2/19/2015 Phil Raices is the best realtor I have ever met and with whom I had the pleasure to work. Phil sold my parents house back in 1996, when no other realtor would touch it. He came in and helped them clean up the house, got it ready for showing, gave emotional support, and sold their house. When it came time to sell my house in 2014, (knowing how terrific Phil was, but being swayed by friends who said to go with a realtor who had a great closing record),I went with the other realtor. What a mistake! She did anything but sell my house for me, she didn't give me great advice, and when I realized she wasn't working for me, I switched to Phil Raices. What a smart move on my part, albeit a little later than it should've been. Phil came in, priced my house at the correct amount, gave me the emotional support I certainly needed by then, and sold my house! I'm just sorry I didn't have him sell my house in the first place, because it certainly would have sold months before it did. All I can say is that hindsight is 20/20. Based...

Thank you Barbara

Phil Raices exceeded all our expectations in renting our apartment. HIs clients must be numerous, based on how many showings there were and how quickly they occurred. Because of this, we ended up renting (our apartment) to a wonderful tenant who fit our needs perfectly. We ran into a few issues that were our responsbility to address. Phil expedited solutions based on his many longstanding contacts in the community. We didn't expect it, but Phil made calls on our behalf, put us in touch with (the right helpful) people. We would not have been able to rent our apartment as quickly without his help. Phil did not stand to get a very large commission in helping us, yet we felt we were important to him. We felt he cared to understand and respect our wishes. He was patient with us, courteous and kind, which is not always the case these days. (It seems) the way he treated us is based on an excellent work ethic and overall positive personality. Thank you Phil, you really did right by us! We appreciate you!

Hi Phil, hope you're doing well. We actually just got our internet up on Monday, so even though we're still living among the boxes, things are actually feeling a bit more normal. Anyway: After searching on the internet for months, combing through the different realtors in Queens and Nassau county, as well as endless craiglist apartment postings without making any real progress, we were lucky enough to call Phil at Turn Key realty. Phil was kind, courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable about the areas we were interested in, considering our economic parameters. His advice, patience, and persistence helped my wife and I find a wonderful, quiet, and inexpensive place that we love and are happy to call home. If and when we move again, I'll be certain to call Phil at Turn Key Realty. Give us a call if you'd like to swing by and see what we've done with the place!

Thank you Pete

Hello Phil. It has been a while. We have been doing a great deal of travel for work and leisure. I hope this testimonial is not too late. Thanks again for all your work. On a Sunday in 1998 while looking to purchase an apartment in Great Neck, I walked into Turnkey Real Estate and met Phil. During the following weeks, Phil patiently showed me many properties that met my criteria. He insisted however, that I should also consider a house. I agreed, and shortly after, I found what would become a project of love and my dream home. Ten years later, when facing relocation due to work, I had to put my house on the market. There was only one person I would consider to assist me with this task; someone who knew the house and all it had meant to me, and that was Phil. This time, Phil had to be very persevering due to market conditions. He diligently showed my house, held open houses, and was there to answer questions, and guide me. I am sure he missed many family affairs during this time. He sold my house within six months. I am very grateful to Phil...

The sale of my apartment could not have gone smoother. Phil Raices found a qualified buyer to purchase my apartment. He was always there to answer any questions I had and guided me through the entire process. When I am ready to sell my next property, I will be calling Phil!

Please allow me a few mintues to express my gratitude for helping me find my very first rental. I am so impressed by how detail-oriented you are and by how much personal attention I received. You answered any and all of the questions I had, continuously followed up with the other parties involved (i.e. the owner and co-op's board), and alwasy kept me updated on where things were. You made the process very comfortable and easy for me! I whole-heartedly recommend your services to friends and family. in the near future, when I will be looking to by property, I know where to go. Thank you again
