“As first time home-buyers, we knew we had a lot to learn throughout the process. Working with Phil as a buyer’s agent was great, as we were able to access his expertise every step along the way. For each property we looked at, Phil gave us his thorough and candid take on the current market conditions in the area, as well as the quality and value of the property. Knowing we had someone with Phil’s experience looking out for our best interests was totally invaluable – and we’re about to close on a property we love!” -Buyer, EC
“Our prospective is unique in that we completed five transactions with Mr. Vita in recent history. In three transactions we were the buyer and in two transactions the seller. In every instance we placed our trust in Mr. Vita and are pleased to report our satisfaction with the outcome. When selling our home, Phil developed an innovative plan designed to attract local real estate agent interest. The outcome was successful, three offers to purchase our property for “at or above asking price” within a day of the first open house to the general public. It was refreshing to work with someone that has a passion for his job. Phil enjoys the challenge of preparing property for sale or for occupancy. In the preparation for selling our home Phil coordinated landscaping, installation of a heating system, asbestos removal, painting, refinishing floor, replacing electrical fixtures and bathroom plumbing. Coordinating this effort requires good general contracting skills, and confidence, Phil utilizes these skills when representing us as buyers, He helped us to calculate realistic costs for items in need of repair and remained supportive of our project after the transaction was completed. With Phil it is a relationship, not a transaction.When the opportunity presents itself, we confidently recommend Phil to anyone that asks our opinion.” -Seller/Buyer, DZ
“We had an excellent experience working with Phil and Amanda while buying our first home. They are both extremely professional and responsive. Phil was quite knowledgeable on walk throughs and always able to tell us a lot about the property that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. As someone who is passionate about what he does and also a skilled negotiator, Phil is the ideal agent to have in your corner in today’s competitive real estate market. Most importantly, we always felt like it was their honest attempt to represent our best interests and never felt like we were being pushed into making a decision to pursue a property.” -Buyer, KB
“I met Phil and his assistant, Amanda at a seminar hosted by my company’s credit union. Phil was selected by the credit union to give a presentation on home-buying 101. I was immediately impressed with their honesty and professionalism.
Several months later I was ready to put my family home on the market. As this was an estate sale, and I had no previous experience selling a home, I was completely dependent on the knowledge of a highly-skilled agent to guide me through the process. Phil and Amanda did just that.
From the first phone call through the closing, Phil and Amanda guided me through the process – from effective pricing, to sales strategy, to photography and property prep, and negotiating offers – to the little details like fire department certification and making sure I was reimbursed for oil in the tank.
They returned every phone call and replied to every email within a matter of minutes with the answers and detail I required. Additionally, they were patient when I was unclear and put me at ease when I was unsure….and always with a smile and a laugh.
I am 100% certain that their sales strategy was spot on, and that I received that best deal possible for the property. I would highly suggest that you work with Phil when selling a property.” -Seller,DS
“We have worked with Phil on 3 separate homes, and he has exceeded our expectations of what a realtor should do on our behalf each time. He is there to help you through every step of the process and guide you, not push you into a great decision. His advice on how to stage our homes to sell at top dollar was priceless. On our last house went for well over asking because of Phil’s help and negotiations. I would highly recommend Philip and the Vita Realty Group.” -Seller, LG&JG
“I can not say enough about the team of Philip Vita and his assistant Amanda Siciliano. From the very beginning, they helped my husband and I through the tough process of selling and buying a home. They thoroughly explained how they came up with the local comps, what they thought we should list our house for and why and how the entire process was going to run. From beautiful pictures and videos they took of our house for the internet, to stunning take-away documents they created for our showings, to the calendar of important dates moving forward and the phone and email notifications when a showing was requested, it was all so easy and efficient. Once the offers came in, the method of reviewing the offers was overwhelming, but Philip and Amanda broke it down into terms we could easily understand and they took away our fear of making the wrong decision. They fought for us to get top dollar for our house and to make the closing procedure work for our family. No sooner did they help us sell our current home, but then they immediately turned their efforts into helping us find our new home. We had a lot of things on our wish list and they never shied away from trying to get us everything we wanted and more. They knew the entire Winchester market and exactly which houses we should get in to see right away. We are happy to say that they were able to find us our new dream home. Again, during the offer process, they did everything they could to keep our budget in mind and to make sure to get us the best deal possible. We are so thankful to them for everything they have done for us over the last few months. Selling and buying a house is never an easy thing to do, but they made this entire experience completely painless.” -Seller/Buyer, TS&DS
“Philip Vita knows what he is doing! I can not say enough about his knowledge in real estate.” -Buyer, NG
“I have extensive experience with Philip Vita as both my Buyers and Listing Agent. His biggest strengths are his ability to creatively visualize, propose and implement sales strategies. His vast knowledge of local markets makes him an excellent resource for even the most experienced home buyer. His character, work ethic and cooperative attitude make him a pleasure to work with. Philip Vita adds value to every step of the purchase and sale process. I give him my highest of recommendations.” -Seller/Buyer, JZ
“Phil and his assistant, Amanda are judged to be a brilliant realtor who selected a brilliant assistant to provide us with such expertise, knowledge, hard work, and superb communication that it could only be a win-win situation. We appreciated two sets of skills that were very evident. His communication skills were exceptional. We never waited for more than 5 minutes to have a question answered or a phone call returned. Phil is an expert listener, which resulted in letting us feel empowered during the entire process. The second set of expert skills were his psychology or as someone else said his negotiation skills. He always had our best interest in mind when setting the listing price, receiving and accepting offers, signing the P&S, and ultimately closing on a home that we loved, and had lived in for 29 years. The process was seamless.” -Seller, CP
“Thank you both for the hard work and getting us the most money for our little 3 bedroom cape in Stoneham across from a commercial piece of property that is an eye soar. You both were great.” -Seller, MS
