A Recent Testimonial From A Buyer
“I recently purchased my 2nd home with the guidance of David Soltero of Sereny & Soltero. Having gone through the process before with another broker when I previously purchased I was amazed at how well David & Rolan understood the market, properties and overall process better than past brokers Ive dealt with. More importantly, they worked diligently to get me into homes, talk me through the process, and (at the end of the day) help me purchase my home in the LES. As if that wasn't enough David then helped me lease my home in the UES...in a week. Next time I buy, sell, or lease I know that Sereny & Soltero will be the first call I make.”
