As a first time home buyer I needed a lot of guidance through the process. I had many questions, lots of anxiety, and also grieving the loss of my father it was a very emotional time for me. I was also out on Long Island so emails, texts and calls were frequent. Don was so patient, understanding, and helpful through every step, even going out of his way to be sure things were taken care of that I was unaware of needing. He is a trustworthy, thoughtful and detail oriented man who knows how to make someone like me feel very comfortable taking such a major leap! I highly recommend Don Toscano! And will definitely keep his business card in hand for the future. Thank you Don!!
Don was great with giving advice but also following my wants and needs. He communicated often with phone calls or texted. I would recommend him to anyone.
Don was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He always updated me in a timely manner about the status of my home sale. I would highly recommend him as a realtor.
We were very lucky to have gotten Don he made purchasing a house smooth and not so overwhelming. He was right there every step of the way, had great advice and shared all and whatever knowledge needed to guide us through this process and experience.. I highly recommend Coldwell and Don to anyone looking for the best service possible on their journey to purchasing a home - Thank Don
Don is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. He assisted me every step of the way and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone selling their home
Don was great to work with. His professional care was genuine and truly helped our confidence throughout the process.
Don was the best agent he was very helpful when we had a question and always answered his phone!
Donald Toscano did an Excellent job of helping us to be prepared for selling our home. He kept us well informed of everything we needed to know and the things we should do during the sale process. He even made sure to kept us updated when he was out of town on vacation. You can tell he really cares about us as people, not just as a client - he was a real pleasure to work with. Thank You Don
Don Toscano could have not made our first time home buying experience any better. Because this was our first time buying a home, we didn’t know much about the process. Don provided us with details about every step and made sure we understood things as they unfolded. As soon as we started working with Don, he scheduled a whole slate of appointments for viewings. More important than that, he offered advice and insights from his years of experience in real estate. As novices attending open houses on our own, we focused on superficial aspects of the homes. As we learned from our visits with Don, there were a lot of critical things to look for in a prospective home that we overlooked (e.g., uneven plaster along tiles, a sloping roof, the age of windows and related costs for updates, etc.). When we found a home we loved, Don was superb at negotiating on our behalf. Don knew just when to push, and when to make concessions, and ultimately got us a better price on the house than we anticipated. Once the offer was accepted, Don walked us through next steps and gave us excellent recommendations for the home inspection and a lawyer to review the contract. Don was always available (day or night), to answer our questions and ease our concerns. Even when we weren’t reaching out to him, he would check-in with us to provide updates on how things were going with all aspects of the process. Don far exceeded any expectations we had, and on the whole, we could not have asked for a better, smoother home buying experience. With Don Toscano, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for agent, Donald Toscano. Our experience with Don could not have been more rewarding, even amidst some very stressful disappointing moments as we searched for a home. Days turned to weeks and then into painfully drawn-out months as the pandemic raged and the real estate market provided formidable challenges. Don always kept positive, spurring us on to take heart and soldier on. Because Mr. Toscano remained ever vigilant over potential homes and researched thoroughly, each property that was of interest to us, we did eventually find our forever home. There is no doubt in our mind, we could not have fulfilled this life goal without his expertise, professionalism and persistence. In closing, here are three ways in which one might describe agent Toscano well, in our opinion: - a very good listener - calm and steady - gracious and gregarious We are now living happily in our New Hartford, New York home and feel we owe much of this event to Don. Thank you. Lisa & Donald Libby
We first met Don Toscano in December 2017 while vising family in New York. When we went back to California, we stayed in touch with Don because we felt like he really heard what we wanted in a home. When we finally made the move from California to New York, Don was available to show us houses. We always felt like Don really cared; that we were part of his family. We just closed on our first house. We couldn't be more happy with Don as our agent and will definitely contact him for further home purchases.
Donny was a pleasure to work with. He knows the ins and outs of the home buying experience. Questions on house integrity, my mortgage, the closing process; anything I asked about, he always had valuable insight. He was accessible, responsive, and over all easy to communicate with. He understood what I was looking for, and provided me everything I could ask for in a realtor to make the dream a reality. I'll definitely work with Donny again on future real estate needs, and will recommend my friends and family do the same.
Don was recommended to me by my School administrator, a man whose judgement was never off. Don listened carefully to my concerns and requests, as I in turn paid attention to his wonderful advice. I had moved from the area and he checked on my home and worked closely with me to expedite the process. He made sure all of the loose ends were tied up and that the showings, sale and closing went on without a hitch. He is a great guy and I have recommended him to several friends, all of which are pleased with him also.
