Al & Mike

We thank you for all your efforts in the selling of our home. Even though we did not profit because of the short sale we could not have done this with out your expertise and wonderful team of attorneys you have put together. Once again, thank you for helping us through this difficult time in our lives. Looking forward to doing business with you in the future.

Hello Al

Thanks again for all your support in the transaction of our new home. We have to say that had we not looked at this house we would probably have taken the first one on our list - thank God we listened to what you had to say, I can't believe I would have almost past up this home. Thanks again you were a wonderful surprise

Your friends

Hello Al & Mike

We can't begin to thank you enough for all you've done for us in the last several months. This would not have gone as smoothly had we tried to do this on our own. Once again thank you for finding that special spot in the world for us.

"Al provided us with quite a bit of knowledgeable information that as first time home buyers really put us at ease. Al was on time for all our showings and provided us with thorough information on each of the houses we looked at. He took the time to sit down and explain everything to us which was very comforting. He had a great personality and he was very thorough, friendly and professional. As first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect but Al walked us through the entire process. He was very informative and explained everything we had questions about. We feel that Mr. Cocchia went above and beyond our expectations of a Realtor. We were very satisfied with the job he did and would happily recommend his services to others."

This past summer I accepted a position in Connecticut and was referred to Al Cocchia and Michael Larke by the Keller-Williams agent I had in the Philadelphia area. With four teen aged children and a limited budget, I knew it would be a challenge to find a home.  
Al and Mike went well above and beyond any expectations to help us.  They put in countless hours showing us over 100 homes, following up with contractors for building-related questions, and even making calls to sellers who had taken their houses off the market to find us a house that we could call home.  They were extraordinarily considerate, honest and professional.  We are truly grateful to them for their efforts and now have a beautiful new home in Fairfield County.  Al and Michael are the best!

Al Cocchia, Michael Larke and the Border Group of Keller Williams Realty were superb in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home in Fairfield. They had a buyer in mind for our home before we actually put the house on the market. Al and Michael were available around the clock to assist us with both the sale and the purchase. 100% dedication to making us happy while making sure the process went as smooth as possible. I would not recommend any other realtor or agent for the sale of your home or your next purchase.

We bought a condominium in Milford, ct, ten years ago that became too big for us ( three bedrooms, two and a half baths ), so we decided to sell.  the market was already getting soft, but we still had high hopes.
We went with Coldwell Banker, and signed a six month contract.  we re-signed the contract for another six months, and when we had no results, we put the sale on hold. We decided to go with Al and the Superior Home Living Team to see if they could shake things up for us, and we sold our condo within three months!
we feel the difference was due to Al and his teammates aggressive marketing and communication skills.
The transaction was smooth and the buyer and the two of us are now friends. 
if you want to buy or sell, talk to Al and the Superior Home Living Team

I worked with Al Cocchia and closed on my first home on May 30, 2008. With Al's help, I found my dream condominium by the beach and the process was surprisingly fast and painless. Since this was my first home buying experience, I had a laundry list of questions and concerns but Al took took the time to walk me through the entire process and made me feel very informed and comfortable with each step. I have now been in my new home for almost 6 months and couldn't be happier. Thank you to Al and the entire The Border Group for helping to make this New York City girl a happy suburban homeowner!

The TBG Team made our experience in multi family investment properties as easy as it gets. We really didn’t have to do much more than answer the phone for showings and as far as the sale, I think the negotiations were stellar, Al & Terry kept us up to date every step of the way. I strongly recommend securing The Border Group as your Realty Team.

Hi Al and the Gang
Just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for us. Were sorry we decided to buy in NC because we can't have you as our agent, but the agent you referred us to is great and we appreciate that and everything else you have and continue to do for us

Hi Al & Mike
Thank you so much for your help - not sure where we'd be right now if we didn't listen to your advice about that last house we're very happy here and that tree is down now.

Thanx again

Dear Alvin
Tashi and I would like to thank you for your concerns about the house we really wanted if you had not mentioned the roof or furnace we would have had a huge expense on our hands. We are happy with our home and our realtors diligent service.
Keep in touch as we will too.

Hello Al & Mike
Thanks for the great job. No one else expressed such concern about buying the right house like you did. We would have made a great mistake taking the other house we had an interest in, I’m sure your aware they did build across the street and we would have been looking at 34 homes from our front window. Thank thank thank you for making that clear to us – besides we love the home we’re in now we will defiantly pass out your cards to people we know.

Thank you and best of luck
Mr. and Mrs. Delvalle – we can say that now.

Mr. Cocchia
Please to thank you for your help we were very pleased with your service when we came there from Illinois we were quite nervous about moving that far away but you made us feel like everyone there is nice to you. I’m glad to know you know your business and can really help in finding us a home.

Hello Al,
Thank you for your help and the time you spent with us. You were a great help and a comfort to us. Moving from Denver is not an easy task to take on but you made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately, we have decided not to move at this time, but maybe in the future we will. We will keep you in our mind just in case we decide to move in the future.

Thank you again and have a good day.
Nidam.

Al,
You may be aware of this information. I talked to Nidam today and he decided to stay here and not take the job in Connecticut. He really appreciated how you took care of them and showed them around Connecticut to find homes. He felt the prices of homes there would not justify his increase in salary by changing jobs. Thank you very much for taking such good care of our friends. I will keep you in my referral database and hand out your information around the office in case anyone has someone relocating to your area. Hopefully, we get a chance to return your favor here in Denver

Thanx again and stay well

Dear Mr. Cocchia.
My husband Ron and I are very pleased with the home you sold us in Ansonia . We started the landscaping with the gift you gave us (thank you) and the yard is starting to look great. We wanted to thank you for the timely and courteous work and effort you put into our searching for a new home.

To Al Cocchia
We were so happy working with you to find our new home and sell our last home. There isn't anything we can think of that we would change if we were in charge of her business. You really listened well when showing us properties. You were not pushy, we did not feel obligated in any way at all. You are a very well organized individual.

Tahnk you.

Dear Al and Michael
Thank you for providing such a valuable service. Your staff was extremely helpful, and I am so happy with the outcome I received from Varrone Realty. I wish all businesses would treat their customers as professionally and respectfully as you do, and I will be sure to recommend you to all my associates.

Thanks again for your help.

Dear Al
Thank you, thank you so much for all the consistent guidance and help in finding this home. We can't believe our first home is this big and beautiful. If you want we can take some of your business cards to spread around. We just wanted you to know how happy we are; that you were our Realtor.
P:S we want you over for dinner one night.

Please keep in touch
Steve and Sam Santiago /Jones.

Al.
All I can say is; no other Realtor displayed the courage you displayed when showing us Madison Ave , to think we were going to go with the other house. If you hadn’t intervened and changed the schedule for that Monday; you know we would have purchased the other home in Fairfield and not be near as happy in this classic saltbox. I still can’t believe how you pegged our taste so precisely Al; Ted and I will never be able to thank you enough for the joy we have in our lives’ now. You are a success at your trade and we will have great joy coming back again some day.
Have a wonderful wonderful day.
Sharon & Ted Tabinski.
