I was very lucky to find John Oliveri online while still living in California and starting my relocation journey to New York. This was approximately 5 months before closing on a unit at the Trump Plaza New Rochelle which was exactly what I needed. My first contact with John was when I called about one of his listings; we had a long conversation. All I knew at that moment was I wanted to live in Astoria or Westchester County, and that I would be renting. John asked me many questions to understand my likes and dislikes and knew exactly what to recommend. We met a few months later during my first house hunt visit. He showed me several units at Trump Plaza; I found the building and New Rochelle to be perfect for me and, with his advice, decided to buy instead of rent. John quickly connected me with First Republic Bank that offered me an excellent mortgage, an attorney, and held my hand step by step throughout the whole process, including dealing with the building management and HOA for their approval. Being an out of towner, his help was priceless. John also referred a contractor who started my remodel immediately after I closed. He even advised where to get window treatments, referred a locksmith, and made himself available to answer questions and provided other referrals. I have met many relators in my lifetime, but John has been the best one ever...I rate him with 10 stars instead of 5, and without any hesitation recommend him to anyone buying or selling.

From Sister Kathleen Deignan, CND

How grateful I am to have had the wise and experienced guidance and support of Mr. John Olivieri as I transitioned from 175 Huguenot Street Plaza apartment. His courtesy and care were always on offer during the several months of planning to vacate the space, keeping me in mind of all that was required. I will sincerely miss his kindness and respectfulness, his calm demeanor, and his faithful attentiveness to my needs during the transition. John deserves more stars than the allotted 5 - he is a stellar professional and even more - a stellar person.

From Cobie Jane

In 2019, John Oliveri came to my rescue when a lease he was negotiating with my out-of-town agent fell through. John had no obligation to us, but he searched high and low to find another comparable unit in record time. It was clear from the moment we met that John is a man of his word who goes above and beyond every day. His work ethic and attention to detail are unparalleled. And I discovered all of this when he was someone else’s agent! Recently, with his expertise, I coordinated a complex move into another corporate apartment near New York City while I was overseas. Despite the communication challenges posed by limited access to cellular and internet service and scarce inventory, John found a perfect location and enabled us to make a smooth transition again. I hold him in the highest regard and will be forever grateful for his assistance in helping us navigate issues with movers, storage, cleaning and connecting utilities.

From Richard Gralla

I have been very fortunate to have had John Oliveri as my agent. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything in New Rochelle, and has extraordinary insight regarding all aspects of my building. He gives superb advice in all areas associated with real estate, from the legal to the practical. It has been greatly to my advantage in having John share his expertise and experience with me. In my view, John is the definition of a "5 Star" individual.

From Nora&Tom…

“John Oliveri is an outstanding and strong real estate professional. When my husband and I needed to rent our unit while we would be living internationally, we were referred to John from a friend. From the moment we met, John was not only professional, knowledgeable about the market and comparables, quick to respond, punctual to all appointments, and transparent and proactive in all communications but also friendly, warm, and sincere. Given his extensive experience in and knowledge of Trump Plaza New Rochelle and the area, my husband and I would not hesitate for a second to work with him again and refer him to neighbors and interested buyers.”

From Glenn Cooper

Professional, no-nonsense, and calm. John is a consummate professional with an intimate knowledge of the White Plains market.

From Janice

Dear Mr. Rand –

While I am sure you already know this, I want to take the time to say what a wonderful person and broker John Oliveri is. A true gem.

I first met John at an open house last Oct. on York Street in Bronxville, a home for sale right around the corner from where I lived. While there were other brokers there, I immediately gravitated towards John. The following weekend he came to my home and met my husband and family. The first listing he showed us – we loved. We did not get that house (we referred to that as “The Bayne Pain”- it was on Bayne Street).

We kept looking with John and found a home with John and also last week closed on our house (thank God) with John. So we bought a house and sold our house with John.

It took a lot of John’s time – and during this time John was always professional, caring, genuine and became part of our family gatherings. He is a true gentleman and the hardest working broker out there – he always said “call anytime” and we did. You are very lucky to have someone like John on your staff. And he is very proud to be on your staff as well. Even though we are settled into our new home and our other home is sold, John is a friend my family will continue to see time and again.

Sincerely,

Janice B.

From Monserrate and Tyrone

A quick message to current and prospective Trump Plaza New Rochelle community members:

We searched for another home that was closer to mid-town than our current residence is for a few years.

During our search we looked at and considered many different co-ops and condo’s throughout the Riverdale, Westchester and Manhattan market areas…with negative results. (The prices were unreasonable and the taxes gave one angina.)

We immediately knew our search had ended when we visited New Rochelle’s Trump Plaza!

– Great transportation
– Fantastic views! (Pictures above were taken from my living room)
– Excellent security
– Culturally diverse community
– Health club
…and more!

And, let me not fail to mention our real estate agent – John Oliveri – Priceless!

If you understand real estate you know the time to buy is now!!!

Trump Plaza New Rochelle offers us a luxurious lifestyle at today’s real estate prices.

We are excited to be part of the Trump Plaza community and we are looking forward to meeting our neighbors and discovering all that New Rochelle and the region has to offer.

From Angelo Salonitis

Very polite and knowledgeable realtor. Respectful and thorough in his dealings.

From Janet DiLorenzo, Wesley Hill, N.Y.

John showed sincere understanding and consolation for my feelings due to the loss of my daughter. He said he remembered her and I appreciated that he did. John agreed to my request for holding firm to my sale price and it was met. All in all it was an easy experience for me and my family. John Olivieri also recommended a real estate attorney in White Plains whom I liked immensely. Thank you!

From Dave - White Plains

Throughout my time searching for a place to live, I came across many relators, but none as amazing as John Oliveri. He was understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, trusting, and became a friend during the process. I highly recommend John as a real-estate agent! Thank you!

From Thomas Novembre, Manhattan

John Oliveri is an outstanding broker! He has an intimate knowledge of our building and provided quarterly reports on the local markets so we could gauge when best to sell. He was always accessible and open to giving us guidance, even when we occasionally inquired years before putting the unit up for sale. In other words, he helped us many times before we even retained him for services. Once we hired him to sell our apartment, he tirelessly helped us navigate a very challenging rental tenant and get through numerous demands by the buyers, John always remained calm and professional. He also connected us with outside contractors and an attorney familiar with the property, making the transaction smoother. I would definitely recommend John to anyone buying or selling property in the New Rochelle area!

From Andy T.

John has been a long time partner for dealing with all transactions related to the Trump condo, and very knowledgeable and always willing to help. I had a very good experience dealing with John and only John who serve as the central point of contact throughout my entire sales experience.
