My husband and I are first-time homebuyers who were looking to buy in Melrose during a very…read morecompetitive market (late 2022/early 2023). On a whim, we went to an open house in Melrose and decided to make an offer. We contacted Kim Perrotti and she helped us put together an offer (and get pre-approved!) in under 24 hours. Although we got outbid with that first house, we ended up getting the second house we put on offer on, which is unheard of in this market. Kim was never pushy and did not waste our time showing us any houses that we weren't interested in or that didn't meet our criteria. For the house we ended up in, we worked with Jay Morneault on our offer. With Jay's guidance, we were able to put together a winning offer despite there being 11 other offers. We are so grateful to Jay and the entire team for helping us achieve our dream of home ownership, especially in this competitive market. They know the Melrose area incredibly well and they helped make the home buying process as streamlined and stress-free as possible. I would definitely work with the Kim Perrotti team again when buying or selling in Melrose.

As a buyer's agent, she was extremely available, always upbeat, honest, and offered years of experience to help us find the exact house we were looking for. She was very understanding, as we were first-time home buyers, and was more than willing to answer any questions we had. And she was very low maintenance, flexible, and put us at ease. As a seller's agent, she was a strong advocate, gave great information to help us decide what price to offer and how to adjust along the way, and helped us to be fair and yet get what we deserved. She was always positive, very low maintenance and understanding to a first-time home seller. I can't recommend anyone else. Annette is really wonderful.

From start to finish, Elizabeth went above and beyond the call of duty and consistently demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, warmth and attention to detail. Elizabeth stood out from other real estate agents after our initial meeting. She truly took the time to understand our needs, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made herself available when we needed guidance or had questions. Elizabeth displayed a commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us was evident in everything she did. What impressed us most was how personally invested Elizabeth was in our success as a buyer and seller. She went the extra mile at every step and made a stressful process feel manageable. We have an infant, and her level of attention to finding us a suitable home for our family was clear. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, expertise, and dedication.

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.

Rich Rosa was fantastic.

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.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

It was nerve-racking at first when my company announced last Fall to relocate my family as we had…read moreput so much effort to our first home. My company did help us with the move and referred a couple of realtors from their network. After interviewing them, I decided to search one more agent myself based on local sales results and list to sales price ratio. That's how I found Amber. So glad I did that additional step. She paid me a couple of visits in the winter to provide me with lots of helpful information to understand the local real estate market, statistics of recent sales, home selling strategies, and works that could be done to improve the value of the house. Even though the other two company-referred realtors had also great experiences and advices, we eventually chose Amber because: 1. Re/Max seems to have great presence in Melrose and are more recognized around. 2. Amber has access to a large network of online / offline media to market our property. The fact that her listing properties always get ranked high in Zillow definitely helps, especially with some of the strategies she recommended (see below). 3. Her detailed analysis of regional market and home improvement advices convinced me that she's truly knowledge and passionate about the local real estate market. 4. Finally, and that's really what won us vs another realtor - while the other realtor (who also had a lot of sales) arrogantly set our listing price low (so as to maybe allow her an easy/quick sale), Amber listened very carefully about our concerns (i.e. getting the best realistic price), and worked with us to develop a couple of detailed strategies, listing pros and cons, and backup plans under each scenario. Honestly, this step truly set her apart from the other realtor, and won us over. Listing process was smooth. She had pictures of our house taken by a professional photographer. And we set the listing price close/little bit below market value to attract more traffic. The house was listed on Tuesday with an Open House the coming Sunday. Between Tuesday and Sunday, private showings were arranged and handled very professionally. Thanks to her marketing network, and the right pricing strategy, we had an extremely successful Open House. Lots of traffic and multiple offers eventually helped drive the price up to 25K more than the listing price, 30K more than what the other realtor was recommending!!! Closing process was also very smooth. Amber worked closely with my relocation consultants, the buyer's agent, and their lawyers, to enable us to close on-time. All told, it took us 1 week to list the house before getting multiple offers, one and half month from the listing of the house to moving out/handing the keys over. So the lessons from our selling experiences are: First, the number of sales by realtors are not as important as the detailed strategies and how attentive your realtors are. In the home selling process, you want to have someone as understanding and responsive as Amber to help you throughout this process. Second, setting price low / on par to market value is counter-intuitive. But in a market where activities are picking up and with the access of a large online/offline marketing network, "pricing-to-sell" is really your best strategy. Buyers come and go like herds. As such, when possible, initiate a bidding war (among the buyers). Honestly, without Amber guiding us through this selling process, I would never have realized it myself. Overall, we are extremely thrilled to have had chosen Amber and followed her strategies and advices in selling our home. We highly recommend her to anyone who's planning to sell his or her house.
