Why Work With Us?

“Thanks to you all. In a sane world, we would be giving hugs, and opening a bottle of champagne, all with abundant appreciation!

"Thank you for the heavy lifting – handling the movers, the open permits, all the back and forth. Yes, we knew you were the ones to help us. You made this possible. The wire transfer just hit, so we feel like Yes, it’s champagne time.

“Take care during these troubling times.”

"Vicky Whitney had worked on the sale of a condo for my mother approximately 10 years ago, so when it was time to sell, we looked no further than The Whitney Group with Vicky and her daughter, Blake. It was a challenge for me as I live out of state, but they made the process incredibly smooth, even when we found some issues with the condo that needed to be fixed. 

“They are not only very professional, but responsive, easy to work with and were able to find people to do any work necessary to complete the sale.

“I would highly recommend this great team!" 

“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.”

“I have known Karen for many years as we attended high school together. When we interviewed several Realtors for this sale I knew immediately that Karen and Tim were the best choice for making a reliable sale for my property in Chestnut Hill. They have many years’ experience in Middlesex County real estate, many established professional connections, and a relaxed, generous style that made the experience way more than a ‘transaction.’ Tim was able to facilitate some of the repair work that was needed to complete the sale. Karen arranged a contact for efficient and reasonably-priced legal work. Their friendly manner and knowledge of pricing the real estate at the best price for the quickest sale was right on the money. Before the photos even went up on the real estate page we had a buyer. We closed in a month with no complications whatsoever. I would highly recommend Karen and Tim's services and would work with them again should the opportunity arise.”

“We deeply appreciate all the efforts you committed to our family in the sale of our home. We are blessed to have you as our broker and friend. Thank you!”

“Thank you for your incredible guidance and advice that made it possible for us to buy our new home in Brookline! We loved spending time at the new house today. Ella in particular enjoyed walking in the big open rooms, climbing the stairs, and sliding on her belly on the floors.
 
“We just opened your gift tonight and are so touched by your thoughtfulness – it’s  beautiful! You truly went above and beyond with all that you did for us! We will definitely be recommending you highly to all of our friends.
 
“We look forward to seeing you in the neighborhood and staying in touch!”

“Eileen, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated working with you on 189 Walnut. You really stood out to me as a quality Realtor in the 12 years that I’ve been doing this. Thanks for being understanding about the inspector no-show/non-cancellation. Also, thanks for being genuinely helpful from beginning to end. It’s obvious to me that being helpful is one of your true gifts, and you demonstrated that the entire way. I can see why you have been so successful over the years. I hope to run into you again down the road, but I wanted to take the time to affirm you because I don’t run into Realtors that exhibit your positive qualities everyday.”

“Zach was fantastic to work with! We moved to Boston from the Midwest with a vague list of things we did and did not want, but no real knowledge of what we could afford or where. From the very beginning, it was clear that Zach was the right person to guide us in our real estate transaction. He's engaging, thoughtful and measured, he knows exactly what he's doing, and he is the kind of partner everyone should be lucky enough to work with. He helped us through every step of the process, always making himself available, always calming us down when we needed it, and keeping us positive and determined when we hit a bump in the road. He was the voice of reason in what was, for us, a very significant life event. My wife and I can't recommend him highly enough and would be happy to provide more details to anyone who's considering working with Zach.”

"Michelle helped us sell our home in Brookline. She was kind, responsive, and clearly had the entire process under control. I am confident that she got us the best deal possible. She did a great job organizing the open house and it led to multiple offers. She did a great job of steering us through P&S, even though some strange (but minor) issues cropped up. Most impressive, she helped make sure our home would be ready for closing. The fire alarm inspection was complicated, as the fire department had a strange hold on our file that turned out to be a mistake. Like everything else, she had that under control and sure enough, we were ready for closing in plenty of time. Thank you so much, Michelle, for all your help!"

"Barrie is incredible. She helped us find and purchase the perfect home for us and sell our home to enable that purchase. She found a private listing for the house we purchased and then skillfully negotiated to get our offer accepted. Once that offer was accepted, she got our current house on the market in five days, with several solid offers within days of listing. She was our guide, our counselor, and our strategist. She thought about how to price, how to market, how to negotiate and how to close the deal. She brings so much experience and expertise - and a massive network of contacts to help with staging, marketing, inspections, etc. 

“She held our hand through what was one of the most nerve-wracking things we've ever done, always providing calm, reasoned answers but also always telling it to us straight. Most of all, Barrie is just eminently trustworthy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!"
