We engaged Hawthorne's service to survey and stake out our residential property, which includes…read morewetlands. We expect the ownership of properties adjacent to us to change in the near future, and we determined that it was critical to know where the boundaries are. Hawthorne Land Surveying Services put these questions to bed. Chad was always professional, personable, respectful and easy to work with. After discussing the workscope of the project, he required very little direction for moving forward. His prices were very reasonable. Chad was always prompt in his communications. He informed us when he would visit or if he needed to reschedule. He kept us up to date on the progress of the project and was amenable to changing the workscope as needed. Chad would readily answer any questions. He explained basic surveying information to us patiently and in detail (it was admittedly a surprising pleasure to learn and appreciate a part of the world that always been there in front of us, but that we did not see or understand). We also appreciated his honesty. If he definitively knew the answer to a question, he stated it. If there was ambiguity, he laid out the options. Perhaps above all else, I felt like he took the time for us to understand and appreciate what we were paying for and what the other options were. He was clearly looking out for our best interest. In our final meeting, he walked the entire property with us and made sure we understood where the stakes were (lots of thickets in the wetlands) and how they were notated. We highly recommend Hawthorne and will use him again if we ever need those services.

He's very personable, respectful, and most of trustworthy he's looking out for your best interest! He went above and beyond our expectations with our Land Survey Plans for a process that me and my wife took us 7 months to solve. He's an awesome guy and his prices are very reasonable in the industry and worth the extra wait if needed! He's also very prompt and need very little direction, he's a professional. We will use him again for sure on our the next house we are buying and tell all our friends!

I was completely blown away by the service I received. To…read morebe honest, I have had bad or so/so experiences as a tenant, working with my landlords property managers in the past. Rayshell and her team were always available. Or returned any correspondence in a reasonable time frame. If an issue arose with the property. One of the members of the team would be at the unit to investigate and/or get the appropriate service that was needed for the issue. ie. Pluming, electric, ext. as soon as they were available. Ledgers were always up to date and accurate. Their app is also very user friendly. Finally, I cant harp enough about their professionalism! Each time I met with either Rayshell or a team member. I felt informed and educated about Landlord/Tenant rights and obligations. I wasn't always happy. However, I respect that proper protocols were enforced and explained. I cant wait until I'm ready to buy a home of my own. I believe they will utilize the same degree of care within their reality company.

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Kathy. We were first-time home buyers with very…read morelittle knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Kathy, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and hands-on (she even crawled into creepy attics to check insulation for us!), and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Kathy walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we thank Kathy for that every day! We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we always recommend Kathy to them!

Servicing people behind a counter at the age of 14 taught me you can turn a frown into a smile by being courteous and giving personal attention. Moving from Pennsylvania to New England opened my eyes to the stress and adjustments a family faces when relocating their family and integrating their lives into a new community. Starting Welcome Wagon in Shrewsbury was my incentive so new families relocating had a friend, activities, and contacts to fill their needs. The lonely days turned into a lifetime of friendships with the club still active and a social connection. Realizing that the majority of Real Estate Professionals have never relocated from the town they service and having a difficult move myself, my neighbor encouraged me to obtain my Real Estate License. Life progressed learning the business from 1978 to 1984 when Spangler & Spangler Real Estate was formulated and active today as Spangler Select Real Estate Solutions. I continue to love problem-solving and finding creative ways to move ahead as an optimist yet a solution for a long or short term needs is my mantra. Having moved 6 times with 5 newly constructed homes opened my mind to renovations versus moving...

In early 2012 I used Coldwell Banker in Shrewsbury, MA to find a rental home. After signing a…read morerental agreement and writing a check, it turned out that the agent who I was working with, violated my trust. She (the agent) mishandled the check that I had written causing me hundreds in overdraft fees, several bounced checks and tension between myself and my new landlord. This agent also lied to the landlord and I about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Coldwell Banker refused to correct the situation and left me in debt for their follies with an "oh well" attitude. If your finances are important to you, I would strongly suggest staying far away from Coldwell Banker, especially the Shrewsbury, MA location. For the name of the specific agent, please feel free to email me.

I was a little weary to have a solicited agent reach out without vetting but I decided to roll the dice since the process and area was new and unfamiliar to me. Boy am I glad I took that chance. Terri is AMAZING! From day one to after the sale she was right by our side at every step and this was FAR from being a simple sale. Any twist or turn she let me know what was up and how we were going to navigate. She NEVER made me feel rushed or neglected. She always made time to explain everything to me as the novice I was but never made me feel patronized. We are past the closing but there is still work that needs to be done. Terri promised that she would be available with any questions we have or recommendations we need and to this point she has lived up to that promise every time. Professional, knowledgeable, and just an all around awesome person. I can honestly say without Terri's help there would have been a good chance I would have been out a $10,000 deposit and no home. I can only speak to Terri, but I can not recommend her enough!
