Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec and Associates

Fantastic experience: Christie was always available to us as a buyers agent. She would squeeze us into her busy schedule any way she could.

Fantastic experience: Christie D was with us every step of the way. Very communicative and knowledgeable. Always available for showings. She went above and beyond- she even found and sent US the link to what would be our first home. She set up a showing immediately & not even an hour later we were touring the house. We wouldn't be in the beautiful home we're in today if it weren't for her. I recommend her to any and everyone I get the opportunity to.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to share how great of an experience it was to work with Gretchen Nace! We had a mutual client and we worked together flawlessly. The transaction was not the easiest but Gretchen was always available for a phone call, text, or email to discuss options. Gretchen’s help and dedication to her job and clients showed while we were getting our clients into their new home. I would highly recommend Gretchen and refer business to her. Thank you Gretchen. Matt Deknatel - Mortgage originator ESL

Fantastic experience: Working with Gretchen was a dream! We had a dual closing which was a lot to keep track of. Her knowledge was helpful and we appreciated her taking the time to explain parts of the process we were unsure of. Grateful!

Fantastic experience: Sarah McCrackan with Elysian Homes was excellent working with my daughter to find her a home that fit into her budget and space that she was looking for and also with the amenities she desired. It was a joy working with Sarah..

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful for Becky at Elysian Homes! As a first-time homebuyer who was also doing this on my own, I needed someone like her to help guide me through this process. She really knows her stuff and was the perfect fit! Becky was great at proactively sending me houses to check out and also quickly scheduling tours for those I was interested in seeing. I super appreciated her feedback about each house we looked at. She was really good at balancing letting me come to my own conclusions and also giving me her honest thoughts. The process of buying a home can be stressful, but I always felt like I was making smart choices with her help! I’m so happy with where I ended up, in a great neighborhood with a house that I can easily manage on my own. I highly recommend Becky to anyone who is buying a home, she’s so easy to work with and is truly looking out for you the entire way!

Fantastic experience: We’ve worked with several agents over the years and Corey is one of those rare, exceptional agents who can handle any deal on the spectrum, no matter how complex or different the goals! He sold two homes for me this year, and his ability to pivot between them was impressive: • Primary Residence: The goal here was the highest sale price possible. Corey’s advice on staging, his marketing eye, and his listing strategy were a masterclass. He knew exactly how to position the home to drive value. • South Wedge Investment Property: For this two-family rental, we needed a quick sale. Corey immediately tapped into his deep network of investors, bringing us offers within the first week. He also took the stress out of the process by expertly navigating tenant hurdles and local logistics. Corey’s local expertise and versatility are best in class. Whether you’re selling a family home or an investment property, he’s the person you want in your corner. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Sarah McCrackan for our first time home buying process and she made it so easy and stress free! She was on top of everything, quick to respond and answered all of our questions and concerns along the way. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Sarah is truly wonderful and we highly recommend her. She’ll make sure to take care of you!

Fantastic experience: We’ve worked with Mark Crandall four times now and wouldn’t use anyone else. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and always had our best interest at heart. Every transaction has gone smoothly and we felt supported from start to finish. We highly recommend Mark and will continue to use him for future real estate needs!

Fantastic experience: Mark Crandall was a huge help in finding our first home. He walked us through each step of the process, pointed out good and bad things about each house that we wouldn't have known to look for, and advocated for us during negotiations. We would highly recommend him and Elysian Homes and would gladly work with him in the future.

Fantastic experience: Mark Crandall was our agent and we couldn't has asked for a better realtor for the purchase of our first home! Mark was professional, knowledgeable and extremely proactive about getting us what we wanted. I'm very grateful that he crossed our path and look forward to working with him again in the future!

Fantastic experience: Just close on another deal with Zach was a little nervous. This would be my first 1031 exchange but as always, Zach knocked this out of the park he made it effortless for me. Grateful to have Zach on my team. This was such a smooth and effortless transaction. Can’t thank him enough and recommend him highly!!!! Five stars is not enough!!

