What My Clients Say
"Tina, many thanks for the great work you did for us. We now have a wonderful home and you taught us more than we ever expected to learn from our first home buying experience. You handled all our concerns very professionally, and gave us advice which was both thoughtful and friendly. We very much liked your approach of giving us the best possible information and advice so we could make our own choices, and you never tried to make the big decisions for us. Your friendly and warm personality made us comfortable talking to you anytime we had questions. We will miss talking to you."
Sincerely,
Ari and Hiromi, Hamilton, MA
"Our situation was a bit unique. We moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Andover, MA and luckily met Tina who helped us find a wonderful, beautiful home and became a friend as well. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we found ourselves relocating back to Arizona after three years. We called Tina again, but it was a very different market from the one we had experienced a few short years before. Due to Tina’s untiring persistence, her endless patience, and her consummate professionalism, she sold our house in a very challenging market. My only regret in selling the house is that I am no longer in daily contact with Tina. I think, however, that I may call her just to chat because I completely miss her friendship. She is not only the best realtor ever, but a dear friend."
Sally and Frank D. , Phoenix, AZ
"Tina, you have been a pleasure to work with, right from day 1 when we first came up to Salem and Beverly not quite knowing what to expect, since we had only arrived from California a couple of days earlier.
We couldn’t have picked someone better to help us, from showing us numerous houses to your tour of the local area, we quickly got an appreciation of the North Shore and knew it was the place we wanted to live.
The whole process was smooth and uneventful, which is exactly what we were looking for in closing on our first home. You have also become a friend, something we value greatly and we couldn’t be happier. So thank you for all your hard work and support, it has been invaluable and you will absolutely be the first person we ask when it comes time to move in a few years time!"
Susan and Andrew W. (Beverly)
"Tina - It was so great working with you on the sale of 75 Conant Street. You are a credit to your profession. Thank you so much for the beautiful wine basket - it was above and beyond!
We feel we have met a new friend in addition to a great Realtor - we'll spread the word!
Hope to see you soon.
Thanks again."
Fran and Mary (Beverly, MA)
"This long overdue letter acknowledging our appreciation for your fine work on our behalf is, at last, a reality.
As we concluded the successful purchase of another income property, we thought it a fitting time to reflect on the guidance and assistance you have cheerfully given us, and thank you again, this time in writing.
The process of transacting a home sale or purchase is dense with details, laden with surprises and, quite simply, is never "simple". You always exhibit a number of essential qualities that help us navigate the turbulent waters of home buying to yield highly successful outcomes.
You are "patient", and for those of us who have limited tolerance for stalled negotiations, ever-changing appointments and the seemingly endless reams of real estate documents, we both need and value your patience in guiding us through the process.
"Persistence" is another quality you bring to these proceedings. There are so many crossroads that one faces in buying/selling real estate that can confuse and confound, that it often immobilizes and heightens the temptation to quit. Your encouragement and persistence help us to keep on keeping on. Thank you.
"Professionalism" is really the umbrella that covers all and you embody total professionalism through your continued quest for knowledge, staying abreast of all industry changes and developments and your use of technology, but mostly through your genuine desire to serve. Regardless of time, place or situation, your customer focused approach merits our praise, our trust, our sincere thanks and our continued business. And you manage to make it all fun too! We look forward to our next acquisition and to working with you to make it happen! Sincerely, Kevin" - Kevin and Susan R. (Hamilton, MA)
"The house sale worked out great. We were fortunate to sell so quickly and get what we did for it. Your advice was right on. We were glad my mother was out before the monsoon came. Thanks again for all your help. Another satisfied customer." - Larry N. (North Carolina)
"As I have told you before, I am so happy, and feel very blessed, to have had the good fortune to work with you during this ordeal. Your calmness, honesty, integrity and extreme organization were invaluable. I know this wasn't an easy sale, and I really thank you for your patience and sensitivity." - Christina K. (Lynn, MA)
"A few years ago, I began to feel that the home I had come to love was probably not suitable to my situation and stage of life. I spoke with Tina who suggested that I might consider selling and finding a better location for me, closer to grandchildren, etc." "...On hearing what she believed I could accomplish with a sale, including relieving me of mortgage payments, high real estate taxes and all that goes with home ownership, I began to realize that it made real sense for me." "...Tina stood by me, finding the right buyer almost immediately, even during the winter months..." "...Then began the look for a new place and patiently she showed me the many options which were available to me and when I finally found a spot I would feel more comfortable in, she smoothed the way for that to happen." "...An individual who is totally detail-oriented, she covered all the "what ifs" and I didn't have to think about them." "...If you want a worry-free purchase or sale of your home, she's the one!" - Joanne C. (Salem, MA)
"...Tina skillfully and tactfully guided us through the process of making an offer on the new home, readying our home for sale and establishing a reasonable, but advantageous price. We met with Tina on numerous occasions, and she always accommodated our schedule, returned calls within minutes and attentively listened to our goals and needs." "...Tina's attentiveness and follow-through were consistent throughout the entire process. She suggested ways to highlight our home's features to prospective buyers that we might have overlooked. She was able to discuss retaining walls with our inspector while simultaneously holding the attention of our three-year old daughter. While another realtor might have lagged in responding to our last minute questions after signing the Purchase and Sale Agreements, she answered us with the same promptness and enthusiasm that she demonstrated on our first meeting." "...Our house went on the market on a Tuesday. We can only imagine how hard Tina must have been working while we were enjoying our Thanksgiving turkey because by Friday we were sharing leftover pie and accepting a full-price offer." - Chris and Colleen M. (Beverly, MA)
"As first-time home buyers, my wife and I wanted a realtor we could trust to help us ask the right questions, find the best houses in our price range, and show us around may of the neighborhoods we were unfamiliar with. Thank goodness for Tina! She was tireless and trustworthy, perhaps the two most important qualities you could ask for in a realtor." "...Tina was knowledgeable, helpful, and above all a pleasure to work with. She would always follow up on any questions we had about the properties we were looking at, and she made us feel like we were her most important clients. We couldn't have found our house without her." - Josh and Penelope R. (Beverly, MA)
"My wife Anne and I were in a unique situation where we were looking to move out of Boston where we living for about 7 years and into a home somewhere up on the North Shore."..."Tina was able to spend a substantial amount of time with us driving around the North Shore introducing us to all of the areas. When we eventually started attending open houses, Tina doubled as a babysitter for Faith and sat in our car with her while we went in and checked out all the homes. Our home buying experience was very smooth and the dedication and time that Tina committed to us made it very easy. Looking back on the experience, we started the process with a professional realtor, and ended the process with a new friend." - Scott N. (Beverly, MA)
