Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
“Janice Lipof from Hammond Residential Real Estate sold our home in Newton. We could not have been happier with how Janice handled the whole process. She kept us well-informed, gave great advice, went above and beyond the normal call of duty and was willing to show the house to any party at all hours. We cannot thank Janice enough and would highly recommend hiring her if you are looking to buy or sell a house.”

“It was a pleasure to have you working on my behalf. You made a very sad end to part of my life into one of my best. When you said you would take care of me, and not to worry you certainly did. I never had a worry with you by my side, you are truly a friend, a dear friend, and I THANK YOU for securing my future.”
Diana B., November 2016
Julie helped us purchase a new home in Newton. We were patient buyers, and Julie was happy to help us find the right home, reaching out only with listings with real potential that matched our needs. Once we decided to make an offer, Julie was wonderful to work with during that busy time. Julie was always available for questions big and small; she was thorough, honest and straightforward. She knew the Newton market well, which helped during the buying process. We could tell she genuinely cares for her clients' well-being. We highly recommend Julie to others!

“I've had the pleasure of working with Jan through my last two moves. She's extremely professional, experienced, and responsive. She's diplomatic when she needs to be, and tough as nails when the situation warrants it. I have not always been an easy client - in fact, some have called me demanding, but Jan has always known just how to handle whatever situation we're involved in. I highly recommend her.”

“I engaged Karen Kennedy to help me secure a new residence and to market my old residence. To aid me in my purchase of my new home, Karen Kennedy took the time to write letters to neighbors in my desired area and because of those letters, I was able to buy my new home before it even went on the market.
"For the sale of my residence, Karen and her marketing team made thoughtful recommendations as to how to sell my residence……and I received four offers over asking in less than 24 hours.
“I highly recommend Karen Kennedy as both a listing agent and a buyer’s agent.
“Her results speak for themselves.”

“Let’s face it. Selling a home is never hassle-free. When we purchased our home in 2009 in Sharon, Linda Lyons was the Realtor for the sellers. She impressed us with her professionalism, and matter of fact (tell it like it is) attitude that we decided to choose her and her daughter, Shari Lyons, to represent us on the housing market when we decided to sell our home in June 2021. Linda also knew the Sharon market very well.
“In all our dealings – from our initial contact to the final closing, both conducted themselves with utmost professionalism and were candid about the marketability of our home. They did not pressure us to lower the price.
“Linda and Shari took care of all the proceedings related to putting the house on the market. Everything was done in a timely manner and there were no delays. We had regular updates via Zoom, and Linda was the calm presence that we came to rely upon so many times during the process, from explaining complex terminology, to helping us find a handy man.
“They gave us important advice - for example - keeping the house warm (to save the pipes) even through the house was empty and we had moved to Texas.
“Shari's enthusiasm and positive attitude along with Linda's calmness were the perfect combination, and we knew we had a great team working on our behalf. I would always joke and say that I want to be like Linda, always maintaining ‘grace under fire!’ The sale was smooth and seamless, and most importantly, worry-free! We could not have been happier or more satisfied with how everything worked out for us.
“It gives us great pleasure in strongly recommending Linda and Shari to anyone who is interested in buying a home in Massachusetts.”

“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.”

“It is my pleasure to recommend Mona Wiener and her daughter Shari. I found them to be superlative real estate agents.
“Last March I engaged Mona to sell my mother’s home in Brookline. I selected Mona after interviewing a number of very qualified brokers. She stood out as the best.
“She handled the engagement flawlessly. She advised me about preparation for sale, the need to price the property properly, and all aspects of the real estate sales process. She and Shari were fully engaged for three months - from the time I hired them until the closing. Ultimately the house sold well above the asking price.
“I highly recommend Mona and Shari -- they are consummate professionals.”
-- Peter Z., January 2015
“Mona and Shari Wiener were our brokers for our recent home sale in Brookline. They came highly recommended to us by a good friend, who told us unequivocally, ‘They are the best, use no one else!’ and he was right. Mona and Shari bring an incredible breadth of experience to their work. They know everything there is to know about the Brookline housing market. They gave us great advice about what we needed to do to get our home ready to put on the market. They have great connections and contacts, and everyone we contacted got right back to us when we used their names and they all did excellent work. The stager they referred us to was fabulous and they all worked seamlessly together, so I always felt I had a strong team behind me.
“Mona and Shari are both warm, down to earth and practical, with good senses of humor. They brought a calm, steady, reassurance to the entire process. I always felt like they had our best interests at heart. Mona and Shari have very strong relationships with other brokers and potential buyers, and incredible instincts about timing, pricing, and showing. Together they made a wonderful team. We were very happy with the final results and would use them again in a heartbeat!”

“We lived in our first (and only) house for 38 and 1/2 years. When we were going to retire and move out of state we knew we would hire Tedi Najarian to be our Realtor. We knew many Realtors but also knew that Tedi would be the best match for us.
“She guided us so gently through a very emotional time of being able to let go of a house where we had raised our family and had so many memories. She led us step-by-step so it wouldn't be overwhelming -- priced the house perfectly and she was really there for us from start to finish. She responded to every email phone call and text so quickly that I wondered if she ever slept!
“She was so professional and also very warm and caring. She took a very personal interest in helping us through the process. This was not about her commission. She does what she does and how she does it because she is genuinely interested in helping people.
“We are very grateful for all she did for us in making this big life change.”
