Alison is an outstanding agent and we are so thankful that our friends referred her to us as we prepared to relocate from SF. At our first zoom meeting, we could tell she was a calm, pragmatic, and experienced agent who could help us learn the area and navigate a winter/holiday market (with the added joys of a recent election and rising interest rates). We spent 2.5 consecutive days in early December exploring ~7 towns around the Boston suburbs and found her insights and perspectives to be genuine and balanced. Rather than tell us what we want to hear, she shared her own point of view in a way that really enabled us to make a decision quickly. When it came time to place an offer (after only one weekend of viewings), she prepped us perfectly for strategy/pricing and we got the place we wanted for below what we hoped. Once under contract, she helped manage each step in a proactive and thoughtful way, especially important as we are 3000 miles away and welcomed our first baby only 9 days ago! We trusted her to manage inspections, walk throughs, and more. We are so excited for our new home and there is no way this could have happened without Alison. She is a gem and we will recommend her at any chance we get.
