Why Work With Us?

 “Thank you, Kathy, Ann Marie, and Pierre and the team for working so diligently with us. We appreciate the expertise, professionalism, and guidance that was provided throughout this process.”

“We would absolutely send friends who are in search of, or selling, a home to Jan Crosby. She has extensive, first-hand knowledge of the real estate market in the West Roxbury area. She has lived in the community for at least 20 years and has been involved extensively in neighborhood activities ranging from the Boston Public Library to the Garden Club to the YMCA. We have worked with Jan in both buying and selling a home in West Roxbury. She is very generous with her time, often making herself available at a moment's notice. Jan walked us through what can be an intimidating process, carefully explaining each and every step, from the open house through to the closing. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and holds herself to the highest standards at both the personal and the professional levels. Jan was able to secure multiple offers after a single weekend open house, each of which was at or above our asking price. We would undoubtedly refer friends and family to Jan without any reservation whatsoever.”

“My husband and I first met Pierre when the broker we had worked with several times over many years was away for a few days and we had time pressure to identify a property for purchase. After having a long-term and trusted relationship with the broker he was covering for, we were a little uneasy about starting with someone new. Pierre quickly won our confidence. He is knowledgeable not only about real estate but has a creative mind about renovations and solutions to sticky design issues. He served as a thought partner with my husband as we made decisions about purchase and renovations. Pierre was always flexible, good-natured and immediately responsive to emails.  We were out of the country for part of the buying process; he was incredibly helpful with all the details we could not attend to. In short, we highly recommend Pierre.”

“It was a true pleasure to work with Elissa while looking for a condominium in Cambridge. From my very first meeting with her, I felt at ease with her and confident of her honesty and ability. Not only was it clear that she is familiar with the market and the area, but she communicates in a manner that is at once professional and warm. She explained the buying procedure clearly, and listened with genuine interest when I told her what I was looking for.

“During the search, Elissa was always available to answer my many questions. She was determined to help find a place that I loved and that would work for me. She kindly reminded me to be patient, and I’m especially grateful for her care, and her wisdom, in steering me away from a condominium that – although charming – had drawbacks that would have made it a poor choice at this stage in my life. Fortunately, it did not take long until we found a condominium that is perfect for me, and with her guidance I made an offer that was accepted. Afterwards, she coordinated everything so that the closing went as smoothly as possible.

“I whole-heartedly recommend Elissa as a dedicated real estate agent – and beyond that: she’s a wonderful human being.”

“Susan Evans was an incredible help in selling my house. She did considerable detailed research and understood what needed to be taken care of and what should be left alone. She was familiar with the history of my neighborhood. She knew how to enhance the space and flow from one room to another. “Susan was a delight to be with and explained matters I didn't understand easily. She appreciated the quality of my home and put a beautiful yellow flowering plant at the front door. “It was a complete JOY working with Susan.”

"Pierre Johnsson is a highly skilled negotiator. I have worked in real estate investments for over 30 years and I have never seen such commitment and finesse in a negotiation. Pierre will literally do whatever it takes to get me the properties I am looking to acquire. He worked on both the acquisition and listing sides of my investments. Given his years of experience in renovation and rehab, Pierre has a particular skill with Scandinavian style and high-end design. Pierre’s background helped him to both anticipate my needs as a client and understand my process as a real estate investor. Pierre is truly a rising star in real estate and an ideal partner for any real estate investor.”

“I was a client of Pierre Johnsson. Working with Pierre, I greatly appreciated how he put his clients first. He focused explicitly on finding the right strategy to get us the right price and he coached us through the entire process. Pierre’s goal was to get us the best offer possible and he went the extra mile to get us there. I strongly recommend Pierre.”

"We've worked with Susan Evans to buy 2 condos and sell 1 condo (all of the home purchases/sales we've ever made), and we plan to work with Susan on any home purchase/sale we have in the future. She's the best! Susan's warmth and support were wonderful (especially our first time buying a home), and her honest and informed advice made a difference through every step of the process: prepping our home to sell, pricing our home to sell, making offers to buy, accepting offers. She was really there with us at every step. And we have always felt like Susan is on our side and that we're able to have honest conversations about budgets, questions, concerns, etc., knowing she will always work to do what's best for us. And maybe most importantly, we made a profit on our first condo (which we outgrew), and we bought our current condo for less than we thought we'd have to spend, and we love it!”

“Susan stuck with me for every step of a four-year process, including a heartbreaking time when I already had an inspection and almost signed a P&S, and then lost buying a condo. I remember standing under an umbrella in the pouring rain to view properties at least twice. And after four years of looking in Newton, Watertown, Waltham, West Roxbury, and Brighton, I finally got to stay in my hometown of Newton. Thank heaven, and I thank Susan.”

“I met Pierre at an open house he was hosting. His knowledge of the market and how to navigate it was impressive. He was well-versed with all of the current listings and potential solutions. We decided to work with Pierre and he promptly showed us all the types of houses we were looking for. He asked the right questions and was able to find the perfect house for us. Pierre was an excellent agent.”
