Bill Gehan of Campion & Company is amazing at what he does. If you are looking to purchase ( or…read morelist) your property I would highly recommend that you speak to Bill to get his opinion, and hear about his plans to find you a home that you love, or to sell your property smoothly and professionally. Initially I contacted Bill about a property that he had listed and I thought it was under agreement...but then saw another company advertising it as still available. Bill answered right away about the listing and was apologetic that it was no longer available. He was so kind and helpful when I contacted him that I decided to look at property with him. What a smart decision! Bill knows the neighborhoods of Boston, and can pick up on subtle things about a property that you may not be aware of when looking. Buying a home is important, and having an expert like Bill is essential. He also seems to know ( by name!) 50 percent of the people that he passes by on the street in Back Bay. I have some health issues that have complicated our housing search, and not once did Bill make me feel like a burden. In fact, he made sure to ask the right questions to ensure that I would wind up in a situation that I could stay long term. If you're looking for old fashioned (outstanding) service, integrity and a real estate professional that will be an advocate for you, I implore you to contact Bill. He is not only excellent at what he does, he also makes the process fun, and is a terrific communicator.

We engaged Tracy Campion for the purchase of a condominium in the Back Bay. Our initial negotiation…read morefor the property was conducted over the telephone with her. She did not share her cell phone number with us at any time. Once our offer to purchase was accepted, she made a cameo appearance at a brief revisit to the unit. That was the only time that we met with her. Thereafter, despite my specifically asking for her, she was never available as we moved through the process of inspection etc through to the closing. Any additional communication with her office was through one of her employees. Olivia was pleasant and helpful. Mary was frankly rude to my wife just prior to the closing. The situation became so ridiculous, with less than optimal response from our broker, that I communicated with the selling broker as the transaction moved to conclusion. He was always readily available and took it upon himself to assist as needed. The purchase was completed recently and we have not had any communication from Campion and Company at the time of or following the closing.

Jennifer disappointed us. She was dishonest and greedy. Working with her caused us a huge amount of…read morestress and aggravation. Though she showed initiative in selling our condo, her primary motivation was to maximize her own profits, not her client's. We deserved better in an agent. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend her. We hired her to sell our condo in Charlestown. We wanted to renovate the kitchen and bathroom before we listed it. For this part, she did really help us. She helped us pick out tile, countertop, and paint colors. She went with us to a few stores and spent some time with us. This is where the good parts end. Once she listed our condo, all went downhill. First off, in our agreement, she wrote that she would share "up to 2.5%" of the commission with the buying agent. For the listing itself, she offered the buyers agent only 2.0% and hoped we wouldn't notice. She wrote "up to 2.5%" in the document so that legally she could list it for whatever she wanted and misleed us. This may have cost us a lot. Buyers agents do not want to show their clients 2% listings because it cuts into their margins. I only found this out after we accepted an offer and another agent told us that they don't like working with Jennifer because all of her properties get listed as 2%. When we confronted her, she would deflect or not respond at all. She would not tell us why she listed our condo at 2% without telling us. Worse even, she did not disclose to us that she was serving as a dual agent, representing the buyer as well as us, the seller. Again, she found a legal loophole saying that since she told the buyer that she was our agent, she didn't have to tell us that they were unrepresented and therefore she would get all 5% of the commission. She showed our condo prior to our first open house and presented an offer to us with a very tight deadline of 3 pm the same day, giving us only 2 hours to decide. If we accepted, we would cancel the open house. She told us it's a good offer and if we don't accept, it is possible we may not get an offer on the first two weeks which would stigmatize the property and leave us selling at a steep discount. What she conveniently left out was that she also represented the buyers. She specifically did not tell us that they were unrepresented, despite the fact that she was talking to them for 3 days. Usually the first question an agent asks a potential buyer is "who is your agent." She claimed she didn't know they were unrepresented until 3 days later when she met them in person. It was only after we accepted the offer, when I asked her who their buying agent was. She wouldn't answer at first. I pressed her again. And she told us they didn't have one and she wrote up the offer. We are left wondering if she specifically pressured us because this deal was good for her, doubling her profits or whether she really acted in our best interest. She could have set a time when offers are due after the open house so that we had a chance to review all offers. She never gave us the option. Also, she promised in our initial agreement, that she would share a detailed marketing plan with us. We saw no evidence of marketing whatsoever. When we asked about it, her response was "you just need to let me do my job." After we accepted an offer on our condo, where she was dealing with us and our buyer, things went downhill. She dodged all our calls and pretended to be busy all day every day when she did respond and would hang up abruptly. If we were lucky to get her on the phone, she would talk at us and filibuster - telling us how she negotiated a great deal for us, that it's her right to serve both of us. At times, she became hostile and condescending. She'd ask us why it matters to us? It matters because it's a massive conflict of interest. There were other things that went downhill from there, but the bottom line is real estate transactions are expensive and stressful. The primary job of an agent is to represent their client's best interest NOT their own, and to reduce stress NOT aggravate it. Transparency is the number one ethical obligation. Jennifer was not transparent nor ethical. She told us, to our face, that she would not act as a dual agent. She wrote she'd provide "up to 2.5% split with the buyers agent." She ended up lying about both through legal loopholes. Even worse, when we brought these issues up, she turned hostile and would avoid talking to us. The entire transaction was extremely stressful and caused stress in our personal lives.

