We would definitely recommend Melanie and her team to help you find your perfect house. We had an…read morealmost a year-long, arduous and sometimes stressful, house search during this continuing pandemic. But  Melanie and Bryan kept us on our toes, with their bright smiles and perseverance. Now that we have our own house, we are so grateful for their patience and are thankful to have had Melanie and her team on our side to guide us through. For a detailed review please see below... We selected Melanie based on her stellar online reviews and our initial conversation with her. As we started visiting properties we very quickly realized that we were actually getting a 2-person team. Melanie has a gem of a colleague, Bryan, who would visit each of the properties with us. Bryan, who has 30+ years of experience, is very patient and took the time to explain the nuts and bolts of a house to us novice first time buyers. Over time we realized that we were getting the best of both Melanie and Bryan. Bryan was great at retrieving all pertinent details (including floor plans), understanding what our needs were and was able to tell if the plans would fit our needs and help us navigate each property visit. Melanie was great at listening to what we felt/thought about each property and guiding us thoughtfully as we wrestled with our decision to move forward with one property or not. After learning what we were looking for, in houses, and also learning our deal breakers, they were both able to use that to guide us throughout the process of buying. Furthermore, Melanie was adept at negotiating with the seller's agent and advising us of what to expect in terms of prices and competition. As our house hunting stretched on for months during stressful pandemic times, Melanie and Bryan were indefatigable, never losing hope or patience and were great in guiding us through each offer/negotiation. We never felt pressured into making an offer we didn't like or paying more than we thought couldn't afford or felt was not right. In fact after almost 100+ property visits, a smiling Bryan met us at each property and approached each property with unbridled enthusiasm which really helped us in the stressful search during pandemic times. Likewise, Melanie approached each offer with equal enthusiasm and was always available to talk to. She even managed to check and be on top of negotiations even during her important life events which we really appreciated. We never felt rushed to buy nor put an offer that we were not ready for. Even after each rejected house offer, Melanie and Bryan were able to give us hope that we would find our perfect home. Finally, Melanie has a wonderful network of home inspectors, real estate lawyers, bank closing agents, admins etc. who came in very handy after our offer was accepted and made the closing process quite smooth. In fact, she has made herself available for guidance/discussions even after we have moved into our recently bought property. Overall, we would highly recommend Melanie and her team. She takes the time to know her clients needs and desires and guides them thoughtfully to make the best decisions. In future, when we are looking for a real estate agent to buy/sell we will reach out to Melanie and team first.

We also backed out of an accepted offer because the house my husband liked was back on the market. Melissa was very friendly and easy to work with through out all this. I do think she brought peace and calmness to our experience. She was very responsive and attentive to our requests, and was quick to set up showings. She even brought me a rose for Mothers Day--a small gesture but heart warming. She was very professional in giving us advice and very efficient in putting an offer together, which was important given our tight timeline. Closing was uneventful. All in all we are very happy that we chose Melissa to be our agent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melissa.

We highly recommend Maureen Handy for any real estate transaction. She was absolutely fabulous and…read moreworking with her was truly a pleasure. Maureen was the most professional realtor we have ever worked with and there were several. During our first meeting she came prepared and gave us her honest opinion and not what we wanted to hear or a low ball number to sell the house quickly without effort. She actually did her research and had documentation to back it up. We had realtors tell us how many years of experience and certificates they had, which meant nothing. We had realtors who had high energy, looked slick and talked slick about how they were the best but proved to be unaccommodating and we felt like we worked for them instead of the other way around. We finally went with our instincts and chose Maureen and she sold our Attleboro home during the first open house. Maureen was very accommodating. She had open houses when we wanted them, and had them for the length of time that we wanted which no other realtor would do. She actually cared about what we wanted and did whatever we asked without hesitation. She even did things that she did not have to do to ensure the deal closed, including chasing for certificates and permits. Maureen is a very honest person and has impeccable characteristics. She treated us like family which was very much appreciated. The only complaint we have is that we did not use her as our first realtor and that is on us. Thank you Maureen for everything and we wish we had you in California.

