"Beth and Gary were incredible in helping us find our new home. They were very responsive, and were able to step in immediately to help us act fast to get our dream home in a very competitive market. They were knowledgeable, as well as accommodating our schedules in trying to navigate the home buying process with small children. We were fortunate to have their insight and guidance at each step along the way to help us make the most informed decisions. Between work, kids and everyday life, the process of buying a home can be overwhelming and confusing, but Beth and Gary clearly communicated and explained each step and helped us keep it all in balance along the way." - Libbie and Sean, June 2023

"This is the second property Beth Shuman has helped us come to call "Home." She connected us with our rental condo when we moved to Acton from California at the beginning of 2021, and just recently she helped us buy our very first single-family house! While the home buying process can seem long and daunting, Beth made things clear and straightforward for us as first-time homebuyers. She has a wealth of knowledge about the housing markets and communities where she works, which has proven to be of tremendous help to us in setting down roots here in New England. Beth was in touch with us before, during, and after the purchase of our house, and it has been a pleasure working with her!" - Katherine April 2023

"Having Beth Shuman as my real estate agent to help buy a house was a wonderful experience. Her help was invaluably practical, expedient, and truly caring. She offered her experience in a proactive way and she consistently came up with buyer alternatives that proved helpful. I felt safe and trusting with her assistance at all times of my house buying experience. I am indebted to Beth for her able assistance. She gave 100 percent and I could not have purchased the house of my dreams in this competitive housing market without her knowledgeable guiding hand." - Stan A

"Beth and I began working together shortly before the beginning of the pandemic. Even during covid, as each potential property came up for sale, Beth worked hard to help me in my search. I had a very specific idea of the condo I wanted, and, unfortunately, for a long time nothing came on the market that met my criteria. However, Beth didn’t give up. Always available with new information, she persisted over the next few years by scouting prospective locations and arranging viewings. Beth’s energy and enthusiasm never flagged. It was clear that she genuinely wanted me to find what I was looking for. I am delighted to say that I recently closed on a condo I love. For Beth, real estate isn’t just about buying and selling properties; it’s about finding clients a place they can call home." -A.C. in Brookline February 2023

If we were to look for another property, Beth would be our agent to go to. Thankful for her experience, dedication to her clients, and always being available for anyone."

"Selling and leaving a home that you lived, took great pride in and worked hard to attain well over 20 years can be difficult. This was the perfect neighborhood, made many lifelong friends. I spent most of my adult life enjoying its beauty, married, children grew up and then came the empty nest…. It was very hard to let go. My husband Rich and I worked for over 25 years in Law Enforcement ~ our home in West Barnstable, Massachusetts was our sanctuary. After we both retired and purchased our home in Florida and decided that would be our primary residence. As a couple, we were fortunate enough to discover Beth and Gary Shuman, a husband and wife who are a truly a magnificent team. The first moment I met them, I knew we’d made the right choice to represent us. Instantly, Beth and Gary were warm, intelligent, caring, professional, and made me feel comfortable during this sensitive time. The home was on the market for two hours and we had an offer. I attribute this to the hard work, dedication and preparation of Beth and Gary. Not only did Beth take care of business with the successful sale of the home, but she also helped me work on getting the home packed up and ready for the new owners. That would be enough for anyone to be satisfied with their Real Estate Agent, but that was not all. My Son, his wife and our beautiful baby grandson were renting in the area and had high hopes of purchasing the home they rented for three years. The owner decided that her fixer upper was worth more than my son could afford. Enter Beth and Gary Shuman, also loving parents (and grandparents) and understand how important it is to be there and do our best to support our children. Beth and Gary have been working very hard to help find a first home for my Son and his family which means more to me than words can express. With this small snapshot of my experience I would be remiss if I did not share my positive experience to others that are seeking a Real Estate Team with integrity. They are exemplary and I highly recommend them, you too, will have made the right choice." - Jeanne B., May 2022

