But with their excellent staging, fast marketing, and open houses, we sold in just 2 weeks (between Thanksgiving and Xmas!) and were able to secure our dream home in CA.

From start to finish Judy and Steve made the sale of our home of the last 22years seamless. The pictures were beautiful and the home was marketed extremely well.

I highly recommend Judy Greenberg and her team!

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic. He was able to deftly guide us…read morethrough the process of selling our home and the absurdities of the current market to a safe landing. Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

With how crazy the real estate market is, especially in the North Shore, it really goes a long way…read moreto have an excellent realtor. Susan was beyond exceptional. We were so fortunate to have first met her while wandering through one of her warmly staged open houses. While most seller's agents we met at open houses tended to stay disengaged, Susan was welcoming and clearly was there to advocate for her client. Even though we didn't go with her open house listing, the true reward was getting connected to her for the rest of our new home search. While some realtors are just there to open the door and send you automated listings, Susan blew us away with her vigilant and thoughtful procurement of potential homes. When seemingly perfect listings popped up, we'd quickly hop onto our email to ask Susan for a showing only to find an email already in our inbox from her asking if we'd be free later that afternoon to see that exact listing. With each potential home, we were greeted by her kind smile and thorough data on not only the home but also the neighborhood and market. Her local roots and connections to the North Shore gave us the confidence in understanding and making the decisions needed to submit offers in an area where homes were receiving 10+ offers, tens of thousands over listing price. Susan provided constant communication and support. We never felt pressured, uncomfortable, or alone while working with her. I honestly have no idea how she has so little reviews online and feel like we really lucked out to have gotten her as our agent before more people catch onto the exceptional quality and service she delivers. If you're in the market for a home in the North Shore, you need to at least give her a call to experience what an exceptional realtor truly looks like. Oh... and she helped us close on our new home at the price point we had hoped for. Exceptional quality, service, and results - yes, she's that good.

They have…read morebuilt a team and comprehensive network of professionals that know how to deliver in all aspects of home purchases. I went from thinking the possibility of a home purchase was 3-5 years away... to finding and closing on my forever home in 20 days with the Pickard's guidance, help, and assembled team. The Pickard RE/MAX Suburban Team was referred to me by a lifelong friend who has exclusively worked with the Pickard's over the past 15 years for home rentals, purchases, and sales. Initially my goal was to attain a 3-5 year home rental and then transition into a home purchase. After seeing the elevated rental prices with limited inventory, I asked Ron Pickard, "can I purchase now?" Ron answered "yes, let me show you how." From there Ron & David worked with an outstanding Mortgage Broker to create a comprehensive purchase & financing strategy that worked for where I was at and what I could do. David was able to help me find, negotiate, and acquire my "Forever Home". David assembled my purchasing team of Mortgage Broker, Lawyer, Insurance Agent, and Home Inspection that yielded a seamless closing within 20days of submitting an offer on a property that had 4 other offers. That ability for a rapid and low risk closing is what made my offer then selected option. Ron & David were ALWAYS very responsive, and made sure to fully answer or get the answers to the items I asked. They best part is they worked as a team so there was ALWAYS continuity in expedited action and delivery. Thank You Pickard RE/MAX Suburban!!!

After our parents passed, my brother and I kept the home/house we grew up in as a rental. When it…read morecame time to sell it, our vision was clouded by history and preferences of retired guys. For us it was a home & not a building. Marco helped us choose a decorating scheme that attracted contemporary buyers and suggested a way to stage the living room that we couldn't have dreamed of. After the prep, he had 2 offers after 7 showings. One of them was full price and "as is". Marco helped with negotiations after the village's pre-sale inspection came back with requirements that would be found in new construction and were not common when the home was built in 1950. The house was listed after Labor Day and closed at the end of October. I recommend Marco as a realtor and would not look anywhere else.
