Larry Theodore understands the market better than anyone. The house was sold in 4 days. During that time 25 people came and saw the house and we got 13 offers. The house sold for $55,000 over list. During the entire process Larry's service was the best and he was fun to work with.

He has many connections to help the whole process move quickly and he's very proactive to handle any problems that come up. The sale went smooth. One major issue and Larry swiftly solved it and organized the solution. I would not hesitate to recommend Larry. He was always there for us! He was very accessible and always got back to us right away. Larry will work hard to make the sale happen and keep his customer happy

I am happy to provide a testimonial about the exceptional work of Larry Theodore as a real estate agent. From my personal experience, I can confidently say that Larry is a true professional who takes his job seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure the satisfaction of his clients. I remember when I was a kid, my family was considering selling our home and we were introduced to Larry. From the moment we met him, we were impressed by his warmth, knowledge, and professionalism. Even though we didn't end up selling the home back in the 90s, Larry remained in touch with us and sent us poinsettias around the holidays every year. Fast forward to over 20 years later, when my family finally decided to sell the home, we knew exactly who to call - Larry Theodore. He was still the same person we had met all those years ago, and his dedication and commitment to his clients were still evident. We were amazed when our home sold within 48 hours of listing it, and we knew that it was all thanks to Larry's expertise and hard work. I cannot recommend Larry Theodore highly enough. He is a true professional who takes pride in his work and truly cares about his clients. His years of experience, knowledge of the real estate market, and excellent communication skills make him a top-notch agent who will get the job done right. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Larry Theodore.

Larry Theodore showed genuine concern with my specific situation as I was selling my families home and having to deal with family barking orders the whole way through and just a highly sensitive sale.

We initially hired an agent from another Real Estate Agency that was recommended to us from a trusted and highly reputable source. As a result, unfortunately, we did not do our due diligence in seeking other agents because we trusted our source. Upon giving this agent our listing it became evident from the beginning there was a problem. From lack of communication to having to ask for basic tools in selling our home such as a for sale sign, lock box and what marketing strategy was to be implemented it was a disaster. This agent did not want to provide any of the necessary options and tools to sell our home. Upon being educated throughout this process we found out that a real estate agent who sells homes has to be willing to invest a lot of time and money in various ways to sell a home. It was an extremely traumatizing, exhausting and stressful experience dealing with this agent. After several months out of pure desperation we terminated our contract with this agent.

Larry reevaluated our home and used every strategy available to him to market our home properly. He immediately relisted our home taking into consideration the correct market value of our home and then supplied the necessities required in every way to sell and market our home. In addition to having open houses every weekend he advertised our home on social media and we were on the front page of newspapers throughout every area that he could advertise. As far as communication Larry was available to us immediately on any questions or concerns 24/7. No matter what time day or night Larry was there for us. His personality is a delight and also his emotional support throughout this stressful process of selling a home was constant. We relied on his expertise when prospective buyers became available and he was 100% correct on his advice. As a result, we sold our home in a relatively short period of time.

It was a pleasure to work with Larry Theodore and appreciated how he worked to sell our home. He was always polite and was always available to us.

Larry has made our transition to the next chapter in our lives extremely easy and stress free. we would highly recommend him and the team to our family and friends. Thank You Larry !

Larry was very helpful in a quick estate sale of a family home. We had over 30 offers for the house in the first week. Larry was involved every step of the way right into closing.

Larry is the ultimate professional. He helped us navigate what could have been a difficult sale. He responded to communications quickly and was able to anticipate problems as well as find ways to creatively solve them. He is friendly, polite, and respectful.

Thank you Larry for all the great work you did for us, we were in a difficult family situation and you helped us to overcome all the obstacles in selling our house. Larry was patient with us and made the selling process streamlined and a surprisingly pleasant experience. His years of expertise in selling houses on Long Island definitely helped as he was able to market the house towards buyers who were keen on purchasing the house for not only its location but its amenities. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone who wants a great selling experience and top-dollar for their home.

I was so happy that Larry Theodore was my sales agent. I have worked with other agents before, but Larry is definitely the best agent I have ever worked with. From beginning to end, he was in constant communication. He advised me throughout the whole process. There are real estate agents and then there is Larry Theodore. No one can come close to his experience and impressive knowledge of the market.

Larry provided us with everything we needed and were looking for! He went above and beyond our expectations. Anyone needing to sell their home should hire Larry!

It's Larry! The man is a Farmingdale legend! Seriously, just drive around the town and look at the "Sold" signs. Everyone at CBAH is great, but if you're listing a house just call Larry!

My Husband and I were truly blessed to have Larry as an agent. We have never sold a home before and he was able to sell it in a WEEK! With a professional and friendly approach he made every part enjoyable and a pleasure to work with. We cannot thank Larry enough for all his help with the process and made it as stress free as possible. THANK YOU LARRY!!!

