Roland has been the most extraordinary realtor I have met and done business with to date. Roland goes above and way beyond what I would have expected a realtor to do! His calming demeanor bridged some stressful moments. His professionalism, knowledge, quick communication and hands on approach sets Roland miles apart from other realtors! I would highly recommend Roland to anyone I know buying or selling a home. Roland is truly a champion in our opinion! Thank you Roland! We will never forget your ability to make this transaction happen!

Roland went above and beyond what I would expect a realtor to do. The house was owned by my 91 year old father in law and was not able to do much. My husband his only child is not well and was also not able to do much. Everything including the health care of the two of them fell on me. Without his assistance we would not have been able to list the house. I recommend him highly.

I'm very happy with Roland Gelinas as my realtor. He is very knowledgeable. I was dreading selling, and buying, but Roland was extremely helpful especially when I was stressing out. He was calm and made the transition easier. Thank you.

Roland went above and beyond in helping us sell our house and to find the perfect place to buy. He worked countless hours in preparing our house for the market. We still can’t believe his hard work and the physical labor. He is a stickler for detail. As a realtor, he has all the right tools. He is extremely patient, incredibly knowledgeable about his work including the market, tireless in all of his efforts, and does an incredible job networking all aspects of the real estate world, including fellow agents, contractors, etc. I’m a believer in the motto that “if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t”. Roland is the exception. He has a very calming demeanor, makes gaining your trust a priority, and treats your home and investment as if it were his own. He was there for us every step of the way, and then some!

We met Roland by chance as the listing agent for the home next to ours. We immediately felt connected! Selling our 200 year old farmhouse after 35 years was emotional. Roland understood our connection to the home and our desire to find the right buyer for it. He listed our house with fantastic photos and a enticing description, creating much interest. He hosted open houses almost every weekend. He was realistic and honest with us about price, market conditions and projected time frame for sale. He sought out antique home magazines in which to list the house. He created mock up photos of several rooms, showing how else they might be used or furnished. He treated the property as if it were his own. He was patient, yet aggressive with leads, following up on each one while always keeping us in the loop. He ultimately found the perfect buyer and facilitated a smooth closing. We couldn’t have chosen a better agent with whom to work and recommend him without reservation!

Roland began by meeting me for coffee and explained in detail how the process would be with getting my home in ready condition prior to the sale. He then scheduled a walk-through with Joy so that they could eliminate any items that would not aid in the proper staging of the home. In their staging efforts, they went above and beyond by painting two rooms over completely and finishing certain repair work. They assisted in cleaning as well! The transformation was incredible. Roland was always at the ready to answer any questions and his use of technology really made the review and signing of documents easy and user-friendly. He was responsive, accessible and always followed up. His final steps were to provide some finishing paint touch-ups and Joy offered to perform the last broom-sweeping of the home. They were both a pleasure to work with!

We met Roland & Joy by chance and told them we were looking to right size, but we were in no rush to sell or buy. Three months later we get a call from Roland about a house that he felt we might be interested in and we were. Roland and Joy's work ethic is far superior to any agent that I have ever met and I have met many in my years. His commitment to our goals and ideas were above our expectations. When we finally bought our house he was there every step of the way. Soon after our purchase, we put our other house on the market and Roland and Joy step right up. Staging our house and giving us great insight to the current market and what was needed to sell our house. They are meticulous, and put in many "sweat hours" of labor into getting our house ready. They are the only people that I would recommend to buy or sell a house. If you want someone that is only interested in what you want then you must go with Roland and Joy. They are not just selling your home they are working 24/7 for you and only you. NO ONE DOES IT BETTER!!!!!

So glad we had Roland as our agent for the purchase of our home. He was extremely knowledgeable, very patient and went above and beyond. It was very reassuring knowing he was with us every step of the way. He worked hard to ensure that we were comfortable with every decision that was made. We would absolutely work with Roland again and will definitely be recommending him going forward.

We had the pleasure of working with Roland on selling our home and buying a new one. He was pleasant and confident during the whole process. He is very knowledgeable of the market and the current trends. He is kind and caring and I felt truly listened to our concerns. He worked hard to meet our needs and got back to us quickly. He went above and beyond to help us get our house ready for sale. He and his wife, Joy, staged our home and painted in preparation of the sale. When it came time to purchase our new home, he was patient with us while we narrowed down our search for exactly what we wanted. He is trustworthy and gave us great recommendations for a lawyer, home inspector, and house repair work. We highly recommend him as an agent.

In my 10 years as a property developer I have been around many real estate agents and Roland is absolutely one of the best. He understands what needs to be done, and is willing to go above and beyond to meet my needs as a client. I find him to be an exceptional agent and I always recommend him to others. Due to his hard work and knowledge Roland will be my agent for both purchases and sales of all our properties.

Roland worked tirelessly on our behalf to creatively present our home, using multiple advertising venues including several open houses, effective use of social media, and even walking the neighborhood with flyers. He listened to our wants and needs and negotiated fairly in our best interest but also realistically and with sensitivity to the buyer. I would hire Roland again without hesitation. In fact I have recommended Roland to two close friends. We trusted Roland, completely, and appreciated his feedback and optimism.

Roland helped us to better understand the current real estate market in Northampton. He made the selling process a breeze with his experience and valuable skills. He helped stage the house for the multiple open houses and showings he held, and always kept us up to date. Roland is a dependable agent who was always available by phone/email to answer our questions.
