ReviewJohn was very nice and very professional. He explained everything multiple times. Anytime we had a question we would call him and will pick up the phone no matter what time if he was busy he would call back and explain why he didnt respond my aunt Virginia sold her house and John and Reina assisted us in doing so

Review John and his team were very attentive and knowledgeable in all things real estate. They were responsive to all our questions and made us feel good about our home buying process. They informed us about financials and what to look for in a home. We highly recommend John and his team when it comes to selling or buying a home. You will feel at ease with John on your team.

Review This is the SECOND home I buy with John as my agent! Reina and John tagged team to answer all my questions and concern in a timely schedule. I was able to get a quick accepted offer due to John's real estate friendships/connections. It was a long waiting process to close because it was tenant occupied and I asked for the home to be completely vacant. John and Reina reached out to the tenants numerous time with apartments available to help them move. Overall, John made sure to help me in anyway he could to make sure we closed as soon as possible. Thank you John for making another dream come true!

Review John did an amazing job throughout the process. His followup, communication and processes are perfect. The home I purchased had an accepted offer when we inquired about it. John's continuous follow up with the sellers agent is what got the job done. Once the offer was accepted, John and his team were in constant communication all the way through closing day.

Review John and his team were truly amazing! John was able to sell my house which had an open violation plus tenant occupied all in a timely manner. John and his team kept me informed throughout this challenging journey for me, which helped to decrease the stress and anxiety I felt along the way. In all honesty, I couldn't have asked for a better team. They are very knowledgeable, professional, relentless, and determined to meet my goals. A sincere thanks to you all....John, Reina, and Andrew!

Review John was very informative and on top of things when I sold my house two years ago. We used him again this year to purchase our condo in Westchester. His team was very helpful with giving us updated information through the closing process. Any questions I had were answered in a timely fashion.

Review He did an outstanding job and I would recommend him to all of my friends. We closed very quickly and he was very professional throughout the entire process. He found a buyer from the very beginning of the process. There were some bumps and obstacles during the process because the house was fully occupied and the tenants were not fully cooperative but we still managed to closed on time.

Review I would highly recommend John Lajara. He helped me find the current home I live in. He helped me sell an apartment. Throughout both journeys, John was very accessible and stuck with me through some tough negotiations. I called and he would pick up or let me know he would get right back to me. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge if you ask him questions. His team would keep me up to date with the process. John and his team are not happy unless you are happy.

Review John is a top-class agent! Not only is he a kind and honest person, but he also knows what he's doing. He listened to every single concern we had and answered all of our questions. He and his team (shoutout to Reyna!) also kept us up-to-date with amazing day-to-day and weekly communication. He succeeded in selling our home in under 6 months (above our asking price!) and we couldn't be happier! Would recommend John and his team to everyone we know. 10/10 experience!

Review For the TLDR folks: the house sold for more than the asking price, but I don't trust Lajara and his group any further than I can throw them. I used John Lajara to sell my mother's home after she passed away. In the spring of 2022 the housing market was extremely hot, and we had an offer soon after listing (at the asking price). We sold to another buyer who offered well over asking price. We were told that this buyer had been outbid for two or three other houses, and that made them very motivated. John Lajara tells us that this buyer was so happy to be the winning bidder, that the buyer wanted to pay bonuses of $10,000 to their own real estate agent and ours. Fine by me. I then get additional paperwork to sign from Lajara specifying that his $10,000 bonus will be paid from my share of the profits from the estate sale, above and beyond the previously agreed upon percentage that they would collect. My attorney tells me not to sign the paperwork, and I don't hear anything else from Lajara's group about the matter. Just to remind the reader, this was the spring of 2022, and houses were practically selling themselves. Lajara could have been content with his percentage of a house that sold above asking price, but I guess his group just wanted a larger piece of the pie.

