Pearl was with us every step of the way, and is a deep fountain of knowledge for every aspect of the home buying process. She was the hub of a wheel of experts she recommended based on her experience, including a real estate attorney, home inspector, mortgage provider, several contractors of different specialties that our home needed, and other agents in the areas in which we were looking. She helped us move quickly, and intelligently through our journey as first-time homebuyers. If Yelp allowed more than 5 stars, Pearl would get them all.

His expertise and support not only helped us make good decisions, but feel confident in our choices - which really matters when you're making the largest financial decision of your life (so far). We really appreciated Dave's attention to detail, sense of humor, and clear dedication to our best interests. 4 Buyers Real Estate's policies reflect the ethical stance that Dave shared with us in his initial pitch. Agents are paid based on the listing price or the sale price - whichever is less. This means that agents aren't incentivized to push the sale price higher to improve their fee. We also agreed up front that we would not waive the inspection in our offers. This meant that we had to do a few pre-inspections in competitive situations, but they were worth the price we paid for the peace of mind. Go through the details when you talk to 4 Buyer's Real Estate. You'll see that they've set up their company to encourage ethical behavior and to support their clients best interests - which means that you can know and feel like you have an ally as you buy your new home. If we ever need to buy another property, we're calling Dave again!

Most notably, the companies…read morepresident (our broker) Carmela Laurella along with two of her teamates that were of great help, Travis and Vito. It was August first this past summer when my wife and I decided we'd had enough of the sleepy suburbs and were ready to reconnect with the city we loved and spent most of our free time. We listed our home of 27 years and bingo, it sold in one day. Panic stricken, not prepared for such a quick sale, I contacted Carmela (I met her a year prior at an open house, liked her style and did some research on her and her company) and asked if we could meet as soon as possible. Long story short, she recommended that we look into short term lease options while we took our time finding our dream home. We followed her advice and wound up renting at Park Lane in the Seaport District-great place that deserves two thumbs up- on a short term three month lease that could have been extended if needed. We didn't need to.... Carmela sat my wife and I down at our initial meeting and listened as we described to her our 'must have' list in our soon to be dream home. Fast forward, we waited until after Labor Day to start our search as we needed time to pack up the old house and move into Park Lane....Carmela wasted no time finding four properties that met our requirements...........we bought the first home we were shown. We new it was to be as soon as we walked into the front door. She nailed it! Amazing! I thought we'd be looking for months as our criteria was not going to be an easy task for her to accomplish. The story continues.....I asked if she could recommend a mortgage broker..she said "I've got the best...Paul Sapienza of Drew Mortgage Associates"....he was dynamite! I also asked her if she could recommend a real estate attorney...she did, John Iacoi....a complete professional that made the headaches of real estate passing simplistic for both my wife and I that are just way too busy to be tied down to legal jargon. ***Do I add her recommended designer, painter and contractor? YOU BET!!! 5 star businesses have customer satisfaction down to a science, Carmela and her team get it and most importantly follow through....I could not have been more satisfied. My email that I sent her and her associates as we finished passing the papers read as follows: "Your high level of professionalism throughout this entire process was greatly appreciated. Together, you're quite a team!" Take my word, if you're looking for a new home along Boston's Waterfront, in my opinion, the only choice is Carmela's CL Waterfront Properties.

Top notch experience from the start! We had been searching for real estate in the area. One day…read morewhile walking by CL Waterfront Properties, a listing on the window peaked our interest. I went home and submitted an inquiry on their website. It was a Sunday night, so I wasn't expecting a response until at least Monday morning. To my delight, Carmela responded almost immediately and put us in touch with Chris Smith on the team. Chris scheduled an appointment with us to see our property of interest immediately. From there, we worked with Chris to see more properties in the North End. Chris was always very responsive and quick to set up appointments on our behalf. He was always very knowledgeable on all of the properties we viewed (and we ask a LOT of questions)! Although I was regularly searching Redfin and receiving daily alerts, Chris was a powerful 'secret weapon' proactively emailing us properties that fit our criteria. This extra research on our behalf was a real bonus, as the listings/photos don't always tell the full story. Searching for real estate in Boston can be a frustrating process and finding a responsive broker can be challenging (especially in this market!). I would highly recommend Chris Smith and the team at CL Waterfront. They truly cater to the needs of their prospects and their responsiveness always impressed us.