Fantastic experience: Mark Crandall has been an exceptional realtor and a true advocate for our family throughout a multi-year journey of both buying a new home and selling another. His persistence is unmatched—he never gave up, even when the process took longer or became more complex than expected—and he consistently maintained a positive, steady attitude that kept us confident and moving forward. Mark genuinely cares about his clients as people and families, and that shows in every interaction. His team is absolutely on point, providing seamless support across all services from coordination to follow-through. We could not recommend Mark Crandall more highly to anyone looking for a dedicated, professional, and deeply committed realtor.

Fantastic experience: Really nice all the time she shows me houses really helpful and Honest all the time

Fantastic experience: We worked with Mark Crandall over the last eight years when we purchased a house and sold a house. Mark is deeply knowledgeable about the greater Rochester market where we sought property, and an equally good listener, taking our preferences tastes, and limits into account. Throughout he has been responsive, easy to work with, on top of what's next, and along with his staff, kept us well informed. His sale strategy for our house paid off very well, and on top of it all, he's been warm, thoughtful company throughout.

Fantastic experience: We can't thank Carol Yancey with Elysian enough for the amazing job she did helping us find our dream house! As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions and we were new to the whole process. Carol was always very responsive and knowledgeable, but honest in her guidance. She had great recommendations for attorneys and home inspectors, who we also enjoyed working with. We would proudly recommend her to any friends who were looking for a buyers agent.

Fantastic experience: This is our second home that we have had Christie help us to sell. She is very attentive and professional. Always thinking of our needs and works hard for us! If we are crazy enough to move again, Christie will be our top pick. Very happy, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Working with Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The team was always responsive and professional, communicated promptly, and connected me with excellent third-party services when needed. They handled every challenge with empathy, skill, and genuine care. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience working with Jeremy Havens at Elysian. From the start, Jeremy impressed us with his deep knowledge of the market and the region. He’s incredibly easy to talk to—honest, straightforward, and always professional. The planning throughout the process really put us at ease, and his partner was fantastic with planning the staging of our home. The biggest win? We sold our house just a few days after listing! Even though we’ve moved out of state, if we ever return, Jeremy and Elysian will be our first call. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Mark Crandall and had an excellent experience. Mark was professional from the start, and very skilled at navigating a complicated market. He spent the time to get to know us and our preferences which translated into very productive discussions about properties we were looking at, and the tradeoffs between them. When it came to making an offer and closing on our home, Mark was helpful every step of the way. We couldn't have been happier with our experience!

Fantastic experience: We asked friends about potential realtors. Mark and Elysian were highly recommended from multiple people. We interviewed Mark and another realtor. We ended choosing Mark because of his experience, track record in our locale, and demeanor. He shared our views of the unique character of our home. Elysian was helpful throughout the process of preparation, showing, and finalizing the sale of our home. His staff was courteous, prompt, and available. This was our fourth home over fifty years of living in Rochester. The selling of a home has vastly changed in this period. It was our pleasure and good fortune to have Mark Siwiec and Elysian homes assist us. Steve and Mary Ching

Fantastic experience: Working with Elysian Homes was everything I had been told it would be. Mark was very professional at his initial meeting with us and was willing to accommodate our needs. His staff was in contact along the way to verify that things went smoothly. I would certainly recommend them to anyone

Fantastic experience: I did not think we would find a reasonable home on our budget. Becky worked her magic.

Fantastic experience: We’ve had an amazing experience with Zach. He helped make our move such a smooth process even from states away. We would highly recommend Zach and Elysian Homes!

Fantastic experience: ​We are so thankful to have had Corey as our real estate agent! As first-time buyers, the process felt overwhelming at first, but Corey guided us through every step with patience and clarity. From getting pre-approved to closing day, he answered all of our questions, offered helpful recommendations, and always kept our best interests at heart. We were fortunate to have an incredibly smooth experience and even had our very first offer accepted — a testament to his knowledge and guidance. We are so grateful for the positive experience and highly recommend Corey to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: I don't have enough praise for Zach Summers and his efforts helping us find a house. The market in Rochester has been very volatile and he did a great job helping us navigate. His patience was boundless having showed us at least 25 properties over many months. I'm glad we are finally closed and in our new place!! Thanks Zach!

