"Alyson went above and beyond our expectations and we could not be happier with the home we purchased. She was able to walk us through every little detail and helped us all the way through closing. Adapting her schedule to us at every turn and helping us figure out what we wanted in a house when we didn’t even know what we wanted. We couldn’t recommend Alyson more." -Connor, West Bridgewater buyer

"We had an amazing experience working with Alyson. As first time homebuyers, we didn’t know much about the process and had tons of questions. Alyson made everything so easy and walked us through every step with reassurance and guidance. Alyson truly cares about her clients and was always extremely responsive and professional. She is SO knowledgeable and advocates for her clients to help them find exactly what they are looking for! Alyson went above and beyond for us and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!" -Allison, Quincy buyer

"Alyson was nothing short of extraordinary during our home search! She was referred to us by friends, and since her first very detailed phone call, to the closing table she was there every step of the way. We have had experience with other agents in the past, and she is bar-none the best we have ever worked with. She is attentive, responsive, knows the market inside and out, has built relationships with other brokers to know how best to position our offer, and truly became not just our agent but our friend. We will recommend her over and over again, her guidance throughout this process of buying our first family home is something we are forever grateful for. Thank you, Alyson!" -Laura, Scituate buyer

"Alyson was our agent for nearly a year as we fine tuned what community we wanted to live in and what we wanted in our forever home. We relied heavily on Alyson's local advice and guidance to help us explore the South Shore and find what we were looking for. Alyson was always patient and understanding with us first time home buyers and understood the process that we just needed to see as many houses as possible to truly understand what would make us happy. It felt like every Saturday morning we were meeting up with Alyson and she was always attentive and supportive. When we finally found a house we loved, Alyson's expertise was critical to our offer being submitted with terms that we were comfortable with. Despite not landing that first offer home, we continued our search and finally found something we loved even more. Alyson got us in to see the home immediately and supported us with submitting a strong offer. Finally we had an accepted offer for the home that we had been searching for. Alyson helped us navigate the closing process with ease and helped us understand a few minor hiccups in the process and get through them no problem. We would work with Alyson over and over again. She was an excellent agent and advocate for us and her recommended team for closing were fantastic too. Alyson was a great agent and now our families enjoy a fond friendship. Thank you very much for all your efforts during our lengthy home search... we couldn't be happier with our home and everything you've done to help us!" -Jeff, Plympton buyer

"Alyson helped us sell our condo in Jamaica Plain. We were impressed at how much legwork she did before we even sat down to talk about price. Some similar condos had sold just before ours and she'd already spoken to those agents about what went well and what was a struggle about selling these units. She highlighted all the features we love about our condo, and brought in the most amazing photographer to take photos for the listing. Those photos are such a great memento to have of our place. Alyson also helped walk us through some unusual (to us) offer scenarios to maximize the price we got for our space. And she got us way over asking! Alyson is whip smart, has someone to help with all the things she doesn't do (i.e. attorneys, inspectors, handypeople if necessary, etc.), and makes the process feel a lot less daunting. When we move from our current home, we will definitely contact Alyson first!" -Johannah, Jamaica Plain seller

"Throughout the entire home buying process, Alyson was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were new to the Boston area and leaned heavily on Alyson’s vast expertise and knowledge of the area. It was immediately evident that Alyson takes great pride in her work and is highly respected by her peers. Alyson was great at focusing our home search and helping us figure out which towns would be a good for our family. Every question we had was quickly answered. She was always willing to look at any and every home showing that we were interested in. Alyson was extremely patient throughout our search and never once made us feel rushed. When we decided to put an offer in on a house, Alyson provided great insight and was on top of everything which made the process quite easy. We trusted Alyson implicitly and cannot imagine having gone through our home search with anyone else. Simply put, it is hard to imagine anyone could have done a better job than Alyson did. We are incredibly thankful to have had her as our realtor." -Patrick, Norwell buyer

"I had to the pleasure of working with Alyson to sell my house and I highly recommend her. It was my first time selling my house. She was patient, walked me through the entire process, eager to help, energetic and was very responsive. I interviewed with numerous real agents before deciding to work with Alyson because she has the most in-depth pricing knowledge. Other agents were hesitant to list my house over a certain amount and she was the only agent that was confident to list it above what other agents would feel comfortable with; she knew the market well. I valued her feedback in all stages during my sale. She also helped with staging, which made a huge difference in the photos and in open house. She brought in flowers, art décor, and other small items to give the house some color and pop. She’s very good at negotiating when it came time to the reviewing offers. She is extremely valuable in my real estate transaction and I would work with her again whether its buying or selling. If you are looking for a trusted partner that’s knowledgeable, helpful and well-rounded in everything real estate, she is the one!" -David, Weymouth seller

