Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. 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.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

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. Melanie was easy to talk to, always listened and respected our feedback, and working with her it was clear she wanted to find us the right home and not just make a sale. While Melanie helped us find our forever home, we would use her again and are happy to recommend her to others!

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!

Everything went smooth, we viewed it, the apartment was empty, and then they ghosted us for over a week.

We never got confirmation after another week. I emailed and called, no response.... Don't waste your time.

This was our first time buying a property, and she made us very comfortable with the process. Nicole always provided the highest level of customer service, would answer our questions (no matter how small) in an extremely timely fashion via email, text, or phone. She made us feel as though we were her only client. She was always on top of new listings that fit our criteria and would share them immediately. She worked hard to get us into properties as soon as possible (sometimes before an open house) or even properties that were not officially on the market yet. We looked only in the immediate metro area (Boston-proper, Somerville, Cambridge) and she was knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods. Highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for a new home.

She is extremely unprofessional, unorganized and honestly quite rude. I have never been so unimpressed with a realtor. Unless you want someone who's going to disappear and ignore your needs as soon as she gets money from you, don't go to her! I cannot believe they let such unprofessional people work at their office who seriously only care about money and not their clients. Avoid her at all costs, she has no idea what she's doing. I do have friends who have used others in the office and really enjoyed it. Just stay away from Nico is all I am saying.

Lisa Ventresca is my heroine, and I am not lying. She showed so much care for my girlfriend and I…read moreat the time when we were looking for an apartment in Boston, I'm so happy Yelp has given me the opportunity to write about her. The incredible thing is Ron Ventresca, her colleague in the office, actually took time out of his personal schedule to introduce us to the landlords and went over and beyond to smooth things over with them and let them know that we would be good tenants. Lisa and Ron are simply fantastic in every way. Even before we committed to the apartment we ultimately moved into, we were about to sign a lease for another apartment when Lisa could see I wasn't enthused about it. She assured us that she would keep looking for us and I was amazed but expected nothing. That very day, she called and she said it was a steal and a better apartment! I couldn't believe it and for this, I am indebted to Lisa. The apartment we moved to was just down the street from the office and Lisa always remembered us. This is exactly what a "neighborhood' realty company should be about.

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.

He would offer multiple approaches and points of view and was clear that, ultimately, I was in the driver's seat and had the final decision. When my husband and I are ready to move on from our current home, we'll definitely be working with Andrew and his team.
