!! I highly recommend Natalie it has been a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I am in the process of selling my house right now, and my agent is Natalie Lynch. Natalie has been the most professional and honest real estate agent I've ever dealt with. Whenever I had a question, Natalie has always been able to give me an accurate and helpful answer, and always very timely as well. I had serious doubts about being able to sell my house for an acceptable price in this market, but I firmly believe, that if it weren't for Natalie's knowledge and keen negotiating skills, a deal would not have been struck, and I would still be looking for a buyer. I've also had the pleasure of speaking with broker, Susan Hamblen on many occasions, and she has been just as professional and helpful as well. Thanks Natalie & Susan, and Exit Realty Achieve for all your help!

Fantastic experience: “At Exit Realty Achieve, you can find folks like Gisella Craig and Lois Nash. They are throwbacks to a time when customer service was paramount. I have used other agents but never felt as cared for than when I dealt with Gisella and Lois.”

Negative experience: They wanted me to sign a buyers agreement to give 3% even though they are getting commission. (ex) if the agent gets only 2% for the commission you owe1% which can be huge depending on the house. stay clear from this place. No time for games I dumped them too.
