I was introduced to Jill McTague by my home's former buyer's (only) agent, a friend of Jill's and…read moresomeone I trust completely. A sudden divorce in my senior years had made living alone in a house with property in a semi-rural location too difficult for me to manage, so I made the decision to sell. Although 3rd on the 5 agent to vet list I was sent, I decided to interview Jill first based on my referrer's comment that I would like her. Wow, what an understatement! During my talk with Jill, it became quickly clear to me that here was a calm, straightforward, down-to-earth (my best compliment) , intelligent, thoughtful and very empathetic person, professional without attitude, knowledgeable and obviously very experienced yet with a fully hand-in-hand cooperative idea of the seller/seller's agent relationship. I hired her on the spot. Although I had had experience selling a relative's house prior, Jill walked me thru a much more involved and emotionally wrought several months with patience at my many texts, questions, and calls and with unsurpassed availability. She maintained a positive attitude throughout (this is simply who she is) and an exact knowledge of what I needed to do and, maybe more important, what I didn't need to do to get the house best fit for the sale I wanted. While she lived some distance from my home, she did the research necessary for my area, was accurate in her pricing while tolerating and respecting certain conditions I had set price-wise in order to be willing to sell this season, and she worked very hard and achieved my goals in the sales negotiations. Jill had waited for the ideal time to list and the house sold in 5 days. Jill is just a terrific agent, and a genuinely honest and kind person. I can't compliment her work on my sale enough, and her husband/agent Peter's assistance and support in my house prep was icing on the cake! Best possible experience and outcome during a difficult time in my life. Very grateful. Best, most professional realty service. Highest recommendation.

I rarely do reviews but will for Valerie R McGillivrary of BeanGroup…read more I listed my high-end property with Valerie. In my dealings with Val, I find her to be knowledgeable of the property market, professional in her conduct, but with the appropriate degree of personal touch. At no time did she pressurise me into making a decision in order to close on the property. Although I eventually took over the sale of the property for financial reasons, I kept in touch with Val. Val was not stingy with her time, giving me sound advice based on her wide experience. I think this speaks very highly of her as a person and her professionalism to want to see the sale through althought she no longer had any financial gains from it. I would recommend Valerie McGillivrary highly. Alison Lee Atkinson NH

We needed some hand holding at the beginning and Sylvia really helped us drill down to find where were were looking to buy, what we should be looking out for when it comes to the house itself and home inspections, and how to get creative on offer strategies. Sylvia and her team were there throughout the whole process from finding the perfect home to guiding us though the paperwork to complete the purchase and even greeting us on our our first day in the home. Everyone was so helpful and friendly it really felt like we were working with friends. The professional referrals that Sylvia gave us for reputable mortage lenders, home inspectors, even painters was so helpful to us being in a new area we cannot thank her enough! I've already recommended friends and colleauges to Sylvia for their home buying needs and look forward to working together in the future!

While their team is based in the north shore, Sylvia and her team were extremely flexible - we would send properties outside of her normal area and she would be willing to work with us on a last minute notice. She always found a way to make it work into her schedule. Sylvia and team were incredibly responsive. Last but not least, Sylvia was extremely helpful in helping us create a competitive offer. Even in a competitive market, she helped us land a wonderful home in a short timeframe. We had many positive memories in the house search with Sylvia and team... would highly recommend her if you need a qualified team to help you in your search.

I have been working with Jennifer Taves for many years on a property I owned in Charlestown.  She…read morehas rented the three apartments at various times always bringing in high quality renters.  She did everything so that I didn't have to.  Her background checks were thorough and she handled all photography and showings.  I never had an issue with any tenant she brought in. When it came time to sell the house, Jennifer calculated the best time to put it on the market, and did deep research into what someone would be willing to pay knowing that the house needed to be renovated. She then set the asking price. She marketed the property beautifully with gorgeous photos, marketing documents and set up a website for this particular house. We put the house up for sale on a Tuesday, and we had a very good offer the next morning which we accepted. Jennifer was right on with the asking price and brought us the perfect buyer - cash, no contingencies. I was thrilled with how Jennifer handled everything. Jennifer is very professional, experienced, goes beyond what a realtor is expected to do, and is a lovely person. I would use her again.

As a first time homebuyer, Jennifer went above and beyond to help educate and ensure that I fully understood the process.

Her work ethic is second to none. There were multiple times where I was ready to make a move and Jennifer always insisted that I sleep on it. 5 stars easy!

My wife and I were first time homebuyers and bought our first home during the pandemic. I had emailed her asking for info about her approach and to get her insights on the current market.  She replied and without being pushy or forceful, answered my numerous questions in great detail.  She got us set up to get the MLS emails and we expressed interest in a house.  We were unable to tour it so what did Adriana do?  She traveled to the house herself and took a 20 minute video to give us an inch by inch detailed look at the property.  She did this for clients she had never worked with before and had never met before.  This jumped out at us as a true sign of an incomparable work ethic. "If she does something like this for a couple she doesn't even know, imagine what she'd do for us after working with us" was a thought my wife and I both had. Qualities one seeks in a realtor are communicative, supportive, friendly, strong, personable, knowledgeable and diligent.  Adriana has all of those traits in spades but she also possesses the rarest, most important trait of all...honesty.  Anyone working with a realtor needs someone who will be brutally honest and tell you the good and the bad, whether you want to hear it or not.  Adriana does this expertly well and, if something is bad, she also comes to the table with suggestions on how to navigate any issues. If we could give her more than 5 stars we would.  Our family is expanding and we are actually looking for our next home and, of course, are working with Adriana to find it. The prospect of buying, selling, moving and having a first child in an ongoing pandemic is daunting, but we know we are in excellent hands with Adriana and she has been instrumental in making so many of our family's dreams come true. She also has access to a massive network of professionals that are now our network and has allowed us to navigate homeownership with ease. She is clearly so very valued and respected by all of those she works with and interacts with. We have also personally referred several friends to her and they have been equally as pleased with her work as we have.  Adriana is the epitome of an expert realtor, professional and person and we cannot recommend her enough!
