Short version: Absolutely AMAZING!! In length: I don't have enough good words to say about Jill and her team. I have moved more than 8 times in the last 2 decades and by far this is the most professional and kind realtor I have met!!! First of all Jill really listens to what your needs are, than she listens to what your wants are, and then she will find the right fit for you. She was there throughout the process, always giving reassurance that she has your back, and personally this is the first time we bought a home without setting foot in it prior, and it was solely because of the level of confidence we had in her, and how approachable she and her team were to address our questions. Without hesitation she will be my recommended realtor for my family and friends.

Moving to Ithaca in the current market was daunting, and Matt made the process so much easier! He took the time to understand what I was looking for and then used his knowledge of the area to show me some great options. He gave me all the practical information I didn’t have as someone new to the area, like what each neighborhood offers and what my commute would be. I definitely recommend Matt if you’re looking for a new home!

Garret is a fantastic professional! My wife and I were interested in seeing properties to get the sense of houses and apartments in the region. We did not know anything about house hunt before. Garret set up an excellent 2-day tour for us to see houses and apartments. We saw eight properties in total and all of them are fit to our price range. He picked a variety of properties so that it was great for us to learn about the types of houses and apartments in the region. Also, his picks were great to know the sense of typical houses and apartments at different neighborhoods. He was friendly and responsive, and his knowledge of the area help us to learn about the region and housing market. We really enjoyed them. When I decided to come to the region, I will continue to work with him for the actual deal.

Garrett is more than an agent, he is a teammate! Words can't express what a phenomenal experience I had working with Garrett. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and always put his client's needs/interests ahead of everything else. I was dreading the entire process of buying a home and Garrett made the whole thing extremely approachable. He's a true professional. If you're looking for an agent to buy or sell, look no further!

Garrett did an incredible job of helping us purchase our Ithaca area property - for months he helped us search for and visit houses, and pointed out so many things that we wouldn’t have noticed as buyers. He always had our best interest in mind throughout the process, with everything from discussions on financing to inspections. If you get a chance to work with Garrett, jump on it! He’s a great guy, and a great agent.

We worked with Garrett over a period of several months to purchase a lake cottage. He is extremely competent and knowledgeable. Super responsive, patient, and personable. I would recommend him without reservation.

Garrett was huge help when buying a house in Ithaca. He not only found us many great options within our budget but also provided us with any details we wanted to know about the houses. When viewing houses he paid attention to details and made sure to check for any leaking water, structural issues, etc. He did not rush us into any decisions and was very patient with us as we explored the various housing options. Once we placed a final offer he recommended us lawyers in Ithaca that also were a pleasure to work with. During the final walk through on the house we were going to close on, Garrett was once again very thorough, making sure all appliances, electrical, water, etc. were in working order. It was such a pleasure working with Garrett and the Jill Burlington team and we will definitely choose them again if we are to buy or sell a property in the Ithaca area!

Jill was committed to selling our home and worked hard to find the best buyer. Our home was a challenge to sell but Jill worked at it until she found the right buyer.

A friend who had used Jill in a purchase of a home recommended her to us when we were in the process of moving to Ithaca. Using Jill was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She was knowledgeable about the real estate market and listened to what we were interested in buying. She devoted a tremendous amount of time to our search and suggested a number of houses that were coming on to the market but were not yet listed. We ended up getting the house of our dreams. In the negotiation phase, Jill was exceptional. She gave us great advice. I would recommend her to anyone. She is the absolute best.

zuser20160812182655445

Jill was referred to me by a family friend. I could immediately tell she understood the market as well as the process. She was familiar with so many of the houses in the neighborhood. Most importantly, Jill was always available, from the moment I reached out to her and we set up a call a day or so later to always being available via her cell phone to connect on a big or small topics. She works with many clients but I always felt as though I had her undivided attention. Jill provided her perspective and recommendation but respected my decisions if they differed and never pressured me or made me feel like I was making a bad decision.

Vicky Myers

Jill is #1 for a reason - HIRE HER! We listed our home with Jill and could not have been happier with the experience and outcome. Our house was not an easy sell. It was listed well above our tax assessment and the Z-estimate. Jill saw the value and stood behind our price - and we got it!

At every step, Jill went above and beyond to help us sell our Cayuga Lake home. We could not have been more pleased with her attentiveness. Further, she clearly knows the Ithaca market and surrounding communities, and in particular understands and communicates the nuances associated with owning and selling lake property. We would recommend her to others in a heartbeat.

Jill helped my wife and I tremendously in searching for homes around the Ithaca area. She provided us tons of information about each neighborhood and outlined the pros and cons. There is a reason she is the top agent around.

Jill Burlington was great to work with. She understood our challenges in downsizing as we prepared to move from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom condo in another state. She was always friendly yet professional, and we would definitely recommend her to homeowners selling their homes in Ithaca. Jill’s listings attract the top buyers of Ithaca homes; we are glad we went with the Burlington team!
