🏡 In Real Estate, Trust Is Everything
Choosing the right REALTOR® can make the difference between a smooth, successful move — and a stressful one. But how do you really know who to trust when every agent says they’re “the best”?
The answer is simple: listen to the people who’ve already worked with them.
Online reviews have become the new word-of-mouth — and in a close-knit community like Stony Brook, where neighbors talk and referrals travel fast, those words matter more than ever.
🌟 Real People, Real Experiences
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients buy and sell homes across Stony Brook, Setauket, Port Jefferson, and the North Shore of Long Island.
Together, they’ve shared more than 180 five-star reviews on Google and Zillow — and every one tells a story.
Like Jennifer Wilking, who first met me when she and her husband bought a home I had listed:
“She was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Six years later, when it was time to sell, we didn’t even think twice about calling her. She listened to our needs, offered great advice, and handled everything professionally and calmly.”
That’s the power of relationships built on trust.
Or Anne Chimelis, who turned to me during a difficult time for her family:
“Shaughnessy was so much more than just a realtor to our family. She helped us during a rough transition, found a new home for our son, and even checked in after closing to make sure we were all settled.”
When I say I care about my clients — I mean it. This isn’t just about transactions; it’s about people, stories, and making life transitions smoother.
🧠Why Reviews Help You as a Buyer or Seller
When you’re reading reviews, look beyond the stars and focus on what people say about:
- Communication: Do clients mention quick responses and clear guidance?
- Expertise: Do they reference market knowledge or negotiation skills?
- Support: Do they talk about feeling cared for, not just “handled”?
- Consistency: Are the reviews steady over years — or just clustered from one month?