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Mark as the realtor to sell our home because our neighbor referred him to us, as he was their listing realtor the previous year with great success. We are so happy that we secured Mark as our realtor in the sale of our house this year. His expertise and professionalism was key in the successful sale of our home and far exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the process and sale. He was extremely easy to work with, accommodating and flexible, as well as very responsive to our calls and needs. Additionally, he has excellent team to support every aspect of the preparation, listing, showings, and sale. We are very grateful to him and strongly recommend Mark for your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Working with Mark Crandall and his team to sell my mother’s townhome was as smooth and supportive a process as I could have hoped for. Mark and team approached the entire sale with professionalism, patience, and a clear plan that gave me peace of mind at every step. From the first walkthrough to the final closing, he and his team made sure every detail was handled with care—whether it was staging suggestions, market insights, or keeping me updated on offers. What stood out most was the combination of personal attention and deep expertise: I always felt like I was in good hands. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for not just an excellent realtor, but someone who truly understands the human side of the process.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Elysian. Jeremy helped us through some difficult moments and always had our best interests in mind. We truly appreciate this team for all their efforts in making our long-distance move possible. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Becky is a wonderful real estate agent, always very helpful and friendly person. I recommended Elysian homes.

Fantastic experience: Becky was very professional and is very knowledgeable about the market. She was very pleasant and down to earth and her input on staging and her effectiveness in showing, I’m sure was critical to our sale. Becky is a real hustler and successful beyond my expectations with respect to management of the buyer and the offer/counteroffer process. I would recommend her to potential clients without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin to praise Becky's expertise in managing the sale of our house? She was right on target for when we should list and what the most attractive price should be. The house sold quickly with a bidding war and Becky "walked" with us through every step of the sale/closure process. She was easy to reach, answered questions quickly and efficiently, and has a wonderful personality to boot! We'll be sending anyone looking for a realtor to Becky at Elysian!

Fantastic experience: Corey Moran was fantastic to work with! He toured homes with us, listened to our needs, and made the buying process smooth and stress-free.

Fantastic experience: Mark and his team couldn't have been more helpful in selling our home from start to finish. He discussed options for the property, put me in contact with experienced professionals to make improvements where needed and completed the sale without delay once the house was on the market. Everything about the experience was first-rate. I recommend Mark Siwiec and Associates most highly and without reservation.

Fantastic experience: We started working with Mark siwiec about 15 years ago. At that time we also started working with Mark Crandall from his office. Mark is very personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to drive all over the county to show us homes. We was available to us in a way that worked for us. He answered our concerns in a timely manner and would find answers he didn’t know. We enjoyed working with him and have recommended him to family and friends. He has helped us sell and buy 2 houses and one piece of land. He makes the experience effortless and seamless, as much as possible. He is our go to realtor. We loved working with him and getting to know him. A joy to work with. Thank you March Crandall. We would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Sarah McCrackan, and she was wonderful! Sarah helped us every step of the process, and was patient with all of our questions. Absolutely recommend Sarah!!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but things to say about Becky and her team. They were so friendly wonderful to work with. My only regret is the all the loop holes in the lawyers. Here it is June 17th and no money has changed hands but someone has the house. Rocket Mortgage was going charge a late charge ( I never was late ever). If I don't see it tomorrow as again was promised I have no idea what to do. I know my children are upset with this. Becky you were the best thing out of this. All of you there, Bless you.

Fantastic experience: Corey Moran did a great job helping me with the purchase of my new condo. He was professional and very responsive. . I really appreciated his insights and guidance.

Fantastic experience: Becky Charpinsky has been our realtor since shortly after she started her career in real estate. Over the past 12 years, Becky has helped us sell or buy 5 homes. Needless to say, Becky is considered family to us. As with all families, there are disagreements but we always work everything out. With the state of the recent market, Becky gave us a figure that she thought we could get for our home which we honestly doubted. Becky not only delivered on the price but we had a buyer before the house was ever listed. We should know by now never to underestimate Becky! Becky is always there to answer endless questions, give recommendations and lend an ear when the stress gets overwhelming. We also want to thank Ashley Erickson for helping gather the information for the listing and for giving her opinion on several questions. We hope Elysian Homes realizes what Becky and Ashley bring to the team!! Needless to say we highly recommend Becky and Elysian Homes.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Rebecca (Becky) Schoenig enough. As first time home buyers, my partner and I were clueless on how to start and Becky made the progress as easy as it could be. She is so thoughtful and knowledgeable about the market and homes in general. Her insight and expertise made us feel safe during this process. Her punctuality, responsiveness, and trustworthiness makes her an incredible realtor. As people with too many questions to count, Becky handled them in a way that made complete sense and put our minds to ease. By working with Becky, you can tell how much she cares about her profession and the people she works with. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Elysian Homes and Rebecca Schoenig!

