SOLD ESTATE SALE June 9, 2010 – I am the executor of my Mom’s estate, and I have one supportive sister assisting with maintaining the property until we can sell it. Stacy was recommended to us by our estate lawyer, and she’s been a big help. She provided immediate feedback from potential buyers on what would sell the house, in a buyers market. We made the changes, and got close to our asking price. Stacy provided us a lot of exposure, and suggested a business to strip and buff our hardwood floors. Her suggestion worked out well for us, and we recently closed on the property. She is courteous and caring professional that I would highly recommend. (Seller/Executor of Estate who sold a family home on Long Island)

SOLD ESTATE SALE April 20, 2010 – Dear Stacy, Thank you for your help in selling my mother’s home. You were very efficient and very easy to talk to and work with. We really appreciated the fact that we got more money for the house than we expected. Thank you very much again. Sincerely, Arlene Leisz (Seller/Executrix of Estate who sold a family home on Long Island)

SOLD April 12 2010 – I want to thank you for all of your help in what was, to my family, one of the biggest events of our lives. Selling a home is never easy, but when you have lived in it for more than half of your lives, as my parents had, it is a traumatic and stressful event. Your understanding and compassion of our situation, their sometimes “difficult” personalities, and your prompt attention to matters made all the difference in the world. I honestly dreaded putting the house on the market in the beginning, but you were there for us every time we had a question or concern, and now that it is over and my parents are settled in assisted living, we couldn’t be happier! Please keep in touch. It was wonderful to get to know you. Sincerely, Helene Kaufman (Senior homeowners who sold their Long Island home and moved into an assisted living residence)

SOLD February 2, 2010 – REALTOR REFERRAL Thank you for making our client's out of state move so simple! Your knowledge of the market and exceptional communication made the entire process pleasant and comfortable for all involved. It has been a pleasure to work with someone with your professional qualities! Sincerely, Mary Wolfe, Erickson Realty (Long Island senior home seller who relocated to a retirement community near his son in Michigan)

SOLD January 29, 2010 - Dear Stacy, From the day we decided as a family that we had no other choice than to short sale my parents house, we didn't know where to begin. We made a phone call to your office and got you on the phone. Right from the beginning I knew that you were a perfect match. You had the answers to all of our questions and actually had compassion for the situation that my parents were in. We met with you days later and the house was immediately put on the market. We received offers relatively quick and thought this isn't so bad! But there was work to be done. Every step of the way we received calls from you telling us where we were in the process. And a few months later we closed on the property. I thank you for your experience, kindness and patience. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I would recommend you highly as a great realtor. I have no doubt in my mind how you won all of those awards. Sincerely, Fran Palazzolo (Long Island family who sold their home as a Short Sale transaction)

SOLD December 29, 2009 – I think you did a very good job selling our home. I realized it was actually on the market for 2 years before you took over and you had us in contract in 30 days. You, Stacy, and Re/Max are selling homes even in this market. Marjorie and Melvin Gaddy (Senior home sellers who relocated from Long Island, New York to Orange, New Jersey)

SOLD December 3, 2009 - Working with Stacy Zigman, we were very happy with her services in selling my parent's house. My parents moved to Raleigh, NC and we trusted Stacy to take care of everything and she did. Every week and sometimes more she emailed me news and updates. She worked hard and got the job done. Thank you so much for all your help. Sincerely, Manuel & Silvina Mota & Gina Mota-Luthy (Senior homeowners moved from Long Island, New York to Raleigh, North Carolina to be near their daughter and her family)

SOLD November 19, 2009 - Stacy, thanks so much for helping us to sell our house. It was a pleasure working with you. Nancy & Arthur McAleer (Sellers are recently retired and relocated from Long Island, New York to Spring Hill, Florida)

SOLD November 9, 2009 - Dear Stacy, I wanted to thank you for handling the sale of my home. Your professionalism, commitment and wonderful personality made the process easier and pleasant. This was a difficult sale with issues from multiple offers and contracts, loan problems and zoning issues. You were both knowledgeable in dealing with all parties and diligent in your follow-up and communication. Your ability to deal with all relevant parties, regardless of the pressures of each is a true testament to your expertise in real estate sales. I would recommend you highly to anyone interested in selling a home and only wish I had more homes for you to sell. Again, my thanks. Richard Solomon (Seller is a National Sales Manager for a large insurance company and sold the family home in which he grew up)

