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.

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Elizabeth! She was incredibly kind, patient, and…read moreattentive throughout our entire home search. She really listened to what we were looking for and never once pressured us toward a house that wasn't the right fit. Instead, she gave us thoughtful guidance and the occasional subtle nod when she thought a property might be a great match for us. She was also incredibly responsive and always willing to meet us for showings on short notice, which made such a difference in a competitive market. Elizabeth helped us find our dream home, coached us through every step of putting together an offer, and helped us land on a winning strategy that we still feel really proud of. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and gave us confidence without ever taking the decision-making out of our hands. We are so grateful for her patience, expertise, and genuine care throughout the process and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

From start to finish, Elizabeth went above and beyond the call of duty and consistently demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, warmth and attention to detail. Elizabeth stood out from other real estate agents after our initial meeting. She truly took the time to understand our needs, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made herself available when we needed guidance or had questions. Elizabeth displayed a commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us was evident in everything she did. What impressed us most was how personally invested Elizabeth was in our success as a buyer and seller. She went the extra mile at every step and made a stressful process feel manageable.

I had first called Ed a few years ago when I was thinking about selling me place. He gave me good advice, was always happy to speak with me, always responded in a timely manner, and I decided not to sell my place. So when I did decide to finally sell my place, I called Ed and he still responded in a timely manner and was happy to meet with me. He was one of three realtors I met with and he came in with the best action plan on how to sell my place. The entire process was quick, incredibly efficient and best of all, took very little work on my part. He has very good knowledge of the market, the area, and is a problem solver. On top of it all, he is a darn nice person and very easy to work with! I could not have asked for a less stressful and positive real estate experience and Ed is a very big factor in that.

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!

The questions about private viewings, where to get a mortgage pre-approval, what to do when your lawyer isn't replying are all steps towards finding the best home, and Victoria walks in these moments with you. She continued to give us boost after boost when we came upon each new level of the home buying process. In Victoria, you will have an agent who is: -attuned to your needs and wishes -greatly attuned to and knowledgeable about the market -a lucid communicator and readily available -an adviser amidst many decisions -helpful with numerous action items, leading up to being handed the keys to your home!

It really felt like he bent over backwards to help us find a good one. (It's seriously impossible to find a place that isn't overpriced or just disgusting that allows dogs) Dino was the most helpful realtor I've ever had - he really knows the area. He's professional, yet laid back so all the time we spent together was actually enjoyable and not a gigantic pain in the ass like most apartment searches are. Plus, he's honest. Whenever I'd find a subpar place he would point out the negatives and assure me we could find something even better. (For the record, we did. Our new apartment is the best.) But seriously, don't waste your time anywhere else - I would give this guy 10 stars if I could!!!!!

We were early in our search for a first home and hadn't yet found a real estate agent to work with, but after meeting Collin we knew he was the right match. Straight from the get-go and throughout our entire home-buying adventure, Collin was warm, patient, supportive, informative, responsive, and approachable. He was the best possible guide and advocate we could have hoped for, explaining each step of the process so we'd know what to expect and when, providing well-informed insight when we were preparing to make offers or negotiations, and folding helpful questions into conversations with seller's agents, home inspectors, builders, and HVAC professionals, that we wouldn't have thought to ask. On top of all this, Collin was invaluable when it came to helping us make connections with other professionals we needed. Home insurance agent on short notice? Done. Amazing interior designer? Boom. Sharp-as-a-tack real estate attorney? Wish granted. Collaborating with Collin was such an enjoyable experience; he always had our backs and was ready to skillfully shepherd us through whatever unfolded. I can say with confidence that if Collin had been captain of the Titanic, it would have arrived in New York City ahead of schedule AND unscathed. Luckily for us (unluckily for them), he was born a bit too late for that and chose to navigate real estate deals instead of oceans. We truly cannot say enough positive things about working alongside Collin and are beyond grateful for the big role he played in putting us in our new home!

When it came time to sell the house, Jennifer calculated the best time to put it on the market, and did deep research into what someone would be willing to pay knowing that the house needed to be renovated. She then set the asking price. She marketed the property beautifully with gorgeous photos, marketing documents and set up a website for this particular house. We put the house up for sale on a Tuesday, and we had a very good offer the next morning which we accepted. Jennifer was right on with the asking price and brought us the perfect buyer - cash, no contingencies. I was thrilled with how Jennifer handled everything. Jennifer is very professional, experienced, goes beyond what a realtor is expected to do, and is a lovely person. I would use her again.

As a first time homebuyer, Jennifer went above and beyond to help educate and ensure that I fully understood the process.

Her work ethic is second to none. There were multiple times where I was ready to make a move and Jennifer always insisted that I sleep on it. 5 stars easy!
