Working with Caroline was so great that I hired her again this year to sell that condo and to buy a house in Marlborough. Caroline treats her clients like family and has a vested interest in the outcome of her sales. I appreciate her honesty and frankness when looking at properties - she will be honest if she doesn't think a place is worth the investment. She made a very complicated and stressful process as easy as possible and worked very hard to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted. Caroline is the antithesis of a typical agent: honest, fair and hard-working! No need to waste time considering other agents - Caroline is simply the best!

Impossible you say?! Well to that, I assure you that you have not yet met Chrissy. For if you have, you have likely already experienced perhaps the most seamless and personable rental process in history. Not only was she very easy to speak to over the phone, but she was empathetic and accommodating with regards my constraints (I emphasize this as it was a holiday). I have a habit of moving at a fast pace, which was pushed into overdrive considering flight-determined deadline. While this can, from time to time, throw most people off or be a little overwhelming, she managed to get everything done with the highest level of professionalism and in record time. As for my new home, it is day 9 of my occupancy and I couldn't be happier. Really, I couldn't have found a better place to live. Thanks Chrissy!

If you're buying, here's what to expect: - Lisa will sit down with you and conduct a friendly interview on what you want to buy. - Lisa will recommend fantastic experts as part of your buying team: home insurance, lawyers, and mortgage lenders. The only recommendation we did not use was the home inspector due to scheduling and our own prior use. EVERY recommendation Lisa gives is a "tried and true" team member. They are all excellent. We used Jeff Nelson from Bank of America, Jeff Shargel's law office, and Matt Davison for the homeowner's insurance. All were excellent. - Lisa will email you listings of what you want, schedule showings, and give you open house notifications too. We saw a ton of properties in many towns -- Lisa does a lot of legwork. She even picked us up at the train station once when our car broke down. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! - Lisa is organized, fights for you, and is always your advocate. She asks questions you didn't even think of asking. - Lisa is super friendly, confident, smart, and a FANTASTIC negotiator. Even at our final home walkthrough, she found a minor item needing repair, got us monetary protection in the 11th hour (at closing!), and worked with the lawyers. She does this all with panache and friendliness. - Lisa is honest and tells you what you need to hear. She delivers bad news with such friendly skill and diplomacy, that you can't help but move forward with a better feeling instead of a negative one. She is such an excellent advocate. I highly, highly recommend her. She has a great communication style. Go to Lisa! We were in such good hands with many life changes happening all at once -- Lisa was there every step of the way. Happy house hunting! :)

We tried it on our own for a while…read moreand realized it was a pretty complicated thing to take on, so we took our chances with the small independent real estate office down my street and I asked for Lisa based on her glowing reviews. Long story short: she was everything and more! She took us all over the city and surrounding towns to search for the perfect home. Every weekend she updated us with open houses, checked in with us often and when we did attend showings together, she knew just what to ask the seller's agent. She remembered what we both specifically looked for in a home and went out of her way to find that. She was always available and responsive to calls or emails. Lisa is not only a wonderful person, full of energy and so friendly, she is extremely adept at negotiating with sellers agents and hooking us up to excellent lenders and attorney. We felt she was really looking out for us every step of the way, and count her as a friend! It was a memorable and positive experience buying our first home at Griffin, and we have been telling all friends and family about our experience, and hope this entry will help you feel confident about working with them too! We are also planning on coming back to Lisa when we eventually sell and buy our next home. 5 stars all the way!

We didn't have a buyer's agent yet, but liked her immediately, and tasked her with helping us find our "dream" home. We'd met plenty of agents on our own before, but they all were either pushy, needy, or kind of creepy in that Annette Benning in American Beauty "I'M GOING TO SELL THIS HOUSE" kind of way... Kelli was smart and honest, had thoughtful advice, met us all the time to show us houses in 9 different towns, and was extremely patient and encouraging. It took over a year, and she was fantastic throughout the entire process, which was often a nightmare, due to a sale falling through because of the seller at the last minute- literally, 4 days before closing the seller notified us she didn't hire movers after all, and would not be vacating the house- after granting her three extensions! Kelli was professional, helpful and supportive through the entire nightmarish hellscape of a process. We finally found our dream home in Wakefield, and are now selling out house in Wayland. We liked Kelli Cantillon so much that we've hired her to sell our house in Wayland, even though it's a bit of a hike from her office. We really couldn't be more pleased. * Edited to add the Wayland house had multiple offers within 48 hours, and we accepted one well over asking price!

