Coming not just from out of state, but from out of country, we knew our virtual real estate search…read morewould pose some serious challenges. Bruce and Tim made us feel comfortable from the get-go, made the entire process as clear as possible for us, and guided us every step of the way. They made us feel right at home, understood our housing wishes, and actively helped search for the right fit. When we finally found our house in this crazy market, some very unforseen and unique challenges threw more problems our way. We would not know what to do without Bruce and Tim. They kept at it, supported us through the lows, held our best interests at heart, never losing faith, and eventually helped secure our dream home. Bruce and Tim really went above and beyond, and it is beacuse of them we are now home. Working with Bruce, Tim, and their team means peace of mind, no matter what the real estate market throws at you. The Needle Group are the best around!

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. 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!

Last year, I had decided to retain a real estate agent and Lori Poirier came to my house to meet me…read moreand discuss real estate and the new-fast moving market. She examined my house and was so pleasant and accommodative. She gave me all kinds of ideas and incentives. At that time the market was red-hot but I was not ready because the timing was off for me. She never pushed me nor did she try and use any sales pitch that I would make a hasty decision. She truly understood my position with true compassion. I would definitely recommend her and know that when I am ready I would retain her definitely. Her qualities are down-to-earth nature (a real true person), pleasant, knows her job well, honesty, trustworthy, availability a plus, a real conscientious moral real estate agent.

I listed my home with Lori. What I originally loved was that prior to us deciding to sell, we…read moreasked if she would take us out to look at properties to help us decide. It took us over a year to decide and during that time, she was always available to answer our questions, show us homes and whatever else we needed. When we decided to finally list, of course - no brainer, we went with Lori. She sold our house super fast, gave great advise on staging, what projects we should do and not do and then she helped us find a home! All-in-all, a pleasurable experience and I am glad we did it. She negotiated on both deals and did an excellent job. Her strengths are her work ethic and honesty.

She was able to sell our house for more than we thought!

From start to finish, Mike was excellent. We hired him to both sell our home in Quincy and assist…read morein the purchase of a home in Scituate. Mike was always available at a moment's notice, and his communication and transparency were unparalleled. He has an unrivaled understanding of the South Shore real estate market, which we leaned on heavily during a buying season with light supply. Whenever there was an open house, Mike would always arrive 30 minutes prior to our agreed upon time so he could walk the grounds and share his initial reactions on the exterior. Mike also has a robust background in construction, and his insights were invaluable as we toured a variety of homes. We cannot recommend Mike highly enough. Six out of five stars!!

Mike was awesome to work with! I interviewed several agents to sell my grandparents property and…read morehe stood out from the beginning. High energy, good listener, great knowledge and outstanding problem solver. Based on his analysis and expertise, we priced our property exactly where it should have been, and ultimately received 3 bids over asking price. Other realtors pricing strategy would not have yielded the same results. Like all sales, open houses, inspections, and closings, there were a few hiccups. Mike presented options for solutions rapidly, to achieve the goals we were going after. Beyond all of that, his honesty and accessibility was second to none. He answered every call/text within minutes. My family and I always had confidence that he had our best interest in mind. He was not afraid to put in the work at anytime during the process. Between hanging fire alarms, calling the water department and driving 45 minutes away to save me time, he was always willing to go beyond the extra mile. Mike also had recommendations for numerous vendors, that all worked out very well. I honestly could not recommend Mike enough. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Review #1134 This…read moreis a review for the real estate agent Karen Tanzer. Karen helped us with the search, and we absolutely loved her! From our initial phone call, I could tell that she is a very good agent. She listens attentively and you can tell your preferences are heard. During showings, Karen is punctual and communicative with her whereabouts. That exactly matches my style! Frankly, Karen is one of the few professionals who I have dealt with who is so similar to myself. I really couldn't have found a better match! You can tell she knows how to plan and plans showings very well. (I personally love to plan things, so I can easily tell someone who actually knows how to plan for things.) What I like Karen the most is how serious she is about covid precautions. I am someone who takes covid very seriously, and Karen is probably the only person I have met outside of my own family members who take just as seriously as I am. I am talking about wearing a quality mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc. There was one house we saw that asked for shoe covers, Karen just opened up her trunk and had spare shoe covers for us. At another house, someone didn't have the mask properly covered the nose and Karen wasted no time telling the person to mask up. I am really impressed with that! You can tell Karen is very knowledgeable about the local housing market and someone who specializes in new construction. She seems to know many other agents in the area. She also had personal recommendations for buyer attorney, inspection, plumbers, etc! Even during the closing process, she would send us updates and check-ins. She was clearly on top of everything. While I was assigned to Karen through an official university referral program, I couldn't be happier with this match. The university assigned me another agent as well, but Karen was simply better. I've talked to other real estate agents through friends and family here and there before, but immediately could tell Karen would be different. I can confidently say that Karen is the best real estate agent I have worked with.
