Why Work With Us?

“When we chose Ezra as the broker for the sale of our house in Brookline, it was the first time in nearly 17 years that we had been in the real estate market. Much has changed and Ezra walked us through those changes, describing how they affected the reality of marketing property in today's technical and economic environment. After that he put together a comprehensive marketing plan, including positioning and pricing. We adopted his plan and it worked exceedingly well, yielding multiple above-asking-price offers in three days. 

“After accepting an offer for the property, Ezra worked through the process, including preparing for the fire department inspection, recommending vendors where necessary and ensuring that all deadlines were met and all boxes ticked. His comprehensive understanding of the market, marketing, post-sale and closing processes and his commitment to service, hard work, collaboration and clear and timely communication made the whole experience as predictable and stress-free as it could be. 

“We would choose to work with Ezra again should the opportunity arise and wholeheartedly recommend him to other Brookline area home sellers.”

"It could have been a very difficult thing -- learning about Brookline and seeing houses in a narrow available window of time, managing the offer and closing process from the other side of the country.

"You have been great sources of support, cheer, and information throughout this process. Working with you gave us the confidence to make decisions and the boots on the ground to get them done!”

“I’d like to commend the team of Maureen Walsh and Bridget Walsh-Graham for an experience that was truly exemplary. It's been over two months since the closing of our parents’ home in Newton, yet my sister, Jackie, my brother, Bobby, and I will forever remain grateful to them. 

“Maureen and Bridget are knowledgeable, personable, empathetic, responsive, and totally in touch with the realities of the marketplace. It's no wonder that we continually found their advice to be nothing short of invaluable.

“We're particularly grateful for the assistance they provided in advance of the listing. After 53 years of ownership there was much to consider, especially in terms of prospective repairs, but we never felt confused, thanks to Maureen and Bridget. They told us what to fix, what to avoid, how much to spend, and precisely whom to hire. They even took it upon themselves to effectively manage most projects. Now how's that for going above and beyond?!

“They saved us time, they saved us money, they helped us to maximize our sales price, and they helped us to prevent a lot of needless aggravation. Oh, yes, they also sold our parents’ house in 3 days!  Maureen and Bridget are simply the best and we plan to recommend them at every opportunity.”

“Mona would be a fantastic agent for anyone looking to buy or sell in Brookline. Her knowledge of the housing market here is unmatched. She had the perfect instincts for pricing, staging, and showing our house, and her strong relationships with other agents and potential buyers made the whole process go incredibly smoothly. Most importantly, she is a joy to work with, bringing a down-to-earth sensibility to the negotiation process that seemed to put everyone involved at ease. Having bought and sold three houses in the Boston area there is no one we would recommend more highly.”

“I am the former owner of a large four family, Victorian house in Brookline. I bought the house many years ago and converted it into four condo units, all different sizes with different luxurious amenities. Each time I have put a unit on the market I used the services of Alice Norton of Hammond Residential. She has given me excellent advice on pricing my units and preparing the units for sale and has assisted me in the process of securing the necessary inspections. This last process has been especially important to me since I now live in California and have not been able to be at the house for various inspections. Each of my units has sold quickly and with no problems in the closing process. I credit the beauty of my units as well as the constant support of my real estate agent with these successful outcomes. In addition to her expertise, Alice is an especially lovely human being who I now count as a friend and I would heartily recommend her to anyone seeking out a unit or putting a property up for sale.”
 

“Eileen’s professional experience combined with her knowledge of Brookline and her positive attitude gave me confidence in the unsettling process of selling my condo last year.  She has all the right moves and is a very interesting and nice person as well!”

“We are very thankful that we had the opportunity to work with Barrie.  She sold our condo in Newton while we relocated to Atlanta.  She was absolutely amazing and was in constant communication with us.  She made us feel at ease and completely confident at the sale of our home at all times.  During a time that can be stressful, especially since we were already in Atlanta, she kept us up to date daily on the progress of our home. 

“We were very impressed with her ambition, passion and patience.  We feel very blessed and fortunate that Barrie Wheeler was our Realtor during this time.  Thank you, Barrie!”

“I listed my home with Shelley Barron and could not have had a more pleasant experience. In addition to pricing my home appropriately, she assisted me throughout the whole home-selling process. This included staging, marketing and negotiating the best offer possible. She is a true professional who is both patient and energetic. “I am presently looking for a new home and Shelley continues to provide me with guidance and expertise. “Thank you, Shelley!”

"As first time home buyers, we were very nervous about the purchasing process and finding the right home for the right price in such a competitive market (Newton, MA). Fortunately, we were able to find Brenda at an open house (she was representing the seller at the time). We could tell during the open house that Brenda was very professional, intelligent, and organized, which is what really attracted us to her. Unfortunately, our offer wasn't strong enough to land the house, however, we decided that Brenda was the agent we needed to find our perfect home. While working with Brenda, it was clear that she truly cares about her clients and is always open and honest. She was very responsive and knowledgeable to any questions we had. It was comforting to know that we were in such good hands during the purchasing process. We truly appreciate her help and feel so fortunate to have her as our agent! If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable and offers great advice, we strongly recommended Brenda!"

"We can't say enough about Brenda. We wanted to buy a new house and then sell our old house which seemed like a risky endeavor. Brenda was confident our house would sell and had a calming influence when we brought up our various concerns. Brenda's orchestration of the entire process of preparing and selling our house was very impressive, including outdoor and indoor fix-ups, recommendations to make the house shine, drone video/photos of the house and yard, lovely staging, etc. We took advantage of Brenda's connections with excellent tradespeople to do the work. Anytime there was an issue she was there in person to make sure it was resolved. Brenda's strategy for putting the house on the market was ingenious. She showed the house to about 100 people in 10 days, we received 15 offers and the house sold well above asking price. Brenda made a spreadsheet of all of the offers and helped us evaluate the merits of each one. When we found a house we wanted to purchase, Brenda's experience and attention to detail made the entire process run smoothly for us. She knew how to craft an offer that was attractive beyond the price."
