This letter is a recommendation for Armene Abbattista, who helped us purchase a house in East Hanover, NJ in 2015. We have worked with several real estate agents at various times. Armene’s services were head and shoulders above any other real estate professional with whom we have ever worked. She is honest, enthusiastic, strategic, unbelievably patient, and utterly professional. She also understands the market exceedingly well.
Armene helped us determine the kinds of houses we liked, the areas we preferred, what we would compromise about, and what was absolutely necessary from our standpoint. Between visits, we relied on Armene’s to send us information about potential homes and to provide her recommendations based on her understanding of our needs. After a long search period, during which we looked at numerous homes in person and over the Internet, Armene called us to let us know that she thought that the right house had come on the market. We had so much trust in Armene’s judgment at that point that we quickly put a contract down on the house without seeing it first (except by pictures over the Internet). Armene was absolutely right. We feel certain that without Armene’s guidance and patience, we would not have come close to finding, and closing on, such a wonderful property.
Armene never showed us houses that weren’t within our parameters and always listened very carefully to our comments. When we were tempted to look in areas that didn’t really suit our aims, she deftly brought us back to center. We have recommended Armene to everyone we know. We’re pleased to provide our highest recommendation of Armene’s services. We are grateful we found her and fortunate to know her.