"Our family recently purchased a home in Kingston, and Alyson truly was an asset as we navigated house hunting during the pandemic and a hot market. Alyson was able to get us in to see the homes in which we showed interest quickly, and assisted us in developing a competitive offer when we found our dream house. From start to finish she offered exceptional support and expertise. She was extremely responsive throughout the process, taking calls to walk through any question we had. What could have been a challenging experience proved very smooth because of Alyson. We would highly recommend her and if we ever end up on the market again she will be the first person we call!" -Michelle, Kingston buyer

"Alyson has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She sold us our first house in Braintree almost 4 years ago. When we were ready for a change, we immediately thought of Alyson based on our prior great experience. Alyson recently represented us as both the seller agent for our Braintree home and the buyer agent for our new home in Foxborough. We were initially nervous to buy / sell during the pandemic, but Alyson provided tremendous guidance during the whole process and each transaction went smooth. We listened to her expert advice and she always came through for us. She gave great recommendations when we were looking for others to help us through the process (including a fantastic Loan Officer!). Alyson’s schedule was also very flexible when we were ready to start looking at new homes. Given our work from home and childcare schedules, the ability to adapt to our schedules was very much appreciated. I was also very impressed at how available she was via phone and text to answer all of our questions. She really listened our story and what was important for us in finding our dream home. She used these details to conduct tons of research and come up with a great list of options. We were open to living in different areas, and Alyson was knowledgeable of the pros and cons of each location. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and are so grateful we had Alyson to walk us through the process! If we are ever interested in moving again someday, we will definitely be reaching out to Alyson!" -Jessie, Braintree seller

"Alyson is wonderfully helpful, professional, enthusiastic and friendly. She helped my partner and I buy and successfully close on our first house in the South Shore. She introduced us to the process via a video chat which was so helpful to start out during the pandemic (early summer). After several house tours, return house tours and more, we found our dream home. She was very responsive and recommended a whole team (inspection, flood / house insurance, mortgage, attorney) all of which, after my own additional research, were clearly the best choice. She has a knack for real estate and I've recommended her relentlessly to friends." -Natalie, Quincy buyer

"I couldn't have asked for a better professional to help me purchase my first home! Alyson was introduced to me about a year in advance of my home search and she started working with me early on to ensure she understood what I was looking for; she was respectful of my timeline and lease-end, and never pushed me to move faster than I was prepared to. Once we got the search underway, she was so incredibly patient with all of my questions as a first-time homebuyer and didn't let me get discouraged when we didn't find the perfect place immediately. She was also kind enough to travel out to my search area in Worcester/Central MA from her home on the South Shore multiple times during the process. I quickly grew to trust her eye, as she was able to point out things that I never would have noticed or thought to ask; Alyson has great vision for a home's potential. Once I found "THE place", Alyson was on the ball right away to be sure we got an offer in and handled all the communication with the seller's agent; I was amazed at how quickly and effectively she worked to coordinate everything. She was always available and immediately responsive as we went through the purchase process, and attended both the home inspection and closing with me to ensure I was comfortable the entire way through. Alyson has a spectacular network of professionals as well; I went with a mortgage/loan officer and real estate attorney that she recommended and they were both awesome to work with. Overall, if you're looking for a real estate agent, you won't find anyone better than Alyson. She has the experience and knowledge that you want in a professional, the patience of a saint, and she's generally just a fun person that made the entire process so much easier. Highly recommend, Alyson is the absolute best!" -Kristen, Uxbridge buyer

"This was my first time buying a home, and Alyson could not have made the process easier. She took the time to get to know my preferences, and made sure that I was both financially and physically comfortable with every place we saw. She made sure I didn't settle, and was an awesome advocate for me when negotiating!" -Gina, Quincy buyer

"I had a great experience with Alyson as my realtor! She was VERY responsive, knowledgeable, and made looking for homes enjoyable! It was my first time buying a home, and she made the process so simple And stress-free for me. I was able to come to her with any questions at any time and knew she had reliable answers and expert advice. I was very thankful that she made herself so available to me, whether it was by email, phone, or scheduling times to look for homes. She was able to help me find the perfect place and thanks to her, my first time buying a home is a time I’ll always remember as a very positive one!" -Michelle, Boston buyer

