The Rooney Group

Peter and Kathleen went ABOVE and BEYOND for my family when we were selling our home! We already had a long-standing relationship with Peter from selling us a prior home, and we could not think of anyone better to work with than Peter when it came to selling! His wife Kathleen has now joined him, and she is the icing on the cake - they make an absolutely exceptional team! Peter has a depth of experience and knowledge about selling and buying homes which makes it easy to have confidence in his advice and suggestions. Peter came out to our home to meticulously repair several parts of our home before selling. Kathleen and Peter staged our home beautifully without even needing to hire anyone else. Selling with two young children was stressful, but Kathleen and Peter helped take so much stress away from us. We really felt incredibly comfortable in their hands. What really touched us was when they traveled all the way to our home on our moving day, just to say goodbye and offer a goodie bag of treats for our kids as we were traveling out of state that day. What a wonderful couple and outstanding team. Look no further than the Rooney Group for buying or selling your home! We have already recommended them to several people! Thank you again and again Peter and Kathleen! We miss working with you!

" We have used Peter to help us find our home in Lexington, then several years later he helped us sell that same home since we were re-locating to another state. From both a buyer's and seller's standpoint, Peter has been amazing! He is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable regarding the real estate market in the Boston area he and goes above and beyond to help his clients. I have used several realtors over the years and have never experienced the level of service that Peter provides. He helped us prepare our home for the sale and had a detailed, well-constructed marketing plan that had our home sold within days. He has been very involved in the process, whether it was the purchase or the sale of our home, and both transactions have gone very smoothly. He makes himself readily available to his clients, either by phone or answering text or emails promptly. He kept us informed every step of the way and exceeded our expectations on all levels. We would definitely use him again and heartily recommend him!" - Carol & Bob B.

★★★★★ Peter is an outstanding broker "Peter is an outstanding broker. He is extremely hard-working, responsive and organized. He turns around thorough answers in a short time and is always hands-on. We purchased a large, old New England home with guest home which required a day long inspection. Peter attended the entire inspection and walk-through afterwards. When we moved in there was 15 inches of snow on the ground so he personally came by early to shovel the walkways knowing we had a big family with kids and grandparents moving in." T.M, Wayland

★★★★★
"Peter J. Rooney is an amazing realtor and person. His knowledge of the area and market trends; his availability at every step, even when he is out of town; his tireless effort to ensure you get what you need and want; his willingness to jump in and assist in whatever capacity, even after the signature inks have dried... the list is endless. The entire buying experience was more than just buying a property, it was knowing that you had someone in your corner, whose only job was to make sure everything went your way. Even after closing, he came out to help put some finishing touches to the house on his own time (that was pretty incredible). When we have another project, he is our go to guy. We will recommend him at every chance we get because he's more than a realtor to us. He is the person who will always be in your corner during and after the entire process. You can't go wrong with choosing him as your realtor." - Zainab

★★★★★
"Peter J. Rooney is an excellent Buyers' agent. Knowledgeable and experienced, he guided us through the selection and purchase of our new home. Always responsive, he went well beyond what was required of him to secure the ideal house for us for an excellent price. We would not hesitate to work with him again, and highly recommend him." David Roberts

★★★★★
"This was my first home purchase and Peter was very patient and took time to explain the process to me. He does a good job assessing the positives and negatives of a property and pointed out important things that I might not have considered on my own. He is friendly, efficient, and accessible. I would recommend anyone who wants to deal with an honest agent that is interested in finding the best home for his client so they will be happy long after the commission check is received."- Karen Hager

★★★★★
"Peter was a great help when I moved to the area from out of state. When I came to look for housing, he was very accommodating with my limited schedule and met with me outside regular business hours. The night before our appointments, he even took the time to suggest local restaurants since he knew I was not familiar with the area. Even though my move was last minute, he still took great care in understanding what I was looking for in a neighborhood and in a home. He was able to recommend areas that fit my needs and even provided extra detail, such as how long it would take me to get downtown and what kind of traffic I could expect on the way to work. He was also a great liaison between me and the owner and made sure all my questions were answered in a timely manner. Even after I officially moved, he continued to check in with me and make sure everything went smoothly"- Emily K.

★★★★★
"I cannot recommend Peter enough - we were new the US housing market, and Peter has been there constantly with providing us with sound advice, support and going way above all our expectations for an agent. Even after we've moved in and he is still helping us out! Thanks, Peter, for making our home buying possible." Simon L.

