In specific, Kylene Canon, one of the realtors -- she just finished our final walk-through with us,…read morefor our very first home-buying. The house closes tomorrow morning, and Kylene has been the most incredible person throughout the experience. From day one, where she took us to 10 houses in one busy morning, to Thanksgiving weekend, while she talked with the seller's realtor to get our offer accepted, til the week before closing, while our bank took FOREVER to deal with documents, Kylene has been unflappable, determined, knowledgeable, very much on our side, and so incredibly helpful thoughout all the stages of house-buying. Whether we needed her at 6am or 11pm, she would answer texts, emails, and phone calls; she was personable and kind, and I would recommend her to EVERYONE who is looking to buy a house.

I Highly recommend Robinson Real estate and the agent Jen! She went above and beyond to help me…read morefind the right place within my budget. She evn showed me places they hadn't listed yet! She was more than helpful along with the move in process as I had many questions since this is my first apartment. She was more than willing to help with any inquires I had an extremely timely manner. I never leave reviews anywhere but the hard work being done at Robinson real estate definitely deserves recognition!! I will be recommending Robinson to anyone I can! Can't thank Jen and Robinson enough!

Relocating to the Northampton area for work with a deadline date. We were working with other rental…read morecompanies in the area specifically a certain one that I will not mention there name but if you are reading this review or have read others online you know exactly what company I'm talking about. Grown extremely frustrated with them not returning calls, refusing to talk on the phone and only email. Being 3 hours away too didn't help but with this amount of money involved i would think they would be responsive. I was getting ready to either do an Air BNB or hotel for a few weeks till we found something. Just on a last ditch effort reached out to Robinsons late on a Friday night. Monday morning had a return call, Tuesday viewed the apartment and applied, Wednesday afternoon had conformation and accepted application. I really can't say enough about Jen and how absolutely professional, fast acting, and quick to respond to our communications. People with cash to put down that day and great credit scores should not have to deal with the nonsense of the various other rental companies in the area. I will vouch for Jen at Robinsons any day of the week keep up the great work the community needs people like Jen and companies like Robinsons.

Great experience. We needed a rough survey done of our property just to see where it is. Katherine,…read morewho answered the phone, looked up tax maps and deed maps over the phone and got back to me with very useful information, including the fact that the tax assessors think we have 2.8 acres when we actually have 2.3. Well, that's good to know! Then, the surveyor who came out was excellent, marked our rather weird property lines clearly, explained the access road issue, and otherwise gave us great information. Also particularly appreciate that these guys LISTENED to what we needed: a rough idea of where we could put buildings. So, they didn't do a full survey, just a four-hour one that gave us a sense of what we needed (and which was a whole lot less expensive). Great experience, and we'll have them back when we're ready to plan the outbuildings in fine detail.

Back in 2006 Howe Surveying did work on our commercial property without any issues. I called…read moreHolmberg and Howe six months ago giving them all the information I had about the previous work they performed such as address, date, job number etc. All I asked is if they had this on CAD. They were polite and said they would get back to me, I waited several weeks without a callback at which time I emailed them and got no response. I've called back numerous times and they are polite and apologetic and tell me that they will check their file at another office and get back to me. Six months have passed and still nothing but "We will get back to you" which never happens. Whoever is in charge needs to make changes on how they do things. The first is common courtesy of returning a call. I definitely would not recommend this business. FOOTNOTE: I contacted Raymond Engineering who had done work on the same property in 2002 and called them, Raymond Engineering got me the information in a matter of days. What a difference it makes to work with a professional. Again, I would not recommend Holmberg and Howe for your surveying needs. PS: This is the first time I've ever did a review on a business.

Erin Maclean was our buyer's agent in our search for our first home in the upper Pioneer Valley…read more She was an excellent resource and partner to us in figuring out what we wanted/needed in a home and then finding local lenders to get the best financing possible. When we found the home for us, she helped us craft the best possible offer to secure the house and give us protections in case there were hidden issues. She recommended a really thorough local inspector that not only gave us an orientation on the systems of our house but identified issues large and small and gave us confidence to proceed with the purchase. During closing she helped us make sure nothing was amiss with the house and has since even given us a list of contractors to help us with the home projects we can't DIY. Erin is professional, responsive and was an advocate for our best interest throughout the whole process - we can't recommend her enough!

A personable woman, who through client feedback begins to sort WHO the client is in order to know WHAT they want, Amy was always professional. And always on OUR side. She was our Burgess Meredith. Let me put it further. When we didn't have a check on us for the original wee downpayment for the offer, she spotted us. Now that is a realtor who is on the client's side. Thanks Amy, you are one of The Best.

I do not recommend working with Ilene Berezin to sell your house. I wanted to sell "as is" but…read moreevery time a buyer asked for me to do/pay for something, Ilene told me I had to and didn't suggest negotiating costs. So, I ended up selling the house not "as is". It shouldn't have been listed as such, as there was nothing wrong with it and I didn't realize that it would scare off buyers. Also, she listed the house too low; after a couple of months I insisted she raise the price. Ended up selling $13,000 higher that she originally listed. Her knowledge of the market was inadequate - the house should have been listed higher at the beginning. Should have sold for at least $8,000 more than it did. She's a buyers agent - seemed to be more accommodating to the buyer and I felt she didn't adequately represent me, the seller.

I worked with Craig Della Penna, a Murphy's agent, this April and May and I cannot give him enough…read morepraise. Not only did he do an incredible job selling my house in a difficult market and town, but he always made me feel supported during the process. I have worked with many real estate agents and agencies during my life, and Craig/ Murphy's was definitely the best at communication, honestly, and market analysis. The best part is that Craig is always honest with you, even if it is not something you want to hear. I highly recommend that anyone looking for an agent within a 45 minute radius of Northampton work with Craig (I was 45 minutes from Northampton) , whether you are a buyer or seller. You won't find a better realtor or agency.
