Why Work With Us?

"We recently sold a property that was in the family for 56 years. Our home was filled with a lifetime of treasures and memories. Knowing this, Michele and her team were very sensitive and respectful when it came to the sale of the property. Michele met with family members to complete a walk through and provided her expertise when it came to staging the home and directing us through the selling process. 

“Michele was always available to us to answer any questions we had. The house showed and was marketed beautifully. She helped us to entertain offers and accept one that met our needs. The direction, professionalism and kindness Michele and her team provided will long be remembered and always appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure working with Michele and her team."

Earlier this year we hired Julie to sell our house in Newton. Julie is a pleasure to work with: she's smart and has a great deal of business savvy. Julie is considerate, tactful, and she goes the extra mile - all of which take much of the pressure out of the sales process.

We were impressed that Julie remained completely available throughout the transaction and responded to questions even while on vacation. Results speak for themselves and our house sold quickly and fetched a top price for our neighborhood.

I look forward to working with Julie again. And I would definitely recommend her to help buy or sell a property.

“Rachel, thanks for everything. You've been great and worked so hard to help us find a property that was off market and perfect for us.”

We would like potential customers to know that if they need help purchasing or selling real estate, Julie Agarkov from Hammond Real Estate is an excellent resource! We have worked with Julie to sell two Newton homes in just three years. She helped us to sell our long-time family home in Newton Center and then find and buy a lovely, clean, updated condo in Chestnut Hill. Three years later we moved 3000 miles away from Boston and with Julie's help we were able to sell our Chestnut Hill condo at a profit in a time of a real estate sluggish market.

Selling property is detailed work that takes wisdom, negotiation skills and a feel for the market. We are both grateful for Julie as she was able to guide us through the process step by step. While living so far away Julie would regularly contact us via phone or emails with updates, information, questions, considerations and suggestions. She was extremely respectful of our needs and our decisions and gave us plenty of space to discuss our options privately before we would come back to her with our decisions.

"Our experience with Michele was outstanding. She was responsive to all of our questions and needs. She made the home buying experience completely smooth and pleasant. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and communication exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend her as your next real estate agent."

“We’re very happy with the house and the whole process working with you two and Pierre. Thanks for everything!”

“My wife and I worked with Ann Marie Paul and Kathy Krongel for finding a house recently and found it to be a very successful and pleasant experience. We were based in Asia for the past 10 years and were relocating to the Boston area with our 3 children. While I had grown up in the Boston area, my wife had not.  Ann Marie and Kathy were very patient and informative in getting my wife comfortable with the various towns, school systems etc. Ultimately, when we narrowed our selection down to a particular town they were very constructive in identifying various pros and cons to the properties we narrowed our search down to. All of which led to us feeling that we ultimately made an informed decision with our offer. Ann Marie and Kathy were extremely supportive and informative through the closing process and we could not recommend them highly enough.”

“Michael Rothstein has proven himself to be a masterful partner at selling my long-treasured historic Newton house. He and I discussed options and worked through decisions from clear out, ..timing coming to market, in every step of the way.

“I highly recommend Michael Rothstein! I keep referring many friends to him.  He has proven himself to be skillful, imaginative, strategic and importantly ...good humored!”

"Brenda helped us purchase our new home in Newton MA. She is knowledgeable, professional, clear yet diplomatic, and she is easy to work with. She possesses extensive and nuanced knowledge of the Greater Boston real estate market. She was very responsive and was available to work through a variety of topics during the search and during the transaction. I would highly recommend Brenda, and hope, if a chance arises, to work with her again."

“Our choice to have Susan Detz be our seller’s agent was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She anticipated our concerns, offered great advice, and facilitated solutions at every point, all of which worked to make the sale of our condo a success. Her integrity, thoroughness, and good common sense made it a joy to work with her. I kept saying ‘Susan, you go above and beyond’ to which she always replied, ‘just doing my job.’ She does it very well.”
