“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
“I'd strongly recommend Jill! We felt like we were in good hands every step of the way”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“We can't say enough good things about our experience with Sarah. Throughout the buying process, we always felt that she understood our needs and put our best interest first. She was professional yet completely approachable, and she has given us many tips about our new neighborhood and the surrounding area. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Boston area.”
“We were referred to Michelle by a friend. She knows Newton and the surrounding areas; she knows real estate; she knows everyone associated with real estate, including mortgage brokers, inspectors, and insurance agents. Michelle is very professional but also personable. She has a knack for explaining markets trends and is skilled at reading the psychological aspects of an offer/counter-offer. She was extremely responsive and helped us buy an incredible house in a great location - in the hottest market in history! In short, I recommend Michelle with great enthusiasm. She is the absolute best.”
“I had been referred to Marc by a family friend. I could not have been happier. He was incredibly accommodating, understanding, patient and most importantly transparent throughout the process of the sale. I felt very reassured having him represent me through this whole process.”
“Chris saw me through the sale of my home, and stayed with me to help me find the perfect place in my chosen location. She was professional throughout, but at the same time I feel I’ve found a friend. I’m so grateful to Chris, Ralph and Laurie. Can’t thank them enough for having my best interests at heart.”
“We were matched up with Greg Maund who was an incredible broker and help us get the apartment of our dreams. ”
“Scott was excellent and I highly recommend him. As a first time buyer, I had many questions and concerns, and he answered and alleviated all of them. We were on the same page from the start regarding strategy, and he deftly navigated through a couple unexpected and complicated situations after the initial offer had been accepted. I definitely plan on using Scott for any future real estate needs.”
“Kyle moore and kim arsenalt saved my llife. I Just had a son. Lost my mom. My paperwork wasnt great. these 2 put things together that i couldnt have emagined.hear i am now in a multi. Tenants ask how i want the rent paid. I look at them like they're crazy for 2 seconds and say "check or M.O.".IF YOU Feel like me. Those are the ones you want on your team. Then grab KATHY as the lawyer. Shes the best too”
