ZillowVERIFIEDA friend recommended Phyllis and I owe my friend a great deal! Phyllis has been like a guiding star throughout the sale of our family home. There are so very many adjectives to describe her but I will list a few: caring, competent, knowledgeable, thoughtful, fair, flexible, calming, hopeful, smart, helpful?.the list is long. Phyllis made what could have been an ordeal, a pleasure. I no longer have my child home but I have a new friend. I highly recommend Phyllis to help you find a home or sell your home.????

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis was amazing throughout the whole process of selling our home. Through much of the time we were away at our daughters wedding. Phyllis put our minds at ease because we knew she was handling everything so we could enjoy the wedding. She strikes the perfect balance in negotiating - firm but never over bearing, easy to talk to. She listened to all our concerns and made the whole process very easy; she handled everything efficiently - from the staging, the open house, vetting potential buyers and coordinating inspections. Phyllis responded quickly, was very thorough and has great knowledge of the market in our area. We would highly recommend Phyllis for any real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis was incredible to work with on the purchase of our first home. She made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process and was always there for us at all hours of the day. We couldn?t have imagined working with anyone else on the purchase of our home and highly recommend Phyllis for her professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness, and overall genuine sense of care for her clients. Thank you again Phyllis, you are the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis Calianese is professiona as well as very personable; she went above and beyond to help us navigate not only this complicated situation of selling my mothers house, but also frequently checked on the house as we live several states away. She has the local contacts to help fix issues that arose and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend Phyllis Calianese as a real estate professional but also as someone who is supportive and knowledgeable throughout any real estate process.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking to purchase or sell a home, Phyllis is the best real estate agent out there! We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! We first met Phyllis when she was the sellers agent for the house that we were purchasing. We were beyond impressed with how she went above and beyond. We then used her to search and ultimately purchase a rental property recently. Phyllis is responsive, professional, knowledgeable, organized and always on top of everything. She is beyond thorough and listened to what we were looking for, which made the process of finding a property and then even finding renters a lot easier for us. She will hold your hand throughout the process! You will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED She is a pleasure to work with. She is always available to help answer questions and goes out of her way to find answers to questions she does not know the answers to. She works endless hours to help her clients. She is also a great dual agent. Knowledgeable in both sides of the transaction. We could not have been luckier to have meet Phyllis and hired her to work in this endeavor. In our opinion, she is the best agent to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis is by far the best in the business! She is very professional, knowledgeable and a bundle of energy. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns with a smile on her face. She knew the best way to market our house that when we put it on the market on a Thursday, by Sunday we already had 12 or more offers. With so many offerings she was able to negotiate a great price! The whole process was seamless thanks to Phyllis.Dont consider listing or buying a house without the expert services of Phyllis Calianese.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis represented the purchase of our home in Englewood Cliffs. She was very responsive and helped us tremendously with the closing of our home. It was an extremely stressful purchase due to it being a sellers market. I have worked with many realtors in before and she is one of the best and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to my friends that are looking for a home.

Review for Member: Phyllis Calianese
ZillowVERIFIED The kids are grown so we wanted to downsize. We called Phyllis. She helped us every step of the way - deciding to sell, when to sell, price, where do we go after we sell... Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail helped us determine what would work best for us. So we decided to sell. After we picked a date to list, Phyllis spent the day with us organizing the house so it would show the best in photographs and showings (e.g. get the clutter off of the countertops). The house looked incredible and we had over 40 viewings and several offers on the first weekend. Phyllis organized the offers and helped us negotiate the best deal for us. After we went to contract, Phyllis stayed with us all the way through the closing process. Phyllis brings skill, experience and dedication to the job along with a sincere personal touch. We are very grateful that we had her helping us.

Review for Member: Phyllis Calianese
ZillowVERIFIED We could not have asked for a better experience than working with Phyllis. Buying a home in the 2021 real estate environment can be quite discouraging and Phyllis was both encouraging and transparent throughout the entire process. As first time homebuyers there was a lot that we did not know about the process, but Phyllis was very patient with us and always treated us with respect and kindness. She is very diligent and thorough in her work, and we were constantly impressed by her knowledge of the market and the home buying process. Phyllis was very responsive, answering any question we had within a few hours, if not minutes. Since we were buying a house across the country, she was also very helpful coordinating virtual tours for us to see properties when we could not make it in person. There is enough stress involved with the process of buying a home, but having Phyllis as an agent was the best choice we could have made. We would unreservedly recommend Phyllis for not just her diligence and expertise, but for how easy she made the entire process for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis is the best thing that ever happened to us. As first time home buyers, Phyllis was with us every step of the way. She quickly understood what we were looking for and helped us navigate a very challenging time in the market. Phyllis was genuinely invested in us finding our forever home and made herself available at any time of day. Between her experience, knowledge and business savvy, there?s nothing this woman can?t do. She seemed to always be ahead of the curve and knew about listings prior to them hitting the market. She is creative and thinks outside the box. Quite honestly, family and friends will have to wait as she?s the first person we?re having over for dinner in our new house.

