I've been working with Ivy since 2010 (total of 3 transactions and working on the 4th). She just helped us buy a home in Winchester MA and we could not have done it with any other agent, I am 100% sure of it. Ivy just knows the business inside and out and she knows how to negotiate and help her clients. She took a lot of time to help me and my fiance find the right home. In this transaction, she worked directly with the owner (who elected not to have an agent) and made this deal happen, not just for me, but for the original owner as well. In addition to being an utmost professional, Ivy is just a great person. She is kind, considerate and wants to help. Eric Levine works closely with Ivy and is the "man behind the scenes" who just makes things happen so you don't have to worry about it at all! One big thank you to him too! If you need help with real estate, talk with Ivy. read more

Our experience with Keller Williams was excellent. Max helped us find our first apartment in Boston, and we wouldn't have succeeded in finding everything we were looking for without Max's expertise of the market, first-hand insights of the neighborhood we were most interested in, and keen negotiating skills. My girlfriend and I had decided to move in together, and both got jobs in the city. We were nervous to move from western MA, because we knew that competition for places we could afford was tough. Craigslisting alone wouldn't cut it, but it was important to us to invest in a brokerage that had realtors that were personable, yet maintained a high standard for professionalism. Max exceeded all of our expectations. Once we had found our dream apartment in East Boston, Max went above and beyond and did everything in his power to make sure the place was ours. Needless to say, we are here today and are so happy we went through The Ivy Team. Max was very easy to work with, was very straightforward and transparent throughout the whole process, and embodied a perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. We couldn't have had a more positive experience with a realtor! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Jason Amos and I truly do not believe that we would have found our condo had we not used Ivy Team at Keller Williams. They are a pleasure to work with, exemplify effective client service and have an unrivaled level of experience. Jason blends professionalism with a dedication to getting to know his client. After two and a half years of searching for a condo, I unexpectedly came to realize how crucial the latter is and believe that it can make all the difference in a successful purchase. Jason immediately understood that my fiancé and I had a long-term outlook on buying and, consequently, never made us feel pressured. I can't emphasize enough how important that was. His foresight, grace under pressure and grasp of the market was invaluable. On the day we signed Jason said something along the lines of "it's the realtor's job to keep a level-head." Whereas some realtors would push a sale that may not be best for the buyers but would benefit them, it's readily apparent Jason has your best interest in mind. Jason customized the search precisely to our needs and was incredibly patient with me (that's saying a lot!). It was clear from the process that Jason and the Ivy Team are highly-respected in the industry and have long-standing relationships that undoubtedly benefit their clients. For example, we were able to put a bid on our condo before it went on the market because of the Ivy Team's astuteness and vast network. Additionally, we had a seamless closing because of the Team's recommendations for a home inspector, attorney, etc. I offer my highest recommendation for the Ivy Team at Keller Williams. It's rare to find a company that embodies 'the whole package' - combining intellect, professionalism and respect for its clients. The Ivy Team does just that and we are grateful for their unwavering commitment to finding a home for us. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Jason is one of the kindest individuals I've met and is just fun to be around! read more

I had an amazing experience with Jason as my agent. He was professional, friendly, and responsive to my questions and thoughts. I am a first-time home buyer, and was rather lost as to how to go about purchasing a home. I ran into Jason at an open house (he was showing the house) and felt that he was knowledgeable and friendly, so I decided to see what he could do in the Boston market. He brought me to countless houses, and listened closely to what type of house I was looking for. Jason would dedicate his entire Sunday to me, bringing me from open house to open house, and if I found something that wasn't on the schedule, he would drop other commitments to get me into that house asap. His insight as to how much the houses were worth was also helpful since I was a new home buyer. He aided me throughout the application process, placing my bid, and after my offer was accepted. Any question that I had, Jason would answer it immediately, or get me into contact with whomever had the answer to it. Even after the purchase of my home, he has continued to answer questions about my condo. I would highly recommend Jason, and I feel extremely fortunate that he helped me throughout this monumental decision. He knows the market in Boston well and he goes above and beyond to ensure that you find what you're looking for. read more

Ivy is the most dedicated and professional realtor we have ever worked with. Our first encounter with Ivy was accidental. Right before the holiday season, we noticed a small group of people decorating the gas light poles on our street with garlands. She was heading up the crew. This was a fortuitous meeting because we were looking for a realtor to take over our apartment rentals. She turned out to be not only a top notch realtor but to have extensive experience and knowledge about all aspects of owning a building and renting apartments. She clearly puts her clients first and looks to build long-term relationships. She is thorough, experienced, and very nice to work with. She is a skilled and tough negotiator for us. She is brilliant at designing and staging apartments. Her extensive design expertise has helped us transform apartment units. From renovating and upgrading available units and common areas, to providing references for outstanding contractors she always delivers top-notch advice and service. Of course, she also finds the best renters! We just heard that she received a neighborhood award for her many years of community service. Congratulations Ivy! She truly cares about her clients and the community. She has our highest recommendations. read more

