Why Work With Us?

“Maxine was instrumental in the sale of our apartment. It was a complex situation, with COVID and our being out of town during most of the process -- so Maxine took charge of getting the place ready for the showing, going above and beyond to get tradespeople in to make sure the apartment would show at its very best.

“Her regular updates, advice, and insights on the process and the market, as well as all the effort she put in, were invaluable. She is a ‘people person,’ putting her all into serving her clients' interests -- and it shows. “Thank you, Maxine - we couldn't have done it without you."

“Maxine served us with the highest caliber of professionalism and expertise in our purchase, from beginning to end, and continuing beyond. Her patience, promptness and staying in the picture throughout the entire process, while also keeping in ongoing communication with us to see to it that we were keeping up with tasks which were on us to complete, made the process reassuring and pleasant for us.

"From higher priority tasks such as mandatory signings to simple impromptu check-ins with us, she was constantly in the picture and responsive to any inquiries we had along the way. Her associates and recommendations for general house upkeep were fabulous and of incredible service to us. There is no doubt we chose the right Realtor (and hope others do the same!)."

“As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process of finding a house, but Mrs. Freedman held our hands every step of the way. She helped us understand what we were looking for and she found a listing that met all of our requirements. She worked with us to put in an offer and thanks to her efforts, our bid was accepted before someone else took the property.

“She also referred us to a couple of great lawyers and loan officers. During the walk-through, she told us what to look out for and which questions to ask. After we bought the property, she followed up with us to ensure that we were settled in and helped us work out the issues that arose. We were very happy with our experience with Mrs. Freedman and would recommend her to other homebuyers and sellers.”

“When we decided we wanted to buy a home in the Brighton area, we knew it would be a challenging process. We were so delighted to have Maxine Freedman guide us every step of the way. She explained the process to us in a clear and comprehensive manner and gave us the tools to figure out what was important to us when looking for a house. When we found our dream home, we had the opportunity to buy it directly from the owner. However, we chose to seek Maxine’s counsel in guiding us through the purchase. One might think it would cost more to hire an agent in that situation, but it actually saved us money because Maxine was able to help us negotiate smartly while staying on good terms with the seller. It was well worth the investment!

“She also led us through the home buying process without a glitch. She is well-connected to attorneys, inspectors, contractors, and mortgage brokers who were all very helpful throughout the process. With her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail, she was there for us from the day we started searching to the day of the closing. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a home, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Maxine’s help proved to be instrumental in buying an off-market property. Her ability to understand our needs as the buyer as well as the seller’s, is what ultimately pushed everything through. Without Maxine knowing how to navigate the delicate situation and ultimately bring together buyer and seller, this would have never been possible.

“Maxine was our lifeline as we went through the home purchase process. She was extremely patient as we took time to find our home and did not push us in any direction. She was professional, astute, and kind. Most of all, she is extremely trustworthy and we always felt as if she had our own personal interests as her priority. Would highly recommend!”

"Our home-buying process would have been nearly impossible without Maxine. She made herself easily available and gave 100% of her effort, while staying cheerful the whole time. We worked with Maxine from the first ‘what do we want’ checklists, through open-houses, making an offer, negotiating the P&S, and straight through closing -- a process that took several years, and she patiently helped the whole time. She helped us negotiate price, timeline, mortgage, inspections, and more, while staying professional and upbeat (even when we were exasperated with the process). Maxine is great and we highly recommend her."

"Maxine has been a wonderful and thorough agent who has provided needed insight based on our specific needs. We originally hired Maxine to help us identify investment properties in the Brighton, Allston, and Newton area. She provided a lot of valuable advice when it came to selecting an appropriate property for newbies. When we decided to shift gears and search for a new primary residence, she was able to transition and help us find our new home. She is a well-respected Realtor and so when we were shopping and mentioned her name, it was clear to us that the sellers knew we were serious buyers. She also was helpful in selling our previous residence. She provided excellent advertising and staging services which led to multiple offers for our home."

“My wife and I recently sold our home in Boston, and had the pleasure of working with Maxine Freedman as our agent. This was our first time selling a house, and we really had no idea what to expect. Maxine made the process as smooth and as carefree as realistically possible. She was so knowledgeable every step of the way.

“She helped us plan how to stage our home in order to make it attractive to different types of potential buyers. She guided us to take out a home equity line of credit to use towards purchasing our new home, without first having to sell our present one. This made the moving process so much easier, since we could pick a date of our choice. She helped us navigate how to handle different offers, without getting our expectations too high. Maxine also helped us navigate the necessary fire alarm inspection certificate, and required final water bill payments, all things that we really knew nothing about.

“Selling a home during this current pandemic was particularly challenging. Yet throughout it all, Maxine was always pleasant to deal with, and we looked forward to her frequent phone calls, alerting us about the next upcoming issue that we would have to be dealing with. We are happy to give her a strong recommendation and encourage anyone seeking a friendly expert broker to utilize her services.”

“I have bought a number of properties and Maxine Freedman clearly was the best agent I have worked with. For me, she was a buyer’s agent. From initial engagement to follow through at the closing, she is thorough and professional in the process. She takes the time to understand the goals of you, the customer, and makes sure she supports you in your buying goal. She proves good data to help support your buy decision. She never pressures you to make the deal. I would without hesitation work with her again.”

“After unsuccessfully looking for a house by ourselves we decided to go with Maxine. She took the time and patience to help us understand what we were looking for in a home. As first-time homebuyers, we relied on her to explain the process in detail. She did so with care and professionalism. She came with us to open houses, helped us think through our choices, and answered any questions we had. Maxine was crucial to helping us understand the Boston market and navigate conversations with our sellers, lawyers, inspectors, and lender. We found a beautiful house, and got our offer accepted thanks to her advice, in a great neighborhood thanks to her, and would highly recommend her to anyone! We have been living in our new home for many months and are very happy with our decision.”
