We had so many moments when we could've put in an offer, or we could've settled for less, but Melanie did not allow that to happen. With her expertise and her ability to just fully understand what we truly wanted, she was able to give us advice that was thoughtful and she would not let us settle for less than what we wanted! Even when we had questions or any concerns, Melanie was super responsive and made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we know this is far from true. She really helped guide us through the whole home buying process and made sure we felt 100% comfortable before moving forward in the process. She helped us get our offer accepted on a home where she could tell that we could really picture ourselves, and 4 months in, my husband and I couldn't be happier living in our new home!

I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area! I was…read moreexpecting the home buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Melanie was there through all of it, and I closed on my first home this week. She's responsive to questions, knowledgeable (and happy to share that knowledge), and reliable. Beyond that, she was easy to talk to, kind, and fun to be around. It can be difficult to place your trust in someone with a big milestone like purchasing a home. Melanie is definitely someone you can trust to make the process easier and more transparent.

Rich Rosa was fantastic.

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!

Can I give her 6 stars?…read more We had an exceptional experience working with our real estate agent. From start to finish, Elizabeth went above and beyond the call of duty and consistently demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, warmth and attention to detail. Elizabeth stood out from other real estate agents after our initial meeting. She truly took the time to understand our needs, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made herself available when we needed guidance or had questions. 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!

Elizabeth helped us buy a home from across the country under often difficult circumstances…read more What really stood out was how she approached neighborhoods/towns. Instead of just lining up a few properties in our price range, Elizabeth showed us a wide range of options across different areas. She explained what each neighborhood felt like. She pointed out where things were, how traffic moved, what the vibe was, etc. She talked about schools, commute times, which neighborhoods were quieter. She answered every question and concern patiently and thoroughly. She got what we cared about. She listened early on when we talked about what we needed, and then she remembered it. That meant the homes she showed us weren't random. They fit what we were actually looking for. And when things got messy during closing (they always do), Elizabeth sorted it out. She kept us in the loop even when we were across the country and couldn't do anything ourselves. You can tell she wants her clients to have good outcomes and be happy, not just close deals. Buying from out of state is hard. Elizabeth made it manageable and we really appreciate it.

My wife and I lived in the greater Boston area for 30+ and during that time, had either sold or…read morebought four dwellings. As a result, we were pretty familiar with the local real estate scene. Having shopped for houses in Arlington, we knew about Steve McKenna, whom we'd met during open houses and had left a very favorable impression. So, when deciding to sell our Arlington home at the end of 2021, our first choice was to work with Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team @ Gibson Sotheby's International Realty. When we had decided to sell the house, we'd just gone through a family crisis and had much to deal with. We consider ourselves lucky to have chosen Steve and his team to represent us as they provided great guidance, seamless communication and comfort during what for us was a difficult time. At our first meeting, McKenna provided a very thorough overview of the Arlington real estate market and a strategy (including timelines) for selling the house. Particularly important, Steve and his team supplemented our efforts by helping to stage the house, keep the house clean (as there were frequent viewings), figure out the listing price, sort through the bids and execute the sale. We strongly recommend you consider hiring Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team if looking for or selling real estate. These folks have their finger on the pulse of the local real estate market, are smart and provide great insights and guidance. Also, everyone is quite personable and great to interact with. I doubt you could find a better group to help you find our sell a home!

I didn't even think I COULD buy a home at this stage in my life, but Ilya had me meet with a great mortgage advisor who showed me exactly what I can afford, and how much my monthy payments would be. Ilya was a great realtor, really listened to what I was looking for, and was able to show me properties that really fit the bill. The great thing about Ilya too is that's he's a fun guy to be around, with a great personality.

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!
