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.

Her pricing and overall sale strategy was perfect as we ended up with multiple offers over asking! In addition she helped us find exactly what we were looking for in our next home. She expertly negotiated the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. She was responsive to all of our questions and concerns from the beginning of the process to the end!. I absolutely recommend Beth Regan as a realtor you can rely on and trust to work hard for you and get the job done whether you are buying or selling real estate.

We met Beth Regan more than a year ago looking for the house in Boston vicinity. Beth was highly…read morerecomended to us by one of our coworkers, who had a relationship with her over a few real estate transactions. We have never met any real estate agent like Beth. Beth is very professional, exceptionally knowledgable, very well connected, courteous, and will always stand on your side. We felt that it was not just a job for her, it was much more. Beth was determined to find a perfect house for us even if it meant foregoing the projects she invested a lot of time in and when we were ready to give up she was very supportive and helpful. Beth is very knowledgable of the area and local builders, which we got connected to. We finally built our dream house out of state and Beth was always there to watch over the process while we were not there, which was a very tedious and time consuming work. Beth is one of few people I would recommend without a hesitation and with great respect. We have never met any real estate agent like Beth.

Working with Eleanor Reilly was the best decision I made during my divorce process...which lasted…read moreover 4 years. Eleanor did a written assessment of our marital home TWICE, possibly as early as 2019 and again in 2020 or 2021, since the market had changed so much between assessments in the years between. She was great to work with, so I also worked with her to find my new home. We spent a LOT of quality time on weekend morning at open houses together over the years and Eleanor was always professional, warm, friendly, and witty. She's the kind of person you wish was family. I always appreciated her honesty--she was not trying to push sales as some realtors do...she pointed out concerns with homes we toured so I would be aware of the liability involved...this was SO appreciated as a single mother with two kids. When I had to bring my son with me at one point to look at some homes, she actually brought snacks for him and was so lovely in engaging him. He had a great time...and what 11 year old boy loves touring homes on a Saturday morning? ;-) It was really touching--Eleanor is such a "people person"...she could connect with ANYONE! The market was wild when I was looking for houses--and Eleanor put in 3 offers for me that weren't accepted, and then a 4th that *was* accepted but the deal fell through after the home inspection, when I had a change of heart based on the report and rapport with the seller. If I put myself in her shoes, I would have been seriously frustrated with me at that point and wondered if my client was serious about making a home purchase after all. Thankfully, I bought the next place I made an offer on...ironically, the least expensive of the houses I put offers in on. When you work with Eleanor, you get platinum service and care, whether you're buying an inexpensive condo (as I ultimately did) or a bigger house that will yield a much larger commission. With the change in the market, I ultimately bought a condo worth $250K less than some of the other properties (including single family homes) I had previously looked at, and there was zero change in Eleanor's investment at any point in the process. Eleanor's dedication stood out all the more in contrast to the seller's agent during my purchase process. Quite often, I felt like Eleanor was doing *her* job too. When the seller's agent failed to get the radon canisters for so long that it almost compromised our closing date, Eleanor was lamenting that she would have taken care of them for the seller's agent, if only she'd let her know it would be an issue...and I'm sure Eleanor would have! That's Eleanor! Eleanor goes the extra mile (and then some) for her client. When I'm ready to sell, I know who I'm going to call!

I cannot speak about the office as a whole, so this is a review specifically for their agent, Jan…read moreDolan. We bought a house that was listed by Jan several years ago. After dealing with a series of incompetent and sleazy real estate agents (one of whom outright lied to us about where a house's property line ran), I cannot state how much of a joy it was to finally be dealing with Jan without it sounding like hyperbole. Through every step of the process, every detail was properly communicated, every appointment was kept on time, and she was pleasant to deal with throughout the whole process. After we purchased the house she even gave us a watercolor painting of the house which she painted herself. And this was in a situation where Jan was working for the seller, not us, the buyer. More recently, I sought out some advice as much I should spend on a kitchen remodel. She gave her advice freely, and it was comprehensive and useful as well. If you are looking for a real estate agent in Needham I would highly, highly recommend that you go with Jan.

I've been a tenant with Heath Properties since 2012. Their maintenance crew (via email, phone is…read moreless reliable) is excellent and always respond within 1-2 business days for routine stuff, and same day for urgent items (e.g. water leak around the toilet). Zach should get a special shout-out for his work. I had a loaner from my car dealership after my car broke down over the weekend. I wrote Heath Properties about the situation (of having a temporary loaner car in the apt parking lot, but not my regular Heath pass while my car is in the shop) and he responded immediately, including calling the towing company to make sure that my car would be safe from towing for the rest of the week. For a management company, they also: 1) weekly vacuuming and cleaning of the common areas of my apartment (I've bumped into these cleaners and see vacuuming marks on the carpet), 2) someone magically moves all the recycling containers to the street before pick up and then magically moves them back to the back of the building next day. 3) the snow of the parking lot is always plowed when needed, usually in the early morning, or at minimum, same day. Working with them on other things, including rent negotiation, has gone well. If there's anything I would suggest, it would be to improve their tenant referral process. I've tried to refer many people for "fee"-free renting, and the office doesn't get back to them. I'm not sure if there's a preference for realtors, but it does seem that way? If you're very interested, I would just recommend showing up to their office in person!
