Testimonials

The following testimonials were written by just some of my happy sellers and buyers. They have all been kind enough to give me permission to show you their correspondence. Their letters and words are very gratifying to me. It seems that my down-to-earth and honest approach has earned me many friends over my 36 years of selling!

Dear Cosmo,

My family and I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did on selling my mother's house for us in less than a week.

Being "sellers" was a new experience for us and we appreciate your courtesy and support while guiding us through the process. We particularly appreciate the fact that you were as good as your word every step of the way.

It was a pleasure dealing with you and we would call on you again if the need arises. We would also recommend you without hesitation to anyone requiring the services of a top notch realtor.

Sincerely,

Sylvia Wotherspoon

A Job Well Done Cosmo

Thanks again for a heads up job. I tried to sell my condo last year with no success. This year I called you and within days, after taking all your ideas to present my condo properly, we had offers!! Thanks again for an outstanding job and getting me the money I wanted. I will have no problems referring you to all my friends.

Thanks to Cosmo's management!!

I couldn't imagine a more helpful realtor than Cosmo. As first time buyers everything was uncharted waters for us, but we never came across any problems, or if we did look back on them now I can't even recognize them as problems thanks to Cosmo's management. No question we asked was too large or too small, and I could tell from the get-go that Cosmo really cared about making sure we not only got what we needed, but what we wanted as well. All I'd ever heard from anyone was that buying a house was not a simple process, but if there was anything complicated about it I don't really know what that would be because Cosmo handled everything without batting an eye.

Thank you so much!!

Cosmo, once again you did a great job. We have bought and sold many properties with you in the past and this time was no different. Your straight forward advice and timing was perfect. Thanks again for your patience and understanding of our concerns!!

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my appreciation for the pleasant and professional services Cosmo Valente provided to me and my brother when it came time to sell the family home. Cosmo was recommended to us by long time neighbours. Cosmo had successfully sold their family home above the listing price earlier in the year.

To ensure we did our due diligence we interviewed Cosmo and a second realtor. While both were extremely professional, it was clear that Cosmo best understood and respected our professional backgrounds and our reasons to sell. He took the time to get a good grasp of our intentions and created a detailed report containing the relevant recent sales and current listings in the neighbourhood. Cosmo then presented a range of values and suggested a listing price.

The market was not as strong at the time our home was listed but Cosmo was confident he could attract a buyer. The initial listing, while aggressive, was later reduced to reflect the emerging trend in the area.

From the initial listing to the final sale Cosmo was able to generate and sustain a good level of interest and showings of the property. Cosmo always kept us informed, readily answered any questions/concerns and was easily reached via phone or e-mail. The house was being used as a rental at the time of sale and Cosmo’s pleasant attitude allowed him to work with the tenant without any difficulty.

I am happy to report that the house sold in about six weeks at a price that was supported by the then current sales and listings. From our initial meeting to the successful conclusion with a sale Cosmo ensured the entire process was an extremely positive experience.

I would have no difficulty recommending the services of Cosmo Valente to anyone considering listing their home for sale.

Earl & Neil Ellett

Thank you

Thank you Cosmo for your professionalism and commitment to achieving great results on the buying and selling of our home. We appreciated your honesty and integrity during negotiations and the open communication we had on a daily basis. You worked with us closely to make the process simple and easy to understand and most of all made sure our emotions did not get in the way of common sense.

You are very personable and great to work with. We would recommend you without hesitation.

Julia and Andrea

We were very pleased

We were very pleased with Cosmo's service and we're glad to see that he had done his homework. He had everything figured out and it took less than twenty-four hours to sell our home and we got a lot more than we ever expected!! My husband and I lead a very busy life and Cosmo did not waste anytime finding us a new home. Steering us into the right direction, he was able to find us a home in a lovely neighborhood and we are very delighted with our new home. We would have no problems recommending him to any of our friends!!

Thanks again for turning such a stressful time into an easy transition.

Greg and Grace

Dear Cosmo

Thank you so much for all you’ve done. You really out did yourself this time! Your careful and thought out plan worked just like you said it would. We never thought we’d get a full price offer but you somehow pulled it off. This is now our 5th dealing with you and we intend to use you again. Your professionalism and experience is very evident and we have no problem recommending you to all our friends. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work.

