Why Work With Us?

Last fall my sister died in Northampton, where she had lived happily since the 1980s. As her heir I found myself to be the owner of her home. I live in Arizona and could not take physical charge of the property: I needed to sell it.I hired a local attorney, Ms. Mary Melnik-Penney, to represent me in the probate of my sister's estate. Ms. Penney recommended that I use Jeanne as realtor. I am very glad that I followed her advice.From the first I was struck by Jeanne's friendly, open manner. She was always easy to reach and gave clear answers to my questions. I felt that she was happy to talk to me.I soon learned that Jeanne is also knowledgeable and efficient. The house needed quite a bit of work to make it ready for sale. Jeanne gave me the name of Robert Ross of Ross Brothers, who did an excellent job with the property at a very reasonable price.Once the house was ready, Jeanne moved quickly to prepare the listing, which included numerous photos and a well-crafted description of the property. She had a firm offer within a few days. The sale closed last week and I am very happy with the result. The buyers intend to restore the house, so it will not be lost. I know that was my sister's wish.The property itself was not very valuable. It was certainly not a big item for Jeanne. But she never made me feel that I was wasting her time. I once said something to her about my sister's house being a low-ticket item. She responded, "They are all special to me."

As you can see from reading her reviews Sharon Castelli gets lots of accolades and every one is deserved.  Not only does Sharon provide information and insight at the right time and place, she goes above and beyond that -- staging a house, taking really good photographs, fixing a stuck window.  Above that she is patient -- I am 74 years old and struggled some in the months-long process of getting rid of possessions and selling a big house; Sharon had infinite courtesy and great support.  I simply can't say enough good things about Sharon Castelli and give her the highest recommendation.

A few weeks ago I closed on selling my house thanks to the extraordinary service of my listing agent, Sharon Castelli. This was not my first time as either a buyer or a seller, but it was without question my best experience, bar none. We all know that there are a thousand curve balls that can derail the process once you get started, some of them can be self-induced by our own floundering and doubts. Selling or buying a home is a huge life decision for most of us. Having a kind, wise and experienced real estate agent can make all the difference. Working with Sharon turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. She was always available when I needed with the right advice.

I give her my highest recommendation without any reservation. She is one in a million.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Sharron Castelli. We were Looking for land in Northampton and not being from the area it was great to have a “local” with Sharon”s expertise to help guide us. Her knowledge and calm approach made the purchase very easy and with minimal stress. We would highly recommend her!

Sharon represented us as buyers and we had a great experience with her. She helped brainstorm ideas to make our offer more attractive and ultimately I think she was a reason we ended up getting our home. The seller's agent complimented her on multiple occasions on the offer she put together for us. She is very kind, responsive, and a joy to work with. Thanks Sharon!

Sharon was prepared with market insights, had a clear vision, rolled up her sleeves to help stage the house, and took beautiful pictures. She was very easy to work with, went above and beyond to support the sale while I was out of state, and we ultimately received multiple offers with a successful sale in just a 2 month timeframe from consult to close. Highly recommend!
