Tell Us Your Story

Allison was excellent to work with!

Her prompt response to my emails and questions was outstanding and far better than any realtor I've ever worked with. It was also a real pleasure working with her. She lives locally where we were looking making her extremely knowledgeable and able to give us honest opinions from her personal experiences. She understood what we were looking for and advised accordingly. I trusted her and enjoyed the experience.

We wouldn't have our condo if it wasn't for Allison!

Like most people looking in Boston right now, we found the experience rather demoralizing. After being significantly outbid on a condo we had our hopes on, we basically gave up, thinking it wasn't going to happen for us. Having seen many others find the right place even in this very competitive market, Allison didn't give up on us. In fact, she told us the off-season is sometimes the best time to buy and kept sending us places that might work, one of which seemed too perfect. We saw it, put in an offer and it was accepted! Allison's persistence and optimism helped us get our dream home. A few other great things about working with Allison. She is extremely responsive, flexible with our difficult schedules (often helping to schedule a showing outside of open houses), and she works hard to make sure the deal goes through. I put lower marks on local knowledge only because she hadn't worked in JP before and wasn't as familiar with the area. After seeing so many places in JP with us this is probably no longer true. She has extensive knowledge of other areas in Boston, especially Charlestown.

Allison helped us navigate the home buying process as new homeowners from start to end.

She was extremely informative and we learned so much from her. She was with us every step of the way with advice and support. Her response to our questions were timely and thorough. I couldn't imagine going through this process without her!! She has our highest praise and we will always be grateful for her partnership.

Allison's extensive knowledge of the real estate market is evident.

This was a huge help to us, as we were first time home buyers. She is confident and collaborative, making her a great partner in this process. Allison was able to advise us through our offer process, where our offer was accepted that evening! We highly recommend her.

Suzannah

Allison is an exceptional broker--we highly recommend her for Charlestown area sales.

As a Boston resident she is knowledgeably about the neighborhood and comparables. Allison's knowledge of the process, professionalism, and expertise were stellar. She advised us on de-cluttering and hired a photographer that made our unit look amazing. Allison kept us informed throughout the process and worked hard to get us the best offer. We have also used her as a broker for a rental property and Allison continually delivered quality tenants and made the process easy. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Erica

Allison helped me sell, buy, and rent property in Charlestown, MA.

I've worked with several Boston area agents in the past, and Allison is by far the easiest and most effective. She always provides several different solutions to the myriad of issues that tend to pop up during housing deals. She's very savy, and always kept my best interest in mind.

Allison has rented and marketed my condo in South Boston now for over 10 years.

She is very knowledgeable, she knows the market and the clientele. She has been able to find me excellent tenants and always follows up to be sure I am satisfied. I cannot say enough of how much of a pleasure it is to work with Allison. She has made my experience stress free. I feel I am in wonderful hands with her and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, whether is be someone looking for a rental or to buy in the Boston area. Thank you, Allison!

Jennifer

As a first time homebuyer the entire prospect of jumping into the housing market was daunting to say the least.

My girlfriend and I knew we needed to find a perfect real estate agent before we could ever find our perfect home. After looking around we decided to enlist Allison as our guide into the home buying process and knew immediately we made the right choice. She was honest and straight forward with us about every property that we looked at. With her immense knowledge of the real estate market in Massachusetts we, as complete novices to this world, were able to make highly informed decisions about our home purchase. Allison eventually helped us land an offer on our dream home (one we thought we never even exist at our price point) and even fought to get it accepted within a day! We are so happy with how simple she made the entire process feel and couldn't recommend her enough.

Not only did she help us find a rental in the middle of winter with all of our requirements, she was also able to help us negotiate the broker's fee and rent. Allison is an extremely responsive and was a pleasure to work with."
