Both my wife and I are retired real estate broker/owners and found Tom to be reliable, professional, honest and returned every phone call that we made to him during the transaction. We, without reservation, would highly recommend him to any person interested in buying or selling their home.

We have worked with Tom for a few years and absolutely recommend him! He helped us with a rental, and since then we have used him as both a buyer and a seller. Real estate transactions can be intense, yet Tom “gets it” and stays ahead of all the moving parts until the end!

Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with! He worked hard on the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. In a very difficult market, during COVID, he was able to help the stars align for a successful same day closing! We love our new home and are so grateful for Tom's perseverance, dedication and expertise. We trusted him with the process and so glad we did. Thank you, Tom! We will recommend Tom as a realtor to family and friends.

We had a great experience working with Tom Tripodi of Tripodi-Shemtov Team at Douglas Elliman. Tom knew exactly how to market our home and was very quickly able to find a buyer. All went very smoothly in all of our interactions with Tom. We highly recommend him and his firm!

Tom Tripodi is the consummate professional. He is knowledgeable, genuine, patient, and responsive. We have bought and sold several properties with Tom and our experiences working with him could not have been better. We would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.

Richard helped me so much - I was so confused about where I want to live and if I want to rent/buy. He took the time to educate me and take me around to different neighborhoods. I am now going to buy and am looking forward to working with him once I am ready!

Angela is extremely kind and knowledgeable. She assisted and guided me in the search for a new home. I recommend anyone looking for an agent to give her a call!

Angie is great at what she does. She helped us purchase our first home and would recommend her to anyone. Angie is efficient and knowledgeable and was very patient with us throughout the entire process. We always felt comfortable with Angie because she was always there whenever we needed her.

We've been working for Angela for several months. She has a full understanding of the market. She's gone above and beyond in providing guidance on matters such as insurance, inspections, and comps. There's no one else we would even consider working with for our future real estate needs. Highest recommendations.

GENI is a great real estate agent with strong market knowledge and understanding of people. She introduced us to the Woodmere area, explained to us the market dynamics and showed us some really great properties. I was particularly impressed with her patience to help us figure out what we want. Would absolutely recommend her and relist her to both buy and sell our home!

Had an extremely pleasant experience with Genia Eitan! She was extremely accommodating with my busy work schedule and listened to all of me and my husbands needs in searching for our most perfect home. As it was our first time searching to buy, there were many times we would change our minds about the requirements for our home but Genia was always patient and made sure to meet our needs. She was the only agent we have met with who genuinely showed excitement in what she does! She conducted herself with utmost professionalism and was highly knowledgeable and I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

I recently worked with Genia when moving to Long Island to find a home to raise the kids. We were moving from Manhattan. Genia was always eager to help us in every step of our journey. She was super Proffesional and her knowledge and expertise was super impressive. I highly recommend Genia to any one or family that is looking to relocate or move to Long Island.

We contacted Angela to show us some properties out east for a possible summer home. She immediately returned our call and went to work researching possible homes for us to see. She lined up numerous homes that fit our exact criteria. She was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We will be using Angela for all of our future real estate needs.

We've purchased multiple homes with Tom in Long Beach. He took the time to really understand what our needs were and delivered. He is very responsive, has a deep understanding of the local market, negotiated hard on our behalf and delivered us houses we love. I highly recommend Tom if you are looking to purchase a home in the Barrier Island area.

Genia is very responsible and competent real estate agent, who helped us a lot to sell our house. She was always available to all our requests, she has a detailed deep knowledge of current seller- buyer market. Her easy going, though very professional work style helped us a lot by negotiating. I highly recommend Genia Eitan as a real estate agent

From the moment we met Tom, he has demonstrated his willingness to be helpful. He was able to answer questions with as much detail as we wanted. His work ethic is extraordinary. He's quick to respond to calls, emails and texts. He goes beyond the call of duty to be helpful. Tom was always truthful and upfront about each house that we looked at, what the housing market was doing and what he thought was going to happen. He also let us know if he saw something questionable about a house that we may not have been unaware of. Tom knows the Long Beach area market and knows how to problem solve. We relied on his expertise and would use his services again in a heart-beat.