★★★★★
"I’d like to acknowledge Beth Shuman and how extraordinary she was in selling my home in Framingham. The home came on the market at a time when I was out of the country and needed to list it quickly. Beth’s superior knowledge of the market led to pricing the property aggressively, which resulted in multiple offers within days. She is highly communicative and did her homework regarding pricing my home strategically. In addition, Beth provided a long list of vendors needed to prepare the home to sell. I felt so comfortable with her that I gave her complete freedom to contract painters, cleaners, carpenters and plumbers. She knew just whom to call, price matched and oversaw the entire project. She made the process relatively ‘seamless’ and is a ‘true professional’ in her industry. I would highly recommend Beth as a seller’s agent to my friends/relatives in the future. Either Greater Boston and/or Cape Cod & Islands, call Beth. The transaction was painless and worked well. Thank you, Beth and Team!”" - Jordan D., August 2021

★★★★★
"Thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate your professionalism and dedication, as well as your advice and recommendations. You are the BEST." - Florence W., July 2021

★★★★★
"It was an extreme pleasure working with Beth Shuman of Hammond Residential! I would highly recommend Beth to anyone that is in the market to sell – she is a top-notch professional. Beth has a keen sense of what’s important in selling a piece of property, she was on-point in making suggestions for a few improvements prior to the listing of our condo. Beth has a wealth of knowledge in the Chestnut Hill area and stays abreast of current trends. Her resourcefulness and marketing expertise got things in motion at a rapid pace – she made the whole process seamless. Beth’s communications skills I would say are one of her greatest assets, she kept us apprised of everything that was going on with the showings. Beth is most definitely ‘best in class’ when it comes to selling! Thank you, Beth, for all that you did in finding the right buyer for our condo – greatly appreciated your efforts!”" - Suzanne M., April 2021

★★★★★
"Beth has been an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. We bought a house from out-of-state, and were initially anxious about not seeing houses in person before buying and had considered flying in for open houses. Beth was so amazing, though, that we didn't even feel the need -- she is very thorough when looking at houses and knew exactly what to look for and what questions to ask. She knew what we wanted, and was completely upfront when there were houses we liked, but she could tell they weren't a perfect fit (and more importantly, WHY she didn't think they were the best fit so we could make an informed decision). “She has an incredible group of contacts that made the closing process a breeze. Her positive attitude and killer instincts are a huge part of how we made it from a rental in California to our forever home in Massachusetts." - Marissa B. and Spencer S., April 2021

★★★★★
"Moving from Houston to Brighton, I was very apprehensive about finding a place that was worth the money that I was putting down. Beth was thorough in finding places that I wanted to live in and also that fit my budget. Her effort was nothing short of spectacular. I would recommend her to any friend/relative in a second!" - Nyk, February 2021

★★★★★
"First and foremost, thank you so much for ALL of your help with finding our dream first home. You were such a champion, powering through our long hauls across eastern Massachusetts, and handling all of our questions at any hour of the day. You had patience and gave your honest opinions and it's exactly what we needed. Without your knowledge in this process, I don't think we would be as happy as we are with our purchase. All of your recommendations worked out tremendously, and we will HAPPILY work with you in the future if we ever buy or sell again." - Bobby, Melissa, and Milo, December 2020

★★★★★
"We had a great experience working with Beth Shuman and Rose Barron from Hammond Residential Real Estate. You can tell they care about their clients. We were first-time home buyers and they were really helpful during the process. They asked lots of questions and pointed out different features during each home visit which helped us better understand the properties. They invested many hours to help us over the course of the 5 months it took us to find a home. Even after we closed, the support did not stop as we received recommendations on different contractors who could do work on our home. We ended up using the people they recommended and were very happy with the outcome. Overall, it was a pleasure working with them." - Michelle and Teddy, September 2020

★★★★★
"We highly recommend Beth. She is a nice, compassionate, and empathetic person, all extremely valuable traits as we went through the purchase process. "She gave us good advice and was always ready and willing to fight for us. An extremely hard worker and tireless communicator, Beth was ALWAYS available to us, even communicating on our behalf during a nice dinner overseas, many time zones away, when she was supposed to be on vacation. In short, Beth is a great choice." - Manny T., April 2020

