CENTURY 21 Preferred & Property Management

We want to thank Cristina Bastos for all her help in buying our new home. Her marketing strategies, negotiation skills, and attention to detail made the entire process so easy. We are extremely happy we to have chosen her as our realtor. We will definitely work with her again on our future purchases. We highly recommend anyone seeking her out if you are on the market for a new home.

The initial consultation and work was fine. However, the failure of the Realtor/Broker D. Rivera to clearly advise that there was dual representation and that their were conflicting/competing interests nearly led to litigation. I truly felt as if the Realtor/Broker failed to be fair or fairly represent my interests. This was compounded by the failure to have clear communication with all involved. That is not a good sign when you are dealing with what is usually the largest transaction in a person's life.

I am so unhappy with selling my property with Century 21 Preferred Realty In Union NJ and have worked with Marina as a realtor. She failed to mention that she was a dual agent handling all communication between both parties (Buyer and Seller). After having my suspicions and realized she was a dual agent it was on the day of closing my house. So it was too late to withdraw. She was very biased representing the ideas of only the buyer. Marina told me that my house was worth $100.00 less just because I refused to do repairs requested by the buyer. Marina was only negotiating terms on behalf of the buyer only. I was left alone, fighting to sell my house for a decent price. She lied to us on many occasions. Some other realtor could have sold my house for the right price if I had a realtor who I could trust to negotiate terms. I was forced at the end to do repairs after placing in writing due to manipulation. Replying to your post. This company are a bunch of thieves. I had to fight to sell my property at a decent price by myself. The agent Marina kept pushing to give away my furniture to the buyers for free and to make changes of the property after putting in writing several times that the property was to be sold as is. Your “so called” stellar agent called Marina was sending pictures of other houses to me under $300.000 so I can accept an under value price offer below $450.000. I had to argue with her every single day. She never once did any work, she put a lock in front of the doors for potential buyers to come view the property and was never on sight during all the visits. I don’t know where you got all the numbers you stated especially that $467.000, all these are false statements. I would advise anyone you potentially want to sell their homes to stay far away from this company especially that agent Marina, she is a snake.

Jennifer Da Silva was our agent. She was one of the most diligent and hardworking agents I have ever worked with. She simplified the process, all while answering texts and emails all time of the day and night. She was never frustrated with the constant barrage of repetitive questions. While on vacation she kept in touch making sure all went according to plan. If you want top dollar for your property? Look no further…

Julia was amazing through the whole process of buying my first home!!! great response times and very organized. 10/10 would use her again!!!
