Why Work With Us?

“My wife and I were in the market for our first home in 2019, Daniel Cohen was resourceful in helping us with all the questions and concerns we had with all that came with the home buying process.  He’s a great communicator, easy to reach, and timely. Aside from printing out information about the homes we were interested in, he printed out what seemed like a report card for the neighborhoods we were looking at.

“Daniel goes above and beyond expectations when it comes to looking for the home that fits your criteria. He isn't afraid to get up on the roof and take a look at the view of our new home and crawl through not so bright spaces if need be! Daniel has the patience, personality, and determination to make sure all your needs are addressed.

“If you have the opportunity to search for your new home and with the help of Daniel, you will be in great hands.”

“Rachel Carter was fantastically helpful in the selling of my sister's home after her passing. 

“Rachel is an exceptionally organized and compassionate agent who helped us navigate the complexities of selling a house remotely. She went above and beyond in terms of answering questions and being in-person at the property to ensure that the work leading up to the open house was completed in a timely and professional fashion. Her negotiation skills enabled us to exceed our expectations in terms of sale price and deal terms. She anticipates the process and its timing and seems to always be one step ahead of our next inquiry.

“She is a joy to work with on both a personal and professional level and we highly recommend working with her.”

“We loved working with Mary. Thinking about her makes me smile. She is incredibly knowledgeable about houses, neighborhoods, construction, and design. She is also extremely patient. We never felt rushed. We really valued how she often knew of houses before they were coming on the market.

“Needless to say, Mary was instrumental in getting us our forever home, and we are forever grateful for that!”

“As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were nervous but ready to start the homebuying process when our little family started getting bigger. We found Michael and he was invaluable every step of the way. From day one, we knew he was the right Realtor for us: patient, knowledgeable of the Newton-Wellesley-Needham area, and responsive. I don't think he ever takes a day off! Emails and texts were answered within minutes or greeted by a phone call, and we never felt pressured when touring new homes or putting in offers.

“He helped us appropriately price our bids, craft our love letter, learn more about each area, and kept us entertained and relaxed. We could not recommend him more highly and if we ever look to buy or sell in the same neighborhood again, we know who we'll be calling.”

When Michael stepped through our front door, I was immediately struck by his expertise in what was a hot, yet changing market. He also put me at ease with what felt like a daunting process. Michael told us to focus only on getting the house in order and that he would "handle the rest". When we were approaching the final days before the house went live, he came over and got down and dirty handling last minute issues that he felt would allow the home to show its full potential. We have worked with other Newton brokers, but Michael's outstanding no-nonsense approach, positive attitude and complete attention to our concerns allows him to stand out as one of the very best. 

"My wife and I met Michael at an open house over 18 months before making the decision to list our home. Michael met with us early on and gave helpful advice on both buying and selling during a competitive environment. As we prepared to list our home, Michael made several recommendations, some large, some small, which would help position our home for a successful sale. As we waited to find our next home, Michael kept in touch but never pressured us. Once we decided to sell, Michael was able to quickly meet with us and get our home ready to go to market. We got a strong offer quickly and Michael helped keep the closing on track by managing the process and making sure the details (fire inspection, etc.) didn’t slow us down. If you’re looking for a high-energy broker who has a lot of experience, we’d recommend working with Michael."

"Barrie was outstanding in every way. We had a challenging situation, selling my mother’s multi-family home from across the country, getting my elderly mom moved and navigating tenants and Barrie was instrumental in coordinating every aspect. Her experience was quite evident as she helped us make tough decisions and she did it all with both professionalism and heart.

“It was an emotionally difficult process and we took great comfort in knowing that we could put our full trust in Barrie. She really went above and beyond."

“I had the pleasure of working with Susan Evans on my home-buying journey. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient as she helped us through a sometimes stressful, sometimes hectic process until we ultimately found our dream home. From start to finish she was a wealth of information, incredibly helpful, and supportive. I strongly recommend this fantastic agent to anyone looking for a new home.”

"Debby did a fantastic job as our agent and I would not hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone.  Her experience and sensitivity to the market was evident from the time we listed our house until we closed on its sale: her market analysis was timely and thorough; her guidance about how to prepare our house to be shown was invaluable; and she had access to a suite of first-rate vendors from whom we could choose to declutter our home and otherwise quickly get it ready for sale. 

“Debby then created opportunities for us to show our home through her extensive network of contacts and was diligent about making herself available to anyone who wanted to do a walk-through or simply talk through whether our home might be right for them. 

“She held our hand when we needed support and ensured we did not sell ourselves short as we talked through our options.  She then ably assisted us with every aspect of our closing process until our sale was consummated at a price we were very pleased with.

“Throughout, Debby was unfailingly responsive, organized, strategic, communicative, calm, reassuring and extraordinarily resourceful.  I could not imagine being happier with anyone else as my real estate agent.  She is the gold standard.  It is no wonder that she is so sought after by clients and has achieved so much success on their behalf."