Being a sales professional myself I can say Genia Eitan is as professional and courteous as it gets. We’re looking for a home in Woodmere, my wife and I know nothing about the area, Genia is a local resident and we thought it may be a better idea to make our purchase with someone who has the knowledge of real estate we are not educated about. She was able to get us all the appointments we needed and is very organized with all the information. Glad to have met you, thanks The Collimons

I have dealt with a lot of real estate agents in my years. Never have i had an agent as helpful and knowledgeable as Angela. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, Angela will get it DONE.

Ive been looking to rent an apt for months and every year Ive been moving its been such a hassle. My main problem is getting an agent that's dedicated enough to help me, most are so busy and so full of stories that I cant get what I need done. I looked into the Salt Meadow project in Far Rockaway, when inquiring I was quickly answered by Genia, she made an appointment with me within minutes and was earlier than I was to the appointment. No nonsense, she showed me around, and even offered to show me other properties so I can settle in on a particular unit (whom do you know that has patience for all that nowadays) I was excited about the move, we signed a lease and Im really happy. I referred her my sister as well, might be a neighbor of mine! Alex P

I will definitely recommend Tom for any real estate service that you need. The process was seamless and stress free with him. Plus, even before we got the house listed on the MLS he already had a buyer for my house. Also he knows how to negotiate and get the best price for your home. He understand the market and home value.

Tom is a hardworking agent. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. His communication style was totally on point throughout the selling process. He out ranked the previous agents I came across. I was very impressed with his caring quality, which means a lot when dealing with clients. I definitely will seek him out again on my next home purchase.

Tom is the most experienced real estate professional specializing in Atlantic Beach, Long Beach and Point Lookout year in and year out. I have purchased two properties from him this year, one we live in and the other we rent and he found the tenant for us. Tom is well known and has a network of buyers and sellers who have done multiple transactions with him. If you are looking for a no nonsense professional who will get you the best deal possible and who will work the deal each day, look no further.

Tom did a great job at selling our home. He priced it right, gave great advice on what improvements we should make to the house for selling, and negotiated effectively with the buyer to get us a price we were satisfied with. The house was under contract in just over two weeks. Communications were excellent and Tom was very responsive to any worries or concerns we had during the listing and sales process. We were happy we listed with him, especially because of the awesome job he did on photos and videos for marketing the house.

Tom exceeded our expectations with the recent sale of our home. He was extremely professional and provided us valuable insight in developing the strategy for selling the home in the tight time frame we needed. Beyond the market analysis, marketing materials, and dedication to our listing through the whole process, Tom was a tremendous help in coordinating contractors and finding the right resources to assist as things came up during pre-sale prep and inspection. I can honestly say we could not have done this without him and we are extremely satisfied with the outcome of our transaction. Tom is truly the best agent I have ever encountered and I would recommend him to anyone.

Tom was a great realtor and advisor. He was knowledgeable about the current market conditions as well as the best way to market a property. Tom gave us amazing guidance along the way and we were very happy with how our property sold. I would hire him again in a heartbeat  and recommend him to anyone.

Tom was incredibly helpful, proactively finding a buyer and doing a great job managing the process for us. He is very thorough and knows the market extremely well. I would definitely work with Tom again

Steve was very proactive in helping me find the right house. He was knowledgeable about the house he showed us. He was consistent and contacted me daily with new listings. I would recommend him highly

I don't know how he does it but Rich handled our deal with grace and extreme patience! Rich knew exactly what we were in the market for even though we didn't! It was a pleasure to work with Rich and highly recommend his services!

Tom’s knowledge of our community and his years of experience in the real estate market were key assets in the sale of our home. His expertise made the whole experience from listing to closing smooth and as stress free as we could have hoped for. We would recommend Tom whole heartily and without reservation.

