I have had the opportunity to work with Gael as my listing broker both in good times (about 10 years ago) and bad (now). Although the market was at its worst when I chose to sell my home this past year, Gael was realistic about the market and took the time to explain to me why she priced my house accordingly. She persevered with me from start to finish until we found a buyer. When I was down, she was up. When I was discouraged, she was encouraging. When I gave up, she persevered. Her energy and optimism never flagged until we got the job done! I would whole-heartedly recommend Gael for anyone choosing to take the plunge in this market — selling your home is indeed possible with Gael doing the “heavy lifting”.

I cannot recommend Ellie Dipaolo highly enough! She is the best possible kind of real estate agent! She is very attentive to her clients’ goals. She doesn’t waste anyone’s time showing property that isn’t of interest to the clients. She explores all potential properties and knows their pros and cons and shares this information with the client. She helps the client through the decision-making phase, helping the client to proceed to making an offer, home inspection, and closing. If there is something she doesn’t know about a property that is of concern to the client, she gets that information. She is reliable, punctual and cheerful. She is patient. She is trustworthy. She is not just trying to sell a piece of property, she truly wants her clients to be happy with their choices. She worked with me for several years before I found just the right place. I am delighted with my new beach cottage!

My fiance and I just bought a great house with the help of a true real estate veteran, Gael Meyer. With her knowledge of the market and relationships in the business, she was able to sell my fiance’s property in just days. This is the same property she helped him buy over ten years ago. When we were ready to look at houses, she made house hunting seem fun and easy with patience and humor. In the thick of the negotiating process, Gael was all business and ran the show, getting us the house we fell in love with. Who knows, if you work with Gael, you may find the perfect house and become a raw vegan! : )

Thanks Gael, we are so happy in our new home!

Sincerely,

Loved your passion and attention to detail. You kept the ball rolling and made it happen. And, we appreciate the Arlene (Keating) referral. She was very good.

We are so pleased that we listed our home with Diane. She listens, she communicates, she is creative and she really cares about her clients. Diane did done such an outstanding job selling our home on Hawthorne Road in Newburyport & helping us to buy our new home in New Hampshire that we had her list our parents house on Turkey Hill Road which was not successfully sold by 2 different Realtors. We knew she would get the job done! Their house sold at the very first open house which was mobbed with Buyers! She goes above and beyond what other Realtors do. We recommend her highly to anyone buying or selling!

Ellie DiPaolo was the listing agent for the sale of my mother’s home last year. Ellie was very professional in her representation of my mother’s home from start to finish. My mother is elderly, so I handled the disposition of her home for her. Ellie first viewed the property, and then met with me at my home to review a very comprehensive marketing and pricing analysis for the property. She then met with me again after I had discussed her analysis with my mother and family to answer any questions we had as well as to review the pros and cons of various possible price points and marketing strategies. Our family’s desire was to achieve maximum value for my mother’s home while completing the sales process in a reasonable period of time. Ellie is an experienced realtor who knew and understood the complexities we were facing and helped us develop a solid plan to market the property.

The property had many strong points, but also had some elements that made it a difficult sell. Ellie did not shy away from this, but went head on into marketing the property honestly, effectively and tirelessly. She used internet advertising as well as print mediums in marketing the home. Having been a realtor for many years, Ellie was able to use her large network of contacts to spread the word as well. Ellie attended every showing, kept logs of inquiries on the property, and followed up on every lead. She was diligent about providing all feedback to us, both positive and negative, and keeping us informed both about our property as well as other comparable properties being marketed in the area. She promptly responded to my e-mails or phone calls. She met with me on a regular basis to discuss showings, offers, and pricing decisions, and was always available to address questions or provide updates.

We were fortunate to have such an experienced, dedicated and hard-working professional to sell our property. I would highly recommend Ellie DiPaolo.

Gael,
Thank you so much for your efforts in our home search process. My wife and I were so impressed with your attentiveness, intuition and knowledge. From the moment we stepped into that first showing, and you battered the selling agent with every important question (which we would not have had any idea to ask), we knew that we found a great agent. We always felt that your main goal was to find the house that was best for us and appreciated your tact in sharing your opinion, without trying to sway ours. We are so happy with our decision, and for that you deserve a great deal of the credit. Thank you so much and we highly recommend your services.

“I have passed out about a dozen of your cards in the past week or so. My tag line is…Robert sold my house in 3 days for more than full price in this market!!!!!!

They can’t ask for your card fast enough!!! It’s actually kind of fun!!!”

We had two relatively inexpensive condo’s to sell (no big commissions here). Krissy acted as if they were million dollar properties and treated us like we were the Trumps! Both units were empty and did not meet requirements for the secondary mortgage market. If this market for traditional home sales is challenging, the prospects of selling two empty investment properties is even more so! I am not sure many realtors would have wanted this listing. She found solutions to every challenge from marketing to financing (she thinks outside of the box!!!) She communicated at every step and she answered every call (once while coaching a game!), I have known Krissy for a long time and know her to be extremely bright, honest and filled with integrity. She is always smiling! Most importantly she truly cares. When I learned that she became a realtor, I knew she would be successful. We have dealt with at least a dozen realtors or more through the years buying, selling & leasing, homes, condo’s, investment properties & commercial space. Many were good, some were awful, a few were great…Krissy is simply the BEST! Knowing her for so long I knew she would be perfect and I expected much from her. She exceeded our expectations! Without a doubt we will continue to use and recommend Krissy (Hilton) Ventura. Thank You Krissy!!

