“Craig Celli was terrific from the very start and through to the very end of the transaction. When he came to view the property for the first time, he demonstrated knowledge, experience, and was friendly and communicative. I knew right after our meeting that he was the broker I would choose to market and sell the property. He also was very hands-on in preparing the home for sale - he worked on things himself and he personally knew and introduced me to a number of people who assisted in the work associated with preparing the home for sale (cleaners, electricians, etc.). All of the people he referred worked out perfectly. I was selling this property as a fiduciary so was not located in the area - Craig took on the responsibility of being my "boots on the ground" throughout the marketing and pre-sale. In short, I could not have asked for a better professional to market and sell this property. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.”

“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns. Sarah was a strong advocate for me during negotiations to secure a fair price and credits towards closing. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a dedicated expert agent.”

“November, 2025 We had a very positive experience working with Kathy Tully. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve our goals. Her understanding of the local market was helpful, and she provided clear guidance at every step of the process. What stood out most was her professionalism and communication. She answered every question promptly, explained each part of the transaction in a way that was easy to understand, and always made us feel like a priority. Whether it was scheduling showings, handling negotiations, or coordinating details behind the scenes, Kathy went above and beyond to make the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We are pleased with the results and highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Ken & Suzanne Malach”

“Rosa stepped in when we were not getting anywhere in finding a suits property. Within 72 hours Rosa had several viewings booked and we had 2 offers in place. Ultimately she brokered a great deal on the perfect place to purchase. She continued to work with us throughout the process and closing. She even helped communicate with the previous agents when we needed something fixing. She is an excellent agent and great ambassador for Real Satisfied.”
“Thank you and great job!!”
“Great real estate experience with Charlotte. I recently had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as my realtor, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her outstanding service throughout the entire home buying process. From our initial meeting to the closing day, Charlotte demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that greatly met my expectations. One of Charlotte's standout qualities is her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand my preferences and priorities, providing valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and future market trends. Her expertise not only streamlined the decision-making process but also ensured that I made informed choices.”
“Sherry Bourque got my house up and sold so quick. We had a high volume of people coming through. The closing process was smooth.I would so recommend Sherry and her team anytime.”
“Shawn and Dee were amazing. They made the process very easy and were always available for questions or guidance.”
“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.”