My experience with Maurice has been nothing but wonderful! He is very receptive and knowledgeable in his field which was comforting as a first-time tenant. He aims to make all his clients comfortable and satisfied and succeeds in doing so! He provides great service in showing clients homes as he takes their needs into account, making the house hunting process much smoother and stress-free. Five stars!

Maurice is just incredible. He is knowable, reliable, and prompt. He made the daunting process of finding a tenant for my Nolita apartment seamless and worry free. Every step of the way I felt well informed and secure that all of the details of handing over my home were carefully managed so I could focus on my family and job. Throughout my tenants lease term Maurice has been on hand to answer all lease questions that have come up and I am genuinely looking forward to working with him again, not only for my next tenant, but for when I move to my next apartment. I simply cannot recommend him enough.

Maurice Moore represented us recently as our Real Estate Agent in selling our Coop. condo and buying a condo in Manhattan. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive person in dealing with our needs to list, sell, and buy a property in Manhattan with 1031 exchange in a timely manner. We are so thankful to meet deadlines for all our needs to complete the transactions and successfully processed. He played a major role in these 2 transactions selling, and buying a property in Manhattan. We were so happy with the results. We highly recommend Maurice Moore in the Realty business.

Maurice is amazing. He showed me loads of places, including listings that only he knew about, and found me the perfect home. Excellent service and went the extra mile. I am recommending to all of my friends and family who are in the real estate market!

I have worked with various realtors before and have found them to be extremely incompetent. I found the exact opposite with Rich. Rich was great to work with during my home buying journey. He was patient and looked with me until I found something that felt like home. He knew exactly what I was looking for and didn't waste my time like many agents have in the past. Anytime I needed something or had a question he was on top of it right away. Rich will go out of his way to make sure you are happy. He was also honest when I asked for advice on putting in offers on homes. I highly recommend working with Rich!

Angela went above and beyond to help us purchase our home. She was always available for questions & advice and anytime we requested to view a property, Angela secured a viewing within the hour. We were more confident in our choices because of Angela's knowledge and skillful negotiations and always felt like we were in great hands. We couldn't recommend Angela enough. She is truly one of a kind and we were so grateful to have her as part of our home buying team!

He is very responsive and attentive to your needs. his knowledge and negotiation skills are superb. his help in getting the contract and closing done was way above the norm for real estate agents.

Tom Tripodi is amazing at what he does. He is an expert in the Lido Beach , Long Beach and Island Park area. He tremendously aided me in the Purchase of 171 Warwick. I highly recommend Tom if you are buying or selling on Long Island.

Excellent customer relations. Rich always answered a phone call from me or returned it in a timely manner. He was very punctual and always on time for appointments. Rich did a good job in negotiating for me. I would work with Rich again in the future.

Rich helped me purchase my first home. I became in contact with him via Zillow because of the first property I was interested in, and from there he was open to showing me properties of interest to me as well as doing his own research to find properties that met my criteria. He was always responsive when I needed information from him or the seller. Would absolutely recommend!

Gil was great we have been working with him for a little bit over 1 year looking at houses. Every time a new listing came up he contacted us and showed it to us. 3 months ago he showed us a house and today we finally closed. Thanks Gil for all the help !!

Tom has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. His knowledge and understanding of the housing market made it very simple for me and my wife to come to a perfect sale price and he also limited a lot of stress along the way. I would highly recommend Tom Tripodi and will definitely use him in the future.

The stars are right. Gil knows. He knows the market, knows the process and knows how to negotiate. I would recommend his services. I trusted him with my home sale and he was dedicated and motivated throughout the entire process of listing to closing. In many cases went above and beyond expectations.

Wow - If you want a realtor who knows their business, knows the market, knows the properties and has integrity look no further than Tom Tripodi. He worked with us to find the perfect place for our family, and made sure we became educated about the market and the specific locations we were considering. He is patient, responsive, a straight shooter and a nice person on top of that! I would urge anyone considering buying or selling a home in the south shore to reach out to Tom. He will save you both time and money.