“Gretchen Maguire has the top qualities of an excellent real estate broker-experience, good reputation, and savvy marketing and communication skills. Her clients get more than those qualities, they have someone who will tell them the truth, communicate with them on a timely basis, and as important as taking care of the seller’s interest, she knows how to relate to and satisfy the potential buyer’s interest. And as a bonus, she has a sense of humor. Selling your home is an emotional minefield, you need someone on your team like Gretchen who knows when you need encouragement and when to be patient. I would recommend and have recommended Gretchen without reservation.”

Laura and I were looking for waterfront property on the north shore of Boston. We spent a day visiting open houses on Plum Island and Gael was the only real estate agent that we met that day that impressed us. Gael subsequently worked with us to help us find the property of our dreams. Gael was always professional, punctual and extremely quick to respond to every question that we had along the way. When the unexpected arose, she knew who to call to get immediate answers. She has excellent organizational skills and kept track of everything throughout the process to ensure that all went smoothly. The other people that she recommended working with (lawyer, home inspector, general contractor) were exceptionally skilled, responsive and nice people to work with. Gael also worked with impressive motivation and determination to ensure that we got the most for our investment. In addition to her professional skills, we found Gael to be very personable, honest, fun-loving and with considerable good humor. She helped us to stay calm during the stressful house-hunting, decision-making and closing experience. We have never worked with a real estate agent that we would be more happy to recommend to others, without any reservations. Give her a call today.

Our experience with Shevaun was wonderful! She was highly organized and very informative about the area we were buying in. We had recently relocated from Minnesota and we were not familiar with the North Shore area. Shevaun educated us on the various towns and ultimately helped us not only find the perfect house for our family, but also the perfect town. She was able to work with our schedule and time frame and never made us feel rushed. Shevaun also provided us with tremendous support throughout the home buying process- her contacts are limitless and everyone she referred us to was very professional. We highly recommend Shevaun Bayley and look forward to doing business with her again in the future.

Who would have thought buying our dream home could be such a positive and wonderful adventure! After deciding that Newburyport was the right place for us– How do we find our perfect home?. We were fortunate to meet Krissy who worked diligently with us for several months. She is everything a realtor should be and more. Her enthusiasm, professionalism and determination to help us find exactly what we wanted payed off. Her pleasant demeanor and personality always made us feel comfortable asking questions in person, e-mail or by phone. We always felt comfortable and confident in her abilities and feel as though we gained a friend. We highly commend Krissy on a job well done; we will always recommend her services to anyone we know looking for their perfect place! Thank you for helping us find the perfect home and making it so much fun. It was sincerely a pleasure working with you.

Gail,

Thanks for all your help buying 8 Dublin! We are very happy and just wanted to thank you for guiding us “first timers” through the process.

Thanks.

Shevaun is wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked. She is professional and really knows this industry. She took the time to get to know me and what I wanted in my next home. She didn’t push or hurry me in anyway. Shevaun found my home for me and I initially didn’t even want to see the property, but she knew it was the one for me and she was absolutely right!

Shevaun was such a great resource, supported me throughout the process of buying my home. She kept me on track with my time lines, she helped set up the moving van through REMAX on the River, and pulled her resources to help me find contractors.

Shevaun didn’t disappear after the paperwork was finished; she continues to check in with me to see how I am enjoying my new home. Shevaun is not just a realtor; she is the full package and the person you want by your side when you are looking for your new home.

I am so pleased that Gael and I continue to talk on a regular basis. I appreciate you keeping me informed on market conditions and potential opportunities. It has been almost three years since we met, and you still remain my first call when I need information. In the early days, it was questions relating to finding a good dry cleaner or contractor. Now you continue to help me with local politics and building code issues, just to name a few!

You are so much more to your clients than a transaction-oriented agent. I don’t refer business to others often, but in your case, I know that my friends will be delighted working with you.

I look forward to seeing you soon. And thanks again for all that you do for me.

Sincerely,

Sharon, I just wanted to send an email to let you know what a great job Jay Leclerc did in selling our condo and then finding a house in Exeter. He was thorough, easy going and unflappable through the whole experience. A true professional. He told us what we needed to do to sell our place. He did it all. He is an asset to your team. Thank you.

Dear Gail,

Thank you most heartily for all your help and knowledge in bringing me to this chapter in my life.

I appreciate everything you did to make such a quick sale. It’s still a bit hard to believe that all this started just a few short weeks ago!

I will certainly recommend Gail Tufts (“She is tough”) and will particularly mention how you kept me informed at all times.

Looking forward to seeing you both in and out of your office. Sincerely,

Hi Pat,

We wanted to say thank you for all you did over the last eight months to sell our home. You did everything we asked for and more. This is not an easy market to sell a home in, but you achieved it. Thank you for all the ads, the open houses, the house checks, and the communication with not only us, but SIRVA. You far exceed other realtors. You are a true professional and yet you have this endearing quality that helps you also be a friend. Such a gift! When we hear of anyone selling in your area, you can be assured that your name will be put out there. You deserve the business. Let’s keep in touch from time to time. We will miss you dearly! Love,

Dear Gail,

What would we have done without you?! Thanks for your skill & friendship. Looking forward to get-togethers in our new town. Love,