"During our time working together, you were diligent, educated, and very pleasant to work with. You went out of your way to make our accommodations and helped us find our great apartment!" - Bobby L., February 2020

★★★★★
"I would like to acknowledge the outstanding service Beth Shuman provided me in finding and purchasing my new residence. She efficiently organized viewing of 6 properties in a few hours and was knowledgeable about each of them. Beth was both professional yet personal as she guided me through the purchase and sale agreement, financing and closing. Her genuine concern for me throughout the process came through at each step including service after the sale. I could not be happier with the work she did for me and feel that I was extremely fortunate to have her by my side and feel I have made a friend for life as a bonus in the deal!" - Mary Ann L., October 2019

★★★★★
"We can not recommend Beth enough! Not only did she care deeply about our needs and preferences, but she treated us like her own daughters and made sure our new apartment was safe and in perfect condition. Beth was our advocate throughout our whole apartment search. Being new to the area and fresh out of college, we absolutely could not have done this without her. She is extremely reliable, always picking up the phone and answering our emails even on weekends. Even though we were just looking for a small apartment, we felt we were Beth’s top priority. She put in so much careful work for us, and we’re so grateful for the time and energy she spent. To say Beth went above and beyond for us is an understatement. Not to mention, she found us the perfect apartment!! Thank you, Beth, we are so grateful for your hard work!" - Carolyn and Meredith S., September 2019

★★★★★
"I just want to commend you on the rental of my condo. You found an excellent tenant and helped both of us work out the many details. This allowed for a smooth transition for me the owner and my tenant. It worked out perfectly for both of us. Thank you." - Frank M., June 2019

★★★★★
"Beth, I am happy to share the fantastic experience I had selling my home with you. You really went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied and happy with the decision of moving forward; you went even further making sure I was settled in new home. Yet there was never a moment I felt pressured and am appreciative of your expertise. I am very grateful to have chosen your professionalism along with our attorney’s knowledge to complete the perfect team. I would highly recommend Beth and our attorney to anyone looking for a skilled team in the industry. Thank you for your excellent service." - Rosilene and Luis C., May 2019

"Beth Shuman is in one word - AMAZING. We sold our house in Ashland and selected Beth as our Realtor after vetting several Realtors and agencies in the area. The sale was complicated by (1) we had relocated to Missouri and 2) we put the house on the market in December. In our very first meeting, she brought a full market analysis and walked us through her marketing strategy. Based on marketing comps, Beth suggested a price range that made sense. Beth also did a walkthrough with us and suggested updates and other nuanced touch-ups to make the house sparkle. We followed her advice. From start to finish Beth ushered us through the process in a very thorough, professional, and gracious manner. Within a short time, the house sold; closed in January. Beth is welcoming, warm, enthusiastic, experienced, highly communicative, and seemingly available 24/7. She is resourceful and remains calm in adversity. For example, we had a last-minute hiccup with smoke detector wiring in the garage. Within a few hours, an electrician was found and made the repair. This was all Beth’s doing. Beth paid for it (and other incidentals) on her credit card which she was reimbursed at closing. Beth recommended a photographer for marketing photos and a real estate attorney -- both were equally competent and communicative. The house sale was all done remotely with much texting and evening phone calls. Because the house was vacant, Beth took excellent care of our home. She checked it regularly even during the Christmas holidays for heat and potential plumbing issues. None occurred. She followed through on her promises, took initiative and action, and importantly, we never once had to chase her down, she was always ahead of the curve. In short, we recommend Beth Shuman without reservation and would employ her again in a heartbeat." - Ron and Donna, February 2019

