Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
“Mona would be a fantastic agent for anyone looking to buy or sell in Brookline. Her knowledge of the housing market here is unmatched. She had the perfect instincts for pricing, staging, and showing our house, and her strong relationships with other agents and potential buyers made the whole process go incredibly smoothly. Most importantly, she is a joy to work with, bringing a down-to-earth sensibility to the negotiation process that seemed to put everyone involved at ease. Having bought and sold three houses in the Boston area there is no one we would recommend more highly.”
-- Charles and Andreea C., February 2015
“It is my pleasure to recommend Mona Wiener and her daughter Shari. I found them to be superlative real estate agents.
“Last March I engaged Mona to sell my mother’s home in Brookline. I selected Mona after interviewing a number of very qualified brokers. She stood out as the best.
“She handled the engagement flawlessly. She advised me about preparation for sale, the need to price the property properly, and all aspects of the real estate sales process. She and Shari were fully engaged for three months - from the time I hired them until the closing. Ultimately the house sold well above the asking price.
“I highly recommend Mona and Shari -- they are consummate professionals.”
-- Peter Z., January 2015
“Mona, I am very happy to be able to write this letter of reference in support of your work as a real estate agent in Brookline. Contracting with you as my representative on the sale of my home was one of the wisest decisions that I made in 2014. You and your colleague, Shari, were extraordinarily helpful to me in every aspect of what can be a very challenging ordeal. In the face of my foot-dragging, you gently urged me to seize the right moment for placing my home up for sale. In reaction to a slow-moving market, you wisely advised me to make a difficult price adjustment -- which in retrospect was absolutely the right thing to do. Your input was also invaluable during the post-offer phase, when all manner of difficulties arose with various details of the transaction. I don't know what I would have done without you. You earned every cent of your commission.
“So, I feel confident saying that whoever has the good fortune to secure your services in the future -- they will not regret having done so.”
-- Glenn L., January 2015
“Mona and Shari were the seller's Realtors when we purchased our house in 2015, and we were so impressed with them during that process that we reached out when it was time for us to sell. We listed the house at a volatile time in the real estate market, and we were concerned because several houses on our street had been on the market for weeks without any movement. But we trusted in Mona and Shari's expertise to price and market our house in the best way. And sure enough, they priced it exactly right - we accepted a full-price offer just days after listing our house.
“Mona and Shari were so wonderful to work with throughout the process. They were very thoughtful in navigating the changing market and always honest with us about what we could expect. Their communication was excellent - they were easy to get a hold of and very responsive to our messages. When our lawyer found out which agents we were using, he called Mona and Shari ‘Brookline Real Estate Royalty,’ and he was exactly right! We highly recommend Mona and Shari to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Brookline."
-- Sara O. and Russ C., August 2022
“Mona and Shari Wiener were our brokers for our recent home sale in Brookline. They came highly recommended to us by a good friend, who told us unequivocally, ‘They are the best, use no one else!’ and he was right. Mona and Shari bring an incredible breadth of experience to their work. They know everything there is to know about the Brookline housing market. They gave us great advice about what we needed to do to get our home ready to put on the market. They have great connections and contacts, and everyone we contacted got right back to us when we used their names and they all did excellent work. The stager they referred us to was fabulous and they all worked seamlessly together, so I always felt I had a strong team behind me.
“Mona and Shari are both warm, down to earth and practical, with good senses of humor. They brought a calm, steady, reassurance to the entire process. I always felt like they had our best interests at heart. Mona and Shari have very strong relationships with other brokers and potential buyers, and incredible instincts about timing, pricing, and showing. Together they made a wonderful team. We were very happy with the final results and would use them again in a heartbeat!”

"We want to thank you both, separately and as a team, for all your careful work, great attitude, astute experience and sense of humor you brought to the process. You managed with confidence and cheer to get us through this very emotional process of selling our beloved home and moving out of state. My only complaint is that I won't be able to interact with you as much!
"You know what you are doing. You know the market, the trends and people and you came up with a selling price that allowed it to sell smoothly and quickly yet made us feel comfortable about its worth. We appreciated that you guided us in what we needed to fix, connected us to great contractors and allowed me to stage the house with what I have. And the bonus is this enabled us to leave it your hands and find a wonderful couple who will appreciate it -- I know that part is just good luck, but I'll give it to you both anyway!
"Thank you again for working with us and for all you did. And how lucky that you are able to work together as a team -- your talents dovetailed perfectly with each other. Please refer me to whomever might ask in the future."

“Mona and Shari are the most knowledgeable, experienced, and respected real estate agents in Brookline. In Brookline’s highly competitive market having the best real estate agent makes all the difference. As buyers, Mona and Shari helped us get our dream home in a very competitive market. They always had our best interest in mind and only let us buy a house that not only we love but would also be a good long-term investment. As sellers, Mona and Shari made the process incredibly seamless and fast. Selling a house can be a stressful and uncertain process, but with Mona and Shari we always felt we are in the best hands possible and couldn’t be happier with the outcome of both the selling and buying process. No wonder everyone in Brookline trusts and respects them.”

“I want to thank you ever so much for your help with the sale of my condo.
“Even though we only met once, I felt so comfortable and confident with you both as my agents. You understood I had already moved on from the condo and was interested in just moving forward with a sale.
“Your staging recommendation was spot on and I have no doubt that was a big lure for the condo, because as we know there is a large fee and the absence of washer/dryer working against it.
“Thank you for your help securing the offer and coaching me about how to proceed. The closing process was a bit tricky with the lender issue, the on-going assessments, etc. I am so grateful to have had agents who are so well known in the Brookline real estate community. I know that made a big difference and it also helped set my mind at ease.
“Thank you, I am very grateful to have made it past the closing and I know it couldn't have been done without you both.”
-- Hannah B., September 2018
“Shari and Mona are the ultimate team for any family looking to buy a new home. Shari is a mom and understands what young families need in a new house. Mona balances her perfectly with her decades of experience and no-nonsense advice (like my own mom would give me!). We were so grateful for Shari and Mona when we bought our home in Newton.
“We decided to relocate from the city with our two young children during a period of low housing inventory. Shari was so critical in helping us make the right decision for our family. She stopped us from making a rash decision and bidding on the wrong house for our needs even though inventory was low.
“When we did find our perfect home, she gave us the best advice about putting in the right offer (she stopped us again from making an emotional decision - totally the right move!). While buying a home is stressful, I seriously looked forward to seeing and talking with Shari - she is so warm and relatable as a mom. It was like having a good friend help us navigate through this crazy experience!”
--J. T., January 2024
“Working with Shari and Mona during our homebuying journey was the best decision that we ever made! They are honest, personable, warm, and really made us feel at ease throughout the whole experience. Shari and Mona took the time to understand what we did and did not want in a home and also offered loads of advice that we wouldn’t have known about as first-time homebuyers. We are so grateful for all of their help and guidance.”
