About Maureen Skrilow

"With Maureen Skrilow's professional and experienced guidance, we recently purchased a new home in Rye Brook, New York. At the time, it was a very hot market for sellers, not so great for buyers. With her tireless efforts, what could have been a very stressful and lengthy process, resulted in an exceedingly quick, pleasant and successful experience. We couldn't be more thrilled.

Maureen started the process by pinpointing our needs, acutely communicating the realities of the current market and seamlessly balancing the two, resulting in our dream home. Maureen?s uplifting personality and honesty along with her love and dedication to her work blended together perfectly to make her a pleasure to work with.

In our specific situation, we were faced with a bidding war. Maureen knew the seller professionally? she was also a real estate broker whom Maureen had worked with in prior deals. I am certain that Maureen?s stellar, long-standing reputation in the field added trust and confidence to the process and made the difference in the final negotiations which resulted in the acceptance of our offer.

Even after the deal closed, Maureen has continued her efforts to help us make our house a home. She has been an endless source of top-notch contractors, design ideas and local haunts. I highly recommend Maureen Skrilow to find your next home. We couldn't have done it without her."
Ellen Lewis (Rye Brook)

"I can't say enough positive things about Maureen Skrilow. She was our realtor when selling our home as well as buying a new one. She demonstrated a solid understanding of the differences of both processes and how to switch hats. She is extremely organized, thorough and the penultimate professional. Maureen is an incredible source of information and always takes the additional step to find an answer if unsure. Finally, I believe that her ability to declutter and stage our home helped secure an offer that far exceeded our expectations. There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for her hard work and diligence."
Nancy Karagis (Larchmont)

"Thank you so much for all of your help through this process Maureen. As always, you have been patient, thoughtful, reliable, and resourceful. We know you have gone above and beyond to make sure that my parents will be happy in their new home. My parents and I really appreciate all your help! ...and thanks again for the gifts, as well as the contact info. My parents move into their new home tomorrow morning!"
Dr. Ed Libfeld (White Plains)

"Maureen was so helpful in finding our perfect home. She understood our top priorities for what we were looking for and showed us homes that reflected that. She was timely and available to answer questions that came up, even after our house visits - and she has a wealth of resources and connections that were helpful in all parts of the process. We really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house - especially as a first time buyer!"
Sarah Bernstein (Rye Brook)

"Maureen is such a high class professional that, throughout the whole process of buying a house, we kept asking ourselves ?how were we so lucky to have found her??
She worked with us tirelessly and consistently, got to understand what we were looking for, and supported us in our low moments of doubt that we would ever find something. We were able to see every house we were interested in, because she arranged viewings that worked with our schedules (this was not always easy -- we were not based locally and we were only available on weekends). She pointed out aspects that we would have never considered while giving us space to process and eventually reach our own conclusions. She also helped us connect to real estate lawyers, contractors, etc. while remaining easy to reach, responsive, friendly, and funny.
I sincerely hope that this review will bring her more clients because she deserves it. I have no doubts that it will be a good experience for her future clients, too."
Florin Mateoc (Dobbs Ferry)

"My husband and I initially met Maureen when we first moved to Westchester County in 2016. Maureen represented us in the purchase of our first home here. The process was different than in any other place we lived before, but Maureen made herself available for any question or concern we had. One of the things that impressed us about Maureen is the local knowledge she had about the towns in Westchester. She asked us a lot of questions about what we were looking for, not just in a home, but in a community as well. She delivered her knowledge in a straight forward manner. She also personally went above and beyond the role of a realtor to connect us in the community we ultimately chose and stayed in touch over the years as a friend. Recently, we decided to downsize and we called Maureen to discuss the market conditions. We wanted to know what we had to do to get top dollar for our home. Maureen was honest and clear about the steps we needed to take and the money we would need to invest to make it happen. We listened to her advice and made improvements to our home. She told us what we needed to declutter and wanted our home to reflect what people were looking for in today?s market. We took almost three months to make the improvements and our home was in contract ten days after listing it. We also turned to Maureen for buying a new home at a time when the inventory was low and the competition was fierce. Maureen was constantly on the lookout for us and contacted us immediately upon finding out that one of the homes we liked but had an accepted offer on unexpectedly came back on the market after the prospective buyer walked away. We submitted our offer, it was accepted and we signed the contract a few days later. Maureen is dependable and reliable. She will tell you like it is and treat you like a friend or family member throughout the process. We highly recommend Maureen as a realtor."
Kerry Kiery (Harrison)

