My parents sold their home of 54 years this summer. Everyone warned us how exhausting, emotionally trying, and stressful the experience of leaving a longtime home would be. They were not wrong. However, our family could not have done it without the white-glove care, professionalism, and deep well of industry knowledge that Peter and Kathleen brought to this process. They truly cared about my parents and saw to every detail - at no additional cost to the seller. Peter singlehandedly organized the basement (with a half century's worth of stuff) into an open staging area while Kathleen patiently took my mother room by room to make the tough decisions about what to keep and what to give away or sell. They communicated with us throughout to keep us on track. They anticipated each detail about what could go awry and headed off every mishap. Peter fixed things in the house, jobs too small to outsource but necessary to prepare a house for sale. They scheduled people to haul away junk and found antique dealers to come to the house. Peter even found a buyer for my dad's car! In addition - and important to note - Peter and Kathleen are lovely, warm, and trustworthy people who are fun to work with. I feel so grateful for their extraordinary work and expertise.

I would highly recommend Peter as your agent. Peter's team provides a very professional service and always respects the client's interest. Peter is also very responsive and willing to answer any "silly" questions. As my seller's agent, Peter made a lot of effort to make the whole procedure smooth and successful. Great job!

In addition to the pleasure of being in the same spaces with Peter and Kathleen, they willingly do tasks in preparation of staging the house. Instead of calling and waiting around for workman to come complete tasks they willingly jump in with tools and know-how to move things along. for example: Paint touch ups, tightening up doors to function perfectly, deliver "not keeping" to appropriate receivers. The list of generous moves goes on and on!

We worked with Peter to sell a long lived in and loved home. Having been a part of five recent real estate transactions, I'm amazed with Peter and his team. It took well over a year from exploring selling to actually taking the plunge. It is involved to spruce up an older home and put it in its best light. It is anxiety provoking to sell a major asset in a town I know little about. Peter and his team went beyond any expectations. Downsizing can be a wonderful opportunity to show parents that they are loved. Part of that is allowing them time to figure out the next stage. Peter first came over a year before we pulled the trigger. I was hesitant to bring on an agent early, fearing pressure to churn a quick commission. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Peter was a source of information and help. His instincts about which shrubs to prune and which rooms to paint were not just lobbed at the family to do lists, but done by him or his army of contractors. Did I mention this took over a year? His patience is admirable. This work is physically demanding for seniors. We were prepared to do anything, but Peter didn't hesitate to take care of everything. Our weekend trips to help out were often not too demanding because Peter had already gotten rid of the old furniture. From our first conversation to the misty eyed final days, Peter and team were constanty thinking of what needed to be done and doing it--proactively offering to help. When offers started coming in Peter saw them with years of wisdom. His patience was clear when cautioning against live offers where he saw red flags. Several things ended up going wrong. The whole time Peter was a rock steady source of wisdom and sanity. From bring on exactly the right engineer to counter a zealous inspector to relentlessly following up with a bank whose error threatened everything, Peter was a calm navigator through rough seas. They are wonderful to work with. I'd not hesitate to work with them again.

I've never seen a broker who works so hard for their client. From day one Peter was there to guide us through this complex process. He was always available by phone/text, email or in person to answer any of our questions or concerns. His knowledge of the market along with his timing for listing the property and scheduling the open house were spot on. If you would like to make the process of selling or buying a home less stressful, I would strongly suggest working with Peter Rooney of the Compass Group.

Thanks a ton to them. They made my first selling experience great! Attractive staging, helpful advice, and very fast response even when it was late in the day or on weekends.

We will never use another realtor, we are Rooney-lifers. Not only are they good at their job, they are funny, kind and we have a lot of fun working with them. We have bought/sold 3 properties under the care and expert guidance of Peter and Kathleen. These two are an absolute delight to work with and make house buying/selling as easy as humanly possible for the owner/buyer. They marketed our recent property perfectly, attracting the kind of buyers who would appreciate the quality and workmanship that we had put into our home. The Rooney's secured us multiple offers, all over asking price.

I saw a listing on a Thursday night and asked Peter if we could see it before the Saturday open house. He called me back within the hour and said we had an appointment in 30 minutes. The condo was exactly what we were looking for and Peter spend the rest of the evening writing up our offer together. His knowledge of the market made it easy for us to make an offer right away that we were comfortable with. Attention to detail- when it was time to do the final walk through, he paid attention to things that should have been removed from the unit and made sure we were not stuck with the disposal of it. Since the unit needed work he made some great suggestions on construction changes and ideas. He delivers so much more than just sell you a property .... he does it all and really does "know" it all.

We were selling my father's house of 62 years. This was no small undertaking in terms of emptying the house, making it ready for showing, and being sensitive to my father, who loved this home. Peter and Kathleen were wonderful. They gained my father's trust by working incredibly hard, and also absorbed much of the stress my siblings and I had in making this sale happen. We were on a very short timeline, and Peter made this happen smoothly and efficiently. They were both at the house regularly, helping to physically declutter and managing all the vendors who were hired to do small jobs to get the house ready for sale. The pricing and marketing were well planned and resulted in 8 offers in a day, 7 over asking price. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell!

Peter and Kathleen made the process of selling my mother's home seamless. They were professional and knowledgeable about what needed to be done to get the house ready for sale. The recommendations were made with thought and care and they made sure whatever we put in for time or money provided the maximum benefit of the sale of our house. Not only are they professional, they are also kind and funny and great to work with!

"Peter is an outstanding broker. He is extremely hard-working, responsive and organized. He turns around thorough answers in a short time and is always hands-on. We purchased a large, old New England home with guest home which required a day long inspection. Peter attended the entire inspection and walk-through afterwards. When we moved in there was 15 inches of snow on the ground so he personally came by early to shovel the walkways knowing we had a big family with kids and grandparents moving in."

"Peter has been extremely helpful in all aspects of my home purchase. He would go the extra mile to help me on resolving problem even after buying the house!"
