As first time home buyers in an extremely competitive market, it was a huge relief to have someone we trusted by our side to advise us in the process. She was flexible, easy to talk to, and patient with our questions. It was a long search with inventory being what it was, but Kim never ceased to be optimistic and worked tirelessly to find a home that met our needs. When we finally found the perfect place, and the chaos leading up to the closing began, Kim and her team proved to be invaluable assets in keeping us sane, organized, and excited rather than the frayed, incongruous bags of stress we would otherwise have become. She even helped us resolve a couple of small issues with the seller AFTER the closing. Highly recommended.

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Elizabeth! She was incredibly kind, patient, and…read moreattentive throughout our entire home search. She really listened to what we were looking for and never once pressured us toward a house that wasn't the right fit. Instead, she gave us thoughtful guidance and the occasional subtle nod when she thought a property might be a great match for us. She was also incredibly responsive and always willing to meet us for showings on short notice, which made such a difference in a competitive market. Elizabeth helped us find our dream home, coached us through every step of putting together an offer, and helped us land on a winning strategy that we still feel really proud of. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and gave us confidence without ever taking the decision-making out of our hands. We are so grateful for her patience, expertise, and genuine care throughout the process and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Elizabeth stood out from other real estate agents after our initial meeting.

Elizabeth displayed a commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us was evident in everything she did. What impressed us most was how personally invested Elizabeth was in our success as a buyer and seller. She went the extra mile at every step and made a stressful process feel manageable. We have an infant, and her level of attention to finding us a suitable home for our family was clear. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, expertise, and dedication. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, and truly committed real estate agent!

It was nerve-racking at first when my company announced last Fall to relocate my family as we had…read moreput so much effort to our first home. My company did help us with the move and referred a couple of realtors from their network. After interviewing them, I decided to search one more agent myself based on local sales results and list to sales price ratio. That's how I found Amber. So glad I did that additional step. She paid me a couple of visits in the winter to provide me with lots of helpful information to understand the local real estate market, statistics of recent sales, home selling strategies, and works that could be done to improve the value of the house. Even though the other two company-referred realtors had also great experiences and advices, we eventually chose Amber because: 1. Re/Max seems to have great presence in Melrose and are more recognized around. 2. Amber has access to a large network of online / offline media to market our property. The fact that her listing properties always get ranked high in Zillow definitely helps, especially with some of the strategies she recommended (see below). 3. Her detailed analysis of regional market and home improvement advices convinced me that she's truly knowledge and passionate about the local real estate market. 4. Finally, and that's really what won us vs another realtor - while the other realtor (who also had a lot of sales) arrogantly set our listing price low (so as to maybe allow her an easy/quick sale), Amber listened very carefully about our concerns (i.e. getting the best realistic price), and worked with us to develop a couple of detailed strategies, listing pros and cons, and backup plans under each scenario. Honestly, this step truly set her apart from the other realtor, and won us over. Listing process was smooth. She had pictures of our house taken by a professional photographer. And we set the listing price close/little bit below market value to attract more traffic. The house was listed on Tuesday with an Open House the coming Sunday. Between Tuesday and Sunday, private showings were arranged and handled very professionally. Thanks to her marketing network, and the right pricing strategy, we had an extremely successful Open House. Lots of traffic and multiple offers eventually helped drive the price up to 25K more than the listing price, 30K more than what the other realtor was recommending!!! Closing process was also very smooth. Amber worked closely with my relocation consultants, the buyer's agent, and their lawyers, to enable us to close on-time. All told, it took us 1 week to list the house before getting multiple offers, one and half month from the listing of the house to moving out/handing the keys over. So the lessons from our selling experiences are: First, the number of sales by realtors are not as important as the detailed strategies and how attentive your realtors are. In the home selling process, you want to have someone as understanding and responsive as Amber to help you throughout this process. Second, setting price low / on par to market value is counter-intuitive. But in a market where activities are picking up and with the access of a large online/offline marketing network, "pricing-to-sell" is really your best strategy. Buyers come and go like herds. As such, when possible, initiate a bidding war (among the buyers). Honestly, without Amber guiding us through this selling process, I would never have realized it myself. Overall, we are extremely thrilled to have had chosen Amber and followed her strategies and advices in selling our home. We highly recommend her to anyone who's planning to sell his or her house.
