Amanda Botwood
Amanda was the best real estate agent we have ever worked with! We were negotiating a complex move to America from overseas. Amanda went above and beyond time and time again to help us find our dream home. Amanda offers so much more than what we expected from a real estate agent. She was a guide a coach and a friend throughout the process. Amanda is detail orientated, hard working, always responsive and has an amazing knowledge of the Princeton area. We feel so lucky we found Amanda and honestly we couldn't have done it with out her!
Amanda Botwood
Amanda is easily the most knowledgeable and capable real estate professional we have ever worked with. She has been instrumental in our successful relocation to Princeton in a challenging market with limited inventory. As out-of-state buyers, we needed someone who knew the local market and the nuances of NJ real estate transactions. She delivered on both counts. Amanda was extraordinarily proactive and attentive to all the details and key dates, constantly driving everyone on both sides of the transaction toward closing. She’s a level head, a natural communicator, and skilled negotiator. We loved working with Amanda and could not recommend her more highly!
Amanda Botwood
This is the 3rd house that my husband and I have sold in Princeton and this experience was infinitely better than the others. Amanda is the hardest working agent I've met. It started with setting the listing price. Amanda provided very relevant data and information to make sure that we entered the market at the right price point. She rolled up her sleeves to help us stage our home to look its best, prepared a flattering photo gallery, made an amazing video to share to social media and followed up with prospective buyers to answer questions and keep their interest. After the contract was signed, she helped to address the inspection items and make sure that we stayed calm and on track for an uneventful close.
Mary Murphy
Mary helped me with the sale of my mother's house. Before the house went up for sale Mary took the time to discuss with me all the potential options for a sale, being mindful of the house's strengths and challenges. During our first meeting, Mary asked me about my priorities and concerns. She took the time to learn what was most important to me. Later, when I felt unsure of how to make a decision, Mary brought me back to the statements I had made regarding what mattered most to me. That gentle nudge helped me to make the decisions that I needed to make. I ended up getting an offer from a buyer that was more than Mary and I had expected. Mary was quick to respond to questions from me and always eager to listen to my thoughts about the house. She also has a remarkable network. She has at hand all the real estate professionals needed for a smooth transaction. She handled every issue that came up during the sale with grace and was a pleasure to work with. I feel fortunate to have had her as my realtor for the house sale.
Mary Murphy
Being first-time homebuyers in a difficult market like the Bay Area, we both knew we’d feel in over our heads, and we can honestly say we definitely would not have found our home and gotten our offer accepted without Mary and Robert! We were introduced to them and we instantly felt a connection. We sat down and openly discussed what our intentions and expectations were moving forward. Once we decided to work with them, we started a group chat where we knew any question we needed answered was a quick text message away. They were extremely responsive and listened to our feedback as we started visiting open houses over a few weekends. Once we found a home we really liked, they guided us through the mounds of paperwork that needed to be done, and we had our offer accepted the next day! The weeks leading up to closing became extremely stressful due to the pandemic and the many delays we encountered with our bank, however, the team was always there to explain what was happening and give us a heads-up about what was going to happen next. Though we didn’t get to see them in person since we had our offer accepted, we chatted with one of them on the phone nearly every day leading up to the close of escrow, this kept us upbeat and excited for years ahead with our beautiful new home!
Mary Murphy
We recently worked with Mary and Robert to purchase our new home. From the very beginning, their team was extremely proactive, providing us with all materials promptly and being immediately available for any questions or concerns we had. There was never a moment where we were confused or worried that they wouldn't be able to help us, and even if they couldn't answer our questions right away, they took every effort to make sure they found a solution as quickly as possible. Even after the sale was complete, they continued to support us if we needed it, for example helping us set up services. We felt very comfortable and confident through the entire process that we were in good hands, and we would absolutely recommend this team to anyone else looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again for all your help!
Mary Murphy
Professional. Patient. Detail-oriented. And they get things done. We have bought and sold 4 homes so far and worked with many real estate agents. Mary is a first-class, first-rate Realtor®, by far the best we have ever worked with.
