Why Work With Us?

"Michael was a pleasure to deal with. He made the experience painless without the typical sales tactics or arrogance we had experienced from the other leading firm in Newton. Great guy! Buying or selling, you won’t find much better."

"Michael is hands-down awesome! We sold our house for more than we thought we would. We contacted Michael after reading his reviews and working with him only validated his excellent reputation. Michael has superior knowledge of the market and great intuition. He also went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the whole process. He is also a great researcher - willing and able to find out the exact information one needs. What impressed us further is that he truly respects his client's point of view. We never felt under pressure. He gave us direct opinions and thorough advice on multiple occasions. His expertise allowed us to totally trust every bit of advice he gave. He walked us through the process and kept us informed. Most importantly, he is open and honest and we really appreciated that! Whoever is lucky to have him, and his team, as agents, will be in great hands. Thank you very much, Michael!"

"I've worked with Michael as a seller and a buyer. He is the best real estate broker I have ever met in over twenty-five years of buying and selling property. He knows the market at all segments incredibly well, understands how to value property, gives great advice, is an expert negotiator, and is an honest and terrific person."

“Michael's work as our real estate broker was first-rate in every respect.  He is knowledgeable about the market, creative in his approach to problem-solving and sensible in his advice.   He's also a great guy - always willing to go the extra mile to satisfy his clients.   He helped us prepare the house for sale, priced it intelligently and negotiated for us with the purchaser.  We were able to obtain a great offer for the house within days of its going on the market and he worked diligently with us until closing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with a broker.  I would use him again without hesitation.”

"Mike was a great advocate for us from start to finish. He put in the time to help us get our home appropriately priced and well-staged, was active in soliciting offers and negotiating with potential buyers, and went the extra mile to make sure that we had a smooth closing process."

"Michael is an excellent real estate broker. He is very knowledgeable about the market and is a great resource. He is always professional and extremely responsive to client needs. One of the things that impressed me most about Michael is his commitment to his clients. He responded immediately to any questions we had, brainstormed with us, took care or details and made himself available to us whenever we needed him. He made the stressful process of buying and selling much easier and enjoyable for us."

"Kavita and I want to thank you for helping us in buying our beautiful home for our family! It has been truly a joy knowing you.

“We had been looking for a dream house that all of us liked for many years.  You have been with us on this journey all along. You clearly understood our values, culture, tradition, and the sentiments we were looking in a house. The patience you showed while walking us through many houses in Newton and Weston is most appreciated. Regardless of the weather, you were there for us on this precious milestone. We developed immense faith in your guidance, learning your honesty and pristine work ethic.

“What we admired most was the patience you displayed, the way you carefully listened to our opinions and the time and space you gave us to think about different houses as we walked through.

“Your knowledge of the market and accurate assessment of home values provided us with assurance and confidence as a buyer.  The eagerness with which you discussed the positives and negatives of each house we saw, particularly taking our tastes and opinions into consideration was very valuable to us.  You made this entire process of finding a suitable home for our family -a memorable happy journey.

“In this journey, you have become a very dear friend to our family.

“We wish you and your family a fabulous summer and please stay in touch!”

“Michael was recommended to me by Marie LeBlanc of Transitions Liquidations Services. I already knew of Hammond since my mother got their brochures in the mail, but they have hundreds of agents—how do you choose? I live in NH, so I didn’t know anyone in Newton. I had to interview several other agents, just to be sure, but I knew that I had liked Michael from the first. He’s truly dedicated to his job because he really loves it with a passion, and it shows. Also, he’s very knowledgeable about Newton real estate. He always answered my emails or phoned me back quickly, and made the sale of my mother’s townhouse go very smoothly. 

“He went above the call of duty the last week before the townhouse closed, to find a commemorative coin set which my mom had hidden in the wall of the utility room. He had to reach very high under the fiberglass to locate it—I would never have found it, I was only looking at eye level. He also recommended an excellent interior designer who staged the house very nicely. He will tell you if you are paying too much for repair work. He is knowledgeable about mechanical type stuff also. He’s direct and to the point on what you need to know. If you connect with his personality, then I would recommend you hire him, and forget about looking elsewhere.”

“Michael Rothstein is an excellent Realtor and a consummate professional in every sense;

“Michael's integrity and honesty are paramount, but more than that, his humanity shines forth in all he does. Michael has an eye for detail and heart for personal relationships, which make him a joy to work with. He is thorough and caring and intelligent, with a sense of humor and respect which encourages dignity throughout the entire process.

“Michael is committed and honest and combines his years of experience in the market and his savvy perspective to help coach all parties through to the most successful win-win outcome possible.

“We can't recommend Michael highly enough -- he is a terrific Realtor and an incredible person.  We are all so deeply grateful to have had his stellar help in handling the transaction of our family house sale with patience and generosity. Michael is a treasure to the community and a shining credit to his profession!

“Working with Michael & having him in our life professionally and personally is a gift you will treasure -- he is a star!”

“Thanks, Michael. We really appreciated your perspective and now I have lots of homework/research to do.  We will let you know when we are ready to sell. We were very impressed with your knowledge. Great meeting you, too.”
