Why Work With Us?

"As we started to plan our move from Long Island to Boston, we contacted a few Realtors. Wendy, from Hammond Residential, was the only one to respond with meaningful and thoughtful suggestions for our search. 

"We worked with Wendy for about ten long months, trying to find the right home for our family in a very competitive market. Our initial search was fairly broad and included Newton and Brookline. As Wendy spent more time with us she learned better our needs and helped us narrow the search to the right appropriate neighborhood and obviously, budget. We tried Wendy’s patience as we moved with the process, asking question after question and she was always smiling, resourceful and so supportive!

"We made three attempts to compete on properties, which were apparently not the right ones, and finally as we found what we were really looking for, Wendy walked us through the purchase process confidently to close the deal.

"In summary, it’s all about the experience and the result. Wendy embraced us, as-is, and became a true friend, a trusted consultant and helped us close a deal to our ultimate satisfaction. Thank you, Wendy!"

"I listed my home this spring with Wendy and under her capable hands had an accepted offer the first weekend. She had my home staged beautifully in a matter of days — causing me to re-think my decision to move! Here sage advice combined with the fact that she is extremely responsive and available for any questions or concerns puts you right at ease. Throw in her keen intellect, years of experience and a great sense of humor and you could not ask for a better Realtor. She made the process of selling my home easy and stress-free. She is a true professional who knows her market and I would highly recommend her to anyone."

"We would strongly recommend Wendy to anyone, but our experience showed Wendy is especially great for people relocating to the Boston area. Wendy generously spent multiple long weekends with us, helping us to understand the features of different towns and neighborhoods, so that by the time we were ready to buy we felt comfortable with the choices we were making. Wendy’s knowledge is deep and her advice is true. She is highly responsive, easy to talk with, and never steered us in the wrong direction. We would definitely work with Wendy again!"

"We feel very lucky to have worked with Wendy Matthews on our recent new home purchase and subsequent sale of our former home. Wendy is responsive, enthusiastic and developed a successful strategy that resulted in a very quick sale. She is a true professional, has a great sense of the market and is a pleasure to work with. Wendy’s positive approach made the whole process less stressful. We thank and highly recommend Wendy!"

"Irene recently worked with us to sell our home. From the first time we met Irene in the fall through the closing in May, we knew we had chosen the right realtor. She was prepared, knowledgeable, and very professional (and a genuinely nice person to boot!). She brought Heidi Wells into the mix as well, whose design services assisted with the staging and marketing of our house, as well as a contractor to fix all the little things that have to be done before a house can be sold — a dream team of convenience and expertise!

"Irene was always pleasant, patient, and full-service, as we had moved out of state and were not always available to handle everything. Not only is she a top-notch realtor, she’s a marketer. A realtor helps you navigate the process. A marketer helps you get the most value for your house. Due to Irene and Heidi’s hard work, we received six offers after our first and only weekend open house and were able to sell our house for $100,000 over asking! We will definitely use them again when we find ourselves on the buying end of the market."

"Recently I had to sell my parents’ home in Newton Centre, but I didn’t know any local real estate brokers. After interviewing nine agents, I met Irene and Heidi of Concierge Home Sales and knew they were the right team for the job. I couldn’t have made a better choice. From the moment I met Irene she exuded a positive energy and a thorough understanding of the Newton market. Irene is not only a fabulous real estate agent — selling my parent’s house in 3 days at a great price — she did it with integrity, hard work, and a subtle awareness of what was necessary to sell a 100-year old home. Heidi took the outdated home and presented it in a simple, stylish, and beautiful fashion. Both ladies are problem-solvers, skillful negotiators and efficient, effective communicators. I would recommend the Irene/Heidi team to absolutely anyone."

"Upon our first meeting, it was clear that Irene was the right person to assist us with the sale of our West Roxbury home. She was knowledgeable about the market trends in our neighborhood, and quickly crafted a plan to present our home in the best light, which included the coordination of minor contract work to the exterior and home staging with the help of Heidi Wells. The end result was BEAUTIFUL. Thanks to Irene and Heidi’s efforts, we received multiple, above-asking price offers on our home within a matter of days after going on the market. Irene and the Concierge Home Sales team took the stress out of selling a home and provided valuable guidance throughout the entire process."

"My husband and I are honestly in the house of our dreams because of Irene Kerzner. She was everything we needed her to be throughout this long and difficult process of buying our first home. With her expert eye and deep understanding of what we wanted, she guided us through what felt like countless open houses, suggesting we see a place she thought had potential or dissuading us from a bust. We felt completely heard and understood by her, and it was Irene who first saw ‘our house’ — the one we bought — she knew it was the right one when she saw it. When it came time to make an offer, she gracefully and expertly navigated us through the tricky process of making a competitive offer in a red-hot market. I honestly don’t think we could have gotten this house had it not been for her spot-on intuition combined with her extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of the market. On top of all this, she was reassuring, communicative, and supportive.

"We honestly can’t say enough glowing things about Irene. You’d be crazy to go with anyone else."

"I keep recommending Irene to my friends and colleagues who are looking to buy or sell in Brookline. She spent a whole afternoon with friends of mine who were looking to move here from Texas. She was so wonderful, taking the time to really listen to them about their housing needs and preferences and showing them a range of homes that might interest them. They were wowed, and so was I. I would recommend her to anyone!"

"Irene is an experienced, smart, professional real estate broker. She pays attention to details, is very communicative, and surrounds herself with competent colleagues (stagers, contractors, etc.) all focused on getting the job done with as few hassles as possible. She deftly advised, marketed, staged, and ultimately sold my house for way over the asking price. In addition to all these great qualities she is a truly kind and caring person, able to respond to people with empathy and sensitivity — a rare combination of skills!"
