"Dear Maureen, Thanks so much for the wonderful move. I still can’t get over how beautiful and organized everything looks. My friends who have been over to visit are amazed and all comment that it looks like I have lived here for a month! I sent a friend in Washington some pictures and she commented that she would like a mavin to come to live with her! You have made a difficult situation so much easier."
When we first decided to sell our Westfield house in February, 2015, I contacted Susan. She came in and respectfully and professionally put together a checklist of items that she recommended to be done in order to best showcase our home. She put me in touch with the appropriate people who accomplished the "to do" list. These workmen did excellent work in a timely fashion. Our home was listed in mid March and sold late May. It was amazing!
Read MoreSusan has been helping us look for a home and has been outstanding. We cannot recommend her enough as she has made sure we haven't overbid or let great opportunities and investments go. Not to mention her Mavins team is fantastic. If she is not available, there is always someone just as qualified and helpful available to show us homes and provide insight.
Susan Devaney has been with us every step of the way as we have searched for our new home. She has worked tirelessly on our behalf to help is identify properties and quickly lined up homes for us to view. In such a competitive market, you want someone as timely, prepared, and knowledge as Susan Devaney. We feel incredibly lucky that we have had the true pleasure of working with her – she and her team are fantastic! I cannot recommend Susan Devaney more highly.
If you want to buy/sell the house in New Jersey, no need to look around. Contact Cheryl Siko and/or her team and you will find out. Not only she has extensive experience and knowledge, but also she has warmest heart for her clients. Have you heard real estate agent on call 24x7? Not in my previous experience until I meet Cheryl and her team. Any question you ask, they will communicate back to you either real time or asap, never go to another day/night. You will have a good night sleep since you feel she and her team care, and they are always there for you!
In the open house and closing walk through, Cheryl helped me to understand the land, house, structure, component, material, gardening, how to do home improvement, pros and cons. It is not just the house I bought. I also learn how to build the healthy relationship with the house.
There could be expected events during the real estate process. I can not imagine to get my deal done without the help from her and her team. A lot of this or that regulation in the township and mortgage bank may scare the seller and buyer, delay or even jeopardize the deal. Hiring the best professionals like Cheryl will make your life easy and comfortable in the whole transaction.
When my husband and I hired Cheryl Siko, one of the associates of the The Mavins Group, I was surprised to find out that I also got the second person, Susan Devaney, who worked on my case together with the associate. Both Susan and Cheryl oversaw the daily progress of my case, on call 24x7, and communicated with me with detailed information of status and issues almost every day. They considered and respected your interests and concerns very seriously. I cannot thank Susan enough for her help and guideline.
The most impressive part is that Susan knows how to negotiate with other parties, when to press buttons, make decisions, to then finally get the things done. Not all real estate transactions run smoothly. Unexpected events may happen one by one. I am lucky to have Susan and her team to work together to overcome challenges and find solutions.
Some people may want to do real estate transactions without agents and attorneys. Well, it may or may not work. I believe majority of ordinary people should hire best professionals like Susan and Cheryl. Government regulations and/or mortgage applications are too complicated and may cause the deal abort. Susan and her team have excellent experience, knowledge and ability to handle challenges. Contact them to find out yourself.
Faced the task of downsizing her older parents while caring for one with dementia. She hired the Mavins to help and said: "The energy and enthusiasm was contagious. The Mavins were very focused on the job and really helped distinguish what should be kept and why. The people were exceptional on all levels. Professional but still friendly and compassionate."
When asked if she would recommend our services, she said:
Absolutely. There is no way we would have been able to downsize from a 3-story house to a one bedroom apartment, and deal with all the stuff, without their advice and efforts.
“Someone planning a move — for themselves or for a loved one — could not choose a better partner to help them than The Mavins Group. Their team of professionals will put you at ease from the moment you engage them.
Moving is such a stressful and overwhelming task, and they make it so so comfortable to do. Their time-tested methodology, their cheerful “can-do” attitude, their willingness to do as little or as much as you might need or want, and their overall professionalism is beyond compare.
The Mavins Group helped manage a move for an 88-year-old cousin from whom I live some 1,200 miles away. They met with her several times and helped hold her hand during the entire process of organizing and closing out her house. They were patient, respectful, firm, and very very pleasant in their dealings with her onsite and in their dealings with me from afar.
They were amazingly transparent with their communication, their fees, their scope of work, and all the small odds and ends that arise during a move. And they never got flustered even though we had many changes during the whole process.
They engage the services of other professionals with whom they have had extensive dealings, and the whole process works like a fine-tuned machine.
My cousin’s house was packed and moved in a day and a half and then unpacked in a half-day. The Mavins Group organized the disposal of items for various nonprofit groups, as well as the disposal of items that were simply to be thrown away. They made it so easy for my cousin, which allowed her to focus on the important things — getting ready for a very significant life change in event – a move from her home of over 30 years.
I simply can’t recommend them highly enough.
A very satisfied customer, "Paul”
“Susan and the Mavins Group are five stars all the way. I do not think I could have managed this sale without her. I have dealt with other agents before and by far Susan was the most knowledgeable and most responsive. By nature, I am a very nervous person. Susan guided me throughout this process and had to talk me "off the ledge" many times. Her team is professional and attentive and each one knew haw to effectively answer my questions and keep me from having a breakdown. She also facilitated providing me with every service I could use from a contractor to a mover. She was my moving concierge. KUDOS TO HER AND HER TEAM!!!!! The BEST!!”
“Although I did not ultimately buy or rent another place, it was great to deal with Cheryl. She cares about people and knows a great deal about the local market. Plus, she is willing to spend a great deal of time getting to understand her prospect.”
