Nadine guided us through an unusual purchase (though she would say that every real estate transaction is unusual...) and never lost patience. You'd expect a real estate professional to be knowledgeable about Boston's neighborhoods, and Nadine truly is. Beyond that, a few things really set her apart from the rest: 1. She has an intimate knowledge of buildings old and new-- she sees beyond cosmetics, she will inform you about hidden costs, and she's able to give sound, practical advice about what a property needs, what could be done with it, and what the work is likely to cost. 2. Her experience providing broker price opinions for banks gives her more insight about the market than other agents. 3. She listens. Anyone who has worked with an agent who doesn't listen (and there are a lot of them) will know how valuable this is.

You & the realestate team helped make this a professional, flawless, and stress-free experience for us. On top of my own excitement, this is Andrew's first home and I can't express how lovely this all feels. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! We start this whole new chapter in our lives completely ready/prepared for the next two weeks of home projects, then packing, then moving! (and here we go!) We all must celebrate once the dust settles. Until then, have a great day!

My wife and I purchased a home this past August in North Reading with the help of Debbie Miller. As…read morefirst time home buyers, it was very helpful to have a realtor as patient and informative as Deb. We always felt much more comfortable viewing a home with her by our side. We were also very appreciative of how she made herself available to us at any time if we had questions or needed to fill out paperwork. It was great working with Deb and we strongly recommend her to others. Oh and her website was the best we found for tracking real estate activity. It was nice being able to get daily email notifications on the towns we were considering.

I highly recommend working with Debbie!

We had so many moments when we could've put in an offer, or we could've settled for less, but Melanie did not allow that to happen. With her expertise and her ability to just fully understand what we truly wanted, she was able to give us advice that was thoughtful and she would not let us settle for less than what we wanted! Even when we had questions or any concerns, Melanie was super responsive and made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we know this is far from true. She really helped guide us through the whole home buying process and made sure we felt 100% comfortable before moving forward in the process. She helped us get our offer accepted on a home where she could tell that we could really picture ourselves, and 4 months in, my husband and I couldn't be happier living in our new home!

I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area! I was…read moreexpecting the home buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Melanie was there through all of it, and I closed on my first home this week. She's responsive to questions, knowledgeable (and happy to share that knowledge), and reliable. Beyond that, she was easy to talk to, kind, and fun to be around. It can be difficult to place your trust in someone with a big milestone like purchasing a home. Melanie is definitely someone you can trust to make the process easier and more transparent.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Randal to sell our first home. Since we…read morelive outside the country, we needed someone we could fully trust to manage the many moving parts, and Randal made the entire process incredibly smooth. He took care of everything from coordinating with our tenants, contractors, stager, and HOA trustee to keeping us updated along the way. We followed his guidance on pricing and negotiations, and we were thrilled with the result: our condo sold well over asking. His staging recommendation was excellent and made the place look amazing. Throughout the process, Randal was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. We always felt like we were in good hands. We would highly recommend Randal to anyone looking for a selling agent who is knowledgeable, dependable, and truly goes the extra mile.

From our very first conversation, he was warm, funny, and incredibly helpful. He arranged a viewing quickly and answered all our questions with honesty and patience. Ruben made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. His professionalism, efficiency, and sense of humor made what can often be a stressful experience genuinely enjoyable. The application process was seamless and fully transparent. I was not only impressed by the property but truly blown away by Ruben himself. He was such a delight to work with--we'd happily work with him again a thousand times over, and recommend him to anyone.

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!

