When we were looking to move out of NYC and buy our first home, we went with Ginos team based on a friends recommendation. We also went to several open houses on our own, and when we said we were working with Gino, the reactions from the showing agents made it obvious that hes quite the bigwig in the industry. Ginos wife was very pregnant/had a baby while we were in the process, so we mostly dealt with his colleague and good friend Gerry. We really liked Gerry. We jokingly called him the Dreamkiller because he would point out things that we should be wary of that could bite us (or cost us lots of money) down the road. We really liked that he was looking out for us rather than trying to make a quick sale. Once we found the house, Gerry recommended how to proceed to make the offer and navigated through some shenanigans the seller played. They recommend a bunch of great people too. We went with the mortgage servicer he recommended, who held our hand through every step and made it go through without a hitch. I hear so much about closings being stressful and issues coming up, but this guy made it completely smooth (and our lawyer, who was great and reasonably priced and also came based on Gerrys recommendation, said hes never had an issue closing on a house that our mortgage guy handled). He even recommended an agent for homeowners insurance, and we got a rate from him (also got an auto policy) that was far below every other quote we got. Heck, were having renovations done and after meeting with several contractors, were using the guy Gerry recommended (someone he arranged to have meet us at a house that we werent even really interested in, but that needed some updating that other houses we might see might need, just so we would know what would be involved in possible future renovations). Our monthly mortgage/tax payment is less than the rent on NYC apartments we considered. And we have equity. And a yard (and a swingset, and a sandbox, and a garden...). I highly recommend Ginos team to anyone making the move.

Gino Bello and his associate Gerry Magnarelli are by far the best realtors I couldve ever asked for. I was looking to relocate from Brooklyn to White Plains, and they helped me to purchase my first place. From the beginning it was apparent that they were very passionate and knowledgeable about their job. They were honest, patient, and anticipated my needs when I didnt know that they even existed yet. My journey to home ownership was plagued by some hurdles; some seen and others that left me feeling devastated. As a result, there were many times I wondered wether to just throw in the towel. They never let me do that though. They worked tirelessly on my behalf, always keeping in touch with me to see how things were going. One of the things that I appreciated was that they made me feel valuable as a buyer and not just another potential sale to them. They took the time to get to know me, both on a professional and personal level.I love the tight knit crew that they have established. I never once felt stressed, or out of my element thinking that Im moving to a new place and basically dont know anyone. They recommended some of the greatest people that Ive had the pleasure of working with- Frank, Adele, and John just to name a few. Even after my purchase, I can still call them with any questions/ concerns and not feel like Im being a bother. It was truly my pleasure working with them. Theyll be my agents for life. Would never dare work with anyone else!- Camille Hamilton

As we interacted with Gino in our search for a house, it quickly became clear why Gino was so good at what he did. His aim was not to just sell us a house, but to ensure we got the house of our dreams. During the entire search process, he never hesitated to advise us on what would work and what would not be a prudent choice for us. He was very knowledgeable on locational benefits, taxes, hidden costs, electrics etc. As we walked through houses in our search, it was comforting to observe Gino watch our expressions as we looked at houses as he tried to understand what we really needed and not just what we were able to articulate. At times when we struggled to make a decision, he made it easier with his response of "maybe this has everything youre looking for, but I dont think youve fallen in love yet, we need to keep looking". Today, thanks to Gino we are living in our dream house.

This is the second time I have dealt with Gino Bello. The first time I was the buyer and the second time I was the seller. Both times the transactions went very smoothly. Gino and the entire staff at Gino Bello Homes are extremely very knowledgeable and professional. They answered all of my questions and concerns and were always available to take my call or answer a text message. I have complete confidence that I received the best advice and achieved the best available sale or purchase price. In addition, Gino recommended the attorney, Frank Salvi, who handled the closing. I would not even consider using another realtor in the future and would highly recommend Gino and his associate Gerry Magnarelli.

Gino and his team are absolutely fantastic. Their knowledge of the Westchester market is unparalleled, and they are extremely supportive and responsive through every step of the sales process. This was our first experience buying/selling real estate and Gino/Gerry made it very easy for us. We were selling a relatively old house, and despite that had over 20 showings in the first week and multiple offers shortly thereafter. Dont think this wouldve been possible without their dedication. I would highly recommend Gino and his team for anybody looking to buy or sell their home.

Gino Bello, Gerry Magnarelli and staff are absolute Westchester real estate superstars! Having both worked with them personally and referred them on multiple occasions now, its easy to see why the Gino Bello team is a leader in the Westchester real estate market. They bring the experience, (many transactions handled) diligence and expert marketing and negotiating skills you need when you are buying or selling a home.

Now that I have become a member of the team I understand the true professionalism that Gino shows to his clients and colleagues. From beginning of the transaction until after the sale is completed he treated each client as if they were his only client. This is why he has so many satisfied clients and repeat business and recommendations!
