She was also very patient with us during the search given what was available on the market at the time and what we were looking for.

We had so many moments when we could've put in an offer, or we could've settled for less, but Melanie did not allow that to happen. With her expertise and her ability to just fully understand what we truly wanted, she was able to give us advice that was thoughtful and she would not let us settle for less than what we wanted! Even when we had questions or any concerns, Melanie was super responsive and made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we know this is far from true. She really helped guide us through the whole home buying process and made sure we felt 100% comfortable before moving forward in the process. She helped us get our offer accepted on a home where she could tell that we could really picture ourselves, and 4 months in, my husband and I couldn't be happier living in our new home!

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

Rich Rosa was fantastic.

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.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

Impossible you say?! Well to that, I assure you that you have not yet met Chrissy. For if you have, you have likely already experienced perhaps the most seamless and personable rental process in history. Not only was she very easy to speak to over the phone, but she was empathetic and accommodating with regards my constraints (I emphasize this as it was a holiday). I have a habit of moving at a fast pace, which was pushed into overdrive considering flight-determined deadline. While this can, from time to time, throw most people off or be a little overwhelming, she managed to get everything done with the highest level of professionalism and in record time. As for my new home, it is day 9 of my occupancy and I couldn't be happier. Really, I couldn't have found a better place to live. Thanks Chrissy!

Exceptional Real Estate Partner - Phil Delivers Results…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Phil at Park Hou Group through Splice on multiple transactions over the years. Phil helped me purchase a single-family home in Cambridge, buy a townhouse condo in Somerville, and later sell the condo. Each experience exceeded my expectations. Going Above and Beyond from Day One For my Cambridge purchase, Phil's team secured an early showing before the open house, allowing me to submit a competitive offer ahead of the crowd. In Cambridge's cutthroat market, this strategic move made all the difference--I'm confident I wouldn't have gotten the house otherwise. Phil provided an incredibly detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) that gave me the confidence to make a strong but justified offer. Expert Advice That Pays Dividends One of Phil's best recommendations was converting my 2-bed, 1.5-bath home into a 3-bed, 2-bath. This renovation created a versatile home office and guest room, and when I relocated, significantly increased the property's rental value. It's rare to find a realtor who thinks so strategically about long-term value. Unmatched Expertise and Resources Phil's personal experience with rental properties and renovations sets him apart. As a first-time renovator, I had countless questions, and Phil never hesitated to share his knowledge--even well after closing. I later learned he develops properties himself and manages investment properties for other clients, which explains his deep understanding of what to buy, what to avoid, and how to maximize ROI on improvements. A Full-Service Team with Vetted Professionals Phil has built an impressive network of trusted vendors--inspectors, architects, contractors, loan officers, attorneys, photographers, stagers, and more. When he makes a recommendation, I don't waste time researching alternatives because I know they're competent and fairly priced. This network is invaluable and saves tremendous time and stress. Proactive Marketing That Gets Results When selling my condo, Phil convinced me to stage the property (excellent advice) and staffed the open house with multiple team members to ensure every visitor felt attended to. What impressed me most was his follow-through--he personally called every prospective buyer multiple times for feedback and to maintain engagement. Phil doesn't just list properties; he actively sells them. Always Available, Always Professional Throughout every transaction, Phil was accessible via text and phone, answering questions and easing anxieties. His communication style is both professional and reassuring during what can be a stressful process. I've recommended Phil to all my friends because I genuinely believe you won't find a better realtor in the Boston area. His combination of market knowledge, strategic thinking, and exceptional service makes him an invaluable partner in any real estate transaction.

Splice Realty is and has been amazing…read more They were the reality group that help my partner and I brought our first home. On every step of the way, they walk and talk us though it. As first time home buyer, there were many things that we didn't know or weren't aware of. Splice educated us on so many different things such as flood zones, tax, and other fees. They made as feel comfortable with every decision and empower every decision with facts. They honesty and fact checking was something we needed. Buying a house is difficult but factors such as the pandemic and inflation doesn't make anything easier. So we highly recommend this group. They really do have your back, have your best interest, make time for any questions you have, and never rush the sale. Thank you, Splice!

So a friend of mine once asked 'Why the heck would you spend money on a realtor - they don't do…read moreanything for that 5%' That friend never met Charles. Here's the deal. Charles is in it for the realty experience, not in it for the sale. Sure, he wants to get your place sold, or get you into your new home - but he wont do it just to get another transaction. As a buyer, when I suggested I might want to consider areas outside of Cambridge/Somerville (i.e. maybe Boston or Brookline), he respectfully told me that he would be happy to refer us to someone who knew those neighborhoods. He knows his area so well, and wanted us to have someone who knew other areas just as well as he did. That focus on Cambridge/Somerville showed even stronger as a seller's agent, where he was able give us all the necessary guidance to prepare, show, and sell our condo for a price we were very happy with - and in around 40 days. take in that last statement. Yes, we got a price we were happy with and a list-to-offer of 40 DAYS.... this year..... And while some of that has to do with the property, a lot of it was helped by Charles' input, suggestions, and diligence in getting the property staged, marketed, and represented - allowing me to actually experience a minimal impact of the whole process. this - plus everything that happened during negotiation, paperwork, and closing - is the reason that a realtor is essential. Scratch that - it's the reason that an awesome realtor is essential. Trust me, when you end up with someone subpar (and sadly I have several times), it is a whole different deal. Charles is that awesome realtor. If I were ever to buy or sell in his area again, there's no one else I would trust

Selling our Cambridge condo was not something I had planned to do. My husband had recently passed,…read moreand I was grieving. However, our tenants had to break their lease, and I was left with an empty condo during the holiday season. To sell or not to sell, that was the question. I had talked to other agents and was feeling pressured and lost. Then, I saw a review for Charles Cherney online. What a happy, happy find! Charles was very professional, reassuring and knowledgeable from day one. He took what seemed an overwhelming circumstance and made it into a very doable project. Each and every step along the way (and there were many) was anticipated, dealt with, taken care - and we were on to the next one. Charles' expertise and experience proved to be spot on. We had over two hundred people at the first open house! The condo was put on the market on a Thursday and by the following Wednesday (after three days of private showings and three public open houses), we had over a dozen bids, with most of them well over the listing price. I recommend Charles Cherney to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in Cambridge or Somerville. He listens, advises, and takes care of both you and the process. He is more than an expert in his field - he is a kind, considerate, compassionate person, with a wonderful sense of humor.
