Alissa was our realtor, local guide, and overall real estate therapist for the last 6 months. She…read morewas a total delight to work with. She knows the North Shore area SO WELL, and could tell us the pros and cons of every neighborhood we were looking at. She is clearly a local, and enabled us to buy with confidence once we found the right property. Also, Alissa - and her fantastic assistant Amy! - were available day and night. Whenever we had a question or wanted to see a property, Alissa and Amy were immediately on it. Ultimately, our closing process went smoothly, and that was all thanks to Alissa's expert management. I would recommend Alissa to literally anyone and everyone looking North of Boston!

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.

Rich was a great agent as he helped us buy our first house! He helped us navigate the process from…read morestart to finish. 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!

My wife and I hired Kevin to sell our property because it was evident from day 1 that he genuinely…read morecared about his clients and had an unparalleled level of knowledge of the local real estate market.

My girlfriend and I were both first time home buyers and Vincent was able to educate us on best practices while making the whole process pain free. Vincent has great knowledge and passion for the real estate business and will work hard to ensure all your needs are met.

We worked with Peggy in the summer of 2015 to get a cluttered house needing some love and care…read moreready for the market. My house was in a great location (in town Andover), and I thought it looked fine, quirky, with character. But we wanted the house to sell quickly at a good price, and Peggy impressed upon us what we should do to make that happen. She had several key folks she recommended who helped get this work done, and I found some others that did fantastic work, (and I hope Peggy has used as resources since then). Bottom line, we did spend some money to get our house ready, but it sold at a very good price and in only 1 week! I should say we met with 2 other realtors before choosing Peggy, to make sure we were doing our due diligence. One of the groups was fine, the other not so much. But Peggy was in a class by herself. She is professional and ambitious in her business, but a truly genuine and kind person with no pretense about her. I can't recommend Peggy highly enough. I wish I was moving again just so she could help me find a new house to buy!

When many offers came in, she tirelessly negotiated with dozens of different of parties to assure that we got not only an incredible price but very attractive terms. We can't recommend Peggy and her team enough for making our sale a successful and seamless experience.

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!
