“Gabriele did an outstanding job assisting us with the sale of our home. Our circumstances dictated that we needed to hire a new agent after having moved out of the country. Gabriele did not hesitate to sign on as our agent. What could have been a daunting and stressful process was seamless with Gabriele’s help. She worked tirelessly to make certain that we were kept apprised of everything happening with our home. Her communication and follow through was excellent, she responded very quickly to texts, emails and calls. Gabriele was also very clear and concise with her sales strategy and partnered with us on every decision, in addition to advising us accordingly. We would not hesitate to recommend Gabriele, you will not be disappointed!”

“Excellent service. Very professional agent with international experience. She accompanied us from start to end. I would highly recommend Mme Vretta. And I will call her when we are ready to buy another house.”
- Paul, Q uebec, canada“We had a great experience with Gabriele! Purchased sight unseen. Gabriele completed site visits on our behalf and took videos for us. She was sure to highlight items that were important for our decisions. She went out of her way to help on a few items that we were unable to do quickly from out of country. We highly recommend Gabriele, we have already forwarded her contact info to friends. We will be sure to reach out to Gabriele for our next purchase!”
