"Angelica and her team made us feel like family. They protected us through the whole process, especially when the inspection revealed issues we didn’t see. Thanks to DFREL, we got the house we loved at the right price!"
"As a first-time buyer using an ITIN loan, I was nervous about the process. DFREL walked me through financing, inspections, and closing with patience and care. Truly a bilingual team you can trust!"
"I have known Angelica DelliCarpini since 2021, as she has been my family's realtor for both residential purchases and fix-and-flip investments. As a first-time buyer using an ITIN loan, Angelica helped me connect with the right loan officer, who guided me through the approval process. She patiently walked me through negotiations, closing, and all the related details. I am very satisfied with her service and will continue to rely on Angelica for any of my real estate needs."
Why Hire a Buyer’s Agent vs. Going Direct to Seller?
Thinking about buying a home without an agent?
Here’s what you need to know:
With DFREL as Your Buyer’s Agent
Representation: You have a licensed professional advocating for YOUR best interests.
Negotiations: We fight to get you the best price, repairs, and terms.
Contracts & Legal: We protect you from risky contracts and legal pitfalls.
Inspections & Repairs: We guide you through inspections and help negotiate repairs.
Peace of Mind: Full guidance, no guesswork, less stress.
Without an Agent (Going Direct)
Representation: The seller and their agent look out for themselves, not you.
Negotiations: You negotiate alone with no expert advice.
Contracts & Legal: You risk signing confusing or unfavorable contracts.
Inspections & Repairs: You handle inspections and repairs alone.
Peace of Mind: High stress, high risk, limited protection.