Nando & Serafina Raffele

Cosmo

Even though this deal became a little tricky, somehow it all worked out at the end. We’ll never forget that you actually closed the deal just days after your knee surgery as you painfully hobbled around. Thanks for your dedication and professionalism as you carefully negotiated a fair deal for both sides of the sale of our home, and then turned around and found us a great investment property. We lost track but I think this is the 10th deal we’ve done with you. Working with such an experienced realtor like you sure takes away the stress of such emotional transactions. Thanks again for a job well done!!

I cannot say enough

Having gone through several realtors over these past number of years, I have found many to be very decent, competent professionals. Cosmo Valente however went far beyond my expectations of what a realtor can or should be. The confidence he inspired, the take-charge, can-do, I’ll take care of it attitude was wonderfully comforting. He made us feel like he wouldn't have done anything different if we were part of his own family. His personal touch and warmth, coupled with his obvious professionalism, made him a joy to work with.

He made my potentially most difficult move the easiest it has ever been, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure the move was a success. I cannot say enough about what a great job he did! I have recommended him to all my friends.

Recommending him to others!

For me the question Would you recommend this realtor to your kids, is the final test of how I feel about any realtor! In Cosmo's case the answer to that question was and is an unequivocal yes. When I ask myself why do I think that way about this realtor? I come away with the following experiences and sentiments.

Experience one - Cosmo did a good job helping me make a purchase in 2003.

Experience two - He did an even better job selling my daughters condo in 2005

Experience three - He did a great job selling my condo in 2005.

Obviously he is good at what he does! Why? Cosmo is interested in you. He is very good at building constructive amicable, focused relationships with his clients. He is efficient and uses his efficiency to take care of the details for his clients. While highly motivated Cosmo maintains good healthy balance in his personal life.

I will use Cosmo's services again and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others!

John Zanatta

Thanks Again!!

My brother and I were more than pleased with Cosmo's services when we sold our family home a few years ago. He was always pleasant, prompt and professional as he kept us informed of any progress. We were happy to conclude a sale within a reasonable timeframe.

When it came time to sell my rental property last year, without question, my "go to" guy was Cosmo. He once again delivered the same high quality professional service I experienced in the past. The listing and his efforts to market the property generated multiple offers after a successful open house with the property selling over the asking price.

I would recommend Cosmo to anyone seeking a Realtor. He is an affable fellow who puts you at ease as he outlines his strategy for selling the property. Cosmo knows his neighbourhoods, the current and past market activity and does not hesitate to listen to his client's concerns. Whether by phone, email or text, Cosmo always had a quick response.

Thanks again for excellent service, Cosmo!

"Better then Online Dating"

Cosmo is not a realtor, he's a Match Maker. I gave him a list of the qualities I was looking for and I fell in love when he found me the perfect home. It was so much easier than "Online Dating". And Cosmo made sure that even after the sale, that this ideal match would last for years to come. The only thing that would of made it better was if he had paid for the house!

Thanks Cosmo!!

"Second to None"

Cosmo was our realtor in 2016 when we sold our home. Not only was he able to get us over asking, but he found us our dream home to move into. He definetly worked on our behalf, his clients, and was able to negotiate an incredible deal for the home we purchased. Cosmo's knowledge of the North Shore and unbeleivable ability to be able to find us the home that best suited us is second to none. Having bought multiple homes on the North Shore, I would recommend Cosmo ALWAYS! Cosmo puts his clients first. I would recommend anyone needing a realtor to use Cosmo. I know that we will ALWAYS use him in the future!

"If you want the best, he is your guy!!!"

We all know that selling and moving is a very emotional and overwhelming experience. When my mother in law made that big decision in 2016 to sell we knew that Cosmo would be the perfect agent. He is very professional and organized but more importantly he was empathetic. He made sure that she understood every step of the process and looked after all the details so she could focus on the other million things she had to do . He was there for any questions big or small and made sure that no detail was overlooked. We would recommend Cosmo to everyone looking to sell or buy. If you want the best he is your guy!!!

