Very responsive and transparent
Stayed in communication, great assertiveness to get things prepared, straight flow from start to finish.
Charlie and Bonnie have been patient through a long and arduous house hunt. They have helpful tips for each stage and made time to come with my to many open houses
The only thing I know, everything was perfect
My second time working with Alissa, first the buy and now the sale of the same unit. Both transactions flawless. This one was done mostly long distance, which I don’t think I could’ve done without her help coordinating locally. Thank you again.
We had an excellent experience working with Linda Hayes throughout the sale of our home. From the beginning, she provided valuable guidance in preparing the property for the market and was always available to address our questions and concerns. We truly felt that our best interests were her top priority. Selling a home can be a stressful process, but Linda’s professionalism and extensive experience made everything feel seamless. She expertly guided us through each stage of the transaction, ensuring a smooth and successful sale. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. It felt like working with an old friend, and we highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Linda helped our son find and purchase a single family home in Marblehead a few months ago, so when we decided to move to the area as well, we definitely wanted her as our agent. She quickly tuned into our taste and desires, and eventually we purchased a single family home that we are excited to move into. Linda is positive, energetic, and discerning. Her experience, knowledge and professionalism shine through. We are very grateful that she helped us through this process.
Alissa made the whole process of selling my house easier than I could have imagined. She was very knowledgeable of the current market, made helpful suggestions on preparing the property for showing, put together beautiful marketing materials, hosted two very productive Open Houses, and provided ongoing communications with me throughout the process through the closing. I appreciated her positive energy and would highly recommend the this bright professional to handle all real estate needs.
Alissa helped us with understanding the value of the neighborhood we were buying into and the potential for our new home. She is a valuable resource as she lives in Newburyport and was able to share many local recommendations. Alissa and her assistant, Hannah, were exceptional and we would love to work with them again in the future!
