Our circumstances called for a quick sell/buy situation which they handled with no problem. I can honestly say that I was never worried about anything with them. Mike and Katie both handled all of our questions and concerns with speed and knowledge. We will definitely be using them for our next home search!!

Katie and her team took care of everything from beginning to end. She is responsive and it was…read morevery easy to do a lot of work electronically. Email discussions were very prompt and all paperwork was handled online. We knew the status of the sales process the whole time. Whenever there was something for us to handle, Katie made it very clear how to proceed. Selling is a property can be a stressful affair, but Katie kept us calm and moving forward the whole time.

Jim is an experienced realtor in this arena and worked with me over many months to get this condo to sell. When it looked like the bank wasn't going to accept the buyer's offer, I made the decision to pull the condo out of the short sale and make up the difference. Jim was there, every step of the way - his patience and expertise were a real plus (I'm not always the easiest person to deal with). His response time to questions is phenomenal - often answered texts within a few minutes, and would always let me know his availability - never left me hanging. Buying/selling a house can be very stressful, but Jim is so on top of the market, he made it a positive experience for me. End result - the condo sold. Thanks Jim!

Justin and his team helped us sell a small single family property in Worcester. Despite it being a…read moresmall low dollar transaction, we felt like we were given the same level of service as any other client. They were attentive, professional and brought us a great buyer. I would highly recommend Justin and his team, especially if you are looking to buy or sell a commercial property as we've also worked with Justin to buy and lease an industrial building and he's also delivered for us on that property as well.

This was our first experience selling a home and Justin made the process easy. He gave us a realistic expectation of the asking price based on the current market environment and recommended a few minor repairs to get our house market ready. The staging, photography and open house was well organized. Though we had already moved, he kept us well informed all along. Alicia was fantastic and made sure everything was in order before our closing date. I would highly recommend them for any real estate purchase/sale in Central MA.

I highly recommend Ann Trotto to anyone interested in using an agent who is knowledgable,…read moreaccountable, very responsive, kind, professional, never "pushy" and wonderful to work with. After going through 3 different agents during our home search, my husband and I were frustrated and losing hope that there were any agents out there who would return our calls/emails in a timely manner, not push us to look at properties that we clearly said weren't fitting into what we were looking for, or have a knowledge base about areas that would fit our commuting needs. I finally went to Zillow and found Ann after reading some high reviews. Ann was great from day one. We discussed the type of properties my husband and I were interested in, our price range and our community/commuting needs. Moving up from NJ less than a year before, my husband and I relied on Ann to guide us to towns that would work for us since we didn't know the area. After really listening and taking the time to consider what we were looking for, Ann showed us many different options, was patient with us during our home search process, never pressured us at all, and either knew or quickly found out the answer to all of our questions. (We really appreciated that if Ann was unsure of the answer to our question, instead of make an assumption, she would do the footwork to find out the accurate answer for us.) We also appreciated how during our home tours, Ann would point out things we may not have noticed, both good and bad about the home, and taught us a few things to be aware of. During the purchase process, Ann was at our side every step of the way, answered questions, offered suggestions as we needed them, was very informative as to the values of competitive properties in the area and, in turn, the true assessed value of our future home, and guided us through the entire process. It made the whole experience less stressful and more enjoyable as we bought our new home. My husband and I are grateful to Ann for all her hard work, being a true teammate to us, educating us, and helping to find us our dream home! We highly recommend Ann Trotto and wish we had found her sooner!

If I told you the story of what Gary, Sue, My husband, and I have been through in the last 2 years…read more(related to our recently closed property) I'd would take up ALLLL the text space on the planet...the details of what we waded through together will remain one of the most interesting, taxing, and unreal experiences of my life...but what's important??? What am I going to share?? Here it goes... Gary and Sue are a remarkable duo. They are not only our agent and partner, they have become like family. Selling our home was extremely difficult (to say the least) and they went above and beyond to literally hold our hands through until the very end. Thanks could never be enough. They lead each sale with professionalism, integrity, persistence, expertise, and a humble nature that is UNMATCHED. I do not exaggerate when I tell you they will go to the ends of the earth to move mountains for their clients. When I chose Gary originally it was because I saw him "get things done"...I mean the guy certainly knows how to sell a home no doubt, but what "sold me" on he and Sue...was the heart behind it all. Their huge hearts. They sure are compassionate and driven to help their clients live out the "happy ending" we all dream of when trying to buy or sell a property. If you are looking to buy or sell...I highly encourage you to grab a meeting with these two...sit down with them, chat about what your goals are and I promise you they will exceed your expectations by the time it's all complete. They do way more than "sling houses"...they provide an experience that shines bright with the joy they carry and their passion for truly helping others! Go with Gary and Sue...and you have my word you'll thank me later!

