Our buyers agent, Donna Digiovine, of Markel Realty Group/ Keller Williams Realty, Westford, MA was a delight to work with and delivered above and beyond our highest expectations. She possessed an exceptional level of detailed knowledge of the buying process from our initial contact through our closing. We appreciated her professionalism guiding us through each decision and helping us every step of the way. We were buying a home from across country sight unseen. She was right there for us, utilizing Zoom and current technology to communicate with the us and the seller, do remote walk throughs of the property and identify important questions we needed to ask. Donna's knowledge and experience resulted in several recommendations we would not have considered, greatly improving the quality and livability of our home. She was right on top of everything for us and communicated with us in a timely manner. It was a stressful experience and she was a rock talking us through rough spots and helping us understand our best options and course of actions. Her insightful recommendations and comprehensive knowledge of real estate were beneficial and much appreciated. We felt so fortunate having her watching our backs. Donna was there for us. It was evident that she cared and was working hard on our behalf to achieve the best possible outcome for us first and foremost. We received a referral from someone who said that Donna went the extra mile for her clients, that her primary goal was to insure they find the home they love and provide them an exceptional buying experience. Donna met and exceeded that recommendation. She delivered all of that and so much more. She was a delight to work with. Donna is a true gem as a realtor, a person and now as a friend. We highly recommend her. If you are in search for a quality realtor who will help you find and buy your dream home give Donna a call and see for yourself. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Rented a property through The Markel Realty Group and have been a little disappointed. In the…read moretwelve months that we have been with at the property, we have not heard one thing until we informed them we were leaving. They have been extremely disorganized in terms of getting a replacement tenant. We leave the property tomorrow and still this property management company has not even contacted us to arrange collection of the keys - unbelievable. We can't say that these guys are bad, the simple fact is we just don't know as there has been no interaction. Not a good experience from a renter perspective.

Beyond her professionalism, she has a warm and honest character. As first time home buyers, we were unsure of what and where to buy. Rhonda never pushed us to complete the transaction, as many other agents would. Instead, she provided us with timely market research on top of her suggestions based on decades of professional experiences. She respected our decisions and always trying to find what is best for us wholeheartedly. Rhonda works with a great team of professionals. They are helpful, responsive, and easy going. Our transaction went smoothly without any delays or troubles, from bidding, to inspection, to signing purchase and sales, and to closing. One of the superpowers Rhonda has is to help with deciding the offer amount, fine-tuning the price bidding process to different transactions while reserving the best interest for us. We would have either not get the house we are in now or overpaid for other places. Rhonda was there to ensure these did not happen. Overall, we had a great experience working with Rhonda, and deep in our hearts we think Rhonda more than a working agent; She is a friend to us, and we truly believe that if you choose Rhonda, you will be in good hands.

My boyfriend and I both work in retail so we expected it to be tough meeting up with a realtor. This was not the case with Lydia. As our realtor, she was the perfect match for us especially when we would be up late on realtor.com looking at homes for a next day showing. As soon as we contacted Lydia, through email or text, and in many cases at the last minute about seeing a home, she was always able to meet up whenever it was best for us. Lydia is also patient and cares about the buyers' needs which is why we never hesitated communicating our private discussions to her. Whether it was looking at a condo or a house (my boyfriend and I were very indecisive), Lydia made something as big as signing a 30 year mortgage- easy and fun! Just when we had exhausted our search for the right place and decided to take a break from looking, Lydia found us the house we're in now. Because of Lydia Foley at Century 21, and all the qualities and characteristics about her and her attention to detail and dedication to her clients, my boyfriend and I are in our dream home and could not be happier!
