LIFamilies Vendor Testimonials

When it came time to sell my home I knew I wanted to work with Beth Lowe right from the start. I had several friends who had used her in the past and always recommended her with high praises. I've also had the privilege to watch Beth grow through the years and was always amazed by her strength, determination, and ability to overcome whatever obstacles that came her way. Working with Beth was an easy process. Her customer service is second to none. She's available by a simple text or phone call. Selling my home wasn't an easy decision...it was a very difficult decision that needed to be done and Beth was there to help every step of the way. I've since recommended Beth Lowe and her team at EXIT Realty Achieve a million times. I flat out say "if you're looking for a knowledgeable realtor, with incredible customer service, and a thirst for success - there's no need to look further".

I don't even know where to begin with Rosemarie and her ladies!! Back in October, we had done a first birthday party for my son in our yard! We had approximately 90 adults and 20 kids! Never once have I been able to throw a party and feel as though I attended. I've always been the one running around making sure everything was getting done, everyone was eating and drinking, everyone was enjoying themselves, etc. I was a typical hostess!! So when it came time for my son's birthday party, I wanted to make sure I was able to enjoy myself and I wanted to be able to actually attend the party for once! After speaking with multiple waitress companies, I came across Rosemarie and The Silver Spoon Party Service. Immediately, I loved Rosemarie! Not only did she help me to make sure we were properly prepared, she even had some of her own servicing stuff for me to use! Her ladies were all early and they were EXTREMELY WONDERFUL to speak to and work with. They handled literally EVERYTHING for me and were absolutely AMAZING!! Not only did my husband and I adore them, but so did my guests!! Rosemarie even helped me to choose our caterers based off of the food I told her we wanted to serve. I really have to say that the ladies did everything from helping me set up, to serving the food, to cleaning up, and even went as far as going the extra mile and folded my laundry that I couldn't get to!! I would recommend them to everyone a million times over again!! I cannot say enough about my exceptional experience with them!! One thing is for sure, I will definitely be calling Rosemarie for all future parties that we throw!!

Fernando of Doctor Pavers, what can I say about the guy that hasn’t already been said… I originally heard about Fernando several years back from many recommendations here on LIFamilies.com. When we bought our house we knew the front needed some curb appeal, so we ripped out bushes, totally redesigned the entire front. When it came time to find someone to do the work for the walkway there was only one name that stood out – Fernando. Fernando came highly recommended for paver work, but with the style of our house & landscaping pavers just didn’t fit in. I explained to Fernando what I wanted & he agreed. From the moment we called Fernando until the work was complete he was an absolute gem to work with. Fernando and his staff were so wonderful that we called them back for another smaller project we had in mind, to extend our patio. This project, although a much smaller one, was treated no different from the other, the service and quality of work was impeccable.

Fernando and his crew was fantastic! The estimate was so much less then other estimates I got and his work was amazing. Fernando was on time and delivered exactly what was promised. I would use him again and again and recommend him to anyone I know.

Wiliiston Park Animal Hospital is by far the best Vet in Long Island. Dr.Hardoon is the most compassionist doctor i have ever met. My puppy had become very ill and i was searching for a a new Vet and i came across Williston Park Animal Hospital on Long Island Families. I called and spoke with the LVT Guillermo who spoke to me in length before my puppy was even a patient. I cant say enough about this office, they saved my Charlies life and i will be forever grateful for the care and love they give him every time we walk into the office! Don't look any further for a Vet just call Williston Park Animal Hospital at (516) 248-1489 and your pets will be cared for by the BEST!!!

My 3 year old son loves this place...wait, not only does he love it at BounceU Farmingdale - I do too! I've been to other BounceU locations & none compare to the Farmingdale location. It's big, open, clean & perfect for my son's age. The staff is always friendly, which is a huge plus when dealing with children! We love it so much we travel from mid-Suffolk passing many other bounce places just to go here! We celebrated DS's birthday here during a preschool playdate & even requested & received the 5 pack BounceU gift pass for Christmas! I can't wait to create more happy memories for him!

