About Elsafy Team

Essam Elsafy

Like choosing your life partner, choosing your Realtor is an important decision. The qualities you desire in any relationship are the same ones that you need in your Realtor.  Mutual respect, honesty, laughter, more listening-less talking, and the knowledge that we will always be there for each other; those are the hallmarks of every healthy relationship. These are the qualities that I live by. These are the qualities that I want us to have. When we become real estate partners you will always know, Essam will take care of me.

What clients are saying...

This is a well organized group of people. Each one knows their job and gets it done. They informed me when things were going to be done and all I had to do was sign on the bottom line.

- Kathleen M. C

Truly excellent. Everything went very smoothly, from locating our new condo right through closing. Any questions that came up were answered promptly and completely. Many thanks to Essam for helping us find and purchase our new home. Tom and Beverly McDermott

I can't say enough good things about Essam and his commitment to his clients. He is very professional but also so warm, caring and committed to his client. He goes above and beyond in any way he can help. I highly recommend him and his team.

Essam was more than accommodating and a pleasure to work with on our real estate transaction. His answers to our questions were both timely and clear. Thank you for a pleasant, professional and friendly experience.

- Carol S. Larson

I cant say enough good things about Mr. Elsafy and his team! He is knowledgable, responsive, kind, thorough and all around an amazing person and realtor. He was available to answer any questions even when he was out of town and took the time to explain things in a manner that made sense. He was a fierce advocate for me as the buyer and was very effective in all his negotiations. The house buying process can be very stressful but I felt extremely supported by him the entire time.

- Simin Golestani

My experience was definitely a five star one. I'm so appreciative of the prompt responses I received when I had questions and Essam's ability to talk me down when I felt anxious. I realize his expertise was invaluable. The office staff is excellent. I was always comfortable asking for clarifications as the end date drew near.
