Saffron Realty Group, LLC, is a relatively new firm conceived by partners Bob Safranski and Ron Knoll in the pursuit of serving buyers and sellers at a whole new level. The company will consist of a growing number of boutique style offices linked together with a strong company mission, a cutting edge marketing program and seamless, collaborative communication through all levels of the company.
Buyers will be enticed by strong neighborhood knowledge and experience, a razor sharp team of highly professional, selectively recruited agents and a wealth of resources and data designed to deliver the best purchase experience possible. Sellers will be introduced to a more direct approach to listing exposure than they have ever seen before. Saffron will present a new type of marketing that finds the fastest and longest “buyer eye time” possible by rejecting certain marketing strategies common with our competitors because “it’s the way we’ve always done it.”

"I would recommend Ron Knoll to anyone looking for a realtor. He made sure to show me everything in my price range and figured out quickly what I liked and what I didn't which was nice because I didn't want him to drag me around the city showing me places I knew I would not like.
His customer service is impeccable and I will use him every time I buy or sell a home.

"Hands down the best in the business. Ron Knoll was our realtor and he just goes the extra mile. I met the other owner, Bob, and you could tell he was the same way. I think Ron is a member of the ethics board or something like that, so you know they are not going to take advantage of you.
We must have looked at 12-20 places before we settled on the one we wanted. Ron was amazing. He was flexible and very understanding when we walked in....and 20 seconds later walked out b/c we knew it was not the place for us. I have since been by the office and the whole staff is super friendly. Plus, they have an amazing website that lets you search the MLS and you don't have to worry about them stalking you:)
HIGHLY recommend!