I'm absolutely blown away by the service Gary and Sue provided. I had listed my home the year…read moreprior with the big online discount broker, and it didn't sell. I guess you get what you pay for. Gary and Sue were very professional and efficient throughout the selling process, from preparing for listing through closing day. Minor repairs were done to enhance curb appeal. My home was professionally staged at no additional cost. The photos and flyers looked amazing and even included a custom website. They also took care of coordinating all the final inspections/readings/bills/mortgage payoff. And the real kicker--it was only a half percent more than the "discount" broker! If I ever need to sell a home again, Gary and Sue will be my first (and hopefully only) call.

I am an internal auditor for Freddie Mac and have worked in the real estate industry for more than…read more10 years. Mike Flanagan and his team at Mortgage Unity is the most competent and knowledgeable broker I've had the pleasure to meet during my career. He has a polished approach, is patient with his clients, and is willing to get into the technical details (and share data) to help his clients make the best fit financing decisions. He was timely across the application process, and in my case the terms of the transaction were a bit tricky. But Mortgage Unity didn't miss a beat. I'd recommend Mortgage Unity to any home buyer across any range of prior homebuying or real estate experience (from first time buyer to investors). Thank you Morgage Unity!

My husband and I spent months trying to find a home that fit our criteria in what felt like the worst possible home-buying environment. Stacey worked with us quite literally every day, helped us find homes that would work for us, came to every open house and showing, and used her honesty and experience to assist us in finding realistic options. She also was constantly open to my (unending) questions, and helped to explain everything to me so I could understand the process we were going through. We're now living in our home after so much work, thanks to Stacey. My husband and I absolutely can't recommend working with her enough to help you find and secure the perfect home for you!

Even after we signed the P&S, Stacey has been available for advice, cheerleading and tying up loose ends. We highly recommend her!

Exceptional Service and Unmatched Integrity - The Best in Real Estate!…read more I reached out to Jim Black Realty at the end of April when I urgently needed help selling my father's house, which was on the brink of foreclosure. My father had passed away in July 2023, and my aunt was squatting in the house, making the situation even more complicated. Jim Black took on these challenges without hesitation. Jim and his team exceeded all my expectations. Despite being bombarded by offers from multiple companies with questionable intentions, I trusted Jim based on a fantastic experience my husband Evan and I had when he helped us sell our house in Auburn in 2018, making over $100k in the process. Living in Texas and dealing with this from halfway across the country, I felt overwhelmed. However, Jim's honesty, integrity, and genuine care put me at ease immediately. He assured me we could avoid foreclosure and pay off my father's loan, and he took on the task of communicating with my aunt to ensure her peaceful departure. A standout member of Jim's team was Megan Beckman, who provided exceptional service and support throughout the process. Her communication was impeccable; she kept me updated via email and text, answered my questions promptly, and was incredibly helpful at every turn. Jim Black Realty ensured a smooth and stress-free experience. They connected me with reliable and trustworthy professionals, including a probate attorney, smoke detector service, appraisal service, Title V inspection (through L&H Sewage), and even a local handyman to address a safety concern. The level of organization and support they provided was astounding, handling every little detail and making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Words cannot express my gratitude for their help and professionalism. Compared to another realty firm I worked with in Austin, Texas, Jim Black Realty is in a league of its own. Their professionalism, organization, efficiency, communication, integrity, and honesty are unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. They are the best in the realty business in New England. Jim's over 20 years of experience shine through in his passion and expertise in real estate. 10/10 recommend, 5 stars!
