 | Bill & Suzanne Harris "Thanks for putting up with us. Couldn't have sold the house without you! Guti says hello and come to visit anytime. Again, thanks for all your patience and help selling our home."- R. Gunzelmara, Headlands Drive |
"Attn: Mullen & Partners
Just a note to say thank you for a job well done. The amazing team of Harris and Harris were a pleasure to deal with in such a difficult real estate market. It was obvious to us by the advertsing, open houses, and number of propective buyers, that they were actively marketing our house. The quality of the MLS photographs was outstanding, and their advise was sound. When our house sold they even helped us find a mover. We would (and have) highly recommend them. They are great and you should be proud to have them on your team. We were very lucky to have them work for us.
-Thank you,
Richard anf Virginia G."
 | Dwayne Stefano "In September of 2008, we welcomed into our home at Pheasant Ln, Marshfield, your agent Dwayne Stefano. At the end of what proved to be a very informative session Robert and I contracted to sell our property through your agency.
...Dwayne was with us every step of the way. He informed us of every thing that we had to do before our first showing to improve upon the appearance of this house. He also informed us of things that we would need to do when we sold the house.
The amount of time and effort that he put into the sale of our house was extraordinaire. The time he took taking pictures and posting the house for sale on the Internet and in local listing was exceptional. Each and every time there was a showing he informed us of all the comments good and bad. He kept our hopes up when we felt that there would not be a sale for a very long time. He kept telling us that there was a buyer out there for our house somewhere and not to become discouraged.
He was right! ...Dwayne continued working hard for us even when he was on his vacation by emailing us correspondence from the buyer's attorney and answering our questions as well as our attorney's.
It was a pleasure working with Dwayne. He understood that we were not just selling a house but that we were selling our home. His extra effort and care to detail was what surely helped to make the sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Dwayne and Options 153 to anyone who was looking to sell their property.
Sincerely,
Robert & Marinda Smith" |
 | Michael Rotman "Dear Potential Buyer,
I had the privilege of working with Michael Rotman this past spring. I was relocating to Plymouth and time was of the essence. We explored all sale and foreclosure options.
Michael guided me through the prequalification process and really educated me about the real estate market. He helped me come to the conclusion that I was not financially ready to buy the kind of home I wanted. He allowed me to see the reality of it instead of selling me something that I would struggle to afford. Michael found a beautiful townhouse rental for us and I am very thankful. I will be giving Michael the green light sometime within the next year to start searching for my first home.
Best wishes,
Holly Malone" |
"Michael Rotman served as our agent to facilitate our move from Concord, NH and find our new home in Plymouth, MA. Not only does Michael has a strong background and understanding of the Massachusetts real estate market, in particular the Plymouth area, but also a very strong commitment to customer service and support. It was a pleasure working with Michael."
- Larry and Marylou Ford
"During our relocation to Plymouth, MA Michael Rotman assisted us in finding our "perfect home". He listened to our list of "must have and have nots", did not "oversell", and did in fact find our "perfect home". He is an efficient, knowledgeable, sensitive person and a true Professional. Thank you Michael."

