From buyers:
"CJ, thanks so much for the lovely housewarming gift -- it will come in very handy as we work with my friend the landscape architect to tame the grounds!
"Dear CJ, we want to thank you again for all your help throughout the house-buying process. We love our house! 🙂 We feel really grateful and lucky to be able to own this place, and so much of that is because of your help. Thank you."
"Thank you for the valuable advice and time you shared with us as we explored our options for purchasing...It was a pleasure working with you and we'll gladly recommend your services to anyone we know who may be looking to buy or sell in the Ithaca/Cortland area"
"Your (market) snapshot is wonderful. You do great work, and go above and beyond. Thank you so much, it really helps me make decisions."
Dear CJ, We are happy with your new home. We always feel thankful for all your guiding and help and warm heart.
Thank you so much for all your help this past year.
Thank you for being our advocate and advisor!
Hi CJ, Knowing that I had your knowledge & experience at my disposal helped me to approach the purchase of my first home with an unusual degree of confidence. You've been working in this local market for a long time, and you work hard to keep your knowledge up-to-date. Your involvement in other industry activities outside of individual sales strengthens your power as a buyer and/or seller's advocate. The numerous excellent experiences my family and colleagues have had with your services would have been more than enough to prompt me to engage you as my real estate agent, but I have also followed you throughout your career, and I have never met anyone else in this area with your winning combination of prefessionalism, skill, knowledge, and INTEGRITY. I was making the biggest purchase of my life, and I was so fortunate to have someone like CJ that I could trust implicitly to give me the straight story, and to help guide me through the process. Just one afternoon looking at houses with CJ was an educational esperience that I still benefit from. Five years later, my wife and I are still so very happy with your home. You really did hand-ick the perfect place for us, CJ! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
Thank you so much for the book about Candor. I don't know if you know, but we really enjoy history. We can't wait to do some exploring and see how many of these buildings are still standing. Thank you again for your help with our journey to this house. Without you, we know that we wouldn't live here.
Thanks for all your guidance and your friendship - You'll always be REALTOR® of the YEAR to me!
I want to tell you how much I appreciated your being so generous with your time last week, for compiling the information package, and for setting up the appointments for viewing. Even with only a few days of looking, I feel that a lot was gained in terms of becoming introduced to various areas and neighborhoods. This will be invaluable when I continue searching...
We just wanted to thank you so much for your patience in this whole process - and for guiding us through such an overwhelming experience. We had a lot to learn, and you taught us what we needed to know. We are so happy in this house - it feels like home.
“Dear CJ, Thank you so much for helping us through the process. Hope to work with you again in the future. All the best.”

Each time we’ve been in the market for a house, we have contacted CJ DelVecchio to be our Certified Buyers Representative. We’ve purchased 2 houses with her help; and are currently looking for our 3rd. CJ has provided us with outstanding service, attention to detail, and her high personal integrity. These qualities have reassured us that our interests are being looked after in the home buying process. She has been a pleasure to work with, and would be a strong asset for anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.
Just a note to say thank you for your efforts. Your attentiveness has been wonderful and reassuring.

CJ performed personably and professionally at all times. She speedily listed the property, introduced it to the market using appropriate methods, and captured the essence of the property on her well designed website. She kept in close touch with me throughout the process.
Want to thank you and the office staff for all the kindness shown me during the sale of my property. All the phone calls. Would also like to extend my appreciation and a whole lot of thanks to C.J. for all the time and effort she put into the selling of my property. She was very professional and did a job well above her regular duties. I am very satisfied and am glad I had her as my agent.
Thanks for working with us and being such a cheerful person while you’re at it.
Hi CJ, I have to say that I have heard great things about you from my friends. The e-mail thing makes sense – in that our communication got mixed up. I ended up going with a friend’s husband, and it all went well, luckily :). But I really appreciate the e-mails, and like I said, everyone that I talked to had great things to say about you. Thanks, take care,”
Hi CJ, Thanks so much for all you did for us. You are much appreciated! Warmest regards,
CJ, you’ve made this whole thing about as smooth as it could possibly be. Five stars!