We first met Doug Morrow through a couple of our neighbors about 10 years ago, and when we decided…read moreto sell our house in Lynn, we remembered Doug primarily as being relaxed and easy to talk to, a really nice person. Our memories of his profession came only secondary. Although our primary memories are certainly accurate, it's been through our secondary memories that we benefited greatly through the sale of our house in Lynn. We decided on Doug Morrow for a number of reasons, and now through our fortunate firsthand experience, we recommend Doug Morrow unreservedly as a superb real estate professional! First and foremost, Doug is very familiar with real estate laws and their nuances. He can and did interact as a real estate agent very well and very easily with both the sellers' attorney and buyer's attorney in the sale of our house particularly with regard to the documents of the trade, e.g. Purchase and Sales Agreements, Certificates of Habitation, etc. Almost as important, Doug knows his way around Lynn City Hall - a nearly impenetrable edifice, which is mostly beyond comprehension of the average citizen and often stands in the way of the average citizen (if not actively standing against the average citizen). Doug navigated city hall and obtained certain documents as well as very particular information with regard to the sale in a most skillful manner, a skill developed after many, many successful years in the real estate profession. Thankfully, Doug facilitated our path through that part of the process, and we emerged unscathed! Not only was Doug a perfect liaison between sellers' attorney and buyer's attorney, he is simply a good liaison. As our exclusive sellers' agent, Doug represented our (sellers') interests masterfully, yet he maintained a smooth working relationship with the buyer, so that the buyer never found himself in an adversarial position with us. By way of a personal opinion, this was due in large part to Doug's easy-going, relaxed personality. He gets along well with all types of people. With regard to the selling strategy, Doug placed us onto an improvement plan that ultimately added tens of thousands of dollars to our sale price. In short, my wife and I are now very handy with spackle and paint -- the colors brilliantly chosen to fit the rooms, and we observed small but vitally important open house "no-no's." There should be no medicines of any kind in the bathroom medicine cabinets. Remove all personal items of importance from view, e.g. jewelry, important documents, etc. No toilet seats should be open. No food in the refrigerator beyond a (very) few symbolic items, and those should be fresh. Although Doug had originally intended a "360 video" taping of the house, the video team's schedule was not able to accommodate our open house date. Instead, Doug invited a successful Boston photography studio professional on short notice to shoot the house. Her photographs were almost works of art. They certainly portrayed our house in its very best possible light, and her photo shoot generated such a buzz on Redfin.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, et al that the general prediction was the house would sell within 9 days - indeed it did! The house is a three-story single-family structure. Doug was accompanied by two associates for the open house. Each of the three monitored a floor to be immediately available for questions and to provide a certain level of security for that particular floor. Without a doubt, the integrity of our house was in good hands throughout the showing. From beginning to end, Doug Morrow conducted himself as a dedicated, knowledgeable - and caring - professional. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone better in the field. Doug Morrow has our sincere and enthusiastic endorsement. Call him for a chat and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

My wife and I could not be happier with our experience with Doug! We were first time homebuyers, so…read morewe had a lot of questions. Doug guided us through the process with good humor, tons of expertise and excellent responsiveness to our many calls and emails. Although I am sure that he has many clients, he never made us feel like we were just a number because he was always on top of our case, moving things along, and communicating effectively with our mortgage people and, once we had made an offer, the sellers' agent. When we weren't sure what to do or how to proceed, it was very reassuring to know that Doug has many, many years of experience in real estate on the North Shore. He was able to contextualize some of the issues we were looking at (anywhere from deciding on a property and negotiation of the offer to the results from the inspection and the appraisal) within his broad experience, which made us feel better as first-timers who were not really aware of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Doug to anyone looking to buy a house, but first time homebuyers should know that you could not find a better guide through the sometimes stressful and confusing process!

I am convinced that we got top dollar for our house because of the timing and price we put it out at. Steve held an open house on both Saturday and Sunday and we had 2 offers over asking by Sunday night. The sale of our home was quick and easy. As for using them as a buying agent, they constantly offered properties that contained all of our "must haves". Besides that, they were able to get us into houses that were not even on the market yet. When we finally found our dream house, we one of 12 offers on the house. Based on their expertise, our offer was competitive and complete. The selling agent told me that we were the only offer to come in with all paperwork filled out completely and correctly. Because of Steve and Tiff's attention to detail, we got the house we wanted at a very fair price. I can't recommend them enough. They get back to you very quickly, they are very honest and most importantly, know what they are doing.

In those previous transactions I felt like I was working for my agent, instead of my agent working for me. I walked away from both of those transactions with a bad taste in my mouth about RE agents and a general overall feeling of sleaziness about the whole industry. In my most recent home purchase Sharon Seabury changed my perception of the RE industry completely. Well at least the small part of it that she occupies. The woman was a true professional and couldn't have worked harder on my purchase. Her previous professional experience both in the business & technology sectors is another great example of what makes her standout from the RE agent crowd. She just doesn't look at the transaction as solely an RE transaction, she looks at it from every angle. My purchase was a bit of an unusual situation and Sharon was "on" night & day seven days a week. She was extremely responsive to my queries and was on top of the mortgage company and the sellers agent from day one to insure everything was being done properly and on time. After selling my last house I swore I would never use an RE agent to sell a house again and would use a sold by owner service. Well if I go to sell my current home and Sharon Seabury is still in the RE business I will give her my house to sell.
