Why Work With Us?

"Irene helped us purchase our prior home. It was such a great experience that when we were looking to move again, there was no question that we would go back to Irene. This time, because of the pandemic, we decided to move into the new house before we sold the first one. We were able to fully capitalize on Concierge Home Sales to help us with the process and stage the house. Irene made the entire process seamless. She helped us with our new home contractor, mortgage broker, and real estate lawyer. Given our busy work schedules, she took the lead in getting the process settled in both homes. If or when we ever need to move again, we’d go to Irene. We cannot recommend Irene highly enough."

"My husband and I were buying a small house for our daughter. Brenda showed us the perfect home for our daughter one morning: we went for lunch and put it an offer that day! Sadly we were overbid on that one but within 3 weeks we found another perfect fit for Courtney and her dog and we were successful. Brenda responded Immediately to every call we made, guided us through the P&S and Tended to the closing with a recommendation of a reputable lawyer. Very professional and efficient plus knowledge of locales."

“My husband and I worked with Zach Christman and could not have had a more seamless and successful experience. Home buying and selling can be, and usually is, such a stressful life transition. We immediately trusted Zach with his extensive knowledge of the process. He was able to accommodate our busy scheduled and made this process easier for our family. He was always in close communications with us which made us feel that we were never left with an unanswered question. We purchased our dream home and sold our first home all in a short time frame thanks to all of Zach's help and guidance!”

“We have worked with Mary Lewitt on the sale of two homes and the purchase of three, and we are so glad that we had her by our side through it all. Mary cares for our family as if it were her own, and brings years of local knowledge and transaction experience to the table on our behalf. She works tirelessly to make herself available to our busy family whenever we need, deeply cares that we are getting what is best according to our interests, and manages our expectations based on what is reasonable in the context of the broader market or industry norms.

“Mary is special because she has decades-long relationships with all sorts of vendors that contribute meaningfully to each of our home purchase and sales. Not only does she treat us like family, but she also treats those critical service providers like family, too -- the way she conducts her business strongly aligns with our values and how we aspire to conduct our own business. She is a talented communicator and trustworthy to the utmost degree.”

“I have worked with Barrie several times in the last 7 years. She has sold two single family homes for us in Brookline and helped us purchase two homes.  She recommended contractors and stagers to prepare our homes for sale and utilized exceptional marketing materials that helped us sell our home within one week for an excellent price and managed the negotiations with expertise. 

“Barrie is the ultimate professional. She is caring, extremely knowledgeable and profoundly experienced. Everything with Barrie was seamless, from the open houses she ran to her deep network of inspectors, mortgage brokers, and repair people who were responsive on a moment's notice.  Selling and buying a house is very stressful and Barrie was always patient and understanding.

“Working with Barrie, it was very clear how highly regarded she is in the Greater Boston Real Estate market. I recommend Barrie unconditionally.”

“After raising 4 children in our Brookline home, my wife and I decided it was time for us to downsize.  Having been out of the real estate market for the past 26 years, we were looking for expert help to guide us through this difficult and emotional process.  We contacted four of the top Realtors based on recent sales to present us with proposals for marketing our property, and ended up selecting Mona and Shari Weiner of Hammond Residential to represent us.  We could not have made a better choice!

“Mona and Shari had the experience and historical knowledge of the marketplace to tell us everything we needed to know about how to sell our home for the highest price in the shortest amount of time.  A lot has changed since we bought our home, and Mona and Shari educated us on current trends among those buying homes today.  Selling a home is about more than just pricing. We were advised on the various phases of preparing our home for sale: Decluttering, cosmetic repairs, staging, etc.  

“Not only were these steps suggested, we were told how to complete them. Since going through 26 years’ worth of memories and accumulations can be daunting, Mona and Shari recommended top notch professionals in each area to help us if we felt like we couldn’t do it alone.
  
“Of course, pricing a home properly for sale is critical and Mona and Shari came with exceptional knowledge of the current marketplace, including detailed comparisons.  They didn’t try to dazzle us with outlandish price estimates but provided a reasoned and well thought out pricing strategy based on the current market, to maximize foot traffic in order to find the right buyers.  

“Everything they told us was spot on!

“The best part about working with them was that their services didn’t end upon signing the P&S.  There are many unknown steps in getting to closing and Mona and Shari were there all along the way.  They set up appointments for the building inspection, the pest inspection, water meter readings, smoke detector inspections, etc.  They were organized, efficient and prompt, and relieved us of the burden of having to deal with many of these hassles.  They also seemed well-connected to make each step go smoothly.  When glitches did pop up (as they often do) Mona and Shari were calm, reassuring and extremely insightful in how best to deal with the stumbling point. 

“In the end, we sold our home quickly, at an excellent price and closed uneventfully at a convenient time for us.  Mona and Shari were the perfect pair to represent us and we highly recommend them to anyone selling their home.”

"Zach was introduced to us and we immediately felt like we'd known him forever. He took extra efforts to learn what who we were so he could get a better understanding of the type of home we needed, not just for now but also as we grew as a family. Zach was very thoughtful when sharing properties to review, helping to highlight ones that really would be a good fit for our family. He went above and beyond, actually checking out a few homes for us and saving us time by taking photos and videos to help rule out places that wouldn't work for us. He has extensive knowledge of the areas where we were looking and was able to help us secure our home as quickly as possible. I've recommended Zach to everyone who is looking for a home throughout Massachusetts as he is a trusted resource I'd go to for any real estate need."

"We recently purchased our home in Brookline with the help of your truly fantastic agent: Aliza Dash. “As you are well aware, the housing market in Brookline is highly competitive with very low inventory. We have been looking for a perfect home in Brookline for several years. Aliza always alerted us as soon as and often well before a potential property that fit our criteria came on the market. Due to the competitiveness of the Brookline housing market, it was sometimes frustrating not to get our offers accepted, but Aliza has always been very patient and her exuberant personality made our much extended house hunting experience pleasant and educational. Throughout these years, Aliza's exceptional knowledge in real estate enabled us to have a much better understanding of the market, so we could make an informed decision without hesitation. Aliza's strong communication skills combined with her pleasant and persuasive negotiation strategies cemented our purchase and sale agreement with the sellers recently. “After several years of house hunting together with Aliza, we feel that we have become really good friends and we completely trust her knowledge and judgment. Needless to say that we are extremely happy with our recent purchase and we will highly recommend Aliza to any of our friends who are interested in looking for a perfect home in Brookline.”

“I had a fantastic experience working with Janice Lipof. From the moment I decided to put my house on the market to the closing, Janice was responsive and extremely helpful. She led me through every step of the process and went well above and beyond in making the sale successful. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of the sale as well as Janice's attention to detail, communication and assistance with so many aspects of the process.  

“I highly recommend Janice for your real estate needs.  She is extremely competent in what she does and also just a pleasure to work with.”

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Alice Norton and Maria Pazmany of Hammond Residential. Alice and Maria were so informative and supportive during the very stressful time of selling a home. They constantly kept us informed about similar properties on the market in our area and fluctuating real estate conditions. We often spoke on the phone several times a day. They were very diligent about holding open houses every Sunday and bringing by interested sellers to see our condo during the week. They devoted so much time and energy to our home sale that the whole process moved forward with great efficiency. Alice and Maria took such a personal interest in our lives and they not only included us in all of the meticulous details of the condo sale, they made sure that we understood all of the steps along the way. We felt as though they were concerned only with what was best for us and they did everything they could to make us have the most positive home selling experience. I would highly recommend Alice and Maria of Hammond Residential and we plan on using only their services in the future."
