Being new to Mass and a first-time homebuyer, I dragged Adam all over the Boston metro area looking for a rare one- or two-bedroom condo in my budget. I wasn't totally sure what I wanted or what I could afford. He helped me get a sense of what was available in the different markets I was interested in and pointed out features of properties and neighborhoods that I didn't know to consider. He also put me in touch with multiple other partners required for the transaction, all of whom turned out to be excellent. When we found a condo I liked, he negotiated and got me a sale price under what the property eventually appraised at. Thanks Adam! read more

We are incredibly grateful to Adam and his team at The Muncey Group. My sister and I went through the difficult process of emptying and selling our father's home in Newton, MA after his death, and Adam was there to guide us every step of the way. He was accommodating of our timeline and needs, and always willing to answer questions and address concerns with patience and compassion. Throughout the entire process, Adam made us feel at ease. He and his team were exceptionally responsive and paid close attention to every detail involved in preparing and selling the house. His recommendations for estate clean-out support, painters, repair services, and a real estate attorney were all excellent. His deep experience in Boston area market ensured that we received multiple offers. Adam is an outstanding communicator--responsive, thorough, and truly supportive. We highly recommend him and his team at The Muncey Group. read more

We have now used Adam for 3 of our real estate transactions: buying a condo in 2018, selling the condo in 2024 and purchasing a new home in 2024. We think that this will be our forever home, but if we ever needed support with selling or buying, Adam would be the only person we trust with this process. He is communicative, friendly and makes the process feel personal and supportive. We also love that he is part of a great team, The Muncey Group. When he had some planned time off, for example, it did not disrupt our process in any way. We loved working with his colleague, Amy during this time and with our buyer's agent, Kris, too. The Muncey Group and Adam, Amy, and Kris, in particular, have been a pleasure to work with- they feel like family at this point! read more

As Adam would say I am a #happyclient!!! I am actually a #VERYHAPPYCLIENT. When Adam was referred to me he took the time to truly listen to my wants, needs and dreams. I am an 'older' buyer and my prospective new home is my 'forever' home. I had a dream to be near the ocean in a new contemporary 'Coastal' home and in my wildest dreams I never thought he could find the perfect fit!!! He did!!! I purchased my dream home in June 2019 and after a long year of building and waiting through COVID I closed in August 2020 and throughout the whole process Adam was right there every step of the way. They say that this can be an emotional process and that was especially true towards the end of this for me as we came to quite a few unforeseen delays with the building process. Adam listened to my frustration and concerns and spoke to the Construction Coordinator in a way that was forceful but not 'pushy'. I just sat back, trusted him and let him take over to deal with the issues. He was able to communicate clearly and effectively with the construction team which really helped make the end of the process a lot smoother and less stressful for me. I cannot say enough about Adam's professionalism, competence, experience and knowledge. So needed in today's real estate world!! Having Adam on my side was KEY in my buying experience. I HIGHLY recommend Adam Shamus for ALL your Real Estate buying and selling!!! read more

Adam was absolutely amazing. Right from the start, we knew we can rely on him with everything. He knew how to listen to us, point out the pros and cons of each Realestate we saw and guide us with our decision making. He was very knowledgeable, available anytime and extremely patient. At the end, he helped us through the entire purchase process of the house (this was our first house!) and got us our dream home. Well done, Adam! read more

Adam was responsive and professional during the sale of our home. He helped us decide whether to sell or rent by providing market data to guide our decision. We were selling from a different state and were not on the ground to manage a lot of the items that needed to be taken care of, such as staging, maintenance, painting, cleaning etc. Adam handled that for us and communicated regularly with us throughout. He helped us to sell rather quickly as the market began to turn and the process was smooth with his recommendations. read more

Adam has helped my family buy two homes (Boston and Cape Cod) and sell one (Boston). Each time, the process went smoothly, and we could have not asked for a better experience. We purchased both of our homes for under the asking price and sold our home for over our asking price. Not only is Adam a trusted professional, but he has become a true friend. I would (and have!) 100% recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. read more

Adam is patient and experienced realtor , it was a rewarding experience to work with him. Adam really has an eye for details and kept us real and honest. At no point we felt pressured to make any decisions. He also has great network of professionals who helped us with closing finances and legal issues. I highly recommend working with Adam as a buyers/sellers agent. read more

