Can I give her 6 stars?…read more We had an exceptional experience working with our real estate agent. 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.

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.

Very very pushy habits, I experienced such a Hostile experience with this agency- very shady very sketchy, as I'm prepared to launch an ethics code with board of realtors against these dishonorable company! From day one, they pushed and pressured my Agent to obtain keys *****earlier to avoid obtaining prior****** to the Long holiday weekend The priority shifted to convenience on behalf of the NEW prospective tenants, vs the existent occupants- and the landlord needs The focus was to Get Keys as Promptly as possible, BY pass any essential details in between in a very highly dysfunctional approach Laurent Had a Nerve to ASK for the *****Commission check PRIOR to even having his clients move in***** He figured to obtain keys fast, and get Paid RAPIDLY prior to the 1st of September which he knows is (((((Prohibitive and also UN lawful)))) Above all, he was aggressive on the phone when I informed him, his boss would be briefed on the subject matter and valid warranted feedback would be posted on Google, Yelp and Zillow Laurent created a NIGHTMARE experience to the old occupants, and to my broker who had an awful experience with Laurent as well

She kept giving me attitude about being at the wrong place, but she was the one who screwed up. I went to the address in the listing. How am I in the wrong? Being a realtor is not hard.

Impossible you say?! Well to that, I assure you that you have not yet met Chrissy. For if you have, you have likely already experienced perhaps the most seamless and personable rental process in history. Not only was she very easy to speak to over the phone, but she was empathetic and accommodating with regards my constraints (I emphasize this as it was a holiday). I have a habit of moving at a fast pace, which was pushed into overdrive considering flight-determined deadline. While this can, from time to time, throw most people off or be a little overwhelming, she managed to get everything done with the highest level of professionalism and in record time. As for my new home, it is day 9 of my occupancy and I couldn't be happier. Really, I couldn't have found a better place to live. Thanks Chrissy!

We saw a beautiful apartment with Kody and were excited to move forward. Unfortunately their…read moreprocess was extremely sketchy. They wanted us to pay the deposit and sign the lease before being approved as tenants by the owner of the property. They claimed if we were not approved, they would refund the deposit, but that was not outlined in the lease terms so there was no guarantee the funds would be returned. I am not going to risk $8,000 for the chance to be considered and nobody else should either. This entire process felt very strange and we ended up walking away and finding something better with a different company.

An example of one passive-aggressive thing he said was "Why do I care more about finding this place than you do?"

Highly recommend you do not work with him if given the chance.

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.

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!

So a friend of mine once asked 'Why the heck would you spend money on a realtor - they don't do…read moreanything for that 5%' That friend never met Charles. Here's the deal. Charles is in it for the realty experience, not in it for the sale. Sure, he wants to get your place sold, or get you into your new home - but he wont do it just to get another transaction. As a buyer, when I suggested I might want to consider areas outside of Cambridge/Somerville (i.e. maybe Boston or Brookline), he respectfully told me that he would be happy to refer us to someone who knew those neighborhoods. He knows his area so well, and wanted us to have someone who knew other areas just as well as he did. That focus on Cambridge/Somerville showed even stronger as a seller's agent, where he was able give us all the necessary guidance to prepare, show, and sell our condo for a price we were very happy with - and in around 40 days. take in that last statement. Yes, we got a price we were happy with and a list-to-offer of 40 DAYS.... this year..... And while some of that has to do with the property, a lot of it was helped by Charles' input, suggestions, and diligence in getting the property staged, marketed, and represented - allowing me to actually experience a minimal impact of the whole process. this - plus everything that happened during negotiation, paperwork, and closing - is the reason that a realtor is essential. Scratch that - it's the reason that an awesome realtor is essential. Trust me, when you end up with someone subpar (and sadly I have several times), it is a whole different deal. Charles is that awesome realtor. If I were ever to buy or sell in his area again, there's no one else I would trust

However, our tenants had to break their lease, and I was left with an empty condo during the holiday season. To sell or not to sell, that was the question. I had talked to other agents and was feeling pressured and lost. Then, I saw a review for Charles Cherney online. What a happy, happy find! Charles was very professional, reassuring and knowledgeable from day one. He took what seemed an overwhelming circumstance and made it into a very doable project. Each and every step along the way (and there were many) was anticipated, dealt with, taken care - and we were on to the next one. Charles' expertise and experience proved to be spot on. We had over two hundred people at the first open house! The condo was put on the market on a Thursday and by the following Wednesday (after three days of private showings and three public open houses), we had over a dozen bids, with most of them well over the listing price. I recommend Charles Cherney to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in Cambridge or Somerville. He listens, advises, and takes care of both you and the process. He is more than an expert in his field - he is a kind, considerate, compassionate person, with a wonderful sense of humor.
