Why Work With Us?

"Michele recently helped me buy a condo in Brookline. She was fantastic. When I initially contacted her, she responded very quickly with some options. She showed me several nice properties in my price range, and she helped me think about the pros and cons of each, while also respecting my own preferences.  

“She was able to get useful but hard-to-find information on some of these properties via her social networks in the business, which are extensive. She handled the negotiations (which were a bit complex) throughout the entire process. I felt she was very effective in nudging me toward the best outcome I could realistically expect, balancing my goals with some useful doses of reality. 

“In the end, I was able to close on a property that I really love. Michele is the best in the business: I would not want to work with anybody else.” 

“Aliza was the best agent for me, a first-time home buyer. She is true to her philosophy of understanding her clients' needs and striving to make their home-purchase decisions right for them. Aliza made the entire project educational and fun. I feel that she went above and beyond her responsibilities as my real estate broker. Aliza was always available to me, educated me about every aspect of the home search and buying process, provided me with on-target listings and extensive research, and accompanied me on all open houses and private showings that I requested. She often took time to tour neighborhoods with me to acquaint me with the services, amenities, and the cultures of different places. “My P&S and closing milestones were accomplished very smoothly, stress-free. I spent an aggressive two-month period searching for my new home, and - thanks to Aliza - I found my dream place and more. I recommend Aliza Dash for her superb service, expertise, and support in the venture of home buying for anyone.”

"I returned to Michele having sold and bought with her just over 20 years ago; all of my positive memories were reconfirmed and then some. Michele has it all - she is warm, tactful, collaborative, as well as assertive, clear-spoken and firm in her leadership at every step. She will get the process going, know when to regroup and make strategic adjustments, all with a fine-tuned understanding of the nuances of the local market and how best to position your property.

"She and her team are on top of every step and detail all the way through to closing. I believe that Michele's rare combination of warmth, integrity, savvy, knowledge of the business, ability to relate to all kinds of folks, attention to detail, patience, industriousness, and realistic brand of optimism are hard to match and I can't imagine having gotten through the sale of my family home with anyone else at the helm."

“We enthusiastically recommend Mona and Shari Wiener as real estate brokers if you are considering putting your home up for sale.  We had a universally positive experience this spring with Mona and Shari as our listing brokers.

“Mona and Shari came highly recommended, and we immediately felt comfortable with their approach to marketing our home.  Their photos really showcased our home, and they gave us sound advice about when to list the house for sale.  With Mona and Shari’s sound marketing through Hammond, we immediately had significant interest.  Within 48 hours of our first open house (and less than a week on the market), we had several offers to purchase.

“Mona and Shari continued to be incredibly helpful throughout the entire selling process.  They worked seamlessly with the buyer’s broker so that details and negotiations went smoothly.  We had already relocated, and it was immensely helpful that Mona or Shari were always willing to be at the house to meet repair people and smoke detector installers and inspectors so that the sale could proceed in a timely manner.

“Overall, we were impressed with Mona and Shari’s professionalism throughout the marketing and selling of our home.  Choosing a skilled listing broker is undoubtedly the most important decision that you make once you have decided to sell your home.  We are convinced that we made the right choice listing our home with Mona and Shari Wiener, and we wholeheartedly suggest that you make the same choice!”

"Michele Friedler and her team have assisted us in selling a couple of properties over the past two years. They are excellent and very efficient in all aspects -- right from evaluating the property, pricing it, giving advice in getting the property ready for sale, timing of when to bring the property to the market, being very professional in handling the showings, evaluating the offers and assisting in accepting the right offer and further assistance till the closing.

"We would highly recommend the Michele Friedler team for your real estate needs in Brookline, Newton, and Metro Boston area."

“Mary and Martha Lewitt are a fantastic real estate team. The first-time home buying process is very overwhelming and they both did such a fantastic job in helping us find a house from start to finish. They were both always very responsive, professional and genuinely looked out for us with our best interests in mind. We always felt heard and all of our questions answered. They are true advocates for their clients and we appreciated them at every step in the process. We highly recommend Mary and Martha!”

“I am writing to let you know what a wonderful job Lynette Glover did to help me sell my house of 22 years and buy a condominium. I was downsizing and I wanted to stay in Brookline. When I started the search for a condo I was unsure about moving. Thanks to Lynette’s sensitivity and understanding, I never felt pushed or pressured by her to make premature decisions. She was infinitely patient and supportive as she showed me potential condos while I worked through my misgivings about taking this big step.

“When I was finally ready, Lynette immediately knew how to shift into high gear to get my house on the market at the most opportune time. Without losing her calm, she carefully orchestrated all the steps that needed to be done to maximize the selling potential of my home. She hired a photographer who took great pictures and found an excellent stager who made significant improvements to the feel of my house. Lynette had many resources at her fingertips that she used to help me, including knowing places to sell or donate my many things. She even provided some of the home furnishings to help decorate my house.

“Lynette’s efforts were a huge success! The house sold on the first weekend it was on the market, for $100,000 over asking price. I couldn’t have been happier. Within two months I had made a bid on a condo in Brookline very close to my former house. When buying the condo, Lynette provided more useful recommendations and I was very satisfied with the additional workers she suggested, including painter, electrician and inspector as well as colorist.

“I guess you can say I like Lynette a lot! She was my real estate agent 22 years ago when I bought the house that she just helped me sell. I knew I wanted her to help me the second time around and I am very happy with the result.”

"I typically don't write reviews of companies and/or professionals but Barrie Wheeler did such a phenomenal job for us that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to praise her. My husband and I started looking for our first home this past winter (January 2017) in the aggressive Boston market. I can honestly say that without Barrie, we never would have found a home to call our own. She oftentimes reached out to us after normal work hours, wrote us personalized emails with listings she thought we would like, and typically screened properties in person before telling us to view them ourselves. Once we found a home we loved, she effortlessly walked us through what is clearly a complex process. I could not be happier that we used Barrie to find and purchase our first home. If you are looking for a highly professional and compassionate real estate broker, contact Barrie. There is no one better than her."
