So let me give you a brief overview of what happened. On the 3rd I emailed Xander telling him that…read moreI was going to be moving, and I asked him if he could help me find an apartment. On the 10th I signed for an apartment. That's all it took, one week. Within two days of him knowing I had a list of apartments. And two days after that I was viewing them. And by the end of the week I had signed for a place. Xander was there, very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Willing to explain things and usually with an answer within two hours of my question. He has this process as painless as possible and I can only wish that works as well for you.

I wish I could give them zero stars. Tommy is an extremely incompetent agent and bushari is a total…read moredisaster of a company. They gave me their "stock" lease when I moved in which I didn't realize at first says that the rent may be raised at any point during the term of the lease. They told me laundry was in the building even though it isn't. To sum it up, they are a bunch of snakes that will say anything to get you into one of the apartments they're showing. Tommy and co are now responsible for showing the apartment that I am moving out of. Tommy and his team have made the process so painful. They don't communicate well or truthfully with me, the landlord, or the perspective tenants. Do not trust Bushari. Do not trust Tommy. They do not deserve your business, and I have told the landlord that he should not work with them either.

She has consistently proven her ability to recommend the right offer and set the right list price (3-0 with us!). She is thoughtful, attentive to our requirements and deadlines, and always courteously helpful with keeping the process on track. She did the hard work so we didn't have to, and had proven contacts and reasonably-priced resources ready to line up for us: a staging team, inspectors, movers, general contractors, builders and carpenters--the list goes on. If you want to sit and wonder how it could've been so easy from the comfort of your new home, work with Maggie!

Please avoid this agency to save you some time. The agent that we worked with show us horrible…read moreapartments (it's a tough market so I don't blame him for that). However, he didn't plan ahead of time to arrange for the keys. We literally sat in the office for hours waiting for him to call all the places. We gave him plenty of heads up for the ones we wanted to see and ended up seeing 5 out of the 10-11 over 2 days. Bad business model. He knew we needed a place pretty soon and we have limited choices. He was pressuring us to take a place that's he knew it was awful. When we decided on a place he didn't help us to negotiate the start date or ridiculous deposit that the landlord has requested. He put in all the maximum numbers to secure higher probability that the landlord will sign a lease with us. We felt bad that he didn't earn any commission but... come on.. he needs to up his game. Oh gosh.. and we still ended up with no apartments....

She really does go above and beyond, works really hard, and tells you how it is. She is a sweetheart and so helpful!

She is WONDERFUL :)

Working with eXp Realty, specifically Team Truong with Marissa and Tom, was an absolutely…read moreincredible experience. They helped us navigate not just one, but two major deals simultaneously--selling our current home and buying our forever home. From start to finish, they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Marissa and Tom's dedication and expertise shone through every step of the process. They negotiated with our best interests in mind, handled inspections seamlessly, and even coordinated amazing photography to showcase our home for sale. Buying a new home contingent on selling the old one is no small feat, but they made it happen with ease and confidence. We are thrilled to have found our forever home, and it checks every box on our wishlist: a large yard for the boys to practice soccer, a dream swimming pool, and even the possibility of adding a chicken coop--fulfilling Tim's long-time dream of organic eggs without the price tag! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had Marissa and Tom as our realtors and long-time friends. They've been with us through it all, from selling our first home to helping us with investment properties over the years. If you're looking for realtors who are dedicated, professional, and truly care about their clients, look no further than Team Truong at eXp Realty!

I was throwing all my ideas out at her and she took the time to walk me through every scenario, even when it might be to her disadvantage as an agent. For example, I was thinking of buying land and building on it, which would mean she wouldn't be my buyer's agent in that case. She took the time to go through my "whys" in buying a property and provided valuable insights as I made my decisions. I cannot thank her enough for all the experience that she brings to the table! I closed on Feb 26, 2021 for a 3-bed, 2-bath condo in the city of Boston.

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! :)

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!
