She answered all of our questions quickly and was always reachable by phone, text, or email. She was even available while traveling internationally on vacation, which says a lot about her dedication to her clients. Hillary is a force. She knows how to close a deal, and when it came time to make our offer, she helped us put together a strong one and lock it down. Thanks to her, we got the home of our dreams. If you want an agent who will go above and beyond and get results, Hillary is the one to call!

from Michael Quincy, Mass / NYC…read more If you are looking to list your home and property on the market, look no further than Hillary Birch. That is to say if you want a dedicated, intelligent, highly experienced broker with deep integrity and a super kind heart. I first met Hillary about 7 years ago, just a month after my mom had passed. My mom had left me her two family home in the Wollaston section of Quincy. I live in NYC, and everyone & anyone around me at the time strongly advised that I sell the house. When I met with Hillary during this time period, I had expected her to advise the same. From my previous experience in the real estate business, I'm aware that a sale is a lucrative and desire commodity; certainly over the rental market. Much to my surprise, Hillary suggested that I keep the property as an investment, and rent out the two units. I intuitively trusted her expertise; and most importantly, her humanity (not necessarily a common trait in business). I took her advice, and in just over six years, my house DOUBLED in value. When I was recently ready to sell, Hillary was (& is) the only agent in the business that I would consider working with. Unsurprisingly, Hillary brokered an accepted offer in less than two weeks, for TOP market value; and we closed in less than one month. Due primarily to Hillary's diligence, determination to make a deal advantageous for both parties, and her warm & gracious style.; the entire deal went smoothly from the first day to the closing. My only regret is that I don't own a another home in Boston, just for the fun and ease of working with Hillary all over again-:) Additionally, ALL of folks that Hillary collaborates with to make a selling a home successful transaction (including lawyers, contractors, etc) are reliable, dependable, and honest. Deciding when or if to put a home on the market can be a stressful proposition. However, if you're lucky enough to have Hillary Birch selling your property, you will be in the very best of hands. (And check out her wonderfully creative & upbeat property ads on Instagram!!)

Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. 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!

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!

I was…read moreexpecting the home buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Melanie was there through all of it, and I closed on my first home this week. She's responsive to questions, knowledgeable (and happy to share that knowledge), and reliable. Beyond that, she was easy to talk to, kind, and fun to be around. It can be difficult to place your trust in someone with a big milestone like purchasing a home. Melanie is definitely someone you can trust to make the process easier and more transparent.

*this review is for Valerie Foster Filiberto*…read more As a first-time homebuyer, I came to Val with an ambitious goal: find and close on a condo within two months to avoid renewing my lease. It was a tall order, but Val and I got to work immediately, and she delivered! We searched listings together, and Val connected me with properties and opportunities I wouldn't have found on my own ~ she has access to a private network of properties not yet listed on MLS that only the elite top 10% of sellers are invited into, super cool! She guided me through every step, from tours and offers to inspections, negotiations, and closing. What stood out most was how strongly she advocated for me. She never pressured me beyond my budget, welcomed every question, and made sure my concerns were addressed. Val was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly responsive--often calling me back immediately and sending follow-up emails before we even finished our conversation. My attorney and father were also impressed by her communication and professionalism. Val made an intimidating process feel manageable and protected my interests throughout. We successfully closed within my timeline (even earlier!), and on closing day, she surprised me with cookies and a beautiful jar--the sweetest first gift for my new home :) I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to purchase a home. she truly cares about her clients and does honest business with all involved parties. I'm so grateful she was recommended to me! thank you so much for everything Val!!!

He was very attentive, personable, and took the time to carefully listen to what I needed, and then suggested a few units - he was right on. It was everything I wanted.

I had reached out a bit early and as soon as units became available, he took the initiative to follow up with me to schedule a time. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend him if you're looking for your next home! You want someone who cares, is knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind.

She went above and beyond for us and since we first time home buyers with a LOT of conditionals, so we put her to work. Every house she showed us was considerate of our checklist, but she also helped us get out of our comfort zone on expanding our preferences. I pretty much considered her a friend at the end of this, but with obvious boundaries. Realtors end up knowing a lot about you in the end and it was really reassuing that I felt comfortable with her! Besides just Jamie, the firm itself has great third party recommendations for every step of the way. We used everyone that they recommended and we had a really smooth process. Highly recommend! We also had friends who used her as well, at least 2, and they were beyond happy.

Can I give her 6 stars?…read more We had an exceptional experience working with our real estate agent. From start to finish, Elizabeth went above and beyond the call of duty and consistently demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, warmth and attention to detail. Elizabeth stood out from other real estate agents after our initial meeting. She truly took the time to understand our needs, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made herself available when we needed guidance or had questions. Elizabeth displayed a commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us was evident in everything she did. What impressed us most was how personally invested Elizabeth was in our success as a buyer and seller. She went the extra mile at every step and made a stressful process feel manageable. We have an infant, and her level of attention to finding us a suitable home for our family was clear. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, expertise, and dedication. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, and truly committed real estate agent!

Elizabeth helped us buy a home from across the country under often difficult circumstances…read more What really stood out was how she approached neighborhoods/towns. Instead of just lining up a few properties in our price range, Elizabeth showed us a wide range of options across different areas. She explained what each neighborhood felt like. She pointed out where things were, how traffic moved, what the vibe was, etc. She talked about schools, commute times, which neighborhoods were quieter. She answered every question and concern patiently and thoroughly. She got what we cared about. She listened early on when we talked about what we needed, and then she remembered it. That meant the homes she showed us weren't random. They fit what we were actually looking for. And when things got messy during closing (they always do), Elizabeth sorted it out. She kept us in the loop even when we were across the country and couldn't do anything ourselves. You can tell she wants her clients to have good outcomes and be happy, not just close deals. Buying from out of state is hard. Elizabeth made it manageable and we really appreciate it.
