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!

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!

In an…read moreindustry that can often feel fast-paced and sales-driven, Colleen is patient, kind, and never pushy. She prioritizes people over transactions and ensures that her clients feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. During our home-buying journey, there were many frustrating and stressful moments. At times, the process felt overwhelming and discouraging. Through it all, Colleen remained a steady source of positivity and reassurance. She was always reachable when we needed her, no matter the time or circumstance. Her responsiveness and calm demeanor gave us confidence when we needed it most. What impressed us most was her honesty. On more than one occasion, Colleen advised us that a house we were considering was not right for us. Rather than focusing on making a sale, she focused on making sure we made the right decision for our family. That level of integrity is rare and speaks volumes about her values as a businesswoman. Colleen's support went far beyond showing homes and negotiating contracts. She guided us through a difficult process with empathy, professionalism, and genuine care. Because of her, what could have been an overwhelmingly negative experience became one we look back on with gratitude. Colleen Toner represents the very best of what a businesswoman should be: experienced, ethical, compassionate, and deeply committed to the people she serves.
