Signature Premier Properties, Smithtown

Meet Danielle and Kim.

Danielle Sandella and Kim Fontanez are sisters and Licensed Real Estate Salespersons at Signature Premier Properties in Smithtown, where they have worked together as partners since 2023. Between them they have closed 56 home sales in 22 towns across Suffolk and Nassau, $27.5 million in all. Danielle came to real estate from title closings, Kim from twenty-five years in mortgage underwriting.

Danielle worked in title closings before she sold houses: the deeds, liens, permits and certificates that decide whether a sale can close. She reads a file for the problem before it is a problem. Kim spent twenty-five years in mortgage lending and underwriting before real estate. She reads what a lender will approve before a buyer makes an offer, and she knows which problems on a house a lender will refuse.

Questions they get asked

The ones that come up in the first conversation, answered by whichever sister gets asked it most.

  • Danielle Sandella
  • Kim Fontanez

How long does selling a house take?

From the day we list to the day you hand over the keys, plan on three to four months, and most of that is the stretch between a signed contract and the closing. The part we control is the first week: a house that goes on priced right, with the paperwork already clean, finds its buyer in the first few weekends.

Danielle Sandella

What will I have to pay for during the sale?

The commission, your attorney, the New York State transfer tax, and whatever the title search turns up that has to be cleared before closing, which can be nothing or can be an open permit from a deck put up twenty years ago. I pull the title questions before we list, so the number you plan on is the number you pay.

Danielle Sandella

What happens next, and what should I expect?

Before you look at a single house, we go through the financing: what you are approved for, what you are comfortable paying each month, and what a lender will refuse on a house, which is a different list from what you would refuse. Then we look. When you find it, the offer goes in already knowing it can close.

Kim Fontanez

How do I know I am making the right decision?

You will not know from the listing photos. I walk a house asking how it will actually work for you: the coat closet, the pantry, where the laundry is, what the roof and the boiler will cost you in five years. Then we talk about whether it works, not whether it photographs well.