Mary Murphy
Mary did an amazing job getting the house ready for sale. Also, the photographs and marketing materials were top-notch. I believe these materials were key to generating interest in our property.
Mary Murphy
From the moment I interviewed them I was very impressed by their professionalism and “Team Approach.” Their overall knowledge, experience, and communication are second to none.
Mary Murphy
Thank you so much for all of your help in making things smooth and helping us jump onto the opportunity when it was available and for being supportive of us throughout.
Mary Murphy
Their pricing advice on our house was spot on, and they provided good data on comparable properties in the area. They are an excellent team, and very professional.
Mary Murphy
They are extremely well networked and can quickly recommend someone for pretty much anything- whether it is a home mortgage broker, home inspector, or contractor.
Mary Murphy
A pleasure to work with. They had incredible local knowledge and their network really helped us close on our house in this very competitive market.
Mary Murphy
Relocating from Boston, we had a week to buy a house in a ridiculously crazy market and we could not have done it without them.
Mary Murphy
A Million Stars Are Not Enough! Never having prior experience selling a house, I had no idea what it would entail. As trustee of my parents' trust, I was tasked with selling their beautiful home at their deaths- an emotionally difficult duty to be sure. Before COVID and interest rate hikes, it may have been an entirely different experience, but between 2023 and 2024, it turned out to be a tremendous challenge. My family and I could never have navigated all of the twists and turns of paperwork, inspections, a pre-sale remodel, beautiful staging, and brilliant marketing without Mary Murphy. From the time we signed with Mary as our agent to the closing of the sale, her dedication to us and to finding the right buyer was unwavering. Her level of commitment, expertise, professionalism, diligence, determination, and constant communication were extraordinary; her genuine caring, warmth, and sense of humor informed every aspect of our working relationship. My entire family is indebted to Mary and her team for effecting an excellent sale and making us and the new owners very, very happy. Verified by RateMyAgent.
Andrea West
Andrea has been amazing to work with from beginning to the end. We were new to the Westchester area and were nervous about making such a big purchase. She listened to our needs/budget and alerted us right away if any new homes popped up in the market. She is professional, responsive and very personable. We never felt rushed or pushed into making a purchase. After our accepted offer, she provided recommendations on home inspectors, attorneys and plumbers. She is your one stop shop! Working with Andrea, you will see she is very dedicated to her clients and is honest and upfront about everything. We highly recommend her!!
Vanessa Sinclair
My family and I recently relocated to Austin for work and were lucky enough to get a recommendation to use Vanessa in my search for the perfect place to live for my family. You should take this as your lucky recommendation because she is fantastic. She was not only super knowledgeable about the Austin area, but she really understands your wants and needs and takes the time to make sure you are delighted. Once we found the right place, she hustled and did everything to make sure it was ours. She still reaches out even after the job is done. You can feel the love she has for her work and for Austin. This would be a 6-star review if possible!
Vanessa Sinclair
We decided to downsize and feel so blessed to have connected with Vanessa to help us through the process. It’s a very emotional time and Vanessa’s calm and professional demeanor, kept us from falling apart! She guided us step by step at our own pace and helped us form a logical plan. When we listed the house, she was able to get us under contract very quickly and at an even better price than we had dared hope to receive. We moved back to Colorado to be close to family so were not able to use her to buy our retirement home, but she found us a wonderful local realtor and they worked together to make our move seamless. Vanessa has kept in touch with us and I look upon her as family now. If you’re thinking of downsizing, Vanessa is your gal to help you!
Vanessa Sinclair
Vanessa is great! She knows Austin and the surrounding area well. We were looking for something a bit unusual (building a barndo and RV pads on undeveloped land), and she was great about working with her colleagues who had expertise outside of more typical home buying. Vanessa was also great about giving us local referrals, and everything from where to get a great cup of coffee to where to find great hikes in our new hometown.
