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!

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!

We never got confirmation after another week. I emailed and called, no response.... Don't waste your time.

This was our first time buying a property, and she made us very comfortable with the process. Nicole always provided the highest level of customer service, would answer our questions (no matter how small) in an extremely timely fashion via email, text, or phone. She made us feel as though we were her only client. She was always on top of new listings that fit our criteria and would share them immediately. She worked hard to get us into properties as soon as possible (sometimes before an open house) or even properties that were not officially on the market yet. We looked only in the immediate metro area (Boston-proper, Somerville, Cambridge) and she was knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods. Highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for a new home.

She is extremely unprofessional, unorganized and honestly quite rude. I have never been so unimpressed with a realtor. Unless you want someone who's going to disappear and ignore your needs as soon as she gets money from you, don't go to her! I cannot believe they let such unprofessional people work at their office who seriously only care about money and not their clients. Avoid her at all costs, she has no idea what she's doing. I do have friends who have used others in the office and really enjoyed it. Just stay away from Nico is all I am saying.

She showed so much care for my girlfriend and I…read moreat the time when we were looking for an apartment in Boston, I'm so happy Yelp has given me the opportunity to write about her. The incredible thing is Ron Ventresca, her colleague in the office, actually took time out of his personal schedule to introduce us to the landlords and went over and beyond to smooth things over with them and let them know that we would be good tenants. Lisa and Ron are simply fantastic in every way. Even before we committed to the apartment we ultimately moved into, we were about to sign a lease for another apartment when Lisa could see I wasn't enthused about it. She assured us that she would keep looking for us and I was amazed but expected nothing. That very day, she called and she said it was a steal and a better apartment! I couldn't believe it and for this, I am indebted to Lisa. The apartment we moved to was just down the street from the office and Lisa always remembered us. This is exactly what a "neighborhood' realty company should be about.
