“
We recently (March 2020) purchased a home within the Polo Club, utilizing the real estate brokerage services of Wendy and Michael Ledwitz. I am pleased to recommend Wendy and Michael’s services to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home in the local area. Our experience was as follows. The couple operated seamlessly as a team, each discharging a defined role in the real estate transaction. Wendy was extremely knowledgeable about the local housing market, in particular, listings and price points. She took the time to try and understand the type of home we sought to purchase and then tirelessly showed us appropriate housing opportunities until we needed a break. We also found her housing insights and suggestions particularly useful, as we ultimately purchased a home that was very different from our initial preconceived notion of what we thought our future home would be. After having identified a house for purchase, Michael got the deal done. Michael did a great job negotiating the price of our home and thereafter was of tremendous assistance in navigating us through the contract and closing process. What impressed me the most about Michael, however, was his willingness to go beyond the call of duty. Being out of state during the inspection period, I was unable to personally coordinate and be physically present at the house for the various inspections and contractor estimates which needed to be performed on a timely basis. Michael responded every single time. I do not believe that I could have gotten through the inspection period without his help. Heck, he even once went up on the roof of the house in order to look at something for me. I won’t forget that. In addition , his rolodex of tradesmen and service providers was also invaluable to us . For the foregoing reasons and more, on the basis of our experience, we can without hesitation recommend Wendy and Michael for the performance of residential brokerage services in the local area. - Mr. Barash

WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY AMAZING WORK ETHIC & LOVE WHAT THEY DO "Michael & Wendy could not have been more professional, and made us feel very comfortable. They were clearly knowledgeable about Polo Club, but more importantly, they quickly understood us and were interested in helping us find a place to buy that matched what we were looking for. Actually, they quickly showed us possibilities that we hadn’t even considered and were right on target with the types of residences that would suit us well. Wendy & Michael have an amazing work ethic and seem to truly love what they do. They were extremely helpful in getting us through both the buying and closing processes. They made sure that everything was perfect; they were very involved in making sure that everything was in place in the property that we purchased. They encouraged us to be in touch with them with any questions that we had no matter how small. We always felt that they were genuinely interested in not just making a sale, but in making us happy. We have already recommended Wendy & Michael to others and plan on continuing to do so. We have full confidence that others will be as satisfied as we have been." -Mr. and Mrs. Rubinstein
