TESTIMONIALS

“I am writing this letter to describe the wonderful experience we had working with Jacques Ambron of Madeleine Realty. We were in a situation where we had to sell property from several states away so we asked a friend in New York if he knew of a good real estate broker. Our friend told us of Madeleine Realty. He said they helped another friend of his find a new home and it was a good experience. We decided to contact and met Jacques on one of our visits to the property in New York. It was a true blessing. We were immediately impressed. Jacques had done the research regarding comparables (comps) in the area and made certain we had that information before our meeting. He helped us set a reasonable selling price and guided us through the entire process of selling the property He executed a plan that had us in contract within a few weeks! The final sales price was exactly our asking price which is truly amazing in this present economy.

“We were very fortunate to have Jacques help us with the sale of our house. His professionalism, knowledge and expertise are top notch. He was willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the property was secure during several storms in New York City.
