The Buono Team Resource List

" Years ago a friend of mine was so impressed by the sale of his home by Joseph Buono that he informed me to turn to Joseph if I ever decided to sell my place in Franklin Park, NJ. My friend was so correct. Joseph's outlined strategy, things needing to be done up front and additional things Joseph did on his own while we were not available resulted in the sale of our condo above what we had expected. We could not be more happy in the way our condo was marketed and the final results. Joseph is a true up front and honest professional at his craft. I also feel i gained a friend in Joseph. Thank you Joseph for your outstanding work. Anyone needing additional testimony to Joseph's professional work can contact me and I would be glad to speak with them. Many thanks Joseph Buono! "

" Working with Joseph and his team was a very positive experience. Selling our home of 34 years was emotional and overwhelming at times. Joseph was professional, reliable, trustworthy and honest. He was a calming presence during a stressful time. He was very attentive to our needs and requests. He is very knowledgeable and helped us get our home ready for the market. Our house sold very quickly. Joseph and his team supported us every step of the way. "

- Karen Gorzynski

" I highly recommend Joe! He's smart, friendly, responsive, and he knows everyone and everything about the community. He had great advice on how to get the best return when I sold my property. It sold quickly, above asking, without hassles. What more could I want? Thanks, Joe! "

- Trish Cauley

" I recently sold my home where I raised a wonderful family. The emotional challenge of downsizing and transitioning was made much easier with the assistance of Joe Buono and the Buono Team. Joe Buono has long-standing ties to the community and decades of experience in real estate. His team provided high-quality work from start to finish. I was pleased with the quick communication and sound guidance. Joe connected us to several great service people throughout the selling process, and was proactive and efficient. I would highly recommend Joe and the Buono Team to anyone for their real estate needs. "

- Melinda Velez

" To praise the efforts and keenly thought out plan to sell my house would take several pages. Given that my home was atypical, one nestled in the woods off a gravel road, Joe had to treat this situation outside the box. Despite an improving and what most call “hot” market, my home needed one unique buyer, given the location and other non-conventional variables. He worked very hard, trying all he could, using his expertise, strong marketing efforts, and professional skill-set to get an incredible deal done. When the sale was in motion, his eagerness, care, and concern did not stop. He kept me in motion to make sure my end was fulfilled by constantly acting as my coach— he did not have to, but he did. His ability to quarterback my situation beyond successfully puts him in the Hall of Fame of realtors. Excellence is a habit, and Joe epitomizes excellence. Caveat Emptor— listing with most others will put you at risk. Anyone can sell a cookie-cutter in this market; show me the ones who handle the difficulties of an atypical home—with grace, integrity, professionalism, and class. "

- Andre Bakhos

" Joe was a true professional throughout the entire process of the sale of our home. He was a pleasure to work with and you could tell he had full knowledge of his industry. What impressed me the most was his values and honesty as well as his constant follow up work. I highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone that might be thinking of selling there home. "

- Charles Cohen

" My mother was ready to sell her townhouse. She contacted Joseph Buono who guided her and I through the entire process; from staging and de-cluttering to explaining what the market was and how to set the listing price. Joseph was so knowledgable that we received multiple '"over ask"' offers. All the people that we worked with from his office were also amazing and prompt when getting back to us. This is a true reflection on Joseph who's attention to detail, professionalism and overall kindness was greatly appreciated by my Mother and I. Five Stars! Thank you Joseph. "

- John N

" As everyone knows, buying or selling a house is stressful. Joe Buono removed all the stress. His approach is calm and professional. He also knows his craft exceedingly well. Every time his advice was spot on; in spite of our frequent mistaken misgivings. And everyone thinks they know how to sell a house. There were at least a dozen things Joe told us or did that we never would have thought of on our own. Finally, Joe is very thorough. He does not try to minimize the time he spends to maximize his profitability. It is clear he wants to "do it right" not just do it quick. If you hire a fantastic realtor whose name is not Joe Buono, if you are lucky, you hired the second best. "

- Andrew J. Carlowicz Jr.

" Professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and experienced. This was our first time selling a house and Joseph made the process as painless as possible. He checked in frequently to make sure everything was proceeding OK. He and his team did an incredible job marketing the house, bringing in a stager and an excellent photographer, and pointing us to a good landscaper, junk removal people, cleaning service, and real estate attorney. He made sure all paperwork was accurate and complete. We got the price we wanted and we’re happy that everything went smoothly. Thanks again Joseph. "

- Gil Braun

" We sold our property in Franklin Park, NJ just recently and are very satisfied with our real estate professional Joseph Buono! He was on top of things from the beginning to the end of the selling process. He will update us time to time on the progress of the process and his clarity of work and words are excellent! We will always work with him for our real estate needs! "

- Neetashah62

"

- Dimple Pranav Mehta

" When my husband and I set out to purchase our first home, we had NO CLUE where to start or what we were doing. We threw Joseph some curve balls being indecisive about where we wanted our forever home to be. Joseph stayed patient with us truly going above and beyond to make sure we would be 100% happy no matter where we ended up. He was knowledgeable and always had our best interests in mind no matter what the situation. The whole process was seamless and I know I am going to miss the phone calls "just checking in to say hello". I am a firm believer that people are meant to be in your life for a reason and after all was said and done, my husband and I know we have a true friend in Joseph. "

- Danielle and Brian Keenan

" Joseph Buono deserves 10 STARS. I have known and worked with Joseph since 1998 when I bought the very first house of my life at a fairly young age. I felt he was buying the house with me since he looked into all the details I had no idea. During the past two decades plus, I have sold, bought, rented, rented, rented, rented and sold with this friend. He has all the answers I needed. One example that how Joseph puts his clients interest first: while it's usually more profitable for a realtor to engage a sale than a rental, he never encourages me to sell my property when I was debating to sell or to rent. Instead, he always advises me to make decision based on my financial situation. I also have learned so much about real estate industry. Joseph has become a great friend long time ago. (By the way, we are still fairly young). Anyone would be very lucky to work with him. "

- Shin Pei

" Joseph Bouno is a true expert in his field. He offered me a sound advise prior to putting my property up for sale and kept me updated on all developments while the house was on market. Joseph takes full advantage of modern technology which saves time for everyone involved and makes the process easy and efficient. I would not hesitate in recommending Joseph Buono and his team for any of your Real Estate needs. "

" We bought our new home and sold our prior home with Joe Buono and his team. Joe has over 25+ years of experience in the local real estate market and his experience and professionalism was very valuable for us, especially when selling our home. I'd recommend Joe to anyone that's looking to buy or sell a home in South Brunswick. "

- Nandeesh Nagaraj

" We have bought this house and our last house, sold this house and 3 others with the Buono team. Joseph’s knowledge of this area and what it takes to get the job done is why we kept going back whenever we were in the market to buy or sell a home. Through this very difficult process, we were gently guided as to what we needed to do to sell our home and constantly reassured through the process. He was always there when we needed anything and listened to any problems we had and he always had the answer. We highly recommend the Buono team whether buying or selling a home. David and Catherine "

His experience and knowledge were evident and expected but his calming demeanor was especially appreciated during these most stressful times. We could not more strongly recommend him. "

- Salmaz

" Joe has handled the rental of our condo for many, many years. Whenever there was a problem to be handled, Joe was always there with great advice and recommendations. Joe and his team were there to let people in for inspections as well. When it came time for us to sell the property, Joe was the obvious choice. Getting the condo ready to put on the market was no easy task as we now live out of state. Joe made great recommendations on small upgrades, provided us with lists of contractors, and guided us through the process. We had three offers in three days all above the asking price. We highly recommend Joe and his terrific team! "

- Loretta Tarino

" Working with Joe on the sale of our long time family home made a very stressful time less stressful. His experience in the area and calm manner was just what we needed to feel comfortable and confident with the process. He told us what we needed to know not necessarily what we wanted to hear. Thanks to Joe's knowledge and professionalism we sold our home very quickly and will recomend him to friends and family without hesitation. "

- mazzola kathy

" We sold our house earlier this year. After having lived there for 32 years, it was a very emotional and stressful time for us. Joseph Buono helped us tremendously, and he went above and beyond in ensuring a smooth sales experience! From our first encounter, Joseph was very understanding, enthusiastic, not pushy, shared innovative marketing ideas with us, and provided reassurance. He has a solid knowledge of real estate, and displayed a "can-do" attitude. He always stressed that it would be a "team" effort, and it was! His office staff and associate realtors were always very personable and efficient. Joseph always listened to our concerns, and we collaborated with positive results! Our home was presented with a beautifully photographed layout, and advertising was outstanding! Joseph planned and held Open Houses, which actually yielded the sale. What really impressed us besides his warm, sincere manner, was that Joseph always checked in with us frequently, whether by telephone or email, to address any questions or concerns. He even answered phone calls during meetings! He was always there for us, very detail-oriented and strong on follow-up! Joseph was professional and above all, honest. In summary, we highly recommend Joseph Buono and ReMax/Diamond Realtors for all your real estate needs. They are the best in the area! With our sincere thanks and gratitude, Bill & Veronica Pleskach Kendall Park, NJ "

