TESTIMONIALS
WORDS FROM A FEW CLIENTS.
Serge found me the perfect house. He is easy going, diligent, and has access to very special listings before they go on the market. We had a tricky escrow, but he stayed on top of communications with the sellers, and applied the right amount of pressure with our lenders. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home. Without a doubt he will send you the best listings available, tailored to your needs, and support you through the entire process.

Serge found my dream home before I could spell DREAM. He was able to ascertain exactly what I was looking for, without my knowing how to put it in his terms. Every moment spent working together was efficient, and productive. Serge is a beautiful human, with the sensitivity needed to listen to your needs, the drive and commitment to discover notable properties, and the experience to make the process a walk in the park.

Serge has impeccable instincts and taste, understood immediately what kinds of properties to show us, and did not waste any of our time by missing the mark. He knows how to listen and does not push his clients. In the current competitive real estate market, we felt full trust as he expertly guided us in closing the deal. While a consummate professional—timely, knowledgable, dependable— what we both appreciate most is how kind, patient, easy-going and funny Serge is. We recommend him without hesitation!

(FORMER PRESIDENT)
Serge stepped in mid way through an unexpected and difficult remodel stemming from undisclosed structural damage. His design choices were inspired and beautiful, and he made wise decisions balancing often conflicting needs such as budget and timeline.
Serge was a like a brother working with me through a challenging situation. He turned the house into a work of art and it yielded the best financial outcome possible. Serge brought wisdom, compassion, and integrity at every step.

Serge was incredibly patient and helpful through my long and meandering search for a home. He really understood what I was looking for and sought it out without compromise.
His strongest attribute was his deep connection to the community which got the deal clenched in this competitive market. I felt taken care of the whole time. Above and beyond what I thought a real estate agent could provide in terms of support through a very complicated process. I absolutely loved working with Serge and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

(HEAD CHEF, CO-OWNER)
We have found Serge to be honest, hard-working, attentive to detail, creative and pragmatic. Our beautiful home came on the market during New Year’s while Serge was out of the country. Even then, he sent us the listing as soon as it came available, oversaw the entire transaction, coordinated with his team to make it seamless, and stayed with us until our offer was accepted. In our many experiences with realtors, Serge’s qualities make him a unique wellspring of care in a profession that needs such. “Buying" a home is a big deal!

Finding a home is not an easy task - thankfully Serge came into our life as soon as we set out to do so. The process felt as I believe it should feel; natural, fun, positive, humble. Serge listened to us closely, making time to understand what was important to us as we set out to look for our first family home. And we found it with ease and excitement. It was a cosmic match and we were guided by a cosmic dude. Thank you, Serge.

I’m beyond grateful to have Serge as my trusted realtor. His clarity and supportive nature was the exact approach my sister and I needed in purchasing our very first home! It’s really important for me that my relations and transactions are enjoyable and buying a home spearheaded by Serge was just that. He moves with peace and strength: a dynamic combination. I happily share that Serge Bandura is my realtor and will continue to recommend him to everyone.
