In specific, Kylene Canon, one of the realtors -- she just finished our final walk-through with us,…read morefor our very first home-buying. The house closes tomorrow morning, and Kylene has been the most incredible person throughout the experience. From day one, where she took us to 10 houses in one busy morning, to Thanksgiving weekend, while she talked with the seller's realtor to get our offer accepted, til the week before closing, while our bank took FOREVER to deal with documents, Kylene has been unflappable, determined, knowledgeable, very much on our side, and so incredibly helpful thoughout all the stages of house-buying. Whether we needed her at 6am or 11pm, she would answer texts, emails, and phone calls; she was personable and kind, and I would recommend her to EVERYONE who is looking to buy a house.

She really knew what we wanted and did a great job finding it for us. We wouldn't use anyone else

I worked with Liza Hurlburt, who is as patient, kind, informative and helpful as any real estate agent could possibly be. She bent over backward to help us find the perfect house, inform us about the market, and never pressured us in any way. I really felt like she was on our side the whole time... actually more like we were house-hunting with a helpful friend who knew the industry up and down, rather than with an "agent." We ended up continuing to rent instead of buying a new home, sadly (for now, at least) due to circumstances beyond our control, but we are very grateful for all of Liza's help and the time she put into helping us make our dream come true. If you are looking for a home in the North Quabbin area, don't mess around... call these people!

Delighted and grateful for Mark Carmien's expert shepherding through our home-buying experience…read more Mark is so generous with his many high-quality connections, his time, expertise. And all this in a low-key, comfortable way. We purchased a house from all the way out in California. One three-day visit with lots of viewings. Great leads for loan, lawyer, inspector, et al. 1.5 months later, we drive into town with our kids and dog, sign the papers, and move into our big, beautiful house. Yay! Thank you, Mark!

We were buying a home that was in the final stages of construction, and Shelly spent endless hours helping us come to agreement on building details. Purchasing a new home can be a stressful experience. Shelly helped us to navigate the bumps with her positive, but realistic approach. I hope we never need to move again, but if we did in this area - we would hope to be so lucky as to work with Shelly again.

I worked with Craig Della Penna, a Murphy's agent, this April and May and I cannot give him enough…read morepraise. Not only did he do an incredible job selling my house in a difficult market and town, but he always made me feel supported during the process. I have worked with many real estate agents and agencies during my life, and Craig/ Murphy's was definitely the best at communication, honestly, and market analysis. The best part is that Craig is always honest with you, even if it is not something you want to hear. I highly recommend that anyone looking for an agent within a 45 minute radius of Northampton work with Craig (I was 45 minutes from Northampton) , whether you are a buyer or seller. You won't find a better realtor or agency.

SHAME!!!!!!!!! I purchased my first few homes from Murphy's…read morebecause they were local and part of the community. Now they are the agents for over 30 single-family ranch homes listed for over $1.3 million EACH off Glendale Road in Florence. Haven't the residents on Glendale Road suffered enough with the dump? The unsafe road? Why is a local real estate business working with a greedy, belligerent builder to make this area more unsafe?? So much for advocating for what's best for the residents of Northampton! I guess they are only worried about lining their pockets. Craig Della Penna was the realtor on my third house. I thought he was an upstanding man, but I guess as he ages money is his only motivation. It's a shame This complex is terrible for Northampton and most of all it's going to make an unsafe road deadly dangerous. Shame on you, Murphy's! I thought Northampton was worth more than that!! This is supposed to be affordable housing! Please explain to me how $1.4 million is affordable???

I had the good fortune of working with Diana Baronowski of Taylor Real Estate this spring. She…read morehelped me sell my Aunts house which needed a lot of work. She shared her many great ideas for improving the house's resale value, which were spot on. She also had many good contacts which was instrumental in making the changes we decided on in a timely manner. The entire process was stress free and seamless. Diana really goes to the mat for her clients and leaves it all on the floor. She is very motivated and professional. She was nothing short of a miracle worker! The house sold for well over asking in one day! Sarah Q, Easthampton

A long overdue review for the wonderful Diana Baronowski of Taylor Real Estate. I worked with her…read morefirst years ago in finding a rental, and was So impressed with her skill, hard work, compassion and going the extra mile, (as well as being a lovely, kind human to deal with) I knew I wanted to reach out to her when I was in the market to buy my first home. Diana seamlessly guided us through the challenging process of first time home ownership, and really went to bat for us to be able to buy our home. She's experienced, caring, patient and fair and works hard and goes the extra mile to support her clients and look out for us. When we encountered an unexpected challenge in our path she kept us updated and guided us through and made home ownership a reality for us, I'm so grateful for her help and recommend her to others. I'll go back to Diana for real estate needs in the future if they come up. We deeply appreciate all her work and efforts on our behalf.

I needed to downsize and sell my well loved unique home of nearly 40 years to move closer to…read morefamily. My seller's agent, Kathy Zeamer met with me and helped me plan a realistic schedule to cleaning out and preparing the house for sale. Kathy has an amazing rolodex of contacts for getting things done like tree work, basement sealing and painting, and rubbish removal quickly and reasonably priced. Kathy prepared a thorough report on comparable properties and helped set a reasonable price for our property that had few comparables. She ran an open house and even unstopped a toilet after one of the viewers plugged it - I never thought that would be a seller's agent service! Kathy was there through the entire sale. I had moved, and was no longer able to be on site, and she handled all of the last minute issues before closing. My house sold quickly and at near asking price, which means that it was correctly priced and well represented. She earned her commission and I am ever grateful.

Well guess what, it turns out that MOLD is important and living in this house has destroyed my health! Do NOT trust Greg Haughton, there's a reason why he is able to sell so many homes, it's because he lies to his clients and gaslights them for their REAL concerns.

Rachel Simpson was our realtor. I can't imagine having gone on this house hunting adventure with…read moreanyone other than Rachel. She is a local of Northampton and knows this market inside and out. She explains the entire process thoroughly and in a way that a lay person can understand. She was very responsive and really understood what I was looking for. I was looking both in CT and MA so I had two realtors - Rachel in MA and another realtor in CT. The difference between them was night and day. Rachel was not only knowledgeable but she felt like a friend - I trusted her and she understood and shared my passion for old houses and their craftsmanship. Without Rachel I don't think I would have found this home. Thank You Rachel! You are the best!!

Can't thank Jen and Robinson enough!
