My wife and I met Stephanie and Beth at an open house a few years ago. I had already been looking…read moreto ditch my agent at the time, mostly because he was not listening to me and he was pushing us towards a decision that he would make, not necessarily a choice we wanted. (We moved from the city to North Shore-a big decision for us as we've been downtown for over a decade, and still love it). Then we ran into Steph/Beth at another subsequent open house. I'd had enough with my old agent's pushy/slime-y salesmanship and we had built a quick and comfortable rapport with Beth/Steph. The decision was clear, for buying in the North Shore, we would begin a working relationship with Beth/Steph. Over the course of two years, they graciously guided us through searching, knowing the whole time we may not end up pulling the trigger for a long time. That didn't matter to them, they weren't hunting for a deal. They were fighting for our best interests, which I love. Never pushy, always helpful and always patient. In my experience, you don't often see that with realtors. You often get the hard sell, desperation mode style of pitching a deal. That hard sell and aggressive tactics tells me as a customer that they don't really care about the client, they just care about their commission. Stephanie and Beth are the polar opposite and we consider ourselves lucky to have had a few chance run ins that turned into a fruitful working relationship. Win-Win through and through. No matter what end of a real estate transaction you're on, Beth and Stephanie have all my praise and confidence in stewarding a client from start to finish.

Debbie is a fantastic realtor who guided us through our first home purchase. We were incredibly…read morelucky to be able to work with her and I would highly recommend her to everyone. As first time home buyers, we were nervous about making such a large purchase. Debbie was professional, authentic, patient, and made sure we were educated throughout the entire process. After we went to see a few homes with Debbie, it felt as if she knew exactly what we were looking for. Within a few weeks, she sent an email to my wife and I about how she found a great house that would be perfect for us. She hit the nail on the head. Every morning we wake up in our new house, we are taken aback by how perfect this home is for us. Not only did Debbie find us our perfect home, she also helped us through all of the paperwork, returned all of our phone calls and emails the same day, and gave us an amazing recommendation for our lawyer and inspection. Even when Debbie was on vacation she responded to us within a day. If you are buying a home, you will not go wrong with Debbie. She genuinely cares, is your advocate, and is simply fantastic.

With less than a 60 day window to shop, close, and move our family, we started the process last minute. Cory arranged every showing we asked and snuck quite a few others in between to maximize our time.

He is the consummate professional: responsible, reasonable, knowledgeable, and is an excellent advocate for his clients. He knows the North Shore better than anyone. He's also very reasonable on fees. He represented me in two lease deals. I found the process to be easy and he helped shape the tenant paperwork and get us into a place quickly (a big help when we had young kids!). He also worked on negotiations to save us hundreds of dollars a month. He's a stand up guy and he really gets to know what is important for clients. He also represented us on the sell side of a condo in the city during a challenging real estate market. He got the darn thing sold at a good price and faster than we expected. On our buy side deal, he helped us find local contractors and vendors to conduct repairs for our new home and otherwise made the closing process very easy. The technology his firm uses is outstanding and it really helps the deal come together quickly. Yes, brokers have to charge a fee but with Alan he earned it and more. He was available at all hours every day and it was impressive work ethic. Alan is a trusted agent and I will NOT do another deal anywhere without him. I'd give him six stars but Yelp only allows 5.
