I recently worked with Rita on the sale of our home and I would recommend her whole-heartedly. She is extremely professional yet completely down to earth and very easy to work with. Her expertise helped guide us in making subtle and cost effective design changes that helped bring multiple offers. And she’s not only one of the top agents on the North Fork, she is an incredibly gifted artist! At closing, she painted an ornament with a beautiful winterscape of the adorable home we sold. It was very touching and will be cherished for years to come.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rita. I met with a few brokers and knew immediately after meeting Rita that I wanted to work with her. She really helped me navigate a difficult situation in selling a house that was left to me and where I do not live in the immediate area. Rita’s professionalism in getting the best outcome for her clients was apparent from my first encounter through the entire process.

Working with Rita is always a pleasure. Rita provides an unparalleled level of service, dedication and professionalism. She will move heaven and earth to ensure that your selling experience is nothing less than stellar. We have used Rita for multiple transactions and will continue to do so as our only "go to" agent on the North Fork. A true "Gem" in the Real Estate Industry.

Working with Rita has been a true pleasure. I spoke with a few brokers in the area before deciding that Rita was the right one to go with, and that’s a decision that I’m incredibly happy with. Throughout the whole process she exceeded my expectations - always available and great at communicating. She was always pushing for the right outcome - and she delivered on that for me and my wife. If you’re looking for a broker that’s going to represent your interests and excel in service - Rita is your real estate person. Thank you so much, Rita!

Hi Rita, Now that the closing is finally complete I just wanted you to know that I recognize and appreciate your work through the process. Especially giving up your holiday to help and support me. That was way above and beyond what you needed to do. You are unique and I guess as much as I want to say more just know that I truly thank you.”

My sister, Karen had passed away in March and the task of selling her house fell on my brother and myself.. We did not know any Real Estate Agent's at the time, so I called in 3 different agents and we are so happy that we chose Rita Rooney to help us. She was so knowledgeable and always had our best interest in mind. She also was the best prepared with comp sales in the Greenport area, which helped us to establish a fair asking price.
After setting our asking price, Rita went above and beyond to help prepare the house for the upcoming open house . She actually helped us with cleaning and eliminating some furniture to make the house look less cluttered. She then did a fabulous job of staging the house with much of her own items. The result of the open house was 7 offers, 6 of which far exceeded our asking price and we were able to close approximately one month later. A perfect transaction, made possible with Rita's help. At the closing, Rita presented me with 3 beautiful framed paintings as a memory of my sister Karen's house. One for my Mom, one for my brother and one for myself.
If you have the need for a trustworthy, professional Real Estate
Agent, contact Rita Rooney at Elliman, you will not be disappointed.Thank you, Rita . ( Also, thanks to Rita's husband who also helped us with moving furniture ). So glad to have met Rita and now consider her a friend.

My wife and I were trying to purchase a home and luckily found Ms. Rita Rooney. As most recent home buyers have experienced, the inventory of available homes was limited and demand from other buyers high. This made making a offer and obtaining acceptance of that offer difficult at best.
Ms. Rooney made navigating the buying process as easy as possible. From finding, showing, negotiating, inspections, survey snd closing, she was always there for us. She went above and beyond what many real estate agents would provide, patience with us included.
My wife and I would not hesitate recommending Ms. Rooney and her professionalism to any of out acquaintances.

Working with Rita was a pleasure. Her professionalism, attention to detail and honesty has made the process of renting our apartment effortless. She was pro-active in showing the apartment, responding immediately to concerns and always with a positive and energetic attitude. As an owner of multiple properties on the North Fork, Rita is now "our" Realtor for future transactions. We look forward to working with her again!

We cannot thank you enough for all the support, dedication and wisdom you provided us with through the home search and buying process.
Every time we had a question, concern or just needed someone to bounce ideas off of, you were there. You truly have a love and passion for what you do and it shows. Thank you for being such a blessing to us during this exciting and life changing time in our lives.

Rita is an outstanding real estate agent. She went above and beyond for my family and found us the perfect home. She found us an amazing deal and was able to negotiate the price for us to be able to afford our new house. She was super helpful and responsive and we made the best choice by using her as our agent. She had our best interest in mind and even gifted us with a beautiful painting of our new home."

Very responsive, creative and experienced. But without any ego or pretense. She didn’t hesitate to advise but was in no way “pushy.” She is all about the customers and a pleasure to work with.

Rita helped my wife and I in the purchase of our first house all the way from the early steps to the final closing. She was always available for us with suggestions and giving us the right advice.

My mother asked me to post this review. She spoke very highly of Rita the entire time of selling her house
After receiving a great recommendation from a friend, I decided on Rita Rooney @ Douglas Elliman to sell my house in Southold. It was the best decision for me. She dipped into her artistic creativity and staged the house to give it the appeal it needed. It was an older home in need of upgrading and she embraced the charm and history to its fullest.
Rita was instrumental in the continuity and coordinating with my attorney to make sure everything went smoothly from the listing to contract to closing. She was always available for whatever questions I had.
I recommend Rita highly to anyone looking for a realtor with a "hands on" personal and professional touch.
