“Ezra Stillman of Hammond Residential came highly recommended by good friends when it was time to sell our older, but well-loved, Brookline Victorian in January, 2024. Within two days of our signing an agreement, Ezra had completed comps of similar homes in the area, established a list of priority repairs, and provided us with a selling price range that we were pleased with. Soon after, he brought in tradespeople he had worked with to provide estimates. They proved competent and thorough, and [...]

“Ezra did a fantastic job with the sale of my parents' house in Chestnut Hill. This was a complex sale on a tight schedule. What impressed me most were Ezra's pragmatism, judgment, understanding of the Newton and Brookline markets, great communication with me and our real estate attorney, attention to detail, and ability to line up and manage a great team of contractors to fix up and stage the house quickly and cost-effectively. “I was surprised at how smoothly and stress-free he was [...]

“Our tremendous admiration and gratitude for your expert handling of the sale of our house continues and always will. Your plan of how to proceed reflected your expertise, and your ability to guide everyone through the plan was such an impressive combination of skill and thoughtfulness. You saw that the house had gotten to be more than its senior citizen, empty-nester owners could handle, and because you have such fine and long-established working relationships with the recommended [...]

“By way of background, I’ve been involved, both as a buyer and a seller, in many real estate transactions, both residential and commercial, over many years, so I’ve had occasion to work with a number of brokers. Prior to selecting Ezra to handle the 2017 sale for me in Newton, I also first obtained recommendations in that area and then interviewed several highly regarded brokers from different agencies. “During the selection process, Ezra impressed me as being far and away the most [...]

“I have been working in real estate development and architecture for over 30 years. Ezra Stillman worked with our development team over a three-year period to consult with us while we permitted the land and advised us as to how best sell a subdivision that was encumbered by Historic and Conservation Commission restrictions. It was not an easy job, however. Ezra was there for every step of the way, giving his knowledge, advice, feedback and then successfully selling the lots. Ezra Stillman is [...]

“A quick note to say thank you for all your help, guidance and advice with my purchase of my new townhome. “I noticed in a recent Hammond brochure that you began selling real estate in 1994, the very year I met you and you helped me purchase my first home. I must have been one of your first clients that spring! “Over the years I’ve worked with you on multiple purchases and sales and I’ve come to rely on all the many resources you bring to each transaction including real estate lawyers, [...]

"We worked with Ezra to sell our single-family home in Chestnut Hill in the early Spring of 2019. His advice, experience and knowledge of the market made the process go as smoothly as possible and ultimately delivered a quick sale at a price that far exceeded our expectations. His marketing plan for our home enabled us to sell within a week and he deftly managed the competitive bids so that we not only sold for a very good price but with a minimum of conditions. “We also worked Ezra again [...]

“When we chose Ezra as the broker for the sale of our house in Brookline, it was the first time in nearly 17 years that we had been in the real estate market. Much has changed and Ezra walked us through those changes, describing how they affected the reality of marketing property in today's technical and economic environment. After that he put together a comprehensive marketing plan, including positioning and pricing. We adopted his plan and it worked exceedingly well, yielding multiple [...]
