PAST SALES
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Emily was an amazing real estate agent. She was super supportive throughout my first home buying experience and was very knowledge about the area. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
— Christine C.
“Emily was great. We looked at several places in East Boston and it was clear she knew the area well. I saw a place I really liked and she was able to get my family in to see it early the next morning before I put in an offer. With her advice, we beat out a competing offer while still coming in a good deal less than what the property appraised for. After the offer was accepted, she guided me through the rest of the process while promptly answering all the questions I had. As a first time homebuyer, I am amazed how smooth Emily made the experience. I took her recommendations for a home inspector, and lawyer, and they were also a pleasure to work with. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone I know looking for a realtor.”
— L. Lamontagne
“Emily was fantastic throughout my entire journey of buying a home. I was lucky enough to be paired up with her and the Carlisle Group and she couldn't have made the process easier. From explaining the process start to finish, answering all my questions, and helping to secure the purchase of my first home - I would recommend Emily and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell. Emily was kind, thoughtful, and fun - she made sure I was able to see any place I wanted to with extremely quick turnaround times, I never had to worry about missing out on a property. I will be using Emily and the Carlisle Group for all future real estate needs. Thank you for everything!”
