- "...When the time finally came (to move) we
called Mary-Jo and she was absolutely amazing. She explained all the
details that would be involved including listing the house, advertising
it, holding open houses, necessary forms and even the desired offer.
Mary-Jo was very patient with us and answered all of our questions
directly and frankly. She gave us suggestions about ways to make our
house sparkle and look great. …We cannot tell you how much we appreciate
all of Mary-Jo’s work…She was truly a friend throughout the
process…Mary-Jo Karpenko gets our vote for Realtor of the year!!!"
-R. & L. R., Palm Coast, FL - "Being an Air Force military family since
1988 and moving every 2-3 years means I have worked with more than my
fair share of real-estate agents, and Mary Jo Karpenko stands out in
front of them all. Our move from Florida to New York was one of the
most difficult we’ve had as my husband had left for a remote command
tour in Korea and I was on my own. But Mary Jo made it seem like a
piece of cake. Her complete understanding of our family’s needs, her
impressive insight into the housing market, her remarkable attention to
detail, and her network of great professionals all resulted in one very
smooth transition. And we couldn’t be happier in our new home and
neighborhood. Thanks Mary-Jo!!"
-DS, Greece, NY - "We met Mary-Jo when we decide to sell our
first home and buy another. She took the time to truly understand our
situation, know our wants and needs and truly invested herself in our
hopes and dreams. She then worked with us to formulate a plan and
worked to execute it. Mary-Jo’s clients always come first no matter
what the situation…day or night, 24-7, she is totally dedicated to her
work and is there for her clients every step of the way! How fortunate
for us…we bought our dream house and gained a great friend as an added
bonus!"
-K & K, Perinton, NY - "As first time home buyers we were nervous,
overwhelmed and inexperienced until we met Mary-Jo. She treated us like
family and was available 24/7 to answer all our questions. We had
plenty of space to form our own opinions, but at the same time she was
helpful in pointing out the pros and cons. Mary-Jo spent the time to
really get to know us and lead us through the buying process, making it
very enjoyable. She educated us…while being an advocate for our
interests.
After the process of buying our first home was complete, we realized we
had a lifetime agent and friend in Mary-Jo Karpenko!"
-C. & R. S., Rochester, NY - Apartment to House:
"Mary-Jo Karpenko is the agent that helped my husband and I find our dream home! She impressed me with the fact that she was extremely knowledgeable about her industry. I was also attracted to the fact that she was an honest person. Mary-Jo listened to everything we wanted and didn’t want in our new home and found a house that met all our requirements. I would, and have, recommended Mary-Jo to anyone needing an agent. She’s fantastic...honest, hard working, concerned and a lovely person."
-T. & W. D., Greece, NY - Miraculous Transactions:
"We had looked 'on-line' and gone to a few open houses but were discouraged because our financial situation looked like we would be unable to get the kind of mortgage we wanted. Then we met with Mary-Jo. She did all she could do to make sure that when the right house came at the right time she could help make our dream come true.
When the perfect house came up for sale (located right next to my daughter) there was already an offer on the house. Mary-Jo got an appointment to see the house and we decided to make an offer ourselves right away. We had two hours to make it all happen. We met in her office, called a mortgage person (on the spot!), got the OK, wrote up the offer and faxed it in with 5 minutes to spare! Our offer was accepted and now we have a beautiful home near our family!
People tell us that things like this just don’t happen! It can happen with God's grace. Mary-Jo has since helped my two daughters buy their homes as well. Our whole family trusts Mary-Jo's knowledge and expertise and would recommend her services to anyone."
-W.B. & J.S., Webster, NY - Investment Property:
"Mary-Jo has helped me purchase three multi-family homes in the past year. I am a new investor and she was able to find the answers to all of my numerous questions! I have worked with two other real estate agents in the past, and Mary-Jo's outstanding service has far surpassed that of the other agents. She was always available by phone or email to answer my questions, and she covered every important detail of the transactions. Mary-Jo always "goes the extra mile" to ensure that I receive the best service possible, including support after the purchases were complete. I could not have done it without her!
AO, Rochester, NY - Custom Built Home:
Professionally, Mary-Jo is the best at what she does. Personally, she is very special...one of a kind, caring and compassionate person. After looking at all that was on the market, we decided to buy land and build a new home. Not only did Mary-Jo help us get a good price on the purchase of the land but she negotiated with the builder to get us a great price on our new build. She was there to assist us every step of the way during the building process. On top of that, Mary-Jo also helped us sell our old house. It was critical to co-ordinate the timing of the sale of our old house with the completion of our new house. With Mary-Jo working for us, she made it all worked out as planned. She puts her all into her work and goes above and beyond her job duties as a realtor. We now have a beautiful new home and have gained a wonderful new friend in Mary-Jo. We would highly recommend her to everyone...
-M&M P, Farmington, N.Y. - First-Time Investor:
I was a novice investor who'd never been to Rochester until last year. Mary-Jo was extremely helpful and easy to work with. She walked me step by step through the whole process, helped get me familiar with much of the town, and has provided me with valuable contacts during the process. She is by far the best realtor I've ever worked with. She is very dedicated, punctual, and detail-oriented.
-J.T., Danbury, CT - Sell and Buy (house sold in the 1st week with multiple offers):
"This was the third time Mary-Jo has represented us. It took a long time for us to find our most recent house and Mary-Jo never grew impatient with us. She is a Realtor that loves her job and is in it to serve her clients above all else".
M & K B. Pittsford, NY - Sell and Buy:
"My husband and I both thought our situation was hopeless but thought talking with an experienced Realtor would help. That turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made! I always felt like Mary-Jo had our family’s best interest in mind in all she did, from selling our house to guiding us in buying our new house. Mary-Jo was always supportive and comforting throughout the whole process. She introduced us to an amazing team of people that really went above and beyond to help us achieve our goal. I firmly believe our family would not be in the beautiful home we are in today if it wasn’t for Mary-Jo. We are just very thankful!"
B & J B, Greece, NY - Out of Town Sellers:
"It’s hard to believe, the house is sold and we’re breathing a huge sigh of relief! We generally don’t go out of our way with thanks for professional services, but what you provided was so far above and beyond anything in our experience, especially at long distance, we just have to say ‘thank you’."
E & L S, New York, NY - Sell and Buy (house sold the 1st week with multiple offers):
"The experience we had with Mary-Jo exceeded any expectations we had of interacting with a Realtor. Mary-Jo’s suggestions were what set our house apart from others on the market. She proved to me that there was a whole other level of service that a Realtor can provide and has set the bar to a height that other Realtors (that my friends and family have used) have yet to come close to achieving."
KB, Gates, NY - Buy and Sell (Sold 1st week):
"Thank you so much! Hard work definitely pays off! We really appreciate all your guidance and expertise throughout the whole buying and selling process. There were lots of unique situations associated with the buying of (new home) and selling of (old home) but you helped us get through it all! We can't even thank you enough! You are the best!"