I just had my twins' 2nd birthday party at our house. I hired the Silver Spoon company because for once I wanted to be able to talk with my friends and family instead of running around all day. They were absolutely amazing! They were here early to help set up.Then they were serving all my guests their food. And then they packed up everything for me and cleaned my entire kitchen! And Rosemarie had such great ideas that added the perfect touch to everything. I said to my husband at the end of the night, "This is so great to have enjoyed the party and not have to worry about clean-up after." I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them for any future parties we have.

Selling my condo was certainly not easy but Beth always went above and beyond and got my house sold! She was always on top of everything and always quick to respond to my questions or concerns. She works hard and is completely dedicated to her work and helping her clients get through this hard process! I would recommend Beth in a heartbeat to anybody buying or selling a home!!!

I have been going to Peds First for a little over a year. I made the switch when my 3rd DC was born. I was sick and tired of waiting forever in my old practice to only be rushed through an exam. I switched my 2 older DC as well. My 6 year old loves going to see Dr. H and literally skips into the exam room. He is great with the kids and thorough with his exams and I never feel rushed. I have never waited in the waiting room for more than 2 minutes and the staff is so nice. This is a great practice and I am so glad I made the switch.

We switched to Peds First about a year ago; and I couldnt be happier! Where I was previously, I never felt that my concerns were heard or addressed but that is far from the case at Ped's First. The Dr's, listen to every concern and answer every question! My kids LOVE Dr Haleogua and you can tell he genuinely loves them as well!!! There isnt a time that my boys leave without a hug, high five or kiss on the head! I highly recommend the practice to anyone who is looking for a Pediatrician! The office is very clean, I am always able to get an appointment, and rarely have to wait long in the waiting room.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Peds First Pediatrics. As a Mom ready to give birth at any minute having to chose a peditrician was stressful. Thankfully I received a recommendation & checked out Peds First. Both DH & I fell in love with Dr. Halegoua at our first meeting. He answered our questions & we felt confident in our decision immediately. In the hospital after giving birth we even looked forward to his visits – not only to hear how our new little boy was doing, but to get a few laughs & have all of our questions answered without feeling dumb for asking them. DS is now 2 years old & has been seen by both Dr. Halegoua & Dr. Nastasi. They have been incredible & helped us through so much including pnuemonia at 3 months old & multiple rounds of nebulizer treatments for when he got sick. They’ve always done everything in their power to avoid DS going into the hospital & have been successful. Every visit he gets the love & care that goes beyond what we would expect and are so very thankful for. There is no fear in DS’s eyes when he goes to the doctor. He thinks he’s there to visit his friends and will talk about “Dr. Jason” for days.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Nastasi since she was one day old. Dr. Nastasi always takes the time to answer all my questions (sometimes crazy being a new Mom) and never makes me feel rushed. She has a wonderful bedside manner and I just love knowing that my daughter has such a wonderful and caring Doctor. The office itself is very clean and the staff is wonderful. I have called at 3am and my call is returned very promptly. I would definitely recommend them to any parent. You are in good hands with Peds First Pediatrics!

Dr Jason and his staff are amazing. He has been taking care of my sisters 5 children for years and I am so happy she referred him to me. I have now referred several friends, co-workers and family to his group. He spends the time with my daughter and really cares. He is easy to speak to and will listen to my concerns. His office is clean and easy to get to right off the LIE. I highly recommend him. Send me a FM if you have any questions..

