Marie is an excellent real estate agent. She's extremely knowledgeable about the home buying process, very well-connected, and an excellent negotiator. After agreeing to a price, the house appraised at a significantly lower value, and Marie was able to get the seller to take $20,000 off of our agreed upon price!
I had spoken with another broker prior to meeting Marie. Unfortunately when they became aware that I was a first time buyer with a budget of $250,000 they brushed me off saying I would have to look elsewhere. I met Marie strictly by chance, and what a lucky meeting that was for me! She really made me feel like she was ready to work for me. I told her I had a place in mind and she took me to see it the same evening. When they say they go the extra block, they really mean it! Marie's entire team and the lawyer she suggested I work with were wonderful. They made the process of buying my first home very easy. I would recommend the Presti Group to anyone looking to buy a new home. I now live in the very property we first went to see. Its been a month and The Presti Group has continued to stay in touch and help with any questions or concerns I have. I am very happy with my new home and my experience with Marie and the Presti Group. I corresponded via email and text as well as did my walk through with Maureen. Like Marie she was very nice and accommodating. Being a younger person, a woman and a first time home buyer it's easy to not be taken seriously. I never felt uncomfortable or patronized in any way by any one at the Presti Group. They truly know how to treat their clients.
We were confident buyers with Marie helping us. Once we found our house, we got more than we would have even tried bargaining for if we hadn't had her valuable guidance and support. During the process of finding our home, Marie was extremely patient with us, and with various family members from kids to grandparents, introducing us to the different neighborhoods of Newton and making herself available to meet the demands of our difficult schedule. In closing, Marie Presti is very pleasant and professional to work with, she is passionate about her job, she's a seasoned negotiator, and and she's unusually committed to helping her clients find their perfect home. We cannot recommend her strongly enough!

We were so thankful to have Marie as our agent for the purchase of our first home. She was honest and trustworthy and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. Would strongly recommend her to others.
Marie was fantastic to work with, and the process could not have gone more smoothly! We purchased a home and were dealing with an especially aggressive listing agent. Marie navigated things exceptionally well, starting with the offer phase all the way through to the closing. She also conducted a market analysis on the property, which helped us determine fair market value and identify a strategy that would help us get the home for the best price. Marie is known for her real estate and business acumen and her interest in building strong relationships with her clients. She also has a strong network of professionals (inspectors, real estate attorneys, contractors, etc.), which we found very useful. Most importantly, we felt we could really trust Marie. Working with someone who has so much experience and who you can trust gave us tremendous piece of mind. We highly recommend Marie Presti!!!
When I asked a friend about their experience with Marie Presti, I got very strong words for recommendation, and my own experience later proved it! Marie provided valuable suggestions regarding preparation, got us an excellent staging company; Marie even arranged a junk removal company for us. The result speaks loudly. Marie sold our apartment in one weekend at a price higher than what we expected. We would recommend Marie to ANYONE who considers to sell their property in the area (Brookline, Newton, etc.).
I first met Marie at a class for first time Home Buyers. What I immediately liked about her was her desire to educate. To say that buying your first home is nerve racking is an understatement. Needless to say, Marie was on speed dial for all sorts of questions throughout the process. Not only was she very responsive, she often spent additional time with us to ensure our needs were met. Once we found our home Marie stayed with us during our home inspection and fought to get us a fair deal. Since we've closed on the house she's come by to see our renovations and there's no question she'll be our realtor for life! We've already recommended Marie to a few friends and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy our sell a home without hesitation.
Marie Presti was wonderful with all of her help in getting us our dream house. She truly went above and beyond for us. She educated us about how to make the right decision, and she provided great recommendations about complex decisions in the home-buying process. She has a great attention to detail and helped us to be aware of issues that may come up in the process. She was a great support in helping to negotiate to get the price we wanted.

Marie Presti worked incredibly hard from day one until it was sold. She sold this house in an area she was not familiar with but that did not phase her in the least. Marie has stepped in and succeeded where a local " star" broker had failed in two different houses . Marie is has out performed all brokers I have ever worked with. She is now my go to broker.
