About John Cavaliere

"The expertise and guidance John Cavaliere provided in selling my home were invaluable. He understood the market well and priced my home exactly right, such that it sold in just a few days. He guided me through every step, giving his best professional recommendations, but never pressuring me into decisions. He went above and beyond in many small and large ways and kept me well informed at every step. I felt like I truly had a partner in selling my home."
Martha Brown (Shelton)

"John Cavaliere sold my mother a condominium in 2002 and she often spoke about seeing he and his wife since they lived in the same complex. When she became ill and I needed to sell I thought John would be a great realtor to work with because he knew her condo complex and the surrounding area well and I knew I could trust him to advocate for me since I live 50 minutes away. John is the most effective realtor I have ever worked with because he goes the extra mile and exhibits ownership of each step of the process and a strong desire to succeed. John provided no-nonsense advice for staging my mother's property that included strategic investments designed to ensure I retained as much value as possible in the sale and my buyer's offer validated those investments. John also referred several excellent contractors to me, met with several and requested services I would not have thought of that improved the property's desirability. All this powered us to sell the condo eleven days after it was listed, an impressive result. I was even more impressed with and appreciated John's help between the sale and the closing. Unfortunately my mother passed away in the interim, forcing me to focus elsewhere. John stepped in, navigated relations with the buyer, her realtor and our lawyers and satisfied their requests, greatly easing my challenge. John advocated for me right up to the day of the closing, taking my calls and calling me during his personal time and creatively working to minimize additional expenditures required at closing. I'm a believer in partnering with the professionals I engage and when I learned John has sold over 1,900 properties, saw him in action and listened to his feedback and advice, I would always request his professional opinion. At every turn his expert judgement, predictions and advice were uncannily accurate and reassured me that we would succeed. John is a winner. I would not hesitate to work with him again."

Now that our move is over and we are a little more settled down I would like to take a moment to thank you for all of your hard work. We had dealt with several realtors in the past and never had any results. Not only did you sell our house quickly (only 1 day!) but you had so much patience with my husband and I. You took care of every single detail before we even asked.
My biggest concern was finding a Realtor that could answer all of our questions throughout the whole process without having to ask someone else. You were very knowledgeable and honest and always had an answer and knew what to do next.
My husband and I both work during the day and you were always on top of everything and reminding us of what we had to do or sign next so that we wouldn't forget anything.
I can remember several phone calls we made to you extremely stressed out about some issues that we had and you always answered your phone or immediately returned the calls. And you always fixed the problem or worries that we had.
You were also very helpful with the purchase of our condo and coordinating everything together with the sale of our house. We will call you again should we ever decide to move.
Thank you,
Peter and Cindi Mazzucco"

"Mr. Raveis,
I want you to know about my successful experience in the sale of my home of over 30 years using your agent John Cavaliere. I knew my late neighbor's home sold quickly last fall; their agent was John. I had spoken with the estate administrator, their daughter Janet, before calling John. Because she lived upstate and formerly a Realtor, choosing an agent for convenience and professionalism were very important to her. Janet told me how impressed she was with John from the start. His presentation and determination of the accurate price provided insight that was key in her signing with John. And, of course she was further impressed because he got the home sold in less than 3 weeks at that time of the year. It was almost Christmas & she expected it to take much longer. She also said she appreciated that John kept on top of each step of the progress after she signed the buyer's offer and keeping her informed of everything throughout the transaction.
I'm more than happy to tell you that my experience was even better! I listed my home on a Tuesday, Over 40 Realtors attended Broker Open House John held the very next day. Through the same day several agents showed my home and there were multiple offers! By the day's end I had accepted an all cash & and over full price sale! John made sure the buyer had no hidden contingencies and all went extremely smooth! Thanks to John and his efforts my long time plan is being realized and I'm relocating to my new home in South Carolina. I am very happy to tell you that I'm more than glad I chose John too!
Sincerely,
Connie Laskay

"John,

Who would have thought when you sold us this house 30 years ago as young kids, we?d sell it one day to downsize and you would be our Realtor! I am glad you are still in the business and even more glad you helped us again. In a terrible real estate market in the dead of winter you got us our price and in only 8 days!! Our friends thought we were wasting our time and ?we?d never sell?, but we know that you know the business better than anyone; and we know a lot of people!