Jennifer not only helped me purchase my first home in 2012 ... she helped me sell the same property…read morefive years later. She was incredibly patient and supportive during my initial search...a first time home buyer can be very tentative. She worked with me to find just the right place and then helped bring the sale across the finish line acting as my realtor and lawyer. She worked diligently to help resolve an outstanding issue with the deed. I can truly say the sale would not have happened without her. Fast forward five years later, she helped me make an incredible profit which enabled my husband and I to move West and start our new lives together. Jennifer is professional, incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and a pure joy to work with. I would highly recommend and strongly encourage any home buyer or seller to work with Jennifer Schneider.

Stop searching... THIS IS THE REALTY GROUP TO USE!!!! What…read morea WONDERFUL and STRESSLESS experience my wife and I had with Michael (Merullo), Aaron Peoples & Irene Bremis from the IBREMIS Team. We were 1st time home buyers and Bremis Realty was recommended by our bank... "Thank You" Leader Bank (who are also fantastic btw)! Being new to the waters of the realty market, one can get quite overwhelmed with open houses, home listers, agents, mortgage brokers and the thousand questions you'll have when looking for your home. Of course, this is expected, but when you have a team of professionals working for YOU the stress seems to diminish and the unfamiliar territory seems less perplexing. I mentioned "team" because that is exactly what they are. They work in concert with each other so effortlessly, constantly getting answers from one another while keeping you involved. In fact, Michael was ALWAYS available to us... Even outside of the conventional working timetable, often answering our crazy questions via texts/ email and any other platform one tends to use when communicating... In getting to know Michael we felt like more of a friend rather than a customer and that's a testament again to the Bremis Group. It felt great going into open houses with Michael because you have confidence in knowing you have an experienced and caring realtor who is focused on your needs and concerns and not just the sale! Then of course there is the bonus of getting to spend time with him as well. Once you meet him you'll love him. He was never overbearing or critical of our choices but was quick with sage counsel when solicited. When we found our home Michael and the Bremis team eased us through each step from offer to close with remarkable tact and a copious amount of positivity. Michael was exceptional in quelling our uneasiness during the bid offer (BTW - Michael got the seller to accept our initial offer price- and in this market, too). The jubilance my wife and I felt was matched directly by Michael's sheer joy of us getting our dream home. This just proves how passionate and caring he is along with the whole Bremis team. A thousand "THANK YOU'S!" to the BREMIS team... In conclusion, all I can say is do yourself a huge favor and use Bremis Realty!!! Buying or Selling a house is stressful enough so why not make the journey much more enjoyable by going with in mine and my wife's opinion the "BEST IN THE BUSINESS!"

