"Using the "Flat Fee MLS" service with Northern Star Realty worked out really great for us. Bob was very helpful through out the process. Our house sold within 4 days of the listing date! There are no hidden fees and everything is explained on the web site. We were able to save a lot of money and I would highly recommend using his services."

Dale S., Brockport, NY 5/10

I have just concluded the sale of my property with Northern Star Realty and Bob Piazza. I could not have been more pleased. The property sold quickly and at a very good price. All the forms and information I needed for a successful listing were provided for me. Bob provided tons of support and helpful tips along the way. I never felt I was "in it alone". Any questions or concerns I had were answered quickly and professionally. I would recommend Northern Star Realty and Bob Piazza to anyone.

Sincerely,
Barr M., Kendall, NY 6/10

Making the decision to sell by owner was easy, but the process is not! I never could have gone through it successfully without Bob's help. Using Bob as my "real estate consultant" turned out to be a great decision. He was extremely responsive, supportive and very knowledgeable. His advice and service was priceless to me. Not only did he assist me with the mechanics of selling my house, but also was there to provide guidance when I got my offer and walk me through all of the different steps. If you are looking for a partner in selling your home-- I highly recommend Bob Piazza & Northern Star Realty!

Thanks again for everything.

We saved over $9,000 and sold our house in less than a month! We would definitely recommend selling a house using this method!
Rick D., Webster, NY 12/10

Although I saved money using Northern Star Realty, equally as notable is the level of service Bob Piazza provided throughout the listing and sale of my property. Bob is accessible, knowledgeable, and honest. He provided me with a CMA and all paperwork required to list the property immediately upon signing up for the service. All emails and phone calls were quickly answered/returned. I was able to sell the property within a few weeks of listing it. Thanks Bob!

Brian B., Hilton, NY 12/10

"Bob Piazza at Northern Star Realty provided outstanding service in assisting us with the sale of our home. He always responded very quickly to our questions and provided professional advice from determining our asking price to reviewing our first offer, which came the first day the house was listed on the MLS."

Peter & Karen, Webster, NY 4/11

We are so glad to have found the Flat Fee MLS program offered by Northern Star Realty! Bob Piazza is fantastic to work with!

Victor, NY 4/11

After retaining a well known real estate company in the Rochester area to sell my home during the summer of 2010 and experiencing less than impressive results, I decided to use the services of Northern Star Realty through Bob Piazza. Not only does Bob make it an easy process to list your property, he's accessible every step of the way to address virtually any & every situation one may encounter while selling their home. Bob simply provides you all the tools you need and in my case, I saved almost $10,000.00 in the process. An absolute "no brainer".

Chris F.
Fairport, NY 4/11

Using Bob Piazza and Northern Star Realty to list my home on the MLS was the best money spent. Within days of being listed I was receiving calls from people interested in viewing my home. Bob was always following up and making sure things were on track. The next home I sell will definitely be listed through Bob. Thanks a million.

Rob T.
Clarkson, NY 4/11

We were very pleased with the service from Northern Star Realty. Bob Piazza always had quick responses and was very knowledgeable. There are no extra fees and all of the forms necessary for the sale are provided. We already have and continue to recommend his service to others looking to sell their houses. Thanks for everything.

"I would recommend Bob Piazza at Northern Star Realty to anyone. His site was very comprehensive and he over delivered on every account. Bob's experience and hard work really shine through and because of that selling our home was quick and easy. We appreciate him and his services greatly and would without a doubt use him again and again. Thank you Bob!"

Penfield, NY 5/11

I’m so glad that I found a local realtor with a Flat Fee MLS program. I was hesitant to use a large out of town/area Flat Fee service, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the level of service provided by Bob Piazza at Northern Star Realty! Phone calls and emails were always answered or promptly returned by Bob himself and not a staff member. If you want control over the sale of your property, but need guidance from an experienced realtor, contact Bob at Northern Star Realty and you won’t be disappointed!

Paul L., Victor 5/11

Hiring Northern Star Realty was the best decision we made in selling our home. Bob was reliable, efficient, and thorough. Our home sold within one day of listing and Bob helped us every step of the way. We saved a lot of money and headaches in the process. We would most highly recommend Northern Star Realty.

Peter and Siobhain K., West Irondequoit 7/11

We have already recommended Bob Piazza, Northern Star Realty to friends and business associates. Bob provided superior support to the sale of our home. Bob worked patiently and efficiently with us to get our home online and sold timely. We received a good offer the first week we listed with Bob. Bob consulted us thru the buyer’s process and was always available for questions or assistance.

Tom B, Ontario NY 7/11

We called Northern Star Realty after listing with local real estate and not meeting success. Bob spent a good deal of time explaining how we should go about selling our house on our own. After receiving an offer Bob welcomed our questions about the appropriate procedures to follow and put the deal together. He is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of this business and willing to share this expertise with his clients. I would recommend his service highly to anyone interested in listing and selling their home. Thanks again for your help.

Bill/Renee M., Baldwinsville, NY 8/11

We listed our home for sale this past February. In hopes of saving 3% of the total sale price, we used the flat fee MLS program offered by Northern Star Realty. The price was extremely competitive and met our needs. Having not sold a home before without a realtor, we were a bit anxious. Bob Piazza counseled us throughout the process. He answered emails promptly (we had many questions along the way) and reviewed the contract for us, which we received 2 months later. We are very grateful for his expertise and kindness.

Amy and John H., Webster, NY 8/11

I recently sold my mother-in-laws condo in Webster and used Northern Star Realty to list on MLS. Couldn’t have been easier! I provided the pictures and copy, and Bob did the rest. He was very helpful on suggested selling price, as well as follow-ups during the entire process. His web site also has the portfolio of forms for buyer and seller to download, that was very straight forward. Great job Bob! I would use him again in a heartbeat. I’ve already got one of my friends using his service.