Jennie Pastor
Jennie is not only a fantastic Relator, but a true expert when it comes to relocation. Jennie found the perfect house in our target location and we used all of her recommendations when it came to making some minor changes before moving in. Most importantly, Jennie helped me navigate a huge move by providing valuable community insights which helped me and my family feel more at ease about our move. I was able to enroll my kids in summer camp, make school connections, and she even connected me with an organization in the area that has helped me make meaningful connections. Jennie’s knowledge comes from her own personal experience. She will not only help you find a home, but she goes above and beyond for her clients by helping them smoothly navigate all that comes with moving and relocation
Carolyn Swan
Carolyn is the best around We relocated from out of state last year She was incredibly patient with us showing us many properties through FaceTime and giving us all the detailed analysis we needed to learn a new market virtually Once we secured a rental we knew we d want to work with Carolyn again on our first local purchase Sure enough she came through for us again Over the course of a months long search she went above and beyond to ensure we got early access to listings made great recommendations not just send me what you find on HAR lazy broker stuff honest and transparent feedback fair negotiations and ultimately a fantastic property in a highly competitive market I have experience working with hundreds thousands of real estate professionals and hold a broker license in another state Carolyn seriously sets herself apart She is absolutely best in class Anyone would be extremely well served by working with Carolyn for their real estate needs We give her our highest possible endorsement
Karen Tyrell
Karen is one of a kind. Our family has trusted her with multiple real estate transactions, and for good reason. She continually goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. What stands out most is she takes the time to get to know you and your family and then assists when and where you need help the most. When we didn't know where to find the propane tank removal history, she made the calls. When miscommunication nearly killed the deal, she was there to calm everyone's nerves and instead seal the deal. Best of all, she is honest and fair. As we are now moving away from her region and forced to use other realtors, we are reminded just how lucky we were to work with Karen. She will be missed!
Callum
Callum is truly a fantastic realtor to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone. I wish we could have used him for our out-of-state home purchase! We really enjoyed working with Callum for a second time, and are grateful for his professionalism and care. He truly wants the best for his clients. He had to deal with some difficulties with our buyer’s realtor, and we are so thankful he was able to address those issues while keeping our stress level low. Thank you, Callum, for everything you’ve done for us and our family!
Nicholas Brown
Nicholas is the consummate professional, understands the real estate landscape. Nicholas and his team bring the expertise needed to sell your home quickly while increasing the neighborhood price values. Not only did I sell my home with Nicholas I also purchased a new construction home. This process was long and had a lot of ups and downs; however Nicholas was there for every step doing all he could to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my new home.
David Newcombe
David is the best broker i have ever worked with. He is very bright, agile and responsive. That is a very rare quality in the profession. He has a thorough understanding not only for the urban residential market but a much deeper grasp than any of his peers of the commercial and entertainment aspects of the City. I would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction you may be considering.
David Newcombe
I have completely enjoyed working with David and his team. His professionalism, timeliness, and overall level of service are unequaled. No need to use anyone else!
David Newcombe
David did a terrific job of marketing our central Phoenix home and facilitating a quick sale. He knows the market well and made solid suggestions to make our home attractive to buyers.
David Newcombe
Being new to Arizona David spent the time and effort to ensure we found the right property for our family. He was an active listener, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Being in Boston and unable to be in AZ during the Covid period he provided many video walkthroughs and drive-arounds to help us familiarize ourselves with the houses and the area. During negotiations, I trusted David's views and guidance to help me complete the transaction. The last thing on David's mind was the commission. When our time comes to sell David will be the Real Estate Partner we use.
David Newcombe
I feel very fortunate to have worked with David to sell my home. He was patient, responsive and an expert negotiator. He set aggressive but realistic expectations and was always available to answer my questions in detail. He did not shy away from difficult conversations when necessary and advocated on my behalf every step of the way.
David Newcombe
David has the wisdom, and vision in understanding client needs. He is also deeply knowledgeable of real estate trends. I highly recommend David Newcombe as your broker.
David Newcombe
David is the Best! Honestly, I cannot recommend him enough. He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable about the market, and a pleasure to deal and work with. He made the process of purchasing our home as smooth and easy as possible. We would use him again in the future for sure!
