"Elissa represented us buying and selling a home in Needham and we had an A+ experience. Elissa knows the Needham market inside and out, which is crucial in competitive processes where things move quickly. She took the time to understand our needs, look at homes on our behalf, and helped us get comfortable making a big decision without being pushy. On the sell-side, her advice/knowledge on pricing, presentation, timing, etc. all helped us get amazing offers. Highly recommend!"

"Elissa guided us through the process of buying in a competitive Needham market to secure a house that fit our needs. She then sold our existing house in record time for over ask and with very favorable terms. Elissa is knowledgeable about the process and is extremely responsive such that you never feel like you are operating by yourself with just a broker to write up paperwork."

"Elissa is simply the best! Elissa helped us focus our house search in Needham by helping us identify exactly what we were looking for in a new home. Once we agreed on our must haves, her knowledge of the market was critical to becoming aware of the current and anticipated inventory. Thanks to Elissa's expertise, we were ready, prepared, and confident in finding a new home. Elissa also sold our old house in Needham. She brought local expertise to the marketing strategy, and she staged the house, transforming it from a kid haven to a gorgeous and chic place to call home. Thank you Elissa!
"I had the pleasure of working with Elissa Rosenfelt on a recent transaction where I represented the listing, and she brought a well-qualified buyer. Elissa was wonderful to work with. Her professionalism, dedication, and hard work were evident throughout the entire process. She communicated effectively, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Elissa's positive attitude and commitment to her clients helped to make this transaction a success. Her buyers were delightful as well, making the experience even better.

Her responsiveness and professionalism are unmatched! It is her expertise that saw us through the entire process with grace and a warm smile. We are forever grateful that we chose Elissa.

★★★★★
"Elissa is calm, organized and adept at understanding the nuts and bolts of the selling process as well as the emotions involved as we sellers and buyers make our major decisions concerning our homes. She works in that buy/sell space which is among the most life altering moments we have…our choices have financial, emotional and physical impact to ourselves and our families.
She understands this, and she keeps things cool and even-keeled. She helps establish a “just right” momentum and calendar so the seller has adequate time to complete tasks and lists and follows through with real understanding of the market forces.
Elissa always has a positive attitude and her input always made sense to me. I highly recommend Elissa because she is competent and a joy to work with!"

"Stop looking!! Do you want a team that will work tirelessly to help you find and purchase your dream home? That team is the dynamic duo of Elissa Rosenfelt and Samantha Eisenberg at Compass. We met Elissa and Sam on a lark looking at homes “for fun” one afternoon about a year ago. Meeting Elissa and Sam was truly kismet and we became their clients that evening. The 2022/2023 market in Newton, Needham and Wellesley areas is complex. Limited inventory, rising interest rates and very competitive bidding did not deter this team. They knew we were “picky” and always showed us homes that might fit our needs. We looked at over 20 homes in person and dozens more online with their guidance. Elissa and Sam helped us with our offers and always made us feel that they would help us find a great fit for us. They have tireless energy to keep looking and never let us get pessimistic as we looked. Elissa always said, “we will find your home, and will work with you until you do.” We cannot say enough about the seamless way they work together. Their knowledge, availability, and great attitude kept us hoping and hopeful until we “closed”. We found a wonderful Tudor home in Newtonville thanks to their efforts. Compass is lucky to have them, we were lucky to stumble into their guidance and could not be happier. Stop looking… get onboard! "

"Elissa was the perfect REALTOR to sell my home. She was always available, professional and knowledgable every step of the way. From helping to prepare my home for sale, to the staging and the seamless open house process, she was incredible. What could have been a very difficult experience was fun and exciting. With her expertise and her non-stop work ethic, she was able to bring the house to market quickly, and received multiple offers over the asking price. She will be my first call for my future real estate needs!"

"Our experience working with Elissa to downsize from our current home has been exceptional. Elissa has spent significant time with us as we visited properties in the Greater Boston suburbs even as far as Westborough. She staved in nearly daily contact with us either by phone, email or through our Compass Collection to update us on the most recent and realistic listings for our needs. She was always more than generous with her time. During this process she was always professional, thoughtful and patient with us. We never felt pushed. She understood our specific situation and our personalities - no easy task! She understands the real estate market and made an inherently stressful process into a pleasant and comfortable search. We are very grateful to Elissa and recommend her without reservation. She is 5 star!"

"Elissa was the most professional, kind, hardworking Realtor I have ever met. She has an amazing personality, always answered quickly and if she didn't have the answer she would get one immediately. With out her I don't believe the sale of my home would have gone so smoothly. There are just not enough words to describe my satisfaction with her service. She had my property under contract within 10 days. She was available for questions at any point of the day, and clearly explained every stage of the process. I was never confused and this was the first house I have ever sold. I will send anyone I know trying to sell or buy to Elissa."