Tom did a masterful job negotiating the sale of our apartment in Long Beach. Amazingly, we had an offer accepted in under a week, actually, it was only two days. Not only did he sell, but we negotiated a price over asking. Thanks to Tom, we are all set. Great job!

Maurice was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. He offered excellent advice and answered every question that I may have, he is very responsive to all of my questions replying to my voicemails and emails on weekends and nights. Maurice is informative, has his clients best interest at heart, and always makes himself available for you. Maurice is professional, organized, has a pleasant personality, and goes above and beyond for his clients.I will definitely be referring Maurice to my family and friends. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Buying a new home can be daunting, but Cynthia made the process as painless as possible- and she found us our dream home! She was extremely helpful and was willing and available to answer any and all questions I had (and I had a lot). Now, I recommend Cynthia to all of my friends and family in the area.

Maurice was a pleasure to work with. He made my girlfriend and I feel comfortable every step of the way of the process of getting our first home together. He was always available to answer any questions we had and was a consummate professional. He made what could have been a stressful experience go incredibly smoothly! We were fortunate to work with him!

Maurice was amazing! He was very proactive in getting our family to visit as many homes as possible until we found our perfect fit. Maurice excelled in communication and responsiveness when our family had any questions/concerns. I would recommend to anyone looking for an open and easy process during what can be a high stress time.

Maurice Moore One of the best real estate agents I’ve ever worked with. He was attentive and found my family the property we were looking for in a short amount of time. He stayed within my budget. His response time to text messages and emails was great. I highly recommend Maurice, because he gets the job done.

As a newcomer in the US looking for a rental place in Long Island, I was very lucky to have Maurice for agent. He had all the answers to my many questions, he was very easy to communicate with and very friendly. He is an agent you can defenitly trust! Highly recommanded.

THE BEST real estate agent in Five Town/Long Beach/Oceanside area!! Very focused, dedicated 24/7 with a lot of patience to help and find the exact match for his clients. He never wasted my time and always showed me relevant houses in my search for a house. HIGHLY recommended for fast and efficient move! Thank you Richard, you were great!!

Tom and his team are dedicated professionals who really came through in the sale of our home. We are very grateful for his hard work and the end result his team was able to produce for us. His service was impeccable, I would absolutely recommend Tom.

Genia is a professional with a thorough understanding of her industry. Her straight forward honest approach proved my confidence in her was not misplaced. My home, which was originally listed with another firm for over 6 months, went unsold and was a prime example of total lack of effort on the part of the previous firm. When I gave the listing to Genia, not only did we have offers within a very short time directly as a result of her marketing, but I was able to complete a satisfactory sale and close within a very short time as well. I come away from this experience feeling Genia fully represented my interests.

He’s the best!! Sold our house quickly and for top dollar! We had multiple offers in just two weeks. Excellent communication skills and explained everything as needed. Highly recommended!!

Rich was wonderful. He knows Long Island and neighborhoods well. He helped my family and I find our dream home. Very knowledgeable, great negotiator, and beyond professional.

I would like highly recommend Angela to handle ANY of your buying and selling needs. I actually never met her due to CoVid but was very pleased to have interacted with a realtor who was so responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind! She was simply outstanding and a pleasure to work with!

This is the second time we used Gil, and he is a delight to work with. He has been there every step of the way. He always quickly responded to our emails and calls. His knowledge of the area and honesty and work ethic has been much appreciated.it took us a while to find our castle by the bay but we did. We highly recommend him. Dale and Adam Singer

Rich has been helping my wife and I out. He has shown true professionalism. When COVID19 hit instead of rich minding his own business he was researching a ton of property’s in specific communities that I was interested in. He always has a smile and treats his everyone like family. He makes sure to have all the answers before sending the listing. I have gone house shopping and apartment searching In The past. This is the first time I have ever had an amazing competent agent that went above and beyond to find me the BEST DEAL! I highly recommend Rich. If you have the privilege to have rich on your team you will not only gain an amazing real estate agent that will find you the perfect house. You will also gain a new family member and friend! *****10 stars!!!!*****

Throughout the process, Angela was honest, friendly and extremely knowledgable. She made my wife and I feel so comfortable with our first home buy. You know she cares because she's involved in the community in which she does business. I will be using her for any and all real estate dealings from here on, no one else. She is really the best choice.