Fantastic experience: I sought a second opinion with Elysian on the advice of a single mom who had a great experience, following my meeting with another realtor who was not very optimistic about my non-cookie-cutter home! Becky (Rebecca) was immediately thrilled and I trusted her reassurance and her expertise, which helped me let go of a lot of worry. She listened to what my hopes were and was realistic, direct, and positive. Most impressively, she provided me free detailed suggestions (WITHIN MY PRICE RANGE) after she had Elysian's interior design experts take a look at what might help the home sell. My biggest benefit was the Elysian team- another agent had a couple that was looking for something just like my home and I was able to sell my home pre-listing for a good price! Becky went above and beyond during the last days of closing (understatement) to support me through the sale. Since I have been looking in several areas out of state and have interacted with a number of agents, I know how fortunate I am to have worked with her and Elysian. <3

Fantastic experience: Our agent Zach was a joy to work with before, during, and after the sale. Easy to contact with super timely response. 10 out of 10. Could NOT recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: Corey was recommended to me by a friend when I was gearing up to move to a new city. From our first chat, he totally got what I was looking for and knew exactly what to show me. A few weeks later—bam! My very first offer got accepted. Throughout the process, he was honest, incredibly patient (seriously, I asked a million questions), and made sure I actually understood what I was doing before putting in an offer. The market was intense, but Corey kept me grounded and walked me through backup plans without ever losing sight of the goal. Working with Elysian Homes was smooth, stress-free, and honestly kind of fun. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a place in the area—you’ll be in great hands.

Fantastic experience: From start to finish the entire staff and our agent, Corey Moran, were wonderful. They helped make the entire process smooth and seemingly effortless. We were very happy.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Becky Charpinsky highly enough! Having had the opportunity to work with Becky in a different industry years ago, I already knew her to be exceptionally professional, competent, and reliable - qualities that she continues to embody in her real estate career. When it came time to navigate the competitive Rochester, NY housing market, there was no question that Becky was the person I wanted by my side. Her deep knowledge of the local real estate landscape was invaluable, helping me make well-informed decisions at every step. Becky brought a strategic mindset to every showing and offer, always staying one step ahead with thoughtful, data-backed guidance. What really sets Becky apart is her ability to leverage her vast network. Whether it was finding new listings, coordinating with other agents, or connecting me with trusted professionals for financing, Becky made the process feel seamless. She’s not just a great agent, she’s a true partner in what can often be a stressful journey. If you're buying or selling in the Rochester area, do yourself a favor and give Becky a call. You’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Rebecca Schoenig to buy our first home and could not be more thankful we chose her! The knowledge and care that she puts into her work is unmatched. She helped my family find the perfect home and we are beyond grateful. I can not recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Elysian and specifically Corey Moran who helped us navigate the tumultuous greater Rochester housing market. We were an out of state relocation and Corey met all of our requirements in a thoughtful positive manner - he is knowledgeable, professional and was hands on supporting our purchase of our new home.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Sarah on a referral, and it was an amazing opportunity. Sarah was hand on and always attentive when we worked together. She has Pride, Passion, and Determination when working with clients. We look forward to working with her and the entire team at Elysian Homes in the future.

Fantastic experience: We are incredibly grateful to have worked with the Mark Siwec team to find our first home. Every member of the team we interacted with was exceptional, bringing extensive knowledge and expertise to the table. Erin, our agent, was particularly outstanding—her in-depth knowledge and calm guidance truly eased our anxieties throughout the home search process. She was consistently responsive and proactive, ensuring we felt supported every step of the way. Additionally, each company the team referred us to—from attorneys to mortgage brokers to inspectors—was top-tier and provided exceptional service. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend the Mark Siwec team to anyone looking for a smooth and successful home-buying journey.

