I should start off by saying that this review is long, LONG, overdue...renos take longer than…read moreexpected--sorry, Heather! With Heather's help, I purchased my first-ever property in January 2018. A condo in Waltham. The way we found out about Heather is actually a little funny... I was working with someone who I didn't seem to connect with, and started a new search for local realtors. My search led me exactly here, to Yelp, where I read so many great things about her. Getting in touch with her was very simple, and we clicked right away. For just about two years, Heather took me and my girlfriend to countless properties all over the metro-west, each time offering her honesty and expertise. Apart from selling properties, she also knows how to fix them up!--She is a jack of all trades. What started off as a very long list of must-haves slowly but surely boiled down to essentials...It's pretty funny now. But Heather was so accommodating, so patient, and always made her best effort at making sure we were getting into something that we would be happy with in the long-run. She never made a fuss about working around our work schedules, no matter how early or late.....or if we were in the midst of a nor'easter! She's always easy to reach by phone, text, or email. We never ever felt rushed or pressured. Heather's fun and easy-going attitude made a world of difference during such a complicated and long process. She became more than our realtor; she became a family friend. We are so glad to have met her. I'm confident that any one who works with her will feel exactly the same way, and we are very much looking forward to working with her again in the future. We love you, Heather. Thank you so much for everything. Sam and Krystal

Heather Heather Heather...What can i say about her…read more As a born and raised New Yorker, I accepted a job in the greater Boston area in Q4 2016. I began my new job in October. As part of the job offer, I received a relocation package where they connected me to Heather. Reading up on her website, she is known to be a relocation specialist. She is a specialist. She knows her ins and outs of houses/condos. She knows whats to look for. We connected early on, and I told her what I was looking for, price range, location, etc... and then she went to work. Once I got in the area, she took time out of her busy schedule to show me around the neighborhoods of Somerville, Brighton, Arlington, Watertown, Belmont. She is very knowledgeable of the greater Boston are. She knows which markets are hot and which are probably hard to re-sell if i ever plan to move on to a bigger place. Looking for a 2BR condo, we saw a slew of places. However, when I accepted an offer in NY on my property, she worked even harder to find me places for me. Finally I was connected a beautiful newly renovated condo in Watertown. Heather worked for me and was able to get an accepted offer within my price range. She worked hard on the P&S agreement and connected me with a real estate attorney in the area that she trusts. Unfortunately, the process of selling my NY coop and purchasing the condo in MA took much longer than anticipated due to my NY sale (another story), Heather did her best to console the MA seller that I am close and that I am eager to buy and I am willing to do whatever it takes. Eventually everything panned out. Heather gave me an awesome gift when she handed me the keys. She even showed up to my closing! It just shows how much she cares for her clients. I feel that she goes above and beyond to make her clients at ease. I was stressed out a lot because of the delays, and she kept on reaching out to me to reassure me. She was really helpful during the hard times. Finally closed this past Monday and moved in on Tuesday. She still helps me out when I ask for it - connecting me to the right people that she trusts. Oh I can continue to go on and talk about our trips to see different homes/areas but then this review will become a book. Let's just say that Heather kept me engaged and on my toes throughout the whole process. It was a joy, pleasure, and honor to work with her. I am so glad that my relocation specialist connected me with her. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a place in the greater Boston area!

Initially, I was looking for a condo in the Salem area and Colleen was quite assertive with sending me properties that matched my interest. She was very patient and accommodating, working with my schedule, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Colleen, as she has great insight and knowledge of the North Shore. She is very professional, easy-going, and you feel comfortable working with her and expressing your thoughts - which she then uses to find better matches to your search! 5-stars, she's as good as it gets!

We had looked at several condos and found one that we loved with her help. Having dealt with real estate agents in the past they can be either pushy or just apathetic but Colleen was just awesome in every sense. I highly recommend her.