Very professional Very aggressive and always on top of things excellent knowledge and experience I would definitely use him in the future Completely satisfied

I made an inquiry on line through the coldwell banker website directly to Larry. He called me the next day. He asked me how we came to seek out his services and I told him we just knew of him from advertisements received in the mail and by seeing his name on a sign then a sold sign shortly after. I didn't care what it cost, just knowing that he is good at what he does is why we chose him. His knowledge of our town of Farmingdale was key and very important to us! Larry's communication with us throughout the process was excellent. After having sold a home on our own previously and the amount of work it was we just couldn't handle that this time. I cannot say enough about how smooth the process was from start to finish. We are so pleased with the outcome of our sale and how attentive Larry was throughout the entire process. Anyone in Farmingdale should seek out his services if they want to sell their home, it makes it a much less painful process having Larry by your side. Take Larry's advice, this man knows what he is talking about, we did and we were not sorry!

We lived in Farmingdale, NY for almost 40 years and always heard great things from friends and neighbors who bought/sold homes in our area through Larry Theodore. So when the time came for us to sell our Farmingdale house we called Larry, and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! Larry is extremely professional, easy to work with, and on top of his game! After Larry’s first visit to our home, he had our house photographed, listed and SOLD (for above asking price) in less than a week!! Larry Theodore took care of absolutely everything: he streamlined the entire process, and made it super-easy for us! Thanks to Larry’s help and efficiency we are now enjoying our retirement in sunny Florida much sooner than we expected!

Larrys extensive experience and comprehensive knowledge of the housing market allowed for the smooth and speedy sale of my home . Very pleased with the amount of money obtained for my home with very little cash outlay on my part.

I called Larry as I have seen his name on house sale signs for many years. I had no prior knowledge of Larry. As previously stated, Larry is the BEST. First best decision I made was to sell my home, Second best decision was to call Larry Theodore. When I called Larry I had been in my house for 42 years and had limited knowledge of selling a house or anything about the process. I was comfortable with Larry the first time he came into my home and throughout the selling process. Larry put me in touch with the BEST people for my needs, Ed Molloy and Camillo Giannattasio attorneys, Bob Schumacher Permit Services, Lori Murphy to help me find a condo to purchase, Jim Edelmann protected me during the entire home inspection process, Tom Nycz who added a chimney cap to my house. The staff in Larrys' office were very friendly and supportive. Larry dotted every i and crossed every t and kept me informed every step of the way during the entire selling process. The BEST!

Larry sold me this house back in 1996, so it was fitting that I went right back to Larry to now sell my house. Larry is professional always gets back to you and just a nice guy to work with. The sale of my home was seamless because of Larry. I would recommend Larry as your number one realtor

Larry was a great agent. My wife and I had a lot on our plate around the time we were selling our home and Larry handled many tasks relating to the sale so we could focus on other more important matters. We were very happy with the sale process as well as the ultimate outcomes of the deal. We definitely recommend using Larry.

It is with great pleasure I write this testimonial for Larry Theodore of Coldwell Banker. I had the pleasure of knowing Larry for many years in our community. His reputation was always unsurpassed, however, having had the pleasure to work with him opened a whole new perspective on my already high regard for him. Selling my home was a very emotional experience for me. I always knew I would use Larry as my agent if and when the time came. He met with me early on, went over all the necessary information, and gave me plenty of good advice, leaving no stone unturned. I always felt secure knowing he was behind me. His knowledge is impressive, along with his attention to detail. He followed up with me constantly. If I ever had a question, he always responded immediately, as if I were his only customer. He is always a total gentleman, very kind, and treated me with the utmost respect and compassion. It finally came the day to list. My house was put on the market late on a Thursday afternoon. By Monday morning, I had 12 offers, most all over asking price. He negotiated each offer, and kept me apprised during the process. He took care of all matters, (buyer, agents, mortgage broker). The only thing I had to do was show up for closing. Working with Larry, was by far, one of the best decisions I've ever made. I will continue to refer Larry to anyone I know with real estate needs. His reputation precedes him. Not only were all my expectations surpassed with Larry in my corner, but I also made a friend. All the best to you Larry! You are a blessing to all of us!

I would recommend Larry Theodore to anyone. Very nice man. Was always in contact with me. Good salesman.

Larry is outstanding. He made the entire process easy. He is a true professional and simply the best.

Larry Was wonderful to work with. Always, Always stayed in touch and answered all my questions. Would use him again!

Larry sold our townhouse in 1998, when we moved into our home. Both my wife and I followed his real estate presence in the Farmingdale market over the years, and we never considered listing our home with anyone else. Larry is extremely knowledgeable within the Farmingdale real estate market, and his track record of success in the local market is an invaluable asset when looking for help in selling your home.

Larry was a pleasure to work with on the sale of my home. Very the first moment we met till the closing, he was always available by phone, email and text to answer any questions we had. He sold my house within 2 weeks that I thought would take longer. He is a miracle worker. He also sold my father's house and had the same experience. I highly recommend Larry! Best decision I made with the sale.

Larry was very proactive and kept in touch with us periodically over the years. He did not need much ramp up time once we decided to use him as our broker. Larry was especially responsive at each stage of the selling process; always getting back to us without delay. He accommodated our requests to include several family members on appropriate communications between us as we each had our role in assisting our mother in this, at times, emotional process involving her/our home of 50 years.