I have been working with Jennifer Taves for many years on a property I owned in Charlestown.  She…read morehas rented the three apartments at various times always bringing in high quality renters.  She did everything so that I didn't have to.  Her background checks were thorough and she handled all photography and showings.  I never had an issue with any tenant she brought in. When it came time to sell the house, Jennifer calculated the best time to put it on the market, and did deep research into what someone would be willing to pay knowing that the house needed to be renovated. She then set the asking price. She marketed the property beautifully with gorgeous photos, marketing documents and set up a website for this particular house. We put the house up for sale on a Tuesday, and we had a very good offer the next morning which we accepted. Jennifer was right on with the asking price and brought us the perfect buyer - cash, no contingencies. I was thrilled with how Jennifer handled everything. Jennifer is very professional, experienced, goes beyond what a realtor is expected to do, and is a lovely person. I would use her again.

As a first time homebuyer, Jennifer went above and beyond to help educate and ensure that I fully understood the process.

Her work ethic is second to none. There were multiple times where I was ready to make a move and Jennifer always insisted that I sleep on it. 5 stars easy!

A sudden divorce in my senior years had made living alone in a house with property in a semi-rural location too difficult for me to manage, so I made the decision to sell. Although 3rd on the 5 agent to vet list I was sent, I decided to interview Jill first based on my referrer's comment that I would like her. Wow, what an understatement! During my talk with Jill, it became quickly clear to me that here was a calm, straightforward, down-to-earth (my best compliment) , intelligent, thoughtful and very empathetic person, professional without attitude, knowledgeable and obviously very experienced yet with a fully hand-in-hand cooperative idea of the seller/seller's agent relationship. I hired her on the spot. Although I had had experience selling a relative's house prior, Jill walked me thru a much more involved and emotionally wrought several months with patience at my many texts, questions, and calls and with unsurpassed availability. She maintained a positive attitude throughout (this is simply who she is) and an exact knowledge of what I needed to do and, maybe more important, what I didn't need to do to get the house best fit for the sale I wanted. While she lived some distance from my home, she did the research necessary for my area, was accurate in her pricing while tolerating and respecting certain conditions I had set price-wise in order to be willing to sell this season, and she worked very hard and achieved my goals in the sales negotiations. Jill had waited for the ideal time to list and the house sold in 5 days. Jill is just a terrific agent, and a genuinely honest and kind person. I can't compliment her work on my sale enough, and her husband/agent Peter's assistance and support in my house prep was icing on the cake! Best possible experience and outcome during a difficult time in my life. Very grateful. Best, most professional realty service. Highest recommendation.

My wife and I were first time homebuyers and bought our first home during the pandemic. I had emailed her asking for info about her approach and to get her insights on the current market.  She replied and without being pushy or forceful, answered my numerous questions in great detail.  She got us set up to get the MLS emails and we expressed interest in a house.  We were unable to tour it so what did Adriana do?  She traveled to the house herself and took a 20 minute video to give us an inch by inch detailed look at the property.  She did this for clients she had never worked with before and had never met before.  This jumped out at us as a true sign of an incomparable work ethic. "If she does something like this for a couple she doesn't even know, imagine what she'd do for us after working with us" was a thought my wife and I both had. Qualities one seeks in a realtor are communicative, supportive, friendly, strong, personable, knowledgeable and diligent.  Adriana has all of those traits in spades but she also possesses the rarest, most important trait of all...honesty.  Anyone working with a realtor needs someone who will be brutally honest and tell you the good and the bad, whether you want to hear it or not.  Adriana does this expertly well and, if something is bad, she also comes to the table with suggestions on how to navigate any issues. If we could give her more than 5 stars we would.  Our family is expanding and we are actually looking for our next home and, of course, are working with Adriana to find it. The prospect of buying, selling, moving and having a first child in an ongoing pandemic is daunting, but we know we are in excellent hands with Adriana and she has been instrumental in making so many of our family's dreams come true. She also has access to a massive network of professionals that are now our network and has allowed us to navigate homeownership with ease. She is clearly so very valued and respected by all of those she works with and interacts with. We have also personally referred several friends to her and they have been equally as pleased with her work as we have.  Adriana is the epitome of an expert realtor, professional and person and we cannot recommend her enough!