"Maureen helped my wife and I buy our first home in 2014. With grace and poise she led us through a competitive market to an accepted offer. 7 years and 3 kids later, we learned we would be relocating to another state for work, and needed to sell our house in a hurry. Of course we turned to Maureen, who never faltered. She guided us calmly through the process of prepping our house for a sale in less than a week. Two weeks later, we had multiple offers over asking. WIth anyone else I'm certain the process would have been beyond stressful, but Maureen made it feel effortless, and for that we will be forever grateful. Although we are moving away, our hearts are here, and with Maureen. And should fate allow us to return one day, we know who our first call will be. Thank you for everything Maureen -- you have been an invaluable friend and ally in helping us make a home here, and preparing us for the next chapter of our lives. And to anyone considering Maureen for help with their home purchase or sale, I can say with full confidence that you will never regret it."
Clayton Neuman (Scarsdale)

"When my wife and I were shopping four years ago with a newborn baby, Maureen supported our search energetically and did not stop until we found a house that we were thrilled with. Then this year, when my parents-in-law were searching for a house, we of course turned to her again, with another positive outcome.

She is the utmost professional, researching houses thoroughly before showing them to us and always treating us like we were here #1 clients. And when it came to strategize how to make a successful offer in this competitive climate, she offered very thoughtful tactics that led to success. I also think that her reputation in the area was a key factor in our offers being successful.

All in all, she made a very stressful process a pleasure. I trust her 100% and am just so happy that she has been there for us twice.

"When we decided to sell our home, we couldn?t have asked for or picked a better real estate agent than Maureen Skrilow! Maureen exceeded our expectations in every way. Her attention to detail, prompt responses, professionalism, representation, contract negotiation skills and knowledge of the real estate market made our home-selling process seamless from start to finish. Maureen helped us every step of the way?from pricing our home accordingly, to helping stage our home to highlight its best features, to closing the deal in 12 days from listing to contract. Maureen made sure to market our home effectively in both print and digital form, and made sure the pictures taken were amazing. As a result of her expertise, our house received maximum exposure and led to multiple offers. We couldn?t be any happier and wholeheartedly recommend Maureen to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
Anita and Bill Gougherty (Harrison)

"Three weeks from listing to contract! Maureen Skrilow made all the difference in expediting the sale of our home in Harrison. We were motivated sellers, having just purchased another home out of state that we would be closing on soon when we called Maureen in. Maureen created an aggressive timetable to bring our Harrison home to the market and then helped us meet it. From recommending that we stage the house, to introducing us to a crackerjack team with an incredible stylistic eye to do the work virtually overnight; analyzing the competitive market environment to recommend pricing and then creating awesome marketing materials ? Maureen did it all.

We knew from other friends that Maureen had a track record of quick sales and highly satisfied sellers. We are so happy that our home and names can be added to that list."
Betsy Bernstein (Harrison, NY)

"The real estate industry quite often has a poor and untrustworthy reputation (and many times, rightfully so); however, our agent Maureen always rose above the underhanded tactics, while still managing to deliver exactly what we wanted. Maureen possesses the, often overlooked and under-appreciated skill, of finding and bringing out the best in people no matter how stressful the situation. Most importantly, she actually cares about her clients; which becomes evident when something does not exactly go as planned. My wife and I will use Maureen again, and of course, would recommend her to anyone who wants to close a deal while avoiding the headaches of home buying."
Charles Kirkner (Manhattan)

"Maureen was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the schools, and was able to show us a wide variety of homes that laid out the trade-offs between different towns and types of homes. She was also very helpful in thinking about potential renovations from both a day-to-day living and a return-on-investment perspective. Finally, Maureen was just a great person to work with that really cared about us and making sure we found a house that fit us perfectly."
Mike Smeets (Larchmont)

"Maureen Skilow is the consummate professional. She advised us in the final states of renovation, preparation and staging our home for best market impact. Her marketing expertise is exceptional, and knowledge of local market and trends was spot-on and superb. without doubt, Maureen is the finest in the local business and we recommend her without reservation!"
Christine Novello

"Maureen did an outstanding job selling our home. Not only did she get the house sold in less than a week, the selling price was above our listing price. Her attention to details and willingness to go above and beyond made the experiance for me a breeze as a homeowner. She knew exactly how to stage each room and even provided display items where necessary. She also took the necessary steps to resolve an issue while I was on vacation. She's very friendly, honest, and a pressure to work with. I highly recommend her."
Diana Chang (Harrison, NY)

"Maureen was recommended by a friend and has provided us with terrific guidance for our house hunting experience. She is passionate about finding the right home based on our needs and works tirelessly in her search. Always responsive in a timely fashion and provides her honest opinion. Maureen also has an excellent network for all housing needs, from mortgage broker, legal counseling, and construction specialists. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a home and needs a trustworthy expert to guide their search process."

