They were…read moreable to find us good deals as a purchaser and have sold every property over asking price as a seller. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I can't speak to the rental part, but it seems like a couple people had a bad experience. Tache has been in business for many years with thousands of transactions, so three bad rental reviews isn't a huge problem in my opinion.

My boyfriend and I found a beautiful apartment on Zillow and, after two weeks of working with Tache…read moreReal Estate, we had lost all desire to sign the lease due to the awful experience we had working with our agent: Virginia. Virginia was over three hours late to our first viewing, was rude to both of us on the phone (to such an extent that we were hung up on multiple times), and was either unwilling or unable to answer many of our questions about the property without a considerable hassle. Virginia repeatedly insisted that we pay her broker's fee (equal to one-month's rent) before the company would write up a lease, and didn't provide us with any written contract detailing the terms of this payment until after we directed her to legal codes requiring such a statement. When we finally received a lease, the terms were objectively different than those that had been discussed on the phone and in person. We both felt that our time, energy, and passion for this apartment were not valued by our agent at Tache Real Estate. The only reason we didn't sign the lease was because of the awful experience and service we had with this company.

I rented a privately-owned condo from Harbor Rental & Realty (Salem, MA) in 2012. I'm still living…read morein the unit and it's been such a great fit! I worked with Joanne who was wonderful to work with. I believe Joanne was retired or was about to retire, and I think this company is run/owned by her son, John. (Sorry if I don't have that exactly right!) I had been new to Massachusetts in 2012, and Joanne gave me all the intro information I needed in order to get comfortable in Salem. She told me about great places to eat, about great spots to get inexpensive furniture, as well as other helpful information. She even gave me a ride back to the train because it was cold and late. I just wanted to leave a review since even after a couple of years have passed, I still remember how easy/positive it was to deal with Harbor Rental! If I were to move locally, I would go to this company first. My impression was that they are good people and that they really know Salem.

Parking spots are so tiny that you barely can squeeze in there, and if your wheel is on yellow line be prepared to get BIG "warning" from wannabees.

The property itself has seen it's better days - rusty rooftops, falling down stucco and dirty windows are the trademarks of Shatland Business Park.

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 took me a while to write this review because it was hard to put into words just how amazing of a…read morerealtor Judie is. Really, the best of the best. I was looking for a house in Salem for 4 years. I toured countless houses, and tried working with a few realtors. Most of them would just pressure me to buy a house that I wasn't interested in. Then I linked up with Judie, and two months later she helped me find my dream house. She gave me a heads up before the house even hit the market. During the process of closing, anytime I didn't know something, she had the answer, and anytime I needed a contractor, she had someone who had a better price and quality than anyone I could find. Most importantly whenever there was a problem, she had a solution and took initiative. On top of that she is such an unbelievably pleasant person that you could discuss anything with. Buying a house can be stressful, but she made it such a smooth experience. Now she is helping me sell my condo, and as I am about to put it on the market she brings those same attributes, making the selling experience so much more manageable with a busy work schedule. To sum up, Judie *will* help you find your dream home (or sell it). With her experience, expertise, and connections she will make the process smooth. Most importantly her wonderfully kind personality will make you feel at ease knowing you're working with a master of the trade. Thank you Judie, you're the best!

Her patience, understanding, attention to details, and thoughtfulness made the process as painless as it could be. Judie went above and beyond to make sure that myself and my neighbors were protected and safe from visitors during showings and open houses in the middle of a pandemic. Her legal knowledge shines through when it needs to, which saved tons of headaches! Judie was always available to help or just chat when I was nervous about the selling. She kept in contact throughout the process and the pandemic. She cares and knows her stuff! I could not recommend a better realtor. Judie's support and expertise are second to none! I can't imagine having worked with anyone else and am glad I found her!!!
