Why Work With Us?

"We met Marsha by chance several years ago when we first moved to the city and were looking for a rental. We had an instant connection with her and kept her details. Flash forward three years later, we were ready to buy a house and reached out on a whim. Marsha not only remembered us but jumped on board to help us navigate a crazy market. She not only helped us find an amazing house, in our preferred town, at our price point, and in less than two months, but she also somehow made the process fun! “Marsha is easily one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. She is thoughtful, funny, honest, considerate and so easy to be around. She always kept our priorities top of mind and was 100% available and responsive throughout a very intense search at a very challenging time. We looked at multiple houses every week! And when we weren’t at a showing, Marsha was researching and sending us listings. She made us feel as if we were her only clients, and she really cared about our search. “I can’t imagine going through this process with any other agent. We are so grateful to her for helping us buy our first house and we will only work with her in the future. Thank you, Marsha, you are the best!"

"When it was time to list our Chestnut Hill home for sale, there was only one real estate professional that we called -- Michele Friedler. Michele did not disappoint; she exceeded our expectations. Michele and her team provided outstanding knowledge, expertise, responsiveness, and interactions. From before the time our home was photographed, and a video of the property was performed, until the closing date for the sale, Michele and her team advised us as to next steps and expectations.

“Michele Friedler's extensive knowledge of the local real estate market, and her vast network of real estate professionals, along with her dynamic team, allowed for an extremely smooth sale of our home. We highly recommend The Michele Friedler Team."

"Brenda van der Merwe is the Real Estate Agent you have been looking for! It is our pleasure to write this review on her behalf.

We have been working with Brenda for more than 6 years now. Brenda helped us purchase our first home and now we are in the process of working together again in the search for another one.

During all these years, Brenda have developed even more skills, knowledge and professionalism in her area of expertise. We are always impressed with her quick responses and updates about neighborhoods and properties. Brenda is a great advocate for her customers and works in their best interest. If you are first time home buyer she would walk you through the whole process of loan approval to closing on your dream home. We highly recommend Brenda to anyone there who is looking for a Real Estate Professional!"

"Zach is an AWESOME agent! He always answered his phone and replied to emails swiftly. He had a really good understanding of the local market and understood what we were looking for. Zach is patient and worked hard for us. We could not be happier with the process. We would recommend and utilize him again! Thank you, Zach!"

“Aliza is a great real estate agent! She is very knowledgeable about the entire buying and selling process and has great contacts and advice to deal with anything that comes up along the way. Her calm demeanor helps get through the emotional turmoil of selling a house.”

“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.”

“I deal and have dealt with umpteen Realtors in 47 years.  May I compliment you in possessing all the qualities and personality that a good broker should possess.  Nice working with you on the Nahanton deal from buyer 1 to completion.”

We are very thankful for your handling our home sale. Because you helped us to purchase this home more than 16 years ago, we had no doubt that you would also be the agent we chose to handle the sale.

As this was our first time selling a property, we were particularly interested in handling the sale in the most professional manner. And we were not surprised that you took care of every detail. The sale itself did not require much involvement from us and went flawlessly. You handled all showings and interacted with potential buyers while giving us proper advice on the process so we knew what would happen and when.

We will certainly work with you again when we buy our next property!

"As first time home buyers, my husband and I were (and will likely continue to be) clueless as to the methods and process of purchasing a home. We did what you would expect your first time home buyers do -- check out zillow/trulia/redfin, go to open houses, then go home and forget exactly what we saw/learned at these websites and house visits. We knew we needed to buy a house, but there was no push/incentive to do so -- until we found out we were expecting a baby. "This is how Zach entered our lives. He was highly recommended by a colleague of mine and so I thought to call him and make an appointment. I called on a weekday and THAT weekend, he had put together a comprehensive list of houses that were within our price range and desired location. He looked at each house with us and was very helpful in providing a pro/cons list per house. "When we finally selected the house we wanted, he recommended the inspector, mortgage lender, and lawyer -- all of whom were AWESOME! He held our hand with each and every step - from how to make an offer, to how to negotiate pricing, to vendors/service providers recommendations. "The one thing that stood out was Zach's responsiveness. I have a Type A personality and I'm not a patient woman. Whenever I had a question, Zach responded within minutes! If he did not know the answer immediately, he would respond by telling me he will find out the answer and will get back to me in a few. We (especially me) appreciated this tremendously! Buying a house is stressful enough and having a responsive Realtor really makes a difference!"

“Thank you, Kathy, Ann Marie, and Pierre and the team for working so diligently with us. We appreciate the expertise, professionalism, and guidance that was provided throughout this process.”
