Michael Rothstein

“Michael is by far the most knowledgeable, attentive and enthusiastic realtor I have worked with over the years.  He pays attention to detail while seeing the big picture, listens intently and advocates well for his client. So grateful for his spot on advice! “ -- D.M. , Newton

“Michael Rothstein was excellent in every way. He was efficient, competent, knowledgeable, stayed on top of everything and was delightful. He gave us good advice; however, he always said that the choices were ours.  “To Michael, thank you very, very much for helping us.” --S.B. & A.B. , Newton

"I had the absolute best experience working with Michael and Kathy from Hammond. They were truly amazing, patient, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire process. Even in this challenging market, they never gave up on helping me find the right fit, showing me as many homes as I needed until we found the perfect one. What stood out most was that their care did not stop once we made an offer. They guided me through every step of the process and made sure everything went smoothly, even [...]

"Michael, thank you so much for all your help in preparing our home in Newton for sale and then helping us find buyers. You were just wonderful and reassuring and made it possible for us to move with minimal stress, especially taking care of all the stuff that we did not want to take with us. I feel that we became great friends in the process. Again, many thanks for your help." -- S. R. & S. R., Newton, MA  

"Our experience purchasing a home with Michael was everything you would hope for. Michael is an excellent communicator. He is clear, transparent, and always responsive and timely. He is deeply knowledgeable about real estate and the required steps for purchasing a home. Since he was on top of everything, we were never stressed or worried. He is also a pleasure to work with, with a great personality. We feel lucky to have partnered with him and would recommend him 100% to others."     [...]

“When it came time to sell our home, there was no question who to call. Michael helped us buy our first home and we knew we could trust him through every step of the selling process. He takes the time to address your concerns, answer questions, and explain everything in great detail. We were confident from our first phone call that Michael could help us through what would have otherwise been a much more stressful process. From start to finish, Michael was there day and night to help us prepare [...]

"Michael is a rare gem. My experience buying a house in the highly competitive Newton market with him could not have gone better. A few key highlights: I'm typically nervous around new people, but Michael immediately put me at ease, explaining the process, the market, and getting me off on the right foot with a great mortgage lender. He truly listened to me and guided me through every step of the buying process (including ALL the EMOTIONS), offering sound advice while keeping a positive, [...]

“I've bought and sold several homes over the years and worked with many different agents. I'd seen Michael's name around Newton but I had never worked with him exclusively until this past spring (2024) when it was time for me to downsize. Working with Michael was a terrific experience. He brought me every relevant listing on a daily basis, made himself available to me at any time (including times when I know it was not convenient for him) and never pressured me to pull the trigger. [...]

“I worked with Michael to sell a family property that had not been maintained for about 20 years. He had the vision that if fixed up correctly the property would have great value. Michael took control of the clean-out, repair, renovation and staging, including the financing of the work. The house was put on the market for what I thought was a high asking price and we sold it after one weekend for almost $90,000 over the asking price. I could not have been happier. He is hard-working, honest, [...]
