Why Work With Us?

"Eileen was a pleasure to work with to sell our condo in Brookline and to purchase our house -- she has so much experience with the market and provides full service.  She made helpful recommendations to prepare our condo, helped hire a top-notch staging company and coordinated all of the appointments --we didn't have to lift a finger or wait at home.  Eileen created a great open house strategy, resulting in multiple offers for our condo.  We would happily recommend Eileen to all our friends and family!"

“Karen Kennedy exemplifies all of the best qualities in a power broker. I bought and sold multiple properties, thanks to her endearing personality and stellar communication skills. Karen is ethical, loyal, extremely savvy, and committed to helping her clients make decisions that will ultimately make them the happiest in the long run. 

“She’s been in the real estate business for over thirty years and it shows through her abilities to effectively stage and price properties, read people’s minds at showings to determine whether they’re seriously interested or just browsing, and she works well with other agents. Karen is a pleasure to work with in every way and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

"Mike, great working with you on this project. I definitely will recommend you if anybody’s asking in the area. Also if I am in the market I definitely will call you. Thank you."

“My wife, Christina, and I worked with Kathy Krongel and her team on the sale of our home in Newton during the Fall of 2014.  Looking back on our experience with Kathy, we honestly could not have asked for anything more--right from the beginning during our first visit, Kathy was punctual, professional, and efficient, offering solid advice based on years of experience in the Newton market and surrounding communities.  Meeting with her to discuss the possibility of selling our home relieved a lot of anxiety around what was ultimately a very stressful inter-state move with multiple young children in tow!  

“Once we made the decision to move and put our house on the market, Kathy's recommendations and referrals for some simple, yet meaningful improvements to our property--including painters, some minor home repairs, housekeeping, electrical, and window cleaning--proved crucial to the fast, efficient, and successful sale of our home.  Thanks to Kathy's expertise and on-point suggestions, as well as her warm, professional demeanor when showing our property, we had multiple offers on our house and ultimately sold it after the first weekend on the market for a substantial profit over what we paid only two years prior.  

“Kathy and her team made the process of selling our home as easy as it could possibly be and we couldn't recommend her more highly; in fact, our only regret is that since we moved out of state, we won't have the opportunity to work with Kathy again the next time we need to sell!  The Hammond Realty team at Krongel, Paul & Mackey Associates have our most enthusiastic endorsement!”

“I have been working with Maureen and Bridget since 2008. I sold 2 properties and bought 2 properties with their help. Maureen and Bridget are delightful people. I can’t speak strongly enough about their dedication, efficiency, professionalism, experience, responsiveness, flexibility and savoir faire. The last property I sold was a condo. Several legal issues came our way. As we were becoming aware of those issues, we had to review our strategies and delay open houses on many occasions. It took 2 years to resolve problems with the condo association in order to sell my unit. Maureen and Bridget never let me down. They helped me throughout that very difficult time. They made sure my interests were preserved. Other brokers would have walked away from that real estate nightmare. Maureen was proactive, supportive and solution-oriented. I don’t think I could have completed these transactions without their expertise.

“Another quality that I also greatly appreciated in Maureen and Bridget was their almost instantaneous response time. They ALWAYS returned my phone calls and/or emails in less than an hour. This is rare in my experience in the real estate business. Their expertise is also a huge advantage in the current competitive real estate market. They helped me analyze offers and navigate through every step of the sale/purchase process. I recommend Maureen and Bridget without hesitation. They are the best in the industry and this is why they have both been successful businesswomen for many years.”

“You are great at what you do! You have great energy and optimism. Thanks for your encouragement! Thank you for selling my condo.”

“Upon the recommendation of friends, my husband and I used Barrie when we purchased our first home in Newton. We have since recommended her to many of our friends. Barrie is extremely bright, patient, and honest--she will not push you to purchase a home. At the same time, Barrie knows how to be aggressive in multiple offer situations, which can be critical in the greater Boston area. We won out in a competitive bidding situation where we suspect we did not make the highest offer. The sellers later told us that our offer was the ‘most attractive’ in other ways (and they praised Barrie for her skill in crafting the offer). In addition, Barrie is very aggressive at getting her clients access to see properties as soon as they hit the market. This is essential in competitive markets like Newton, Brookline, etc.”

“Mona and Shari are the most knowledgeable, experienced, and respected real estate agents in Brookline. In Brookline’s highly competitive market having the best real estate agent makes all the difference. As buyers, Mona and Shari helped us get our dream home in a very competitive market. They always had our best interest in mind and only let us buy a house that not only we love but would also be a good long-term investment. As sellers, Mona and Shari made the process incredibly seamless and fast. Selling a house can be a stressful and uncertain process, but with Mona and Shari we always felt we are in the best hands possible and couldn’t be happier with the outcome of both the selling and buying process. No wonder everyone in Brookline trusts and respects them.”

“Working with Rose was such a pleasure. We have worked with Rose for both buying and selling homes. She has expertise in the local market conditions and made practical recommendations for preparation of the house for sale, which increased its value. She explained every detail and had extraordinary follow up. I highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.”

“Thank you, Kathy and Ann Marie! My brother and I appreciate all the help and support your team gave us. We are so glad we hired you to handle the sale of Mom's house. There is no way we could have done what needed to be done in 3 weeks if we had to do it without you. Emptying the house, getting the windows washed, getting it deep cleaned and staged! 

”We are extremely happy with the outcome. Thanks again, we would highly recommend your team to anyone thinking of selling!”