" Joe Buono and his team were extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the overall process. His team started with assisting us in the staging of our home for photos and the ensuing sale and showings. Providing advice without being demanding. Although the sale took longer than expected, Joe was responsive and supportive throughout the showings, handling the offers and assisting us in working through any and all decisions. The guidance always included positive support. During the showing process, Joe dealt with the high's and lows of having multiple potential buyers visiting our home. Any issue (especially a negative showing ) was handled by his team quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Joe and his team for anyone wanting to sell their home. "

- Michael OLaughlin

" I want to thank Joe personally for doing an amazing job at selling our home. He far exceeded my expectations and I can not be more grateful. Please use this agency and wonderful realtor/owner if you want your home sold with truly no stress. It was easy, peaceful and kind. I hope everyone can have this unbelievable experience. "

- Marie

" I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all of Joe Buono’s hard work and dedication in selling our parent's home. Joe’s expertise, professionalism, and commitment truly made a difference throughout the entire process. Joe’s guidance and advice were invaluable in helping the family navigate the complexities of the real estate market, and Joe’s attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly. Joe went above and beyond to market the property effectively, negotiate on our behalf, and secure a favorable outcome. Not only did Joe demonstrate exceptional knowledge and skills as a realtor, but his compassionate and understanding nature made a difficult time much easier to bear. His patience, reassurance, and constant communication kept us informed and reassured throughout the entire journey. A HUGE THANK YOU TO JOE AND HIS ENTIRE TEAM, for the unwavering support and for going the extra mile to ensure a successful sale. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking a reliable and dedicated realtor. You have our deepest appreciation. Warmest Regards, Dana, Janine, Liane and Sharon "

" Joseph and his team of professionals made my home selling experience very easy and stress free. Working with Joseph, you receive a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as someone who cares and listens to your needs. The team is thorough and helpful. I recommend them wholeheartedly. "

- Frank Amato

" I have known Joe for 25 years. I owned a rental condo and Joe had been getting it rented for me throughout that time. My wife and I live in California, so managing an income property remotely is a real challenge. Joe was my go to guy whenever something went wrong. He recommended plumbers, painters, handymen, etc. He would even go to my condo to let these people in when it was empty. Joe is well mannered, patient, respectful, extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and ALWAYS goes the extra mile for his clients. I can't say enough about this guy...So, when it came time to sell, Joe was my one and only choice AND we got more than the asking price...I have also dealt with other people in Joe's office. They are all top notch. If you are looking to buy, sell, or rent, you won't find a better office than Joseph G. Buono RE/MAX Diamond Realtors. "

" Excellent! Joe guided us through every step of selling our house with a steady hand. After an initial house walk through, he gave us advice on minor modifications to enhance and refresh the appeal and value of our home, along with contacts to assist us when needed. His team provided staging advice and professional photography. Showings were easy to control and coordinate using a scheduling app. His advice on sales price and strategy were fully explained and right on target. We achieved our goal of selling our house, substantially over asking price, in one week! "

- Claire Butera

" Joe is an awesome person. Very knowledgeable about the business. The best experience one could have when selling (buying) a home would be to work with Joe.

Highly recommend him and his office! "

- Marie Bakhos

" Joseph Buono thank you for making the selling process a lot smoother. You kept me informed from start to finish. Even when I didn't think things would work out, you helped me to remain hopeful. There were days when I was at my wits end. Yet you kept it professional and allowed me to vent my frustrations. When all was said and done you returned back to your problem solver mindset. Thank you for your hardwork. "

- Sharifa

" Excellent. Joseph and his staff are fair, honest, and very competent. I had not sold a house in almost 42 years, and Joe helped me through every step of the process. I have, and will continue to recommend him and his team to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a house. Less than a week after we put my house on the market we had two full price offers, one of which I accepted. "

- Jack Gifford

" Best experience. From the initial conversation till closing, Joe provided the best choices to make decisions. He was always there when you need him. During the COVID, I was little nervous to put the house on market. But with his help and nice advice, we could make it happen. "

- Arnab Chatterjee

" On a scale of one to ten, based on my experience working with Joe Buono to sell my house, I would rate him a ten. Let me tell you why. Joe Buono knows real estate. To better show my house Joe suggested decluttering and some capital improvements (not expensive). Every suggestion Joe made was 100% correct and I'm glad I listened to him. Joe Buono knows the market and priced my house accurately and it sold quickly and at a good price. Joe never leaves you on your own, he is always by your side throughout the process. Joe located workers from electricians to cleaning people needed to get my house in condition to sell. Joe recommended an attorney and contacted him on my behalf. Joe guided me thru the permitting process, sending me partially filled out forms essentially needing my signature. The road from listing to sold is stressful with a million details to take care of. I am very grateful that I had Joe Buono next to me on the journey, he did a lot to reduce the stress and helped immensely with all the details. This is why I enthusiastically recommend Joe Buono to anyone looking for a realtor. "