Don was committed to finding me a home that fit my needs and preferences. He was patient and looked at 10+ homes with me despite having a long drive. As a first time homebuyer, Don was extremely helpful in explaining the process of buying a home (what would happen before, during and after). He is knowledgeable on topics such as the basement, floors and attics--things some first time buyers may not be. Don made sure to understand what I was looking for and would send appropriate listings. It was great working with him.
Don did an outstanding job helping us fulfill a dream of buying a vacation home. We could not be happier with the service he provided us. His local knowledge was instrumental in helping us get the deal done. He was a professional through out the entire process. He went above and beyond to guide us through the closing process and navigating all the COVID rules. Thank you Don!
When the time came to sell my father's home (rather unexpectedly), my sister and I had several people recommend Don Toscano. The prospect of selling a home, and all the details that go along with it, weighed heavily on our minds. Soon after meeting with Don, our worries quickly disappeared. What we thought would be a long and arduous process turned into a painless one guided by Don. We found Don to be extremely thorough right from the beginning up to the completion of the sale. He explained every step in detail and answered our long stream of questions, addressing every concern respectfully and knowledgeably. Don was in contact with us at every turn, calling us immediately following any new development. Phone calls were always returned promptly. In my opinion he went above and beyond. He put the same care into the sale of our home as if he were selling his very own home. I'm so glad we decided to go with Don. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be on our side during the sale of this home. I highly recommend Don Toscano.
Don was incredibly helpful, supportive, and communicative during our buying process. He was knowledgeable about the process and his role as an agent. I found him to be incredibly honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend using Don to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Don was extremely informed throughout the entire house hunting process. From finding newly listed properties to negotiating the best price, he was there for me. He was helpful supportive, knowledgeable, a real estate "shrink". I could not have asked for a better agent!
Donald Toscano responded quickly to my initial inquiry for a showing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and property as well as neighboring properties. He negotiated the purchase price down to a fair an equitable price for both parties. In my opinion he went above and beyond to help schedule contractors and be present for necessary repairs prior to the closing. I trusted he was acting in our best interest 100% of the time. I would highly recommend Don Toscano to be your agent in either selling or buying your home.
Don Toscano is a consummate professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant, polite, and has the patience of a Zen Master. Don always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely fashion and was helpful and supportive throughout the process of selling my home. Beyond that, his ethics are of the highest order. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor.
Don was the agent representing the seller for home we were interested in buying. We live 4 hours away so were unfamiliar with local inspectors, etc. Don helped with the complete process and helped us find people to complete the transaction. He knows the area very thoroughly and always went way above and beyond to respond to whatever was needed.
Stuck with me while I searched for the "perfect" camp for myself and my family. Very knowledgeable of the areas that I was searching in. Would highly recommend Don as your agent
Don helped us find our first home. We looked at many houses since we were picky. He was never pushy and was very patient with us. He guided us through every step of the process. He always responded very quickly to us.
If you are looking for a real estate agent who will give you 110%, then Don is your person. Don sold our house and a building lot for us last month. He actually sold the house twice! The shady buyers backed out two weeks before closing in the fall. Don picked up the pieces and was able to sell the house a couple of months later. He showed the house multiple times and was always present for inspections and appraisals. Don is the most honest, hard working agent we have ever worked with. Don is your agent if you want to sell your home . I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Don helped get my family into our first home. We contacted him to let him know we were eager to find a home as soon as possible as we had a new baby, he got right on it. He did all of the work for us and made this process much easier than I thought it would be. He sent organized emails describing homes he found in our budget, our desired location, and that were within the guidelines that we talked about. He not only laid this out for us to make it simple, but he was overly accommodating. Because my husband and I both work out of town, he met us at odd hours, late at night at different homes, whenever it worked best for us. Don always kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and getting a hold of him for questions was never an issue. My husband and I have been in our home for a little while now and we received a call recently from Don just checking in to see if our home was everything we thought it would be. We cant thank him enough!
Don knew exactly what we were looking for in a home, and went above and beyond when working to get us to that point. He was available at all hours of the day to answer any questions we had, while working around our crazy work schedules to schedule showings and meet at our convenience. As a first time home buyer, he made this experience exiting and simple, walking me through every step of the way. I couldn't have imagined a better realtor and person to confide in through this journey.
Don was great to work with while buying our home. He answered all of our questions and was very attentive to our needs. Don walked is through every step and found us the perfect home that checked all our boxes. We would recommend Don to any of our family and friends. We are happy we found him.
I had a very positive experience working with Don Toscano and now consider him, not only as a real estate professional, but as a friend. Don has personality plus and is a real asset to Coldwell Banker. His knowledge of the market proved to be an advantage in my choice of a new home. Thank you and best wishes to my friend Don Toscano!