★★★★★
"We recently moved to Massachusetts from Ireland and Peter was our relocation adviser. Peter collected us from our hotel in Boston during our initial fact find trip, two months before our permanent move and showed as all the various areas to live and gave some fantastic insight into the city and surrounding towns as well as eventually helping us to choose the home to rent that was right for us. He kept in contact with us until our permanent arrival to make sure everything ran smoothly and assisted in minor trivial issues on our permanent arrival. When you are new to a City and Country, the so called small trivial daily issues can become daily hassles but Peter went above and beyond his role to assist in helping us overcome these issues and make sure we settled in. Peter was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend him for his responsiveness and his courtesy in the way he deals with people." - Brendan & Miriam

★★★★★
"Peter helped me understand the local housing market; he took time to explore different areas with me and helped to focus my search on a location that suited my lifestyle. Peter was always extremely responsive and made himself available even at weekends and late in the evening to answer questions and provide guidance with the tricky MA house buying process. After my sale has completed, he has continued to be very supportive and has been a great source of local information. I cannot recommend Peter enough to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy representative to guide them through their next move. Thank you, Peter." - Sharon M. 

★★★★★
"We selected Peter due to his knowledge of the Lexington/Arlington market and his open and honest approach. With the difficult market, it was important to us to know the compete. We were not disappointed. Peter was available and responsive 24/7 and joined us for the weekend at open houses, exceeding our expectations of what a realtor should do. We were able to purchase, close and move into our home within 3 months. The closing process was smooth, and Peter was attentive to the details throughout-including making a quick fix to the sink drain at the last minute to take it of our plate. We highly recommend Peter and would use him again in heartbeat."- Kathy

★★★★★
"My wife, son and I were in downtown Lexington, where we met Peter Rooney. He was far and away the best real estate agent that we had worked with. He spent an hour simply talking with us about the real estate market, the general process and different things to consider. He said that he would be happy to represent us but that we would never be under any obligation to work with him. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and honest. Unlike previous experiences with other realtors, we never had to send listings to him to request showings because he sent them to us first based on his strong understanding of what we were looking for. The house that we ended up buying was something that he found and he got it to us right after it went on the market. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially those who aren’t enthusiastic about their current realtor. " - Jake & Megan Y.

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney is a great agent. He worked on getting the right price for our home, he did his homework finding the comps in our area. He is very professional. Always got back to us quickly with any questions and concerns we had. He made the home selling process go very smoothly was very patient with us, never made us feel like we were asking a 'dumb" question. I would recommend Peter Rooney because there was an offer the first day it was on the market. He nailed it as far as the asking price. If you want an agent who goes above and beyond what you want and need from a real estate agent Peter Rooney is your man. Our home closed 6 weeks after it went on the market. If you choose him us your agent, you will NOT be sorry." - John & Jane Goreham

★★★★★
"I am a recently separated woman who purchased a condo from Peter. Peter was there for me every step of the way - communicating constantly. I had to make a lot of decisions - in a short amount of time - and appreciated Peter's guidance. I would highly recommend Peter! PS - love my condo!!" - Charlene P.

★★★★★
"We lived in another city and had been working with a realtor who was unresponsive and allowed our house to sit there unattended. Once we started working with Peter, he helped us get the house in showing order right away. It sold within 2 months." - Michael J

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney is an outstanding buyer's agent who helped us buy our dream home in Lexington. Coming from Cambridge, England, my wife and I had little understanding of the US process of buying a house. Peter helped us every step of the way, his expert local was essential for us quickly identify the best location and perfect house for us. I would thoroughly recommend him." - Phil & Elaine S.

★★★★★
"Peter is an informed and responsive agent. He invests the time to get to know his clients and goes out of his way to provide valuable insights and perspectives on communities, local neighborhoods and balanced view of housing options. Peter is also a patient agent, transparent and candid with the reality of purchasing a home in the Boston market. We recommend him w/ the highest enthusiasm." - John M 

★★★★★
"Peter is an excellent agent. He is not interested in simply selling you any old house. He was very considerate of my needs and was brutally honest, which is refreshing in a pool full of agents who are trying to tell you what they think you want to hear. He also knows the local landscape well as well as the relevant rules and common "practices" of certain towns. I found this to be helpful when I bought a home in Arlington. I would definitely recommend him. 4 out of 5 stars for negotiation, but good luck negotiating in a sellers’ market.

