    Peggy and her team showed us what a dedicated and experienced realtor can do. When we sold, she…read moreguided us through the entire process, letting us know what needed to be done to get top dollar for the house, and even more importantly, what didn't need to be done. It was truly a full service experience with staging consulting, pictures, videos and even drone cameras. Peggy is amazingly thorough and we could relax knowing that every detail was being taken care of. During the actual sale, she timed the open house showings perfectly to capitalize on a hot market. When many offers came in, she tirelessly negotiated with dozens of different of parties to assure that we got not only an incredible price but very attractive terms. We can't recommend Peggy and her team enough for making our sale a successful and seamless experience.

    This was the second home we have listed to sell, but the experience this time around far surpasses…read morethe quality of professionalism and services from the first sale. Karen and the Peggy Patenaude team is incredibly transparent, comprehensive, and genuine. From the initial sit down with Karen to discuss the market and our home's worth, we felt in the know through the rest of the process. The staging process transformed the appearance of the home and made it incredibly welcoming. It is no surprise that the house sold after the first weekend on the market OVER the asking price. I would without hesitation recommend Karen and The Peggy Patenaude Team looking to buy or sell.

    Worse service ever, worse costumer service also!!!!!!' Don't waste your money or time thereread more

    I purchased my first house with an agent at Lillian Montalto Signature Properties International,…read moreand I appreciated their help and service along the way. Initially, my experience with this company was not unpleasant, and when I was asked to fill out a Zillow review on the realtor agent, I did. In my honest and overall positive review, I mentioned that one area for improvement was that it wasn't until after my offer on a third house was already accepted that I was sent an Exclusive Right to Buy Agreement, which outlined an unusual commission fee that I, as a buyer, was responsible for (the commission from the seller was simply not enough for this company). At this point, since my offer was already accepted, I did not want to risk losing the house by rejecting the agreement the realtor agent just sent me, I signed the agreement and paid the extra commission fee. If the commission fee was disclosed ahead of time -- that is, if I was given the chance to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the agent's service before my offer got accepted, I would not have proceeded with the company, but they really left me no choice but paying them more than just the commission from the seller. After receiving her review on Zillow, the realtor agent immediately reached out to me and offered me a refund on the extra commission fee as a compensation for her mistake. However, 5 days afterwards when I reached out again, she said she was sorry and could not refund me because her boss would not authorize it. Overall, not disclosing costs ahead of time or failing to fulfill promises on a refund represented rather disappointing service to their clients. I reached out to Lillian hoping that this matter could have better resolved, but instead of offering solutions to my dissatisfaction, I got patronized and more lectures on why agents are paid on commissions. Again, I am truly grateful for their service in my first home purchase, but I would not do business with this company again.

    Elizabeth helped me find a new home in Boston under SUPER stressful conditions (i.e. moving across…read morethe country during a pandemic). She was responsive and followed my lead with communication preferences (text, calls and emails). She did not flood me with communications but responded to my inquiries quickly. My favorite aspect of working with Elizabeth was that she was direct and precise in her communications. She provided requested information in a friendly, professional and clear manner. I have worked with several other Realtors and their cloudy, rambling communications made transactions REALLY difficult. Elizabeth wasn't like that at all. I trusted the information she provided and any inconsistencies were due to other Realtors and not her. I told Elizabeth my home and neighborhood preferences and she stuck to my guidelines. I loved that she knew about the area and could advise me on what was a good deal or not. I also appreciated that she communicated with seller realtors and got an idea about offers and negotiable items. I also value that Elizabeth drove around and did video call showings with me around my schedule. She had excellent knowledge of structural components and told me why certain things were significant. She was candid when places looked better in listing pictures than in person. As a bonus, Elizabeth was also super helpful when I was having problems with my short-term rental. She let me know about reasonable expectations with my landlord and my responsibilities as a tenant.

    Before working with Elizabeth, we had been trying to buy a house for over 2 years with no success…read more We now own our first house after working with Elizabeth for just 3 months. She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

    Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. If you're an engineer type like me, he'll give you a spreadsheet market analysis, if you are are more mood and feel, he will speak to that. 5) Great negotiator 6) Super punctual and responsive, we pulled off a 30-day closing window which wouldn't have been possible w/o Rich's professionalism I could go on. So glad we found him.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!
