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

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.

This review is for Stephen Johansen (Realtor):…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Stephen as my realtor for the past four years, and I can't say enough positive things about him. As a landlord managing a condo, Stephen has helped me lease my unit to three different tenants over the years, each time flawlessly. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to move quickly ensured that my condo was never vacant for long, which helped me minimize losses. One of the most remarkable situations was when a tenant unexpectedly broke their lease while I was out of town dealing with a stressful life event. Stephen stepped in and handled everything from inspections and project-managing a refurbishment to finding a new tenant--all without me having to lift a finger. His ability to manage this process so smoothly while I was dealing with another stressor was nothing short of a lifesaver. He took all the weight off my shoulders and ensured a seamless transition with the new tenant moving in quickly. Stephen has also been invaluable to my extended family, who are immigrant grass-root landlords and speak very little English. He has been able to communicate and collaborate with them effortlessly, which speaks to his excellent interpersonal skills and adaptability. Stephen has earned my family's full trust over the years, and I am confident he will continue to do so in any future collaborations. His expertise in the Cambridge, Boston, and Greater Boston markets is second to none. Not only has he consistently delivered for me, but he has also supported my family with their rental and buying/selling needs for a handful of properties. He's always proactive, communicative, and has a strong sense of integrity. I truly believe Stephen deserves recognition for his tireless dedication, professionalism, and ability to build trust with his clients. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond, Stephen Johansen is the one you want in your corner. I look forward to working with him again in the future!

This review is specifically for Pete Guiney. We were the buyers for a home that he was the listing…read moreagent for. While Pete did not represent us, he was extremely difficult to work with and made the buying experience stressful for us. We were out of state buyers navigating the logistics and complications of selling and buying a home at the same time. Pete's demeanor was extremely transactional, putting the people element last and was very eager to close the sale by the end of the quarter deadline. He was also challenging for our buying agent to work with and used a lot of passive aggressive tone in his responses. We have used Compass many times in the past for both buying and selling, and this is not the level of care we would have expected to encounter from a Compass agent. To make matters even worse, we felt like Pete was dishonest throughout the process saying whatever needed to be said to close the deal. In the home inspection, there was clear evidence of water staining in the basement with identifiable cracks. Pete kept denying the presence of any water saying that the seller had not observed this at all, yet there was clear photographic evidence of water marks and staining in the inspection report. The seller did agree to repair the cracks using a recommendation and friend of Pete's. Fast forward to the present where we have now closed and moved into the house. To no surprise - we found a leak in the basement and water coming out of one of the cracks (see photo) during a heavy rainfall. We felt completely lied to and the work recommended by Pete was not done adequately (there is no warranty either for the sealing). As of present, Pete has been ignoring our agent's messages. This situation really reflects on Pete's character as an agent having zero regard for the people who buy the homes that he lists. For this reason alone, I do not recommend The Denman Group.

They helped us staging the home and removing items at well below prices we got from other vendors. They put the home on the market, had 3 showings, and we got 4 bids, one of which well exceeded our hopes - all in less than a week. They worked well with our lawyer and took care of the closing.

From day one, they were attentive, kind, and fun as they got to know us and what we were looking for, and they were so helpful in both keeping eagle eyes on the market, advising us on locations and details of listings, and arranging visits and accompanying us on both private showings and open houses. As we know, this was a tough time to be looking for a house, and we of course narrowed our search to one of the most competitive towns in the country right now, but Mike & Shawna were great throughout the process and they made it enjoyable despite the difficulty. When we made offers, they really supported us in making good ones without overpaying, and when we finally got an offer accepted they were pros at the agreement process. Selling our condo was a breeze in comparison, and they did such a great job pricing it right, preparing everything, and doing the showings, resulting in several offers over our expectations. Everything from the first call to the closing went as smoothly as it could in this market, and we landed in a home that surpassed our expectations for under our budget, and we're loving it! Thank you Mike & Shawna! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone from first time home buyers to established homeowners.
