Everyone was very responsive, listened to our needs, and helped us craft the perfect offer. 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!

She also referred us to wonderful professionals to fill out our team. Sylvia was extremely attentive to our likes and dislikes. She provided honest feedback about the houses we looked at, and was extremely helpful about educating us on the key things to look for when buying a house in a competitive market. 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.

If Harborside Realty as a team is anything like Dick McKinley as an individual, then I give them an A+. I highly recommend Dick McKinley as your go to guy for real estate. Dick is super professional, never intimidating and he's so friendly that you just want to buy what he's selling (no strong arming needed)!

My only caveat is the house staging firm Ta Do Ta Done was not as professional and if I had to do it again would have used a different staging company. Thank You Matt, Dick and Mike for taking the stress out of what is often a stressful transaction.

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. Her impact goes far beyond real estate transactions -- she builds trust, confidence, and lasting relationships.

She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, and would respond to email usually immediately but always within a couple of hours. She's also incredibly knowledgeable about the Boston area.

We also work in different parts of the city, and she was able to help us find neighborhoods that would be a convenient commute for both of us.

Throughout our experience working with her, we felt like we were truly a top priority for her and that she fully understood our needs/wants for our new apartment. Every unit that she sent us was exactly what we were looking for. Overall, her advice and guidance throughout this move were invaluable.

He was able to answer all of my first time home buying questions and recommend homes in several different neighborhoods of the towns that I was interested in. We went to several homes and each time, Dick was able to see what problems might be present in the homes and suggest what repair or maintenance work may need to be performed. He is also well connected, and was able to refer me to a great real estate lawyer and home inspector. He helped me to figure out what I wanted and what I needed in my home and neighborhood, and was available for every step of the purchase. When I fell in love with the home that I ultimately purchased, Dick kept a cool head and negotiated my purchase price to $15k lower!