SOLD August 6, 2009 - Stacy Zigman guided me expertly though the entire process of selling the home which I had lived in for 42 years. She helped me to create curb appeal and to "stage" my home before showing it to buyer prospects. During the marketing period she left no detail unattended, and while we were in contract she reassured me through any questions or doubts I had. In short, all matters were handled with the utmost in professional service as well as friendliness, honesty and intelligence. If anyone asks me for a recommendation of a Long Island realtor, I will recommend her without hesitation. - Alice Bulger (Senior Seller remained on Long Island and moved into a smaller residence)

SOLD June 30, 2009 - I am sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. The kids kept erasing my email messages. I want to thank you for everything you did for Bill and me. We could not have moved to Winterville without your help. It is hard selling a home today but you never lost faith that we would sell and move before the boys started the new school year. Allen, Billy and Trevor are all doing well and Buster and Tazz love it here too. There are 2 other families who saw our license plate and came to ask what part of New York we were from. They are both from Long Island too (Bellmore and Levittown). It is amazing how friendly and less hectic it is here than in New York, even little Trevor notices this. I will forward you some photos of the house when I get a chance. Rosemarie and Bill Lachman (Sellers relocated from Long Island, New York to Winterville, North Carolina)

SOLD June 17, 2009 - We worked with Stacy Zigman and wanted to let you know how happy we were with her services. In this market it takes a special person to negotiate and bring a sale to close. Stacy's hard work made this happen. About a year ago I needed to find a Realtor to sell my 88 year old Grandmother's home in New York. During this time we moved my Grandmother out of her home of 60 years to Las Vegas to an assisted living. You can imagine how hard this life changing event is let alone selling her home in this market. It took some time and a few buyers but Stacy's hard work and perseverance made it happen. We felt confident in her hands. She not only listed the home but she brought the buyer as well and got us the best price in a declining market. We couldn't be happier and will stay in touch with her, in service through friendship Stacy got the job done. Sincerely, Theresa King (Senior home seller relocated from Long Island, New York to Las Vegas, Nevada to be closer to her family)

SOLD April 30, 2009 ESTATE SALE - Stacy, on behalf of my family and I, we want to thank you for selling my father’s home. Selling an estate property can be complicated because there are several family members involved in the decision making. You, however, made it easy for me to update my siblings by providing me with regular feedback on home showings, making pricing suggestions to attract more buyers, and being responsive to my calls and emails. Also, the expeditor you recommended to legalize the den addition helped us to stay on track so we were able to close on schedule. Thank you, again, for your help. Wendy Streigold (Seller/Executrix of Estate, sold family home on Long Island)

SOLD February 4, 2009 - Thank you so much for helping me to sell my home. I know now that a Short Sale is a different than selling a home through the normal process but you guided me from the start, were very caring and easy to work with. You took what was a very complicated and difficult situation and made it a bit less stressful. I am glad my neighbors referred me to you and I will be happy to recommend you to my friends and family. Best of luck to you. – Laura Capaldo (Seller sold her Long Island home as a Short Sale)

SOLD February 4, 2009 - Stacy, thank you for helping us buy our beautiful home. We are all so happy here and appreciate everything you did to help. We were so anxious and worried about the Short Sale taking awhile to close. I know we called you a lot on the telephone, and you were always patient and worked with your legal team to make sure everything was okay. When we look back, George and me, it really didn�t take long and we believe part of that was because of your efforts. My kids just started their new schools and each day they come home and say how much they love school and their new friends. We will stay in touch and tell all our friends who need a Realtor to call you. The Charidemou Family (Buyers relocated from Queens, New York to Long Island, New York)

SOLD January 21, 2009 - Hi Stacy. Sorry I did not get to write this sooner, with the children I really don’t have much time, I’m lucky to get to use the bathroom. Charlie and I knew we would call you when we were ready to sell our Long Island home, we are glad we did. You were a pleasure to work with, you kept in close touch with us throughout the whole process, gave us good ideas on making the home more saleable and always took new photos to keep our home looking fresh for buyers. Retirement life is great. Chris and the kids and the dogs and the cat as you know are all here with us in Charlotte. We are enjoying the extra room and don't know how we managed in New York. Have a great summer, that is what is left of it. Talk to you soon, if you ever get a chance to get down this way you and your family can always spend time with us, remember we do have extra bedrooms and a pool to swim in now. Best wishes, Bette Mastosimone (Sellers retired and relocated from Long Island, New York to Charlotte, North Carolina)

