From our very first phone call, Ilia went above and beyond to help us find the right home for our family. She worked tirelessly to identify homes close to our budget while still checking the boxes that mattered most to us. What stood out immediately was how invested she was in our search, constantly sharing new listings and staying in close contact throughout the process.Ilia guided us with honesty and care, always considering our unique family situation when giving her professional opinions. During the bidding and contract process, she remained by our side every step of the way, offering not only expert guidance but also genuine support. She truly became a trusted confidante in what can often be a stressful journey.We cannot recommend Ilia highly enough to anyone looking to buy a home in Essex County. She combines expertise with compassion and will work just as hard for your family as she did for ours.

Ilia has helped my rent, buy, and sell property, and each time she has done a wonderful job. She is hands on and a good communicator who is always available to answer questions. Ilia is also very persistent and helpful in negotiations. Additionally, Ilia was instrumental in connecting me to other professionals to help me both prep and complete the sale of my property and navigate a complicated plumbing permit issue (e.g., painters, handymen, and stagers, and real estate attorneys). Overall, I would highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.

I’m a first time home buyer who has been searching for the perfect place to call home for about 3 years. I worked with other agents before and unfortunately, was not able to locate the home of my dreams mostly because I felt very lost in the process and as anyone at times scared of the “mortgage payment” commitment. With Ilia it was different from the start, my friend recommended her as someone that is patient and caring, someone who is not just in it to sell you a house but to truly find you the right place you can call a home. She was prompt, caring and full of resources. The entire process was an easy one and very smooth because of her follow up and level of investment to ensure her client understands every step. She is a true professional and a wonder to work with. I would buy my next property with Ilia and highly recommend her to all my friends and family. Johanna - New Home Owner!

My husband and I cannot recommend Ilia highly enough. You will be hard-pressed to find many other agents with better local knowledge and experience. It was a tough time to sell as we were all navigating through the COVID pandemic. Ilia guided us through the process gracefully, with impeccable negotiating instincts and an unflappable, warm, kind, and professional demeanor. We could not have hoped for a smoother process and a better result, with happy parties on both sides.

Ilia is the best realtor we’ve ever had. She is truly unique in the time she takes to patiently guide you through the process of selling your home, undertakes a full market analysis that she shares and discusses with you, and takes care of your home as is it was her own. I would strongly recommend her and her team.

Ilia is the best realtor that I have dealt with, she is very professional, knowledgable of her area, and she has a lot of resources to make this process much easier. She always told us what to expect so we were always a step ahead. She guided us every step of the way and we will always thank her for this. We met not knowing each other but at the end we were like family and we still remain in contact with her. She is really an expert on what she does.

As a single mother who needed the involvement of my ex husband through the sale of our close to 20yr owned family home I felt confident with entrusting Ilia to stay neutral through the process. I could not recommend her more for her professionalism and sensitivity.

Ilia was the best to work with! As an executor of an estate, and not local, I trusted her every step of the way to take care of everything for us.....and she did! The sale of the house went so smoothly and so fast!

Ilia is a true gem! Not only has she been a trusted advisor in the changing realty landscape but she’s helped our family make pivotal decisions when both acquiring and selling property. Having Ilia in our corner has spoiled us a bit as she is committed, consistent and so knowledgeable. She has a keen eye that aligned with our wants and needs on the buyer end and is discerning during tough negotiations when representing the seller. We’ve recommended her to family and friends time and time again and she’s rocked each opportunity! We are so grateful to have found the best out there.