Fantastic experience: We chose to work with Elysian Homes because Mark Siwiec sold our home 18 years ago before it even went on the market. When we decided to move back to Rochester, NY, working with Mark and his team was a simple choice. He connected us with Corey Moran, who met with us in person over the Christmas holiday to hear about our plan A, plan B, and plan C decision-making process. Corey helped us find a plot of land that we loved upon first sight. Corey was always responsive, heard what we wanted to do, and connected us with a builder and a lawyer. Being out of town, this was so helpful. As people who have rich lives, it was so helpful to have someone who listens well and responds without delay.

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review today in regard to Becky Charpinsky. I cannot say enough kind words about my experience with her. She proved herself to be a consummate professional during the entire process. She was courteous, kind, straightforward and honest. She was truthful and guided us with integrity. I was very pleased with my business transaction with Becky, and I would not hesitate to recommend her. In fact, I already have several times.

Fantastic experience: Use Elysian Homes. We have worked with many realtors over the last 25 years, Elysian Homes is at the top of the list. Rebbeca (Becky) Charpinski specifically asked the right questions, quickly identified our needs and expectations, then took the reigns and delivered. The entire team she solicited on our behave was stellar. Do yourself a favor, make the call to Elysian.

Fantastic experience: Mark was great to work with. He knew exactly how to price my house competitively, had great follow through, and his affable personality was the cherry on top! Thanks Mark!

Fantastic experience: We have worked with Mark and his team on purchasing and selling two homes in Rochester. He and everyone he works with are professional, thorough, kind, and always available to answer questions and help with the many particulars involved with these transactions. And…all went “many extra miles” on this most recent sale! Elysian Homes is fantastic and we 100% recommend them! Look no further if you are buying or selling a home in the Rochester area!

Fantastic experience: We have worked with Becky on the sale of two homes, and purchase of our forever home this year. Becky is highly knowledgeable, she was very flexible with our work schedules, and always kept a clear line of communication throughout the process. We are so grateful for all of the work she put into making our home buying/selling experience a seamless one.

Fantastic experience: Becky is an absolute joy to work with. Her industry knowledge and market insight are second to none. She helped us secure our dream home AND sell our previous home simultaneously within 60 days! Becky's coordination and tenacity with the many parties involved helped keep things on track. I would highly recommend her to anyone." Joel and Alicia Forsyth

Fantastic experience: Becky Charpinsky is nothing short of phenomenal. I had the opportunity to collaborate with her on a deal in Victor, and I was thoroughly impressed by her negotiation skills and professionalism. Becky approaches every transaction with integrity, ensuring that all dealings are fair and honest. Her dedication to her clients and her sharp business acumen make her a standout in the real estate industry.

Fantastic experience: Becky is the greatest realtor with such knowledge, efficiency, professionalism etc..., I could go on and on about her qualities and I hope her company is grateful to have such a caring, quality professional on their team. She made our house hunting journey enjoyable. I look forward to continuing with Becky in the very near future "

Fantastic experience: We met Becky Charpinsky at an open house when we started looking to move. We had not contracted a realtor yet. She was showing a house we looked at. When speaking with her, she was very personable and knowledgeable. We could tell she cared about what she does. We were sold on having her find us our new home and sell our current home. She was proactive in knowing exactly what we were looking for and set up private showings when it was convenient for us. She is wonderful and made the whole process EASY! We will definitely refer her to anyone looking for a realtor. Thanks Becky!! Jeff and Tricia Fisher

Fantastic experience: After research, careful consideration, and a wonderful interview, we hired Becky Charpinsky to be the agent to sell our home in Victor. Choosing Becky was an inspired choice, as she was magnificent and had our house under contract within a week after listing it with her. She knew all the ins-and-outs of a difficult market, listened carefully to us, and always enhanced our discussions and understanding, from pricing, to the amount of “prep” work we needed to do (wisely talking us out of some floor refinishings that we thought might have been needed), to how the process was likely to go, to getting a photographer who took listing pictures that we treasure. Becky also had great insights on the best way to respond when we had multiple offers to consider. Pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, with a great grasp of both the “big picture” and small details: We could not have asked for more than we got from Becky. Multiple thumbs up!!! " Bonnie & Tom Jackson

Fantastic experience: I've extensively used Mark and Becky's realty services since 2007. From researching neighborhoods that are right for my family, finding a rental, or purchasing a home, they've always been true professionals. Beyond offering exceptional real estate services, I find it very comforting that their team treats their clients with the upmost respect. They focus on what is right for their clients, and will take their time to make sure they find you a home, not just a house. With full confidence, I will continue to use and promote Elysian Homes.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the opportunity to know and work with Becky Charpinsky for 20+ years. Her commitment to meeting her client’s needs, while leading with honesty and a contagious energy is unparalleled. You won’t be disappointed in working with Becky as she will do everything she can to help you reach your goal.