SOLD January 6, 2009 REALTOR REFERRAL- I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the excellent job you did with my referral clients on Matteline Street. Not only did you sell their house for them rather quickly in a slow market, but your patience and personal attention to each and every detail of the transaction was noticed and appreciated by all. It is always difficult dealing with elderly clients with grown children who live far away. The sellers had been listed before with another agent who just did not understand how to work with all of the family to get the job done. Whenever I have someone buying or selling in your market area, I will be sure to call you again. Best regards, Wendie Reid, Broker/Owner (Senior home sellers relocated from Long Island, New York to New Jersey to be closer to their daughters' residences)

SOLD September 30, 2008 - Stacy Zigman had kept in touch with me and my family regarding a future move. She was always friendly and never pushy as an agent, which made it comfortable talking with her. When our son was at his wits end trying to sell his home due to the foreclosure notice sent to him from his mortgage company, I told my son about Stacy and asked him to give her a call and let her see what can be done to remedy the situation. She told him what to do to make his house saleable in the unrelenting market. She then led him through the entire procedure for a short sale step-by-step. Even when he thought all hope was gone, she searched for prospective clients to assure the sale of his home. Unfortunately, he made no money on the sale of his house, but it placed him out of harm's way as for staining his credit history. We are forever grateful to Stacy for her diligent hard work. With Sincere Appreciation, Norine Mandra (Seller sold a Long Island home as a Short Sale)

SOLD July 24, 2008 - At my first meeting with Stacy I knew she'd be the agent to sell my home, and that I didn't need to look any further. She is extremely professional, knows her stuff, and is (was) able to get the job done! My house sold the first weekend on the market.....AND at the "asking price!". Stacy was involved from beginning to end....she dealt with all questions from the potential buyer(s), and the closing was as smooth as can be! I'll always recommend her to anyone who may be looking to sell (or buy) a home." Cheryl R. (Seller retired and sold her Long Island home)

SOLD April 5, 2007 - Stacy was able to market and sell my house in 2007 during the real estate slowdown. She sent a hundred or so prospective buyers to look at my house and I had 3 offers in 6 weeks including one on the first day. I received the highest price ever sold on my block and triple what I originally paid. In addition, Stacy arranged to have me featured in a Newsday article regarding the NYS disclosure law. I was very pleased with the marketing efforts that Stacy employed and with the result. Michael P. Schmitt, Esq. (Seller sold and upgraded to a larger home on Long Island)

"SOLD January 18, 2007" ESTATE SALE -Stacy helped us navigate through every step of selling our family home we inherited in an estate. She provided detailed market analysis and helped us come up with a solid pricing and marketing strategy. She then provided tips on how to prep the home for the market in order to best showcase it. Stacy provided continued support through the entire process, from listing to closing. Her extensive real estate knowledge and experience was vital, it helped us sell the home quickly for a good price in a declining market."- John and Cathy Gundel (Seller/Executor of Estate sold family home to relocate to Phoenix, Arizona)

SOLD November 8, 2006 - When Stacy called the first time, I just wasn't ready to sell the house where I had raised four children over a period of 50 years. There was an occasional call from Stacy and our conversations were generally about everything but the house. She always demonstrated patience and sympathy with my plight. When I phoned Stacy with my decision to sell, she reacted promptly and gave all of her attention and expertise to the sale. Photos of the interior of my home were on Stacy's internet site within a short time. The house was on the market for just three months during which time, thanks to Stacy, I never felt inconvenienced or rushed. Our connection did not end at the closing. A few days after moving into my new home I received a beautiful plant from Stacy. And, along with personal messages, I look forward to her periodic emails. Catherine McGrath (Senior home seller sold her home to be near her son's home on Long Island)

"SOLD August 17, 2006" - It was a pleasure working with you. Bob and I both had the same feeling. It was pretty painless. One in part to your expertise. Thanks again for your help. Renee Berkowitz (Senior home sellers sold their Long Island home and downsized to a more modest residence)