No one does real estate better, I don?t care who they are. All of your information, advice and marketing were right on target! We had 25 showings and 3 offers!We still can?t get over it, we?ve just come from signing our sales contract and now it?s official, in 8 days, unbelievable!

Phyllis and I are looking forward to shopping for the new home with the peace of mind that our home is sold, closed and our money is ?in the bank.?

I hope you show this letter to other people who may be downsizing because we are sure other sellers will have the same successful experience we had. Over the years we?ve gotten your mail outs and calendars and while your message is mostly always the same,
Experience Counts ,it?s the number of homes you?ve sold that?s astounding,1900!
Your slogan is for real.

Best wishes for the year ahead and see you soon.

Regards

Bob Pinto

"Dear John,
When I met with you via the recommendation of a mutual friend, I realized you know the business very well and could handle any market situation. While my home was meticulous & had a beautiful in-law unit too, I knew selling it would be a challenge because of the abundance of natural wood through out the house.
Anyway, I was very pleasantly surprised because the first day it went on the market we had over 10 showings & 3 offers. I ended up selling it for over full price in ONE day!
Because of you I was able to go ahead with my plans to relocate in time to help my daughter whose husband needed serious surgery.
I can't thank you enough and I will & have already recommended you to my friends.
Best wishes in you business and in all you do,
Regards,
Laura Sutton

"Dear John,
Your clear explanation of the listing and sales process and the high recommendation of you we got from our neighbor, a long time client of yours, were the reasons we chose you to handle the sale of our home.
Your information on the importance of accurately pricing the house and the support data of the pricing made sense and we could see you know what you're taking about. The follow up to each showing kept us in touch with information we needed to know when we needed to know it.
Once we had an offer your expertise in handling all of the negotiations made what can normally be a time of high anxiety much less stressful. And when we needed a plumber & dump runs, the people you got for us were on time, courteous and fast.
In a slow real estate market where homes stay on the market forever, thanks to you we have a successful sale that came together with-in 2 weeks of listing the house!
We highly recommend you to anyone who needs a Realtor."
Thank you again, Sincerely, Patricia Adam

"Dear John,
As you know we're closing on the sale of the house owned by my late wife's estate at 5 Wisteria Rd Trumbull. All I can see is great job! You listed the home on March 25 & not only did we get multiple offers but we signed an accepted binder on March 30! Of course initially I was concerned because of the poor economy & slow real estate market but you & your programs made it happen!
I want your future client's to know that you also kept me updated on all aspects of the pre-closing process & provided me with expert information that eliminated any stress & misunderstandings between the buyer's & myself.
Having been around real estate transactions in my professional life & selling other properties of mine prior to meeting you I can tell you I've not ever seen or had the smooth, swift, successful experience I have had with you.
I will tell anyone who has any real estate needs to call you if they really want a successful transaction!"
Thank you again, John O'Donnell

"Dear John,
David and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for selling our home at 17 Pumpkin Hill Rd. From the very beginning, after speaking with many different Realtors, you stood out due to your strong drive, creative marketing ideas and knowledge of the real estate market. In addition, no other Realtor that we interviewed was able to provide the exceptional visibility and reach of your advertising.
We were always impressed with everything you had to say & offer and felt completely secure with our decision to work with you. Your thorough review of comparable properties in the Trumbull, Monroe & Shelton areas were exceptionally helpful when pricing our home and buying our new home. Your marketing skills reflected considerable experience in advertising our home and it demonstrated you put a lot of thought into the proper marketing of our home.
Each time we toured a house, we always took into consideration and valued your objective viewpoint - it helped us a great deal with our decisions. There are so many aspects to consider when viewing a home- you made the decision process more manageable and less overwhelming. We were continuously impressed with your professionalism, your speedy response to questions &/or telephone calls and creative suggestions and solutions.
We are deeply appreciative for all your hard work, honesty and consideration and would not hesitate to recommend your services to any prospective seller. You may use us as a reference any time.
Thank you again for EVERYTHING!"
Warmest regard, David & Karen

