"What impressed me most about Brett was his great enthusiasm for both my house and the neighborhood, his first hand familiarity of all the recent sales, and the fact that his commission was almost $4,000.00 less than other agents. I was especially pleased that he was able to convince the buyer to "forgive" the $10,000 termite report and take the house as-is. I think people are crazy to pay a 6% commission when someone as good as Brett is available for thousands less!"

"It's already been a few years since Brett sold our house on Acton St. for what was then the highest price for a two bedroom in the neighborhood. He also represented us in the purchase of our current home. Brett is a savy negotiator and his backround in architecture and construction was extremely helpful. In hindsight, the fact that he also saved us some $5,000 in commissions was the least of his accomplishments!"

"While we were initially tempted to sell "by owner", Realty Advocates' low 4% commission convinced us otherwise. We chose their full service and with just 5 days on the market, Hal brought us eleven offers resulting in a sales price exceeding our wildest dreams. He has our unqualified endorsement."

"I interviewed several agents from some of the biggest real estate companies in town but no one really inspired me. After talking with Hal Feiger at Realty Advocates, however, I finally found what I was looking for: a seasoned propfessional with a creative approach. I saved over $3,000 in commissions and have since recommended him to several friends."

"We recently made our first foray into investment property, and could not have done it without Vinita. She was patient when we debated whether to make an offer on a building, and made sure we were 100% comfortable with the offer we were writing. Most importantly, she was fiercely loyal to our interests, not the deal. We really appreciate her experience and knowledge."

"We are writing to give our enthusiastic endorsement of Dalia as a real estate agent. We met Dalia at an open house. Her attitude, knowledge and charm convinced us that she will be "our agent"! We told her what we wanted in a house -views, lots of room, yard, and a very specific area -the whole 9 yards and for a reasonable price. Dalia begged us to look at a house "out of the area" we wanted. We resisted, she insisted. And are we lucky! We are now in that house. We were in multiple bids and wanted to offer a lot more to get the house. Dalia said "no, you don't need to go that high". We got it and saved a lot of money. Thank you Dalia!"

Constantine and Elena

Sincerely, C.W.

"I met Dalia while my wife was very ill. She showed compassion, care and sensitivity while we were selling and buying a new home that was appropriate for my wife who had recently become handicapped. Two years later, when I sold the house, Dalia insisted on a price higher than I wanted to list it at. Imagine a seller wanting a lower price than the agent! Dalia coordinated the staging and minor repairs making my house look so fabulous that we received multiple offers. I accepted an offer higher than the listing price. Dalia accomplished this during a period when house-prices were falling in the million dollar + category. I highly recommend Dalia as your real estate agent. You are guaranteed a friend and a professional."

"Dalia recently sold my son his home, so I could think of no one better to represent me. She is very professional, knows the real estate market and intuitively understood what I was looking for. We made several offers, only to loose out in the multiple-bidding process. Dalia managed to keep my spirits up through this emotional roller-coaster and we did finally get an offer accepted. The transaction went smoothly and I am very happy in my home. I heartily endorse Dalia, both for her professionalism, and her great personality. She was lots of fun to work with."
