Buyer of 20390 Enright Way, Farmington
Herbie is great at communicating and letting know where we are at in the process. He gets back to us promptly and always had great information. He was there every step of the way making sure the process went well and letting us know what to expect.
Seller of 409 Willow Street, Farmington
Herbie went far above and beyond at each step, from our initial meeting in August, to walking out of closing in February. He did the little things and the big things, and things he did not need to do. If I were to rate him out of 5 stars, I give him 6. I cannot recommend him strongly enough! I am highly impressed, and feel very lucky to have had him walk me through what could have been a very stressful time. Thank you so much, Herbie!
Buyer of XXXX Cambodia Avenue, Farmington
We’ve been working with Herbie for the past 3-4 years trying to find the perfect lot for our family and business — and he has been nothing short of amazing! Herbie was always quick to respond, patient, and incredibly dedicated through the entire process. Even when I sent him the same properties multiple times or changed my mind, he never made me feel like I was wasting his time. He always went above and beyond to help us understand our options and make the right choice. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients really stand out. We finally found the perfect spot, and it’s all thanks to Herbie’s hard work, knowledge and persistence. I can’t recommend him enough!

Buyer of 1601 Spruce Street, Farmington
From the very beginning, Julie was an exceptional agent to work with. We first met her at an open house in Lakeville, and right away we felt comfortable with her approach. She listened closely to what we were looking for—both the must‑haves and the nice‑to‑haves—and she quickly understood the type of home and layout that would best suit our needs. Her ability to match us with the right floor plan made the entire search and building process feel more focused and less overwhelming. Throughout the build, Julie offered thoughtful guidance based on her experience. She pointed out things that would be more cost‑effective or practical to include during construction rather than waiting to do later. Her advice saved us both time and money, and it helped us make decisions we feel truly confident about. One of the qualities we appreciated most about Julie was her quiet, professional, and calming demeanor. She never made us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, she made us feel heard, valued, and supported at every step. We always felt she was advocating for us and looking out for our best interest, from the first showing to the final details of the purchase. Julie was wonderful to work with, and we are grateful for everything she did to help us find and build our new home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to her clients.

Buyer of 20534 Cypress Drive, Farmington
Paul was so incredibly helpful, going above and beyond what normal agents do. He knew that we were planning to replace the flooring in the townhouse that we bought, so he went out of his way to take us to several stores to explain the difference in the different types of vinyl tiles. Also, his market knowledge was amazing, and helped provide good advice throughout the process. Thank you, Paul!!