Fantastic experience: After meeting with several brokers, I met Becky Charpinsky and knew immediately that we shared a long-term commitment to achieving financial success. Becky brought an impressive sales background and empathy to the table. During my simultaneous home sale and purchase, Becky introduced me to a senior financial officer, facilitating my ability to secure a bridge loan, as well as a top notch attorney to handle the back end of our contracts. Becky's diligence ensured seamless access to any desired property viewing, regardless of the time. Her efforts ultimately led to the successful discovery of a new home and the sale of our existing residence, all without encountering any obstacles. Becky's dedication to her clients was further exemplified by her attendance at an 8-hour inspection as we were out of town and utilizing her impeccable taste, as she brought my vision to life, to decorate our home. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with her capacity to make us feel like her sole clients, has left a lasting impression. Becky's notable strengths include her high motivation, exceptional negotiation skills, affable demeanor, professionalism, and ability to maintain composure throughout the entire process. Our association with Becky extends beyond this single transaction, as we have collaborated on various rental properties and investment opportunities over the past few years, showcasing her remarkable adaptability, compassion, and expertise. I could not recommend a better agent.

Fantastic experience: Becky sold a property for me that probably wasn’t the easiest to sell. She negotiated a full price offer within a week. I couldn’t have been more happy. She was patient with me and held my hand through the entire process. I always felt real confident because she was representing me. I suggest you hire her as well!

Fantastic experience: We have religiously worked with Rebecca Charpinsky when buying and selling our home(s). The level of detail and care she puts into ensuring a great experience, cannot be matched. She is incredibly invested in her work and genuinely cares about the families she helps, and wants to ensure you find your dream home. Throughout the entire process she kept us updated, advocated for us and made sure that we felt confident in our decision. I cannot say enough about her authenticity or her passion for helping. We had an incredible experience and appreciate everything she did to guide us, and ensure we made the right choice. If you are looking for a realtor who genuinely cares, is diligent, professional and goes above & beyond, look no further, she is your girl.

Fantastic experience: The Elysian team did a great job helping us sell our house! Zach was a real asset throughout the process.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic company to work with! I recently had the pleasure of working with Elysian Homes and I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. From start to finish they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my needs. The huge job of getting my mom's house ready to sell seemed unsurmountable, but Mark's team guided us every step of the way. I honestly don't know how we would have gotten through the process without Elysian Homes. What truly sets Marc Siwiec's company apart is his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. He and his team went above and beyond, providing invaluable insights into the market, ensuring every detail was covered, and making the entire process of listing my mom's house seamless and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Elysian Homes!!!

Fantastic experience: I referred Zachary Summers to a client moving from Los Angeles to Rochester. He provided 5 star service from start to finish. His professionalism and guidance with my client helped ease the many unknowns when moving across the country to start a new life. My client was very happy with the service and support Zach provided. He went above and beyond his scope of duties to ensure a smooth closing. I was very impressed and will recommend Zach without hesitation. He is the greatest realtor in Rochester!

Fantastic experience: The team was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We were kept informed throughout every step and they were always there to help with any questions that we had.

Fantastic experience: What can I say? Zach from Elysian Homes was absolutely exemplary from start to finish. He was professional and honest to a fault. I relocated to Rochester from Los Angeles and Zach made the transition painless, and was there to guide me every step of the way. I feel like I have found my forever home and realtor in one fell swoop. I will definitely recommend Zach and Elysian Homes to everyone I meet.

Fantastic experience: Mark and his team recently sold the home we had lived in for twenty-eight years. Their professionalism and expertise provided us with a very satisfactory outcome in terms of the sale, and their kindness and support helped make the process as painless as possible. We would highly recommend Mark Siwiec and Elysian Homes!

