Testimonials

I first met Alana about 5 years ago-she was the seller's agent for the condo I purchased. So, when the time came for me to then turn around and sell that condo, I remembered Alana. She is a true professional from start to finish-from determining the pricing through the detailed property comparison on other condos in the area, to her diligence in scheduling showings, to keeping up to date with newly-listed properties,evaluating the recent property sales,analyzing the offers I received, and quiding me through the road to the closing. She is a pleasure to work with and I valued her opinion and support throughout the entire sale process. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Stephen and I wanted to say thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication in assisting us in purchasing our first home. Recently, we had our first house warming with our friends and family. Many people asked us "Who was your Realtor?" and we excitedly told them, "Suburban Homes and Condos!!" Alana, your gentle and confident style made us feel relaxed and continually reassured throughout the (at times) stressful process. We smile every time we think about being in your office reviewing the final paperwork, and your Mom, Mary Lou, knocking on the door to say Congratulations" to both of us. We have referred our friends and family to you because there is "no one better than Alana and Mary Lou!!" We are so happy that we chose Suburban Homes and Condos!! Many Thanks.

I am sure you have heard the phrase "leave the driving to us. When you work with Alana of Suburban Homes and Condos you will leave the selling completely to her. She was professional, efficient and took charge from our first encounter with her. Alana was a delight to work with and we have since recommended her services to others!

Buying a house can be a very stressful and complicated process. We have used Alana as our REALTOR for our two home purchases. Honestly, we would not use anyone else. Alana is very knowledgable in her field. She is great at reading a situation and approaching it with grace. She is a strong business woman who we respect. She pays attention to detail and is extremely reliable. We can say this sincerely after working with her nine months with our first purchase and four months with our second purchase. We would highly recommend Alana to anyone.

We are grateful to Alana for a good real-estate experience. Her attention to detail and great communication skills helped tremendously. She was extremely professional and always made us feel like we were a priority. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home in the Hartford area.

Buying our first place was quite an experience, nothing of which we have had before. It was both exciting yet very scary. It was also quite a roller coaster ride. We probably would not have seen it through, had it not been for Alana. Alana Galvin, from Suburban Homes and Condos made it all happen.

When we came to Alana, we were both excited, yet hesitant. It was a major step for us, as it is for many people. Alana showed us many condos, based on what we told her we were looking for. It didn't take her long to find exactly what we wanted.

When our bid was accepted, the fun began. It meant shopping for furniture and all of the other things that we would need for our new home. There was a time, when shopping for the couches when we couldn't agree on what the carpet color was, so...call Alana. She probably thought we were out of our minds. There were many other questions that came up that we were unsure of the correct answers, so...call Alana. "What do you think?" or "What would you do?" were questions often asked of her. We had never felt so completely at ease and comfortable with someone over such a short period of time and felt that we could completely trust her judgement. She knew we were in unfamiliar territory in buying our first place and went above and beyond to lead us in the right direction.

When it all finally looked like it was coming together, we hit some big bumps in the road, financially. Two or three times it looked like we had to walk away from the place that we so much wanted to call home. There were repeated phone calls back and forth that put us at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It was a roller coaster ride that was almost not fun anymore. Alana would not let up. She pursued every avenue for us. It was almost like it was meant to be, but at the same time, her work and dedication is what brought us the keys to our new condo.

There may be plenty of great stories out there about how homes are bought and sold, but ours, we will never forget. Never in our wildest dreams did we know what we were in for the day we walked into her office, but we are so glad we did.

I have had the privilege of working with Alana on three occasions. She makes purchasing or selling a home virtually stress free. Alana has always made me feel like I was her first priority no matter how busy she was. I have, and would reccommend her real estate experience and knowledge to anyone looking to change his or her residency. She truly takes something as scary and stressful as making a life long purchase a walk in the park.

As first time home buyers, my wife Joyce Ann and I were able to purchase with confidence thanks to Alana Galvin of Suburban Homes and Condos. Alana's professionalism and ability to take on our interests as her own allowed us to make great decisions throughout the buying process. With Alana on our side, we were able to obtain all of our needs within our first real estate investment and everthing we wanted in our first home.
