They gave us clarity of what things were important and which things were not necessary/efficient. They have an excellent electrician/carpenter who did his work quickly with excellent quality and very fair pricing (well below other bids). They helped us staging the home and removing items at well below prices we got from other vendors. They put the home on the market, had 3 showings, and we got 4 bids, one of which well exceeded our hopes - all in less than a week. They worked well with our lawyer and took care of the closing. I cannot imagine a better experience than we had with John and Michelle!

In this crazy seller's market of Spring 2021, Rick was our amazing buyer's agent. Rick helps us…read morethrough the mess of multiple bids, the craze of contingencies, and the constant, rapid action each week. Decades of experience meant he was ready for any twist and he knows the neighborhoods so well! He was always safe, he responded to our texts or emails in minutes, and he knows someone for anything you might need in the process he doesn't do himself. We could not have gotten our place in this market without an agent as great.

We just closed on our new home in Reading with Rick Nazzaro of Colonial Manor Realty (not Valerie…read moreT's house below ha) Our experience with Rick was also top notch. We were a bit apprehensive that since it was his listing and he was representing both the seller and us as the buyers that he would be somehow biased. I've got to say at no time did we ever feel he wasn't looking out for our interests. We signed the p&s quite a while before the closing (2+ months) to take care of some things financially - this meant 2+ months of pestering Rick for various things - inspections and making himself available to open the house whenever we asked for various estimates on work we wanted to have done. He always made himself available via phone, email and text. Even AFTER the closing, I had a few questions that I contacted Rick about and my emails were returned promptly. Rick's professionalism, expertise and obvious passion for what he does made a daunting process much easier, I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. 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.

Rich was a great agent as he helped us buy our first house! He helped us navigate the process from…read morestart to finish. 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!

There was never any pressure applied from him to sell me on a house. It was all about what I wanted. A bonus about George is that his previous experience working for contractors allows him to give you guidance about the appropriate matinenance/repairs that you will have to take into account when looking at property that will fit within your budget. George is realistic when it comes to the market, negotiating, and is always available to answer any questions you have. I have recommended George to friends and they have the same feelings. Overall, if you are looking to buy or seel real estate and you really feel that you need an agent to work with you and guide you through the process, you should consider George.

My husband and I are first-time homebuyers who were looking to buy in Melrose during a very…read morecompetitive market (late 2022/early 2023). On a whim, we went to an open house in Melrose and decided to make an offer. We contacted Kim Perrotti and she helped us put together an offer (and get pre-approved!) in under 24 hours. Although we got outbid with that first house, we ended up getting the second house we put on offer on, which is unheard of in this market. Kim was never pushy and did not waste our time showing us any houses that we weren't interested in or that didn't meet our criteria. For the house we ended up in, we worked with Jay Morneault on our offer. With Jay's guidance, we were able to put together a winning offer despite there being 11 other offers. We are so grateful to Jay and the entire team for helping us achieve our dream of home ownership, especially in this competitive market. They know the Melrose area incredibly well and they helped make the home buying process as streamlined and stress-free as possible. I would definitely work with the Kim Perrotti team again when buying or selling in Melrose.

If you are looking for an honest agent who sincerely cares about finding you the right home, then…read morelook no further than Aldo Masciave of Mariam's PRO-TEAM. There are too many agents out there who care only about the sales commision when working with their customers. Aldo is NOT one of them. He was clear from the start; "I am not selling you a home, I am consulting you in finding the right home". These words were very comforting for my wife and I. He was very prepared and knowledgable about each property we saw, and there were MANY. He was beyond patient, and did not want us to lose confidence in the home search and would even send us emails during his own family time. We would highly recommend Aldo to anyone looking to purchase a new property. We wish him nothing but future success in his ventures. Sincerely, Michael and Pamela Gilman

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!
