What Our Clients Say
Real stories, real experiences – see what our clients have to say about working with Joe Malerba
Joe is phenomenal in every way! We were relocating over 2000 miles away very quickly & needed to sell our home. Joe was kind, knowledgeable & really just went above & beyond for us. Truly a concierge realtor, anything we needed Joe was there to make sure was done quickly & done well, while keeping us informed the whole time. After listing, we had a signed contract in days for over asking & closed at 3 weeks! All this from the other side of the country, as we relocated just before listing. Joe’s help & expertise was invaluable to us during this whole process. We HIGHLY recommend him & his team!
The Key Team are top notch, A+ professionals. They just helped sell our house and they made it easy and enjoyable. Thank you guys for the great job! I highly recommend the Key Team led by Joe Malerba for any real estate needs!
Joe Malerba and the Key Real Estate Team exceeded our expectations to help us find our dream home during the Covid pandemic. We were doing a military move from Virginia and under a tight budget (both dollars and time). After a few unsuccessful days of looking, Joe sat us down to discuss what “WE REALLY WANTED” in a house. Turns out what we really wanted wasn’t what we had said/planned and Joe could tell that by the feedback we provided. So on day three, armed with fresh information, the second house we looked at elicited nothing but “ooohhhs” and “aaahhhs” for both wifey and me as it checked all the boxes. A big contemporary home, with a pool, on the water at an unbelievable price. Three years later we are still loving it and pinch ourselves sometimes because we can’t believe our dream home is actually ours. Joe is a great professional, you would be lucky to have him as your realtor.
Joe Malerba and the Key Team are fantastic to work with. Joe was our agent for the purchase of our home which happened to be our first. He was incredible about guiding us through a complex and new process. He provided us with excellent advice along the way and was patient, knowledgeable and professional. He truly cares about his clients, and it was evident that he was willing to go above and beyond in order to ensure the best possible outcome for us. He is so dedicated that he even walked through brambles and tall grass in a 3 piece suit to make sure we were able to see the whole perimeter of our property before putting in an offer! I would highly recommend choosing the Key Team for your real estate transaction - you will not be disappointed!
