Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Patient. Rocky guided me through the entire process and was able to make my first home purchase a seamless experience. Thank you 2024
It was easy to work with Rocky on the sale of the house. He knew the market place, was responsive and service-minded. He was flexible and focused on my needs, for example finding contractors for minor repairs before the sale and providing guidance to prepare the house for photographer.
Rocky's experience made it possible to move fast (which was a priority for me) and the house was on the market about a week after we started working together, and closing was about 1.5 month later.
One thing I appreciated with Rocky's approach was his understanding of right timing for discussions related to steps in the sale process. This was the first time I sold a house and therefore had many knowledge gaps. He answered my questions as they came up, but for other things his step-wise approach of brining up them up as they became relevant was highly appreciated. That allowed me to focus on decisions I needed to make and not be distracted with things I couldn't do anything about at that time-point. 2023
Had a great experience with Rocky. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, is friendly, relationship-oriented and unfailingly displayed a high degree of professionalism. As a first-time buyer in a challenging post-pandemic market, his extensive expertise--not to mention patience!--really helped and I believe offered me a competitive edge. He went above and beyond at each step - from my initial consultation (and really taking the time to understand my needs and preferences on a fundamental level, thoroughly) through negotiations, communication with various parties, closing and beyond. He is a fantastic sounding board with good judgement - knowledgeable and honest and forthright. Also, the depth and breadth of his favorable relationships and connections across the industry is impressive. I'm happy to have had his representation as an agent, and excited about my new home. I would recommend Rocky highly, without hesitation and look forward to working with him again in the future. 2023
Rocky Balsamo is by far the best realtor we have had the pleasure of working with. He is well versed in the real estate profession. From our initial meeting, he was well prepared with comparable listings and knowledge of the area. His expertise in real estate negotiations helped ease the stress of buying a house. He confidentially guided us through the entire process, keeping in constant contact and answering any questions or concerns that we had. Rocky truly cares about his clients. He is hard working, kind and patient. We look forward to using him for the upcoming sale of our house. 2023
Rocky is the person to go to if you want an honest, hard working realtor when buying or selling a home. He covers every detail and will work hard to get you what you want. His support team is fantastic. Go with the best Go With Rocky! 2023
I have been working with Rocky for years now. His experience and deep understanding of the market are invaluable. He provides exceptional service, was always punctual, and was incredibly responsive to our queries. He turned what could have been a stressful process into an easy and enjoyable experience. I cannot say enough about his, knowledge, hard work and professionalism. 2023
I am so thankful that I reached out to Rocky to help me purchase my first home. Rocky is well connected, extremely knowledgeable (an obvious expert in many things related to home buying), super responsive, a great communicator and counseled me perfectly in the negotiation and offer process. I could not recommend Rocky highly enough! 2023
From our first conversation on the phone I could tell Rocky was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and super honest. We could not have asked for a better Realtor. We put our trust in him and he made the entire first time homebuying experience as easy, quick, and simple, as it could be, even with the state of the the market right now. We never felt pressured, stressed, or rushed. He is responsive when you have questions, fun to work with, a true professional, and just a good person! We are so glad we went with Rocky! 2023
My wife and I worked with Rocky to buy our first home, and I can't imagine that the process could have gone any more smoothly than it did. From our first meeting with Rocky, it was clear that he brought a lot of experience and was going to be straightforward with us throughout the process. When we went house-hunting with him, we loved that he knew exactly what things to look for right away in every house we went into. We eventually ended up purchasing a house which he was a disclosed dual-agent for, and we felt that he was extremely professional about representing both us and the sellers. Rocky was always prompt to address all of our questions along the way, and we really couldn't be happier about our experience working with him! 2023
Rocky was recommended by a friend and himself became our friend, a great adviser and ally in our efforts to get our house ready to put on the market. Constantly and infectiously friendly, Rocky has great expertise, he applied his experience to our situation and kept us feeling confident and positive. It is rare for people to believe they can fully trust any salesman/realtor BUT Rocky is that man you can trust. 2023
Rocky did it again - another lightning fast sale for us! It was late Fall and the real estate market was depressed. We all recognized this was not a good time to list our mothers house. Despite this, Rocky found a qualified buyer that had a schedule that matched ours. We didnt even need photographs or an MLS listing!
In the end, we got the price we wanted and a closing date that worked perfectly with our estate settlement.
We highly recommend Rocky to anyone in need of selling their home. He is a high-energy, top-notch real estate professional.
Buying a house is without a doubt one of the most stressful experiences you can encounter. We are so thankful to have had Rocky Balsamo in our corner for the second time. The road to our new home included a LOT of unforeseen challenges and Rocky was incredible at providing context, resources and a little bit of sanity while we worked through them. We were also thankful to have Kenneth Culter as our attorney, as he ensured each decision was in our best interest and spent a LOT of time ensuring we fully understood any/all decisions. Finally, Nick Dogias from Vitale Home Inspections was the last piece of this puzzle. Nick does amazing work and provides the perfect amount of education on each and every system, feature and concern within the home. The information provided in this process was invaluable during the deal, but will serve us well for many years to come.
