"LIVIA IS THE BEST! My husband and I have sold and purchased several homes in our lives but no realtor has ever worked as hard as Livia to find the perfect home for us. When we were considering purchasing a home on the Cape several years ago, we found Livia. We've now sold that home and purchased another with Livia's help and guidance. She is with you ALL THE WAY! She doesn't push you to buy what doesn't fit your needs. She is honest, hard working and incredibly reliable. With Livia, we don't purchase a house. We purchase a home. I highly highly recommend Livia for your next buying or selling opportunity!""

"James is an awesome realtor -- I highly recommend him! He knows the market well, he listened and responded to our likes and dislikes, and always had in mind the criteria we were aiming for within our price range. When he showed us houses, his knowledge of issues with homes specific to Cape Cod was excellent, as is his keen eye regarding floors, walls, foundation, plumbing, electric, landscaping -- what could be changed and how, etc. We ended up buying a house, and the deal wasn't easy due to issues beyond his control (financing process); he negotiated well in challenging situations, and consistently responded promptly and a great personality to boot. His knowledge, kindness, and humor won't be forgotten by us!" "

"Sarah DaSilva is a complete package! As a retired professional in human resources, I very much appreciated the services she provided our family in buying a home. Her knowledge, integrity, professionalism, care, contacts, congeniality and enthusiasm to do whatever it took to make our experience a pleasant one were exceptional. From search (including Sarah visiting and checking out homes for us since we were out of state) to closing, she quickly gained our confidence and became a friend—a friendship that continues after the purchase of our home. Sarah enjoys an excellent reputation in the community, and the institutions and agencies who worked with her on our behalf echoed this sentiment. For these reasons and more, our family highly recommends Sarah!"

"Fabulous person. Fabulous agent. Before most of us press the snooze button, this woman has led a spin class and emailed you all the new houses available, with a heartfelt, upbeat note. This drive and hard work make her a champ at finding that exact house. I looked for a home on and off for a year, all the way from Brooklyn. She was always sending me new possibilities and taking my search seriously. She is kind-hearted and *also a killer at her job. If you become her client, you will feel like number one, no matter what your search consists of. She’s just the best at what she does. And, of course, she found me the exact perfect house."

"Vanessa worked tirelessly to help us find our secondary vacation home during a few days while we were on vacation. She spent months working for us while we were miles away making sure we had all the necessary representation to get the deal done. Vanessa is very personable, professional and took care of all the details. She listened and heard us then showed us exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Vanessa"

"I have never written a review, but decided this is one time I'll try it.. Reason being: I felt the sale of my house wasn't going to be an easy one due to age, septic & yard issues, but Melissa approached it with a high level of positivity, knew the market very well, set a price I didn't feel she'd get & gave me great advice on what tips & tricks would help move it & she proved to be spot on. She secured a buyer a few days after listing it for the full price & remained proactive, assisting in many little ways. Her response to every little question and/or concern was almost immediate which helped keep the momentum going till the closing. What more can I say except I'm relieved & happy she knew what she was doing from beginning to end!! "