A few years ago, my wife and I purchased our first home with Karen. We were first introduced to…read moreKaren from my Uncle who knew Karen from a Real Estate Work Group that they participated in. Karen came highly recommended as she is very knowledgeable of the Market and Properties within the Essex & Middlesex Counties. I remember being anxious, because as you may know buying real-estate is never clear cut and can be over whelming. The experience was pleasant from the first time we sat with Karen. Karen really paid attention to our situation and explained with great detail any questions and concerns we had throughout the buying process. Karen is exceptionally good about answering phone calls, responding to emails and is always in touch with any information (good and bad). Karen is extremely honest and motivated and will show a variety of homes that interest you. Working with Karen, I did not feel pressured to buy the first property that crossed our path, instead felt at ease knowing someone was truly there to give great advice and guidance. Karen is very personable, courteous and friendly. Karen is a great listener and has great strategies when buying/selling homes. To this day, Karen and I stay in touch whether is to say hello to see how things are going or providing us with market updates/trends. There's no doubt if there's a time when we decide to sell our place to buy another, Karen will be getting a call from us!

My husband and I worked with Karen two years ago when we purchased our first house. Being first…read moretime homebuyers we were both overwhelmed by the process and nervous about making such a large financial investment. We were looking for an agent who we could trust to help guide us through the process. Thankfully we found Karen, who came highly recommended to us by several of my husband's coworkers. We were in the market for a house at the beginning of the spring and given the price point we were interested in, houses were coming and going from the market within a few days. While it was at times stressful, I was amazed at Karen's dedication, responsiveness and willingness to meet with us and get us into properties as they came on the market. When we finally found what would one day be our house, Karen advised us through the bidding process (the same day the house went on the market!) and worked with the seller's agent to negotiate a sale that won us the house (there were multiple bidders!). As part of our offer, we had a long closing period and Karen keep in close contact with us throughout the duration and even connected us with home inspectors and mortgage brokers along the way. She was incredibly supportive and helpful - we couldn't thank her enough! Overall, Karen was a pleasure to work with and a wonderful buyer's agent. From the first time we met with her I remember feeling more at ease and confident with the process. She is truly knowledgeable about real estate and gives sound, objective advice. We still keep in contact with Karen and give her regular updates on the house. We would recommend her services to any of our family and friends and will absolutely be giving Karen a call when we decide to sell our home and buy another.

It took me a while to write this review because it was hard to put into words just how amazing of a…read morerealtor Judie is. Really, the best of the best. I was looking for a house in Salem for 4 years. I toured countless houses, and tried working with a few realtors. Most of them would just pressure me to buy a house that I wasn't interested in. Then I linked up with Judie, and two months later she helped me find my dream house. She gave me a heads up before the house even hit the market. During the process of closing, anytime I didn't know something, she had the answer, and anytime I needed a contractor, she had someone who had a better price and quality than anyone I could find. Most importantly whenever there was a problem, she had a solution and took initiative. On top of that she is such an unbelievably pleasant person that you could discuss anything with. Buying a house can be stressful, but she made it such a smooth experience. Now she is helping me sell my condo, and as I am about to put it on the market she brings those same attributes, making the selling experience so much more manageable with a busy work schedule. To sum up, Judie *will* help you find your dream home (or sell it). With her experience, expertise, and connections she will make the process smooth. Most importantly her wonderfully kind personality will make you feel at ease knowing you're working with a master of the trade. Thank you Judie, you're the best!

Her patience, understanding, attention to details, and thoughtfulness made the process as painless as it could be. Judie went above and beyond to make sure that myself and my neighbors were protected and safe from visitors during showings and open houses in the middle of a pandemic. Her legal knowledge shines through when it needs to, which saved tons of headaches! Judie was always available to help or just chat when I was nervous about the selling. She kept in contact throughout the process and the pandemic. She cares and knows her stuff! I could not recommend a better realtor. Judie's support and expertise are second to none! I can't imagine having worked with anyone else and am glad I found her!!!
