Why Work With Us?

We had the pleasure of working with Julie Agarkov on buying an investment property. Our experience was excellent! Julie invested a lot of time and effort into orienting us to the current market, answering our questions, doing research, and answering our frantic phone calls in a timely manner. We really value her professionalism as well as her personality. She gave us her thoughtful advice when needed. However, we never felt pressured by her into making any decisions which we were not comfortable with. I would ask for Julie's assistance whenever I need a real estate agent again and I recommend her to all my friends and relatives.

“Selling one’s home after 23 years can be a challenging experience on many fronts. Managing home repairs, downsizing, and staging during a pandemic would perhaps be unthinkable. Selecting the right broker is key to a successful outcome, and I found that in Jan Crosby. She pulled together a fantastic team including a general contractor, movers, marketing experts, and a stager extraordinaire! My home sold in one week, for more than the asking price ---now that’s expertise!”

"My husband and I are first time home buyers. Brenda really went through everything with us in details, and she is always on our side. She is very professional and knowledgable about everything you need to know about buying a house, and she is very responsive! Also she has a lot of good connections with the lender, lawyer, home inspection, etc. We ended up working with everyone she recommends and it all ends up very well. I will highly recommend her as a realtor."

“We simply cannot thank you enough for your help with our family's first-time home search over the past year. Being new to the housing market, we absolutely relied upon your expertise, knowledge, and connections to ensure that the process went smoothly and, most important, that we found the perfect home for our family.

“I would recommend you without reservation to friends, family, and acquaintances.  Thank you again.”

“When we decided to sell our first home, we knew we needed to reach back out to Elissa, who helped us buy it. Selling a house is always a stressful time, but even during a pandemic, we knew Elissa would keep us sane. She was there throughout the entire process to help us through. We can't recommend her or the Hammond Real Estate team enough!”

My interactions with Julie Agarkov were very professional and very successful. She has a great deal of knowledge about the real estate market. She is thorough and very thoughtful. She provided us with both an excellent overview of the sales process as well as detailed steps and timelines about the sale of our house. She was always available for questions. Julie provided us with useful feedback at each step of our sale.

She also helped us both finalize the sale as well as guide us through the closing process. We (my wife and I) recommend her with the highest enthusiasm and with absolutely no reservations. Julie is the consummate real estate professional.

"We've worked with Marsha for over 10 years and across three transactions: twice as buyers and once as sellers. Sticking with a real-estate professional over this time period is a testament to Marsha's competence, professionalism and high level of service. Marsha is exceedingly responsive, and is in it for the long term, building relationships that last for years. She is a real-estate advisor we can rely on not only for imminent transactions, but also as we make investment decisions in our homes over time."

"Brenda was integral to our home buying success. She prompted us to look at a property we had dismissed and it ended up being a dram condo. She has great insight and intuition and gets the job done. She stuck with us during anxieties and trials and never gave up. We recommend her highly."

"It was a great pleasure working with Barrie from start to finish. She was incredibly patient, bearing with us over a 4+ year period while we endlessly debated and dithered over which new townhouse to purchase and in which town. She was tolerant through several false starts and shifts in our priorities. 

“Once we found the right place, she helped us through the emotionally fraught process of preparing and selling our gorgeous old house in which we had lived for almost 25 years. Throughout, she was calm, understanding and empathetic. And she is extremely knowledgeable. I wish everyone could have a such a terrific Realtor.”

“Walking around the house is a strange sensation. It is a shell now, I feel almost like a stranger, but every wood detail, expansive window, and odd little remnant of an earlier family era is embedded in my spirit and my history. I pass it on wistfully, but cheered by the sense of excitement and anticipation I know the new owners must have. This house pulls one in and says, ‘I am a beautiful space and you will be at home here.’

“Thank you, Kathy and Ann Marie, for your advice, help, and support for this mega project in a very unsettled year! My very best to you both!”
