I recently put in an offer on one of Jeffrey Chubb's properties. After an inspection of the…read moreproperty I decided not to continue with the offer. Chubb refused to release the deposit unless I gave him a copy of the full inspection report. This is illegal. He is not entitled to this information but is trying to extort a free inspection report on the property. He has also placed the listing back on the market, but still has my deposit. I would advice both those looking to list their homes and searching for a new home to steer clear of him. He is dishonest, unethical and unprofessional

I'm writing this review with a huge amount of happiness -- I can easily give a perfect review for…read moreLisa Doherty-Santana at Griffin Properties. If you're buying, here's what to expect: - Lisa will sit down with you and conduct a friendly interview on what you want to buy. - Lisa will recommend fantastic experts as part of your buying team: home insurance, lawyers, and mortgage lenders. The only recommendation we did not use was the home inspector due to scheduling and our own prior use. EVERY recommendation Lisa gives is a "tried and true" team member. They are all excellent. We used Jeff Nelson from Bank of America, Jeff Shargel's law office, and Matt Davison for the homeowner's insurance. All were excellent. - Lisa will email you listings of what you want, schedule showings, and give you open house notifications too. We saw a ton of properties in many towns -- Lisa does a lot of legwork. She even picked us up at the train station once when our car broke down. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! - Lisa is organized, fights for you, and is always your advocate. She asks questions you didn't even think of asking. - Lisa is super friendly, confident, smart, and a FANTASTIC negotiator. Even at our final home walkthrough, she found a minor item needing repair, got us monetary protection in the 11th hour (at closing!), and worked with the lawyers. She does this all with panache and friendliness. - Lisa is honest and tells you what you need to hear. She delivers bad news with such friendly skill and diplomacy, that you can't help but move forward with a better feeling instead of a negative one. She is such an excellent advocate. I highly, highly recommend her. She has a great communication style. Go to Lisa! We were in such good hands with many life changes happening all at once -- Lisa was there every step of the way. Happy house hunting! :)

My fiance and I were first time home buyers this spring 2009. We tried it on our own for a while…read moreand realized it was a pretty complicated thing to take on, so we took our chances with the small independent real estate office down my street and I asked for Lisa based on her glowing reviews. Long story short: she was everything and more! She took us all over the city and surrounding towns to search for the perfect home. Every weekend she updated us with open houses, checked in with us often and when we did attend showings together, she knew just what to ask the seller's agent. She remembered what we both specifically looked for in a home and went out of her way to find that. She was always available and responsive to calls or emails. Lisa is not only a wonderful person, full of energy and so friendly, she is extremely adept at negotiating with sellers agents and hooking us up to excellent lenders and attorney. We felt she was really looking out for us every step of the way, and count her as a friend! It was a memorable and positive experience buying our first home at Griffin, and we have been telling all friends and family about our experience, and hope this entry will help you feel confident about working with them too! We are also planning on coming back to Lisa when we eventually sell and buy our next home. 5 stars all the way!

We ran across Harborside Realty while researching the North Shore area for our relocation from…read moreFlorida. If Harborside Realty as a team is anything like Dick McKinley as an individual, then I give them an A+. I highly recommend Dick McKinley as your go to guy for real estate. Dick is super professional, never intimidating and he's so friendly that you just want to buy what he's selling (no strong arming needed)! Dick always responds to email and phone calls promptly which is so important in real estate. I had a question (unrelated to the property) that Dick was unsure of and he made a call on the spot to get the answer for me. He took the time needed to show us the property and never made us feel rushed the way some other local realtors had done. Again, if you're looking for a realtor or property, check out Harborside Realty and Dick McKinley!

My only caveat is the house staging firm Ta Do Ta Done was not as professional and if I had to do it again would have used a different staging company. Thank You Matt, Dick and Mike for taking the stress out of what is often a stressful transaction.

My wife and I purchased a home this past August in North Reading with the help of Debbie Miller. As…read morefirst time home buyers, it was very helpful to have a realtor as patient and informative as Deb. We always felt much more comfortable viewing a home with her by our side. We were also very appreciative of how she made herself available to us at any time if we had questions or needed to fill out paperwork. It was great working with Deb and we strongly recommend her to others. Oh and her website was the best we found for tracking real estate activity. It was nice being able to get daily email notifications on the towns we were considering.

We've worked with Marie on two transactions: buying our home and selling a condo. If working with…read moreher a second time doesn't speak loudly enough, we've also referred her to several friends who have had worked with her. Why is she amazing? She has very deep knowledge of Newton and the areas she works in: local trends in the market, developers who are active, neighborhood differences. She's been quite patient with us when taking our time to decide what would work. She's very honest and plainspoken when she feels what's being asked isn't realistic. She's hyper organized and makes juggling the million steps and laws look easy. She's hyper connected to all the people you need... need a stager? Need an inspector to look things over? need a plumber urgently for a gas leak? She knows everyone and they take her call. But everyone who's been there knows what you really need sometimes is a pit bull, and Marie gets things done.

I want to echo the review from Scott H…read more My wife and I sold our house about 10 days ago with Marie's help. It was a great experience and she did a great job. We could not be happier. Originally, I wasn't sold on the idea of using a real estate agent. I was considering selling the house myself. A friend recommended Marie and she came up and met with us for about two hours. We were impressed and decided to hire her. She did a great job of balancing our input with her expertise. Marie hadn't sold a house in our neighborhood before and was very open to what we had to say. She also was honest about how she saw our house. In the end, we listed the house for an aggressive price and got the full asking price. We not only had one offer at full price but we had a backup offer also at full price if the first one fell through. You couldn't ask for more. One of the great things that she did was bring in a team of "home stagers" to give us guidance on how to prepare the house for sale. We ended up doing everything they suggested and it was worth it. It was a bunch of work getting the house ready to be shown, we had to pack a bunch of stuff and move some furniture around, but it resulted in us getting the price we wanted and selling the house in ten days. She also brought in a professional photographer to take pictures. This wasn't the easiest thing to do since we were taking pictures in February of 2015 and there was about 5 feet of snow on the ground. The pictures did a great job of showcasing the house. Not to sing her praises even more, but she also did a great job of negotiating. The buyer's real estate agent was a bit of a challenge to work with, but Marie represented our interests firmly but politely and in the end, everything went very well. To wrap this up, I would highly recommend Marie if you are selling (or buying) a house in the Boston area. She is very professional, friendly and responsive. We could not be happier.
