Closing day for Morgan & Mark! 🏡

This week's Friday with Friends tackles one of the biggest conversations we're having with sellers right now: Transparent Pricing vs. Strategic Pricing.

For years, many homes were priced slightly below market value to generate multiple offers and push the final sale price higher. In today's market, we're seeing more sellers choose a transparent pricing strategy instead.

Transparent pricing means listing a home at a price supported by recent comparable sales, with the expectation that it sells close to that price.

So which strategy is right for your home? 🏡

The answer depends on the property, the competition, current buyer demand, and your goals as a seller. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Watch this week's Friday with Friends as Mandy and Abbey break down the differences and explain how we help sellers determine the best pricing strategy for today's Rochester and Finger Lakes market.

Some friendships stand the test of time!

After 20 years of friendship, it was such a privilege for Leslie to help Al and Terri with this exciting chapter. After living in the South, they’re officially back in Rochester and settling into a beautiful new construction home in Greece, NY.

We’re excited to have you back in the Rochester area and couldn’t be happier to see you in a home that’s a great fit for this next season of life.

Welcome back, Al and Terri!

🏡 CLOSING DAY CONGRATS!🏡

There’s something special about handing over the keys to first-time homebuyers.

Today, Jess had the honor of helping Erica and Derrick close on their very first home in Webster! After being referred to us by Erica’s cousin, they jumped into the process ready to learn, ask questions, and make smart decisions every step of the way.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but these two handled it with patience, flexibility, and excitement. We’re thrilled they found the right place to call home.

Congratulations, Erica & Derrick! Thank you for trusting Jess and The Friend Team to be part of your journey.

JUST SOLD | Penfield, NY 🏡

Amber and Dustin were introduced to us by a past client, and now they’re officially homeowners in one of Penfield’s beautiful neighborhoods!

We can already picture the memories ahead: bike rides through the neighborhood, backyard adventures, holiday traditions, and watching those kiddos grow up in a place they’ll always call home.

Thank you for trusting The Friend Team to help guide this next chapter. We’re so grateful for the referrals, the relationships, and the opportunity to help another wonderful family find their place.

$6,000,000+ SOLD in the last 30 days. 👏

Abbey is on a roll!

While we’re certainly celebrating the volume, we’re just as proud of the client experience she’s delivering along the way.

Recent client review:
“I was represented by Abbey Friend while selling my house in Geneva. Abbey is an amazing person. She was very effective throughout the entire transaction, from listing the property through closing. Absolutely lovely experience. The whole team is very professional and pro-client. Highly recommended!”

Great results matter. So does how people feel throughout the process.

Congratulations, Abbey, on an incredible month and for continuing to raise the bar for our clients across Rochester and the Finger Lakes!

What matters most when choosing a Realtor?

The answer isn’t always about the house.

It’s about feeling heard.
Having your questions answered.
Knowing someone is looking out for you every step of the way.

These are just a few words from recent clients who trusted The Friend Team with one of life’s biggest decisions.

Thank you to every client who has allowed us to be part of your story.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Rochester or the Finger Lakes, we’d love to help.

From Texas to Rochester, and now officially HOME. 🏡

When Kat first reached out to Leslie, she was preparing to relocate her family from Texas to Rochester. Referred by friends who told her, “You have to call Leslie,” she reached out looking for guidance, advice, and a local expert she could trust.

Fast forward a few months, and the keys are in hand.

Buying a home from across the country comes with plenty of moving pieces. Learning a new area, narrowing down neighborhoods, coordinating showings from afar, and making confident decisions in a market you don’t know can feel overwhelming. We’re so grateful Kat trusted Leslie and The Friend Team to help make the transition a little easier.

Welcome to Rochester, Kat! We’re excited for this next chapter and thankful to the friends who connected us.

Thinking about relocating to Rochester or the Finger Lakes? We’d love to be a resource for you too.

Buying in 2026? Don’t wait to start. 👀

The buyers who win usually aren’t the ones scrambling at the last minute. They’re the ones who:

🏡 Talk strategy early
💰 Connect with a lender now
📍 Learn their neighborhoods before they’re ready to offer

This week Mandy & Abbey are sharing how to prepare NOW so you feel confident later. Because buying a home shouldn’t feel rushed, it should feel informed.

Thinking about buying in Rochester or the Finger Lakes? We’re here when you’re ready.