★★★★★
"Peter is very professional, knows the market and works hard for his clients. Our relocation company introduced us to Peter, and we worked with him on our initial visit to the Boston area. When we finally moved here the relocation company changed contracts and we were given a different agent, that didn't work out too well. We requested and thankfully were reunited with Peter. He has our complete endorsement." - Dan & Serena

★★★★★
"Peter is an exceptionally skilled and dedicated Realtor. He is prompt in responding to any queries. He was always on top of the purchasing process; following up to ensure no delays or surprises would appear and keeping us informed all the way. He is also highly knowledgeable on housing construction which we found invaluable since we were looking at buying an older home. Even two years after our home purchase, we still consult Peter whenever a home repair issue arises because he always has great advice. We have recommended him to our friends and family who have all had great success in finding their new home with him. Peter is a great asset for anyone looking to buy a home and we highly recommend him." - Christine & Scott B

★★★★★
"My wife and I have worked with many real estate people over the years. We're delighted to have run across Peter several years ago. Peter is extremely responsive (usually within minutes), thoughtful, honest, dedicated, and personal. He has worked diligently to rent our property for several years and has been able to do so generally within a few days each time it becomes available (at a fairly high price and with very high-quality tenants). When we first met Peter, he promised to look out for the property during its lease term, not just find a tenant, and he has completely followed through on that promise. My wife and I travel a lot so it is extremely comforting to know that Peter is there to assist us if a problem arises. In short, we feel very fortunate to have Peter representing us. He's truly exceptional and a really decent guy - I couldn't recommend him more highly." -John N..

★★★★★
"A fantastic agent. Peter took the time to really get to know us and know exactly what we wanted in a home. He was also patient with us as we familiarized ourselves with an overseas market, helping us along the way. By the end of the process, he knew which homes to prioritize for our viewing, and his advice was always spot on. He has also remained available to us now as new homeowners, advising in many different areas. Heartily recommended" -Jonathan D

★★★★★
"Peter really went above and beyond to help me with my relocation from Massachusetts to Florida. There was a lot that I did not have time to do like supervising my movers, decluttering my home, scheduling landscaper, painter, and cleaning crew. Peter mentioned many times to me that he is a "full service" realtor and he really demonstrated that to me over the last few months. I really appreciate all of Peter's help and any homeowner looking to sell or buy a new home would be lucky to work with Peter." - Amy & Johnny H

★★★★★
"Peter Provided me with an excellent service when I bought my first house. He was there every step of the way and made the process as painless as possible. He was very responsive whether it was email, phone or text which made things easy when a quick decision was needed. Peter is very honest and very supportive. He never forced me to any decisions yet was honest in giving his opinion. I would recommend Peter Rooney to anyone looking for a home in this competitive market." - Zainab

★★★★★
"Peter is friendly and at the same time professional which is a delicate balance that not many real estate professionals achieve. He attends to any problems promptly without involving me which means I do not have to deal with the headaches. I have known Peter for over five years and intend on keeping him as my real estate professional." - Dr T. 

★★★★★
"Peter was fantastic in all regards. His knowledge of the local market was excellent, and he was quite attentive and responsive. A true professional." - Toby

★★★★★
"Peter has excellent technical knowledge of houses and the construction practices that are used in this area. It was great to go on tours of houses with him and have him point out the strengths and weaknesses of a given property." - Ramsey Saleem

★★★★★
"I am the Senior Corporate Consultant at Relocation. Peter assists my corporate transferees with the difficult decisions on where to live and what's in their best interest to purchase. He is warm, personable and highly ethical, so someone relocating to the Greater Boston area can trust Peter's advice and guidance." - Fran F.

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He handled the sale of our home quickly, professionally and with great charm. Not only did he help us sell our property for more than we had anticipated getting, but we also got above asking price and a smooth transaction. We found him to always be available via phone, text or email - day or night - to keep us informed of what was happening or to answer questions, and he proved to be very helpful in assisting us with several incidental tasks which we couldn't take care of while out of town. We would gladly recommend Peter to anyone, and we consider him a friend." -Michael & Stacy Allen

★★★★★
"We loved working with Peter Rooney. He was very professional, engaging in clear, timely and concise communications. We highly recommend Peter." - Nancy P

★★★★★
"As first-time home buyers in the area, Peter J. Rooney guided us through the entire process from start to finish. His knowledge and expertise in not only real estate but general contracting was a huge asset. He was organized, thorough and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable every step of the way. Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with." - William & Stephanie Monterroso

