Knows the Market - On top of it!

Joe is a great realtor to work with and I highly recommend him! He knows the Boston market and works very diligently from beginning to the end! He takes the time to learn what you are looking for and holds your hand the entire way thru. He is also a joy to work with!

Ace of an Agent

Joe is extremely knowledgeable on the demographics of New England. Whether single w/dog or married with 3 kids, he will know exaxtly where you need to be. We bought in a low supply, high demand market. When it was time to buy, he communicated & facilitated actionable items with other agents, lenders, VA, and underwriters at a rapid pace. He and his team put the utmost care into our journey from the West Coast. We are/were thankful for his service to us as we transitioned. PS- It's been about a month and we absolutely love our location.

We are thankful for Joe!

We feel so thankful to have worked with Joe to find our dream home. He listened to what we envisioned and through thoughtful discussions, he helped shape our very messy initial vision into a clear vision that met all of our wants and needs. He was so patient with us, I mean we may have looked at >50 homes. We are quick to jump to things so he challenged us in the right way to ensure we were not rushing into something we would later regret. He is truly one of a kind! We think of him now as a live long friend!

Absolutely fantastic buying experience.

It's very stressful to buy a house and Joe made the process as painless and easy as possible. It was actually fun working with him! His process was airtight and made the search easy -- by structuring our needs, desires and wants and honing in on the right property type, we didn't get bogged down in unnecessary trips. Joe is affable, funny, engaging, and knew how to handle the details. Selling our old place was a breeze. He has the right contacts in the real estate and legal community to assist with the paperwork process. And he even connected us with an amazing mortgage broker who made the process of getting financing very easy. In short, hire this man if you are buying or selling!

Details Matter

We wanted to make sure our offer stood out in a difficult buyers market. Joe read the listing's fine print and understood that they would accept offers early. Joe scrambled to put our offer together (on a Sunday) and they accepted before all other offers were due. It's easy to stand out when you're the first and only offer. I'm not sure we would be living in our home had we used a different agent. The details matter and Joe gets details.