Richard was a pleasure to deal with. He was always on top of every listing and question in a timely manner. He went above and beyond scheduling and showing us every potential listing with our exact criteria. He never steered off course and was diligent in finding us the perfect home. He even took a trip to the department of buildings to have some zoning questions answered for us which wasn't in his job criteria but the close attention was very much appreciated. Thanks for your amazing work ethic, you made shopping for a home a real pleasure!

First time buyers will be in good hands with Richard. Were it not for Covid, I am sure Richard would have held my hands the entire time. No question was too big or small. I will certainly recommend Richard to all of my friends nd family.

Richard took us to approximately 5 properties in the Hewlett Harbor area. We were very satisfied with his knowledge and experience working in the area. He followed up in a gentlemanly manner and was not pushy. He answered questions and was thorough when my wife and I were evaluating the properties. I would recommend Richard to friends and family.

dealt with Rich in finding a home very professional and hard working highly recommend was very attentive to my needs and what i was looking for always looking for what the customer is looking for

The best agent in real states i recomend to anyone because he's always on time at any appointment and he's expert in this process and know a lot about the good and bad thins in the house and he help you until the end of the process

Fantastic experience with Gil on both buying and selling side. He promised us he would sell our house within 4 weeks, 1 week later we had an accepted offer above asking price. Definitely recommend.

Richard was super patient with me (first time homebuyer) and was definitely able to evolve was he was showing me based on my feedback and preferences as he (and I) got to know what I was looking for.

Rich was so responsive, knowledgable, and generous with his time. My wife and I spent a day with Rich in Oceanside looking at 5-6 different houses, all pre-screened by Rich. We ended up deciding to hold off for now, but we will be going back to Rich when we are ready, hopefully next year -- and not just because he is the husband of my cousin's cousin :).

We have used Gil for our last 3 moves and he has been nothing but the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, incredibly responsive (literally will answer you even at those hours where you wonder if you really should be texting or calling anymore) and best of all, he doubles as somewhat of a therapist when the home buying/selling process has you near tears. I highly recommend Gil Shemtov!

Rich is great and very responsive. I will be contacting him again in the future when I need to sell and buy! He is especially knowledgeable about homes on the south shore in Long Island!

Amazing person!! Reliable and knowledgeable about the market and knew what we were looking For..he listened to us carefully and executed..He is now part of the family goes above and beyond for his clients

We have been working with Richard for about a year and I can honestly say he has been great to work with. He knew exactly what we were looking for and help us every step of the way. I would highly recommend him!!

Gil Shemtov was great to work with from day one. He was always available to answer questions and took the time to explain everything in great detail. The home buying process wasn’t easy but he was able to make it easier. I would definitely recommend Gil to anyone looking for a new home. He knows the area and he knows the process. He made our experience a good one during a difficult time. I’m sure you’ll find his help and guidance as wonderful as we did. Thank you Gil for all your hard work. You helped us make a dream come true.

We highly recommend Gil. He was professional, responsive and honest. He had an excellent sense of the market and gave us an accurate idea of the value of our home. He helped us complete a deal within 2 weeks of our home hitting the market. He has had valuable advice on people we could hire to clean the house. He did a wonderful job.

I can not say enough great things about Tom and his team. We used his services to buy and sell our first home in Long Beach, and he was patient and negotiated both deals for us. I look forward to doing business with Tom again in the future when the times comes! He will get you the best deal on both sides of the matter. Great guy!

Richard was hard working and very considerate of our needs. He provided good advise and kept us regularly informed. He was always punctual and kept all of his appointments with us. Richard was always pleasant, polite and easy to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Tom Tripodi was the easy choice for my wife and I when it came time to sell our Long Beach co-op.Tom is professional, knowledgeable,and was able to sell our co-op during the pandemic.He is patient and was always willing to answer and questions we had to help make the process a seamless experience.

