"I first learned of Lisa's skills as a real
estate agent when I purchased a condo in
Rebecca Hanovice, LinkedIn
"Lisa engenders immediate trust, with a strong knowledge of the real estate market, great ideas for how to prepare for a sale, and an infinite network of connections to help you get the job done. In a tough market, Lisa helped me make a quick sale and held my hand every step of the way. She was invaluable."
Scott Pomfret, LinkedIn
"It was a pleasure working with you and Nancy. Mike and I always felt like we were in very good hands. If you ever need a reference, feel free to send anyone our way. It was a pleasure. Best wishes and hope to run into you sometime in the near future!"
Doreen and Mike, Cambridge
"Selling two properties in three weeks in the nation's worst real estate market in 25 years should induce Ben Bernanke, the Fed chief, and Hank Paulson, Treasury Secretary, to solicit your advice as to how to function splendidly amidst the nation's economic ruins."
Nancy Spicer's Dad, Cambridge
"Nancy was patient, did not apply any pressure, understood my needs, and acted in my best interests."
Sanjay Ram, M.D., Boston Medical Center
"We have worked with True Home Partners to buy and sell properties and they have exceeded our expectations in every way. As first time buyers we were unclear about the process and they took the time to explain everything to us so we knew what to expect throughout the process and when. When we wanted to sell our condo and buy a new home they were the natural choice. They explained the selling process to us equally well and helped us price our condo perfectly so we sold it quickly at a price we were very happy with. Their attention to our needs, knowledge of the buying and selling processes and the local real estate market are unmatached and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area."
Jamie and Josh, Arlington
"Debbie, your social work background makes for great people skills! There's more to helping a first-time buyer navigate the ins and outs of the real-estate world than just knowing your facts and figures. Which by the way, you knew very well! In addition to your smart business sense, professionalism, and responsiveness, you possess amazing positive energy, enthusiasm, warmth, and a real caring for your clients that builds the foundation of a good working relationship (and friendship!). You really listened to what I needed and wanted, and responded to every question, need, and insecurity of a first-time buyer. Most importantly, you helped me turn real estate...into home sweet home."
Lin-Ann Ching, Cambridge
"Things were a bit hectic with new jobs, a new city and a baby on the way, so we were not looking forward to a home search. But Debbie’s energy and enthusiasm made our house search fun, and easy. She only showed us homes that we could afford as well as fit the needs of our growing family. She and Lisa helped us with the whole process up until the day we moved in. It was a big help to have someone deal with the lawyers, agents, etc. since I had just delivered a baby boy! We hope to remain friends with both of them for a long time."
Achint and Vaishali, Cambridge
"Nancy was a knowledgeable, friendly, professional and delightful partner in my effort to find a new home here in Cambridge. As a person not well-versed in the culture of home-buying, she was a patient and thorough educator. Nancy always treated me with respect and grace, despite the fact that I was probably not her most wealthy client. Without any reservations, I highly recommend that you consider working with Nancy in searching for your new home."
Murat Recevik, Harvard University
"Well, I was quite impressed with our intial meeting, you were thorough, thoughtful, and appeared to really listen to what Caroline and I were interested in. You laid out the process and described how we'd be working together. Also, you have been very professional: doing what you said you'd do and keeping track of time when we went out. All these things set you apart from the other agents I interviewed."
Aaron, Cambridge
"I recently purchased my first home and I can't imagine having done so without Debbie's help. Her knowledge, patience, energy and dedication were invaluable throughout the entire process. Every step of the way she went far above and beyond to make sure my experience was a good one. She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and worked tirelessly to find it. When it came time to put in an offer she was a fierce advocate and her assistance in coordinating events through the closing was amazing. I've since recommended Debbie to friends and they have had equally fantastic experiences. I can't thank her enough."
Matt, Somerville
"Without Debbie we would not have found our condominium. Debbie really heard and understood our priorities and helped us to understand the Cambridge neighborhoods and real estate market. She was able to consult with a wider range of real estate professionals and to provide us with resources that enabled us to close and to relocate in a timely manner. Finding a new home was only part of the service; connecting us with those resources made it happen!"
