Why Work With Us?

"Heidi (Silk Purse Design Group) and Irene (Concierge Home Sales) are the best! Irene’s calm demeanor and professional attitude, coupled with her deep knowledge of the market enabled us to sell my mother’s home in record time, at a record price. We were working under some difficult circumstances, and Irene and Heidi delivered on their promise that they would handle everything in order to make our experience easy — they did. We cannot recommend this team enough. Their care and knowledge and accessibility were invaluable! We’ve used Silk Purse and Concierge Home Sales twice, there’s no doubt we will use them again."

"On a scale of 1-10, Irene is a 12! Exceptionally savvy about the real estate market, well-connected to a network of valuable resources, kind, caring, and compassionate. Recommended by a friend, Irene provided such quality of personalized service throughout our home purchase and sale that we were able to relax and actualize our dream home. Rave reviews!!!"

"I can’t thank Irene Kerzner and Heidi Wells enough for their Concierge Home Sales service! They helped make the process of staging and selling our home and purchasing a new home as seamless and stress-free as possible. Irene’s guiding hand, market knowledge, and experience on the sale and purchase and Heidi’s creativity and logistical skills on the staging were incredible and instrumental in helping us achieve our goals! I am so glad we had Irene and Heidi on our team!"

"I am writing to highly recommend Irene Kerzner and the Concierge Home Sales team. I worked with Irene for several years when she was showing me properties while I was deciding if I should move from my Newton home of 39 years. While it was not an easy decision, Irene was always supportive, never any pressure and great to work with! I enjoyed seeing the various condos, and having Irene there to offer great insights and education into the market and it really helped me hone in on what I was looking for! When I was ready to move and make the commitment to leave my home, we found a beautiful condo in Newton Chestnut Hill…thank you Irene for your incredible patience and insights!

"So, with the new condo purchased, it was time to get my house ready for sale. Again, Irene put no pressure on me and let me move at my own speed.

"When I moved out of the house, Irene and her team mobilized to get it ready for the Spring market. It was incredible! She not only helped me evaluate the things we should do to prepare, but even more importantly the things we should not do – And she and her team oversaw every step of the process no detail left unattended. After everything was ready, the house was staged by Silk Purse Design who brought my beautiful home to life, the furniture and home accessories they brought in were a thoughtful complement to the details of my home and with their eye for space and scale it was a perfect marriage!

"Irene held a weekend of Open Houses and there was a huge response to look at the house, the cars were lined up and down the street. After 4 days of Open Houses, there were 7 offers on my house. I chose the offer that I liked the best and they become the new owners of my beloved house.

"One last point about Irene: She knows exactly how to price a house to achieve the best results.

"I could not be happier with the results of my house sale and what Irene achieved for me! Thank you soooooooo much Irene!!!"

“I highly recommend Elissa Rogovin as a real estate agent. My husband and I had lived in the same home in Massachusetts for over 40 years. As we approached retirement, we knew it was time to move to a warmer climate and be closer to our children. Just contemplating the process was overwhelming and I didn’t even know where to start to find a great Realtor. A neighbor who I trusted and was in a similar situation suggested Elissa and an associate. From the moment we began the process they were extremely reassuring. There was both a supportive and deliberate approach to each step and it began to feel manageable and achievable.

“Elissa was always available for advice and moral support, something I found invaluable. She also has an amazing eye for detail and made many great suggestions as far as things I might want to highlight in my home to make it more appealing to buyers.

“I found Elissa to be responsible, intelligent, experienced, kind, and responsive. She was so supportive and patient with the normal anxieties that creep up in this process. I found that there are things you don’t think of or don’t anticipate but she always got us through. That’s where experience pays off. She had pretty much seen everything that came our way.

“So, what happened? We sold our home for a great price and moved to Florida. When we settled in Elissa was one of the first people we told, and of course we sent pictures. We continue to stay in touch.”

“Debby Belt is a remarkable Realtor. On a Sunday evening, I made the decision not to renew my lease and to finally buy an apartment. Inventory was very low in the Newton area, but by the following Tuesday, Debby found me a great condominium that I bought and was living in 6 weeks later.

“The next time I called her, the market had not improved much and interest rates were at their highest in years. I had found a condominium that better suited my needs in the long run. but I was told selling could be difficult. Within a week, Debby had found a buyer for my condominium that I not only sold but made a profit on. Every need I had in between buying, selling, and settling in was addressed within an hour or two by someone in Debby's contact list. They clearly like and respect her as much as I and so many others do.”

"My experience selling my home through Debby was superb. She had a vision for the property far superior to my own and her execution was timely and flawless. Debby takes charge and gets things done. I was also impressed with her broad knowledge of the market and quick responses to my questions.  I’d use her again without any hesitation.”

“Making our ‘closer to family’ move to NYC was for us a major life event. We were so fortunate therefore to have Elissa working with us as we sold our Newton home. Elissa's natural empathy and excellent listening skills, matched with her strong professional guidance, made the process far more manageable at every stage. And we had several offers at our asking price or better within hours of our first open house!”

“We recently worked with Mona and Shari on the sale of a large, valuable, 2-family residence in Brookline. They did an exemplary job working around multiple complicating factors, leading to a fast, successful sale at a good price for the market.  They were also a pleasure to work with, given their solid, professional attitude clearly based on years of experience. This was a particularly complicated situation involving a probate sale with an executor, rented units with tenants that had to be worked with, a difficult housing market, and other extraneous factors.

“Mona and Shari executed behind the scenes to make this happen, successfully negotiating with all parties to remove barriers, and presenting the property in the best light possible. Their connections in the local community added to the value they brought. We would heartily recommend their services to any seller.”