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney was a life saver after several months of a property management nightmare. Mold caused our tenants to move out after contacting the Board ofHealth and the subsequent remediation and construction. After interviewing three major real estate companies, I decided to go with this  because I was more impressed with Mr Rooney. He outlined a plan based on experience, his time management skills and an appealing personality. My decision was correct. Peter quickly got the property listed and fielded inquiries. The process was effective, smooth and quick. Peter was knowledgeable, personable and handled all the details. I would use him again and recommend his services for this major event in most people's lives." - Dale Watkins

★★★★★
"We were put in contact with Peter as part of my husband's corporate relocation package when we moved from out of state. On a very tight schedule, Peter took a full day to show me around the area and find a rental property that would work for our family while we sold our previous house and got to know the area. He provided a concise overview of our options, was receptive to my suggestions, and gave his own opinion of our best course of action. Having helped us to rent the perfect townhouse to meet our interim needs, he waited patiently for us to settle in and return to the house hunt. We ended up buying the first house we looked at, in part because Peter's clear and competent explanation of the market and accurate understanding of our temperament gave us the confidence to move forward knowing that this really was the right house for us, without enduring a protracted search. Having decided to bid on the house, Peter once again provided clear and competent advice on presenting a viable offer in a competitive market, yet he was never overbearing, condescending, or pushing us to do anything we were uncomfortable with. After our offer was accepted, it was smooth sailing through an easy and on-time closing, thanks to Peter's efficiency and professionalism. I would certainly recommend Peter to friends." - Sarah & Chris B.

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney, the realtor, was very accommodating to my schedule, extremely knowledgeable about construction, remodeling and negative aspects of a property and had a wonderful personality to boot. Peter could have "sold" me any house early on, but he was all about finding me the right house. I would highly recommend him to any person relocating to the greater Boston area. He should be Takeda's exclusive realtor. And he is very well connected with other realtors and tradesman when work is required in the new home." - Cynthia C 

★★★★★
"Peter is absolutely the best realtor I have ever worked with. After a lengthy search, which he did joyfully, he found me the home that met every criteria on my wish list, including the #1 town.


★★★★★
"As I have told my coworkers and family members, we were able to find a house so quickly because of the amazing job that Peter did guiding us through the process. Peter is still helping us and will likely be one of our first friends in the Boston area. I have already recommended him to a coworker and will continue to do so. Peter will get first dibs on selling our place I the future." Dan B.

★★★★★
"It was important for us to work with a broker who understood our sensibility and our sense of urgency as my husband started a new job and was commuting from NY to MA, leaving early on Monday morning, returning on Thursday evening and working from home on Friday.

We appreciated Peter's expertise as far as the physical condition of the houses we viewed as well as his understanding of what improvements or changes would be structurally possible. He also saved us time when we saw a house that appealed to us online by telling us when a neighborhood or street would not be right for us - heavy traffic, etc.

Peter was on top of things from our initial meeting till we shook hands at the completion of our closing. He replied to our emails and texts in a timely fashion and if he was busy, would let us know when he would be available to get back to us. He made sure all the I's were dotted and T's were crossed before closing day, taking nothing for granted." - Michelle & Paul

★★★★★
"Peter Rooney rented our family home in Lexington. He was very professional and well organized as well as extremely reliable.

Thank you, Peter, for making the process stress free." -Denise

★★★★★
"Peter is an outstanding broker. He is extremely hard-working, responsive and organized. He turns around thorough answers in a short time and is always hands-on. We purchased a large, old New England home with guest home which required a day long inspection. Peter attended the entire inspection and walk-through afterwards. When we moved in there was 15 inches of snow on the ground so he personally came by early to shovel the walkways knowing we had a big family with kids and grandparents moving in." - Tap & Becca

★★★★★
"Peter was fantastic! He helped us find, secure, and buy our dream house. We were in California during most of the process, but Peter made the house buying process as easy as possible. Despite the 3 hour time difference, he was available at any time to answer our questions. We recently moved into our new house, and he continues to provide assistance with finding local contractors. They all know him! I highly recommend working with Peter, especially if you are relocation from out of state." - Carmi Punzalan, MD

We were able to follow his guidance and he was able to stick to his timetable, upon listing we had offers within the first week. Peter exceeded all expectations and we're thankful to have him represent us." - Nick Achorn

★★★★★
"We received wonderful service from Peter. We had a very bad experience with a previous real estate company and agent (we lost an offer after a verbal acceptance).
