Why Work With Us?

“Barrie was phenomenal in helping us buy our home. We were buying a home from across the country and therefore depended on Barrie's knowledge, responsiveness and support. She spent days driving me around and getting to know what we were looking for in a home and community. Because we were far away, we relied on Barrie to coordinate and attend various inspections and she masterfully used the information gathered in these inspections to negotiate the sales price to reflect the work that needed to be done. Barrie's nature is calm, honest and insightful; I cannot think of a Realtor I'd rather have helping me buy my first home.”

“Thank you so much for helping us get our ‘Boston’ home. You have always been so kind and helpful. We can’t wait to move in and begin our new adventure in the Back Bay. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

I worked with Julie for both buying and selling my home, with tremendously successful results on both ends. She is highly professional, attentive to her clients' needs, and very sensitive to nuance. Julie was extremely helpful in all phases of the transactions and was always available, regardless of the time of day. In addition, she is a very lovely person and was thus always a pleasure to work with.

"It has already been a month since you sold our house. We still cannot believe the outstanding price you got for us. You did not just go out of your way to keep this sale together, you literally performed miracles. 

"You have always been a great pleasure to work with, a consolation to all our sorrows and an amazing mediator. Your marketing and your negotiating skills are outstanding. You have sold 4 of our Newton houses, the latest 2 -- in 2016 and 2017. Each time -- with superior results.  

“We look forward to buying and selling all our properties with your help and we will keep recommending you to all our friends. Thank you so very much!”

Julie Agarkov quickly made it evident to me that I could have complete faith in her from start to finish in the preparation, marketing, and sale of my parents' house of 61 years. Her hard work, experience, and expertise made the entire process so much easier than I had feared. She kept me informed every step of the way, and in the (rare) instance she could not answer my question, she found out the answer and then got back to me immediately.

Julie was aware of the emotional aspect of this transaction for me; it was my childhood home, and her wisdom and sensitivity were totally appreciated. I would recommend Julie Agarkov absolutely without reservation.

Julie helped us purchase a new home and sell our old home in mid-2017. She took our old home from listing to under agreement in less than two weeks with multiple offers that resulted in a purchase price that exceeded the listing price. She is incredibly responsive at all hours, and very knowledgeable of the local market and closing requirements for the Town of Brookline. Most of all, her calm and pleasant demeanor was always reassuring during stressful moments. She has our thanks for a job well done!

"This was the second time we partnered with Mrs. Freedman to help us find pour home and as always she went above and beyond. She walked us through every step of the process, giving us the confidence we needed to make our decision. Hopefully, we won't be buying a new house anytime soon, but if we do, she'll be the first person we call!"

“Thank you both for all your help with our home sale. You were a pleasure to work with. We really valued your wise counsel and candor throughout the process. Your practical advice and great contractor recommendations made leaving our home much easier than it might otherwise have been. Most important, perhaps, we appreciated your smiling perseverance throughout!

“Now we move onto the next chapter! 

“With our sincere appreciation and very best wishes.”

"Maxine worked with us for over a year to find us our home. Her personal attention and care brought us through the process in style! I never thought we'd be able to buy a home, but over the year and a bit, we gradually progressed through looking at many places until Maxine helped us figure out what we really needed and how to make it happen.

"Once we found the right home, she guided us through negotiations and pitfalls expertly and made us feel well supported and knowledgeable throughout the process. Even after we bought, she's been a valuable resource for who to call for contractors, designers, electricians, gutter guys -- you name it!

"I highly recommend giving Maxine a call if the whole process of buying a home seems bewildering and scary. If buying a home is climbing a mountain, Maxine will get you to the summit, while feeling cal and relaxed on the journey!"
