So rarely do you find someone with the trifecta of professionalism demeanor, the knowledge of the area and of the business, and the marketing genius Anthony brings to the table.
— Ron G.
Sometimes things don’t work out and I’ve had the experience with Anthony before where I was in escrow a couple of times and we thought that we had made the choice, but I realized at the very last minute that this isn’t right for me. And some agents would get really frustrated with that, and Anthony didn’t. [He said] Look at the end of the day, this is all about you, it’s all about meeting your needs, it’...

Anthony, working with you on a second purchase was an even better experience than the first. Without a doubt, you and your company are one of the hardest working, diligent and reliable services that I have encountered. In terms of customer service, following up and following through you are clearly ones to take lessons from. I have routinely referred Amalfi Estates to friends and associates who ask me ho...
— Matt C.
Jennifer and Anthony were an incredible team to work with. I was hesitant to meet with another RE agent, as I have lots of friends who are agents and always chat with me about the market. I am so glad I listened to Jenni and grabbed that 10-min coffee. Anthony and her were able to provide me with live examples on how they used their negotiation tactics to help first time home-owners secure their dream ho...
— Kelsey C.
Thank you Anthony for doing such a great job of marketing and selling our home of 40yrs. You and your team were a pleasure to work with easy to reach when needed. Your marketing and photography was fantastic, especially the video tour of our house. As a result, we had multiple offers over our asking price within a few days after listing our house,. Finally, we closed escrow in 30 days easily. We would hi...
— Kerry & Melinda
Anthony and his team are the the most professional team I have worked with. Anthony knows the market, knows how to price, and knows how to market to get your home sold. If you are serious about buying or selling call Anthony first.
— Shawn C.
We were really impressed with Anthony. With all the wrinkles in the process, there was nothing he hadn’t seen or dealt with multiple times before. He was able to calm [our] nerves and had the ability to get this all done. Anthony was aware of issues that our mortgage broker wasn’t aware of.
— Molly & Craig C.
This has been an absolutely amazing and very helpful coaching program/class. There has been such great content to learn and implement in real-time, as well as a goldmine of information resources and best practices shared among everyone in the class. I highly recommend this course! It has been the best money I’ve spent on coaching/mentoring, without a doubt.
— Diana Dao | Mavenly Homes, Founder
Coaching with Anthony has been transformational. He is next-level brilliant with an accessible, pragmatic, and systematic approach to scaling one’s business. Anthony has a unique style of coaching (I have had many coaches over the last twenty-five years). He is enormously generous with his experience, ideas, personal business tools, and strategies. His non-judgmental, humble, and kind personality makes h...

Anthony is an authentic and genuine teacher with a fun and relaxed approach. Behind that exterior is an extremely disciplined, analytical, and driven individual who can help you see your missteps and turn them into gold. His experience, insight, and ability to convey important information are priceless.
— Eddie O’Sullivan | Elevation Real Estate, Founder
Anthony is an exceptional leader and coach. With 29 years of experience in selling along with teaching and mentoring many agents, I am very selective about who I turn to for real estate advice. Anthony is exactly the kind of expert I seek. His wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas continually impress me. He is incredibly generous with his tips and strategies, and he provides clear guidance on how to i...
— Gina Piper | Elation Real Estate, Founder
Anthony's class is very engaging; every session provides new insights you can apply to your business. His guidance and tips are extremely useful, and he is very generous with his time and guidance. I highly recommend this course!
— Romita Jerath Ghosh | Vantage Realty
The first time I saw Anthony speaking on a stage in front of our industry’s finest, I distinctly remember wishing I could learn from him because everything he said made so much sense. I felt very lucky to have the opportunity to do just that a few years later, and be mentored by the legend himself. The thing that strikes me most about Anthony isn’t his extensive expertise about all things real estate, wh...

— Sal Rihani | Nhabit Real Estate
I had high expectations when I signed up for the course, and I can honestly say that the content we've covered so far has far surpassed them. The materials, resources, and ideas have been incredibly helpful, and I strongly believe my real estate business will grow as a result. In fact, even though the course isn't finished yet, I've already started applying what I've learned and can see positive results....
— Yahir Araujo | Bok Realty
Every team leader has something to learn from this course. I wish I was able to take this course when I first started my company. Each week I learned tips that improved how I run my company. Anthony sheds new light on how to run a team, brokerage and business. Having Anthony break down some of the most important aspects to consider and work on each week was a game changer.
— Kina De Santis | Reframe, Founder
Anthony's class, "Breaking into the Luxury Market,” has been a big win for our team. Each week, we learn the best practices from one of the best in the business. The wealth of knowledge is priceless. Sharing group feedback has been invaluable as we learn from each other. This is the class to sign up for to improve your business.