Larry Theodore was very professional in every aspect of our interactions. He clearly knows the business and made a difficult process (the sale of our recently deceased mother's home) a lot less painful. We would recommend Larry Theodore in a heartbeat, as he has the expertise needed to sell a house quickly for the best price, as well as the compassion and trustworthiness to make the seller feel comfortable during a major life event.

Why would I ever chose anyone else for selling a house in Farmingdale? Larry is a people person, he knows the business and his recommendation of how to market my property was spot on.

Visiting and living in Farmingdale for over 30 years I have watched many homes go up for sale and sold within a very short time frame. All the homes had "SOLD - Larry Theodore" on them. It is amazing how one agent can have so many listings and when you speak to people in the neighborhood they highly recommend Larry Theodore. We met with Larry Theodore on a Monday morning and the house was on the market the following day with photos. Larry met with my family and explained in detail everything we needed to know. He called daily to give updates and kept us apprised of all offers that were on the table. He even managed to come in with offers that were over $50K the asking price. Honestly, my wife and I felt like we stepped back in time when clients were treated with utmost respect. When you asked us to complete the survey to help you do better, I felt that there was honestly nothing better Larry could have done for us. He went above and beyond to make this sale and keep us happy and informed along the way. Very rare find these days. There was nothing that we asked Larry that he was unable to answer. His response time to any questions we had was outstanding. Never had to ask a question twice. Outstanding Customer Service. If there were ever a need to sell another home, even outside of the Farmingdale area, I would contact Larry for his support. A wonderful experience by an outstanding team.

Larry was amazing there is nothing to say but best in the industry compared to my previous brokers I had. My family owes him a debt of gratitude

Larry did a great job from start to finish. Thank you Larry!

It was a pleasure having Larry as our broker. He was always very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. He would promptly return phone calls and emails. I will highly recommend him to anyone.

We were very satisfied with Larry Theodore and happy with the outcome of the sale of the house.

Larry has knowledge of the area as if he lived here. He was energetic, met you in person, was available, returned calls immediately, had answers to all questions, resources and advice when needed, and he was patient listening to family issues and needs. He was a friend throughout the entire process.

Larry is very knowledgeable and thorough in his approach to selling our home. We had initially engaged other brokers who disappointed us. Larry used his skills and connections to sell our home and get the price we were seeking for the sale of our home.

Larry listened to all my needs , gave us great advice and followed through to the end! He helped with the inspection and walk through and was always on time!!! He was always patient and understanding during the whole process! Thank you Larry for your professionalism and always being so kind!

Did more than he had to. Walked us thru whole process.Always got in touch with us with all information.Never more than one phone call if him to respond.Would definitely recommend him to everyone

Larry Theodore was knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire process. I tried to sell my home on my own and the deal fell through because of the appraisal. Listing it with Larry I had some concerns/anxiety about closing a deal, Larry was understanding and reassuring that he would handle every aspect of the sale and he did just that! After my first meeting with Larry, I was confident he would get the job done! I would 100% recommend Larry to friends and family in the area.

I see Larry Theodore signs all over and knew I wanted Larry because I knew he could/would sell my house. Larry was/is the best. He gave me great advice. He walked me through the whole process of selling (I’d never sold a house before). He was always available to answer any questions I had. He recommended a great lawyer also. He was with me start to finish. I had a great experience and know it was due to having an experienced agent, Larry Theodore. He knows the area so well and really knows this business. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone selling their house.

Larry Theodore is a terrific real estate broker. He makes the entire process very smooth. Highly recommended.

I had interviewed other brokers. I chose Larry Theodore over the others, based on his record of sales and decades of experience, specifically in this area where I had lived for 43 years. My belief was that no one knew the Farmingdale market better. Larry was professional, communicative, and highly responsive. My gut told me that he was a streetwise go getter, willing to do whatever it took to get the job done and close the deal. He did, and all the while having to navigate the difficult circumstances of having to comply with the excessive requirements NYS had placed on the real estate industry due to Covid. Additionally, this was residential rental property with tenant issues, in need of add'l permits, etc..., that I was selling while living in CA. Larry provided me with valuable resources to help address the different issues and worked very well with my property managers, supplying them with everything needed in order to comply with all of the Covid requirements. Larry's marketing strategy in the end paid off very well as I realized a higher final sale price than expected. He was efficient and made the process less stressful. The bottom line is that I would recommend Larry to other sellers.

Larry priced my home perfectly and his strategy got me multiple offer situation.

Larry Theodore is the best broker in Farmingdale Larry kept me fully informed and was always immediately available Larry Theodore sold the house right away for a substantial premium over the asking price There is nothing else to say. Larry exceeded all expectations Larry, as always, does the best job you could imagine. The only thing I could add is that Larry should be instructing the sales staffs, not just of real estate brokers, but any company, in how to be the most professional and effective sales person you can possibly be.