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Maureen on the sale of our home this past June. Maureen's longstanding ties to the community, depth of industry experience, and connections in the local real estate market were invaluable! From strategic pricing to expert staging, Maureen's advice was spot-on. We also greatly appreciated her responsiveness throughout the process, both with us and with multiple agents/buyers and lawyers through closing. We highly recommend Maureen and would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you again for all of your help Maureen!"
Meredith Blanding (Harrison)

"I actually met Maureen when she found my daughter?s beautiful home in Westchester just about a year ago. She is a true professional and an absolute joy to work with. I highly recommend working with Maureen as she really gets to know you as a person and your needs in your new home."
Roz Bernstein (Larchmont)

"I do not have enough words to adequately recommend Maureen Skrilow. My wife and I struggled for months to find a home in New York City. After going through several offers and nearly purchasing an apartment we didn’t really want, Maureen simply asked us to spend a day with her in Westchester. That very day, we found a house we were in love with that was a convenient commute to the city. Maureen was patient – she insisted we keep looking at a few more houses, and when we both realized nothing else would do, she made sure that we were the ones whose offer was finally accepted. (I’ll leave her trade-secret strategy for you to discover on your own.) <br /> <br />I had thought after a deal was accepted, that would be the end of an agent’s job. Boy, was I wrong. Maureen helped us through every step of the process, from getting the right insurance and mortgage to finding a lawyer to recommending handymen and painters. She even sacrificed her vacation, spending an entire week answering emails in a hotel lobby when there was a hiccup with our initial home inspection. <br /> <br />We would not be in our home without Maureen Skrilow. I’m convinced we wouldn’t even own a home without Maureen Skrilow. She is patient, understanding, extraordinarily knowledgeable and connected, and most important – someone you would consider a friend as well as a business partner. <br /> <br />Put simply: If you want to become a homeowner in Westchester, there is literally only one phone call you need to make."

"Maureen Skrilow is a true professional in the industry! She was communicative, and responsive to our needs. Maureen seemed to work 24/7 to get whatever needed to get done to sell our home (which sold within a week!) She was consistent in her level of service and we felt she was truly working for us, and kept our families best interest in mind. We are working with Maureen in the purchase of our new home because we were so impressed with her service. She is an asset to your organization. We have, and will continue to recommend her to our friends and family...in fact, we now consider her part of the family :)"

"Maureen is a great agent. She keeps in touch with all parties and works on resolving all issues in the buying process. She represented our interests in the deal masterfully and helped in all aspects with her actions or a helpful advise."

"We cannot say enough positive things about our agent, Maureen Skrilow. She went above and beyond in every way in helping us find our new home. She understood and anticipated our needs, answered our zillions of questions with the utmost patience and honesty and introduced us to her vast network for every one of our needs (inspector, attorney, banker, landscaper, contractor, architect, etc). We will use Maureen for every single real estate transaction we enter and will whole heartedly refer her to all our friends and family."
Anjali Thadani (Astoria, NY)

"I received personalized attention and never felt like I was "going it alone." Any issues that came up were effectively dealt with and it was mostly a smooth process."

"Maureen was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly reliable and always quick to respond to our questions and needs. She was very in-tune to what we were looking for and never pushed us into something she understood would make us unhappy. We truly felt that she always had out best interests in mind and we will certainly recommend her to our friends!"

"Our agent, Maureen, was fabulous to work with. She would always go the extra mile. I'd work with her again anytime."
Barbara Ward (Larchmont, NY)

"In smooth transactions the agent hardly has to lift a hand. With difficult transactions the true quality of the agent comes through and this was the case with the sale of 24 Weaver Street by Maureen Skrilow. Without Maureen and the Raveis team we would not have had a sale."
James Cowen (Larchmont, NY)

"Maureen Skrilow went over and above the normal tasks involved in the sale of the house. She was always available and prompt in answering my questions day and night. Without her mediation, I don't know if the sale would have happened. <br />"
Phoebe Melly (New York, NY)

"Maureen Skrilow is the most energetic and personable agent we have ever worked with. We have tried to sell this house on two previous occasions with other agents and agencies with no result. We highly recommend Maureen."
Robert English (Rye, NY)

"Maureen was an invaluable resource throughout the entire home selling process - from deciding to list, market and price our property, to negotiating the sale. Her expertise and genuine, down-to-earth attitude made the whole process and outcome ideal. We can't recommend working with Maureen enough!"
Aliza & Nicholas Madden (Port Chester, NY)

"Maureen was very kind and pleasant to work with. She was always available when we needed to speak with her and when we had questions. She went above and beyond in helping us find the home we were looking for."
Tracy Gavila (Bronx, NY)
