We give Colleen Snyder a 5-star A+ rating as our Realtor! Colleen guided and coached us through every single step of our very successful home-selling process. She helped us prepare and stage our home, with clear and straight-forward feedback on changes we could make to enhance the look and feel of our home. Colleen was very well versed and connected to the resources she engaged for us (like last minute electrician and carpenter for minor fixes, and an affordable and careful moving company). She did a very thorough and informed search of comparable homes to help us price accurately. Colleen and her office made a detailed virtual tour of our home to provide safe viewing during COVID and also to facilitate out-of-town buyers (including one buyer couple who ultimately bought our home without seeing it live!) She was physically present and involved in all 21 showings of our home, and Colleen was exceptionally helpful in the final consideration of bids and our acceptance of an offer. And most importantly through all of this process, Colleen was exceptionally responsive and a pleasure to work with - we couldn't be happier with her services and the outcome of our sale!!
Colleen was truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish for the sale of our home. With the added layers of COVID-19 protocols necessary in the real estate industry today (or during changing times). Colleen embraced all the regulations and worked with us initially over facetime to take a tour of our home. Colleen was always responsive in a very timely manner, offered great suggestions for the listing and staging of our home, and offered guidance and insight when talking through our MULTIPLE offers! We would highly recommend Colleen for any of your real estate needs. Thank you, Colleen, for making the selling of our home enjoyable and stress-free!
Colleen Snyder met all my realty needs in a professional, efficient and caring manner! She has a very patient attitude ensuring me I would find the home that was right for me and my family. Everyone Colleen connected me with was efficient and right for the task of helping me purchase my new home. I would recommend Colleen and Simply Gold Real Estate to anyone looking to purchase real property!
Our family was moving out of state and were initially going to rent our home instead of selling, but at the suggestions of friends, we decided to interview a few realtors to see how the market was fairing. I reached out to Colleen that evening and we set up an appointment to meet the next day. Colleen was confident, knowledgeable and didn't pressure us to sell. In fact, she offered to help us rent our home if that's what we decided. Most importantly, the reason we chose Colleen was because we had a strong feeling that she would work hard for us. I am happy to share that we made the right decision hiring Colleen. She is an extremely hard worker and quite honestly exceeded our expectations. Our family moved out a few weeks later, leaving Colleen to assist us with several last-minute projects before our home went on the market. From monitoring the flooring crews, electricians and cleaners, to painting our front door, and personally staging our home. It looked absolutely incredible! Through the entire process, she always made herself available to answer any questions we had and gave us daily updates on showings. She helped us sell our home quickly and we would highly recommend her 100% to our friends and family!
Consider yourself lucky if you get to work with Dennis! He was a great resource at every step of the home buying process. We moved to NY from out-of-state and Dennis went above and beyond to make the best use of our available time in Rochester. We had a tight timeline to get settled before starting new jobs and we felt that Dennis made it a priority to get us in a home before that deadline.
Dennis is a vast wealth of knowledge on the home buying process and had quality people to refer us to for every need we encountered.
We are incredibly happy with the property we ended up with, and it wouldn't have been possible without Dennis' assistance. I would most definitely recommend Dennis to any close family and friends looking to buy a property.
This was my first time ever selling a house and Dennis was able to guide me through the process using his vast experience. His advice was very helpful in getting the house ready for sale and he was able to get me more for my house than I was expecting. He is a joy to work with!
Dennis did an amazing job helping me to buy my first home. He was very quick to respond to any of my questions and set up appointments to see homes as soon as they came on the market. I was very picky about what I wanted in my first home and he was always patient with me. I will be sure to refer him to any friends/family who are looking to buy!
Dennis' communication was great. He provided a lot of helpful information throughout the whole process. He provided a lot of good ideas and suggestions along the way. He used his resources to provide additional information that was very helpful throughout the process of buying a home.
Dennis did an outstanding job both listing/selling our home as well as helping us purchase a new one. He's upfront and honest...we felt like he put our interests first. He possesses a wealth of industry knowledge and is well-connected to other skilled professionals (inspectors, attorneys, mortgage broker, etc). We sold our home for more than we thought we would get and got a lower price than we imagined on the one we bought. This wouldn't have been possible without his diligent efforts!
Dennis Shew is experienced, thorough and PATIENT. He helped us search for the perfect house, which took us years (we had very specific requirements). Once we found it, Dennis was on top of every detail for the negotiations and the purchase, and then gave his expertise to the entire process of getting our old house ready to put on the market. We're now settled into our wonderful new home, and the old house has sold. Highly recommend Dennis!
The Rochester housing market was tight when we were looking, and we had some unusual restrictions on what we could consider. Dennis gave us solid advice about what we could expect in terms of the timing of weekly market cycles, the sealed competitive bidding process, and the likely availability of homes meeting our criteria. We were looking from out of state and he worked with our son to do live visits to available homes.
We found and acceptable home sooner than expected and Dennis provided (and continues to provide) good follow-up advice about trash, home repair services and other items you may need in the future.
Dennis was wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone buying or selling. We had a great experience! He helped us buy a new home and sell our old homes. He was very honest and didn't try to show us home out of our budget.
Dennis is the best Realtor around! He took time while even on vacation to keep us up to date on the house we were about to close on. He also helped us with basically any question we had. His years of knowledge truly show. I will definitely be using him in the future! :-)