"Dear John,
Subject: Home Sale and Purchase
Kathy and I want to thank you for your guidance, support and endless efforts to sell our home during a very soft real estate market. Our total time on the market from listing to sale was less than half the current national and regional average.
You have provided sound advice throughout the entire process; your follow up and communication far exceeded our expectations. When we initially met you at an open house one Sunday afternoon, we immediately knew that you were the agent we would like to have representing us when it came time to put our house on the market.
You maintained a level of confidence and positive outlook throughout our listing and showing process; this was key for keeping us motivated as interested parties came in and out of the picture.
We also thank you for all of the support on the purchasing side of our activity. You were able to dedicate considerable time showing us different properties and your advice and recommendations concerning resale value were much appreciated.
Kathy and I sold and bought a home just three years ago and the level of frustration we endured with our real estate broker at that time left us very nervous about broker selection for this sale and purchase. Our experience working with you was friendly, informative, educational and positive in all ways."
Sincerely yours, Don and Kathy DeBlois

And John is very knowledgeable about the real estate market as well as the psychology and negotiating skills involved for us to achieve our goal of getting the perfect replacement home! He was very responsive to all our questions in both the selling and buying end. <br />"

"I initially used John as my Realtor to represent me to sell a Trumbull property that belonged to our late parents. As the estate administrator I naturally listed the house with our sister, who was a Coldwell Banker agent. Just before Thanksgiving after a year of no sale a cousin recommended John. He got the house sold at full price in 3 weeks! <br />Within 2 years I became the estate administrator again For my sister & our former agent with Coldwell Banker. I listed her home with them because she had friends there. Again, no success. And again I reached out to John & again a fast, full price sale, this time in 2 weeks! <br />I found John to be trustworthy, seasoned, knowledgeable and insightful. As I said here ,used him in the past and am glad I chose him again. Lynne Forte, Trumbull <br />"

"We had the house listed for over 18 mos with 2 other companies with no offers. John Cavaliere got us a great price in less than 20 days! He kept us informed in every step of the buyers very lengthy mortgage process. We've sold other properties over the years but never had a more professional or Savy agent like John. He provided information & solutions to issues raised by the Buyer's Lender which would have normally terminated the sale, but thanks to John's knowledge & experience, even astounding our attorney, our sale successfully closed!

"John went above and beyond as an agent including sending someone to London, England to get a "Wet" signature was needed from a party there to the transaction here ! He represented a very complicated probate matter that had multiple liens to clear and John was able to navigate, negotiate with the lien holders/buyer/bank, and sell the property to settle the debt of the estate. He saw the entire process through every step of the way and was in constant communication with every party involved. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard working, dedicated, professional agent- especially to anyone who has a complicated, need to sell situation. <br /> <br />Kenneth Demko Estate, Rick Demko, Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

In the end, he helped to make it all work and we are completely satisfied with the sale and the way in all turned out; we got our first Deposit in 6 days, our 2nd deposit in 29 days & closed right away!

"He made this process as easy as possible. It is a stressful time and he eliminated alot of the headaches that comes with selling and buying a house at the same time. He took care of everything and always put my wife and I at ease.

"I have dealt with other real estate agents but have never received such efficient and personalized service. Mr Cavaliere provided transportation to and from homes while I stayed at my relatives in CT, since I didn't have a rental car. He was knowledgeable about many communities' features and amenities, provided thorough answers to my questions, and was able to narrow down choices according to my specific & narrow criteria. He provided expert guidance before, during, and after the sale and made the entire process easy & pleasant for me. I never had to have a message relayed to Mr. Cavaliere; he was always available by cell phone, and I never had to wait for an answer. His dedicated and personal service were invaluable to me. <br />Rena Sproston"

"John Cavaliere did an excellent job selling my Dads home & an investment property which was not a very easy sell. He kept me updated after every showing which was very important to me as my Dad's caregiver. I've heard horror stories from others about agent & sale issues and how long their sales had taken. That was far from our very successful experience with John. <br />His pricing method & marketing as well as very on hands approach made both sales extremely smooth with no issues at all. <br />Larry Lynn, POA"