I should start off by saying that this review is long, LONG, overdue...renos take longer than…read moreexpected--sorry, Heather! With Heather's help, I purchased my first-ever property in January 2018. A condo in Waltham. The way we found out about Heather is actually a little funny... I was working with someone who I didn't seem to connect with, and started a new search for local realtors. My search led me exactly here, to Yelp, where I read so many great things about her. Getting in touch with her was very simple, and we clicked right away. For just about two years, Heather took me and my girlfriend to countless properties all over the metro-west, each time offering her honesty and expertise. Apart from selling properties, she also knows how to fix them up!--She is a jack of all trades. What started off as a very long list of must-haves slowly but surely boiled down to essentials...It's pretty funny now. But Heather was so accommodating, so patient, and always made her best effort at making sure we were getting into something that we would be happy with in the long-run. She never made a fuss about working around our work schedules, no matter how early or late.....or if we were in the midst of a nor'easter! She's always easy to reach by phone, text, or email. We never ever felt rushed or pressured. Heather's fun and easy-going attitude made a world of difference during such a complicated and long process. She became more than our realtor; she became a family friend. We are so glad to have met her. I'm confident that any one who works with her will feel exactly the same way, and we are very much looking forward to working with her again in the future. We love you, Heather. Thank you so much for everything. Sam and Krystal

Heather Heather Heather...What can i say about her…read more As a born and raised New Yorker, I accepted a job in the greater Boston area in Q4 2016. I began my new job in October. As part of the job offer, I received a relocation package where they connected me to Heather. Reading up on her website, she is known to be a relocation specialist. She is a specialist. She knows her ins and outs of houses/condos. She knows whats to look for. We connected early on, and I told her what I was looking for, price range, location, etc... and then she went to work. Once I got in the area, she took time out of her busy schedule to show me around the neighborhoods of Somerville, Brighton, Arlington, Watertown, Belmont. She is very knowledgeable of the greater Boston are. She knows which markets are hot and which are probably hard to re-sell if i ever plan to move on to a bigger place. Looking for a 2BR condo, we saw a slew of places. However, when I accepted an offer in NY on my property, she worked even harder to find me places for me. Finally I was connected a beautiful newly renovated condo in Watertown. Heather worked for me and was able to get an accepted offer within my price range. She worked hard on the P&S agreement and connected me with a real estate attorney in the area that she trusts. Unfortunately, the process of selling my NY coop and purchasing the condo in MA took much longer than anticipated due to my NY sale (another story), Heather did her best to console the MA seller that I am close and that I am eager to buy and I am willing to do whatever it takes. Eventually everything panned out. Heather gave me an awesome gift when she handed me the keys. She even showed up to my closing! It just shows how much she cares for her clients. I feel that she goes above and beyond to make her clients at ease. I was stressed out a lot because of the delays, and she kept on reaching out to me to reassure me. She was really helpful during the hard times. Finally closed this past Monday and moved in on Tuesday. She still helps me out when I ask for it - connecting me to the right people that she trusts. Oh I can continue to go on and talk about our trips to see different homes/areas but then this review will become a book. Let's just say that Heather kept me engaged and on my toes throughout the whole process. It was a joy, pleasure, and honor to work with her. I am so glad that my relocation specialist connected me with her. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a place in the greater Boston area!

She was constantly sending me listings and got us into many places before the open house. This proved to be a huge advantage in getting our offer accepted.

Together we did a walk through of our condo and came up with a daunting to do list. Long story short, we did it all, from paint touch ups to rebuilding our back porch steps. We were on the market for 4 days, had 10 offers, and sold significantly over asking. Less than three months after first putting our condo on the market we moved into our new home in time for Christmas. Kristy's professionalism is second to none. She knows her stuff. I never doubted that she listened to us and that she understood what we wanted, even when we weren't able to articulate it. I can't recommend her enough. Just call her and you'll understand.
