Joe and his team made the process of purchasing my first home as easy as possible. Joe was there to…read morewalk me through all steps of the process from viewing the property to making an offer and closing on the property. He made sure I always knew what the next steps would be in the process and what I needed to do to complete them. Additionally, he provided me with great recommendations for a loan officer, a home inspector and real estate attorney. This was extremely helpful to me as a first-time buyer because it was one less thing I had to stress about. I cannot recommend Joe and his team enough when you are searching for your new home! They made the seemingly daunting homebuying process as easy and painless as possible for me as a first-time homebuyer.

He was very attentive, personable, and took the time to carefully listen to what I needed, and then suggested a few units - he was right on. It was everything I wanted. I really felt like he took the time to really listen and shared his knowledge of the different available options. I had reached out a bit early and as soon as units became available, he took the initiative to follow up with me to schedule a time. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend him if you're looking for your next home! You want someone who cares, is knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind.

We recently bought our very first home after moving to the Boston area from Seattle. When we met…read moreKaren Stensrude at an open house and found out she had also recently moved from Seattle, we decided to sit down with her and see what kinds of help she could give us as a potential realtor. Karen is a bulldog on behalf of her clients. Buying a home is probably always a stressful and confusing affair, and buying our first house definitely was, but Karen made this probably as smooth and coordinated as it could be. She went out of her way to find us properties that she knew we would love, meeting with us at weird hours of the night when all of our schedules aligned. And, most importantly, she never made us once feel bad about it (although we still feel bad about that late night trip to Mattapan -- our bad!). What really made Karen stand out (and made me actually sit down to write a review) was her absolute dedication to her clients, a dedication that goes way beyond her responsibilities as a realtor. We closed on our house three weeks ago, and she continued to follow-up with us and pursue additional discounts that she may have found from the paperwork. But when she also found out about a really humiliating and discriminatory experience with a contractor who came into our home and made a number of homophobic and misogynist statements (we're a gay couple), Karen went way above and beyond, not because she saw it as her duty as a realtor but as a human being. Without prompting, Karen reached out to the corporate offices of the company who sent this contractor, pushing them to make this right and even helped to spread the word to other potential clients not to work with this company. She is, frankly, amazing, and we're really glad we managed to get the chance to work with her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy a house or find an apartment.

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.

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.

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!

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.
