Why Work With Us?

“When we decided we wanted to buy a home in the Brighton area, we knew it would be a challenging process. We were so delighted to have Maxine Freedman guide us every step of the way. She explained the process to us in a clear and comprehensive manner and gave us the tools to figure out what was important to us when looking for a house. When we found our dream home, we had the opportunity to buy it directly from the owner. However, we chose to seek Maxine’s counsel in guiding us through the purchase. One might think it would cost more to hire an agent in that situation, but it actually saved us money because Maxine was able to help us negotiate smartly while staying on good terms with the seller. It was well worth the investment!

“She also led us through the home buying process without a glitch. She is well-connected to attorneys, inspectors, contractors, and mortgage brokers who were all very helpful throughout the process. With her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail, she was there for us from the day we started searching to the day of the closing. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a home, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Thank you so very much! We were so pleased with the way in which you handled the sale of our home from our first introduction through to the closing. We especially appreciated your ability to stage the property, show it, and bring the transaction to a timely and smooth close. Your professionalism was evident and made the entire process really quite pleasant. We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend you to friends.”

“I’ve worked with Michael on 6 transactions over the past 30 years. The first transaction was the sale of a condo during a soft market, making it a particular challenge. but he succeeded! He’s been both my buying and selling broker, He always gets top dollar after putting great thought and research into pricing it and promoting it properly. He’s very honest. During each transaction, there’s no question that he’s focused, committed, and he works tirelessly and at all hours of the day to close the transaction to both the buyer’s and seller’s delight. During my next transaction he’ll be my broker again!”

“We knew Michael to be honest and hard-working, so it was a no-brainer to choose him as our broker! Every aspect of the process went smoothly; Michael was there if we needed advice or had any questions.”

“Barrie – the best combination of knowledge, intelligence, patience, and wit. She took every effort in understanding our requirements of a single-family home and its neighborhood, at times also knocking sense into me when I went overboard with my requirements in a place like Newton. With every house she showed us, she did all the research around it and presented it to us with all its known pros and cons. She is not one of those pressing agents who won’t give you space to breath or think; she is the exact opposite of that. Her advice and negotiating skills proved very valuable to us in ultimately getting us the home we were looking for. I highly recommend Barrie for your real estate needs.”

“Sandra was our lifeline when it came to real estate. She knows the Newton market like the back of her hand, is direct and won't steer you wrong. My wife and I would never have got our home without her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and thoughtfulness guiding us through this process were second to none. She's one of the kindest people we've had the pleasure to meet since moving to Boston. We can't recommend getting to know her enough.”

"From start to finish you went above and beyond. Your guidance, perspective, and expertise at the beginning of the process set the groundwork for an outstanding outcome. I was a trusted advisor on the outside looking in (albeit at times you may have felt like I was on the inside!) and from my perspective you were fantastic…your recommendations on, and coordination of, what work to do on the house, how to stage the property, the professional photo shot, the pricing, the listing, the open houses and the strategic negotiation of the counter offer...just to name a few. The house sold so fast and for so much greater then ask!” “You exceeded my very high expectations…thank you again for everything!”

"My wife and I have had many agents represent us in the past and Amy is the best representative we have come across. She recently helped us buy a home after over 1.5 years of looking at many houses. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, responsive and a great problem-solver. She also has helped us get multiple tenants at our rental properties. She qualifies the tenants very carefully and always has our best interests in mind. “I highly recommend Amy for a home purchase and sale as well as rentals. I will definitely keep working with Amy in the future."

"Amy is a responsible and experienced Realtor that can represent buyers on behalf of their needs and interests. She is effective and responsive, which made our purchase process fast and smooth."

"I have worked with Zach for a few years, for buying my own home and rental property. During this time, I was very happy to learn that Zach is a very experienced broker in this area. He is always attentive to our needs, very patient, and helpful during the negotiation process. His enthusiasm, diligence, and constructive advice have made him my go-to broker who I would recommend to anyone without hesitation."