Fantastic experience: Mark was very personally involved and always looking to resolve roadblocks. He understands the market, has a practical business oriented approach, a service oriented staff and great local contacts with outside service providers to help move the process along. He always communicated next steps and was very open in discussions. I was very pleased with the total process.

Fantastic experience: Moving across the state to Rochester with my wife and two children for work was a daunting process, especially since we knew very little about the area. However, we were incredibly fortunate to have Zachary Summers as our buyers agent. Zach’s help throughout this journey was nothing short of phenomenal, and I truly can't express how thankful we are to have worked with him. We had a tight timeframe to visit Rochester, with only two days to see over 15 homes on our list. Zach went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfectly organized. He meticulously planned routes and scheduled viewings to make the most of our time. His local knowledge was invaluable — from insights on neighborhoods to property details, he gave us confidence and clarity with every showing. The Rochester housing market was very competitive at the time, making it challenging for buyers, but Zach’s expertise and guidance helped us navigate it seamlessly. He kept us focused on the right properties and, thanks to his advice and efforts, we were able to secure our first choice home. Zach wasn't just an incredible realtor — he was a supportive, kind, and reliable partner throughout the entire process. His friendly demeanor and genuine dedication made what could have been a stressful experience truly enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Zach to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with him, and we’re so grateful for all he did to help our family find the perfect home in Rochester. Thank you again, Zach!

Fantastic experience: When looking to sell my house, I knew the perfect person to call was Josh at Elysian Homes! Josh has helped me with both the buying and selling process over the past couple of years in Rochester, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he is professional, knowledgeable, and always had my best interests at heart. Josh's expertise in the market and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always available to answer my questions, provided valuable guidance, and went above and beyond to ensure I got offers well above asking price. If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares about his clients and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Josh!

Fantastic experience: We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience with Mark and his team was. We were excited at the start by Mark's innovative methods for listing our home - to include his fun and informative video - and happy throughout the process with the attention to detail by his entire team. From staging, to photography, to listing, and afterwards, the process was seamless and, for a stressful event, dare I say even fun! We would recommend Elysian Homes without reservation.

Fantastic experience: The second home I have sold through Mark Crandall and Mark Siewick. It has been professional experience from beginning to end. Their whole team played apart in the process Assuring it all went smoothly

Fantastic experience: We entered the sellers market and a time of turbulence and had to pivot our expectations. Mark's market information was very helpful to us. We had challenges "consecrating the deal" that required advise and support. Mark was there with us every step of they way.

Fantastic experience: Corey made the home buying process a breeze. He was always bringing the new houses on sale to our attention, always willing to answer all our questions, no matter when or how we asked. He was always on time for all our showings and meticulously walked us through the entire process. I have no doubt that Corey is the best in the market. Without him, I can only wonder how hard the entire process would have been for my wife and I.

Fantastic experience: Zach was absolutely wonderful, and made the process of buying a home easy and enjoyable. I was purchasing from out-of-state, and had to travel in and out of town to look at homes - Zach was so helpful in scheduling multiple showings in a day to prevent me having to travel back and forth multiple times, and we found the perfect home on my very first trip! I can't thank Zach and the Elysian team enough for making this such a smooth process!

Fantastic experience: I have purchased and sold multiple properties with Erin and she is always very responsive to all my questions and so easy to work with. I am confident that she always has my best interests at heart.

Fantastic experience: Josh and the whole team are truly phenomenal. Josh said on our last call that “it takes a village”, and it sure did. Josh’s industry-knowledge, experience, and guidance are top-notch. If you want a seasoned real estate agent who is also one of the nicest guys ever, Josh is definitely your guy. We couldn’t have had a better experience with a real estate agent and team! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I used Team Siwiec, and by extension Elysian Homes, for the entirety of our four years in the Rochester area and we've been truly impressed with their compassion and level of customer service. Our real estate agent, Mark Crandall, was nothing short of spectacular. Having worked to both buy and sell a home with him, Mark is a client-directed realtor: An advocate, a buffer, a representative of your needs and wants at all times. Mark took the time to get to know our preferences and household approach to the housing sector then executed our desires with professionalism and a personal touch. We love Team Siwiec and so will you given the opportunity to work with them (especially Mark Crandall)!