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Beth at Exit Realty. She sold our home quickly, to qualified buyers, for a price very close to asking price. She was prepared, professional, responsive, and simply outstanding from start to finish. She was actually the only realtor we interviewed who utilize additional marketing ideas alongside extensive internet and print advertising. Because of her effective marketing techniques, we had frequent showings and wound up with multiple offers. I was incredibly impressed. I was even more impressed when I realized that our condo was the first one to sell in our town in nearly two years! Beth was on our side, working hard, from the very beginning to the very end. She was always accessible, responsive, and answered all of our questions. I have seen firsthand realtors who walk away from a deal once the contract is signed and only reappear at closing to get paid. This is NOT the case with Beth. She was on top of everything throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond for us, and we are truly grateful for the incredible service. Perhaps most importantly, we knew every step of the way that Beth was on our side and had our best interests at heart. We were able to trust her, and she didn’t let us down. She is quite possibly the hardest-working realtor on Long Island! She was such an asset to have on our side that I wouldn’t even dream of using another realtor for any of our future real estate needs on Long Island. I would especially urge first time buyers or sellers to consider using Beth. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process, cares about your best your interests above all else, and will be able to walk you through the entire process from start to finish. It was a great feeling to have someone so good on our side. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Beth!

This is a BIG shout out to recommend Christine Braun from Century 21 Dallow for any real estate needs you might have. She is a vendor on here; I just used her for my rental. We had a complex situation and need to search hard for the right tenant. She was fantastic: patient, diligent, professional, courteous, and quick to respond. She really knows her stuff and always had thoughtful, helpful suggestions when we hit stumbling blocks in the process. She was great. I highly recommend her. Thanks Christine!

Beth was simply fabulous when it came to being our Real Estate Agent. She set us up with a Listingbook account almost instantly, she was always easily accessible when I had a question, or a concern. She reassured us when we needed to know that things were going to work out, and she held our hands through out the entire process. She took care of everything almost as quickly as it came across her desk. My son loved her more than words can say and called her Princess Beth, and spoke about her non stop. My husband and I were originally trying to do things on our own but when no one would call back I called Beth! She instantly set up the showings we wanted and took care of everything under the sun. She is GREAT!!!!

Wendi has been hands down amazing to work with!!! My DH and I were so worried about who to hire, and what to do when we decided to buy a house, and when Wendi contacted me I felt it was worth a shot!!! I could have never guessed she would be as wonderful as she is!! She made everything so easy, and allowed me to question her about everything. She already had things done when my mortgage company asked for them, she always returned all correspondences almost instantly. She worked with the special circumstances of my DH being in the military and not being easily accessible, and made it seem like a breeze to buy a house. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is. I will truly recommend her to everyone and anyone I know who needs a Real Estate Attorney!

I have been meaning to share my praise for Wendi for quite some time now. After hearing about her and reading all her recs on LIF, my DH and I signed up for her to be our attorney when purchasing our new home. She was by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with. Buying a home is very stressful and Wendi helped us along the way with questions and concerns. She was always accessible and easy to speak to. I highly recommend Wendi when you purchase your home. You will be nothing short of thrilled with her representing you. I would use her again if I needed a RE lawyer again and would recommend her to anyone seeking a true professional.

I am writing to express my pleasure with real estate agent Beth Lowe, who represented my husband and me in our recent purchase of a single-family home. I contacted Beth in June 2010, stating that my husband and I would be looking to purchase within the upcoming months. Ms. Lowe immediately set us up with a listing book account; she never pushed us, but rather allowed us to “work” at our own pace. When we were ready to get out and begin our search, Beth made some appointments based on the criteria I had given her. Our new home was the 2nd house we saw on the very first day we went out. Being first time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with the purchasing process. However, Beth was always there to recommend someone and guide us through the entire process. Our situation was not typical, since we had received a state grant which required additional inspections and paperwork. Beth worked hard at scheduling appointments, making calls, and basically staying on top of not only her job but everyone else’s, as well. Ms. Lowe went above and beyond and words can not express how grateful we are to have worked with her. Her knowledge and persistence combined with her level of enthusiasm made for a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience. I wish ALL businesses had the level of customer service that Ms. Lowe does. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home! Respectfully, Marissa Watson

We just closed on our home in September 2010. When you are a first-time home buyer, you tend to doubt everything and every step. It seems so scary and overwhelming. We knew we wanted someone who was patient, informed, and no-nonsense. Because this was new to us, we wanted someone to really be on our side and represent us. So many people recommended Wendi Lindsey, and we can easily see why. Wendi is a true professional, always available for even our most mundane questions that she probably has heard a million times before. We had a lot of questions, but Wendi was always patient and explained everything thoroughly. She was always honest, which we valued tremendously. With Wendi representing us, our closing went so smoothly, and we don't know what we would have done without her. We plan on working with Wendi for our other matters, such as our wills, and will continue to sing her praises.

