Maria Giardina was a great find for my family, as we asked her to sell our house of 31 years. Maria came in and developed a strategy and delivered. In every aspect of the sale, Maria was available by text, or phone, to answer questions about the process. A real professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about buying and selling homes on Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.

What does a buyer's agent do, and is it free?

A buyer's agent represents your interests throughout the home purchase. I help you find properties, negotiate offers, navigate inspections, and guide you through closing. In most cases on Long Island and in NYC, the seller pays the buyer's agent commission, so my services come at no direct cost to you.

How long does it take to buy a home on Long Island?

The typical timeline from first search to closing on Long Island is 3 to 6 months. Once you have an accepted offer, closing usually takes 60 to 90 days in Nassau and Suffolk County due to attorney review, inspections, and mortgage processing. Being pre-approved speeds things up significantly.

How do I know what my home is worth?

I provide a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that looks at recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood, current market conditions, and your home's unique features. This gives you an accurate, data-driven estimate. Contact me anytime for a no-obligation CMA.

What are closing costs in New York, and how much should I expect?

In New York, buyers typically pay 2% to 5% of the purchase price in closing costs, which include attorney fees, title insurance, mortgage recording tax, and lender fees. Sellers usually pay 8% to 10% including broker commissions, transfer taxes, and attorney fees. I walk every client through these numbers upfront so there are no surprises.

Do I need a real estate attorney in New York?

Yes. New York is an attorney state, meaning both the buyer and seller should have their own real estate attorney to review contracts, handle title searches, and manage the closing process. I work with trusted attorneys on Long Island and in NYC and can recommend one if you need a referral.

What is probate real estate, and can you help with inherited properties?

Probate real estate involves selling a property that was left behind after someone passes away. As a probate specialist, I guide families through the process of preparing, listing, and selling inherited homes in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. I handle the complexities so you can focus on your family.

What neighborhoods do you serve?

I serve all of Long Island including Massapequa, Massapequa Park, Levittown, Wantagh, Seaford, Farmingdale, Bethpage, East Meadow, Plainview, Huntington, Bay Shore, Lindenhurst, and Garden City in Nassau and Suffolk County. I also work throughout Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx in New York City. Wherever you are buying or selling, I can help.

How should I prepare my home before listing it for sale?

Start with decluttering, deep cleaning, and making minor repairs. Fresh paint, updated fixtures, and professional staging can significantly increase your sale price. I provide a customized pre-listing checklist for every seller and connect you with trusted contractors, stagers, and photographers to get your home market-ready.

Is now a good time to buy or sell on Long Island?

Market conditions change constantly, and what matters most is your personal situation. I track local market data weekly across Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, and Brooklyn and can give you an honest, up-to-date assessment of whether the timing works for your goals.
