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.

Melanie is the best and was truly the best resource for my husband and I when navigating the ins…read moreand outs of purchasing our home, especially as first-time homebuyers! 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!

This may be a smaller agency, but it really packs a serious punch with the agents it has working…read morefor it. This agency handles Dedham, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Norwood, Westwood and Hyde Park. We discovered this agency after seeing a property we were interested in and contacted the listing agent. It happened to be Lisa Iantosca handling the listing and she was quick to conect with us and get us into the property. Not only is Lisa experienced with selling but she is personable and her follow up to emails and phone calls is exceptional. She is not pushy and has a passion for finding people the right house within their price range. She is very knowledgeable about the surrounding neighborhoods and is proactive when it comes to meeting the needs of the buyer. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone searching for a new house. Call Lisa and start the process and before you know it, you will own a home!

I should have written this when we bought the house earlier this year, but Vogt Realty was great…read more My wife and I worked with Margie who made the process of buying our first house very easy and enjoyable (I have heard that it can be a nightmare for a lot of people). She listened to exactly what we were looking for a brought us to a variety of houses that were within our price range and met exactly what we wanted. We were able to see a lot of houses on one day and then made an offer two days later. The hardest part was trying to narrow down the houses, because Margie was able to find a multiple houses that would have been perfect. Margie helped us throughout the whole process and made it very easy to close quickly on the house (it took less than a month). We still love our new to us home and would recommend Margie to anyone looking for a realtor. She knew the area, knew the neighborhoods, and gave us a lot of help when putting together an offer. I never felt pressured into anything. We actually went with a house closer to the lower end of our price range and we never once felt like we were being pushed into something more expensive or that we couldn't walk away if negotiations with the seller went bad. Margie really empowered us to find the perfect home.

When I worked with Linda a little while back to sell my home in Boston, she was amazing. To be…read morehonest, I was intimidated by the process. But she explained in detail everything I needed to know. Real estate transactions can be highly stressful, but I can't imagine having a better experience. Thanks, Linda!

Buying or selling a house can be incredibly daunting and having an agent who is an energetic,…read moreinformed and most especially "on your side" makes all the difference. Last year a friend recommended Linda to us when we were seeking to sell our home in Roslindale and we have counted ourselves very lucky since. Linda is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market in general - she was a source of incredible insight into the market, the psychologies involved and how best to showcase our home. She also is a really vital part of the community as well. She knows the shop owners, florists, restaurant owners nearby by name. It's clear hers is not just a "market area" but a community of which she is an active and involved part. Linda was an astute professional knowing all the ins-and-outs of the regulations and processes and presented us with updated market comparisons as we went through the process. She helped us to be informed as to the market fluctuations (in a very topsy-turvy time). We put ourselves entirely in Linda's hands and she and her Team helped polish our modest house into a showpiece and walked us through every step to the happy sale. At the same time we were selling a house, Linda also helped me to get my next place, which I adore! Trying to sell one house and buy another is incredibly stressful and I was having difficulties on my own but then Linda helped steer me through beautifully. Even though it was outside her normal area of Boston she had a great grasp on the market there as well. It was her sage advice and guidance that enabled me to swoop in and get this new place in very competitive circumstances. She was invaluable in dealing successfully with somewhat antagonistic seller agent, recommending an incredible lawyer and knowing the best contractors I've ever had the good fortune to work with. To say Linda was there as a positive, supportive and knowledgeable advocate in a way that changed my life for the better is not an understatement. Linda was incredibly active, involved and committed as well as being a warm and generous advocate (unlike other real estate agents who might be passive or seem only interested in their cut). She is also a delight to spend time with - friendly, funny and kind. My Christmas card list is not big but Linda is on it! It can be scary to put yourself into a "dog-eat-dog" competitive and confusing real estate market but if you are looking for a warm, energetic, savvy agent who values community and has great knowledge and integrity, look no further than Linda. She is a jewel!

So, at no point did she actually generate and have me sign a written offer. Why do realtors like this even have open houses if you already have a buyer? I guess they like wasting people's time. Just another front to go through the process of acting like you are showing the property, when you already have a buyer lined up. Max achievers in wasting people's time.

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.

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!

II had a health scare which briefly delayed our ability to go to market and the market changed just enough in that time that we missed a bigger sale price, but she rode it out with us She didn't let us accept a lowball offer yet she kept our expectations grounded and realistic. We got a good deal on a reasonable amount of time on the market. Last year we had a condo we wanted to sell. She expertly handled that and the impossible HOA/Management company in addition to finding us a reasonably priced rental in an owner occupied house. I can't say enough good things about Danielle and Parkway Real Estate!

We just moved out of Ridgecrest and I can assure you, it was the most disgusting apartment we have…read moreever lived in. Sure, its absolutely stunning on the outside and for the most part decent on the inside... But once you settle in, bugs. A LOT of bugs. I mean, 10-15 big flies a day. Black spiders, and beetles in our carpet and tons of ants. We are both extremely clean people too, so it had nothing to do with us. Our neighbor actually told us that they had a similar problem and even worse with rats. If you are really considering living here, check outside you'll see a rat trap, underneath your bathroom sink for rat traps in a wire type of thing, and white moulding (they'll tell you they just put it there because thats what they do to a vacant apartment, but they are full of it). Please- rethink before you move in to this place. I'm not sure how the town-homes are, but do not consider the apartments.