Review Dealing with John and his agency is nothing short of a dream come true.Sit back, tell him around what amount you would like the house to sell for and it just gets DONE !! I dealt with some other agencies before John and they just were nothing but head aches. John outlined exactly what was going to happen, from the way he was going to list to how the open house would be conducted, and as he had predicted I got my buyer on my FIRST open house with him ! He is amazing!! Thank you John and also the team he works with that is an incredible support system. Thank you to Zury and all her work on checking all the details !! Your amazing !

Review aEURoeI would definitely recommend John and the Lajara Team! I have known John for over 10 years and this was not my first home sale. John, as my agent knew his business and is very informative. He is always very helpful in explaining the sale process definitely and showed his expertise. John made a very smart decision in advising to lower the sale price of the house, however, when we had a bidding war, the sale price of the house sky rocketed. I was very pleased. John is super responsive as if you are his only client! Friendly and professional as always!Thanks for helping me sell my house John and look forward to working with you again in the near future"!

Review The transaction with Johns team was seamless! He showcased our property on many platforms with amazing photography that brought us multiple offers. We took an all cash offer over asking price with the timeframe we needed to find our home to close both on time. I would definitely recommend John to all our friends and family!

Review Mom was moving to an adult community so we elected to put her house up for sale. John provided us with a great presentation of his local knowledge, his teams skills and performance, and introduced us to his team members. He provided us with an marketing plan of what was going to happen , when it was going to happen, and the results of what we could expect. Within a week of signing we already had several qualified buyers bidding on the property. We accepted a bid that was $30K over the asking price! Special thanks to Manny, his agent, for providing us with a weekly communication update. A second note of thanks to Stephanie , John's office assistant for keeping the paperwork flowing and keeping us on track for the closing. Overall, this was a great team of skilled people to do business with!

Review Ive worked with Vernise on several transactions: two home purchases, one sale and two rental agreements (one where I was the renter and one where I was the landlord). I have found her to be very professional, knowledgeable of the local market, and neighborhood logistics. She goes beyond the normal duties of just an agent. She also provided a wealth of solid recommendations for additional support like attorneys, home inspectors local tradespeople, and even good local restaurants. I fully recommend her and the Lajara team, as I have done with several personal friends.

Review My husband and I had a very difficult, long journey in finding a home. We lucked out with the Lajara team! John and his team are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking for a home. You will be well taken care of! From the moment I had a consultation with them, I didn't want to work with anyone else. Hire this team and you won't be disappointed! You will find your dream home. They will help you negotiate, understand the deal, and help you close. Thank you so much again!

Review My family and I did 4 transactions with John. We sold my family house in 2018. We did a sale and purchase for my mom (simultaneously) in August 2020 and finally my purchase that closed 12/23/2020. John is a steady and positive force that was there for us during the delays caused by COVID. He kept a very positive attitude and helped us get thru these transactions without a hitch. John is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and you will be in good hands If you choose to work with his team. He gets the deals done.Thank you John and Sylvia for helping us realize our dreams. You guys rock!!

Review Vernise Cardillo is a wonderful example of what a realtor should be, and it was our good fortune to have found her and the Lajara Team. Vernise is an expert in her field and it shows through her attentiveness, knowledge of the market and connections with other companies in the real estate world including insurance agencies, lawyers and home inspectors. She provided insightful suggestions and recommendations throughout the process and we quickly learned to trust her judgment. My husband and I appreciated the transparency they showed every step of the way, making us feel part of the process and that our satisfaction truly mattered.Vernise was always available to answer questions and was always open to our input, as were the rest of the team members. She worked very hard at getting us viewings as soon as possible and made sure to work around our schedule. We are very grateful that it took only 3 months from the day we hired the Lajara Team to closing on our new home. My husband and I admire the teamwork and effort that they put into making this happen. This was such a wonderful experience and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend!

Review John and the Lajara team has done it again! This is the 2nd home he has helped me and my family sell in the last 2 years. This time around, all hope was lost in the middle of the Pandemic but John's knowledge, patience and resourcefulness helped us finally get my mother's house sold on 8/5! John was optimistic the entire time and I thank him for that, truly! If you want the best in the business and someone who is greatly connected, contact the Lajara team. You won't be disappointed.