Most notably, the companies…read morepresident (our broker) Carmela Laurella along with two of her teamates that were of great help, Travis and Vito. It was August first this past summer when my wife and I decided we'd had enough of the sleepy suburbs and were ready to reconnect with the city we loved and spent most of our free time. We listed our home of 27 years and bingo, it sold in one day. Panic stricken, not prepared for such a quick sale, I contacted Carmela (I met her a year prior at an open house, liked her style and did some research on her and her company) and asked if we could meet as soon as possible. Long story short, she recommended that we look into short term lease options while we took our time finding our dream home. We followed her advice and wound up renting at Park Lane in the Seaport District-great place that deserves two thumbs up- on a short term three month lease that could have been extended if needed. We didn't need to.... Carmela sat my wife and I down at our initial meeting and listened as we described to her our 'must have' list in our soon to be dream home. Fast forward, we waited until after Labor Day to start our search as we needed time to pack up the old house and move into Park Lane....Carmela wasted no time finding four properties that met our requirements...........we bought the first home we were shown. We new it was to be as soon as we walked into the front door. She nailed it! Amazing! I thought we'd be looking for months as our criteria was not going to be an easy task for her to accomplish. The story continues.....I asked if she could recommend a mortgage broker..she said "I've got the best...Paul Sapienza of Drew Mortgage Associates"....he was dynamite! I also asked her if she could recommend a real estate attorney...she did, John Iacoi....a complete professional that made the headaches of real estate passing simplistic for both my wife and I that are just way too busy to be tied down to legal jargon. ***Do I add her recommended designer, painter and contractor? YOU BET!!! 5 star businesses have customer satisfaction down to a science, Carmela and her team get it and most importantly follow through....I could not have been more satisfied. My email that I sent her and her associates as we finished passing the papers read as follows: "Your high level of professionalism throughout this entire process was greatly appreciated. Together, you're quite a team!" Take my word, if you're looking for a new home along Boston's Waterfront, in my opinion, the only choice is Carmela's CL Waterfront Properties.

Top notch experience from the start! We had been searching for real estate in the area. One day…read morewhile walking by CL Waterfront Properties, a listing on the window peaked our interest. I went home and submitted an inquiry on their website. It was a Sunday night, so I wasn't expecting a response until at least Monday morning. To my delight, Carmela responded almost immediately and put us in touch with Chris Smith on the team. Chris scheduled an appointment with us to see our property of interest immediately. From there, we worked with Chris to see more properties in the North End. Chris was always very responsive and quick to set up appointments on our behalf. He was always very knowledgeable on all of the properties we viewed (and we ask a LOT of questions)! Although I was regularly searching Redfin and receiving daily alerts, Chris was a powerful 'secret weapon' proactively emailing us properties that fit our criteria. This extra research on our behalf was a real bonus, as the listings/photos don't always tell the full story. Searching for real estate in Boston can be a frustrating process and finding a responsive broker can be challenging (especially in this market!). I would highly recommend Chris Smith and the team at CL Waterfront. They truly cater to the needs of their prospects and their responsiveness always impressed us.

Mr. Drinkwater took the time to work with us and explain each process step by step from what investments would make the home sell for a profit, and what we could sell the home for without investing anything at all. We got together the team, we worked on the project for four months, we invested a small capital investment, and we doubled our return on the sale of the home. We worked with Grand Gable to stage the property, we thought, no , we don't need to stage this property, everything in the home is brand new, the entire place is newly renovated, but staging made such a difference and Dave's firm set up the staging we needed, and it was encompassed into our broker package. We cannot say enough how easy it was to work with Dave and his team at Grand Gable, from start to finish. And David makes certain the seller is aware of each step along the process, I mean , he explains everything, because in this market, during COVID-19, there were some things, we did not understand, and he certainly did. If he is working for you, he is working for you! Representing the seller. The entire team at GG were so professional, the work was seamless, nothing left out, no stone left unturned, at the end of the escrow the buyers sent us a very nice thank you letter , which made it easier to let go of our family home, we had moved into when we were all very young. We would highly recommend David Drinkwater and his team at Grand Gable Real Estate to anyone who wants to feel like they are family, to be treated like family, because selling a home is stressful enough, believe me, when you work with a pro like David, you will have so much less to worry about!
