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'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.

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!

We owned a 2 bedroom condo unit in Coolidge Corner in Brookline. The building is in an excellent…read morelocation with good rental prospect. When we decided to sell the property, we discussed the strategy with our agent Tatyana Anokhina and she came up with a timing and pricing strategy. The strategy was to put in on the market for a short time and if the offer didn't meet our expectation, we would take it off the market within a week and list it for rental. For the pricing strategy, Tatyana, recommended to list the unit at a lower price to attract more foot traffic. Her suggested listing price was actually much lower than we would like. At the beginning, we were not too sure if the strategies would work but we agreed that we would defer to Tatyana's knowledge of the area and her expertise and followed Tatyana's recommendations. All through the process, Tatyana provided us with a lot of information of sales and listing of comparable units in the area as well as the rental market to help us to make informed decisions. The unit was listed two days after the tenant moved out and the first open house was on Saturday. Tatyana worked tirelessly to help us get the unit ready for showing by organizing cleaners, recommending handyman etc. all within one day after the tenant moved out. The first offer was lower than our target. The next offer jumped up $60,000 and reached our target. To our surprise, with Tatyana's amazing insight, selling and negotiating skill, she got us an even better offer. This buyer attorney was astute and requesting lots of information but Tatyana has a good knowledge of the building, location characteristics and condo association rules and regulations. She was able to educate the buyer about the advantage of the Coolidge Corner area, the price and the specific of the buildings. It took 2 days of negotiation to convince the buyer to agree to the terms and conditions and waive detailed review and contingency. The whole negotiation was done to everyone's satisfaction in three days. The condo unit was sold at a price significantly higher ($96,000) than the list price. The P&S agreement was signed in a week and the closing was completed two weeks later. It is a fast pace execution and we thank Tatyana's diligence, attention to details, persistence and perseverance to close out this deal.

Brookline continues to be a sellers market where home buying is very competitive. After losing several bids to properties in Brookline, Tatyana found a seller who was selling their own property. She got us in before the property hit the market and the day before the property's first open house. Due to Tatyana's tenaciousness and diligence we were able to secure an acceptance to our offer. If I buy or sell a property, I will use Tatyana again. Tatyana work diligently on helping me find tenants for my investment property.

We toured a few places with a Gateway agent - ultimately there were too many red flags to feel good…read moremoving forward with any Gateway property. 1. They charge an $40 application fee per tenant - this is illegal in MA for landlords, but not for real estate agents, so they get away with it. Our agent admitted it's purely just a revenue generator for them - it also doesn't apply to your broker fee. 2. They ask for most of their fees via Venmo, which has to be the sketchiest way of sending any kind of transaction. 3. If you go in expecting to tour a single place, expect the agent to line up a bunch of other showings and pressure you into them. We ended up in an apartment with a dog, despite telling the broker we were looking for no-pet buildings due to a severe pet allergy.

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.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

Mike was extremely patient and helpful during our search for a new house (covering many different towns), offering great insights and advice throughout. Once it came time to negotiate and prepare for the closings, we completely trusted him to get things done. Mike's professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to our best interests truly stand out. It can be hard to find a real estate agent that you trust.

My wife and I had the good fortune of stumbling upon Collin Bray at an open house for which he was…read morethe listing agent. 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!