I simply do not know where to begin. As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous and confused, to say…read morethe least... I met Maureen at an open house she was conducting last winter, (I didn't have a realtor in RI at the time), and felt at ease right away. She asked me to email her with the basics: price range, number of beds/baths I wanted, and the rest was history. I lucked out in the realtor department, that much is certain! My boyfriend and I spent about the next six months looking for our dream home, under Maureen's direction. She often sent listings she thought we would like and took us on countless viewings. She was always patient, attentive and accommodating. Even when I insisted that I was being picky or difficult, she reassured me, confirming that this was a major decision and that we would know when the "right one came along"... Well, after tirelessly searching, we came across the winner and she was there right through the closing, and even beyond. I had a couple of follow up questions once we moved in and Maureen didn't skip a beat, she is a task-master and always follows through. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! We finally moved in about two weeks ago and I couldn't wait to rave about my experience. When it comes time to do your own home search, or to sell your home, you wouldn't be in better hands than hers. Maureen has the people skills, the brains to know the business and a special talent for making you feel like you are her only client. In a world where word of mouth means a lot, and it is not always easy to trust or impress people, this "fussy customer" was beyond pleased. Kudos to you, Maureen!

I listed my mom's house with Raveis Realty. Since I live in California and the house is in…read moreMassachusetts, I explained that I needed them tell me what needed to be done. I also said I was willing to put money into the house before simply dropping the price. The services included listing and showing the house to prospective buyers. The first agent I used, Kathy Cuoco, told me everything was great and that the house was ready to go. After a few weeks of little to no activity, I asked someone else to check in. They told me the grass was very high and that the house looked abandoned. When I contacted Raveis, I was told it was a tough market and to drop my price. After a couple months of basically nothing, I asked to change agents so my listing was (kinda, sorta) transferred to Kathy Knox. She began by saying that I should drop my price because it was an awful market and that she didn't expect it to improve for at least 2 years. (I can look up the Case-Shiller Housing Index easily enough, and it didn't support her assertion.) Meanwhile, I traveled to Massachusetts and saw that the place needed work. I can't guess why they didn't tell me, unless they were used to selling abandoned properties and mine looked good by comparison. So I hired several tradespeople to make repairs and updates. When the house went back on the market, I got some interest but I never felt like the Raveis team was working on my behalf. They were just going through the motions. The worst point came when they had an open house and got no traffic. I was told by a friend that they didn't even put signs out. When I asked why not, they said they'd advertised the open house on Craig's List. Eventually, the 6-month listing contract expired and I re-listed with Keller-Williams out of Concord. Talk about a night-and-day difference. The agent I used, Deb Nicholls, was so much more professional and helpful. She took charge and did what a real estate agent is supposed to do. I soon got an offer and sold the house. Kathy Knox is still sending me email updates on my listing even though the house is sold and despite my repeated requests for her to stop. They honestly seem utterly clueless.

As first time home-buyers, my wife and I knew we would have a wide array of decisions to make…read morethroughout the process. The easiest of these decisions for us was choosing to work with Denise Garzone as our Realtor. Immediately upon meeting her, we knew she truly wanted to help us find the right home, at the right price. We found ourselves at ease with Denise, and were able to trust that she was looking to partner with us through the process. Denise masterfully balances the drive required to complete a transaction in the competitive environment of suburban Boston real estate, with the grace and patience needed to ensure we were comfortable with each step of the process. She never made us feel pressured or rushed, and clearly explained the pros and cons of each choice we made. Denise understood how difficult it was for us to take in all the information about not only the houses available, but also the lifestyle change of moving from the city to the suburbs. She tirelessly researched the properties we were interested in, even going as far as pulling building permits from the town offices, allowing us to make the most informed offer on a house. The negotiations for what became our new house carried through the snow storms of February 2015. For those who lived through this season in Boston's history, it proved to be very difficult time for even the heartiest New Englanders. Not even continuous blizzards could phase Denise. Her commitment to us yielded the exact house we wanted for the lower end of our budget. Denise's commitment to us and our search for our first home never wavered, and for that we will be eternally grateful. We strongly commend her to anyone looking to purchase a home, and promise you will not be disappointed.