My Experience was great. My realtor, Don Toscano, was very patient with me and met the needs of the sale very nicely. He helped me to understand the process and why it takes as long as it does. He returns calls promptly and made the process less stressful. It was nice to know that there was someone in my corner looking out for me.
Don was an amazing real estate professional! He represented us as the buyer of our new home and as the seller of our past home and although there were issues with the buyer of our house and the seller new home, Don was reassuring and handled the situation confidently! We have already recommended his services, before and especially AFTER hearing horror stories from other people buying and selling! A huge thank you to Don for everything, we love our new home!
Donald Toscano of the Coldwell Banker Group in Johnstown, NY is knowledgeable, patient, a good listener…and gets the job done! We had many questions when we listed our home and Don answered everything in a way that really increased our comfort level with the process. His advice and suggestions were well thought out and invaluable. He took amazing pictures of our home…pictures that clearly showed the assets of the home as well as its potential. He was always available by phone or email and he kept us informed every step of the way. He provided personalized service that far exceeded our expectations. We had an offer on the house the day after it was listed and a closing within a month. I would recommend Don to anyone who is looking for a realtor who will make selling your home (or buying one) his top priority!
Don is the consummate real estate professional in every way. From our very first conversation when we decided to list our home, to the final discussion after the closing, we have found Don to have the perfect combination of knowledge, skills, personality and commitment to the needs of his clients. We encountered some unexpected challenges during our sale which could have been overwhelming, but Don's calm reassurance as he guided us through the necessary steps to resolve those issues were precisely what we needed. His depth of integrity is without question. He goes well beyond the norm in accommodating unusual circumstances and is flexible with whatever may arise, regardless of the nature of the issue. As professionals ourselves, we recognize when customer service is exceptional and Don's service was extraordinary throughout our entire transaction. We offer our complete and total endorsement of Don Toscano as a top real estate agent and wish to formally express our gratitude for his work with us these past few months.
Don went above and beyond to make my husband Jake's and my first time home buying experience as pain free and joyful as everyone's SHOULD be!! We found a house that we fell in love with less than a week before we were scheduled to go on vacation and visit my family. Don bent over backwards to work with us and inspectors to meet all of our deadlines on time, even while we were on the beach in SC! Our pups now have a safe place to run and play, and we are out of the city and in the country where it is quiet and peaceful!! Thank you so much for everything!!
We actually approached Don because of the positive experience our son was having since working with Don a few weeks prior. Don was very personable, knowledgeable and responsive. He made you very comfortable right from the beginning as he sought to find what we were looking for and would give insight at just the right level throughout our entire experience as we purchased our retirement home.
Don is easy to work with and up to speed on all the market trends. He helped us sell our house in a short period of time and arranged the showing of the house we purchased. It was an unusual process with the pandemic but Don was open, honest and explained in detail each step that needed to be taken to ensure everyone’s safety! He went the extra mile several times to answer questions and alleviate concerns to things that we were unsure of. He would offer his professional opinion when we were indecisive and was always respectful of our wishes!
Don is a superb agent! I was a first time homebuyer and he always kept my best interest in mind. Don never pushed me to make an offer and answered any questions I had and even gave examples of previous things he had run into. We looked at over a dozen homes together before I settled on one and he stayed vigilant throughout the entire process. I would recommend Don to anyone looking for a home.
Don Toscano is the BEST! He went way above and beyond the call of duty!
Don Toscano is a real pro who actually cares that you find the house that best suits your needs. He goes the extra mile to be helpful!
Excellent communication and support Fantastic job
Don Toscano did an amazing job for us as the sellers agent for our house in Saratoga Springs.He is an excellent communicator and was always there for us to answer any questions or concerns.Our house was under contract within a week of listing.If I had elderly parents or loved ones I would have no questions about using Don as a realtor for them.He is a high integrity honest individual..As far as we are concerned Don is the "Bomb" when it comes to buying or selling a property.
Don was very patient with us as we searched for two years. We viewed upward of 20 homes and Don never pressured us to put an offer in, but checked in to see our thoughts and feelings each time. Flexible and willing to accommodate our work schedules for showings.
Don was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in representing us and our interests throughout this home purchase process. I don't recommend using anyone else.
Don was great to work with from start to finish when buying our Sacandaga place. He was very knowledgeable about the market and local area. We are from out of state so having him there at various inspections was a lifesaver. His communications were always helpful and responsive on a variety of issues. We highly recommend Don for any real estate transactions!
