We used Boardwalk Real Estate Corp to both sell our first home and buy our second home (our dream…read morehome!). I have been completely satisified with the customer service they have provided. Joyce Kiley was our realtor. She has been in the business for years! She is very knowledgable about the area, knows the market and establishes a fair price. The ultimate decision is up to you as to what you want to sell your house for or put in an offer, but since we don't do it all the time and she does, we took her suggestions and guidance very seriously. She is very attentive, friendly and knows her stuff and many people in the business. She has given us numerous recommendations for loan officers, home inspectors, etc. She provides a whole market analysis on your property. We listed and sold our "funky" house in a month! :) I didn't really like the website they use to send out houses that match your criteria - we used Redfin more often then not. But I did like the feedback application/website they used to provide us with up to date feedback from all the different buyers that have come through our house! I highly recommend Boardwalk, and especially Joyce! She is well known in the real estate business in the area, we went to two open houses and the listing agents both knew Joyce and said great things about her!

Exceptional Real Estate Partner - Phil Delivers Results…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Phil at Park Hou Group through Splice on multiple transactions over the years. Phil helped me purchase a single-family home in Cambridge, buy a townhouse condo in Somerville, and later sell the condo. Each experience exceeded my expectations. Going Above and Beyond from Day One For my Cambridge purchase, Phil's team secured an early showing before the open house, allowing me to submit a competitive offer ahead of the crowd. In Cambridge's cutthroat market, this strategic move made all the difference--I'm confident I wouldn't have gotten the house otherwise. Phil provided an incredibly detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) that gave me the confidence to make a strong but justified offer. Expert Advice That Pays Dividends One of Phil's best recommendations was converting my 2-bed, 1.5-bath home into a 3-bed, 2-bath. This renovation created a versatile home office and guest room, and when I relocated, significantly increased the property's rental value. It's rare to find a realtor who thinks so strategically about long-term value. Unmatched Expertise and Resources Phil's personal experience with rental properties and renovations sets him apart. As a first-time renovator, I had countless questions, and Phil never hesitated to share his knowledge--even well after closing. I later learned he develops properties himself and manages investment properties for other clients, which explains his deep understanding of what to buy, what to avoid, and how to maximize ROI on improvements. A Full-Service Team with Vetted Professionals Phil has built an impressive network of trusted vendors--inspectors, architects, contractors, loan officers, attorneys, photographers, stagers, and more. When he makes a recommendation, I don't waste time researching alternatives because I know they're competent and fairly priced. This network is invaluable and saves tremendous time and stress. Proactive Marketing That Gets Results When selling my condo, Phil convinced me to stage the property (excellent advice) and staffed the open house with multiple team members to ensure every visitor felt attended to. What impressed me most was his follow-through--he personally called every prospective buyer multiple times for feedback and to maintain engagement. Phil doesn't just list properties; he actively sells them. Always Available, Always Professional Throughout every transaction, Phil was accessible via text and phone, answering questions and easing anxieties. His communication style is both professional and reassuring during what can be a stressful process. I've recommended Phil to all my friends because I genuinely believe you won't find a better realtor in the Boston area. His combination of market knowledge, strategic thinking, and exceptional service makes him an invaluable partner in any real estate transaction.

Splice Realty is and has been amazing…read more They were the reality group that help my partner and I brought our first home. On every step of the way, they walk and talk us though it. As first time home buyer, there were many things that we didn't know or weren't aware of. Splice educated us on so many different things such as flood zones, tax, and other fees. They made as feel comfortable with every decision and empower every decision with facts. They honesty and fact checking was something we needed. Buying a house is difficult but factors such as the pandemic and inflation doesn't make anything easier. So we highly recommend this group. They really do have your back, have your best interest, make time for any questions you have, and never rush the sale. Thank you, Splice!

Impossible you say?! Well to that, I assure you that you have not yet met Chrissy. For if you have, you have likely already experienced perhaps the most seamless and personable rental process in history. Not only was she very easy to speak to over the phone, but she was empathetic and accommodating with regards my constraints (I emphasize this as it was a holiday). I have a habit of moving at a fast pace, which was pushed into overdrive considering flight-determined deadline. While this can, from time to time, throw most people off or be a little overwhelming, she managed to get everything done with the highest level of professionalism and in record time. As for my new home, it is day 9 of my occupancy and I couldn't be happier. Really, I couldn't have found a better place to live. Thanks Chrissy!

