Finding a real estate agent is easy. Finding an agent that becomes a trusted adviser and confidant is not. Elisabeth Elden and her team at the Attias Group were our lifeline as we navigated simultaneous buying and selling of a home. Elisabeth worked with us for over a year to help us secure our dream home. Throughout the search process she was patient and really took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for. She was also honest about what we would find and what might be a stretch for our budget and needs. One of the most remarkable things about Elisabeth is her honesty. She would say things like, "I thought this house might be a good fit, but I was wrong and I don't think it suits your needs." She wasn't just trying to find ANY home, she worked hard to find OUR home for OUR family. Another remarkable thing about Elisabeth is that she worked seamlessly with other agents and attorneys, all of whom came back to tell us how knowledgeable, professional, and prompt she was. We were comfortable knowing that she was in constant communication with them and that nothing would be left to chance or would fall through the cracks. She's also incredibly knowledgeable about construction and renovation, leading our contractor to remark that she was one of the best real estate agents he'd ever met. This was also helpful when walking through houses as we tried to assess the potential of all the homes we looked at. Finally, she is incredibly diligent and spent hours combing town records to learn the history of our home. She did her homework on every home we looked at and if she didn't know an answer, she would find out and get right back to us. We can say without reservation that Elisabeth and her team come highly recommended! read more

Finding a home can be exciting, nerve racking, and overwhelming. One of the best moves we made in our journey to finding our dream home was hiring Claire Gauthier as our Realtor. She took the time to get to know us on a personal level and worked with our personalities in a productive way by grounding us in our search. Her family has been in this business for a very long time and you can tell because she is a natural. She had a wealth of knowledge for pretty much any question you needed to know. She understood from her own experience the different towns we were interested in and could explain to us the slight differences you would experience in each town. When it came to putting an offer in for our dream home, she held our hand closely all the way through the process, which for us was a savior. She recommended wonderful resources for the closing process. We could not have picked a better inspector or lawyer to join our team if it had not been recommended by her. It felt like we had joined a loving community that truly wanted the best for us and really knew what they were doing! I would recommend her to anybody without hesitation that is looking for a realtor. read more

I first met Elisabeth Elden when she was serving on Concord's Planning Board. I was impressed with her grasp of the issues before the board and her fair and balanced outlook. So, when the time came to sell my mother's Concord home, Elisabeth was the first person I called. I'm glad I did. Elisabeth was right on track in positioning the home for sale, recommending a listing price, identifying the type of buyer to look for, and conducting the final price negotiation. Elisabeth took the time to really understand the particulars of the property and how to best present what it had to offer, showing her depth of knowledge of the many things go into making a house a workable place to live. She helped me find a seller's attorney who was competent, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. Things worked out likewise with the contractors whom Elisabeth suggested for minor repairs and improvements. And her team guided the process smoothly in the final run-up to a successful closing. read more

We were referred to Elisabeth by a realtor friend who covers the Boston metro area. We were looking for our first home, out along the Fitchburg commuter rail line. Elisabeth was wonderful at eliciting and understanding our priorities and preferences, and was an excellent guide to understanding the market and the homebuying process. In the end we found something under our price range and Elisabeth helped us win a competitive bidding process, and got us a several thousand dollar reduction from the seller after the inspection revealed a few small concerns. She is a very competent professional, but more than that, she takes real joy in matching people with the home that's right for them. We would recommend Elisabeth in a heartbeat to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area. read more

I really lucked out when I found Elisabeth. I was working with another realtor who went out of town and left me hanging. Elisabeth is great at staying in touch throughout the process. She is warm-hearted and committed to finding the right house, not just an expensive or convenient house. My budget was at the low end of the market and when I realized where the office was located and the kind of houses the Attias Group frequently works with, I had some concern that I'd be lowest on her priority list, but that wasn't so. She put the same energy and thought into finding me the right house as she would for someone with a budget ten times mine. I worked with others in her office during the process and they were all responsive, welcoming, and capable. I recommend her unreservedly. read more

As first-time home buyers, Elisabeth guided us through the process from start to finish, helping us to navigate multiple-offer situations and steering us away from houses that had issues or weren't the right fit from us. With her knowledge of construction, she was also able to identify issues and potential problems that I think many realtors would overlook. She was easy to contact and always quick to respond whenever we had a question, no matter how silly the question might have seemed to her. My husband and I trust her implicitly, and even feel like we came out of this process with a friend. Her warmth and friendliness went far beyond the typical realtor-buyer relationship. We would recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy a home, be it their first or not! read more

With Elizabeth's, expertise, help and guidance, selling our home was a pleasant and low stress affair. She has an excellent sense of the current residential markets and walked us through her process for pricing and preparing our home for listing. Elizabeth's approach took into consideration the specifics of our house, neighborhood and community that would be of interest to buyers and distinguished its many assets. Her wealth of resources and knowledge of local contractors made it easy for us to prepare. Working with Elizabeth was like having your own private realty firm. Both she and her support team were very attentive, responsive and efficient throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend her to anyone selling their home. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Elisabeth and The Attias Group. We contacted Elisabeth on extremely short notice in the hopes of seeing a house that very same evening. Elisabeth, without hesitation, met us and offered great insight into the home itself, the location, and its history. That house turned out to not be the one for us, so Elisabeth set up a day of showings to help us find the perfect fit. Drawing on her excellent knowledge of the great Boston area, we were able to find the perfect home. Elisabeth is an exceptional negotiator and was able to smoothly navigate all negotiations on our behalf. We couldn't be happier and plan on recommending Elisabeth to all our friends. Thank you Elisabeth and The Attias Group! read more