I bought my new home sight unseen while still living in Colorado. I had pictures of the new home but really bought the home because I trusted everything that Don told me about the place. His help included inspections and tests and keeping me informed of results. He made buying this home extremely easy, lucky to have his expertise!

Donald Toscano was very helpful to us in finding a new home to buy and live in. He is knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide useful feedback on the properties that we viewed. We actually changed our minds on the day we were putting an offer in on one property to a different property, and he had the new offer paperwork ready to go in a few hours.
Chuck and I (Mochamer) have only high praises for our buying and selling experiences with Don Toscano years ago when we first bought our home in Caroga Lake, NY and when we recently sold our home in Caroga Lake, NY. Don made every step along this process easy, explaining in detail every detail we needed to know as well as had a right to be made aware of. He was very professional but made you feel more like a family member by the way he took care of all the needs he felt were his responsibility as your realtor and selling agent. He made you feel safe and secure your back was covered. With Don taking such good care of all our needs, we felt very confident and relaxed. Don found a buyer and got an offer within an extremely short amount of time ! To say we are very happy with the service Don Toscano provided us both times would and is an under-statement. He is such a trustworthy person we feel confident he will always work his hardest to provide you with the best service and experience possible. Pamela & Charles Mochamer
Don Toscano is a real pro who actually cares that you find the house that best suits your needs. He goes the extra mile to be helpful!
We were so lucky to end up with Don representing us as buyers for our new home! We discussed before going to our first showing that we weren't going to commit to the first realtor we met... Well then we met Don! Our personalities clicked with his right away. We really appreciated that he was willing to take a step back while we viewed homes and then provide input when and where we asked (which we did often). It took us a number of tries to find the right home for us, and Don was patient and kind through it all. While other parties of the closing were slow to respond or held up the process, Don always kept us in the know and on top of what step in the process we were in. His knowledge, attitude, and commitment to finding us the right home were exceptional.
To be honest, we had an agent in mind and were leaning towards this other agent. My wife tried to find his phone number and mistakenly signed my email up on realtor.com. Don and a couple other agents called, and I decided what the heck we might just as well talk to them. We met Donald that evening and if we weren't already committed to talking to others, I would have gone with him immediately. We did meet with other agents and my wife and I agreed that we liked what Donald had said, offered, advised, and his personality just clicked. I suspect that he has no problem communicating with anyone, a very charismatic man. So, we set it up with him to sell our home. In three days, we got a great offer, in four days we got an even better offer and we were in contract with a buyer. There were plenty of questions, Donald had all the answers. He was updating us regularly and we never had to call him for anything. I knew he was on top of everything and easily kept us informed. When there was a pause in the process, he even called to assure us that everything was progressing normally. Well now that it is over, looking back at the entire experience I can only imagine what it would have been like with someone other than Donald. I have heard stories about being neglected, a lot of time passing between the time of signing the agreement and getting the entire process started. That was not the case here, we said go, he took pictures that day, he processed them and produced the web presentation that night and had it up and running immediately. Like I said only a few showings and multiple offers. Donald is the realtor I would not hesitate to use. He is the very best person to sell your home.
Excellent market value knowledge. The presentation of photos of the property contributed to the quick sale !

Don Toscano is the consummate real estate professional; he gives guidance and advice that comes with decades of local real estate experience. Through both purchasing a new home and selling my old home, he was always in my corner; when the purchasing process need pushing along, Don was in the front line making sure my deal finished in a timely fashion. While selling my home, he guided me through a multiple offers situation with patience. Don is always someone to whom you can vent frustrations and expect calm and measured counsel in return. I would never do any real estate transaction without Don Toscano by my side; clients can trust him to look out for the best interest no matter the circumstance.

Don is extremely knowledgeable and experienced which made for a seamless process. With Don we were able to get a showing and an offer in on the house before it even hit the market. He went above and beyond by contacting, meeting with, and hiring contractors to make the necessary repairs on the house before closing. Don made sure to touch base with us on a regular basis and walk us through every step, which was extremely beneficial for a first time homebuyer. Don was dedicated to providing me with the best experience possible and gave honest opinions throughout the process.

Don was outstanding. He made everything incredibly easy. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and best of all..personable. From day one I felt like HE was buying the house instead of me. He was very thorough when showing the house to my wife and I. It was a pleasurable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Don Toscano to everyone! Thanks Don. It’s been great!

Don was so helpful in my house hunt! I had very specific criteria and a strict budget. Don was able to help me find a place that fit both perfectly. I had previous experiences with other agents who would take my call and then never get back to me when I first began my house hunt. After trying several different avenues, I met Don. Thank you for being so reliable and helpful!