 | Cheryl Chalhoub "Dear Brian Mullen,
This letter is to let you know how extremely satisfied we were with our Realtor, Cheryl Chalhoub.
I originally called her about 3 years ago when my husband and I were curious about the value of our house. I explained to her that we most likely would not be selling any time in the near future or perhaps not at all and I told her I would completely understand if she didn't want to make a trip to appraise our house under those circumstance. Fortunately for us, she was so helpful and came out to see us and spent a great deal of her time here. Over the past few years we have also called her for information on our house value and options and she has always kept us informed with the sales of pond front properties and other helpful information.
Last December we impulsively bought a home in Florida and we decided not to keep the home in Plymouth. Naturally we did not consider giving the listing to anyone but Cheryl. Her knowledge, friendliness and professional work ethics were outstanding. She kept in constant touch with us and worked tirelessly to bring about the upcoming sale of our house during one of the worst real estate markets in decades.
We would be delighted to highly recommend Cheryl and your Agency to any of our friends or relatives.
Sincerely,
Wayne and Bonnie Albion" |
"Over the past 25 years my wife and I have dealt with at least a dozen agents and brokers and we have parties in at least eight property transactions. We have found that there are three key skills that a real estate professional must have. The first is the ability to get to know their clients and what they are looking for so that a lot of time isn't wasted looking at the wrong property. The second is knowing the market and being able to provide sound pricing and negotiating advice. The final talent is having the finesse to smooth out the snags that inevitably pop up jeopardizing the deal.
Many real estate people have one or two of the above skills, but only a handful possess all three. Cheryl Chalhoub is one of those professionals who can do it all. It was obvious to us that Cheryl had done a lot of homework before we even met and she continued to work tirelessly behind the scenes throughout our search and purchase of our new home. She previewed homes before showing them to us which allowed her to anticipate our questions and concerns and avoid the disappointment of going to a property and finding that it's nothing like what you are looking for. Cheryl's vast experience working with buyers and sellers gives her a perspective that neither my wife nor I saw even though we had previously bought and sold a number of properties. We credit her with saving us thousands of dollars by giving us sound advice as we developed a strategy of how we would present an offer and negotiate the deal. Our purchase involved some creative financing and we quickly came to appreciate Cheryl's expertise in bringing the two sides together. Most importantly, after our offer was negotiated and accepted and the sellers realized the deal we got, Cheryl kept everything on track when the sellers became reluctant to follow through on the deal.
Cheryl maintained the same energy and attention to detail after the deal was struck; from the inspections through the closing. She gave us many excellent recommendations for local inspectors, contractors and other professionals that we needed at various points both before and after the purchase. The final outcome was our acquisition of the home of our dreams at a price we could afford with an absolute minimum of stress or drama. We couldn't have been more pleased.
It is our pleasure to recommend Cheryl Chalhoub as an agent that we hold in the highest esteem. We wish she serviced the areas where our other homes are located as we would not hesitate for a moment to enlist her as our agent and representative.

 | Brian Mullen "Hi Brian,
Thanks so very much for your assistance with the sale of our home. Ray said last night that everything you told us went as planned. Your optimism and experience was invaluable and you were a pleasure to work with- we will recommend you to anyone needing real estate services in the future.

 | Sandy Scannell "To Whom it may concern
Re: Sandra Hayes Scannell
Please be advised that Ms Scannell has been retained by The Bank of Canton to sell various Bank owned properties on our behalf. Our experience with her has been extremely positive. She is energetic and focused, has high visibility in the marketplace, and utilizes strong networking skills to develop outlets to achieve sales opportunities.
Results have been excellent. Nine out of twelve properties listed with Ms Scannell since March 2009 have sold. That is one per month!! As a result of her success, we have recently given her additional listings and have referred other parties with properties to sell to her. She views a listing as a challenge, and approaches achieving a sale as a goal.
Further, she has stepped up in multiple situations to assist us with the management of these properties. She has helped us hire contractors, she has helped us with town boards, permitting and use issues, and just last week organized the prompt response and remediation of a broken pipe and flood repairs to a vacant home. She is resourceful, diligent and focused.
During the selling period, Sandy communicates regularly and assumes additional responsibilities for the marketed properties. We strongly recommend her as a qualified and dedicated real estate sales professional on the South Shore and Cape Cod.
Sincerely,
Edward J. G.
Senior Vice President
The Bank of Canton"

