She was extremely attentive to our needs and ensured that we were thoroughly happy with the place before making an offer on it, often reminding us of aspects of the property that did not suit our needs. Expect nothing but candor from her when it comes to the location, value, or the property itself. We also appreciated her attention to various deadlines throughout the process. She was very proactive, preparing us for each stage of the process ahead of time.

We felt comfortable with her from the beginning - she was knowledgeable, professional, and very responsive to all of our questions. We felt comfortable with her right from the start, and knew that we could trust her judgment and recommendations. She was constantly sending me listings and got us into many places before the open house. This proved to be a huge advantage in getting our offer accepted. It's been well over 6 months since we've moved in, and we still talk about how lucky we were to have Kristy as our realtor! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

A year after…read morefirst talking with Kristy about what simultaneously selling and buying a home would look like she reached out to patiently and gently prod us in light of the market. Together we did a walk through of our condo and came up with a daunting to do list. Long story short, we did it all, from paint touch ups to rebuilding our back porch steps. We were on the market for 4 days, had 10 offers, and sold significantly over asking. Less than three months after first putting our condo on the market we moved into our new home in time for Christmas. Kristy's professionalism is second to none. She knows her stuff. I never doubted that she listened to us and that she understood what we wanted, even when we weren't able to articulate it. I can't recommend her enough. Just call her and you'll understand.

I cannot thank our real estate agent Dante enough for the incredible job he did with our home…read morebuying process. From the start, he helped us through the bidding process on a home which resulted in the seller accepting our offer over another, which I directly attribute to Dante and his knowledge of the market. The standard of service that he provided us exceeded anything I thought was even possible. He kept us informed and updated us every step of the process, worked very closely with our lawyer and mortgage broker ensuring that all deadlines were met and that no stone was left unturned. Dante didn't seem like he took an hour off, with quick response times and he kept an open line of communication when we had questions or concerns. I would certainly use Dante again and refer him to my family and friends because he made the home buying experience enjoyable and way less stressful than I imagined.

She had been referred to me by one of my best friends, and she was wonderful from the very first phone call. I had been looking at homes on the South Shore and found one I wanted to see. I called her on a Saturday, and by Monday, we were viewing that home. I looked at a few homes with her until I found the one I decided to purchase. My home-buying process with Rose was flawless. She had a ton of resources (attorneys, home inspectors, insurance agents) at the ready, so my process was easy and quick. I felt she gave me good advice on what to offer, and the offer was accepted. Selling my Arlington home in the middle of a snowy winter was a concern for me, but Rose made it painless. We had 64 parties come through during the open house weekend and multiple offers right afterwards. Again, she had several resources available to assist me, from a fire alarm company to packers and movers. I should also note that she has excellent relationships with other brokers and conducts herself in a professional, calm, and friendly manner. She has a lot of experience and has a great sense for how the home-selling/purchasing experience should be managed. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great agent on the South Shore or in Middlesex County.
