Why Work With Us?

“We worked with Jan to sell an older property and purchase a new condo, and she did an excellent job managing both transactions. She timed the market effectively, securing great value for both the sale and the purchase. We’re thrilled with the results, and the new condo fits our needs perfectly.

Jan is a pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, and flexible. She provided excellent guidance and was always available without making us feel rushed or pressured.

We would definitely work with Jan again for any future real estate needs.”

“We’re so glad we made Janice our ‘downsizing’ broker. She’s taken the time to learn our needs and led us to the perfect place, but we kept getting outbid. Fortunately, she kept her eyes out for a hard to come by unit in our favorite development which we saw and won. Her advice on things little and big is always spot on and we really feel supported by her and Hammond. Janice’s honesty and integrity is refreshing.  She’s the real deal!”

“I knew nothing about home-buying and because of her I have the home of my dreams and I found a passion for home-buying. Anyone who works with her is truly lucky!”

“Janice Lipof from Hammond Residential Real Estate sold our home in Newton. We could not have been happier with how Janice handled the whole process. She kept us well-informed, gave great advice, went above and beyond the normal call of duty and was willing to show the house to any party at all hours. We cannot thank Janice enough and would highly recommend hiring her if you are looking to buy or sell a house.”

" We met Janice at an open house. She is very friendly to talk with and knowledgeable about houses and  the housing market, so we decided to work with her for our house search. She works diligently with her customers to locate the houses within their requests. Janice found this great off-market house, so we were able to see it and place an offer beforehand. She worked diligently during the negotiation process and the communication with her was clear and smooth. We highly recommend Janice to anyone who is looking for a house in the Newton area! She will help you find your dream house in this competitive market!"

“What truly sets Janice Lipof apart is her genuine care for her clients. As someone who has recently gone through the process of selling a truly loved family property, I can attest to the fact that it can be an overwhelming experience. However, thanks to Janice’s expertise, dedication, and kindness my experience was nothing short of a success.

“From the moment I started working with Janice, I knew that I was in excellent hands. She took the time to understand my specific needs and goals and provided valuable advice and guidance and prioritized my best interests throughout the entire process.  

“Janice was knowledgeable about the current market trends, and she knew how to effectively market my property to attract a large and right pool of potential buyers. She went above and beyond to ensure that my property was presented in the best possible light including arranging her very own cleaning personnel and she was relentless in her efforts to find the right buyer. 

“In addition to her expertise, Janice also demonstrated a high level of integrity and professionalism. She was always honest and transparent with me, and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of. She was always accessible and responsive, promptly addressing my questions and concerns. She truly had my best interests at heart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her hard work and dedication. She was extremely generous with her time and assistance when I had to travel out of the country during the sale process, she stepped in without hesitation to oversee and communicate all the details to me. Her professionalism, client-centric approach, knowledge, and insights were instrumental and invaluable in helping me sell my home.

“I am immensely grateful for the exceptional service and support that Janice provided me during my home selling process. I truly felt like I had a partner I could trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Janice Lipof to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled real estate agent. She is truly a gem and light of a being to interact and an invaluable asset to your agency and the real estate industry.”

“Knowing that you were a real estate broker in Newton, I quickly contacted you to discuss selling my childhood home and you immediately did all that you could to make my life a bit easier as you ‘held my hand’ throughout the whole process. You took care of everything and with me being 25 miles away, you did every extra thing you could do to help me.

“Janice, you were and are truly a miracle worker.  You not only sold my mother’s home relatively quickly, but you comforted me along the way.

“I am so thankful to have found you.”

“My husband and I are very happy that we chose Janice Lipof to help us sell our house in Newton. She guided us through determining exactly when to put it on the market, how to get it ready, and how to price it to get the most competitive offers. She was always available for questions and support, especially with the emotional roller coaster that accompanied selling a house we'd owned for 30 years. The result was multiple offers and a selling price that we were very happy with. We can't recommend Janice enough to anyone who wants to work with a broker who is reliable, thorough, communicative and kind.”

“Last year, I was looking to purchase a 2-bedroom condo. Janice was constantly on top of the units as soon as they hit the market. She regularly sent me listings and discussed the pluses and minuses of each. She was very accommodating with my schedule and was able to make appointments for us to see the units quickly. She also provided me with a list of vendors and mortgage brokers, suggested an excellent closing attorney, and helped to facilitate the inspection. She helped with the negotiation process, and in the end, we found the perfect place. Janice was always open, honest, and professional.”

“As we began the selling process, Janice came to us with an excellent intuition and knowledge relative to the market in February/March. We had a neighbor who had expressed interest in buying our house. Janice very sensitively managed the process so that our neighbors always felt that they were being treated fairly and were not in competition with other potential buyers. Once it was determined that they would not purchase the house, Janice was off to the races in order to get all of the necessary details addressed quickly to get our house listed, open houses scheduled, offers received and finalized. I think you know that it was nine days from the day she listed the house until we signed the P&S. She would tell you that it was an easy house to sell, and we do not disagree with her. However, we truly do not believe that just anyone would have been so easily able to manage us, as anxious and naïve sellers, and achieve a sale price that was above asking! 

“In closing, our house would not have sold when it did and the price it did without Janice. She is truly a talented real estate agent and a talent that Hammond does not want to ever lose. Should she ever need a reference or should Hammond ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to ask. We are still in contact with Janice, which speaks volumes, and she knows how to reach us.”