"When my company relocated us to Boston and suggested a real estate agent, we had no idea we would hit this "JACKPOT"! Alyson was outstanding personally and professionally. She really spent the time to get to know us from afar, sent us lots of examples of the market, and narrowed down our search to a manageable area on the South Shore. When we only had two days to tour, she said,"no problem!" She researched and arranged 15 property viewings. When in came down to the buying process, we completed everything from our home overseas and Alyson ensured that we were not forgetting a thing. When the typical real estate transaction bumps came along, she was totally on top things and figured out solutions right away. She and her network of knowledgeable professionals really gave us confidence throughout this big move and purchase. I highly recommend Alyson for your next home purchase!" -Deb, Hingham buyer

"Alyson helped us navigate buying our first home and she made it so seamless! She was incredibly helpful when it came to all the questions we had about the process and made us both feel at ease. On top of it all, she is an awesome person, super friendly and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Alyson to anyone buying a home." -Alexis, Plympton buyer

"Alyson helped us buy our home in Hingham-- she was great to work with! Very knowledgeable, super responsive and a hard worker. She was sensitive to our needs, patient and helped us find the right place at the right price. We highly recommend her." -Rick, Hingham buyer

"Alyson helped us navigate a move to MA from out of state. Her knowledge of the local market was incredibly helpful and allowed us to find the perfect property. We will definitely recommend her to friends/family in the future!" -Anthony, Norwell buyer

"It was a pleasure working with Alyson to find our first home! We could not be more happy with the listings that she showed us and ultimately the house that we are turning into a home. I would say I'm picky and know what I want so I appreciate Alyson for using my feedback to help narrow down the search. We had to outbid other buyers which made me nervous, but Alyson was able to secure our spot and we closed! Can not say how thankful we are to have had Alyson as our agent - thank you so much!!!!" -Nick, Medway buyer

"From start to finish, Alyson provided the highest level of expertise and service making the process of selling my home a breeze. She took care of everything needed from getting professional photos taken to include in the listing, to holding open houses, negotiating with prospective buyers, and taking care of all of the paperwork and inspections needed to close in a very short timeframe. I will definitely use Alyson when I sell or by my next property. In short, she is the best at what she does." -Steve, Lynn seller

"Alyson was my realtor. She sold my house and helped me buy another house. Alyson is incredibly responsive to requests for showings and arranging and accommodating schedules. She goes beyond the scope of her job by doing extra things that helps build and solidify your working relationship. Alyson will research the history of homes and if needed will visit city and or town halls to learn more about the historical background of home. Alyson is not pushy or aggressive and doesn’t push her own agenda. She listens and allows you the space needed to make appropriate decisions. I would recommend Alyson for your real estate partner. You will not be disappointed." -Jeanne, Weymouth seller

"My husband and I can’t say enough good things about working with Alyson. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, she made the process of selling our home incredibly easy. She is quick to respond and very helpful and accommodating. She helped us sell our home in only 2 days! She knows what she’s doing, and she does it very well. We would highly recommend Alyson to anyone in the real estate market." -Caitlin, Weymouth seller

"Alyson was a life saver when we needed her. We were given less than 60 days to find a new place to live when our landlord sold his place. Alyson picked up our "case" like it was nothing. Got us set up with the right people and information and got us into a home with days to spare. She's wonderful to work with!" -Jake, Foxboro buyer

"Alyson made our home selling and buying process clear, concise and well supported. Alyson is exceptionally friendly, thorough and professional. In more than one step of the process she negotiated for our financial benefit and not her own. She held open house weekends with little lead time, is accommodating and extremely well informed. Response time for any question from financing to inspection was immediate. My husband and I could not recommend her more highly." -Anna, Quincy seller

"Alyson helped us purchase our first home and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. We worked with three other agents before working with her and she was extremely helpful, thorough and responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had (and still helps us with questions we have)! We could not have asked for a better agent to help us out!" -Jacqui, Rockland buyer

"Alyson helped guide me through the sale and simultaneous purchase of my homes. Her friendly personality coupled with her knowledge and experience made this transition smooth and as painless as possible. She was always available to answer any questions or to educate me on the real estate market. I am so grateful to have been referred to her." -Nancy, Rockland seller

"I just recently purchased my first home with Alyson guiding me the entire way. I had a very short time frame to close and the process could not have been any easier or have gone any more smoothly. Lots of paperwork and lots of deadlines and Alyson was always very responsive and if ever a potential issue around the corner Alyson was able to navigate without issue. I can only wish that all my home buying experiences are as painless as this one. Very much looking forward to working with Alyson again in the future."-Matthew, Hingham buyer

