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!

It's hard to describe the gratitude we have for Amanda. I'll start by saying it's an incredibly…read morechallenging market. We sold a property in the city and were home searching before we met Amanda. Which means we had the opportunity to work with other agents along the way. Most were quick to submit an offer on our behalf, yet hesitant to take the time to provide constructive and meaningful feedback/direction. The reason we ended up working with Amanda is because she was everything opposite of that. She truly cared and worked endlessly and tirelessly on our behalf. She never let us settle, remained patient throughout the ups and downs, was an excellent negotiator and provided an outstanding education to us every step of the way. She talked us through understanding the market, when to walk, countless negotiations, home prices and value, contracts, lenders, attorney fine print and even connected us to trusted contractors/gave us tips on how to affordably furnish our new home! Amanda is a savant in the real estate space and we were lucky to have her on our side. We wouldn't have landed in our forever home without her efforts and expertise. Thank you, Amanda!

BAIT AND SWITCH - STAY AWAY I hired Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) for a COMPLETE BATHROOM…read moreRENOVATION. We verbally agreed upon a price and exactly what needed to be done. After starting the job Russell Morris changed the terms that we agreed to. Russell Morris INCORRECTLY installed a shower insert without leveling and replacing the rotting wood. (see pics) After Russell Morris incorrectly installed the shower insert over the rotting wood, and put up some sheetrock, Russel Morris told me that "He is done with the bathroom renovation and wanted payment in full." I have attached pictures of what a Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) considered a complete bathroom. I now have incurred damages as a result of Russell Morris and must now pay another contractor to undo and fix Russell Morris's mistakes. Russell Morris: He showed up a day late, Within 10-minutes of arriving, he yelled out, "Mother Fucker!!" at the top of his lungs. Very unprofessional, Short-tempered, Did not do what we agreed to, Did NOT complete what he agreed to, Changed the prices that we had already agreed to, Charged me 10 extra hours at $85 an hour, Did NOT complete the job, yet asked for full payment, Horrible communication, you'll have no idea when he's coming or going, or coming back, "I" had to vacuum EVERY DAY when he left for the day, Russel Morris made an absolute mess, I have incurred damages by Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) - I now must pay to another contractor to "fix" the mistakes and poor work of Russell Morris. He was mad that "he" did not plan properly and HUNG the phone up on me. I had to FIRE Russell Morris. I wish I had GOOGLE Searched: RUSSELL MORRIS Gloucester, MA aged 49 before I hired him. The pictures attached show the state in which Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) left my bathroom; incomplete. As you can clearly see, Russell Morris did NOT complete the job.

What a complete waste of time. And who ever heard of a handyman who can't repair a broken window or a wooden cabinet (the bathtub I can maybe understand)???
