Why Work With Us?

"Zach was a great Realtor who helped us so much through the first-time home buying process. He was ready to answer any questions at all hours with a great deal of knowledge. He was always so quick to respond which really helped put our concerns at ease whenever something arose. As a first-time homebuyer, this process was so confusing, and Zach cleared up every question I had. He recommended great people to work with throughout the process as well to ensure we had a smooth escrow. Can't recommend him enough and if we ever end up selling or buying again, we'll definitely come back to Zach!"

"We were so fortunate to work with Zach on the purchase of our first house. He is experienced, honest and accessible. We would not be happily settled in our home today without him. After working with us for several months, he dropped everything on a Saturday afternoon when the perfect house for us came on the market. He helped us quickly draft a competitive offer, reached out to the seller's agent to express our strong interest and helped us win the house over several other bidders. “We are so grateful for Zach's efforts, and highly recommend him to anyone overwhelmed and discouraged with the seemingly Herculean task of buying a house in the Boston area.”

"Barrie helped us find our home in Wellesley when we moved out from the city. We had been looking on our own for ages in Brookline and Newton, and she helped us focus our search and get organized. When we made a sudden switch to looking in Wellesley, she was flexible and knowledgeable about the market in Wellesley. She also never gave us the 'hard sell,' which was important to us. She wanted to make sure that we found a house that met our needs and would make us happy, and really took the time to do that. We wound up in a competitive bidding situation, and Barrie guided us through with experience and common sense. Though our offer was not much higher than the others, it was accepted because she helped us put together an attractive offer that appealed to the sellers. We started the process skeptical of using a broker, and wound up being very satisfied with our experience with Barrie. She was warm and a pleasure to deal with, and I would not hesitate to recommend her."

“So sweet of you to leave flowers!! ... You were the nicest person to deal with. We appreciate all you have accomplished for us. If you ever come to Cape Cod give us a call!”

“Many thanks to all of you, and, of course, especially Kathy, for your support, good cheer and faith that this, too, would end and end well, and mostly for caring about me as a person who is going through a difficult transition. It's always a challenge to put the past behind you and to say au revoir but never goodbye to the people who have meant so much to you. But I am now settling into my new home, able to find everything I need to eat and sleep well and more, and looking forward to my next chapter.”

Kathy Krongel and Ann Marie Paul recently helped us with the purchase of our ‘forever’ home in Wellesley. Phil and I had been looking, unsuccessfully, for a home for over 8 months. It had started to get discouraging, but when we started working with Kathy and Ann Marie (about 2 months ago) everything seemed to get a bit easier.  They have years of experience and it really showed in the advice they gave us and the homes they showed us. They were realistic with us when we needed it, but also gave us confidence that we would find the right home for our family. With such a crazy housing market, we always felt that we were getting a straight answer and good recommendations, ultimately making the process to buy the home a lot less scary and overwhelming. 

“One of the biggest benefits is that they have made the purchase process quite smooth. From the moment we honed in our home, they got us into see it early, they helped us quickly put in an offer and the right paperwork and have set us up with a great team of inspectors, contractors and other help along the way. They are always available via email, phone and text whenever we have had questions along the way, giving us confidence in all the decisions we were making. 

“While I hope that we don't move for quite a long time, I would absolutely recommend Kathy and Ann Marie. They were tremendous for exactly what we needed when we needed it.”

“Ava is by far the ONLY agent you should consider working with. I have known her through the real estate business for the last 15 years. The last 10 years I worked with her cross-country from California. She acted not only as my agent but at times had to be my personal representative. I trusted her with my homes, keys and the management of all aspects of the sales process. She was meticulous and her attention to detail exceeds any expectation. “She KNOWS how to get a property sold and FAST. Her quiet yet persistent manner gets RESULTS. She listened and always acted on my personal behalf with my best interest at heart. I could not have managed without her help these last several years. There will be no replacement for Ava in California…I wish I could transplant her here!”

"We are very grateful to have engaged Debby in our search for a home for our young family. Debby was incredibly responsive to any question and made herself available to join us with every listing we wanted to see. In this extremely competitive environment for buyers, Debby guided us with honest and helpful insights. Her expertise was so critical as we were looking at homes for the first time and didn't know exactly what we were looking for. Debby did not pressure us at any point and walked us through every detail and educated us on how to make thoughtful offers. We ultimately had an offer accepted on a home that we are very excited about and feel confident that our purchase price was appropriate -- and Debby was there every step of the way. “Debby has a vast network of bankers, attorneys, inspectors, contractors, and more that she introduced us to during the closing process. We continue to be in touch with Debby as she is a phenomenal resource and even better person! Thank you, Debby, we look forward to seeing you around Town!"

“Thank you for your guidance through this process of listing/selling my home that I have lived in for 16 years. Your intuitive guidance and understanding the needs of the buyers is truly remarkable! Your patience and calmness made me feel at ease at some of the most difficult times. You have a real ‘knack’ for knowing the market, between pricing it just right and just the right time to list it, which made a huge difference. This was instrumental for my success!”

“Tedi has done an amazing job helping our family either buy or sell our homes in Newton. I think the total transactions might be 8 at this time and each one was easily executed by Tedi. There are no words to describe how efficient, caring, helpful, attentive, and stressless she has made each sale. Emails and phone calls are answered in minutes. She is eager to give advice and willing to try it our way in some instances. She has sold our dad’s 100-year old house in an evening; she has sold our mother’s condo in an evening; and she has sold our house and condo during tough markets in very short periods of time. She does it with class and with an ease that is hard to describe.

“Tedi goes beyond what you expect from most brokers. She gives the whole process her undivided attention and will make you feel you are her only customer. Her photos and descriptions are wonderful. She captured the beauty and love we had for our homes. She made each sale special.

“My only regret is that we have no more homes for her to sell in Newton. Thank you so much, Tedi. You are so exceptional!”