"Alyson Ferrando is a remarkably knowledgable and attentive real estate agent. She would always answer our emails, questions and concerns promptly. She arranged our showing schedule to fit into our crazy lives, booking 5 showings back to back to help elevate our time spent running around. At the showings, she had all the housing reports for us and had the sellers agent available for questions. If, and when, Alyson did not know the answer to a question, she would help contact the appropriate person to get the answer or get us a contact to reach out to the person we needed to talk to. Our final closing was a stressful lengthy process, but Alyson was there to support us, reassure us and make sure she was in the loop with dates, times and information for us. She helped find us a lawyer to review our condo docs without an extra expense to us. After all was said and done, Alyson even helped us rescue a dog to help make our new house, a home. I would recommend Alyson with flying colors. She is passionate about what she does and will help you find your forever home." -Marielle, Weymouth buyer

"I felt so very fortunate to have met Alyson and asked her to assist me in buying a condo. She was right there with me. She was always available for my questions and concerns and AFTER my sale, went above and beyond doing things that I never even expected. (for instance, going out and buying the mirrors for my bathroom that were supposed to be there and were not) Also, she has such integrity. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house." -Carole, Rockland buyer

"Alyson was wonderful to work with - very patient when helping us find the right home for me and my husband, our 2-year old, and my mother-in-law. We had a large variety of requirements, and Alyson was always ready and able to show us the next house. She got to know our tastes quickly and knew right away which houses and areas we would like -- she didn't waste our time. I would highly recommend Alyson. She was very professional, very accommodating, and very patient with us and the sellers when the process got complicated. And she knows everything about the south shore!" -Sarah, Norwell buyer

"From start to finish Alyson worked with my husband and I to ensure that we got the first house of our dreams. She found the house the we ended up buying at 11 on a Sunday and was quick enough to make sure we were the first ones in to see it. She was pleasant, easy to work with, professional, and understanding. Being first time home buyers we were trying to navigate the waters the best we could and she helped make it such a seamless process we felt little to no stress in what could have been a very stressful time. We would highly recommend working with Alyson as well as the rest of her team for any of your home buying needs!" -Jennah, Abington buyer

"Alyson recently helped me buy my first home, the entire process was incredibly seamless as she set me up with all the people I would need throughout my homebuying process. Being a first time buyer, I had lots of questions and Alyson was always available in a timely manner to answer any questions I had, exhibiting her expertise in this field. She was extremely flexible with her availability which was helpful for me considering I work a night shift schedule - Alyson was very accommodating of this! I would recommend Alyson to any of my friends or family buying or selling homes in the area because it was a truly hassle free, enjoyable experience! She also parted ways leaving me with a thoughtful gift to enjoy in my new home! It was a pleasure to work with someone who loves their job!" -Stephanie, Weymouth buyer

"Alyson was everything we could have hoped for in a realtor. She guided us through every step of the way and made the whole buying process smooth and seamless. Anytime I had a question, Alyson was quick to answer or reach out and find the information we needed. I will 100% recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home and if we are in need of a realtor again in the future, she will be our first call" -Christine, Weymouth buyer

"Alyson Ferrando is an expert in real estate acquisition and disposition. She did an amazing job assisting my brother and myself, in selling our late mother's home. Alyson was professional, but also compassionate, during the entire home sale process. She was quick to respond to every communication, usually the same day. I could not have chosen a more competent and diligent real estate agent. My mother asked me to select Alyson. I trusted her choice, which undoubtedly was the right decision. Alyson's efforts were laborious. She meticulously paid attention to every detail. She honestly and thoughtfully answered every question. I highly recommend her real estate representation, without any reservation." -Mike, Weymouth seller

"Alyson helped us to buy our first home. As first time home buyers we were anxious about the process but Alyson was there every step of the way and could not have made things any easier for us. As full time working parents to an infant, our schedules were constantly changing, but Alyson was always accommodating and prompt when showing us properties. She was always on time, knowledgeable, informed and honest. We communicated regularly through text and email and I was happily surprised by how quickly she would respond at all hours of the day/night. Throughout the entire process - showings, negotiation, inspection, closing - Alyson struck a perfect balance between professional and personal. She was thorough in answering all our questions and worked closely with our lender and lawyer to ensure a smooth and speedy closing. We could not imagine going through this process with anyone else and could not recommend Alyson more highly." -Melanie, Kingston buyer