This is our second home purchase with Adam. Our first was a short sale back in 2014. This time around was a regular home purchase, which was a much quicker process than the short sale. Things moved so smoothly with Adam in every stage of the process. His assistance was exactly what we needed, by setting us up with the right people at exactly the right time, it made our lives so much easier as we needed to continue our work/life balance at the same time as this was occurring. From the pre-approval letter within hours to make the winning bid to the right lawyers to help close the deal with 45 days, we couldn't have been happier. We also had to sell our house ASAP because Adam was able to get us the house of our dreams. Adam stepped up immediately, telling us each day what we should be doing in order to get the house sold, even coming down to help move a few heavy items to help stage the house. He got our first offer within 2 hours of the open house and got our house sold within 4 hours! In order to do this, after the first offer came in, he dropped everything (including leaving a restaurant he was at) to get on the phone with other agents and got us 3 other offers to compare to the first...it was amazing! The pressure he was able to take off of us was priceless and the final offer was exactly what we were looking for to sell the house. Adam is our go-to agent! read more

This was our third experience using Josh Muncey and The Muncey Group for a residential real estate transaction in the Boston area. This time Josh enlisted the help of Adam Shamus, an agent in his group. We were demanding clients, searching remotely from Atlanta and LA for a property meeting specific criteria. While we identified the properties we wanted to see, Adam took us on very helpful video tours when his schedule permitted. Due to Adam's experience and knowledge of the market, he guided us to offer below the asking price for the third and final property on which we made an offer and the offer was accepted. He undoubtedly saved us between $20,000 and $40,000. Adam's recommendations for services such as home inspector, floor refinisher, handyman, etc. were also spot on. Adam is pleasant and even-tempered. He is a good communicator, responsive, honest and thorough -- a true professional. read more

While our son was attending college in Boston we wanted to purchase a condo for him and his roommates to live in. Adam found us the perfect unit and made the transaction so easy for us, especially since we live in California. Adam was always available to answer questions and always provided service at a much higher level than we could have imagined. Adam's knowledge of the real estate market in the Boston area has proved beneficial beyond our expectation. The condo has appreciated considerably since our purchase. Without Adam's help non of this would have been possible. We would recommend Adam with confidence to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Boston area. read more

Adam was a great partner and guide, and he helped us land a home that we love. He took the time to get to know us, always responded to our questions promptly and honestly, and helped us make sense of the entire home-buying process. From our first meeting all the way to closing, we felt that Adam was in our corner and would advocate for our best interests. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in Newton. We initially chose Adam as a realtor because of his participation in the Homes for Heroes program. It proved to be a fantastic decision. We saved money on closing costs, and ended up using the refund we received from the program to help pay for renovations. All educators should look into the benefits of this wonderful program. read more

Adam is a fantastic realtor! We have now worked with him for 3 transactions (1 sale and 2 purchases) and have been happy each time. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He is able to help us prioritize and sort through what we want versus what we need. And he has connected us with other responsible and excellent professionals (lawyers, etc) to help in our process as well. We would highly recommend Adam as either a buyers or sellers agent! read more

5 STARS...and then some!! If you are buying or selling, you MUST hire Adam Shamus, at Keller Williams Chestnut Hill, as your realtor. I cannot say enough good things about him. After moving my elderly mother to an assisted living facility, I had the daunting and sad task of selling my childhood home and parents' home of 65 years. Adam came highly recommended and I now know why. As we began to clean out the house, Adam made the time to come meet with us. Right away he was incredibly friendly, helpful and thorough in explaining how he would go about selling the house. We were so impressed we hired him on the spot. From that point forward, he was in constant contact with us every step of the way. He provided reputable contacts such as handymen and lawyers. The house was listed on a Thursday and sold at the end of the Open House on Sunday. There was very little for me to do other than sign on the dotted line. You could say he held my hand along the way which made the process so effortless. We were very privileged to have met and worked with Adam on a professional level and are now delighted to call him a friend as well. read more

Adam was a dream to work with. In the beginning he helped us to identify our interests and focus our search on the few neighborhoods that checked all of our boxes (we didn't make it easy on him). He was quick to respond to any questions that we had and as he accompanied us on several walk-throughs, he raised questions that we would have never thought to ask. When we finally found our dream house, he helped us with our offer and then ran point throughout the entire closing process, checking-in regularly with our attorney and our lender to make sure there were never any surprises. He is a kind and genuine person and a fantastic realtor. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a house. read more