★★★★★
"Beth was an enormous help in my apartment search. She listened well as I expressed my needs and showed me options that were a good fit; she offered helpful advice but never pushed or lobbied for things I didn’t need or want. Beth was also prompt and responsive: she started sending me prospects immediately and made viewing appointments as soon as I expressed interest in any of them, answering any questions along the way. Despite relocating from out of state, I quickly found and successfully applied for a place that I love." - Brian J., December 2018

★★★★★
"We have known Beth for some time now. She is very focused and detailed. Recently, Beth have helped us sell our property. She was very organized, has a thorough understanding of policies and procedures for selling a property, excellent communication, and a ‘can do’ attitude. I would highly recommend Beth Shuman for any real estate purchase and sale in and around Massachusetts cities and towns. We were fortunate and blessed by the commitment of Beth Shuman. Thank you, Beth, for all your assistance." - Parveen K., July 2018

★★★★★
"It has been such a pleasure working with a Realtor like Beth Shuman. I have bought and sold several houses before, but it has never been a painless process until I had the opportunity to work with Beth. As a medical professional, I never realized that in the business world someone could be so sensitive to a client's need, urgency, and unfamiliarity. Beth was not only an agent for me, she took my case to heart, she understood my needs, fears, and always made herself available to answer all of my calls and texts. Beth's devotion, zeal, and genuine heart have made this process a quick and successful one." - Valentina M., July 2018

★★★★★
"Thank you for all your support and professionalism throughout our rental process. You certainly set a great example of an agent who was striving to bring in suitable tenants to our property while ensuring everything was well-addressed for all parties involved. My husband and I really enjoyed working with you and will utilize your service again for any future rental services." - Noor and Eyad H., May 2018

★★★★★
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Beth for the second time. She sold my home in 2014 in one weekend, and did it again in December 2017. She is creative, hardworking and a wonderful advisor in the anxiety-producing world of real estate. I'll certainly ask for her guidance when we buy in the future!" - Marisa B., January 2018

★★★★★
"It has been a pleasure working with you on the sale of the Newton property. Your knowledge of the market and expert guidance was instrumental to the successful outcome. We commend you for your professionalism, enthusiasm, accessibility and willingness to manage everything down to the smallest detail. Be assured that we would utilize your services again should the need arise and would not hesitate recommending you to potential clients. Thanks again for all your help." - John and Deborah F., October 2017

★★★★★
"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find my new home. This move – and everything leading up to it – has been very emotional for me. But finding that condo gave me such peace of mind and really made me feel like this is what I need to be doing. Thank you for the quick turnaround in scheduling appointments and accommodating my schedule. And thank you for helping me secure my place so quickly. You were a pleasure to work with." - Sarah M., August 2017

★★★★★
"We had to put our condo on the market quickly once we had an offer accepted on another home. After contacting Beth and Angela, they came over to see us less than 24 hours later to show us comps and explain all of the benefits of working with them and with Hammond Residential. We were sold! They were proactive, considerate, and incredibly responsive throughout the process. When our first buyer fell through right before signing the P&S, Beth sprung to action and secured a second offer for us that night. The P&S was signed 3 business days later, and the close date moved up, which was key for us given that we needed to close before buying our new home! On top of their professionalism, Beth and Angela are a pleasure to work with and sincerely care about their clients. We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with them!" - Kate and Ken, July 2017

★★★★★
"Beth Shuman is a remarkable Realtor. She was so hard-working, missed nothing, and went above and beyond what I expected my Realtor to do for me. She had an instinctive knowledge of what I wanted, and then proceeded to find every home that fit the bill. When we looked at houses, Beth noticed things that never would have occurred to me. She never tired, so the process of finding my home was shorter than I had anticipated. I hadn’t expected a Realtor to devote as much time, or give as much care to finding a home as Beth did." - Kathy B., February 2017