Rich was amazing to work with, he was patient, understanding and really listened to our needs. As first time buyers, buying a house is never easy let alone during a pandemic, but he made the whole experience a lot less stressful than i anticipated. We have recommended Rich to a few friends already who are thinking about making the move out to Long Island. He was always available to answer any questions we had and offered any advice when we needed it. Thanks Rich for helping us buy our first house!

It's been a great pleasure working with Richard to find our first home. He has patiently shown us well over 2 dozen homes until we found the one that matched all of our needs, wants and financial abilities. Once we found the house, he fiercely negotiated a perfect deal for us both in terms of price as well as fine terms. Richard patiently answers all questions and concerns, always on time and knows the process of purchase/sale in great depth. I strongly recommend Richard as an honest and reliable real estate agent that gets things done.

The team has a great knowledge of the local area and Cynthia came to the initial meeting prepared with comparable sales and competing homes currently on the market. Was quickly able to help us arrive at the right price to list our house as well as expectations of where we would end up. Was able to quickly schedule professional photography and get the home listed. We had several viewings within days and fielded offers within the first two weeks. Cynthia personally attended all showings, inspections and appraisals. All around a great experience.

We first met Gil when we checked out a prospective purchase. He was knowledgeable, easy going, and sincere. We got good vibes immediately. When it was time to list our house, there was no question he was our choice. He handled the entire listing process expertise and confidence. Gil knows the ins and outs of the trade and will be there for all your questions. If you are looking for an agent, I strongly recommend you use Gil Shemtov.

Tom was fantastic. Our time with Tom was lots of phones calls/texts and emails before we spent only one afternoon before submitting bids on our potential future homes. His advice when negotiating while ensuring our decisions were our own was proof he not only has real estate expertise and experience but years of also working with clients finding their homes. He valued our time and was honest, realistic, and professional. We highly recommend him!

Tom Tripodi lives and works on the barrier island. His knowledge from Point Lookout to Atlantic Beach is the culmination of a lifetime of living, developing and transacting in these communities. You simply cannot find someone with a sharper eye for value. Tom has become a trusted friend whom I endorse and recommend for buying or selling real estate.

Gil was the consummate professional and a critical part of making this sale happen, from start to end. He helped both parties navigate a lengthy and complex process, providing guidance and support along the way. Thank you!

Extremely professional. Always answered the phone when I had questions. Went above and beyond on making sure the deal would close when selling my house. High quality pictures and listing, received first day full offer!!

My wife and I live in Manhattan and were interested in purchasing a coop or condo in Long Beach with an ocean view. We wanted a second home, and we love being near water. Before meeting Richard, another realtor had shown us a number of properties that were nice with good amenities, but had an institutional feel. Richard understood our needs and zeroed in on three properties, two of which we liked instantly. His agency had pre-warned us that demand was high, and that prepared us to move fast. We showed up for a second look at the top property on our list (a condo) with our lender’s pre-commitment letter, and a checking account loaded with enough cash to prove we could cover the likely down payment. That proved useful. As we were leaving our top choice, we noticed other prospective buyers on their way in. We wanted to negotiate and we wanted our offer to be accepted. Richard was very helpful here, suggesting the “magic number” (about 2% less than the asking price). Result proved out his expertise. Equipped with cellphone screenshots of our lender’ s pre-commitment letter and checking balance, Richard worked with the listing broker (helpfully, a colleague at same agency), and got us a verbal commitment within hours. We went to contract, and closed on our condo yesterday. In the 2 1/2 intervening months, Richard remained in contact with us, and made himself instantly available for all of our queries, large and small. For example, when we wanted the comfort of an engineer’s inspection, he provided us a couple of local recommendations; the one we chose was perfect. Richard’s personal style is warm, and his responses hit the core of your question with no B.S. In summary, if you want a straight-shooting yet empathetic realtor to buy through in this area, we both recommend you begin your search with Richard.

