I had first called Ed a few years ago when I was thinking about selling me place. He gave me good advice, was always happy to speak with me, always responded in a timely manner, and I decided not to sell my place. So when I did decide to finally sell my place, I called Ed and he still responded in a timely manner and was happy to meet with me. He was one of three realtors I met with and he came in with the best action plan on how to sell my place. The entire process was quick, incredibly efficient and best of all, took very little work on my part. He has very good knowledge of the market, the area, and is a problem solver. On top of it all, he is a darn nice person and very easy to work with! I could not have asked for a less stressful and positive real estate experience and Ed is a very big factor in that.

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.

If I buy or sell a property, I will use Tatyana again. Tatyana work diligently on helping me find tenants for my investment property.

They charge an $40 application fee per tenant - this is illegal in MA for landlords, but not for real estate agents, so they get away with it. Our agent admitted it's purely just a revenue generator for them - it also doesn't apply to your broker fee. 2. They ask for most of their fees via Venmo, which has to be the sketchiest way of sending any kind of transaction. 3. If you go in expecting to tour a single place, expect the agent to line up a bunch of other showings and pressure you into them. We ended up in an apartment with a dog, despite telling the broker we were looking for no-pet buildings due to a severe pet allergy.

First off, don't let the length of my search deter you, as that was my fault with my ever-changing parameters. Nevertheless, Chris stood patiently by my side as we bounced around from neighborhood to neighborhood (Allston, Brighton, Brookline, JP, Dorchester, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford). He also was very accommodating to my work schedule and would meet with me as late as 8pm in some instances. He walked me through every step of the home-buying process, and also had every resource that I needed along the way. All in all, Chris was just a pleasure to work with and I'd definitely work with him again in the future as soon as I pay off this mortgage. I should note, at some point, Chris had to take a week or so off, but in the interim, set me up with his colleague, Xavier, to continue showings. Chris still somehow managed to answer emails while he was on vacation.

We were early in our search for a first home and hadn't yet found a real estate agent to work with, but after meeting Collin we knew he was the right match. Straight from the get-go and throughout our entire home-buying adventure, Collin was warm, patient, supportive, informative, responsive, and approachable. He was the best possible guide and advocate we could have hoped for, explaining each step of the process so we'd know what to expect and when, providing well-informed insight when we were preparing to make offers or negotiations, and folding helpful questions into conversations with seller's agents, home inspectors, builders, and HVAC professionals, that we wouldn't have thought to ask. On top of all this, Collin was invaluable when it came to helping us make connections with other professionals we needed. Home insurance agent on short notice? Done. Amazing interior designer? Boom. Sharp-as-a-tack real estate attorney? Wish granted. Collaborating with Collin was such an enjoyable experience; he always had our backs and was ready to skillfully shepherd us through whatever unfolded. I can say with confidence that if Collin had been captain of the Titanic, it would have arrived in New York City ahead of schedule AND unscathed. Luckily for us (unluckily for them), he was born a bit too late for that and chose to navigate real estate deals instead of oceans. We truly cannot say enough positive things about working alongside Collin and are beyond grateful for the big role he played in putting us in our new home!
