I was new to Malta, having moved my two daughters and canine children to the island mid-2023. As a single parent, purchasing a 2B family home, albeit within a stretched budget given how heated the real estate market is in 2023, was top on my priority list.
I met many realtors, both from registered and regulated entities (eg Frank Salt, Re-Max) and from sole-traders/brokers (eg Sensara.) It became quickly apparent that "you pay for what you get" and that I was wasting considerable time and effort viewing properties that had no potential vis a vis my specific needs. I needed to hitch my wagon to a realtor who was resolutely professional and in the real estate industry as a career and not as an opportunistic side-gig to make a quick commission from. I also needed a realtor who knew the market thoroughly, who took the time to listen to my needs and wants, but who was able to critically (and diplomatically) counter-argue pros and cons of properties, to assist me in reaching an informed decision. Moreover, I needed a realtor who was not pushy and self-serving, but one who appreciated the largesse of the decision I was making, and who would give me the time to reflect on options, equip me with information that I needed, and to allow me the space to digest all the data points.
All of this I found in Ms Schevon Camilleri. It was a wonderful and reassuring moment for me when I realised that I found a realtor who was my equal - my partner in this enormous journey of finding a suitable, within-budget, home for my small family, as a single parent of two young daughters, factoring in safety, schools and proximity to work.
Within several weeks, having seen probably around 20 homes of varying stages of disrepair, Schevon and I honed in on a viable property. Every step of the way, she guided me, patiently and intelligently, to the Promise of Sale. To date, Schevon continues to hand-hold, reminding me of what is required, when, how and why. She is the Jiminy Cricket and I the Pinocchio.
I can only recommend Schevon with the highest 5-star rating, but ultimately, the proof is in the pudding. Only when you, the reader of this testimonial, embark on his journey with Schevon, will he realise what a great partner you have in her, walking with you every step of the way, directing you around proverbial pot-holes and bumps in the road, and quietly and diplomatically standing by whilst you make your informed decision.
Great experience - frankly, I doubt that I will work with any other realtor than Schevon in the future. She and Re-Max come highly recommended.
