Buying a foreclosure was scary & an emotional roller coaster for us but Marie Presti helped us to buy our dream home for the price we wanted. Now that we have moved in and made it our home, we couldn't be happier! This is the perfect house, perfect location, & the perfect yard. Marie Presti works exceptionally hard & exceeded all of our expectations in the sale of our house as well as the purchase of this new home. I would Highly recommend Marie Presti to anyone buying or selling a home. I'm so glad we chose Marie Presti. If we ever move again, we will definitely use her again.

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.).

Marie is so knowledgeable about the market and has many connections with contractors, inspectors, attorneys, etc. She gave us options for people to contact, which was very helpful. Marie spent a lot of time reaching out to us and making sure we understood each part of the process and answered any questions. This was so crucial as we were first time home buyers. I would definitely recommend Marie to any close friend or family member looking to buy or sell a home.

Marie went above and beyond! Selling a home is a complex and oftentimes stressful transaction and it was wonderful having Marie on your side - guiding, helping and sometimes handholding. She is a truly a professional with invaluable experience and an unflagging work ethic. She is ethical, trustworthy and dependable. You can rest assured that she is "handling it." Being a detail-oriented person who always strives for perfection, I appreciate this immensely. Thank you!

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 helped us buy and later sell our home. She is full of knowledge and has years of experience. Many buyers/sellers are brand new to the process and she is amazing at setting expectations, presenting options and guiding her clients through the process. Just one call to her and we were confident in her abilities and were very happy with the results in both sales.

Marie came highly recommended by a friend when we were looking to purchase a home in the Boston area. When it came time to sell, she was, again, a huge help especially since we were overseas at the time when our condo was being marketed and sold. Her recommendations regarding how to market our condo resulted in an above asking price offer even before the public open house! Marie and her supporting team were wonderful to work with and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her services to family and friends.

Marie Presti went so far above and beyond what we had expected. To market our home she provided an online 3-D tour of our home along with an eight page, full color book of what the home had to offer to every person who came to look at it. She presented a target market of single females and we had four offers all from single females! Her knowledge of real estate is far superior to anyone that I know due to her extensive amount of experience.

We interviewed Marie Presti following an outstanding recommendation of a long time friend. From our first meeting we found her to be extremely professional; prepared, knowledgeable, focused, friendly, collaborative and candid. I had my own market analysis and appraisal done prior to interviewing agents. Following interviews, we had three analyses and all hit at the same value. Marie's strategically aggressive pricing and, marketing efforts based upon unique properties of the home and location, created great demand. Multiple offers (all above asking) came in two days after the public open house. Marie was able to create the scenario in which a bidding war might happen. It did. We sold at 12% over asking (and no contingencies) within three days of the open house. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie Presti. Those lucky enough to hire this talented professional can trust in her unique insight and guidance.

I want to echo the review from Scott H. My wife and I sold our house about 10 days ago with Marie's help. It was a great experience and she did a great job. We could not be happier. Originally, I wasn't sold on the idea of using a real estate agent. I was considering selling the house myself. A friend recommended Marie and she came up and met with us for about two hours. We were impressed and decided to hire her. She did a great job of balancing our input with her expertise. Marie hadn't sold a house in our neighborhood before and was very open to what we had to say. She also was honest about how she saw our house. In the end, we listed the house for an aggressive price and got the full asking price. We not only had one offer at full price but we had a backup offer also at full price if the first one fell through. You couldn't ask for more. One of the great things that she did was bring in a team of "home stagers" to give us guidance on how to prepare the house for sale. We ended up doing everything they suggested and it was worth it. It was a bunch of work getting the house ready to be shown, we had to pack a bunch of stuff and move some furniture around, but it resulted in us getting the price we wanted and selling the house in ten days. She also brought in a professional photographer to take pictures. This wasn't the easiest thing to do since we were taking pictures in February of 2015 and there was about 5 feet of snow on the ground. The pictures did a great job of showcasing the house. Not to sing her praises even more, but she also did a great job of negotiating. The buyer's real estate agent was a bit of a challenge to work with, but Marie represented our interests firmly but politely and in the end, everything went very well. To wrap this up, I would highly recommend Marie if you are selling (or buying) a house in the Boston area. She is very professional, friendly and responsive. We could not be happier.