ZillowVERIFIED We were referred to Phyllis Calianese by a friend and, wow, were we fortunate. Phyllis is an absolute professional - knowledgeable, patient, and very responsive to our needs. She understands the market well - helped us established an appropriate listing price which resulted in multiple higher bids; gave ideas how to best position and stage the house to generate maximum interest. The house was under contract within a few days, and throughout this period and beyond, she was always quick to answer our questions, and connect with the buyer / real estate attorney as necessary. The entire process was made smooth, easy, and delightful. It was a pleasant experience throughout, and we would highly recommend Phyllis to anyone wanting a high level of service that she could provide.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis had been a blessing to us. During Covid, it was extremely difficult to find and go after the homes interested in due to overbidding. Nonetheless, Phyllis helped us to remain positive and see the opportunities ahead. After much patience and fortitude, Phyllis helped us find our new home in USR. She?s a great motivator and helped give us ideas on how to make homes more functional. She listened to our thoughts, ideas, and things we wanted for our family. You can?t beat Phyllis. She will make you feel at home and as if you knew her for many years. Additionally she has many contacts needed to get the job done and for your ideas on how you want to modify your loving new home.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis was a pleasure to work with. She is Knowledgeable, Honest, Trustworthy and a proven negotiator. Phyllis went above and beyond to assist my wife and I in finding a home in Woodcliff Lake. There are many real estate ?Agents? out there, but there are only a handful of truly professional realtors and Phyllis is one of them. Don?t let me forget to mention her husband David who also assisted us in finding our home. Phyllis and her team made the home buying process seamless and simple by recommending the right professional along the way such as a home inspector, attorney, etc. In today?s market you need a shark like Phyllis to have your back!

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis listed and sold our house and helped us buy a new one. We have never worked with a tireless professional like her before, ever. She was available to us no matter what time of day/night we had a question/concern. Her work ethic never wavered and she always had our best interest at the forefront. She is honest and direct, while providing warm support, with an appropriate sense of humor. We would not hesitate to recommend her and would request her service again, if need be. M&J

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis went above and beyond to help our family find our first home. I can?t recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and our biggest advocate. When we were unsure of where to start looking, she helped us narrow down towns based on her extensive knowledge of the area. She showed us many properties, carefully catering to our limited schedule, and helped us hone in on what would work best for our family. Once we found our dream home, she did an excellent job negotiating and guiding us through the tedious process of closing on our house. She was always easy to contact and helped ease our first time homeowner worries! We felt at ease knowing she had our backs.Phyllis is incredible at what she does, and we are so grateful to have worked with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis was a powerhouse. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and very accessible. She usually got back almost immediately with solutions and suggestions. She made a very stressful time more tolerable with her expertise and confidence, and consistently went above and beyond the call of duty.No concern was too minor to her; if it concerned the seller, it was a concern to Mrs. Calianese. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED There are really not enough words to describe how incredible Phyllis is. We worked with her for a full year to find our perfect home. Her patience, honesty, guidance and genuine care made the entire process seamless. Finding a home in general is stressful, but navigating the Covid-19 market is a whole other story. Phyllis was available whenever we needed her and went above and beyond in so many situations to ease our concerns, which as first time home owners, there were many. We cant recommend Phyllis enough and if you are lucky enough to work with her, you will be in the best of hands.

ZillowVERIFIED From beginning to end, Phyllis Calianese handled the sale of my mothers home with professionalism as well as friendly and heartfelt empathy. Every question that came up along the way was addressed with immediacy and accuracy. Every time I asked Phyllis to help, she was more than willing. I can say that all of the decisions we made together were collaboratively arrived at, with Phyllis offering her best professional opinion but making clear that the decision was ours to make. Ultimately, we went with Phylliss advice, which resulted in a home sale that was as trouble-free and happily completed for all concerned.

Review for Member: Phyllis Calianese
ZillowVERIFIED I would highly recommend Phyllis Calianese. My wife and I were very unexperienced in real estate prior to finding our new first home. Phyllis showed a sincere passion for finding us the perfect home for us. Her knowledge of the county, schools, price points, and towns in general was second to none. I always felt that she would have a detailed point of view on any question we ever posed. She always looked out for our best interest and would come with us to any house we were interested in. If she found anything concerning (I.e. water table in certain areas) she was very upfront on her past experiences. This all proved to be invaluable and at the end of our journey, we found the perfect home. She came with great recommendations on inspectors and brokers which also was an incredible asset to us through closing and negotiation. Phyllis was the perfect mix of business professional and compassionate partner through this process. My wife and I have already recommended her to multiple friends also looking for new homes. Should the day ever come that I look for another home, we wouldn?t hesitate on contacting her to represent us.

ZillowVERIFIED Phyllis saved us by doing an awesome job in selling my mothers home. Since I live 220 miles away from the house, and this sale occurred during the covid pandemic and stay-at-home orders, she did everything that was needed to get the home ready for sale (dealing with contractors, inspectors, etc.) and got it sold quickly for a price we were happy with. Thanks Phyllis!
