Sylvia was great to work with. Although we only got to work with her for a short time (we were lucky to find our home soon after meeting Silvia , she was great to work with and made purchasing a home easy. She was there every step of the way and able to link us up with with great professionals in the area for things like inspections and other things we needed. I can’t recommend her enough!

When we started working with Silvia, she was just about to head out on an extended vacation but referred us to her professional partner. Her partner was wonderful with helping us choose houses to view and setting up appointments for us to visit the houses. She also helped us submit an offer on a house and get the inspection done. Once Silvia returned from her trip, she helped us finish the process of purchasing our new home. This was our first home-buying experience, so my husband and I had a lot of questions and anxiety, but Silvia and her partner were patient and reassuring and helped us work out the complicated process.

Since buying our house 2 years ago, Silvia continues to be of assistance to us whenever we need a recommendation for a contractor. She also sends us useful monthly newsletters and occasionally stops by just to see how we are doing. She is a very warm and friendly person!

Silvia is amazing. She was there for us whenever we needed her during our search for a new home. What I appreciated the most, however, is that she is very honest. She never made us feel any sort of pressure and would give her honest opinion of the homes we viewed. Buying a home is a huge life decision and Silvia was so understanding and patient. I cannot say enough positive things about her.

Silvia sold my house in 1 day for 15K more than the asking price. What else is there to say? Her attention to detail and knowledge of the entire process was awesome.

Silvia was our real estate agent when we bought our home last summer (2017). She was invaluable during this fickle purchase. She was readily available and she identified and steered us safely through several major issues, including the last minute addition of a new septic tank. To our satisfaction, she kept the deal moving ahead when it stalled several times. We believe that if we had an ordinary realtor the deal would have fallen through, and we wouldn't be living in the beautiful old home that we're in right now. Thanks Sylvia!

Silvia did a wonderful job selling my parents home. She was kind and attentive and very efficient. She had to communicate with multiple family members and was very patient with us all :). Silvia is someone who relies on relationships to grow her business and it shows. She always got back to us in a timely manner and answered any questions we had. Even when she was traveling, she had a colleague cover for her. Shout out to Margret Roberts who was Silvia's helpful stand-in during those times. I would highly recommend Silvia and look forward to using her services again.

Silvia was wonderful to work with. She is so knowledgeable about the housing industry. She knew exactly what our home was worth and sold our home within the first 5 days of listing! She was always in contact giving us the latest updates and kept us informed on what to expect. Silvia is an excellent realtor and we highly recommend her!

Silvia is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, and all of the details that go into selling and buying a home. I have used her twice in the past 10 years and both times I was more than satisfied. I would highly recommend her services.

I rarely give five star ratings, but in Silvia's case they are well earned and justified. From the beginning of the process of finding my new home until closing Silvia was at my side. She took the time to get to know me and learn, better than I knew, what I was looking for in a house. She then worked her magic and found potential homes that fit my criteria. I could call her at virtually any hour of the day, or send a text, and she would respond promptly. Once we settled on a home she helped negotiate the price, recommended an excellent home inspector, and worked with me to the very end of the process to make sure nothing was wrong. If you are looking for a home in the Rochester area, and want the best possible realtor, call Silvia

Silvia was incredible. She made the experience of selling my home less stressful. She walked me through the process and then stayed on top of things without being intrusive or pushy. She was very available and supportive. She is an expert in the field and it shows. Most important in my book, she is trustworthy. I never had to question anything she told me. I felt safe in her hands. She even helped me to find a new real estate agent where I was moving to!

Silvia represented me in both purchase of my new home and sale of my home. She never lost patience and worked with me to help me find my dream home. I knew what I was looking for and was not willing to settle. Silvia spent time to understand what I was looking for and worked with me to find that special home. It took nearly a year of looking, but she found just the mid-century contemporary I was looking for. She kept the process moving smoothly even while on vacation and made the transition as smooth as possible. She was always available and quick to take care of the smallest detail or request.
Regarding the sale, she helped me prepare and stage my home with helpful suggestions that really helped facilitate a quick sale once we had my new home purchase in process. She is a true professional who followed through on every detail to make the process go smoothly.
I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. The whole process of buying or selling will go smoothly if you have her on your side through the sale process.

We have known Silvia for many years since she helped us buy our house in 2005 in Brighton, prior to which she helped my brother buy his house also in Brighton. She was definitely instrumental in getting us our first house since there were other buyers and competition was high during the first day of showing. Silvia's negotiation expertise and great client service management carried the day and we got the house that we really wanted!

In 2016 when it came to moving to Charlotte, NC, and we decide to sell, Silvia was the only choice!. Although it was late in the season when she put the house up for sale in mid July, her market knowledge and skills carried the day again:-), we accepted an offer in early October.

Silvia will be the first to know if we decide to move back to Rochester:-)
Thanks for your friendship and all the hard work Silvia!!

Sylvia was the real estate agent we used to sell our home years ago. She was fantastic then and we were thrilled to be able to purchase a home with her recently. We always felt like she had our best interest at heart. I would recommend Sylvia to anyone that is looking to buy or sell!

It is not possible to put into words how amazing Silvia is as a person or as a realtor, but I will try my best.

