Client Testimonials

"Hi John!  Hope you and your family are well.  Didn’t want another day to go by without thanking you for all you did for Erin and Mark.  Your patience, kindness, guidance, and professionalism was so appreciated.

I used Rob Nixon at PreReal Estate services for an office disposition in their territory. I received quick feedback and was referred to an unaffiliated firm who specialized in my requirement and had a professional & successful experience. That honesty was a true sign of brand integrity and the best help I could’ve asked for in reaching my goal vs accepting the job to hang the listing on the market with their own interest in commission leading their actions. For that I could not be more grateful for making me look good. Thank You PreReal

An effective advertising slogan is “catchy” yet powerful, and always succinct; short but very much to the point. Slogans create indelible name recognition for that which is being offered to the public.The good slogans make us feel confident in our choice of product or service; assuring us that we haven’t settled for second best. We’re told we’re in good hands with Allstate. We’re advised to buy Hallmark when we care to give the very best. Chase told us we have a friend at their bank. John Vernazza is my real estate broker for the sale of my home. He has instilled in me a respect for his profession. I never knew how much a broker needs to know and understand in order to do the job at hand. He is expert in every facet of representing one’s most valuable asset. I’ve long believed that no one person can know everything about everything, and in my life, I’ve learned that we need to trust someone who knows everything about their field of business, and let them do for us what they do so well while we reap the rewards of the endeavors of such experts. Soon after contracting Mr. Vernazza, I was certain I had chosen wisely. He conducts himself professionally in that friendly manner that puts us at ease and strengthens our confidence. With a tip of the hat to the great slogan writers of all time, please know that I AM in good hands, I’m receiving the very best service, and I have a friend who is working tirelessly to help me realize my goal of selling my home for the best price possible. So now you know how I feel about my choice of broker. Which begs the question, why aren’t your real estate needs in the GOOD HANDS of the VERY BEST FRIEND you can have as you navigate one of the most important deals and purchases of your life? I assure you, you will have chosen wisely. John Vernazza, much more than just a slogan.

Fantastic experience with the Prendamano Real Estate!! My house was sold in a short time and with no stress.

The selling of my house was in the right hands, very reliable and responsible. I highly recommend the company!

My parents were selling their house in Brooklyn and looking to move to a home in Staten Island, we were referred to Mike Gandolfi.. Mike new that we had two months to look for our new home and worked around the clock to find a home that fit our needs..He made us feel very comfortable and was patient with us throughout the whole transition and found exactly what we needed in our new home.. We are very grateful he helped us and I have also recommended Mike to my friends and relatives who are also looking into buying a home in Staten Island.

Sandra was nothing but professional when it came to the selling of our home. All details were carefully arranged in an organized manner, which certainly worked to our advantage since we were moving out of state. She consistently put in extra time and energy in order to successfully sell our home. I would highly recommend Sandra as your realtor to ensure that your buying/selling process goes smoothly.

Fantastic team and excellent service all around. Celia was our greatest advocate in our house hunt. When we were ready to make our offer, she did all we could have hoped for, and more, to get us into the perfect home for our family. The listing for the home we were selling was a great experience too - crisp photos brought immediate interest and her industry insights led to a quick sale at the right price point.

Can’t say enough about how satisfied we were working with the PreReal team. We worked with Rob Nixon and were very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He was very personable and extremely dedicated to getting us the best result. His Experience with the latest marketing strategies was extremely effective in getting our property sold quickly and at the right price. Overall we had a very positive experience that went beyond our expectations.

Celia was a true professional! She sold my house in Brooklyn and was very helpful when I purchased my house in SI. Excellent!

The best of the best! Celia puts your best interest first and foremost always! She went above and beyond not only selling my mother's home but also made sure my newly married son got the best price on a home that was highly sought out! She's my real estate agent for life!!

Anthony Volpe was the agent who sold my mothers home. From the start of our meet, he was beyond professional. My mothers home was clean and neat but many areas of the home needed to be updated or finished. Anthony was amazing! He complimented her home like it was a castle. He immediately made my mother feel comfortable and that she was in good hands. We had some small road blocks, an existing tenant who took his time to leave. Anthony handled every issue with calmness and a smile. Our home was let go by the first buyer because of the tenant. Anthony put it back on the market and within 24 hours had the house sold a 2nd time. We highly recommend him to family and friends!

We have been clients of Celia’s for over 14 years and I can’t imagine buying or selling a home on Staten Island without her. She sold our house for 10k over ask pre-pandemic and secured us, with her amazing negotiation skills, two houses below market value! Her knowledge of the market, comps and the Staten Island real estate community is unmatched. Anyone would be lucky to have Celia in their corner! We know we are.

My parents were looking for a property in Staten Island NY, Michael Gandolfi was beyond patient, professional and understanding during the whole process. He made the process Smooth and never made them feel pressured and helped them find the perfect home for them. Michael continues to help with any information or questions they may have. I highly recommend Michael if you are in the market for a home.
