- Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Verona twp., NJ. We got in touch with Elisa through a recommendation from a dear friend, and right from the start, her availability and efficiency made it clear to us that we were in great hands. Elisa was never pushy or intrusive, but she skillfully guided us with immense patience through the complexities of the American real estate market, and more specifically, that of Verona, NJ. Elisa explained in a clear and detailed manner how the local market works, helping us understand the main dynamics that characterize it. Initially, our goal was primarily to understand how the market functioned, without having an urgent need to purchase. Despite this, Elisa demonstrated an extraordinary ability to grasp exactly what we were looking for, helping us define the conditions that would allow us to achieve our dream. In less than two weeks from our first meeting, we fell head over heels for a house adjacent to the golf course. Although there was strong competition, thanks to Elisa's advice, we submitted a winning offer. Our profile, being Europeans who had only recently settled in NJ, could have been a hurdle, but thanks to Elisa's professionalism and commitment, our offer was accepted. Elisa assisted us at every stage of the process, from submitting the offer to the property transfer, ensuring that everything was executed with utmost correctness and trying to expedite each procedure as much as possible to bring the closing date closer. We can't help but express our total enthusiasm for Elisa's work, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Verona, NJ.