A family member referred Silvia to my wife and I around Nov. 2015. We were living in California and wanted to move back to Rochester. We told Silvia we were looking for a new build - less than a week later Silvia sent me dropbox folders for five new subdivisions. Each folder contained a spec list, videos of her walking/driving through each area, and a detailed Word doc outlining the pros and cons of each subdivision. Silvia's presentation of the material was amazing and incredibly detailed. After a few more conversations, my wife and I felt confident in reserving a lot with a local builder.

Not wanting to buy sight unseen, however, we agreed to fly out and see the subdivision in person. Loving what we saw, we signed the contract with the builder shortly thereafter. After signing, the builder gave us a list of subcontractors we should meet before we leave. Even though she didn't have to, Silvia accompanied us to each sub to ensure we maximized our short time in the area. Her amazing taste and calm demeanor were invaluable during that time and prevented my wife and I from feeling totally overwhelmed by the process.

Over the next 6 months of the build, Silvia was there to listen and counsel when things got difficult or stressful. Knowing she was in our corner was always amazing and felt like we had a secret weapon or an ace up our sleeve. Using her 28+ years of experience and connections in the area, Silvia always ensured that we came out on top.

Looking back over the last nine months, my wife and I feel blessed Silvia has been our realtor throughout the whole home buying process. Silvia is a credit to her profession and an amazing person. Our success is a testament to her tenacity and excellence and we truly feel we could not have bought our home without her.

We 100% endorse Silvia and will be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Silvia is a seasoned, knowledgeable realtor. Faced with a property in an extreme state of distress (from a pair of horrible renters thate were evicted), she managed a complete and rapid turn around of the property, listing and selling it in remarkable time. We were struggling to pay the mortgage on a property that had been rendered uninhabitable until Silvia showed up at our door. She is exceptional.

With the help of Silvia, I was able to sell my single family house during the non-peak season. I was worried the property would not be sold and she reassured me with her confidence and experience. She was willing to answer my questions without hesitation, since this was my first home bought and now first home sold. She made the process pretty seamless, I did not have to worry about the next step since she kept me up-to-date. Silvia was a pleasure to work with and she provides great hospitality for clients.

Silvia is sweat as honey :). She is very responsive and has all the right connections when you run into the unexpected. For my situation Silvia was able to put me in touch with a firm that was able to perform an elevation certificate as well as get the eLOMA completed in less than two weeks.

My husband and I moved to the Rochester area from the west coast, and Silvia made our relocation process exceptionally smooth. We decided to work with Silvia for her great references on Zillow, and we are so glad we did. It was one of the best decisions that we made in our life! Silvia has almost 30 years of experiences and is very knowledgeable not only about the area but also about all the small details about house conditions and real estate transactions that people woun't normally know unless they have lived in the area for a long time PLUS unless they have handled real estate transactions of various homes more than a couple of decades. Moving from the west (California), my husband and I were not sure what additionak things to check when viewing homes here besides what we do in California - for example, dehumidifiers, sump pumps, roof tear off, various materials that people from California are not familiar...etc. I'm sure that compared to her other customers, we probably had way more questions about too many basics that locals would've known already, but Silvia always answered every single question very clearly with additional details. Her answers were always very thorough and prompt. When we were viewing multiple homes, she always pointed out all the details that we should take a look from tiny water marks on ceilings to all kinds of conditions of basements. She always commented on both positive and negative aspects of every home and was very honest about her opinions. She also pointed out things to consider for resale value even when all other conditions seemed perfect. For example, if the road noise was too loud or if the location was too remote ...etc.

As we were ready to make offers, she gave us the best advice each time we made offers. BTW, she never rushed us to make offers unless it was really necessary - e.g., when she knew the property is in such good conditions and is priced right that it will be taken by other buyers very soon. When other buyers made offers to the same property, she knew exactly how competitive it would be and suggested the appropriate range. At first, we didn't follow her advice even though she repeatedly reminded us how competitive the bid was, so we lost the bid. At our second offer, we followed her advice and got our offer accepted. Silvia worked closely with the seller's agent very hard and made it work!

We traveled to the area only twice and had only two or three days to see the homes, but she arranged our tours so efficiently and was always willing to spend extra time to show us more. In between and after the trips, she frequently followed up on new listings and our entire transaction so professionally. Wherever we were, she handled our inquiries so promptly in a very clear manner.

Both my husband and I STRONGLY recommend Silvia to anyone. She is exceptionally professional, honest, dedicated, and smart with great expertise, and we have never met any real estate professional who is as good as her. If you get to work with her, make sure you just follow her advice and you'll get a home you want. We truly enjoyed working with Silvia and appreciate all her work!!

Silvia was great through the whole process. She explained everything in detail (and we had a lot of questions!) she also listened to our likes and dislikes and worked very hard to find us the perfect house! I would recommend her to anyone. :)

Silvia came highly recommended from colleagues of ours. We had some specific needs and wants, looked at a lot of houses and Silvia was there the whole way. She was in it for the long-haul and we sold one house to find our perfect second home. We couldn't have done it without Silvia, we would recommend her to our closest friends and family.

We cannot recommend Silvia Deutsch highly enough. During the process of buying a house in Rochester from out of state, she has been extremely easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. My husband and I feel Silvia had our best interests at heart and because our house hunting was accomplished during a very aggressive spring market, she accommodated many last minute requests and ideas for possible viewings with enthusiasm and good humor.
We are very, very pleased with our new house and especially happy with the negotiation of a further reduction in price!
Silvia was referred to us by a satisfied client and we are more than pleased with our experience.
