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.

She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

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!

Tatyana has great integrity and she is very knowledgeable about the market. Tatyana is zealous and strategic in her representation of her clients. She brings charm and warmth to each transaction that can help to finesse delicate negotiations. She is patient, a good listener and a very hard worker. Update: Tatyana proved herself a very savvy negotiator and skilled real estate agent again. Her deep knowledge of the Brookline and Newton real estate markets, the Coolidge Corner condominium buildings in particular, was of great value as she won well over the asking price for her clients. Great job! Christopher

Brookline continues to be a sellers market where home buying is very competitive. After losing several bids to properties in Brookline, Tatyana found a seller who was selling their own property. She got us in before the property hit the market and the day before the property's first open house. Due to Tatyana's tenaciousness and diligence we were able to secure an acceptance to our offer. If I buy or sell a property, I will use Tatyana again. Tatyana work diligently on helping me find tenants for my investment property.

They charge an $40 application fee per tenant - this is illegal in MA for landlords, but not for real estate agents, so they get away with it. Our agent admitted it's purely just a revenue generator for them - it also doesn't apply to your broker fee. 2. They ask for most of their fees via Venmo, which has to be the sketchiest way of sending any kind of transaction. 3. If you go in expecting to tour a single place, expect the agent to line up a bunch of other showings and pressure you into them. We ended up in an apartment with a dog, despite telling the broker we were looking for no-pet buildings due to a severe pet allergy.

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!

Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Mike made it enjoyable. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, asked thoughtful questions, and offered insights we never would have considered on our own. He was always incredibly responsive, professional, and--most importantly--genuinely kind. His knowledge of the market was impressive, and he helped us navigate everything from competitive offers to inspections to closing, with ease and confidence. Thanks to him, we found a home we absolutely love, and the process was smoother than we ever expected. We can't recommend Mike enough!! Thank you!!

He was highly responsive, always available to answer our questions, and incredibly proactive in addressing any concerns that came up along the way. Mike was extremely patient and helpful during our search for a new house (covering many different towns), offering great insights and advice throughout. Once it came time to negotiate and prepare for the closings, we completely trusted him to get things done. Mike's professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to our best interests truly stand out. It can be hard to find a real estate agent that you trust. We were fortunate to get introduced to Mike through a friend. We would highly recommend him to our family and friends now as well. He will go the extra mile for you!

My wife and I had the good fortune of stumbling upon Collin Bray at an open house for which he was…read morethe listing agent. We were early in our search for a first home and hadn't yet found a real estate agent to work with, but after meeting Collin we knew he was the right match. Straight from the get-go and throughout our entire home-buying adventure, Collin was warm, patient, supportive, informative, responsive, and approachable. He was the best possible guide and advocate we could have hoped for, explaining each step of the process so we'd know what to expect and when, providing well-informed insight when we were preparing to make offers or negotiations, and folding helpful questions into conversations with seller's agents, home inspectors, builders, and HVAC professionals, that we wouldn't have thought to ask. On top of all this, Collin was invaluable when it came to helping us make connections with other professionals we needed. Home insurance agent on short notice? Done. Amazing interior designer? Boom. Sharp-as-a-tack real estate attorney? Wish granted. Collaborating with Collin was such an enjoyable experience; he always had our backs and was ready to skillfully shepherd us through whatever unfolded. I can say with confidence that if Collin had been captain of the Titanic, it would have arrived in New York City ahead of schedule AND unscathed. Luckily for us (unluckily for them), he was born a bit too late for that and chose to navigate real estate deals instead of oceans. We truly cannot say enough positive things about working alongside Collin and are beyond grateful for the big role he played in putting us in our new home!

But the people who work there OMG they are the rudest people ever. Dianne who apparently controls everything is the most dismissive and rude person I have ever talked to.

There was one month I had an issue with paying rent due to some financial reasons and I got a scholarship from my school to help me pay for one months rent. My school required them to fill out a certain form instead of being understanding Dianne was dismissive and rude and made me cry. They either need to find someone else to work there or fire her completely. Otherwise apartment was nice with high ceiling but could be better maintained and cleaner.

Diane, in particular, is one of the worst. She's consistently rude on the phone, dismissive, and completely lacking in professionalism. It's baffling how someone with such poor communication skills is in a role dealing with tenants. Feinberg operates more like slumlords than a property management company--completely out of touch with what respectful tenant relations look like. If you're thinking of renting from them, don't.
