He was very attentive, personable, and took the time to carefully listen to what I needed, and then suggested a few units - he was right on. It was everything I wanted. I really felt like he took the time to really listen and shared his knowledge of the different available options. I had reached out a bit early and as soon as units became available, he took the initiative to follow up with me to schedule a time. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend him if you're looking for your next home! You want someone who cares, is knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind.

After three weeks, I called to ask about the status of the work. Unfortunately, rather than receiving an update or explanation, I was yelled at over the phone By Ardi, I was told that there were "people lined up waiting in his office," and then the call was abruptly ended. I chose this business in part because they are also from Needham, and I wanted to support a local business. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend them to others.

Her pricing and overall sale strategy was perfect as we ended up with multiple offers over asking! In addition she helped us find exactly what we were looking for in our next home. She expertly negotiated the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. She was responsive to all of our questions and concerns from the beginning of the process to the end!. I absolutely recommend Beth Regan as a realtor you can rely on and trust to work hard for you and get the job done whether you are buying or selling real estate.

We met Beth Regan more than a year ago looking for the house in Boston vicinity. Beth was highly…read morerecomended to us by one of our coworkers, who had a relationship with her over a few real estate transactions. We have never met any real estate agent like Beth. Beth is very professional, exceptionally knowledgable, very well connected, courteous, and will always stand on your side. We felt that it was not just a job for her, it was much more. Beth was determined to find a perfect house for us even if it meant foregoing the projects she invested a lot of time in and when we were ready to give up she was very supportive and helpful. Beth is very knowledgable of the area and local builders, which we got connected to. We finally built our dream house out of state and Beth was always there to watch over the process while we were not there, which was a very tedious and time consuming work. Beth is one of few people I would recommend without a hesitation and with great respect. We have never met any real estate agent like Beth.

Working with Eleanor Reilly was the best decision I made during my divorce process...which lasted…read moreover 4 years. Eleanor did a written assessment of our marital home TWICE, possibly as early as 2019 and again in 2020 or 2021, since the market had changed so much between assessments in the years between. She was great to work with, so I also worked with her to find my new home. We spent a LOT of quality time on weekend morning at open houses together over the years and Eleanor was always professional, warm, friendly, and witty. She's the kind of person you wish was family. I always appreciated her honesty--she was not trying to push sales as some realtors do...she pointed out concerns with homes we toured so I would be aware of the liability involved...this was SO appreciated as a single mother with two kids. When I had to bring my son with me at one point to look at some homes, she actually brought snacks for him and was so lovely in engaging him. He had a great time...and what 11 year old boy loves touring homes on a Saturday morning? ;-) It was really touching--Eleanor is such a "people person"...she could connect with ANYONE! The market was wild when I was looking for houses--and Eleanor put in 3 offers for me that weren't accepted, and then a 4th that *was* accepted but the deal fell through after the home inspection, when I had a change of heart based on the report and rapport with the seller. If I put myself in her shoes, I would have been seriously frustrated with me at that point and wondered if my client was serious about making a home purchase after all. Thankfully, I bought the next place I made an offer on...ironically, the least expensive of the houses I put offers in on. When you work with Eleanor, you get platinum service and care, whether you're buying an inexpensive condo (as I ultimately did) or a bigger house that will yield a much larger commission. With the change in the market, I ultimately bought a condo worth $250K less than some of the other properties (including single family homes) I had previously looked at, and there was zero change in Eleanor's investment at any point in the process. Eleanor's dedication stood out all the more in contrast to the seller's agent during my purchase process. Quite often, I felt like Eleanor was doing *her* job too. When the seller's agent failed to get the radon canisters for so long that it almost compromised our closing date, Eleanor was lamenting that she would have taken care of them for the seller's agent, if only she'd let her know it would be an issue...and I'm sure Eleanor would have! That's Eleanor! Eleanor goes the extra mile (and then some) for her client. When I'm ready to sell, I know who I'm going to call!

I cannot speak about the office as a whole, so this is a review specifically for their agent, Jan…read moreDolan. We bought a house that was listed by Jan several years ago. After dealing with a series of incompetent and sleazy real estate agents (one of whom outright lied to us about where a house's property line ran), I cannot state how much of a joy it was to finally be dealing with Jan without it sounding like hyperbole. Through every step of the process, every detail was properly communicated, every appointment was kept on time, and she was pleasant to deal with throughout the whole process. After we purchased the house she even gave us a watercolor painting of the house which she painted herself. And this was in a situation where Jan was working for the seller, not us, the buyer. More recently, I sought out some advice as much I should spend on a kitchen remodel. She gave her advice freely, and it was comprehensive and useful as well. If you are looking for a real estate agent in Needham I would highly, highly recommend that you go with Jan.

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. We have an infant, and her level of attention to finding us a suitable home for our family was clear. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, expertise, and dedication. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, and truly committed real estate agent!

Elizabeth helped us buy a home from across the country under often difficult circumstances…read more What really stood out was how she approached neighborhoods/towns. Instead of just lining up a few properties in our price range, Elizabeth showed us a wide range of options across different areas. She explained what each neighborhood felt like. She pointed out where things were, how traffic moved, what the vibe was, etc. She talked about schools, commute times, which neighborhoods were quieter. She answered every question and concern patiently and thoroughly. She got what we cared about. She listened early on when we talked about what we needed, and then she remembered it. That meant the homes she showed us weren't random. They fit what we were actually looking for. And when things got messy during closing (they always do), Elizabeth sorted it out. She kept us in the loop even when we were across the country and couldn't do anything ourselves. You can tell she wants her clients to have good outcomes and be happy, not just close deals. Buying from out of state is hard. Elizabeth made it manageable and we really appreciate it.

But each individual's life and experiences are their own, and my experience has been very different. Management is incredibly responsive and attentive to tenant needs.

Finally, Heath introduced an online rental platform that creates flexible payment options for apartment units and, where applicable, paid parking spots. As with anything - results may vary. But the results as I have observed are excellent.
