Rima was always, and I mean always there to help us, she was super quick to respond and was able to find us options and solutions.

We will probably never book any flight or trip without her!! Thanks you Rima!!

I found Bler Travel on a Google search, after trying AAA and not getting my emails returned. I…read moreemailed Bler out of the blue asking for flights to Italy. I knew exactly what I wanted for flights, times, airports, airplanes, etc. I'm only giving them 2 stars because they responded to me immediately. They just returned my email with flights, no introduction, no "hi, my name is", nothing. They just kept emailing one flight after another with zero attempt at any pleasantries or interaction. Each flight was crazy expensive or not what I asked for. I asked twice that they call me and provided my number, yet they continued to just email flights. Then, they just stopped all together. Lazy, cold, unprofessional, and ignorant. I found them on Google, that's how businesses are found by new potential customers. Let them cater to their regulars, obviously they don't care to earn new customers.

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

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.

He also demanded payment in full, prior to ordering. His wife called me two days prior to what he claimed was a factory price increase and instructed me to ZELLE funds to his account. I did so, but ZELLE would not do an immediate transfer (two days). The bank provided him with legitimate confirmation of payment codes for proof of payment. He refused to accept them. At the end of our telephone conversation, he began to swear at me profusely and wanted a 100% money wire to cover payment. In the end, his poor behavior showed his true colors as a shady business man.

II had a health scare which briefly delayed our ability to go to market and the market changed just enough in that time that we missed a bigger sale price, but she rode it out with us She didn't let us accept a lowball offer yet she kept our expectations grounded and realistic. We got a good deal on a reasonable amount of time on the market. Last year we had a condo we wanted to sell. She expertly handled that and the impossible HOA/Management company in addition to finding us a reasonably priced rental in an owner occupied house. I can't say enough good things about Danielle and Parkway Real Estate!

His knowledge and expertise of the market helped to properly price the house over other suggestions that I had received. When we talked strategy, he suggested things I could do to prepare the house. Mike recommended quality help when necessary. Each of his team was a pleasure to deal with. Each professional (photographer, lawyer, inspector etc.) performed their function(s) timely and with minimal disruption. It was a seller's market and my property received multiple offers. He excelled in vetting potentials, presentation and review. He does not "over talk." With much appreciation to Mike Panza, I am moving on into the next chapter of my life.

We hired Coastal for our home inspection, as they were suggested to us (along with a few other…read moreoptions) by our realtor. We went with them because they were highly rated and you could schedule your inspection conveniently online. John was our home inspector and he was incredibly thorough. The home we are purchasing isn't old (built in 2001), but I wish we had known about Coastal and used them for our current home, which was built considerably earlier. John was so detailed in his report, I'd recommend him for any home inspection, but especially ones that are for older homes needing a keen eye and a fine-toothed comb. He called out everything and his report came color-coded with photos for references. He struck a good balance between being efficient (the whole inspection for a 3500 sq ft home took just about 3 hours) and being communicative with me. He showed me everything he felt was noteworthy. We're hoping that this is our forever home, but if we ever do move or buy a vacation property, I'll definitely work with Coastal again. Thanks John!

Janis and Ellen are very nice people. You will want to work with them as soon as you meet them. The…read morefirst meeting was great and they gave us a nice checklist of things to do. But after that first meeting, they just disappear and move onto closing the next deal. After our open houses, they didn't call or text to tell us how it went (they did eventually after pulling teeth). They were slow in answering questions (we didn't have many). And they were not careful. For example, we failed an inspection which pushed our closing date out (we incurred ~1k extra cost) because they didn't schedule it early enough or tell us what we needed to do to pass. And a month after closing, they emailed us to tell us that they forgot to bill us for a closing expense. Moral of the story - don't be fooled. They are very nice people but I definitely do not recommend working with them.

We were so impressed with him and his positive and personal approach, we contacted him again to help us sell our first home and find our 2nd home, and within a year, he helped purchase our vacation home as well. We also very much appreciated his great referrals for a mortgage broker and real estate attorney who were both exceptional and would have been hard to find on our own. When we decided to sell our beach home, we contacted Stephen. As usual, he took diligent notes of our specific needs and wants and fulfilled every request with ease. Stephen not only arranged excellent photography, but he also helped professionally stage our home - we know that was essential in the quick sale of our beach home! Stephen definitely has a way to make you feel as if you are his ONLY client - highly attentive, returning phone calls, emails immediately. He's confident, sweet, honest, and very caring. You immediately know that he'll do whatever it takes - when trust, experience, and knowledge work together you get AMAZING results! His exceptional negotiation skills helped us sell our home and get a great deal while also making the buyers happy as well - NOT easy to do! We very much appreciated the fact that we also had the Ellen and Janis team, who have many years of experience and outstanding service in the real estate industry, available to assist us as well - what an incredible group of people! We are happy to highly recommend them to any prospective sellers or buyers. Thank you, Stephen and Ellen & Janis team, for another WONDERFUL experience! You've exceeded our expectations and can count on us contacting you going forward for any real estate needs! Victoria & Jay Cappadoro

Anita at 800-222-8252 didn't know how answer my questions, put me on hold while she went looking for someone to help, came back and thought I was that someone, and when I said that I was the caller she'd put on hold, she put me back on hold, and then the call was disconnected. Beth at 866-423-5585 could provide neither expert guidance or any guidance at all. When I asked for information on international driver's licenses (when and where they are required, how to get one, how long they are valid), Beth assured me that she does not issue them, and had refused to answer my other questions. Liz at 617-332-9900 (the branch with the travel agent that did not call when scheduled) said that she had "no way of answering" my questions. Chuck Nardozza at 401-868-6248 said AAA is NOT a travel agent, it just "helps booking flights", and it matters whether I am ready to book now. Sure I am if it will move the ball along, but no, AAA will not call as scheduled because there are other callers who are people who need help. And I am not a caller? Or I am not a person? Or I do not need help? Several emails, one letter and half a dozen calls later, I give up. It is not worth either the annual fee or anyone's time trying to pry services out of AAA.