We were extremely impressed with Rich's knowledge at one of his open houses that we decided to have him represent us in our search for a new home. We definitely chose the right person to guide us through the process. Rich has been professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and always on time for our appointments. He isn't pushy just to make a quick sale and will give you his honest opinion on the homes that you're looking at, good or bad. He also has contractor experience which allowed him to provide valuable insight on the condition of the homes that we looked at and what could be done with the space. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rich to any of our family or friends. He is just an all around great guy.

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and reliable realtor. The apartment is spacious and easy to make my own. Explained all my options in meticulous detail, and worked out a plan that would benefit me in a comfortable manner. Highly responsive to any inquiries asked and definitely a consideration in my future if i were to move.

Tom Tripodi is the best residential broker anyone could hope to hire. Tom is a pros pro that is exceptional in his craft. In short, he is what is right in the residential brokerage community. You would be hard pressed to find a more critical and demanding seller than myself. After 40 years in commercial real estate operations, I have a high level of expectation with respect to performance. In addition, I am not known for patience. Tom skilfully navigated between my exceptionally high expectation level and a buyers side that could only be described as somewhat lax at best. With me ranting and venting daily, Tom brought the deal to a successful closing. Thank you Tom; it was an absolute pleasure working with you.

Rich is unbelievable as a real estate agent. He got me out of a terrible deal which was dragging on and on and was able to shift me into a phenomenal 3 family home for almost the same price as my first deal! I was able to get in touch with Rich at almost all hours of the days and weekends. Rich’s work ethic is a rarity to find nowadays as he has the “get it done and do the right thing” on top of his professionalism. If you want to find someone trustworthy and worth your time and money, Rich is that guy. The “after the sale” service is just another icing to the cake as he was willing to help me find great tenants for my rentals as well. There’s not enough words to describe what Rich brings to the table No games 100% transparency 5 stars is an understatement of what this gentleman provides.

Gil was a great help in this process. His outstanding negotiation skills allowed me to sell my home for top dollar with multiple offers. If you're thinking of selling your home in today's market, you should choose Gil. He is the best.

What do I say about Gil? Is he a great realtor? Yes, no doubt. But he is more than that. Is it a realtor’s job to check mouse traps when pest control is needed to sell a house? Certainly, not. But did Gil do it? Absolutely, yes, and without blinking. Is it a realtor’s job to deal with uncooperative tenants(?) who refuse to move before closing? No. But did Gil do it? Yes, very diplomatically. Gil will do whatever it takes to sell a house. I brought him a project – a 63-year old home that my mom let go as she aged. The inspection revealed big things, expensive things, that needed upgrading. We went through six unsuccessful offers, as a result. I became concerned, so when the seventh offer came in, I felt desperate to take it – as is. But Gil convinced me to push just a little further, and we came away with a few thousand dollars more. Gil has an intuitive sense for when to push and when to stop. He is persistent, in a helpful way, and enthusiastic. I was afraid, at one point, any realtor would walk away from this house sale. But Gil doesn’t know the word “failure.” For that I am grateful. Gil will be your realtor and your ally if you choose to hire him. And I highly recommend you do.

I have dealt with Tom for 3 separate transactions and have found him to be the best there is. He is prompt, knowledgeable and a man of his word. He sold my property in a matter of 3 days at a great price. What more can I say?? Michael M. Robinson

Prior to signing on with our realtor Rich Baumel we had another realtor appraise our house for far less and told us rather emphatically that we would never receive a penny more than what she appraised our house for. When we met Rich Baumel for the very first time not only did confidently tell us he could sell our house for far more he delivered! We had encountered some unforeseen difficulties along the way however, Rich was so helpful and guided us through some very rough hurdles. He is a true gentleman and the nicest guy.

