"Adam has helped me buy and sell 3 times. -I purchased my first home for under ask and sold it for over thanks in large part to Adam's guidance. - My fiance and I purchased a house for asking price. The purchase of this house involved some tense negotiations and here is where Adam was such an asset. Through it all Adam was a calming presence, referring us to the right people and allowing us to make our own, informed, decisions. We almost walked away at the 11th hour and even then Adam was never pushy or sales driven. Real estate can be contentious and full of surprises. Adam was rock solid, informed, patient and he got me great value."
"“Consummate professional” is the perfect way to describe Adam. We fell in love with a new construction townhome in Boston but new isn’t all it’s cracked up to be (especially in 2020 with Covid shutting down the country). We wanted to snag the last home in this project but I wasn’t able to see it during the open house. Through his relationships, Adam connected with the selling agent and we learned there was another offer and were able to put an offer in contingent on me seeing it. We needed to put in a best and final and Adam helped us find a number that was comfortable for us but also competitive and our offer was accepted! However, the units were sold before completion and with Covid affecting the builder’s staff and subcontractors and with 3 other townhomes under contract before us we were in for lots of surprises! We compiled our punchlist and Adam did all the work with the attorneys and seller’s agent to ensure we held back money for projects that couldn’t be completed before the closing. Adam arranged to have the builder meet us at the unit to provide comfort that the punchlist items would be completed properly. To our surprise, the day of closing, most of the items were still outstanding. Adam did not put any pressure on us to close and worked with our attorney to move the closing and express our dissatisfaction to the selling agent. This was super emotional and stressful and Adam was supportive and took the initiative to monitor the progress personally!! This was above and beyond and we are very happy with our new place, new neighbors and neighborhood! Thank you, Adam!!!"
"Over a series of months, Adam did a great job helping to sell my parents' condo. The place was in poor condition, but he did a very good job identifying what to improve or fix and what to leave to the buyer to update. He did a terrific job overseeing a significant amount of work to get the place ready to be sold, and he knew the right people to call to get the work done promptly and well. And then when it came time to list, he did a great job employing comps to set the right price to get it sold quickly, with minimal stress, and for a good price. He was reliable, efficient, and very responsive and proactive. Thanks Adam!"
"We were referred to Adam by two of our good friends and from Day One of our first home purchase, we appreciated Adam's thorough and comprehensive approach. Adam did a great job of walking us through all of the steps that would occur in home-buying process, and potential timelines and costs for each. As we viewed properties, Adam was communicative and made himself consistently available to visit potential properties and provided valuable insights at each property - including potential concerns, ways in which the property could accrue value, and comparable properties. We never felt pressured, and always trusted that Adam was being straightforward with us. After we decided to offer on a property, Adam was very helpful in helping us decide offer amounts and reasonable counter-offers. After our offer was accepted, Adam continued to guide us through the process and referred us to a number of helpful and well-qualified professionals, including our Home Inspector, Mortgage Lender, and Attorney. Even when Adam was out of town, he connected us to his colleagues who continued to help us in his place without skipping a beat. Buying a home is a major life decision. Adam gives you confidence throughout the process, and ensures that you have experts on your side to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. In addition to that, Adam was fun, easy-going, and made us feel like he genuinely cared about our happiness."
"My husband and I interviewed 4 realtors from the Newton area and chose Adam to help us sell our house. Adam stayed in touch with us during this interview process without making us feel pressured. The suggestions Adam made to prepare the house for sale were spot on. When needed he was able to provide us with the names of contractors to get these tasks completed. We always felt that we were in capable hands with him. The house went on the market at the end of August and we closed at the end of October. I would highly recommend Adam as your realtor whether you need to sell your home or purchase a new home."
"My wife and I were referred to Adam through a mutual friend. When we began the process we had literally no idea where we wanted to live. Adam was incredibly patient as we drove all around the south shore on a Saturday, followed by an entirely different area out West the next day. I thoroughly respect the commitment that goes into what he does. He was very supportive through the process and did not try to rush us. Adam frequently kept in contact with us while we worked through the offer process, even when he was on vacation. We would work with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
"Using local comps, market conditions, location, etc, Adam helped us reach an accurate price point for the market. He also made suggestions to help stage the house so that it would show well. He hired photographers and used them to very professionally market the house. As a result, the house was sold in one day , well above our asking price. Adam was professional, and attentive and made the process of selling our home easy. I would highly recommend Adam for anyone looking to buy or sell home."
"My wife and I had worked with Adam previously to purchase a condo, and we were glad we were able to work with him again to sell that condo and purchase a single-family home. It was great having Adam on our side throughout the purchase and sale process. Not only is he super responsive, and always willing to jump on a call to explain anything we didn't understand, he also helped us frame the decisions we had to make throughout the process in ways that helped us move forward. When we ran into an unexpected snag right before closing on our purchase, Adam sprung into action, kept us calm, and helped us get the deal done to our satisfaction despite the last minute problem. I would not hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home in the Greater Boston area."
"Adam is a fantastic realtor! We have now worked with him for 3 transactions (1 sale and 2 purchases) and have been happy each time. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He is able to help us prioritize and sort through what we want versus what we need. And he has connected us with other responsible and excellent professionals (lawyers, etc) to help in our process as well. We would highly recommend Adam as either a buyers or sellers agent! " - John and Sophie
"Adam was a dream to work with. In the beginning he helped us to identify our interests and focus our search on the few neighborhoods that checked all of our boxes (we didn't make it easy on him). He was quick to respond to any questions that we had and as he accompanied us on several walk-throughs, he raised questions that we would have never thought to ask. When we finally found our dream house, he helped us with our offer and then ran point throughout the entire closing process, checking-in regularly with our attorney and our lender to make sure there were never any surprises. He is a kind and genuine person and a fantastic realtor. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a house." - Carson and Ashley
"This is the second time we have worked with Adam as our Realtor and just like the first time (helping us purchase our first home), we had a great experience with him. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process and keeping everything on track for the closing. It was just a great process. We love our new home and owe Adam a big thank you for helping us purchase it. You can't go wrong when choosing to work with Adam as your Realtor!" - Damien and Cigdem
