Aurora Banaszek

ZillowVERIFIED

My wife and I recently purchased a home with the help of Aurora, who also happened to be the first real estate agent we ever worked with. Despite the two of us being first time home buyers who were not comfortable with the state of the real estate market, Aurora showed incredible patience and worked with us to find the right property. Throughout the process Aurora made us feel comfortable, helped to educate us about areas that we were not familiar with, and wasn?t afraid to tell us when she thought something wasn?t the right fit or a good deal. She even protected us from what could have been a major legal and financial headache due to missing paperwork which we had completely looked past. She is incredibly well connected in the market, respected by her peers, and was truly a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her and when the day comes, cannot imagine working with anyone else to find our next home.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aurora. She works so hard for her clients, is incredibly knowledgeable about everything real estate and is responsive to her clients needs. She is an outstanding real estate agent and anyone would be lucky to have her on their side. She helped us look for almost two years for our home and then when we finally found something worked tirelessly to help us purchase it. We wouldnt have been able to do it without her. She is a wonderful person and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend you reach out to her if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

My wife and I purchase our first home with the help of Aurora during the pandemic (summer 2021) which presented market conditions never seen before -- mounting competition, low interest rates, and even lower inventory. Aurora came referred to us through a trusted mutual contact who sold her to us as an agent who knows the local area well and will get the deal done. When we found our perfect home, Aurora dug in - her guidance was spot-on throughout the process notably when it came to the critical moments: initial offer price, best and final offer price, post accepted offer negotiations, communication with listing agent, and deal execution. Her communication throughout the process was outstanding too often sharing info/updates at early AM and late PM times. Most recently weve used Aurora as a source of info for home improvement professional references. Shes become a friend now too. We unconditionally recommendation Aurora for your Westchester, NY real estate needs. Her outstanding help throughout our buying process made it a memorable one!

I feel so lucky to have had Aurora representing me as a first time home buyer in 2021. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Westchester housing market. She provided valuable feedback on houses that we were interested in (often saving us a trip) , and gave us tips about houses that were coming on the market soon. She really understood what we were looking for and worked with us patiently until we found our dream home! She was available to accommodate our busy schedules after work and during weekends, not to mention always being available by phone. She continues to help us even after we closed by answering all of our local questions! I could not have imagined going through the buying process without her. Her passion for this profession is evident and shes just so pleasant to work with.

Words cant describe how incredible our experience has been working with Aurora. My wife and I began the search for our first and forever home during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. After nearly one year of searching, 75-100 home tours and 12 rejected bids later, we finally closed. Aurora made sure she was there with us every single step of the way. Often times we would come from far distances and our schedule only permitted us to view homes at odd hours. Not once did Aurora hesititate to accommodate us. She truly treated us like family. Neither our budget nor location preferences made a difference to Aurora. She always made time for us as if we were her only client. As a lifelong resident of northern Westchester, Aurora has expert level knowledge of the area and community as well. She knew exactly where we should (and shouldnt) look for homes and made multiple detailed recommendations for us to consider. Aurora is patient, enthusastic and extremely personable. She is also very honest and will never steer you in the wrong direction. She made the entire process smooth and minimized every ounce of stress. As first time homebuyers, Aurora negotiated the perfect price for us. In fact, we would not have succeeded over 13 other bids had it not been for Auroras insight. We are forever grateful to Aurora and would highly recommend her whether this is your first or last home purchase.

We spent a lot of time with Aurora looking at properties in upstate NY. We found Aurora to be so knowledgeable and helpful navigating a particularly confusing time in the market. Her guidance and expertise were hugely appreciated and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a true partner during the house hunt.

Aurora is fantastic. As first-time homebuyers, Aurora absolutely put us at ease during the process. She is extremely patient, flexible, and responsive. Aurora possesses expert knowledge of the neighborhoods we visited. Her expertise and powers of observation really shine when touring properties. She pointed out everything from previous water damage, to mechanicals in need of replacement, to suspect listing/pricing history. She gave practical tips and recommendations on how to approach renovations and where to invest money in each property we saw. While the property we settled on was in CT rather than NY, Aurora continued to engage with us, providing us a checklist to help us through the purchasing process and avoid surprises as well as recommended inspectors/vendors. I highly recommend Auroras services to anyone purchasing a home and would refer any friend and family to her. She is wonderful.

Aurora is the rare kind of person who can transform one of life?s stressful moments into something much more calm and enjoyable! She makes everyone feel at ease and that relaxed vibe sets the tone for all to go smoothly. My husband and I purchased our home in Armonk about 8 years ago. The sale was a bit tricky and I truly believe that without her knowledgeable and steady influence we might not have landed here for good! Over the years, we?ve kept in touch in the community and just recently I asked for her advice on something property related. I didn?t really expect her to respond after all these years, but in true Aurora fashion, she did - and with thoughtful advice! Once a client, always a client.

Anyone looking to buy or sell could not find a better real estate professional than Aurora Banaszek. Aurora is the ultimate professional (extremely knowledgeable, respectful, prompt, reliable), while at the same time being a truly genuine person (approachable, helpful, friendly, honest). She correctly priced our house, marketed it expertly, networked with other professionals to have our house viewed by as many buyers as possible, and was instrumental in the negotiating process. The best decision we made in selling our house was to have Aurora Banaszek as our real estate professional. Simply said, Aurora is the best.

I?ve been involved in nearly a dozen real estate transactions over the years - purchases, sales, and rentals by me and by others. Even though I?ve been generally satisfied with each of these, I have never encountered a better real estate agent than Aurora. We first met her when we were looking for a short-term rental after moving out of NYC into Westchester County. She helped us locate and then gobble up a property that was just right for our needs, with a maximum or efficiency and appropriate pricing and location. My wife and I started our home search about one year later. Aurora valiantly showed us about fifty properties, each of which appeared on the web to satisfy our search criteria, but upon viewing them, did not. After a year of searching with Aurora, she took us back to a property which we had earlier rejected, and it ultimately became our new home. Aurora was fantastic throughout. She is a life-long resident of the area, so she is familiar not only with the landmarks but also with the real estate transactions and trends of the last thirty years. She has her ear carefully tuned to the market, so we could be assured that none of our few offers was excessive. She is plugged into all the local real estate service providers for moving. Inspections, construction, legal work and decorating, so whenever we needed a recommended business, she always had a list for us. As with many closings, we encountered a few bumps in the road, but Aurora knowing how much we wanted our current house, she easily and successfully navigated us through them. Moreover, Aurora is a delight to work with. Not only is she always available and prompt in answering questions, but she has a wonderful personality She is upbeat, optimistic (but not overly so) and always considerate of her client?s needs before her own. This is probably our last major real estate transaction, but if we are thinking of another, our first call would be to Aurora.