Our realtor Rich Baumel was very helpful very responsive and a pleasure to work with from the time we first met throughout the process and at completion of sale, thank you so much for all your help THOMAS BESEDIN

Gil’s THE GUY you want in your foxhole! I’ve trusted him to represent me in both purchasing and selling. He’s patient during the search, knowledgeable and practical, energetic and confident during negotiations. An excellent advocate and sounding board. They say the highest compliment you can give is a referral and It’s with great pleasure I refer Gil.

Working with Gil was truly a pleasure. His approach, his knowledge of the market and his marketing and negotiating skills coupled with his easy manner, empathy and compassion made the whole experience seamless. He brought the right buyers at the right price to make the deal happen. Throughout the process, he was always available for help and guidance. If in the future, I was listing my home or looking for a new home, Gil would be the one I would call.

Thomas was knowledgeable about the entire process, very easy to work with and helped the deal flow smoothly. He was readily available to provide us all of the assistance necessary.

Gil is the guy you want to trust in buying and/or selling your home. Very knowledgeable, friendly, has alot of patience in finding you the right home, trustworthy and very reliable and responsive. He's one of the nicest guys you will meet and he's a pleasure to work with.

Gil was amazing. He was always available to answer our questions and help us through the process. If you’re thinking of selling your home you should definitely call Gil. Truly a 5 star experience

Great experience working with Richard very knowledgeable in different areas He was always on time at every house viewing i would definitely recommend him to any of my family and friends

Gil was extremely patient with us for months until we found our dream home. He knew exactly what we were looking for and didn’t stop until we found it. He knows the area very well and helped us navigate what would work for us. I truly appreciate all the hard work and highly recommended him.

Gil was amazing. We met him while looking at one of his properties and even though we drove him a little crazy when trying to negotiate (and ultimately backing out) Gil was kind and patient throughout the whole process. We were so impressed we asked him to be our buyers agent. Best decision we made. The process was stressful enough as it is but Gil made it that much better. Always friendly, never pushy and very knowledgeable. Only reason we were able to get the house we wanted was because of Gil's expertise and advice. You can't go wrong with choosing Gil.

We met Gil through chance when we started looking to move out of NYC. We immediately felt comfortable with him and trusted him. He was absolutely amazing to work with! His professionalism, patience and understanding were felt the entire process and made selling and buying a seamless process. I know first hand that all parties enjoy working with him; from real estate brokers, to the lawyers to the decorators, EVERYONE enjoys working with him! He is a 5 star brokers for sure and I would highly recommend Gil. Anyone would be lucky to work with him. Ali Zipes

I am beyond pleased that we were able to find our first home from the help of Maurice! He was understanding of our needs we wanted for the house especially since we have three kids. He did the beyond and above for us.

Extraordinary, Conscientious, Integrity, Diligent, Quality, and Tom Tripodi- these words and this man are bound together forever in this writer’s opinion. My husband and I have had the opportunity to work with Tom in the purchasing of our new home in which he represented both the buyer (us), and seller concurrently. This gave me a unique insight into Tom’s character as an individual. I can say with great certainty that Tom Tripodi is an incredibly humane individual who possesses an unparalleled work ethic. His fortune is his ability to effortlessly and ethically bind the two together, making him the highly successful, respected, and sought after man he is. It really goes beyond praiseworthy…Tom is beautiful outwardly and inwardly- unrivaled in his profession and in a league of his own as far as character. Tom helped us purchase our home in a just and fair way, while at the same time remaining totally invested in his care, warmth, diligence, integrity, and unwavering protection of the seller. One could not help but notice his kind, intelligent, gentle, guiding, resourceful, and assuring manner with the seller… and with us as well. His advice to both parties in the transaction was spot on. His ability to accomplish the task of selling the home and pleasing both buyer and seller was spot on. My husband and I have nothing less than huge admiration for Tom in every way possible. When we will sell our home in the future, it is a given fact that we will most definitely list our home for sale with Tom Tripodi. If you are of the mindset to sell your home now, or at any time going forward, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do the same. You will be happy, safe and confident that someone who is the very best at what he does, will do his very best for you, in the very best way possible…… at all times!!! Thank you, Dana Bassiur
