When it was time for my mom to move closer to family I arrived back in Boston to do a very fast…read moremove. I called five different major players in the local real estate arena with what I knew was a prime piece of property to list. Of those five messages that I left saying that I had seven days to pack, move,clean, list and sell my mothers home only one person from one office returned my phone call and that was Zehra. Her enthusiasm and knowledge as well as the ability to handle a very emotional seller was beyond exceptional. Being in the business myself I realized immediately that she was extraordinarily talented and effective. We discussed strategies and first and foremost she handled my mother with kid gloves. Needless to say in that amount of time, she had the house listed, helped me find reliable local people to empty it and get it ready for market. Needless to say by the end of that week when we flew out of Boston everything she promised had been done flawlessly. On top of that within a few days of landing home we had a signed contract 16% over asking price. Trust me Brad Hutchinson real Estate and Zehra Our five-star all the way , it's all in the results And I am forever grateful. P.S. As of this review I've still not gotten a return phone call back from any of the other major agencies

Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. If you're an engineer type like me, he'll give you a spreadsheet market analysis, if you are are more mood and feel, he will speak to that. 5) Great negotiator 6) Super punctual and responsive, we pulled off a 30-day closing window which wouldn't have been possible w/o Rich's professionalism I could go on. So glad we found him.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

We bought our home in 1993 through Jim Joly & Boardwalk. He made it seem so simple and easy. We…read morereally felt the he was looking out for our best interest. We told him what we wanted and he showed us that and others that we thought we would like. He always kept us up to date what was going on and make the entire process so memorable. When we closed on the house he gave us a beautiful drawing of the house that we cherish to this day. With that being said when we went to sell my husband's mothers house on Linda Rd in Wakefield in 2017, there was no one else that we could think of or wanted to list the house with. Jim Joly and the entire staff at Boardwalk are extremely professional while being personable at the same time. Jim walked us through all the steps and then listed our house. The house was sold literally within a week of it being on the market. The inspection, walk through and everything else went through without a hitch. Although it was hard to sell the house my husband grew up in Jim helped find the perfect family and put all our worries about selling the house at ease. Knowing this was my husband's childhood home he gave us a drawing of this house as well. These are thing that we will always cherish. We honestly can't say enough about working with Jim and Boardwalk. They are so knowledgeable about the market and areas that they list in. They walk you though everything so you don't feel lost and overwhelmed.

We used Boardwalk Real Estate Corp to both sell our first home and buy our second home (our dream…read morehome!). I have been completely satisified with the customer service they have provided. Joyce Kiley was our realtor. She has been in the business for years! She is very knowledgable about the area, knows the market and establishes a fair price. The ultimate decision is up to you as to what you want to sell your house for or put in an offer, but since we don't do it all the time and she does, we took her suggestions and guidance very seriously. She is very attentive, friendly and knows her stuff and many people in the business. She has given us numerous recommendations for loan officers, home inspectors, etc. She provides a whole market analysis on your property. We listed and sold our "funky" house in a month! :) I didn't really like the website they use to send out houses that match your criteria - we used Redfin more often then not. But I did like the feedback application/website they used to provide us with up to date feedback from all the different buyers that have come through our house! I highly recommend Boardwalk, and especially Joyce! She is well known in the real estate business in the area, we went to two open houses and the listing agents both knew Joyce and said great things about her!

My husband and I are first-time homebuyers who were looking to buy in Melrose during a very…read morecompetitive market (late 2022/early 2023). On a whim, we went to an open house in Melrose and decided to make an offer. We contacted Kim Perrotti and she helped us put together an offer (and get pre-approved!) in under 24 hours. Although we got outbid with that first house, we ended up getting the second house we put on offer on, which is unheard of in this market. Kim was never pushy and did not waste our time showing us any houses that we weren't interested in or that didn't meet our criteria. For the house we ended up in, we worked with Jay Morneault on our offer. With Jay's guidance, we were able to put together a winning offer despite there being 11 other offers. We are so grateful to Jay and the entire team for helping us achieve our dream of home ownership, especially in this competitive market. They know the Melrose area incredibly well and they helped make the home buying process as streamlined and stress-free as possible. I would definitely work with the Kim Perrotti team again when buying or selling in Melrose.