Rich C., Webster, NY 8/11

"We wanted to sell our house ourselves but were worried we wouldn't do the process right and it would sit on the market longer than it should. When we found Northern Star Realty's website however, we felt confident about doing it ourselves. Bob's program offers way more services than other sites and he's a local agent. Bob answered his phone every time we called and gave us answers to all of our questions. It was a very pleasant experience. We had a buyer after our second open house and saved about $3,700 selling ourselves. We'll definitely do it again and will certainly recommend Bob Piazza and Northern Star Realty's Flat Fee MLS listing program to others."

Tracy S., Chili, NY 8/11

Bob, thank you for your flat rate MLS service. I just closed on my first house using it. It works well and as a contractor / flipper, it helps to enhance the profit margins. Also, thanks for doing the Comparative Market Analysis for me. Hopefully they will help me buy more properties right so I can rehab and list them with you too. Thanks again.

Fred C., Sodus, NY 10/11

Northern Star Realty was a perfect solution for me to save money, selling my home. Bob helped me with any questions I had during my listing as well as providing me with all the forms required to complete the sale. Anytime I had a question, he promptly replied. I saved $4,700 using Northern Star Realty. I highly recommend using Northern Star Realty for your Real Estate sales needs.

Joe B, Greece, NY 10/11

I chose Northern Star Realty to see if I could sell my home myself. Bob performed a broker price opinion and determined what my home was worth . I Listed my home with him and sold it in 3 days. I saved $3,300. He was very helpful , very organized, and everything worked out great! Thanks Bob!

Annie Z., Chili, NY 10/11

I used Northern Star Realty's flat fee MLS program to acquire an MLS to get more sale exposure for my home. The program got my home on the major realtor websites and it definitely resulted in more exposure than the flyers I was putting up at work, craigslist and all of the other "for sale by owner" websites. I was surprised by how much it helped, I really think it is the best way to go if someone is going to sell a house without a realtor. An added bonus was being able to ask Bob Piazza questions whenever something unexpected popped up. This was the first time I ever sold a home and Bob of Northern Star Realty was a tremendous help. My expectations were exceeded and went far beyond what I expected from this flat fee program. I would recommend this to any of my friends or family. I really needed to get all I could out of my home sale and I was lucky to have found Northern Star Realty to make that happen.

Joe F., Rochester, NY 11/11

I recently closed on my house using Northern Star Realty. Bob was very helpful and had quick responses to my e-mails. I am very pleased with the process and its simplicity. I saved thousands taking this route and will not think twice about using Northern Star Realty again.

Diane H., Webster, NY 11/11

Bob,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Northern Star Realty, for the excellent service that you provided us in selling our home. The listing on the MLS really gave us the exposure needed when trying to sell ourselves. We have and we will continue to recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling their home themselves. For the small fee, it is well worth the services provided. Once again, thank you.

Mike and Jinny G., Greece, NY 11/11

Using the Flat Fee MLS Program with Northern Star Realty worked great for us! Bob made setting up our listing fast & easy and was always available should we have a question or need assistance. Bob made the whole process very simple and the results speak for themselves. The home is sold!! Thanks for everything, Bob!

Terri & Chuck, Sodus, NY 11/11

This is the second time I've used Northern Star Realty's flat fee MLS program. Just like the first time, it was a piece of cake. Bob is always there to answer calls and emails. He checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well with the listing and sale. This time around, the buyer called after seeing the sign in the front yard of my property. I subsequently sold the property to this buyer. This means there was no buyer's agent! A SAVINGS OF OVER $7400.00!!! AWESOME!!!

Brian B., Greece, NY 12/11

I decided to sell some land on my own, no realtor. I knew in order to reach more possible buyers I would need to list through the Realtors MLS. After researching the many choices on the Web, I decided to go with Bob Piazza at Northern Star Realty. What a smart choice that was. Bob was extremely easy to work with. He was also very helpful. He was always very attentive to my needs, updating my listing whenever I wanted. I have since sold my land ! If I decide to do this again, Bob will be the one I call. Thanks again Bob for all you did.

Kyle P., Scottsville, NY. 2/12

Bob,

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you for your assistance in selling my home. From the moment we signed the listing contract I encountered the highest professionalism, care, ehthusiam and passion in you and your site. Your suggestions, advice, and practical sense is exactly what I was looking for from your program. My home sold at a reasonable price in spite of the depressing economy. I would like to thank you and will definitely recommend you highly to my friends and family members. You may use my name and reference to any of your future clients.

Regards,

Anthony and Joanne V., Penfield, NY 2/12

Bob,
The closing was yesterday. Thank you so much for all your help & great advice! I have strongly recommended you to a couple of my friends who are thinking of selling, & will continue to do so.

With much gratitude,

Bob,

Listing my home on the MLS with your service was one of the best decisions I have made in a while! The service, your support, and the resources made available to me saved me thousands – and most importantly SOLD MY HOME! Thanks so Much and plan to work with you in the future.

Lance M., Pittsford, NY 4/12

Bob thanks for your help. We found it very easy to get the MLS listing with Northern Star when we decided to sell our house on our own. It worked out well, scheduling and showing the house at our convenience. The house was listed for 6 weeks before it sold.

Steve C., Hilton, NY 4/12

For those with the common sense to realize they can sell their own property, the flat rate MLS service from Northern Star Realty is a great value. It saved us thousands on our sale, and I would not hesitate to use this service again in the future. You get exactly what is advertised, and Bob is helpful and encouraging throughout the process.
