Open House: Sat 1-2View Listing

We secretly wish we could buy and sell property often just so that we can work with Kris. He is a very knowledgeable and skilled real estate agent but also a wonderful person. The first time we worked with Kris he was actually our seller's agent. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the Boston area, the real estate market, his laid back and non-sales-y demeanor, his knowledge of home construction, attentiveness to both the seller and the buyer, and his vast network of top professionals in other fields related to the home buying, selling, and home renovation. When we decided to sell our place and look for a larger home we called Kris and not our original agent. As expected, the process was smooth and easy - he sold our condo in 2 days and helped us to secure our dream home. We can't recommend his services enough. In addition, he is a pleasure to be around. We really do believe he is an expert in every field. If you want a to work with a great real estate agent, who will go above and beyond, who is knowledgeable and a great negotiator, look no further than Kris MacDonald.

We HIGHLY recommend Lisa Sullivan as your agent. We are first time home buyers and met Lisa through an open house. She was just leaving as the selling agent but re-opened the home for us to look at. After discussing exactly what was important to us in a home, what area and what price range we were looking for, Lisa immediately updated us on homes currently on the market, homes coming on the market, and homes being built that will come in the future. She was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect and clearly well connected. She responds almost immediately to calls, texts and emails and always kept us updated with pre-screened listings that came available. Lisa went above and beyond during every stage of the process including pre-screening homes on her own time during the day since she knew that we both worked greater than full-time hours and she did not want to show us a home that wasn't up to our standards (even though some of the online listings looked fairly good). By doing this, Lisa saved us many days and hours of setting up unnecessary appointments for viewings which allowed us to stay focused and the second home we viewed was the home of our dreams. Based on her expertise and experience she guided us through putting in an offer ahead of the scheduled open house and advised us of a reasonable offer that ultimately ended up in the seller accepting and shutting down the scheduled open house. We got an amazing value on our home and couldn't be happier! In addition, Lisa was extremely flexible and understanding and was able to help arrange the home inspection the very next day and stayed in contact with the seller's agent, our mortgage banker and our attorney...particularly when dates and deadlines are so important to ensure we did not loose the home over an oversight or delay. Some electrical work needed to be done before moving in, according to the inspection report, and Lisa voluntarily met an electrician during a weekday to get an estimate of cost and timeline for the work (since we are quite busy during the week); she even volunteered to meet the electrician at a time after the home closing to open the doors and supervise the repair work on our behalf. I realize this is our first home buying process, but Lisa Sullivan was EVERYTHING we needed in an agent: professional, kind, knowledgeable, understanding, patient, experienced, flexible, motivated, punctual, reliable, honest, hard working, and she 100% acted in OUR best interest throughout the entire process. We are so blessed to have met Lisa and worked with her and we hope that you take the opportunity to do so too!

Mary represented me in both buying and selling a single-family home. She was an enormous help in guiding me through the buying and selling process, and got a very good deal for me in both sales. I am happy to recommend her to anyone.

Lisa was an amazing, encouraging, and reassuring resource throughout the entire home buying process. As a first time homebuyer, I was a bit anxious about the process. She walked me through each step, offering clear explanations along the way. She was really thoughtful about guiding me through the negotiation process. Lisa is professional, responsive, and supportive. I highly recommend working with Lisa! I would definitely seek her support if I'm ever in the market again!

It was a wonderful experience working with Sue. As a first time home buyer she walked me through the process from start to finish and was always available to answer any questions I had. She was very patient and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable that I was making the right desicion. Sue is a top knotch realtor and I would definitely recommend her to anybody who is looking to buy or sell.

Linda is the very best type of person you want on your side during this major life moment. Her honesty, integrity and general care of you as a person makes the experience an exciting adventure, since you know you have the best guide with you for the journey. Her insight and intuition made me successful in finding the house of my dreams.

What can we say about Mary Devlin? Lovely person and a TRUE real estate professional. It doesn’t get better than Mary Devlin, I promise. She knows her stuff people! We were pretty clueless and completely unprepared for selling a house and finding another. She genuinely cared that our family got what we needed for our house and found the new home of our dreams. She worked extremely hard to make both of those things happen! She was with us every step of the way with the sale of our home in West Roxbury and the purchase of a new one in Norwood. She did everything to make what could have been an especially stressful transition a smooth one! She was always available when we had questions, she continuously had new homes for us to look at and gave us stellar advice. She is a no nonsense negotiator and knows what to look for. Not to mention our kids loved her. Mary staged our house beautifully, busted her butt at open houses, and even helped me clean the house!! I mean come on! We really can't thank her enough. She helped us in so many ways. It’s a no brainer folks. Mary is amazing. You will not be disappointed. We were very fortunate to have had Mary as our agent. You will be too. -Siobhan and Patrick

