We had been in contact Lynn before about moving and decided to give her a call. Once Lynn and Glenn got on board, we knew we were in the right hands. Lynn came in like a house on fire! She came in with a plan to maximize the potential of our house. At first, I balked at the suggestions. As I came around, every suggestion she made, I said to myself," I should have done this years ago!" The entire process was so professional. From the still photos, to the virtual tour, the whole team was very invested in making our house as inviting and salable as possible. The teamwork between Lynn and Glenn is just about as perfect as you can ask for. Lynn was a dynamo and Glenn was the calming influence when things got stressful. In conclusion, we received several offers over ask in the first weekend. We finally received an offer 15% over ask! This could not have happened without the hard work of this exceptional team. We couldn't be happier with our choice of agents!

Thank you so much Lara!

As a real estate attorney, I have worked closely with Lara on countless transactions and can say…read morewith confidence that she is one of the best out there.

From start to finish, Alyssa was the best real estate agent we could have ever imagined. We used…read moreher services on both the buying and selling sides. We first spoke over the phone in February 2018 and she just seemed to get it - what we were looking for, how we wanted to go about our search, and how we wanted to go about selling our home. She was just as warm, personable, and professional when we met her in person. She is a mom too so completely understood our limitations in regards to time and childcare. Alyssa told us she started in real estate after she had a bad experience herself. We also had had a bad experience when we bought our first home. This experience was nothing like that! Alyssa was never pushy or overbearing. She was virtually always available by phone, text, or email. She was present at both of our closings (buying and selling), during our home inspection, and during our walk through on the buying side. She did several open houses when we were selling, as well as numerous showings. She is completely trustworthy and went above and beyond (she noticed we had an ant problem after we had been away on vacation and was doing an open house, so took it upon herself to place traps and fix the problem). Alyssa even gave us lovely cards and generous and thoughtful gifts when we closed on each house. And even afterwards, when we had moved in and our old house was sold, she still offered to help us by picking up mail that was accidentally delivered to our old house and delivered it to our new house! Alyssa is a top notch realtor. She is simply a lovely person who is incredibly hard working. We found our dream home thanks to her. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Alyssa is an AWESOME realtor. She has such a passion for helping her clients and she always puts…read morethem first. We started working with Alyssa in mid 2017 and as first time home buyers, we did not know anything about buying a house, where to start, what to do or what it truly entailed. Alyssa made that process so smooth and easy for us. She really zoned in on what our wants, needs, musts and desires were and sent us homes that fit that criteria. From mid 2017 - Present, we saw countless homes together. I could find a home we wanted to see and whether it was one home or 6, literally, she made arrangements for us to see based on our schedules. I cannot stress enough that she is a realtor that is on YOUR side, she is looking through the houses with you and telling you honest feedback, whether it be the condition of a hot water heater or if a home is priced more than the comparable homes in the area. She truly gets to know her clients so she can really pinpoint what is going to be a priority for them, which is truly what makes her successful. After we found the home for us, more than a year later Alyssa made the buying process so easy for us, through the offer, acceptance, inspections, attorney review, right through closing. She was there with us and available every step of the way. She helped us find a reliable and reputable attorney who advocated alongside of her for our best interests, she provided resources for companies for inspections and furthermore coordinated inspections, obtained certificates, spoke with some vendors on our behalf, basically did anything she could to help us as the buyers and make this process that is overwhelming to first time home buyers much easier. Alyssa went to the house to facilitate appointments without disrupting my time at work. She was present all all inspections, she insisted on a final walk through the day of closing to make sure all was in order for us and attended the closing with us. She was so sweet, she even showed up to closing with a card and incredibly thoughtful gift. Alyssa really goes above and beyond for her client. I would recommend you work with her if you want to receive the highest quality of service. She is not pushy, she is not calling you every day or pushing you to purchase a house you're not interested in, she wants whatever you want and wants to make sure in that you get what you deserve and do not get taken advantage of. Providing her clients honest information and feedback and ensuring they aren't getting taken advantage of is something Alyssa feels very strongly about, being that when she was house hunting personally, her real estate agent didn't provide that service to her. After encountering a number of issues, she wanted to make sure what happened to her didn't happened to anyone else. Anyone with that much passion and dedication to make a difference in others lives says a lot about the kind of person she is. Alyssa has a positive energy about her and again, has that passion. Do yourself a favor, work with someone who is working for you and you will not be disappointed she is truly great!! I loved working with her.

If you're looking for a a great realtor, look no further... Not only does Karen know her trade…read moreinside and out, but as a person, you will not find a more detailed, caring, dedicated realtor who works hard to make sure that ALL your needs are met. When my family decided to take a job opportunity on the West Coast, Karen worked very hard to find a tenant to rent our home, which only took 2 weeks. After 2 years of rental, we decided to sell our home, and we of course decided to use Karen as our listing agent. During this time, unfortunately we had to make some major repairs to the home, which she offered to manage since we live on the West Coast. She helped find reliable workers, who stayed in our budget, she consistently communicated with progress reports and although winter is not the greatest time to sell a home, she stayed 100% committed to the cause, and recently sold our home for a great price that we were very happy with. With zero hesitation, I recommenced Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!
