Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
“To and be able to complete the sale of a property during the pandemic and from several states away should be a challenge, but it was not. Tim and Karen Fallon orchestrated a flawless safe transaction for me. My property required a substantial renovation before we could list it. They helped with all aspects: from refinishing of an old bathtub to suggesting the best paint color choices. And then they helped find a wonderful staging company that put the finishing touches to the property. Once listed it took but a couple weeks to get a solid and well-qualified offer. After that they managed the lawyers’ inquiries and town’s inspections. I could not have asked for a better experience!”

"Michele and her team were exceptional to work with, navigating us through successfully purchasing a new home while listing and selling our old home. Her knowledge of the area, and dedication to helping us find the perfect house, were evident through the whole process. We highly recommend her and her team!"
-- Kevin F., July 2022
“When I decided to sell my home I contacted Susan and Jen after receiving recommendations from multiple neighbors. It is nearly impossible to express the complexity and difficulties associated with this sale - difficulties that multiplied during the course of the process. But Susan and Jen never wavered in the face of these challenges. They were simultaneously the proverbial port in the storm and the best captains of the ship one could have, managing all of the difficulties and disruptions while continuing to move the process forward. I will be forever grateful for their savvy handling of extreme circumstances and their upbeat spirits. Their patience, grace and wonderful advice were unparalleled.”

"Barrie was fabulous in every way. She is warm, non-judgmental, has a great sense of humor and perspective and is fully engaged and responsive. She knows the community, (both sellers and potential buyers). She is honest, makes the process transparent and straightforward and she has expertise and resources in all the requisite areas so as to get the best price with the least hassle. All in all, I can't recommend her highly enough."
-- Leslie L., February 2020
“We recently relocated to the Boston area from California and Michele helped us find our home here. She went out of her way to make extended time for us during each of our trips East. She scoured the listings to find anything that might be of interest, and sent us daily updates with her personal notes and recommendations. When we came to town each time she was thoroughly prepared with a tour list for us to take in hand, with scheduled appointments back to back to maximize our short time frames.
“When it came down to choosing between a couple of possible homes, Michele navigated us through the process as only a true expert could. In every case, Michele always kept our interests in mind first and foremost.
“Finally when we did make an offer on a home, Michele's negotiating skills completely blew us away. We were ready to present what we thought was a decent offer, but she laid out a strategy that only the most confident, seasoned professional could stand by. Due to her diligence and expertise, she swiftly kept us at the table with the sellers until they agreed on a purchase price that was much less than we even dreamed possible, and with all the terms that we required.
“I do not think that we could have asked any more from Michele Friedler. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor who has the highest experience, confidence and familiarity with the area and listings.”

"Brenda is fantastic and highly recommended. She knows the market exceptionally well, is extremely knowledgeable of the housing stock, local trends and quirks, and has a great network of resources to draw upon for expert advice/services as needed. Brenda guided our search for a new home in Newton. We were targeting a small geographic area with tight reigns on the budget and some strong opinions on what we like and don't like. With low inventory to choose from, our search was neither easy nor quick! Brenda was patient throughout, though, offering pragmatic advice as we navigated the market. Importantly, she probably knew what we wanted even before we did! The process from offer to close was just as seamless and well-supported. Kudos to a great guide and collaborator through the process."
-- John Bower, August 2021
"Brenda seems to know everything there is to know about real estate transactions. Also she knows the Boston area very well--we looked for homes in Arlington, Belmont, Brookline, Brighton, Watertown, and Jamaica Plain. She is extremely responsive and available most any time. Also, she listened very carefully to our ideas of what we were looking for in a home. If we had wanted her to accompany us to open houses, she would have, but our style was to look on our own, and she was happy to let us do that. I would recommend Brenda to any house hunter in Boston and the surrounding area.
Brenda is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of real estate. She is a good listener, and very responsive. She is happy to let the client take the lead or suggest properties herself. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Boston area."
-- Glenna C., April 2014
"Brenda was a consummate professional in every aspect of our home-buying experience. Brenda's responsiveness, in particular, was much appreciated and assisted us greatly, as my wife and I needed to move very quickly. When we identified the home we really wanted, Brenda provided expert guidance as tothe offer price and various closing contingencies. Further, Brenda's recommendations for counsel, home inspector, etc. were spot-on. We could not be happier with how everything turned out, and highly recommend Brenda!"
-- Patrick C., March 2018
“We are writing this letter to describe why Shari Lyons is an amazing persona and an unbelievable Realtor.
“We started working with Shari six months ago when we decided to look for a house. From the beginning, Shari was committed to our goal. It always felt that she was in our corner and taking care of our best interests. Her knowledge and professionalism is beyond words. She always had an answer for us and always had a solution to any problem that we had.
"Shari is excellent at her job. She communicates at every step of the way. She goes above and beyond her responsibilities and she is able to anticipate what you need to have done to acquire the property you want even before you say it. Recommended without reservation!"
-- Maye C., December 2013
“I knew nothing about home-buying and because of her I have the home of my dreams and I found a passion for home-buying. Anyone who works with her is truly lucky!”
