very helpful whenever I called. Wonder knowledge of the market.
We had a wonderful experience working with Alissa on the sale of our condo in Amesbury. What we expected to be a fairly straightforward sale unexpectedly hit a snag right before closing, and Alissa was exactly the person we wanted in our corner. She helped us navigate a very stressful situation with professionalism, creativity, persistence, and a calm, practical approach. She stayed on top of everything, kept communication moving between all the parties involved, and was always looking for the next solution rather than getting stuck on the problem. Most importantly, she just plain gets the job done. Alissa is also incredibly personable and easy to work with. You feel like you have someone genuinely invested in getting you across the finish line, not just someone handling a transaction. We were so happy with how she represented us that we will be using her again to sell another home this winter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Alissa has sold 4 homes for my family. All quite quickly at full price or beyond. She also helped us buy a home recently, giving us great advice on negotiating with the ideal buyer!
This was the second time I worked with Sean. Home buying is a stressful and involved process but Sean makes it a breeze. I really appreciate his proactive communication, attention to detail, and wealth of experience he offers when it comes to real estate. That's why I came back to Sean and will always recommend him to anyone who is in the market for selling or buying a home.
With Marc, I didn’t just buy an amazing house and sell our current house. We gained a friend too! Truly an experienced, kind, and understanding agent. He leaned in with curiosity to understand our needs, always listened to all of our million requests, pushbacks, and rollercoaster of emotions. With him, we were able to find the most amazing house in Swampscott with a deal we felt good about, and also sold our house. I never realized how important it is to have an agent who brings you along the entire journey. Never telling us what to do, but rather guiding us and asking us questions to lead us to the best decision. Couldn’t recommend Marc more!!
Tamara exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism. In a highly localized and relationship-driven market, she took the time to understand my objectives, set clear expectations, and negotiate an outstanding purchase while ensuring a fair outcome for all parties. Her deep knowledge of the Massachusetts real estate market, strategic guidance, and unwavering commitment made every aspect of the transaction seamless. She anticipated challenges, addressed every question with confidence, and remained focused on achieving the best possible result—ultimately delivering an exceptional return on the sale. I cannot overstate the caliber of her professionalism, expertise, and integrity. Whether buying or selling in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or any market she serves, Tamara would be my first call without hesitation. She is, without question, among the very best in the business.
Marc made buying my home in Lynnfield such a great experience. He brought knowledge, excellent advice, and top-tier communication from day one. I always felt like a priority and knew I was in great hands. I have recommended Marc to my friends and family who are looking for a house in the area!
When we were not really planning to move, I found a listing that came up on a Thursday morning and we had an appointment that afternoon. It was just what I wanted in a 3 bdrm condo to start the downsizing process. Kathleen and Peter Rooney were so thoughtful and realistic with what this really meant in terms of a major life change. They now continue to help us get ready to sell our existing home. Their knowledge of the market has made each decision much easier. We got the condo among competitive bids based on their advise.
Lynne is the ultimate in knowledge and professionalism, she has a friendly and approachable demeanor as well as the ability to be a determined negotiator for her clients interests. She has demonstrated her proven abilities in the sale of 2 houses for my Family and we recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a Realtor with Lynne’s proven values
We picked Alissa to sell our house even before we bought it. We had seen her in action at many open houses over the two years we were searching and knew that she priced to perfection and did as well as it was possible to do for her sellers. Fast forward a few years when it was time for us to sell I gave her a call. She provided clear instructions for what we needed to do to prepare the house for showing (which we followed exactly), orchestrated an excellent multimedia marketing campaign that presented the house at its best, priced it perfectly and ran a smooth sales process to completion. She is absolutely the best realtor in Newburyport.
