"If you're selling your home or condo, forget the multiple interviews and just hire Crystal. You'll save yourself so much time and stress (and make a lot more money :) She's the person you want by your side. She's a master negotiator and completely devoted to her client's happiness. I'm a real estate broker and I could've sold my home on my own, but there's great value in having another skilled professional in your corner. This was my first home and with such a strong emotional attachment there were plenty of times when I wasn't sure how I was going to let go. Crystal was so patient and understanding. She reminded me of my long term goals, while never pressuring me. It was always my choice to move forward or not. In the end, the sale was quick with multiple offers and I got my dream price that set me up for success when we moved. Crystal's real estate business is more than just a business, it's her whole life and when you become one of her past clients, you become part of her family" -Seller

"At a time when buying a house is near impossible in desirable neighborhoods, we needed an agent that was going to do more than just add us to the MLS and get an email once a day of houses I had already seen scowering zillow myself. What happens on TV real estate shows where they bend over backwards and find all these off-market places at great deals seldom happens in real life. Then Crystal came along. We had a VERY small geographic area where very few houses ever came up for sale. Crystal found it early, got us in early, and we had an accepted offer before most buyers even knew it was on the market. It got us out of a mutliple offer situation (since our offer did have financing contingencies) which potentially secured the house for us since it was at the top of our budget. Despite the sellers being very difficult to deal with through the entire process, Crystal shielded us from that, took on all of the responsibilities herself, and got us into our dream home. Can't say enough positive things about Crystal and her team if you want a real estate experience that feels like you are her only client and she is looking out for you 24/7." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Crystal surpassed all expectations for our first home buying journey. Her clear communication and attention to detail at every turn, made navigating the entire experience easy and honestly more exciting than stressful. Crystal never tried to just get us into some house, she continued to tailor what we viewed to our needs and wants, constantly helping steer us in the right direction for our family. Thereā€™s not another realtor in the New England area that I would trust - Crystal is the best in the business. We plan to work with her again years down the road if we sell and have continued to refer her to friends and colleagues alike." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Crystal was a fantastic experience. She is super knowledgeable in all areas of real estate and really helps you understand nuances of the entire home buying process. Whether it was a question about the purchase and sale agreement, or negotiating credits, Crystal offered great advice and guidance. I HIGHLY recommend working with Crystal as she is a true professional, and overall, a great person." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Crystal was amazing. She really helped find our dream home. Her responsiveness and ability to accommodate a showing same-day was incredible and so appreciated. Crystal was able to make it feel like a team and took the scariness out of buying a home!" -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Crystal did an outstanding job assisting us in the process of purchasing the condo. She is knowledgeable and approachable. We strongly recommend her." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
" Absolutely loved working with Crystal! I am a first time homebuyer and knew nothing about the process - Crystal held my hand the entire way! She was always quick to respond no matter how small the process. She made us feel extremely supported the entire time. She encouraged us to see an apartment that we werenā€™t sure of by from the listing. But when we walked in, we knew it was perfect! It checked all the boxes and thereā€™s no way we would have ended up here otherwise. Highly recommend working with Crystal no matter what youā€™re looking for." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Crystal M. is very familiar with the area, and will be able to guide you in what different areas have to offer. She responds quickly, with precise information. We truly enjoyed working with her and canā€™t recommend her enough to help you with your search for a home or guide you through the process of selling yours." -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Crystal was a breeze! As a former real estate agent, I take my time in deciding who to work with as I know how complicated these transactions can be. Moving to a new state is difficult so it was nice to have an expert in the areas we were interested in. The home we purchased required a bit of negotiating - even when the market was still pretty hot for Sellers, and Crystal was able to get us what we needed to get this home. We enjoyed working with her and would do it again!" -Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Crystal was super responsive and made herself available for us for weekend and evening viewings as we needed them. We were moving from 6hrs away, and if felt like we were intown. She did an amazing job understanding our wants and needs and masterfully put together viewing schedules that were time efficient. She was great at helping us understand and filter the listings as well. We found the best house for us and in our price range. She helped us put in an offer (our only offer) that was accepted first try and after living in the house for a few months, we still feel like we got a fair deal. For the market situation, we did an amazing job and will definitely go with Crystal again, if we ever decide to move from this wonderful house that is!" -Buyer
