Melanie is the best and was truly the best resource for my husband and I when navigating the ins…read moreand outs of purchasing our home, especially as first-time homebuyers! 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!

I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area! I was…read moreexpecting the home buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Melanie was there through all of it, and I closed on my first home this week. She's responsive to questions, knowledgeable (and happy to share that knowledge), and reliable. Beyond that, she was easy to talk to, kind, and fun to be around. It can be difficult to place your trust in someone with a big milestone like purchasing a home. Melanie is definitely someone you can trust to make the process easier and more transparent.

Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. 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.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

My husband and I used Ian and the Van Doren Group LLC for a new bathroom install project and are…read morethankful we did! Ian was able to save us over 5K on the entire project without sacrificing quality or any of the details we wanted! He reviewed the scope of work and pricing that our initial plumber gave us and immediately saw that we were being vastly overcharged for this portion of the project. Ian called his plumber Jeff, who was there the next day. Jeff was very knowledgeable and walked us through exactly how he was going to approach the project and why. He gave us a quote the next business day that was more than reasonable! Our story is a great example of why it is worth hiring a project management company like the Van Doren Group LLC as it will save you money and give you peace of mind that your project is in good hands! We highly recommend the Van Doren Group and will be giving Ian a call when it is time to sell our house!

Susana Murphy is nothing short of A MIRACLE WORKER. From both a seller's and a buyer's…read moreperspective, my wife and I can attest that Susana really delivered on every level. Energetic, hard-working, dedicated, committed, well-educated, passionate and above all else, GENUINE, are just a few words to describe Susana. My wife and I began looking for homes late last summer shortly after we found out we'd be expecting our first child. In order to find the right home for our future family, we knew we needed to sell our home on the cape quickly in order to buy around the same time. Susana made this process seamless for us, and we couldn't have been happier with the sale of the home on the cape. What we really want to highlight is our journey with Susana to finding our dream home. We had many odds against us with purchasing a home in such a seller's market, our first baby soon on the way, and our visions of our dream home being a tall order, Susana made it happen for us. Even when we felt doubtful and started to get desperate and willing to settle, she never let us stray from our original vision. We are so glad that we followed her lead because it landed us in our dream home. If you are looking for an agent that not only understands the market, but takes the time to understand their clients and their tastes, Susana is able to do both. If you're unsure how to navigate the real estate world, she's the best advocate you can have on your side to guide you over all the hurdles. Thank you Susana for paying attention to our needs and delivering the perfect home.

I'm an out of town buyer (west coast) with family in the Boston and Cape area. Was looking for an…read moreinvestment property, perhaps a second home and was recommend to speak with Susana. I was immediately impressed with her communication skills - she answered the call, gave me a specific time when she would call back and then did exactly what she promised. She also provided a wealth of knowledge about the area and immediately followed up with very sound advice on how I should proceed. As an investor who owns more than 30 homes, I was instantly impressed with Susana and continueto be more and more impressed as we move through the process. She's full of great local info, have profound real estate knowledge and have persuaded me to not buy certain properties that looked good on paper. I believe she is more concerned with my having a successful experience than just selling me a house. I would recommend her to anyone.

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.
