What sets Colleen apart from other realtors is not just her expertise, but her character. In an…read moreindustry that can often feel fast-paced and sales-driven, Colleen is patient, kind, and never pushy. She prioritizes people over transactions and ensures that her clients feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. During our home-buying journey, there were many frustrating and stressful moments. At times, the process felt overwhelming and discouraging. Through it all, Colleen remained a steady source of positivity and reassurance. She was always reachable when we needed her, no matter the time or circumstance. Her responsiveness and calm demeanor gave us confidence when we needed it most. What impressed us most was her honesty. On more than one occasion, Colleen advised us that a house we were considering was not right for us. Rather than focusing on making a sale, she focused on making sure we made the right decision for our family. That level of integrity is rare and speaks volumes about her values as a businesswoman. Colleen's support went far beyond showing homes and negotiating contracts. She guided us through a difficult process with empathy, professionalism, and genuine care. Because of her, what could have been an overwhelmingly negative experience became one we look back on with gratitude. Colleen Toner represents the very best of what a businesswoman should be: experienced, ethical, compassionate, and deeply committed to the people she serves. Her impact goes far beyond real estate transactions -- she builds trust, confidence, and lasting relationships.

I would highly recommend Shane and his team.

Shane is an absolute Godsend…read more I came on my building's board of trustees to an absolute mess in 2018. We had a property management firm with a name that rhymes with "Parvest" that frankly did nothing but take condo fees - they didn't actually manage anything. We had bad relationships with our vendors, nothing ever got fixed, and everyone in the building was at best confused, at worst outright suspicious about the property management firm and the Board. I knew right away I'd found the right manager when I met Shane in late 2020. He's straight to the point, direct, and fast to respond (first time I called him was over Thanksgiving weekend - he called me back within 30 seconds). When he started in March 2021, he went to work right away. First thing he learned: our building was insolvent due to Parvest's poor management. In plain English, this means we would have been uninsurable and the banks issuing everyone's mortgages would have demanded repayment in full. NOT GOOD. But Shane saved our asses, creating a plan to raise the necessary money - and preparing for what could have been a difficult meeting, which he handled like a champ. He was able to calmly, plainly communicate why condo fees would have to increase. As a board member, I feel he presented this bad news in a mature, understandable way. Additionally, Shane forwent payment for months, until we had enough funds. The man went above and beyond. In my time on the board, I saw Shane handle everything from contractors with dishonest contracts to people with difficult personalities, all with unflappable grace. He can easily dissect condo docs and contracts and has an impeccable grasp on condo law - and can smell a bullshitter a mile away. Random fact: Shane worked on Wall Street before going into property management, and it shows. A year later, we're solvent, we have a reserve, we're paying our bills. We're amending our condo docs to modernize them (they hadn't been updated since 1986) and can start taking on projects and hiring better services. There's still a lot of work to be done, but things are going in the right direction. All in all, I have nothing but good to say about this business. Shane saved our association (and each of our investments) from ruin multiple times over. I'd recommend him to anyone, especially if you're sick of bad management companies that do nothing (doubly so if they rhyme with "Parvest"). 10/10, would hire Dynamic again!

Liars. Shady, lying liars…read more My husband and I wasted what felt like an eternity trying to buy a house from a seller using Connor Real Estate and they were impossible to deal with. The Connor agents that our real estate agent worked with told her that they could help us find an insurance company that would insure a house with knob and tube wiring (and they could help us finance it), they told us that the wiring did not need to be replaced; they told us that it had been replaced (it hadn't). They also refused to update the status of the house in MLS, despite having a signed contract on the house; refused to assist in getting useful answers to questions like "who owns the retaining wall in the backyard?" and "how old is that water filter in the kitchen?". In the end, the house needed more work than we were willing to put in and trying to negotiate the purchase was no longer worth our time, so we walked away and bought a much nicer house in a better neighborhood. To top it all off, after we walked, Connor's agents updated the MLS listing to state that the deal had fallen through because the buyers had credit issues and lost their financing - a straight up lie.

My boyfriend and I closed on our first, beautiful house, in Wenham Ma on Friday-what a long and…read morestrange journey it was. Having never bought a house before we were clue less on everything! We have very busy schedules and very type A personalities ( or at least I do) and after going through two agents very quickly that we didn't click with we found Colleen at Connor Real Estate-almost by mistake. My boyfriend was given a referral by a work associate for a man at Connor Real Estate that no longer worked there- Colleen answered and offered to meet with us that night! We must have seen over 200 houses-starting with thinking we would buy a foreclosure for like 100 grand and fix it up, to maybe something more complete in Lynn for 150. We looked in Salem, Beverly, Marblehead, Ipswitch, Gloucester, Peabody, Saugus & Wenham. Our ideas and requirements changed daily and Colleen was awesome, always available to answer our questions, show us the listings we wanted to see but also finding whatever it was we wanted that week! After one home inspection that went bad, we continued and ultimately bought a completely renovated home in Wenham near Pleasant Pond thanks to Colleen! She assisted us every step of the way, getting financing under extremely rigid deadlines, following up with appraisers, mortgage lenders. We couldn't have asked for a better agent and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy there home in the North Shore. Colleen is the best!
