Why Work With Us?

"Michael was great. He guided us through the process smoothly, was on top of showings and was excellent at communicating with us. We thought the prices for the house we bought and the one that sold were fair. Overall, I recommend Michael highly."

“From the very beginning of the process, Barrie made us feel we were in excellent hands for the sale of our condo. This could have been a stressful time, but she took all stress away. She provided personal and knowledgeable support from the beginning to the closing. Barrie listened to us, truly heard what we were saying, and moved us steadily to our goals. It was a pleasure to work with her.

“We would highly recommend Barrie to anyone looking to sell a property.”

“Before we bought our first home, we thought a broker might not even be necessary, but now we would never consider buying a home without Julie on our side.  Julie understood our preferences - she got what my husband and I liked individually AND understood the small sweet spot of what would work for us as a couple. She was never pushy throughout the 6-month search process.  We always felt Julie was interested in matching us with the right home for us, not in getting a transaction done.  Being new to the area, she provided us invaluable advice on the desirability of certain blocks, in addition to advice on what to look for in a house for livability as well as resale potential.  During the 3 bidding processes we went through, Julie was a good sounding board and provided helpful advice to arrive at a bid price and complete bid package.  

“We ultimately won a bid on the perfect home for us on an amazing block in Brookline, a competitive market with limited inventory. As further value add, after we won the bid, Julie provided us with numerous excellent recommendations from mortgage lenders to plumbers.  Julie was such a pleasure to work with from the moment we met her and throughout the process.  We consider her a friend.  We strongly and enthusiastically recommend working with Julie, without any hesitations. In fact, consider yourself lucky if you find Julie and work with her.”

“We really enjoyed working with Julie. She acted as a true partner for our home purchase. We had previously worked with Julie as the sellers’ agent when we were purchasing our first home, and we liked her so much that we sought her out to act as our agent for this next purchase. She was proactive, helpful, incredibly professional, and a joy to work with.”

“30 years and one house, one townhouse, one rental and one condo later, all in Chestnut Hill (Brookline and Newton), I am fortunate to have had ALL these real estate transactions successfully and smoothly completed by Vicky Whitney and Blake Whitney: The Whitney Group.

“Having known Vicky both personally and professionally for this time, it is wonderful to have her daughter, Blake, join her mother’s highly-respected real estate business, in what has become a natural collaboration.  They work seamlessly together and have great respect for one another.  Both women have a solid knowledge of the Boston area and surrounding communities.

“I have been both a seller and a buyer with this team, and can attest to their collective professionalism and commitment to being up-to-date in all areas of the real estate market: houses, condos, rentals, at ALL price points.  This gives their clients the accurate and studied information necessary to choose the right homes.

“Vicky and Blake are genuinely invested in each client and property.

“As a mother-daughter team, they bring a unique and exciting partnership to their real estate business: The Whitney Group.”

 “Julie is terrific to work with because she is knowledgeable, experienced, straightforward and calm. All are important qualities, but together they are a winning combo.”

"Julie was great to work with. She had the knowledge, energy, focus, and speed to see us through a complex estate sale. No detail was overlooked, and she went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met.”

"Our thanks to you and Susan for your wisdom, hard work and good cheer throughout the process. It is a special pleasure to work with people who know and are committed to the neighborhood.”

"Julie Krasker has been an indispensable part of three separate transactions with us.  When we first moved out of the city, she helped us find and purchase our first home.  Years later, she helped us sell that same home and find a new one in a different town.  Julie was tireless in exploring every possible option to help meet our needs, and was one hundred percent committed to our satisfaction.  She is a consummate professional whose deep knowledge of the region was invaluable to us, and whose broad experience helped guide us through every step of the buying and selling process.  We wouldn't consider another transaction without Julie by our side!"
