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.

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. 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!

We recently sold our family home in Dorchester and had an amazing experience with the Galvin Group…read more From the first phone call to the closing day Eamon Galvin and the team at the Galvin Group made sure we had a stellar experience. While initially deciding on a realtor we interviewed several, we never felt pressured at the Galvin Group. They were happy to answer our questions about the market and we were able to get to know how they did business before ultimately signing on with them, quickly realizing they were the best realtor group servicing Dorchester. Our realtor Eamon Galvin took care of every detail of the sale, keeping us updated to ensure things were proceeding to our satisfaction. Eamon went above and beyond for us, I can't recommend him enough. Call Eamon at the Galvin Group, you will be happy you did!

I was the tenant currently residing in a one bedroom in Dorchester that the Galvin Group was…read moreselling. The whole process started off very dicey, as my landlord never confirmed with me that he was working with the Galvin Group. I just started getting random texts from them about showing my apartment. It was around Christmas time when they started to ramp up their showings. For the week of Christmas and the weekend of New Years, they were relentless about showing my place. I understand business is business, but you'd think they might lay off during the week of Christmas, especially since I was living there. But what I am truly upset about is when my identity got stolen. My place was shown on February 19th - 4 days later a fraudulent credit card account was opened in my name. I didn't find out until about a month later when I received the bill. After filing a police report, I called Craig to express my concerns. He made it into a joke asking "did they buy anything good at least?" My identity just got stolen (possibly from a stranger that came into my apartment) and this is a joke to you? He then proceeded to let me know he was always available in case I needed a realtor in the future. I was not calling him to joke around, nor was I calling to do business. I am truly disappointed in their level of professionalism and their lack of regard for tenants. To be honest, I am not too surprised in how this all went down considering my former landlord, Mike had absolutely no respect for his tenants nor his fellow condo-owners - and like attracts like....

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.

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.

She went above and beyond for us and since we first time home buyers with a LOT of conditionals, so we put her to work. Every house she showed us was considerate of our checklist, but she also helped us get out of our comfort zone on expanding our preferences. I pretty much considered her a friend at the end of this, but with obvious boundaries. Realtors end up knowing a lot about you in the end and it was really reassuing that I felt comfortable with her! Besides just Jamie, the firm itself has great third party recommendations for every step of the way. We used everyone that they recommended and we had a really smooth process. Highly recommend! We also had friends who used her as well, at least 2, and they were beyond happy.

Your knowledge of this area and all of the different aspects of buying a home made me feel very comfortable in buying this house. I also admired your integrity during this deal by really looking out for my best interests and what I could afford. I felt confident that you would not let me make a mistake in this purchase. Also, I appreciate all your effort to help me get the best financing for this deal. I can't even believe what a good program you helped me get into. It made buying a home a reality for me.

James refuses to do anything about the poor parking situation at the building causing my car to be damaged by other tenants and even less about the tenant that continues to allow her dog to use the back yard as its personal bathroom. My back porch is unsafe and unstable and this has been brought to James' attention on a number of occasions with zero action taken.

We were extremely picky from the start and this didn't bother Shannon at all. She asked the right questions to help find the best home that suit our needs. She also didn't push us into something we didn't like and she was extremely patient when we would walk in the front door of a home and immediately walk out. After a full day of visiting homes in Methuen the last one we looked at was the perfect one and we all knew it. After putting our offer in, the real fun began, well not fun but the back and forth of the paper work etc. Honestly we probably wouldn't survived this process without Shannon, she patiently walked us through each step. Explained what we had to do when. And she was always available via text message. I found her to be a good friend throughout this process and I honestly don't understand how she does it all. So if you are worried, scared, and not at all excited about buying your next home, call Shannon. She is the best person for this job and the best person to help you find your dream home. We wouldn't / couldn't have done it without her. Ps... typing this from the table in our new kitchen, so happy!

I'll be honest. I have a less-than-stellar opinion of folks in the real estate industry. A couple…read morebad experiences here and there, so when I contacted Ryan and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy, I was still skeptical. He came and picked us up to show us a few houses over the course of an afternoon. By the end of the afternoon, I told my fiance this was the guy I wanted to use. He's an honest dealer, the type of guy with a firm handshake who looks you in the eyes when he meets you. I'm sure he had other clients, but I wouldn't have known. We would call with questions (sometimes very stupid ones), probably more often than the norm, and he'd always politely answer our questions. My fiance and I also have weird schedules so showings were often all over the place, but he worked with us and was very accommodating. One thing to note, too, I have a pet peeve when people refuse to say "I don't know" and instead BS an answer rather than admit not knowing something. Ryan doesn't do this. If he did not know the answer to a question (rare anyways, this is a smart guy who does his homework), he'd apologize, look up the information, and immediately get back to us. I really liked that. Anyways, highest recommendation for Ryan Conachen. I've recommended him to friends and coworkers who've also praised him. Do yourself a favor and hire an honest, good guy to help you find your house.