 | Jenna Shurtleff "To Whom it May Concern,
I'm writing to let you know how satisfied I am with the service and professionalism I experienced with Jenna Shurtleff. Jenna and I met this past November when I was in the market. Jenna was very helpful in scheduling the showing and working around my schedule. On the day of the showing Jenna arrived with not only the details for the space I was to look at; but, a few others as well which was very helpful. When I decided to move forward Jenna was there to help and walk me through the process. She's a great addition to your team and will make Options 153 proud as she furthers her career in real estate.
I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent. She's a wonderful person to work with and I'm grateful to have had her guide me through the often confusing and stressful world of real estate.
Sincerely,
Matthew Cotti" |
 | Kim White "Kim White Rocks!
We had a terrific experience during our relocation to Plymouth buying our home. We highly recommend KIM WHITE to others for the following reasons:
· Kim met face to face with us initially to determine our compatibility before we signed up with her as our agent
· Outlined finances and had respect for our budget and expectations early in the process
· Came well prepared for each meeting and adjusted schedules based on our needs. She grouped homes of interest and our requests by neighborhoods for time efficiency
· She LISTENED to our needs! Kim knew immediately upon walking in a home whether or not it would meet our requirements for furniture, floor plans, family needs
· Kim recommended dependable and reputable resources in the local community for additional services we requested
· She stayed "connected" to us after the sale for our smooth adjustment to the new area and community
Thank you for this opportunity to share our story!
Sincerely,
John and Barbara L.
Plymouth, MA" |
 | Jane Coit
"Buying a house is always an adventure. But our recent relocation -- a lightning-fast move back to New England after nine years in Austria -- was a unique challenge. Thank goodness for Jane Coit of Options 153, who went right to work for us even before we left Europe.
There were a few unexpected bumps on the road to our dream home, but Jane worked quickly, tirelessly and efficiently to smooth the way. Along the way, we got a terrific overview of the region from Jane, who knows the Plymouth area inside-out. She seemed to sense instinctively what we were looking for, and in the end, she helped us find that special property.
If you need a highly professional, knowledgeable and responsive agent, you'll be in good hands with Jane Coit and Options 153.

 | Warren Valente "I bought my first home last February of 2009. My realtor was Warren Valente with Options 153. I went with Warren because I knew him through friends and I am very happy I did. Not only did I purchase my first home, but I was able to learn more about real estate than I ever imagined. I give this credit to Warren who acted not only as a realtor, but as a teacher. I felt extremely comfortable working with Warren. Whenever I had a question, he had the answer. With his answers always came an explanation so that I could understand exactly what was happening. To me, this is most important when purchasing a home.
Warren was also very accommodating. With my schedule, Warren was able to meet with me at the most convenient times, even if this meant changing his own plans. With a significant purchase such as buying a house, it turned out to be an enjoyable process for me. I take pleasure in having worked with Warren. Not only did I learn a lot and buy a house but, I had fun doing this. I will definitely recommend Warren with Options 153 to my friends and family. Thank you very much!

 | Deb Oldham
"My husband and I offer enthusiastic praise for Debra Oldham. Deb came highly recommended to us in 1993, after we had listed our condo unsuccessfully with another agent. Deb sold our condo in record time, found us a short-term rental property, and then the perfect home. When it was time to sell our home in 2008, we called Deb. She brought us a full-price offer in one weekend, then helped us locate a new home. She made the house-hunting process pleasant by offering suggestions and cautions where needed, respecting our choices, steering us clear of problematic properties, and following up on details. While many realtors can bring buyers and sellers together, what we love about Deb is her continual enthusiasm, patience, practical wisdom, and willingness to go the extra mile for her clients. If we ever move again, Deb will be the 1st person we call!

 | Paula Howland "Buying a house is one of the most significant purchases a family can make and to make matters worse the process is filled with obstacles and surprises. My wife and I hired Paula Howland because knows how to navigate around the obstacles and minimize surprises. But does even more than that Paula Howland puts herself in the buyer's shoes. She sat and took the time understand us, and with her in depth knowledge of the area she was able to find us a house quickly. We will always use Paula because she cares.

