I was so pleased with Terry Ballentine's handling of the sale of my mother's condo. He came up with a successful strategy, dealt with the buyer's agent who was making unreasonable demands, took care of all the paperwork, and overall, did a terrific job! I've already recommended him to a friend.

Terry helped my husband and I buy our first home in Westchester. We highly recommend him!
Terry went over-the-top in communication and finding us exactly what we were looking for in a new home. He was always there for us, no matter how late we've called him. He was patient and guided us so well through the steps of first-time home buying.
As the manager of the Marina del Rey office, Terry is an expert in the market and has a lot of connections. There were so many things that he took care of behind-the-scenes, like finding the best inspectors, negotiating contingencies, and dealing with escrow which kept us stress-free during the process.