Over a series of months, Adam did a great job helping to sell my parents' condo. The place was in poor condition, but he did a very good job identifying what to improve or fix and what to leave to the buyer to update. He did a terrific job overseeing a significant amount of work to get the place ready to be sold, and he knew the right people to call to get the work done promptly and well. And then when it came time to list, he did a great job employing comps to set the right price to get it sold quickly, with minimal stress, and for a good price. He was reliable, efficient, and very responsive and proactive. Thanks Adam! read more

As a first time home buyer, Adam was fantastic at walking me through all the steps of the process. He showed great patience during my search, was always available and willing to give his opinion or make changes, and had great questions to ask at the showings. read more

Adam is AWESOME - from start to finish he is professional, responsive, knowledgable, and helpful. He is happy to take the time necessary to make sure that I was taken care of. I'm pleased to say that after working with him, I can confidently recommend his services to those seeking to either buy property (like me) or sell their real estate to contact Adam and see for themselves. read more

My wife and I had worked with Adam previously to purchase a condo, and we were glad we were able to work with him again to sell that condo and purchase a single-family home. It was great having Adam on our side throughout the purchase and sale process. Not only is he super responsive, and always willing to jump on a call to explain anything we didn't understand, he also helped us frame the decisions we had to make throughout the process in ways that helped us move forward. When we ran into an unexpected snag right before closing on our purchase, Adam sprung into action, kept us calm, and helped us get the deal done to our satisfaction despite the last minute problem. I would not hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home in the Greater Boston area. read more

"Consummate professional" is the perfect way to describe Adam. We fell in love with a new construction townhome in Boston but new isn't all it's cracked up to be (especially in 2020 with Covid shutting down the country). We wanted to snag the last home in this project but I wasn't able to see it during the open house. Through his relationships, Adam connected with the selling agent and we learned there was another offer and were able to put an offer in contingent on me seeing it. We needed to put in a best and final and Adam helped us find a number that was comfortable for us but also competitive and our offer was accepted! However, the units were sold before completion and with Covid affecting the builder's staff and sub-contractors and with 3 other townhomes under contract before us we were in for lots of surprises! We compiled our punchlist and Adam did all the work with the attorneys and seller's agent to ensure we held back money for projects that couldn't be completed before the closing. Adam arranged to have the builder meet us at the unit to provide comfort that the punchlist items would be completed properly. To our surprise, the day of closing, most of the items were still outstanding. Adam did not put any pressure on us to close and worked with our attorney to move the closing and express our dissatisfaction to the selling agent. This was super emotional and stressful and Adam was supportive and took the initiative to monitor the progress personally!! This was above and beyond and we are very happy with our new place, new neighbors and neighborhood! Thank you, Adam!!! read more

Adam is a consummate professional. His knowledge, motivation, and ability to help us navigate through any and all questions along the way made the home selling process easy. We had certain expectations when we decided to sell our condo and Adam surpassed all of them consistently. From the first conversation to the day of closing, it was truly a pleasure to work with Adam and we would highly recommend him to any of our family and friends who may be looking to sell a home. read more

My husband and I were referred to Adam through a mutual friend. When we began the process we had literally no idea where we wanted to live. Adam was incredibly patient as we drove all around the south shore on a Saturday, followed by an entirely different area out West the next day. I thoroughly respect the commitment that goes into what he does. He was very supportive through the process and did not try to rush us. By chance, we ended up having an offer accepted while Adam was on vacation. He referred us to his colleague Adam Block for coverage while he was out and we can't say enough about how awesome he was either. Adam frequently kept in contact with us while with we worked with Adam Block through the offer process, even though he was on vacation. We would work with both of these two again in a heartbeat. Hopefully we won't have to though because we absolutely love our house! read more

Adam was fantastic to work with. It's clear that he is a realtor that takes great care in finding the right homes for his clients. He was always responsive, knowledgable, and sought out properties that would be a good fit for me. During Open Houses, I was impressed with his attention to detail. If a house had anything wrong with it, Adam would point it out. When I zeroed in on a home, Adam's guidance was amazing. From the negotiation to the closing, he made sure that the process was as seamless as possible. I'd highly recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the near future. 5 stars! read more

