Elizabeth helped me find a new home in Boston under SUPER stressful conditions (i.e. moving across…read morethe country during a pandemic). She was responsive and followed my lead with communication preferences (text, calls and emails). She did not flood me with communications but responded to my inquiries quickly. My favorite aspect of working with Elizabeth was that she was direct and precise in her communications. She provided requested information in a friendly, professional and clear manner. I have worked with several other Realtors and their cloudy, rambling communications made transactions REALLY difficult. Elizabeth wasn't like that at all. I trusted the information she provided and any inconsistencies were due to other Realtors and not her. I told Elizabeth my home and neighborhood preferences and she stuck to my guidelines. I loved that she knew about the area and could advise me on what was a good deal or not. I also appreciated that she communicated with seller realtors and got an idea about offers and negotiable items. I also value that Elizabeth drove around and did video call showings with me around my schedule. She had excellent knowledge of structural components and told me why certain things were significant. She was candid when places looked better in listing pictures than in person. As a bonus, Elizabeth was also super helpful when I was having problems with my short-term rental. She let me know about reasonable expectations with my landlord and my responsibilities as a tenant.

Before working with Elizabeth, we had been trying to buy a house for over 2 years with no success…read more We now own our first house after working with Elizabeth for just 3 months. She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

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!

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.

I contacted Shawn 3 years ago because he sold a condo in my building and I was hoping to get advice…read moreon selling mine. He was honest and let me know that the timing wasn't right since I wouldn't make any profit in the market at the time. We kept in touch over the years and he let me know that this year was the year to sell and boy was he right!! He advised me from beginning to end. My condo was sold with a cash offer in 6 weeks without needing to do any updates! His expertise about the market was invaluable from how to set up the condo, to having his photographer come in, to having an open house which drew in ~100 people that led to 3 solid offers. All of this was done by the way while I was out of state and I could only come to town once since I have a 7mth and 3yr old. Overall he's an awesome real estate agent and I would recommend him to others in a second! - Latoya Davis

Selling one's house can be of the most stressful things in life alongside to getting married or…read morehaving children. Fortunately for me, I had Shawn and his team to help me with this. When I met with Shawn, he laid out and presented his plan on how to properly put our home on the market. He detailed his strategy for getting the property ready, generating buzz for the property, bringing in serious buyers, and running a successful open house. Within days of the open house, thanks to his advice, we received multiple offers well above our list price! Throughout the whole process, Shawn guided us every step of the way to get our home sold. There was not one time I felt uneasy - Shawn was very proactive and was always there to answer any question I had. Words cannot describe the level of professionalism of Shawn and his team. One regret I do have is that we didn't find Shawn earlier to aid us in buying our previous home - there is no doubt that he would have been able to provide us with just as great of service! So do not let my regret be yours and DO consider Shawn and his team if you're looking to buy or sell your home. Thanks Shawn, it was great working with you.

I was introduced to Jill McTague by my home's former buyer's (only) agent, a friend of Jill's and…read moresomeone I trust completely. A sudden divorce in my senior years had made living alone in a house with property in a semi-rural location too difficult for me to manage, so I made the decision to sell. Although 3rd on the 5 agent to vet list I was sent, I decided to interview Jill first based on my referrer's comment that I would like her. Wow, what an understatement! During my talk with Jill, it became quickly clear to me that here was a calm, straightforward, down-to-earth (my best compliment) , intelligent, thoughtful and very empathetic person, professional without attitude, knowledgeable and obviously very experienced yet with a fully hand-in-hand cooperative idea of the seller/seller's agent relationship. I hired her on the spot. Although I had had experience selling a relative's house prior, Jill walked me thru a much more involved and emotionally wrought several months with patience at my many texts, questions, and calls and with unsurpassed availability. She maintained a positive attitude throughout (this is simply who she is) and an exact knowledge of what I needed to do and, maybe more important, what I didn't need to do to get the house best fit for the sale I wanted. While she lived some distance from my home, she did the research necessary for my area, was accurate in her pricing while tolerating and respecting certain conditions I had set price-wise in order to be willing to sell this season, and she worked very hard and achieved my goals in the sales negotiations. Jill had waited for the ideal time to list and the house sold in 5 days. Jill is just a terrific agent, and a genuinely honest and kind person. I can't compliment her work on my sale enough, and her husband/agent Peter's assistance and support in my house prep was icing on the cake! Best possible experience and outcome during a difficult time in my life. Very grateful. Best, most professional realty service. Highest recommendation.

Impossible you say?! Well to that, I assure you that you have not yet met Chrissy. For if you have, you have likely already experienced perhaps the most seamless and personable rental process in history. Not only was she very easy to speak to over the phone, but she was empathetic and accommodating with regards my constraints (I emphasize this as it was a holiday). I have a habit of moving at a fast pace, which was pushed into overdrive considering flight-determined deadline. While this can, from time to time, throw most people off or be a little overwhelming, she managed to get everything done with the highest level of professionalism and in record time. As for my new home, it is day 9 of my occupancy and I couldn't be happier. Really, I couldn't have found a better place to live. Thanks Chrissy!

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.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

In October 2023, I engaged Skyline to manage a large apartment I own 7 blocks from Harvard Square…read more I also hired them to general contact the apartment's renovation. They were well paid for this service, and well aware of the difficulties of this particular project when they took it on. In the contract I agreed to every suggestion they'd made that would make the apartment desirable and easy to rent. It was a disaster. They failed to manage their contractor and it took them a year, with some work still undone now, in March 2025. They missed the September 1st rental target (when the propoderance of Cambridge leases renew). As a result, I had to reduce the rent they inititally proposed by 23%, and it did not rent until March 2025. This was especially painful since I had based the financing of the large project on their written estimate of rental income, which I then provided to the bank (with Skylines knowledge). Their response to missing this important leasing deadline was "You'll make it up later" But they offered no consideration for the damage during construction, including lost items and damaged art and antiques. It's "pay me" not matter what. A one way street. Alex, the owner, is a strict constructionist if the contract favors him. If not, he'll just make things up, and get nasty. Issam, Exec VP, is wont to say "as we discussed" when I have no memory of any such. Alex and Issam have a "good cop - bad cop" routine going, and I deeply regret having hired them. I advise being very cautious if you decide to engage.
