Why Work With Us?

"Dear Kathy and Michael: We wanted to thank you for helping us find our beautiful new home. I learned a great deal about the area during my car rides with you, and appreciate the time you spent making me more comfortable with the Brookline/Newton area. We hope to keep in touch with you and are looking forward to our Boston walking tour!"

“Mike: Thanks for all your wonderful help getting our home sold and for going above and beyond along the way. We really appreciate you and all the help you gave us and for being a great friend. Onwards to the next chapter, wherever that may be!“

"MR was great navigating a very drastic shift from a sellers to a buyers market just as we listed.  He was super patient as we figured out a path that included pricing and listing changes.  He went above and beyond with many recommendations on what we should and should NOT do to maximize the marketability of the house in a rough market.  The icing on the cake was getting the sale done at the peak of the market freeze during the summer and allowing us to complete our move to Vermont with the house sale behind us.  Cannot recommend him enough!"

--L.G. & D.G., Newton

“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! “

“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 after the papers were signed. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience into something exciting and seamless.

"I cannot recommend Michael and Kathy highly enough. They go above and beyond for their clients, and I feel so grateful to have worked with them." 

--I.M.C., Brookline

"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."

"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 to list, show, and sell our home and prepare to move to our new one! There's no better Realtor we've met!”

"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, realistic outlook.

"Remarkably, I met him on a Tuesday afternoon, and by the following Monday, my offer was accepted on my dream home. I believe this was only possible because of Michael’s extensive experience, strong reputation as a top agent in Newton, and exceptional work ethic. From Friday, when I first saw the house, to the offer being accepted on Monday, Michael was in constant contact, including coordinating with my mortgage broker, arranging a pre-inspection, and helping me strategically bid.

"Even after our offer was accepted, Michael continued to guide me—recommending a lawyer, answering mortgage and insurance questions, and suggesting contractors. He was there for me 100% throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend him."