We worked with Adam to find a condo in the Boston. The experience was positive and well organized. Adam presented us with lots of properties to consider and look at. His advice was experienced based and he was knowledgeable. If he knew something he told you. If he did not he would find out. Always followed up quickly. Not pushy or a know it all. Ego in check. We ended up buying a condo and recently closed on the transaction. I would recommend Adam without hesitation. read more

Working with Adam to buy my first home was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable about the market and helped me through the entire process from start to finish. He was really accommodating and looked at condos on the weekends with me - one time we saw eight in one day! I would definitely recommend Adam to my friends and family and hope to work with him when I move on to my next home. read more

Adam provided us with first-class support and service from start to finish. When we were ready to put our home on the market, we did not hesitate to reach out to Adam to represent us. He came to our home and sat down with us to discuss next steps as this was our first sale. He walked through our home and gave us sage advice on economical updates we could make to help secure a great price. Moreover, he recommended folks who could do the work every step of the way. The folks he recommended were talented and reasonably priced. His pricing of the home reflected his knowledge of the market and area and we were able to accept a great offer over asking. When I was having anxiety in the days leading up to the open house and during negotiations, he was responsive and supportive. He made the whole experience incredibly positive and we would highly recommend him! read more

Adam Shamus was a fantastic resource during our recent home buying and selling process, serving as our agent for both transactions. He skillfully helped us every step of the way, in what can normally be a very high-stress situation. His knowledge of the market, open communication, and patient persistence resulted in us not only selling our property within one week of listing, but also helped us buy our dream home without any roadblocks. In fact, we worked with Adam when we purchased our first property six years ago, and actively sought him out again because of how pleased we were with our first experience. Adam strikes the perfect balance of professionalism and care for his clients, making him not only a great agent, but a truly trustworthy person. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Adam took the stress out of buying our home. There are so many hoops you must jump through and he made every step as easy as possible, from giving us tips to sell our home, to helping us negotiate with the seller, to finding a house inspector and a contractor, to answering every one of our calls on the first ring. I've already recommended him to friends, and would definitely turn to him again if we were ever going to buy another home. For the foreseeable future, however, we have no plans to move from the wonderful house he helped us buy. Years on, we still keep in touch with Adam. read more

Adam was a rainmaker for me. A very close personal friend recommended him to me when I was having trouble selling my house after several months on the market and massive frustration. Immediately I felt comfortable with Adam because of his knowledge, his network, and his follow-through. He did not mince words with me. He had both a clear strategy and an even clearer execution plan. No detail was too small for Adam. He took a comprehensive approach that looked at all aspects of the sale -- from staging to marketing, and also spent a great deal of time talking with buyers highlighting the special features of the house. Within two weeks of working with Adam, I had a buyer for my house. I have learned a tremendous amount from Adam and recommend him without question to you. Whether you have a luxury home or a much loved, modest property, Adam will get your property sold. read more

Adam helped my husband and I buy our first condo and with his help and expertise, we were able to later sell that condo at a profit and buy our dream house. Adam's knowledge and instincts are impressive. As sellers, we could not have been happier to have Adam in our corner. He did so much behind the scenes to get us the best possible offers--truly above and beyond. When it came time to buy, he gave us a clear and accurate picture of we would need to get our offer accepted. His advice and guidance was stellar. We always felt supported, valued, and like he genuinely cared about finding us the perfect home. Adam also has great contacts he regularly works with. We always felt like we were in the best hands, which was a relief through what can be an overwhelming process. We sing Adam's praises to anyone who will listen! Can't say enough about the time and effort he puts into his clients. read more

I elected to work with Adam to help sell my mothers home in Newton after she passed away. Because of his Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation, I felt Adam was uniquely qualified to handle this challenging and difficult process for me and my family. Adam took the time to listen to our concerns and needs. Based on this he helped craft a selling strategy and timeline that met our goals and expectations. Adam was patient and very helpful with the entire process. He was able to recommend several specialists to help clear the house out and get things appraised and he took care of many small issues that I was not available to deal with (i.e cleaning the gutters, making sure the house was up to code for the fire department). He was truly a full service Realtor! We were very pleased with Adam's service, professionalism and constant communication throughout. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking to buy or sell. - Don E. read more
