We would not hesitate to use George Maolakos again as a broker. We have both bought and sold homes with George and from start to finish each transaction was handled professionally and with superior expertise. He brought quantifiable value, and handled us fairly and honestly. We would recommend him to any buyer or seller without reservation.

My agent, George Manolakos was very knowledgeable of my home's value and other comparable homes in the area. He put together a marketing plan and asking price that resulted in a successful sale. This plan included a brochure containing home specifications, features, and photos that well described the home to prospective buyers. George arranged and conducted several open house events to generate buyer traffic during a slow market time. His personal commitment to the home was evident as he pointed out its many features to visitors. George makes you feel like a friend he is helping, not just a business agent. A very rewarding experience for both buyer and seller.

George Manolakes is a remarkable agent. He is responsible, honest, and has lots of experience. He knows what potential problems a house he sees may have and would alert us immediately. We had to take virtual tours of the houses, while George was happy to do all the extra work involved with Facetime and video-taking. There were always risks when we couldn't see the houses in person, while George helped us purchase a house we did not find any problems we weren't previously aware of after living here for a month. We are so grateful to have George as our realtor!

We picked George to sell our home based on his in-depth knowledge of our local real estate market. He was spot on with setting an aggressive list price. Sale took place almost immediately (took a day). George presented us with the multiple offers and helped determine the right one for us. He followed through on the paperwork and details leading to the closing. Overall one of our most pleasant (no surprises) real estate transactions in years.

Our experience with Manolakos home could not have been better. George did a terrific job marketing our home. He was attentive, professional, personable and above all--prepared. Selling our home in the middle of a pandemic was cause for concern but George assured us that he could market and sell the home, which he did--in less than 2 weeks and at full asking price. He developed a solid marketing plan for the house and because we were moving out of the area, he even represented us at the closing. I would highly recommend George to anyone looking to sell their home.

Even after I put in an offer George continued to support me in the process and answered my never ending stream of questions and concerns such as in the inspection of the home. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with George and I will absolutely be referring him to all of my friends and family going forward.

George guided me through the sale of my home with absolute professionalism. I can’t recommend him strongly enough. When I decided to put my home on the market, I solicited pitches from the top reviewed agents in my area. Out of the five I met, George was clearly the best, and I could tell from our first meeting that he was not only passionate and committed to his work, but experienced and deeply knowledgeable as well. With George’s help and contacts, I got my home ready to sell with a fresh makeover inside and out in less than six weeks. George Manolakos sold my house the FIRST DAY. All through the process of completing the sale he was punctual, responsive, and committed. He saw everything through to the very end despite issues with the buyer and put in amazing work. George’s services as an agent are a full expedience. He’ll be with you from the start to the finish and when he makes a promise he can deliver on it. Hire. This. Agent.

My husband and I are both commercial brokers, so we are well acquainted with the process of using a broker and the criteria of a good broker. When we decided to move out of state we searched the web and reviewed the resumes of a number of top Delaware brokers. In comparing their accomplishments, we felt George Manolakos of Patterson-Schwartz was the most accomplished, and his performance throughout the transaction showed that evaluation to be well founded. He is professional, knowledgable, personable and patient. We were very happy and would not hesitate to recommend George and Patterson-Schwartz.

My wife and I were very anxious in the beginning since we were convinced the market value of the home was very low. George persuaded us to list the home at an amount higher than I thought was possible because he believed the market was strong. After an offer was made, he encouraged us to counter in a way that resulted in a subsequent higher offer. My wife and I understand if not for George, we would have sold the home for much less.

From the first interview, George was the realtor that had the highest estimate of the home's worth. He was able to clearly detail why it was worth more than the other realtors suggested, and who to market to as potential buyers. He was also the only realtor that took the time to look back to when the last truly comparable property sold, to get a true estimate. When it was put on the market, he took the time to educate other realtors as to why the house commanded the value it did. When the first offer was made, it was insulting low, partly because the other realtor had not actually even bothered to visit the house. George again took the time to correct the misperceptions, and they accepted the counter offer. After the inspection, George again educated the other realtor about the legal validity of what was suggested, preventing a loss in value based on false pretenses. Through the whole process, George has been great to work with, and his experience has saved me greatly in lost value.