Adrienne and Brian Douglas

"THANK YOU COSMO"

Your help and input in making sure that the house I bought had everything I wanted and needed was truly priceless.

Although you were representing both the seller and myself, you were very professional and made sure that you took care of all my demands and requests. I am so happy I met you and worked with you. You have followed up multiple times to make sure that I am happy with my new house which is not necessary but so very appreciated!

I am sure that our paths will cross again sometime in the future.

"SMOOTH TRANSACTIONS"

We used Cosmo to handle the sale of our condominium and the purchase of our home.

The transactions were very smooth and he took good care of us.

We appreciate his expertise in the real estate business and would recomend him to everyone we know!

Ivana & Dusan Mares

"TOP NOTCH"

I have no word to express my gratitude to Cosmo. It is the third time I had the pleasure of working with him and Cosmo's experience and charisma make alot of difference while buying or selling.

The last time Cosmo went above and beyond my expectations to find me and my girls not only a home,but our dream home in such a competitve market.

Cosmo was restlesslty searching for new opportunities because he knew I had this short window to purchase my new place after selling our home. He was terrific and showed that he really cares about his clients and I felt so confident and hopeful that everything would be alright at the end. Even after some failed attempts, Cosmo was not fazed. Next day he would be sending me new listings and we were in the hunt again.

We are so happy in our new place and I always find myself thinking how lucky I am for having being introduced to Cosmo. He helped our dream come true.

Job Well Done

We met Cosmo at an Open House and our first impression was that he was very personable and knowledgable. His expertise of the North Shore market was easily apparent and he impressed us so much that we decided to list our then current house with him. During the process of buying and selling, Cosmo was very professional, friendly, hardworking, and ,most most important honest. He was always available and happy to answer all of our questions. We will absolutely recommend Cosmo to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home. We know he will go above and beyond with each of his future clients. Job well done, thank you Cosmo!

Gabriela & Scott

Very Well Connected

To buyers and sellers out there: I cannot say enough about the professionalism and efficiency of Cosmo Valente. He is the guy that gets things done and cuts through all the red tape to do it. He's very connected in the real estate and developer community. If he says he'll get something done, consider it done! I am extremely happy with the way the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new home went. Cosmo made it all very smooth and easy for me. I feel that he and his wife have become my friends. Thank You.

Laurie

THANK YOU COSMO!

We have no hesitation in recommending Cosmo to anyone looking to sell their home or purchase a new one. He is both personable and very knowledgable but most importantly, Cosmo cares deeply about his clients, consistently going above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction. His assistance in preparing our 30-year-old home for sale was invaluable. Cosmo and his entire team are highly competent, efficient, and professional. Thank you Cosmo for making our move such a seamless and positive experience!

"GOT SHIT DONE!"

The first time I met him, he made me laugh. "I'm here for my interview!", he said comically. A year earlier Cosmo had taken an interest in our development of multi-generational homes and had been an ambassador from the start. He had built a relationship with my husband but now he had to meet me! I was clear that I would be involved and that I was a part of this project. He was clear and that he had a wife at home who in fact worked alongside him at times. He welcomed me and my opinions with a great attitude and a laugh every time we met. He could see the time and energy we had invested in building these unique multi-generational homes. He understood our concept, our story, our passion and wasted no time creating a listing and write-up that sold our vision. in my mind I gave him 30 days to get the job done but within 2 weeks BOTH homes were sold. Seamless. Multi-generational living is a great concept. We built a great product and he got it! I couldn't have dreamed it would be so easy. So THANK YOU to Cosmo for going over and above and getting shit done, as you promised!

Analise and Greg Ipatowicz, One Stone Living

EXPERIENCED REALTOR

Cosmo has helped us buy two homes and sell one in the last ten years, and we couldn't be happier with his work! Cosmo is an experienced realtor, a good listener, he worked hard to make sure that we got everything we wanted and needed. Most importantly though, Cosmo is a genuinely nice and good person who has always been a pleasure to talk to and work with. We really can't recommend him enough.