SOLD August 8, 2006 - Hi Stacy, Each day brings a more relaxed and peaceful settling into our new home. We are very happy here, and can only return thanks for the way you expedite the process to obtain our new home. The obstacles that came to discourage us were quickly attacked by your ability to discern and just as quickly we could choose another method to obtain our mortgage. Thank you so much, Stacy, as new home buyers/owners, we were stumbling in the dark, you really brought light and clarity to this process of home buying. I will recommend you to my friends and other relatives who may be buying a home. Thanks again! Howard and Carmen Bigby (Home buyers relocated from New York City to live on Long Island)

SOLD August 8, 2006 - We were very satisfied with the service of Ms. Stacy Zigman. She always called before showing the house and was very helpful throughout the whole sales process. Thank you, again. Joe and Grace Acciarito (Senior home sellers retired and relocated from Long Island to Chapel Hill, North Carolina)

SOLD August 4, 2006 - Hi Stacy! It was good hearing from you and knowing that you are well. It was a pleasure for me, also, in having you help me sell my home. You were patient with me when I goofed as well as being friendly, cheerful and successful helped me get a fair price for my house. I truly enjoyed knowing you. I wish you continued success in your chosen field as well as good health and happiness. Thank you for all you did for me, Stacy. Sincerely, Kay Reynolds (Senior home seller relocated from Long Island to Pennsylvania to be closer to her family)

Dear Stacy, Your pleasant attitude and professionalism is truly an asset to your company. I would recommend you to anyone who wants to sell a home without any hassles. You worked around our schedules and diligently showed our home to prospective buyers until the home was sold, which by the way was quicker than we could have imagined. Our only regret is that we can’t take you with us to buy our next home. Again, thank you, Very truly yours Thomas and Mary Fennell (Senior home sellers sold to move near son's home on Long Island)

ESTATE SALE - There are not enough words in the English language to express our appreciation for your perseverance, knowledge, commitment and understanding in the selling of my father’s home. There were many times I wanted to scream and your sense of humor and knowing you cared made everything easier. Stacy, you were wonderful! Thank you a thousand times over!! Steve and Joanne Winters (Seller/Executrix sold an estate home on Long island)

ESTATE SALE - Dear Stacy, I just wanted to say “thank you” and tell you how I appreciated your honesty and professionalism in selling my mother’s (Stella Atria) home. Losing a parent is an extremely difficult time of life. Not only did I lose a parent but it was also a time for me to say “goodbye” to my childhood home, neighborhood, and very special memories. Without your assistance, it would have been very confusing. However, you made it easier and I felt comforted knowing it was in your hands. Thank you again, Nicholas Atria and Family (Executor/administrator of estate sold his mother's Long Island home)

ESTATE SALE - I was satisfied about the service Stacy gave to me - thought all were honest and straight answers and I am satisfied with the price my brother and I received for my father's home. She was courteous at all times and answered all my questions honestly. It was a pleasure to do business with her. (Seller/Executrix of Estate, sold her father's Long Island home)

Stacy Zigman is one of the most competent and efficient people I have ever met. In the business of selling and buying homes she has proven her ability by her patience, knowledge and understanding of people. I have complete confidence in her. We developed a warm relationship during the trying months we worked together and would recommend her highly if you are buying or selling property. Ruth Friedlander (Senior home seller sold her Long Island home to downsize to a smaller residence)

Stacy, my wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. Our house sold in one day! Your experience and professionalism was the key. The assessment you gave us on our home was right on the money. I'm sure it wouldn't have gone nearly as well if we had chosen a different realtor. You are a wonderful person and we wish you all the best. Thanks for everything. Susan and George Hall (Long Island home sellers retired and built a new home in Orlando, Florida)

Dear Stacy, It was a pleasure doing business with you. You not only were very professional, you added a certain warmth and thoughtfulness toward our needs. You are an asset to Re/Max Realty, and we will recommend your services to our friends and neighbors. Best wishes to you and your new baby boy. Annette and John Tiseo (Senior home sellers retired and downsized to a smaller Long Island residence)