You truly cannot ask for a better team to guide you through the process of buying a home! 2022
Rocky Balsamo was recommended to me by relatives. From the first conversation, I felt confident that I found an experienced, dedicated and supportive realtor. In fact, I found much more: thorough professionalism, extensive knowledge, attention to every detail, a wealth of valuable suggestions, responsiveness and resourcefulness, a strong team, complete reliability and civility. I am grateful for his invaluable service. 2022
Rocky was instrumental on guiding us through this difficult move, from the moment we spoke I knew he would get it done! He was highly recommended from one of my most trusted friends. He had a plan, told us what we should do to prepare the property. His marketing, photography, and virtual staging of the property was amazing! His team along with Lauren stayed on top of every aspect of the sale. They exceeded our expectations, Thank you! 2022
We had a rather unique situation when we met with Rocky. Throughout the entire process he was honest, courteous and patient, always willing to answer any question I had and offer his professional opinion when necessary. His professionalism, patience and understanding through it all was truly appreciated. 2022
Rocky was recommended to me by my daughter. She was right on about Rocky - being a highly motivated realtor. From my initial call to him (while he was driving to have a long weekend away) through all the problems and issues associated to the selling of my relatives house - he was always available to talk and offer his advise. He worked with the other realtors and lawyers with no problems. He always had a solution to any issue and they were always acceptable to me. Never gave excuses as to why something may not have happened or happened differently than anticipated. Would highly recommend Rocky and his crew to handle your sale or purchase of a property. 2021
Rocky was professional and helpful. He listed my original home and helped me to find my current one. I provided him with a list of my "wants", and he did not waste my time or his on properties that did not fit my criteria. I would highly recommend him. He is also a nice guy. I give an over rating of good. 2021
Rocky did a great job from start to finish. He helped guide us on the best way to go about getting the house on the market with staging all the way through the sale. He marketed the property as expected to our plan and all went smooth and the house was sold quickly!
Rocky made sure that we were involved every step of the way and that we understood everything that was going on with the marketing, and reviewing offers and best way to choose an offer.
We could not be happier to work with Rocky and will work with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell. 2021
Rocky is professional and is on top of everything. He made my house-selling experience stress free. It was such comfort him helping me with tough decisions . Thanks again Rocky !!! Mike Pascarella 2021
Thanks to Rocky I had no stress selling my home. He took the burden from me at the outset and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. Rocky is professional and trustworthy. I am extremely happy with the outcome of the sale of my home. Working with Rocky has been a great experience and I highly recommend him! 2020
Rocky was the perfect realtor. We have since moved out of NJ but forever hold all realtors to his high standard. He sold us our first home which was a scary experience for us and he took the time to walk us through each step making us feel at ease and in control. He was our only consideration when we then choose to sell that same home. If you are looking for a realtor who not only knows the Market but also understands people, look no further than Rocky!
When your ready to purchase or sell your home you need to have a trusted advisor. This is a person who has high integrity, mastery of subject matter and the ability to steer their client down the path to success. I can say unequivocally Rocky Balsamo is that person. Put your real estate transactions in the hands of a true professional. Call Rocky who will get the job done. You wont be sorry! 2020
Rocky Balsamo is who you want to use when buying or selling your home! He walks you through every step of the process and is available at all times to answer any questions you have along the way. He makes your transaction a priority and treats you like family. I have recommended him to family and friends and will continue to do so! When you work with Rocky, you are working with the best! 2020
I worked with Rocky as both a buyer and a seller because I needed to make sure my Realtor was knowledgeable and honorable. Rocky made me feel safe in doing this type of transaction and guided me through. Even with a mask! I would recommend him again and again! 2020
Rocky was outstanding to work with! He was able to help us sell our first home and purchase our dream home. He walked us through the entire process, answered all of our question, was easily reachable and an overall pleasure to work with. He treated us like family from start to finish. I will ALWAYS recommend Rocky to our family and friends. Thank you again! 2020
Rocky was absolutely wonderful with helping us buy our home. He was patient with us. He was available every step of the way and always offered amazing advice. I would recommend him over and over again! 2019
Rocky's was so professional in selling our home every step of the way. His persistence and patience throughout the entire process was comforting. I will continue to refer friends and family to him. 2018
This is the second time Rocky has helped us sell a home. We wouldnt use anyone else! He sold both our homes quickly. Rocky offered excellent advice, answered every question we had along the way, and guided us through the process with professionalism. We highly recommend using Rocky! 2018
To properly rate Rocky, there should be more stars. We have worked with a number of realtors in the past, but, to use a baseball term, working with Rocky made us realize that we had been working with Minor League personnel in the past. Rocky is a Major League professional who marketed our home aggressively, unfailingly gave us great advice (some we didn't want to hear), kept us totally informed, and attended to every detail of our transaction, no matter how small - frequently at great personal inconvenience. We would unconditionally recommend Rocky to anyone who cares to have themselves represented by the best. 2017
Rocky came through for me and my dad in a time of great stress. He could not have been more patient, helpful or accommodating of the difficult circumstances surrounding the sale of my parents' home after my mom's death. His contacts with handy-men, plumbers, and electricians in the area as well as his own availability to assist with staging and even some repairs was invaluable. Rocky is a great friend as well as a realtor, but I suspect the treatment we got would be no different for a total stranger. I most definitely recommend Rocky and his impeccable staff. 2016
Rocky was a great help in closing the deal on our new home. We got a great home at a great location and at a great price. His knowledge of the area was a significant factor in helping us make a decision. We recommend him to all our friends. 2015
Rocky knew exactly what my husband and I wanted. He had patience and took us to view many houses. As soon as the information hit his desk he was on it, took us to see it in the snow and gave us his input as to what we need to do to secure this purchase of the house. I know he is my son but I cannot say enough about how well versed he is in his profession and if you want to sell or buy a house Rocky is the man to see. 2015
