She was also very patient with us during the search given what was available on the market at the time and what we were looking for. Melanie was easy to talk to, always listened and respected our feedback, and working with her it was clear she wanted to find us the right home and not just make a sale. While Melanie helped us find our forever home, we would use her again and are happy to recommend her to others!

We had so many moments when we could've put in an offer, or we could've settled for less, but Melanie did not allow that to happen. With her expertise and her ability to just fully understand what we truly wanted, she was able to give us advice that was thoughtful and she would not let us settle for less than what we wanted! Even when we had questions or any concerns, Melanie was super responsive and made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we know this is far from true. She really helped guide us through the whole home buying process and made sure we felt 100% comfortable before moving forward in the process. She helped us get our offer accepted on a home where she could tell that we could really picture ourselves, and 4 months in, my husband and I couldn't be happier living in our new home!

Doesn't advocate for you, does not advise, does not negotiate, just pushes you to purchase. As young first time buyers, you rely on your agent to share knowledge with you, advise you on what to avoid, etc. It's a shame. Unless you are a seasoned homeowner, avoid.

We recently worked with Kristen Dailey at Success. The entire Success office was a tremendous help…read moreto us during the process. We also used their mortgage services. The real star though was Kristen. Kristen was an outstanding advocate for us during two recent transactions, a sale and a purchase. For our sale, she guided us through all stages of the process. Everything from initial pricing strategy, through staging, open houses and negotiations. This all resulted in a FAST sale for us in a difficult market. For our purchase, she listened closely to what our needs were and used her in depth knowledge of the South Shore to provide advice. She was always quick to respond to questions and requests for showings. Kristen was there every step of the way for our family and we would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell in the South Shore.

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

Rich Rosa was fantastic.

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.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

from Michael Quincy, Mass / NYC…read more If you are looking to list your home and property on the market, look no further than Hillary Birch. That is to say if you want a dedicated, intelligent, highly experienced broker with deep integrity and a super kind heart. I first met Hillary about 7 years ago, just a month after my mom had passed. My mom had left me her two family home in the Wollaston section of Quincy. I live in NYC, and everyone & anyone around me at the time strongly advised that I sell the house. When I met with Hillary during this time period, I had expected her to advise the same. From my previous experience in the real estate business, I'm aware that a sale is a lucrative and desire commodity; certainly over the rental market. Much to my surprise, Hillary suggested that I keep the property as an investment, and rent out the two units. I intuitively trusted her expertise; and most importantly, her humanity (not necessarily a common trait in business). I took her advice, and in just over six years, my house DOUBLED in value. When I was recently ready to sell, Hillary was (& is) the only agent in the business that I would consider working with. Unsurprisingly, Hillary brokered an accepted offer in less than two weeks, for TOP market value; and we closed in less than one month. Due primarily to Hillary's diligence, determination to make a deal advantageous for both parties, and her warm & gracious style.; the entire deal went smoothly from the first day to the closing. My only regret is that I don't own a another home in Boston, just for the fun and ease of working with Hillary all over again-:) Additionally, ALL of folks that Hillary collaborates with to make a selling a home successful transaction (including lawyers, contractors, etc) are reliable, dependable, and honest. Deciding when or if to put a home on the market can be a stressful proposition. However, if you're lucky enough to have Hillary Birch selling your property, you will be in the very best of hands. (And check out her wonderfully creative & upbeat property ads on Instagram!!)

She helped me find 2 great apartments, and when it was time to buy a house, I knew I was going to work with her again. She remembered me immediately and made the very stressful process of buying a house less scary. She's so knowledgable about the housing market and gave us amazing recommendations for a home inspector, mortgage broker and even movers. She really knows the ins and outs of the entire process and will steer you in the right direction so you can make smart decisions. She really wants to help you find the home that you're looking for. Hillary is friendly, professional, approachable,  and has a great personality. She's a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend her services to anyone looking for a new home.

Signal Real Estate = Justin Rollo = A+++…read more Buying a home for the first time is an exciting experience but it can also be nerve-wrecking when the real estate market is hot, people are buying in cash, and properties are flying off the market in less than 24 hours. People give conflicting info, negotiations go back and forth, and the massive amount of paperwork - it can all make your head spin. However, my husband and I found an ally in Justin Rollo who guided us newbies through the entire process. Justin has more than just the basics down. He knows the Boston-area market stats, understands asking price vs. value, and is always accessible via phone and email. What puts him over the top is that he is client-focused and realistic. He catered to what we wanted - humoring us with comps when we insisted on crunching the numbers ourselves even though he already did it. I know, we are geeks. Our situation was probably more complex than most. We wanted to finance our purchase with a VA loan which meant more hoops to jump thru and an extended timeline. Even though this resulted in several non-winning offers on a few properties, Justin remained committed to finding us the right place and had our back even when we received some less than standard (*ahem* shady) counter offers. He took his time with us and we never felt rushed. An important differentiator about Justin is that he delivers a hands-on experience which it doesn't end when the contracts are signed. He will go to your inspections, deliver down payments, meet you at 730AM to check repairs before closing, email you back after hours, and even communicates with the seller about issues AFTER closing. He is on his game all the time and we lucked out with a solid agent in Justin. TLDR: Justin has his clients best interest in mind and gets it done. Highly recommended.

He is a great guy and a straight shooter and provides you with the information and suggestions you need to get through this process. We looked at a number of houses with Mike and he was able to identify things about the homes that we never would have noticed or even considered. There were several times where we may have gotten a little too excited about a house, despite some obvious setbacks, and Mike was right there keeping our best interests in the forefront. The idea of selling our house and finding a new one, with two kids, was a daunting task however, Mike really let us do it on our own schedule and was supportive and responsive any time we called on him. He was there every step of the way for us. He always answered every text, call, or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work are evident and very appreciated. We truly never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house or close the deal, but rather that he really wanted to find us our forever home. He was always available to answer our questions and help me to make the best decision for our family. He truly works hard for his clients and has his clients best interests at heart. We were extremely happy with our choice to work with Mike!

High energy, good listener, great knowledge and outstanding problem solver. Based on his analysis and expertise, we priced our property exactly where it should have been, and ultimately received 3 bids over asking price. Other realtors pricing strategy would not have yielded the same results. Like all sales, open houses, inspections, and closings, there were a few hiccups. Mike presented options for solutions rapidly, to achieve the goals we were going after. Beyond all of that, his honesty and accessibility was second to none. He answered every call/text within minutes. My family and I always had confidence that he had our best interest in mind. He was not afraid to put in the work at anytime during the process. Between hanging fire alarms, calling the water department and driving 45 minutes away to save me time, he was always willing to go beyond the extra mile. Mike also had recommendations for numerous vendors, that all worked out very well. I honestly could not recommend Mike enough. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!