My husband and I bought our first home back in December and used Wendi as our attorney. She was referred to us through another LIFer who used her and had a positive experience with her. We are happy to say the same. She was readily available to answer many of our questions and concerns during the homebuying process. Very easy to talk to and completely explained all paperwork to us both during the mortgage process and at the closing table. Very knowledgeable and definitely somoene you can depend on to work FOR you and in your best interest. Thanks again Wendi!!!

I first called Wendi when I was interested in buying a short sale and wanted to get some information from her. She ended up giving me such great advice and being very helpful, that I knew I would hire her when we were ready to buy a house. I was extremely happy with Wendi. She made the whole process very easy and smooth for us. Not only is she very knowledgable in her field, but she also has a great approachable and friendly personality. She was very easy to get in touch with and she kept me updated during every key moment. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have their best interests looked out for in the home-buying process!

I recently held a party for my daughter's first birthday. We had a large amount of people, and knew that we would need waitress service. I cannot even begin to tell you all what an incredible vendor Rosemarie and The Silver Spoon is. I hired them upon recommendation from an LIFer (and dear friend) when the party was originally supposed to be at my in-law's house in their backyard. Once the party was going to be moved inside, I knew for sure we would need extra help. I informed Rosemarie about the change, and she gave me a list of things that I would need at such a location. I’m glad she did as there were many things we needed to have. Rosemarie and another lady (whose name escapes me) showed up one hour before the party started and began to set up. She came in with a big Rubbermaid type of tub and I was wondering what was inside. Well as it turns out, it was filled with table decorations and serving pieces that made the food table look so much better than I ever thought it would. I would have been perfectly content with serving the heros on the planks they came on, but Rosemarie took the slices and arranged them in baskets to make it easier for our guests to see what it was they were going to eat. She then took some lovely faux flowers and vine-y things to put around the food. Her serving trays were so pretty and they made a huge difference in the presentation. The two ladies made sure everyone had what they needed. They cleared up the plates on the table and refreshed drinks as necessary. When the food was done being served, they wrapped and packed everything up. Then they set up the coffee and dessert table. By the time the party was over, one wouldn’t even know that a party had just taken place. I HIGHLY recommend The Silver Spoon and will surely use them again in the future. It was probably the best choice in vendors for our entire event.

John has been to our home several times. He is reliable, neat and reasonable and trustworthy. He will be back for more work soon. We highly recommend him.

My Husband and I bought our first home in Oct of 07' and I can honestly say that without Wendi's help, I am not sure where we would be today. Wendi is knowledgeable, persistent and 100% there when you need her. She was never to busy to answer a phone call or an e-mail, she explained everything in detail and made my Husband and I so at ease with having her on our side. I had recommended Wendi to a few people and they all had nothing but amazing things to say about her. If you are looking for a Lawyer that you can trust, someone that will do the right thing for you and always have your best interest first, she is the one to call.

I love this company. Dieter is an honest hardworking business owner. He built our pool and his company opens and closes it every year. I wish all companies were ran like this one. Fair prices and honest and reliable. Dieter even took us to jobs to see pools being built and also to help us decide on one that was right for us. We highly recommend this company.

My husband and I bought a house in Dec, our first. Wendi was recc'd by someone else on LIF... and she was worth it! She is really nice and not intimidating. She knows what she is doing and charged us a fair price. Wendi was always available to answers our questions, no matter what they were. I feel like she is "my lawyer" and am glad to have her on my side!
