Why Work With Us?

“We had a very good experience working with Mona and Shari in selling our family home in Fisher Hill.  Most particularly, we felt that Mona had a better understanding of the Brookline market and pricing than other Realtors we interviewed.

“Originally we had assumed we would choose the Realtor who had originally handled the sale of our house when we bought it.  We were impressed by that Realtor's experience and longevity.  Upon meeting Mona, though, we felt she was better positioned.  Most particularly, we came to feel that Mona had a more nuanced understanding of the neighborhoods of Brookline, their characteristics and potential buyers and it felt like Mona understood those differences more clearly than other Realtors we interviewed.

“Ultimately the proof is in the pudding and for us, with Mona and Shari's help, we agreed on an offer within a few days of listing right at the price Mona had suggested.  In addition to knowledge and pricing, we found Mona and Shari to be responsive, punctual and professional.  They kept us on deadline when necessary and always held up their end of the process.”

“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.”
 

“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.”

“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.”

“It is my pleasure to write Mona Wiener the strongest possible reference as the best real estate agent in all of Brookline.

“We have known Mona for over seven years now. We bought a condo in the Cottage Farm area in November 2005 and came to know Mona as a seller’s agent. She was warm but laid-back, knowledgeable but non-assuming, and so helpful that we actually ended up seeking advice and help more from her than from our own agent after the sale.

“Mona is an iconic figure in Brookline real estate and she commands tremendous resources and knowledge about its market. This became evident even more, as over a three-year period during which our family began to grow, Mona relentlessly helped us find our dream house, which we eventually bought on Monmouth Street, around the corner from Colchester Street. She understood us extremely well and knew what kind of houses we were looking for.

“Then came the moment, after moved into our newly-renovated house on Monmouth, we would need to sell our original condo, unfortunately at the worst possible time at the bottom of the market in the summer of 2010. Thanks to Mona and her astute sense of the market and more importantly its potential buyers, we sold the place over one weekend for a price higher than what we paid for at the peak of the market back in 2005!

“We cannot simply imagine a better real estate agent than Mona. When one of our friends needed to buy a house in Brookline last summer, we naturally referred him to her. Again, she delivered a perfect purchase for his family.

“We would recommend Mona most highly for any real estate transaction in Brookline and we simply feel very fortunate that we stumbled upon her more than seven years ago.”

“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."

“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."

"It could have been a very difficult thing -- learning about Brookline and seeing houses in a narrow available window of time, managing the offer and closing process from the other side of the country.

"You have been great sources of support, cheer, and information throughout this process. Working with you gave us the confidence to make decisions and the boots on the ground to get them done!”

“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.”
