“Debbie is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to guide us in purchasing our first family home. We are forever grateful for her kindness, patience, and expert insight as we navigated the market. She would drop everything with utter devotion when we pursued an offer, guiding us through each step. She listened attentively and cared deeply for our family’s dream of purchasing a home. After buying, she continued to support us in offering helpful recommendations for contractors, electricians, plumbers, etc. She was such a joy to work with and we cannot recommend her more highly!”

"Barrie is an incredible Realtor! As first-time homebuyers, we were very intimidated by the entire process, but Barrie guided us every step of the way. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and made everything feel like a breeze.

"Thanks to her expertise and guidance, our offer was accepted over six others in a highly competitive situation. Her dedication and strategic approach gave us confidence throughout the process.

"Our new home is so much more than we ever expected, and we couldn't have done it without her. We are beyond grateful for all of her hard work and support, and we highly recommend Barrie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"

"Debby was a dream to work with during our Newton home sale. Right from the start, her thoroughness and professional skills gave us immense confidence. Because we were living on the opposite side of the country, we needed someone we could trust implicitly, and Debby exceeded every expectation. She managed all the local logistics and kept us in the loop, so we never had to worry about not being there in person. She is incredibly action-oriented and remained impressively responsive despite the difference in time zones, making the entire journey feel easy and well-managed. We truly appreciated her thoughtful advice and the hard work she put in to get us a great result. We would absolutely work with her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a dedicated expert to have in their corner!"

“Dear Richard: Working with you was an absolute game-changer. From our first meeting, it was clear you had a deep understanding of the local market. You provided a data-backed strategy that resulted in our home selling quickly at our asking price. Your professionalism and attention to detai kept the entire process stress-free, especially the tricky inspection navigation. We have been telling our friends if you want someone who is a local market expert and actually delivers results look no further!”

"We cannot recommend Maxine Malka Freedman at Hammond Realty highly enough. This was the third property we’ve worked on with her, and once again, she proved exactly why we keep coming back. This purchase came together under an incredibly tight timeline. We reached out to Maxine in the morning to re-engage her as our agent, requested a showing, and submitted an offer, all in the same day. She made it happen seamlessly. Her responsiveness, organization, and calm efficiency turned what could have been a stressful scramble into a smooth, well-coordinated process.

"During our visit to the property, her expertise truly shone. Homes in this area are historic and often come with hidden issues. Maxine was attentive to every detail, pointing out potential warning signs and offering thoughtful, insightful commentary throughout. Her knowledge during negotiations gave us tremendous confidence, and we felt fully supported at every step. Most importantly, we moved forward feeling secure, knowing we had a trusted, experienced advocate in our corner. Maxine is sharp, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable, but also genuinely invested in her clients’ success. We are so grateful to have her as our agent and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!"

Ava Amiri is a champion realtor. My apartment in Coolidge Corner was a rental for many years and I first knew Ava as a rental agent. She consistently found me stellar tenants for over a decade.

Recently I put the apartment on the market for sale. When I was thinking of the timing of the sale, I had the spring 2026 market in mind, but during a conversation with Ava she said that if we got our ducks in a row “now” we could still participate in the end of the fall 2025 market.That is what we did, or rather, what she did. It exhausts me to think about how hard she worked to get all the moving parts coordinated for open houses, including choosing nice ornamental touches to make an empty apartment seem less barren, and all of the details that go into making a condo ready to show and sell.

She went the extra mile in all kinds of ways like repeatedly nudging the condo management company that was slow to get certain documents prepared for the sale, suggesting a real estate attorney when mine was going to be out of the country and many other things. She didall of this with a calm, cheerful, and professional manner. When the offers came in, she prepared a spreadsheet that clearly showed the different components of each offer. In every way she made a stressful life event so much more manageable for me. In less than a month we went from the idea of selling to closing. Look no further! Ava will do a great job for you!