Absolutely loved working with you and we're so lucky to have been referred to you by a friend who you helped buy a house twenty years ago. It was incredibly valuable that you have such a deep knowledge of Roslindale, West Roxbury, and Jamaica Plain; we had total faith that your experience and market knowledge helped us find the right (perfect) home and know what a fair price point was. Plus, you struck a right balance of informing us about the real estate process and having your opinions about things, but letting us develop our own judgements and ultimately make decisions. We benefited from your expertise but weren't railroaded by it. You were also responsive, supportive, and caring throughout the entire process, with all the high stakes, emotional and financial, we really appreciated that. We've recommended you to our friends and would be happy to speak to anyone about our experience. Thank you!

There is no one like Linda! Not only does she know the market inside and out, but she also takes time to get to know her clients well, and treats them with respect, humor, and a caring intelligence. She worked with us carefully to think about what we needed to to do our home to sell it, and made sure to schedule open houses and visits so that they didn't intrude too badly on our personal lives. At the height of the market crash she was able to sell our home in about 4 months and price it correctly. This was the second property she sold for me in about 20 years and I also used her to buy my first condo, and every one of these experiences has gone as well as I had hoped.

Personal recommendation of our Realtor Mary Devlin. My husband and I lived in a townhouse after we were married and were looking to sell that property and purchase our first ‘real’ home together. It seemed like such a daunting and overwhelming task that we kept putting it off, until finally it could wait no longer. But we were clueless as to what to do. When my husband bought our townhouse he did all the work on his own: researching, viewing, setting up visits etc…and the realtor showed up at the closing to collect their commission. So, as two very busy professionals with hectic scheduled we were drawing straws as to who would actually do the leg work. But, luck shined down on us and we found Mary. From start to finish, because of Mary, the process that we dreaded and had nightmares about was exciting and produced a result better that we could have imagined. First Mary met with us. In a very relaxed conversation she asked us questions that helped us figure out what we wanted (trust me, we didn’t even know what we didn’t know!) and more importantly she listened. She REALLY listened….and within hours she started sending us listings that she had already reviewed and narrowed down as potentials. Also, she did this based on what we now know is a ridiculous area of interest: We weren’t sure where we would land, so we looking in a radius of approximately 60 miles…yes, we were crazy. But she didn’t blink, and before we knew it we had open houses set up all over…and she worked with us not only to find the house of our dreams, but to understand the ins and outs of neighborhood and all the ‘other’ stuff. So, that was the buying part… Then there’s the selling part. Mary is magic. She set a date for our open house and she told us what to do. We spend a day of storing and purging and then we disappeared for a day while Mary worked her magic. We came home to a house that was staged to look better than it ever had. It looked so nice we considered staying for a half second… So, the open house and a few following private showings (all of which Mary handled without a blink…she even took care of the handling our dogs while the viewings happened!) we had an offer accepted and our house search heated up! By that time Mary really had a feel for what we wanted, and she would send us an agenda for an upcoming Sunday of open houses and before we even began she was able to tell us what she already ruled out because she knew we wouldn’t like the street, the neighbors, the yard…etc.etc.etc. She’s a goddess. Finally, we found a home…or we thought we did: our sale was still in process (and Mary was already going above and beyond to assist the seller in all aspects that their realtor couldn’t help them with regarding mortgage approval!) We made an offer and it was accepted…and after a 3+ hour inspection we decided it wasn’t what we wanted. We called Mary and she simply said, no worries we keep looking. She did not pressure us, she was completely candid and honest and she continued the search. The search continued and we found the perfect home: and days later when we left the country for a preplanned trip we just crossed our fingers that everything would work out. It was touch and go for a bit as the seller’s agent was not completely upfront, however they were out of their league trying to pull a fast one over on Mary: She negotiated like a boss and we not only got our home for less than we expected, but she worked it out so that our sale and purchase would work with our crazy schedule. And what happened the day of in the hectic hassle of packing and moving??? Mary did our walk through and went to our sale, and then showed up at our house to help box things up and make sure we were all set. In short, Mary was always in our corner – and having that sort of support is crucial during the process of buying a home. Without hesitation and with tremendous enthusiasm we recommend Mary based on her professionalism, her efforts, her knowledge and expertise, and her skill. We tell all our friends, Don’t buy a home without Mary!! -Helen & Joseph