★★★★★
"I am an experienced real estate attorney in the Boston area that has been involved in several thousand transactions. I can say without equivocation that Realtors are the engine of this industry. To that end, a quality Realtor is an invaluable part of the real estate transaction. Having worked with Beth Shuman on many deals over the years, she stands out as a cut-above the rest for a variety of reasons. Beth is genuinely invested in her clients’ happiness and goes above and beyond to ensure that the home buying or selling experience is a pleasurable one for all of her clients. For many of us, the home buying/selling process is a highly emotional process and having a trusted professional with a wealth of experience such as Beth is an indispensable resource for her clients. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to purchase or sell their property reach out to Beth." - Jonathan G., February 2017

★★★★★
"Beth helped me find a new apartment for my relocation into Cambridge. I had never before been to the area. Beth identified several places for us to check out, and within the FIRST DAY, I not only found a perfect apartment but also got a great car tour of Boston. The whole experience was well-paced and stress-free, and Beth made sure I was happy and having fun the whole time. I am very lucky to have had Beth as my agent, and I would absolutely work with her again." - Bryan W., September 2016

★★★★★
"Thank you so much for your work with Chi Omega to find our employee an apartment. Our CFO, Carol, is ecstatic about the apartment we found and was so impressed with Beth’s organization, efficiency, and helpfulness! We had a very negative experience with a rental company this past spring when housing a different employee, so you both, and Hammond, have made this a dream. Thank you so much again!" - Payton G., July 2016

★★★★★
"I’ve been working with Beth for the last 2 years or so and cannot say enough about how driven, intelligent and thorough she is when conducting her real estate business. As a lender I often depend on quick responses from Realtors when we need something important to move the file along. Beth is always on top of it! As far as customer service goes, she always holds her customers by the hand and selflessly guides them through the home search process. Her warm, but action-oriented approach with her customers really sets her apart from most other agents. Beth Shuman is a stellar person and Realtor." - Savvas F., January 2016

★★★★★
"It is with gratitude that I write this endorsement for Beth Shuman. My husband and I enlisted her help for both the selling and purchasing of our home. She was personable, thorough and organized with each transaction. Her attention to detail, quick follow-through and accessibility made the process as seamless as possible. Beth listened to our needs and truly incorporated them into our home search. Her insight into the market put our minds at ease. I would absolutely recommend Beth Shuman to any home buyer or seller. Thanks, Beth!" - Joe B., January 2016

★★★★★
"My husband and I are very happy to have met Beth! Beth was a dependable and very resourceful Realtor in our purchase of a home. She made us feel comfortable knowing this was our first home! We would recommend her to all first-time home buyers!" - Viral and Elliot L., January 2016

★★★★★
"Beth is a wonderful, reliable person. Her honesty and professionalism impressed us a lot. She has many resources in hand when you need a quick fix. She knows what to do and she knows when to do it. We have had a pleasant experience with Beth, since she is thorough with the process. She took on the responsibility of listing our house and handled everything very gracefully which alleviated our pain and led to a successful sale. Absolutely loved working with her. She is the best..." - Ganesh B., November 2015

★★★★★
"We met Beth a year ago when we visited Boston and its surrounding area in search of a house to rent. We didn't have much time, just a couple of days, and we really needed to find a place before leaving. We found Beth through a listing and she immediately offered to help us find a house. She scheduled several showings for us in one single day and we ended up finding what we wanted. It was amazing how she immediately realized what our needs and standards were, deciding not to visit the houses which she thought we wouldn't like. Beth is a very sweet and attentive person, she cares for her clients and she is always willing to help with whatever her clients may need. She sat in the car with my kids several times so that I could see a house with my husband or my mom without having to worry about the kids. We contacted her again when we were ready to purchase our own home last winter. We met with her late at night on a weekday and she introduced us to a mortgage broker who was another very important person who helped us make this purchase possible. We searched a lot and visited many houses, and she would always come with us to give her professional opinion on the property. It was our first time buying a house in the U. S., so it was very helpful how she patiently walked us through the process and clarified all our doubts. When we finally found a house we loved, she connected us with a great attorney and a thorough home inspector. In spite of little problems along the way, she kept her confidence and always assured us that we were going to get the house. And we did! We are very grateful and she knows how much she means to us!" - Maria D., May 2015
