Why Work With Us?

“It was so great to work with the Team and we can’t thank you enough for all your guidance and support throughout this process. Your expertise was invaluable!”

“We just received the good news that we are on record. Thank you SO MUCH for all your help with our house! Wishing you the very best.”

“Thanks to all of you for everything! We feel a big sense of relief now that the wire with the funds went through. The sale was a much bigger success than we ever thought it would be, thanks to your efforts. We also really appreciate you helping us find our new home before it went on market and getting in during construction. And with being so patient with us throughout the building process. 

“We hope this year continues to be successful for you. We will be sure to refer you to anyone we know looking in the future!”

“Kathy, Ann Marie, and Pierre were wonderful to work with. We were first-time home buyers and new to the Newton area, and Kathy went above and beyond to give us a tour of Newton and its villages in an effort to help us narrow down our desired location. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about comps and general market activity and we never felt pressured by them to act too quickly or to overbid.

“They were incredibly honest during the offer process. It’s hard to imagine buying a home without such a knowledgeable and helpful team on our side!

“Moreover, even post-closing, they have been so gracious in providing recommendations for all sorts of homeowner-related items – from painters to closet installation to plumbing and general handyman services. They are incredible resources and really a full-service operation. They go the extra mile to make the entire home-buying process – from the start and through and beyond closing – as seamless as can be. Highly recommend Kathy, Ann Marie, and Pierre!”

“Ann Marie and the Krongel-Paul Team are a joy to work with. They have deep market knowledge and are fair, honest, and creative. They are wonderful advocates and negotiators and have helped me achieve great outcomes as both buyer and seller in a number of transactions. And they are a pleasure to work with.”

“Thanks to you all. In a sane world, we would be giving hugs, and opening a bottle of champagne, all with abundant appreciation!

"Thank you for the heavy lifting – handling the movers, the open permits, all the back and forth. Yes, we knew you were the ones to help us. You made this possible. The wire transfer just hit, so we feel like Yes, it’s champagne time.

“Take care during these troubling times.”

“I appreciated the work of each team member and, especially, the problem solving and positive attitude of Pierre in getting the job done.”

“My experience with Kathy, Ann Marie, and Pierre was pleasant and extremely gratifying. Selling your home can be stressful and exhausting but Hammond’s agents made me feel confident and minimized my concerns because of their professionalism and personal approach.”

“We were exceptionally fortunate to have the 5-Star services of The Hammond Team (Kathy Krongel, Ann Marie Paul and Pierre Johnsson). They organized a weekend open house and on Monday we accepted an offer (with no contingencies!) for more than the asking price. The closing took place one month later.  

“This is the most success that a seller could ask for. And then there were endless services that led up to this successful sale: house preparation advice (starting months before we signed a Realtor agreement), house staging, a significant and realistic asking price recommendation, extensive marketing (local, national and international), final clean-out assistance, smoke/CO detector inspection assistance, mover and attorney recommendations, necessary additional support during the unusual pandemic complications and much more. They are a remarkably capable, professional team.”

"We enthusiastically recommend the Krongel and Paul Team if you are considering selling your house! We sold our home during the pandemic quickly and for an excellent price. Their experience and knowledge guided us through the process of decluttering, cosmetic repairs and staging. They helped us every step of the way and made many suggestions that really made our house look great.

“Thank you Kathy, Pierre and Ann Marie!”
