I have worked with Tenley Grazioli at Ocean Life Realty on two separate occasions and she has represented me well both times. My latest experience with her was exceptional in that she 'persuaded' me to take the more aggressive offer (that I thought would die before closing) but get an agreement from the buyer in advance to ensure no such hold up. Everything went smoothly and I'm thousands of dollars better off as a result. Tenley is well presented, articulate and knowledgeable about real estate, especially in our area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing professional, yet aggressive

Tenley is the definition of a professional and expert in her field. After getting her on board the home I had been trying to sell for nearly a year had two offers in 3 months. The process was made smooth and painless thanks to her experience and expertise. If your looking for a realtor who will put in the time and really cares, look no further. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

If you want the absolute best, Tenley Gratzioli and Ocean Life Realty is for you. She is a top notch professional who knows her market inside and out. Professional in every respect, she is a lovely lady and joy to work with. She handled every aspect of this sale with grace and ease. This included everything from initial repairs to staging to closing the sale. The house was on the market 21 days before we had a contract. Spectacular! Dont think twice in deciding on a realtor. Put your mind at ease. Tenley Gratzioli is the realtor you need.

Susan has now sold our rental home, sold us a new property to build on, soon to be selling our home! She has been amazing, very informative, extremely reliable, and has kept us up-to-date every step of the way. We will refer her anytime and work with her anytime that we can. There is no one else we would trust to sell or buy from. We cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and were absolutely amazed that she got us over asking price and made the purchase of our new land so easy for us.