 | Kim Walsh "To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to let you know how wonderful our experience was with Kim Walsh. My boyfriend and I decided to purchase a condo in Brighton, MA and immediately thought of Kim as our broker. We contacted her, she got an idea of what we wanted and she set up numerous appointments for us that very next Saturday. I have to tell you that my criteria for a house was near impossible in the city of Brighton too. Nonetheless Kim did an amazing job in finding houses to meet that strict criteria. Every time we met with her she was always smiling, upbeat, friendly, professional and optimistic. She gave us the best advice "You'll know when you find the house you want because you will both love it!" After looking at about twelve condos, we found IT! It was exactly what we wanted and my boyfriend and I fell in love with it on the spot. Kim helped us make an offer that very night we looked at the condo. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the offer/counteroffer of the condo. We ended up purchasing our dream condo for exactly what we wanted! I was impressed with Kim's responsiveness. She would always call us right back and was always on top of it. Our experience with Kim was delightful and I have already recommended Kim to two of my closest friends. I would recommend Kim to anyone.

 | Angela Nolan "As first time home buyers and newlyweds, the process of looking for and purchasing a home appeared overwhelming for me and my husband. We were very fortunate to have found Angela Nolan at Options 153 Real Estate to guide us through this process. She took our needs and what we were looking for into every consideration, ultimately leading us to find the perfect home to start our lives together. She helped make a potentially stressful experience an exciting adventure. We are very grateful to Angela for her knowledge, expertise and guidance through every step of the way.

 | Denise Harrison
"Thank you Denise! Choosing a realtor you can depend on was a big decision for my husband and I, when we were deciding to sell. We've sold 3 houses and had some experiences we would like to forget! You gave us a new respect for having a professional realtor market and sell our house, especially in a depressed market as we had in 2009, there were doubts we could sell without major frustration. You set out, and marketed without hesitation, prepared and organized successfully drawing the crowds that ultimately sold our house. We also appreciate your communication through the sales processes, you took the time to ensure, explain and guide us all the way where other agents we've had in the past didn't.
Thanks Denise!

 | Bill Wilkinson
"We would like to express to you our deep appreciation of the wonderful experience we had with Options 1-5-3, because of Bill Wilkenson. He is a top - notch realtor, very professional and caring. We know he is trustworthy and a person of integrity. He was always available to us during both the sale and purchase of our homes. He took the extra time to explain all the paperwork involved in the sale and negotiations of our house, which seemed to be overwhelming. He had to deal with a very difficult realtor during the sale of our house. He always was calm and respectful in spite of how he was treated. He went well beyond what we expected from a realtor. We have and will recommend Bill and Options 1-5-3. You can be proud to have Bill Wilkenson working on your team!
Thank You!!!

 | Rick Starkweather "My wife and I recently relocated back to the New England area, and we had been in between homes for much of this year. When it came time to purchase we chose Rick Starkweather as our agent because he truly understood our needs as not only customers, but as homeowners, and we felt that we could trust him to partner with us in one of the most important decisions that we will make as a family; buying our new home. Rick proved himself to be reliable, effective, knowledgeable, timely, and trustworthy, and he gave us very sound advise in arriving at our purchase decision. We strongly recommend Rick when it comes time for you to buy and/or sell your home, he is fantastic!

 | Doanne Andresen
"To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to take some time and thank an employee from Options Realty 153 for the excellent service that she provided me. I recently moved to Plymouth with my family for new employment. I have a home for sale in Michigan and needed to find a place to rent here that would be sufficient for my family and my pets. Mrs. Andresen answered all my questions, returned all my calls, some as late as 9:00 p.m. She was able to find a place for my family, and more importantly, a place that allowed me to keep my family pets that have been in our family for many years. Without the help of Mrs. Andresen, it is highly likely that I would have had to part with my family pets. I will continue to use this agent in the future because once my home in Michigan sells, I will be purchasing a home here. Again, thank you Mrs. Andresen for all of your hard work and dedication to finding a rental that worked for my family.
Very Truly Yours, Andrew K."

 | Team Brennan
"As first time buyers we learned that searching for a home is a complicated process. In retrospect, choosing a reliable buyer's agent saved us valuable time and money, and put us into the perfect home for our growing family. Richard & Dianne provided us with a step by step plan beginning with a "needs assessment" and ended with a successful closing. We found everyone at "Options 153" to be professional and fun! TeamBrennan will continue to be our realtors in the future.
