We have worked extensively with John Maranto (Team Leader for the Maranto Team of Cummings & Co. Realtors) as we searched for a new home in Baltimore and Harford Counties, Maryland. In the nearly yearlong search, John has been extremely helpful and enormously patient! What made matters even more difficult was that we were moving from North Carolina, so much of our search was from 400 miles away with frequent short visits to look at specific properties. John stuck with us the whole way! He provided excellent advice and was very supportive throughout. He kept our best interests at heart and saved us on numerous occasions from making serious mistakes. We will always be grateful for that! On the rare occasions when John was not available to show us properties, his outstanding team of associates jumped right in and helped us out. John also made the vast amount of ‘paperwork’ needed for making offers very easy to understand and straight forward. Considering how many times we made offers (but were beaten out by others), John’s help and perseverance was invaluable. The advantage of this service cannot be underestimated! Finally, we found the perfect property, and in the process made a friend for life. It is a pleasure to recommend John . If you are lucky enough to work with him, you will be very glad you did!
