Bruce and Tim made us feel comfortable from the get-go, made the entire process as clear as possible for us, and guided us every step of the way. They made us feel right at home, understood our housing wishes, and actively helped search for the right fit. When we finally found our house in this crazy market, some very unforseen and unique challenges threw more problems our way. We would not know what to do without Bruce and Tim. They kept at it, supported us through the lows, held our best interests at heart, never losing faith, and eventually helped secure our dream home. Bruce and Tim really went above and beyond, and it is beacuse of them we are now home. Working with Bruce, Tim, and their team means peace of mind, no matter what the real estate market throws at you. The Needle Group are the best around!

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!

If superheroes wore capes, Id have one commissioned for Mikel…read more This was not a typical property and it was not going well. It was a distressed rental property that my elderly father was undermanaging in his older years that I needed to sell to help my mother with her retirement planning. Unfortunately when the tenant says 'everything is fine' or 'you don't need to visit', those are not necessarily things that you should take them at their word for. I interviewed several real estate agents to help me manage the sale. None of what they said seemed quite right. Some of them said the property needed no work and others tried to get me to sell for almost 200k under for what it ended up selling for. Then I hired Mikel and everything changed. He told me what was worth fixing and what wasn't. He helped me navigate an insurance nightmare and a title 5 failure. He helped me list for 50-100k more than what I was expecting and helped me close on a sale that was 25k over that asking price with zero conditions after what I am sure was a very lengthy inspection report. When I met Mikel, I was anxious and lost about what to do with this property. Mikel's construction background made the list he gave me of what I should have fixed and what I shouldn't was based in real numbers and real experience, rather than guesses. When someone has an actual plan for every scenario that comes up, all you have to do is relax and get to work. Now I know my mom will have the money that she needs to enjoy her golden years because of Mikel's plan and my hard work.

Mike was awesome to work with! I interviewed several agents to sell my grandparents property and…read morehe stood out from the beginning. High energy, good listener, great knowledge and outstanding problem solver. Based on his analysis and expertise, we priced our property exactly where it should have been, and ultimately received 3 bids over asking price. Other realtors pricing strategy would not have yielded the same results. Like all sales, open houses, inspections, and closings, there were a few hiccups. Mike presented options for solutions rapidly, to achieve the goals we were going after. Beyond all of that, his honesty and accessibility was second to none. He answered every call/text within minutes. My family and I always had confidence that he had our best interest in mind. He was not afraid to put in the work at anytime during the process. Between hanging fire alarms, calling the water department and driving 45 minutes away to save me time, he was always willing to go beyond the extra mile. Mike also had recommendations for numerous vendors, that all worked out very well. I honestly could not recommend Mike enough. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Review #1134 This…read moreis a review for the real estate agent Karen Tanzer. Karen helped us with the search, and we absolutely loved her! From our initial phone call, I could tell that she is a very good agent. She listens attentively and you can tell your preferences are heard. During showings, Karen is punctual and communicative with her whereabouts. That exactly matches my style! Frankly, Karen is one of the few professionals who I have dealt with who is so similar to myself. I really couldn't have found a better match! You can tell she knows how to plan and plans showings very well. (I personally love to plan things, so I can easily tell someone who actually knows how to plan for things.) What I like Karen the most is how serious she is about covid precautions. I am someone who takes covid very seriously, and Karen is probably the only person I have met outside of my own family members who take just as seriously as I am. I am talking about wearing a quality mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc. There was one house we saw that asked for shoe covers, Karen just opened up her trunk and had spare shoe covers for us. At another house, someone didn't have the mask properly covered the nose and Karen wasted no time telling the person to mask up. I am really impressed with that! You can tell Karen is very knowledgeable about the local housing market and someone who specializes in new construction. She seems to know many other agents in the area. She also had personal recommendations for buyer attorney, inspection, plumbers, etc! Even during the closing process, she would send us updates and check-ins. She was clearly on top of everything. While I was assigned to Karen through an official university referral program, I couldn't be happier with this match. The university assigned me another agent as well, but Karen was simply better. I've talked to other real estate agents through friends and family here and there before, but immediately could tell Karen would be different. I can confidently say that Karen is the best real estate agent I have worked with.
