Testimonials

“Eileen just helped us sell our beloved condo in Brookline, a place we had called home for over 35 years. She came to our rescue after a failed attempt to sell last summer. We were represented by another agent who was not based in Brookline and we learned the hard way that a local agent is really important. Eileen has lived in Brookline her whole life and knows the market and the area extremely well. She impressed us the first time we met her when she arrived early with a custom-made booklet that had a compilation of all recent sales in our area. She had clearly done her homework and was extremely prepared. 

“She also impressed us with her warm personality, something that is a true asset in this business. Eileen had a several suggestions for small improvements that would help our home show well. We followed her ‘to do’ list and Eileen brought in her fabulous stager. She spent the entire time with both the stager and the photographer to make sure everything was perfect. The photographs were stunning; our home never looked better. Everything was ready for our first open house. 

“After over two months on the market the previous summer and many unsuccessful open houses we were skeptical that we would have an offer right away. Eileen felt otherwise. We were even more skeptical when the open house was on a day right after a blizzard. She arrived early to make sure our walkway was cleared. She baked brownies in our kitchen so the buyers would smell freshly baked brownies when they entered our home!  Over 20 groups showed up and enjoyed Eileen’s brownies as well as her detailed descriptions of our neighborhood and all the advantages that Brookline has to offer. By the next day we had three great offers and ended up with a bidding war. The accepted offer was $85K above our asking price. Needless to say, we are thrilled. 

“Eileen is confident, professional, kind and responsive, if you are interested in selling your home contact Eileen!”