Jason was Amazing to work with. We were looking for a Realtor to represent the family interest with listing and marketing a property in Mattapan, MA. When I spoke to Jason, immediately I knew he was the guy who would take care of our 89 year old great aunt. Jason took his time with discussing each detail of the process with the family. He communicated frequently and kept us abreast of all issues related to the listing and marketing process. He was honest with his assessments and did not try to oversell to get a quick listing. Within the first 3 days of the house going on the market, we received 9 bona fide offers and sold the home for almost 20% over asking price. Booyah, that what it's all about. The family is thankful to Jason for his dedication and professionalism. read more

I enlisted Ivy to sell our home in Arlington, MA. We had a sunny 4 bdrm, 2.5 bath, 3-level townhome that was recently renovated and in perfect move-in condition. With the busy market, we thought it would sell quickly. After small turnouts at open houses and lack of activity, Ivy said we needed to reduce the price, which we did. We continued to see no turnout, and Ivy said we needed to reduce the price again. After two months on the market watching other similar houses sell quickly, we realized Ivy could not sell our home and that we needed to enlist another agent. However, we could not do so because we were locked into a 3-month exclusive agreement with Ivy. We asked her to release us from the agreement so that we could sell our home, but she refused to do so. We took our house off the market, but she still refused to release us from the exclusive agreement. By this point, we had already moved to our new home and were paying two mortgages. With 2 small kids and 2 mortgages, we could not believe she would not allow us to quickly sell our home with another agent. After our exclusive agreement ran out, we listed with another agent. The agent did so much more to sell our house - I couldn't believe the difference. She held a broker's open (Ivy did not do that), created a website for our property, and a virtual walk through. Our house sold within 24 hours at $25k above ask - at the same listing price we had with Ivy. We also had a very busy open house with twice as many people as the first open house held with Ivy. There were warning signs from the beginning with Ivy that I wish I had trusted myself to pay more attention to, which I won't mention here because I do not want to write a novel. Bottom line was that Ivy could not sell a move-in ready beautiful townhome, priced aggressively, in a busy market. I would not recommend her. [Sidenote: we used Jason Amos to help us find the house (which we later tried to sell with Ivy. Jason did an excellent job in finding our home.] read more

My husband and I worked with Jason who helped us find a great condo in a wonderful section of Boston. Ivy is helping us with coordinating renovations and then will manage the rental for us. Both Jason and Ivy have been professional and clearly know the Boston area market extremely well. So glad we found them both! read more

I worked with Jason Amos of Ivy's team, and I cannot say enough nice things about him. I felt like he truly cared that I found the right home for me, and that it was in my price range and didn't sacrifice any of my essential requirements in a home. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous that I would end up working with someone who just pushed for the sale at any cost. I did not feel that way with Jason, and can confidently say he is a man of integrity. He helped me stay grounded and not let my emotions drive too many of my decisions, which I am so grateful for now that I am experiencing the realities of owning a home. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the market throughout different neighborhoods in Boston, and I can't imagine what it would have been like to buy a home without him as a resource. It made all the difference to know he was my advocate, and he truly understood my needs and goals. I'll be sure to work with him again if and when I end up buying in the future! I had the opportunity to briefly work with Ivy as well, and she is incredible. I felt very safe and protected, and felt like she had all of the time in the world for me regardless of whatever other meetings or appointments she had throughout the day. Overall, I strongly recommend this team! read more

We just had a great experience with Keller Williams in the purchase of a home in Beacon Hill and cannot commend the team enough. We had seen most of the stock in our price range and had been looking a long time. Our buyer's agent had the local market knowledge necessary to identify a truly unique property while having the patience not to push us towards other less exciting, but tempting homes. We had great guidance through a competitive bidding situation and won the bid after the agent asked us to consider several strategic levers. The agent was also quick to react and support us through the mortgage commitment and closing process, which became complicated given logistics at the bank. There was no call, question, or paperwork left unanswered or hanging. We wouldn't be so thrilled to be in our home today without our agent! read more

Ivy handled the sale of my condo in Cambridge in the summer of 2013, and she did an awesome job. She and her team took care of everything, from cleaning up and staging the unit, to the open house, to the negotiation and closing. She made everything easy and took care of all the headaches, and she has detailed, up-to-the-minute knowledge of the Cambridge/Boston market. Highly recommended. read more
