“There is no one who can equal Vicki's expertise, commitment, honesty and drive. From before sunrise to midnight, Vicki is present 100%, texts, emails even phone calls answered within minutes. Vicki was assigned to us by the VA in 2015 to find our first home. Ten years later, she sold that house in record time, with closing a month later. She handled everything, even before a signed contract. Her network of lenders, lawyers, contractors and handymen saved us thousands as well as time. There is no one we trust more to handle our real estate transactions. What makes Vicki top in her field is her commitment and continued interaction during the years in between. Cards, drop by visits, homemade fudge during the holidays and donating to our son's fundraisers over the years. She isn't just our realtor, she's part of our family because she genuinely cares about each of us. She will always be a part of our life- a gift without measure.”

“Kathryn went above and beyond. She worked the selling of the home while we were out of the country even. She was the perfect fit for us as an agent.”
“Kim has been wonderful with our family and helped sell our home quickly. The process went smoothly and would recommend her to anyone in need. Thank you so much for all you have done for us.”

“Working with Meldina was an absolute pleasure! She is incredibly knowledgeable, knows the market inside and out, and helped us close our sale faster than we ever expected. Her expertise and confidence made the whole process smooth and stress-free. On top of that, Meldina is fun, energetic, and truly a joy to work with — her positive attitude made every step enjoyable. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who delivers results and keeps things upbeat along the way, I can’t recommend Meldina enough!”
“I have already shared your info with friends! I don't know how you teach and sell real estate, especially with chilren. I know this wasn't easy especially after the first two interested buyers backed out. However, receiving that earnest money helped us out. Thanks for smoothing out the rough spots for us. It was hard since we were under the gun to sell. That was the hardest part”
“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”
“John was very professional and very helpful in answering any questions we had in the sale of our home. Thank you John”
“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”
“Shawn came highly recommend and did not disappoint. He has been on the ball and on my side from begining to end. His local knowledge was invaluable as a buyer moving from out of state and his follow through with vetted vendors for after the purchase smoothed the transition. Shawn Jones is a man of his word and goes above and beyond.”
“Miguel was amazing 10/10 definitely recommend! He is very knowledgeable and super attentive, he really made this first time home buying process very smooth and the best of all is that he was very understanding.”
“Barb provided exceptional service throughout my home-buying experience. She demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. I am grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.”
“Cinny helped us sell and buy a condo at the same time and the whole experience was so smooth. From helping us list our place, going to showings with us, and answering all our concerns, I don’t know how she did it all but she was there for us. We were able to do both the selling and buying within 3 months which still amazes me how quick and easy she made this process. She was proactive in finding places and booking showings that work around our schedule. And what I really love is how well she understood what my partner and I were looking for in a home. We ended up buying the place she had suggested for us. Originally this place was not on our radar but she highly recommended us to check it out and we’re so glad we did. We’re so happy with new home and this could not have been done without Cinny!”
“Brittany was the best agent anyone can ask for always very informative and guided me threw all the steps as a first time home buyer I can not say enough about how amazing/professional she was as a first time home buyer i would recommend her to anyone who really wants someone to be in your corner on getting the perfect house that best suits your interest i found a home perfect for my family and it was all thanks to Brittany absolutely amazing 10/10”
“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
“I can’t recommend Emir highly enough! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He truly had my best interests at heart and made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. His attention to detail and dedication went above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who knows the market and actually cares about their clients, Emir is the one!”
“Paula helped us every step of the way when we purchased our first home. I would recommend her to everyone. She always made time to answer our questions and explain the process. She's simply the best!”
“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”
“Working with Tracy Anderson gave us a leg up. She is very knowledgeable of the market. She was very patient with my father. She staged the Home well using his furniture which made it look great. Her negotiating skills helped us through some potentially tricky issues and let us net the most possible. I would recommend her 100%!”
