My husband and I spent months trying to find a home that fit our criteria in what felt like the worst possible home-buying environment. Stacey worked with us quite literally every day, helped us find homes that would work for us, came to every open house and showing, and used her honesty and experience to assist us in finding realistic options. She also was constantly open to my (unending) questions, and helped to explain everything to me so I could understand the process we were going through. We're now living in our home after so much work, thanks to Stacey. My husband and I absolutely can't recommend working with her enough to help you find and secure the perfect home for you!

Stacey's professionalism mixed with her wit and team spirit made the home buying process fun, exciting and social.

Even after we signed the P&S, Stacey has been available for advice, cheerleading and tying up loose ends. We highly recommend her!

IN MARINA WE TRUST!…read more Go with THE BEST and FORGET the REST! Talk about above and beyond? Realtors often recommend improvements to boost your return, but then leave it to you to make it happen. If you only had the time, right! Marina Masciarelli Tramontozzi (now THAT's ITALIAN, eh!) was the only realtor to bring in a dedicated, competent, turnkey contractor that works on Marina's schedule, for the price promised and does all the "right" work needed for the elusive Marina "WOW" factor that really sells. She transitioned a "lived in 45 years, needs a lot of work" home into a turnkey 32% price increase yielding an added $100,000 in profit in 30 days! All I had to do was Trust in Marina! Simply THE BEST! Trust in Marina...you'll be impressed!

She was very proactive, preparing us for each stage of the process ahead of time.

I listed my mom's house with Raveis Realty. Since I live in California and the house is in…read moreMassachusetts, I explained that I needed them tell me what needed to be done. I also said I was willing to put money into the house before simply dropping the price. The services included listing and showing the house to prospective buyers. The first agent I used, Kathy Cuoco, told me everything was great and that the house was ready to go. After a few weeks of little to no activity, I asked someone else to check in. They told me the grass was very high and that the house looked abandoned. When I contacted Raveis, I was told it was a tough market and to drop my price. After a couple months of basically nothing, I asked to change agents so my listing was (kinda, sorta) transferred to Kathy Knox. She began by saying that I should drop my price because it was an awful market and that she didn't expect it to improve for at least 2 years. (I can look up the Case-Shiller Housing Index easily enough, and it didn't support her assertion.) Meanwhile, I traveled to Massachusetts and saw that the place needed work. I can't guess why they didn't tell me, unless they were used to selling abandoned properties and mine looked good by comparison. So I hired several tradespeople to make repairs and updates. When the house went back on the market, I got some interest but I never felt like the Raveis team was working on my behalf. They were just going through the motions. The worst point came when they had an open house and got no traffic. I was told by a friend that they didn't even put signs out. When I asked why not, they said they'd advertised the open house on Craig's List. Eventually, the 6-month listing contract expired and I re-listed with Keller-Williams out of Concord. Talk about a night-and-day difference. The agent I used, Deb Nicholls, was so much more professional and helpful. She took charge and did what a real estate agent is supposed to do. I soon got an offer and sold the house. Kathy Knox is still sending me email updates on my listing even though the house is sold and despite my repeated requests for her to stop. They honestly seem utterly clueless.

As first time home-buyers, my wife and I knew we would have a wide array of decisions to make…read morethroughout the process. The easiest of these decisions for us was choosing to work with Denise Garzone as our Realtor. Immediately upon meeting her, we knew she truly wanted to help us find the right home, at the right price. We found ourselves at ease with Denise, and were able to trust that she was looking to partner with us through the process. Denise masterfully balances the drive required to complete a transaction in the competitive environment of suburban Boston real estate, with the grace and patience needed to ensure we were comfortable with each step of the process. She never made us feel pressured or rushed, and clearly explained the pros and cons of each choice we made. Denise understood how difficult it was for us to take in all the information about not only the houses available, but also the lifestyle change of moving from the city to the suburbs. She tirelessly researched the properties we were interested in, even going as far as pulling building permits from the town offices, allowing us to make the most informed offer on a house. The negotiations for what became our new house carried through the snow storms of February 2015. For those who lived through this season in Boston's history, it proved to be very difficult time for even the heartiest New Englanders. Not even continuous blizzards could phase Denise. Her commitment to us yielded the exact house we wanted for the lower end of our budget. Denise's commitment to us and our search for our first home never wavered, and for that we will be eternally grateful. We strongly commend her to anyone looking to purchase a home, and promise you will not be disappointed.

She had been referred to me by one of my best friends, and she was wonderful from the very first phone call. I had been looking at homes on the South Shore and found one I wanted to see. I called her on a Saturday, and by Monday, we were viewing that home. I looked at a few homes with her until I found the one I decided to purchase. My home-buying process with Rose was flawless. She had a ton of resources (attorneys, home inspectors, insurance agents) at the ready, so my process was easy and quick. I felt she gave me good advice on what to offer, and the offer was accepted. Selling my Arlington home in the middle of a snowy winter was a concern for me, but Rose made it painless. We had 64 parties come through during the open house weekend and multiple offers right afterwards. Again, she had several resources available to assist me, from a fire alarm company to packers and movers. I should also note that she has excellent relationships with other brokers and conducts herself in a professional, calm, and friendly manner. She has a lot of experience and has a great sense for how the home-selling/purchasing experience should be managed. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great agent on the South Shore or in Middlesex County.
