Why Work With Us?

"Thank you, Debby! We greatly appreciate all that you did to expedite and maximize the value of our home sale. You went above and beyond what we expected any broker to have done for us.”

“From my first condo to my forever home and two houses in between, Tamar has always been with us. Tamar has always been professional and knowledgeable about the market.  She goes out of her way to make the house-buying and selling process seamless. I would not buy or sell a house without her.”

 “Tamar is amazing. You won't find a better agent. She understands her clients, is super honest and straightforward, knows the market cold, listens to what you want, and most importantly, works tirelessly to find it. I feel like she showed me 100 houses before we finally nailed the perfect one. Tamar heard the word ‘no’ from me a million times and kept going. She's the best. When we moved from California to Brookline we were ready to buy our first condo and Tamar came recommended highly by a friend. I have to say, she made the deal happen for us as at whip speed because she's a pro. With limited time, she helped find a perfect two-bedroom for us on the perfect street just blocks from one of Brookline's best elementary schools. 

“When we were ready to move into a house a few years later, Tamar performed a miracle in finding us the perfect place, again in Brookline Village, for under $1 million. She helped coordinate the sale of the condo and the purchase of the new home with all the confidence and expertise we'd come to expect. When the unexpected happened and we had to move a year later because of my husband's job, she helped us sell quickly, supporting us throughout the stressful process. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. We love Tamar!”

"Best of the best. I interviewed 4 brokers, the Michele Friedler Team is way better than others. Professional, serious, honest, and helpful. The whole process is very good when working with the Michele Friedler Team."

“Kathy Krongel and Ann Marie Paul at Hammond Residential were superb and provided excellent service in every aspect of the marketing and sale of our home in Newton. Within a couple of weeks, they de-cluttered our basement, staged our house, arranged window cleaning, made professional floor plans and photos of the house and put the house on the market. Kathy and Ann Marie priced the house perfectly and we accepted an excellent offer following one weekend of open houses. After the purchase and sale, Kathy provided excellent guidance and support with recommendations for a cleanout service, electrician (for smoke/CO detector inspection), attorneys and movers.  All went very smoothly and professionally – highest marks to Kathy and Ann Marie!”

“I met Tamar 15 years ago when she was selling condos in my building.  I always enjoyed chatting ‘real estate’ with her.  She was very professional, and also very charming and funny, which is for me a great combination.  When it came time to sell my unit a few years later, I called her, and no other broker.   Selling your home is a nerve-wracking experience.  Tamar kept me grounded and sane during the entire process – never promising more than she could deliver.  She told me exactly what I needed to do to get top dollar.  I trusted her judgment and advice -- we had 1 open house, and the unit sold the next day, for more than the asking price.  Although I left Boston after the sale, we’ve remained friends and stay in touch.  I consider Tamar not just a great broker, but a good friend.  Can you tell I think she's terrific?!”

 “My husband and I met Tamar about 15 years ago when she helped first one and then a second daughter find a home. She impressed us as being thoroughly professional with a very comprehensive knowledge of the markets that were of interest to the girls. At the same time, Tamar has a personality that made us feel comfortable sharing our thoughts about the whole process. So when it came time to sell our home after 37 years, we called Tamar. It felt like a no-brainer. 

“She negotiated the purchase of a condo that is perfect for us and handled the sale of our home so smoothly. We discussed pricing, the timing of the listing, etc. All her advice was pitch-perfect in our opinion. The house sold very quickly for over the asking price and we had a closing that enabled us to renovate the new condo and move from one to the other within a week. We truly felt that Tamar made what can be a very stressful experience a lot easier.  She also has a very fun sense of humor.  As one can imagine, that comes in handy when it’s time to downsize!”

"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."

"I listed my home this spring with Wendy and under her capable hands had an accepted offer the first weekend.  She had my home staged beautifully in a matter of days -- causing me to re-think my decision to move!  Here sage advice combined with the fact that she is extremely responsive and available for any questions or concerns puts you right at ease.  Throw in her keen intellect, years of experience and a great sense of humor and you could not ask for a better Realtor.  She made the process of selling my home easy and stress-free.  She is a true professional who knows her market and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“I loved having Kathy as our agent when we were looking for a home in Brookline.  She worked hard to help us submit a winning bid under less-than-ideal, highly competitive circumstances.  She took time to understand our priorities and needs from the beginning.  Kathy is bright, energetic, a creative thinker and a terrific listener, and, on top of it all, fun to be with!  I highly recommend her.”