IN MARINA WE TRUST!…read more Go with THE BEST and FORGET the REST! Talk about above and beyond? Realtors often recommend improvements to boost your return, but then leave it to you to make it happen. If you only had the time, right! Marina Masciarelli Tramontozzi (now THAT's ITALIAN, eh!) was the only realtor to bring in a dedicated, competent, turnkey contractor that works on Marina's schedule, for the price promised and does all the "right" work needed for the elusive Marina "WOW" factor that really sells. She transitioned a "lived in 45 years, needs a lot of work" home into a turnkey 32% price increase yielding an added $100,000 in profit in 30 days! All I had to do was Trust in Marina! Simply THE BEST! Trust in Marina...you'll be impressed!

She provided expert advice during every step of the process, was kind and supportive as we made the decision to sell the house that was our home for 37 years, and used her experience and skill to match us with a buyer who we could count on to complete the sale with ease. We couldn't be happier, and highly recommend True North Realty to anyone who wants to make selling (or buying) a home a pleasant and rewarding experience.

They know the good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. You can search all you want online, but you're never going to see "this place is in a bad neighborhood" on a listing. I definitely recommend these guys. Plus, it didn't cost us anything to use them. Chris has contacted me personally. They follow up and follow through, and to me, that's the most important thing.

Mike and Shawna were amazing realtors to work with for finding and buying our new home as well as…read moreselling our existing one. From day one, they were attentive, kind, and fun as they got to know us and what we were looking for, and they were so helpful in both keeping eagle eyes on the market, advising us on locations and details of listings, and arranging visits and accompanying us on both private showings and open houses. As we know, this was a tough time to be looking for a house, and we of course narrowed our search to one of the most competitive towns in the country right now, but Mike & Shawna were great throughout the process and they made it enjoyable despite the difficulty. When we made offers, they really supported us in making good ones without overpaying, and when we finally got an offer accepted they were pros at the agreement process. Selling our condo was a breeze in comparison, and they did such a great job pricing it right, preparing everything, and doing the showings, resulting in several offers over our expectations. Everything from the first call to the closing went as smoothly as it could in this market, and we landed in a home that surpassed our expectations for under our budget, and we're loving it! Thank you Mike & Shawna! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone from first time home buyers to established homeowners.

If you're buying, here's what to expect: - Lisa will sit down with you and conduct a friendly interview on what you want to buy. - Lisa will recommend fantastic experts as part of your buying team: home insurance, lawyers, and mortgage lenders. The only recommendation we did not use was the home inspector due to scheduling and our own prior use. EVERY recommendation Lisa gives is a "tried and true" team member. They are all excellent. We used Jeff Nelson from Bank of America, Jeff Shargel's law office, and Matt Davison for the homeowner's insurance. All were excellent. - Lisa will email you listings of what you want, schedule showings, and give you open house notifications too. We saw a ton of properties in many towns -- Lisa does a lot of legwork. She even picked us up at the train station once when our car broke down. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! - Lisa is organized, fights for you, and is always your advocate. She asks questions you didn't even think of asking. - Lisa is super friendly, confident, smart, and a FANTASTIC negotiator. Even at our final home walkthrough, she found a minor item needing repair, got us monetary protection in the 11th hour (at closing!), and worked with the lawyers. She does this all with panache and friendliness. - Lisa is honest and tells you what you need to hear. She delivers bad news with such friendly skill and diplomacy, that you can't help but move forward with a better feeling instead of a negative one. She is such an excellent advocate. I highly, highly recommend her. She has a great communication style. Go to Lisa! We were in such good hands with many life changes happening all at once -- Lisa was there every step of the way. Happy house hunting! :)

We tried it on our own for a while…read moreand realized it was a pretty complicated thing to take on, so we took our chances with the small independent real estate office down my street and I asked for Lisa based on her glowing reviews. Long story short: she was everything and more! She took us all over the city and surrounding towns to search for the perfect home. Every weekend she updated us with open houses, checked in with us often and when we did attend showings together, she knew just what to ask the seller's agent. She remembered what we both specifically looked for in a home and went out of her way to find that. She was always available and responsive to calls or emails. Lisa is not only a wonderful person, full of energy and so friendly, she is extremely adept at negotiating with sellers agents and hooking us up to excellent lenders and attorney. We felt she was really looking out for us every step of the way, and count her as a friend! It was a memorable and positive experience buying our first home at Griffin, and we have been telling all friends and family about our experience, and hope this entry will help you feel confident about working with them too! We are also planning on coming back to Lisa when we eventually sell and buy our next home. 5 stars all the way!
