He communicated clearly and effectively with both me and every tenant throughout the entire process. I originally worked with John back in 2017 when he helped me purchase the condo, so it felt only right to have him handle the sale. His deep knowledge of the building, its history, and the local area was a huge advantage. I highly recommend John... you're in great hands with him. It was truly a pleasure and an honor working with him again

John is the best realtor I've ever worked with. This man truly eats, sleeps, and breathes real…read moreestate. I've worked with him twice now, both as a buyer and a seller,  and I'm about to work with him for a third time. I can't think of a better endorsement than choosing to go back to the same realtor again and again. Whether buying or selling, John made the process as smooth and stress-free as it could possibly be. Real estate transactions can be overwhelming, but he has a way of making you feel informed, in control, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. The closest comparison I can think of is a doctor with an incredible bedside manner; not only are you getting someone who deeply knows their craft, but someone who genuinely cares about making the experience as easy as possible for you. 1. Real Estate Expertise You can tell almost immediately that John knows his stuff. From comps and pricing strategy to negotiations and local market expertise, he is knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. He brings both confidence and strategy to the table, and you always feel like you're in capable hands. 2. Communication & Responsiveness John is incredibly responsive and easy to reach, often answering calls even when I contacted him unexpectedly. He consistently made me feel like I was his top priority, even though my properties may have been on the lower end of the range he typically works with. He patiently walks you through every step, is honest about both the positives and negatives, and makes sure you fully understand everything before moving forward. 3. Client-First Mentality It was obvious to me from the beginning that John has very high ethical standards. He genuinely wants what is best for his clients and never pressures you into buying or selling something that isn't right for you just to close a deal. He is truly an advocate throughout the entire process. One example that stands out: the week I was ready to list my condo, the unit flooded and the insurance process delayed everything by a couple of months. John remained calm, patient, and level-headed the entire time, which helped keep me from panicking. Everything moved on my timeline, and I never once felt pressured. He also consistently goes above and beyond in ways most realtors wouldn't. On the morning listing photos were being taken, I handed him a bag of light switch covers in a panic -- and he calmly installed them throughout the unit without hesitation. When situations like that came up, his response was always: "I'm a realtor -- that's my job." 4. Calm Under Pressure Nothing seems to faze John. He stays calm, objective, and solutions-oriented no matter what is happening, and that energy absolutely carries over to his clients. Having someone like that in your corner during a stressful process makes all the difference. Bottom line: I will never work with another realtor.

His communication was top notch, he gives you the attention when you need it for your questions and as much as I felt I was bothering him too much, he never made me feel like I was.

Being first time home buyers we had a lot of questions. James answered all of them in a timely manner and really made us feel like we were a priority. When we found our dream home and put in an offer there were 10 other offers on the table. We were not the highest in terms of money but thanks to James' outreach, our offer was selected. I truly believe that he is the sole reason we got this home over the other offers. I will be recommending James Streff to all of my friends and family who are looking to buy a home. We had the best experience and we are completely satisfied.

We worked with Michael for over a year to find our house. While I had purchased another condo…read morebefore, this was the first house my husband and I bought together. Since this would be the house that we started a family in, we took our time and searched high and low for the perfect place. Michael was very patient with us and worked very hard to do last minute showings and be available when we needed him. While most of the time we would identify the houses from searching that we'd like to see, he also would periodically send us suggestions based on what he knew we were looking for. We put offers in on 3 houses, the final one being the house we purchased. Each time he prepared a thorough analysis of the area to help guide us in what we was a fair offer. Michael is a very thorough agent and has now become a friend. He works very hard for his clients. If you need to buy a house, call him. You won't be disappointed!

Chris helped our family navigate both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home, and we could not have asked for a better real estate professional to guide us through such an important transition. Chris brings an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to the table, but what impressed us most was the class, professionalism, and integrity he demonstrated throughout the entire process. He was always responsive, patient, honest, and several steps ahead, making sure we understood our options and felt confident in every decision. There are inevitably stressful moments when buying and selling a home, but Chris has a way of bringing calm and perspective to the process. We always felt that he genuinely had our family's best interests in mind and that we had someone in our corner who knew exactly how to handle whatever came our way. We are extremely grateful to Chris and his entire team for everything they did for our family. I would recommend Chris without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly first-class real estate professional. Thank you again, Chris, for helping our family through this exciting chapter!

He is extremely professional and hard working. He is an excellent communicator and responds quickly. He knows what he's doing and he always gets the job done. I was in a situation where the sellers had already accepted an offer from another buyer on the home I wanted. Chris advised that I still submit an offer, and also write the sellers a letter with a personal story. It did the trick! The sellers ended up backing out of their first offer and accepting my offer instead. Thanks to him I now live in a home I love that means so much to me. I can't recommend Chris highly enough.

I have been working with Mark for 12 years and have bought and sold multiple properties with him…read more He is an absolutely fantastic real estate agent to work with, 100% recommended. What impresses me most about Mark is that he puts his client's interest above his own. As a buyer, he helps you negotiate the price down even though that's less money in his pocket. As a seller he helps you walk away from deals that are not in your best interest, even though it means a lot more work for him. In my most recent sale with Mark, I lived 6 hours away so it was difficult for me to do everything that needed to be done with the property to be ready. Mark was instrumental in working with contractors, working with tenants, showing the building, communicating with me, and generally working his butt off to get the deal done. Amazing. And if that's not enough, Mark has a tremendous team behind him. He has great people that he works with like contractors, lawyers, mortgage brokers, and property inspectors, that are instrumental to the process. If you choose to work with Mark, I'm confident that you'll be happy that you did.

He is the consummate professional: responsible, reasonable, knowledgeable, and is an excellent advocate for his clients. He knows the North Shore better than anyone. He's also very reasonable on fees. He represented me in two lease deals. I found the process to be easy and he helped shape the tenant paperwork and get us into a place quickly (a big help when we had young kids!). He also worked on negotiations to save us hundreds of dollars a month. He's a stand up guy and he really gets to know what is important for clients. He also represented us on the sell side of a condo in the city during a challenging real estate market. He got the darn thing sold at a good price and faster than we expected. On our buy side deal, he helped us find local contractors and vendors to conduct repairs for our new home and otherwise made the closing process very easy. The technology his firm uses is outstanding and it really helps the deal come together quickly. Yes, brokers have to charge a fee but with Alan he earned it and more. He was available at all hours every day and it was impressive work ethic. Alan is a trusted agent and I will NOT do another deal anywhere without him. I'd give him six stars but Yelp only allows 5.