Anne, Cambridge
"Days before my wife and I started working with Debbie, our dream deal had collapsed. We had been working with another agent for several months, found a great place in the perfect neighborhood, agreed a price, and were less than a week from closing when it all fell apart. We were homeless, furious at the way it all went down, and thoroughly deflated.
Then we met Debbie. The first thing that struck us about her was her enthusiasm and positivity. We could tell throughout the process that she believed our house really was out there somewhere -- that we weren't asking for the impossible. She also knew the Cambridge/Somerville/Arlington area thoroughly. In the two months we worked with her, we made two offers on two homes and were outbid both times by folks with thicker wallets. Our favorite came back on the market, and I'm sitting in it now. We had a slice of luck, but it was Debbie's skill and persistence that ultimately got us our house.
I can't say enough good things about Debbie. She is responsive, highly competent, and most importantly a truly ethical professional. Working with her was a treat, and we hope to keep in touch as friends."
Ned, Cambridge
“Debbie – It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on my search for a condo. I really appreciated how thorough you were with the process from beginning to end. You were great about only showing me places that were within my price range and had the things I was looking for. All your recommendations from an inspector to the closing lawyer were fantastic. I thought they were all as easy and nice to work with as you. It made an enormous difference to know that I could completely trust and rely on your instincts and judgment. Thank you for your endless patience, good cheer and fabulous sense of humor, which made home hunting a delightful time.”
Carol, Arlington
"Debbie, We can’t thank you enough for helping us find our new house. We were living in Providence, RI and looking to relocate to Somerville, Cambridge area. We didn’t have time to waste looking around at properties that didn’t fit. You previewed properties before we wasted our time on houses that didn’t fit our needs, even getting us in before open houses, and even stayed up until all hours talking us through offers and options. Having bought and sold a condominium before this and knowing how difficult it could be, you really made the process so much easier, taking care of all the details right through to the closing."
Erika & Max, Somerville
"Debbie, it was a pleasure working with you to buy my first home. Your energy, patience, and good cheer made house-hunting fun. You helped me understand what I needed versus what I wanted, and you patiently showed me condo after condo until we found the right place. Once I went from “looker” to “buyer” you took the time to answer my many questions, and helped me buy a place I’m truly happy to come home to every night. Thanks!"
Sarah, Somerville
"You're so welcome, Debbie! I bring you up every time I hear someone looking to buy in Cambridge/Somerville. Good luck, and hopefully I'll see you soon!"
David H., Cambridge
"Debbie, our work together was great! We rave about you to our friends. You never showed us anything we couldn't afford. You understood what we liked (which saved us time) and steered us away from that place on Kinnaird even though a sale was possible (thank heavens!). If only all professionals were so professional..."
Maitreyi, Cambridge
"Debbie is everything you want in a buyer's agent. As first time home buyers, Debbie was supportive during the highs and lows of the buying process and walked us through step by step. Debbie is well-connected in the Cambridge scene so we were able to get timely access to new properties on the market and we benefited from her innate understanding of Cambridge house values. To top it off, Debbie was a great asset during the final negotiations. We have our dream house in large part due to Debbie's hard work and perseverance."
Grant and Sarah, Cambridge
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Nancy. She was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. She made the whole process downright enjoyable!"
Judy Coppola, State Street Bank
"Lisa and Nancy were the best - highly enthusiastic, yet honest about the things I needed to fix, and very helpful. I sold my place in record time and got more than I ever thought possible. This task that I dreaded was actually fun!"
Charlotte, Cambridge
“I hired Alison and Lisa to sell my multifamily investment property in a very difficult market in 2009. I cannot begin to say how happy I am that I chose them over other agents I interviewed. Their positive attitude, fantastic marketing plan as well as their "team" concept made me feel comfortable from the beginning. Throughout the process they both constantly kept me advised of the activity and kept my property fresh in the minds of the greater realtor community through various marketing events. The property closed at almost the exact price they initially told me they thought it would sell. I highly recommend Alison and Lisa to any potential buyer or seller as they are both true professionals.”