We were very pleased with Stacy’s handling of the sale of our home. She was very professional and always available to us. We always got the feeling that she really liked our house and cared about us and making us comfortable with everything we should know about selling our house. Regards to Stacy. Beverly and Myron Brickman (Snowbirds who relocated from Long Island, New York to Delray Beach, Florida)

Dear Stacy, Frank and I want to thank you for all the time you put into selling our home. Even on days when I was a little nutty, you were able to calm me down. Knowing I could call you was very comforting. Thanks again for all your hard work and caring! Fondly, Frank and Beth Cenicola (Senior home sellers retired and relocated from Long Island, New York to Kissimmee, Florida)

Both Caroline and I wanted to let you know what a fantastic job we thought you did selling our home. I know it was not the easiest of homes to sell, and I am convinced that it was only because of your diligence and effort that we were able to sell the house and get the price we wanted. After the experience we went through with the first realtor we retained, I must admit that we both felt that the system was cheating us and that no one was truly representing our interests. Only after we retained you did we feel that someone was really working on our behalf, and not merely trying to use us. We will always be grateful to you for the job you did. Please also convey our compliments to your staff, all of whom were always more than professional and courteous. After all was said and done, we were both convinced that our choosing you was the reason our house ultimately sold. Thanks again. Best always, Richard Bock (Sellers sold their Long Island home and moved to Manhattan)

Stacy, It was a pleasure having you represent me selling my house. I have had many disappointments in my life but, it was your positive attitude that prevailed. Many thanks. Andrew Nazarechuk (Senior home seller sold his Long Island home to relocate to New Jersey near his family)

Hi Stacy, How are you doing? Thank you for everything you do to my family. I’ll keep in touch with you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love Mom and Steve Lew (Sellers sold their Long Island home to move to New York City)

Stacy Zigman was a true professional from the moment we began our house-selling experience. We were very pleased with her thoughtfulness during what could have otherwise been a very stressful couple of months. We would certainly use her again and would gladly recommend her to others. James Pons (Senior home sellers retired and relocated from Long Island, New York to Jacksonville, Florida)

Dear Stacy, Thanks for all you have helped us with. Your the best! Stay well and God bless you always. Love, Larry and Betty Kooper (Senior home seller and her son sold their Long Island home to moved into a more modest home)

Your professionalism as a Realtor was evident right from your first visit to the closing date of the sale. It is hard to find the words to truly express how I feel about all the patience and encouragement you gave to me. You honored my request that I did not want to be present when potential buyers were brought to the house. You kept my up-to-date on how things were going either by phone or in person. The problems that came up because of ownership by two people (one in Florida and one on Long Island) was frustrating and time consuming. You remained calm and understanding. I would call “Stacy” again if I have a need for a Realtor, and I would recommend her to my friends. Blanche Marie Schatzlein (Senior home seller sold a Long Island home she part owned with her brother)

I want to thank you for all your help in selling my mom's home. It was quick and painless and the price you quoted was realistic enough that it was attainable. Good luck with your future baby and thank you again. Maxine Kleedorfer (Seller sold her Long Island home to move near her daughter and her family)

I can't thank you enough for all your help in selling my house! I had lost hope with the first agent from Queens when you listed my house. Within 2 weeks I had a contract for $2,000 more than I was asking. And when I ran into problems you came to the house and let workmen and inspectors in while you waited. Many phone calls to soothe “feathers” and conclude details were your responsibility and you can’t put a price on that. Thanks again for a job very well done. Ginny Bohner (Seller sold her home to upgrade to a larger house on Long Island)

Thank you, Stacy, for representing us in the sale of our home. You were diligent and professional in all matters concerned with the sale. We were notified promptly of all appointments and prospective interested buyers. All adjustments were made in agreement with us. We appreciate and highly recommend you for all your efforts and kind personal attention to make this transaction smooth and without any problems. Respectfully, Lorrie and Don Fishbein (Snowbirds who sold their Long Island home to relocate to Tamarac, Florida)

It was very thoughtful of you calling me, I’m having a great time here, I go to the gym and swimming everyday in the indoor pool, we have a cold pool and a warm pool inside the club house. Guess which one I prefer. Every week we have actresses and actors performing. Keep in touch and write. Love, Roz Boccia (Senior home seller relocated from Long Island, New York to West Palm Beach, Florida)