Fantastic experience: We are so happy we chose Elysian Homes to guide us through our first home buying journey. The team at Elysian, plus everyone else they recommended to us, were helpful, insightful, and always extremely efficient. Our agent, Zach Summers, was outstanding - not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the homes we saw together, but he was also patient, understanding, and kind. He never pressured us, and anticipated the questions we had before we even knew we had them. The first offer we made was accepted, in large part thanks to Zach's expertise! We felt so supported while working with Zach, and would highly recommend him and Elysian to others looking for their next home.

Fantastic experience: I chose Mark and his team to help me find a house in an ideal location. With Erin’s help I closed on a great property. Yvonne kept us on track and there was great communication through the entire process. Excellent experience!

Fantastic experience: Zachary Summers is amazing in every way, and has been every step of the way! Zachary really really knows this market, he also is very familiar with homes in the area and can connect with exactly the home you want. He knows and values greater Monroe county very well and the history of the area. Sensible and highly professional he really works with you and is very intent on getting you exactly the home you want and very much within reason. He’s a great negotiator and is always within reach if you need help. Zachary excels in his field and goes above and beyond. He’s really all in one! He even gifted me with the most thoughtful present on closing, a genuine historical map of the area I settled on! Working with Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec and Associates has been a dream to be honest.

Fantastic experience: Working with Mark and his team has been an unparalleled experience in the real estate industry. From start to finish, their service is exceptional. They provide detailed updates on each showing, including feedback and suggestions for enhancing your property's appeal. Mark's personal and consistent follow-up, along with his team's impeccable professionalism, ensures a seamless process. Having collaborated with Mark for years on both buying and selling properties, I can attest to his unique blend of warmth, kindness, thoughtfulness, directness, and brilliance. Mark and his team have set an exceptionally high standard in the industry, and I am immensely grateful for their outstanding service.

Fantastic experience: Mark and his team exceeded every expectation as we, first, bought a new house and, then, sold the old one. Expert guidance from a team of true professionals.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Elysian Homes by family members who had used them to purchase/sell property in the past. I can’t speak highly enough of our experience in both looking for a new home and selling our home. Our realtor is Josh Bartolotta - we were incredibly impressed by the immediate support he provided us. The attention and care he gave to us made it feel like we were his only client. We quickly grew to trust him which was important to us in navigating a complicated market. Once we had an offer accepted on a new house, he remained attentive and walked us through every step of the home buying process. We quickly listed our house and he gave us expert advice that I believe made all the difference in our sale. There’s a reason he’s a top realtor in our area! The entire Elysian Homes team was thorough and responded to all our questions immediately. I highly suggest contacting them, and specifically Josh, if you are looking to buy or sell your home!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Erin Duffy Kruss as our agent and couldn’t have been happier with her. She was always very responsive and supportive during the whole process. Julie Knight and the rest of the team was fantastic, every recommendation for needed services was spot on. I would and have recommended this team in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: Mark gave me a call personally and linked me up with Erin from his team whom was absolutely fantastic and helped my fiancee and I found our dream home in a hectic housing market. Erin was with us every step of the way and I could not ask for a better guide!

Fantastic experience: The team was recommended by my realtor and I was completely happy with them. They were very responsive to any questions I had, and I had a lot. We were buying from out of state and they were able to work around the time zone difference to ensure we were able to move forward timely.

Fantastic experience: Mark and his team are absolutely incredible. They always go the extra mile and ensure clients satisfaction. From sellers, to buyers, and all around, their systems and communications are on point. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great team. Josh Barotlotta is a terrific realtor who confidently tells it like it is. All his predictions came true and his recommendations increased the value of our sale significantly. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Mark and his team have a seamless process from start to finish. Selling a house is a major life event, and they helped make it as easy as possible. Everyone we worked with was wonderful and very responsive. We highly recommend Mark and his team.

Fantastic experience: Accommodating, Responsive, Knowledgable, but never intrusive. We could not ask for a better experience than we had with Erin of the Mark Siwiec Team. Having helped our daughter negotiate a cross country move during the frenzy of the sellers’ market, Erin was equally patient and successful in helping us into our chosen property in Rochester. An efficient and respected professional, we have never had a more seamless real estate transaction. A truly positive experience throughout. Highest recommendation! Thank you Erin and Team Siwiec.
