"We worked with Binni & Char both to sell our house and to buy a new one.
The whole experience was delightful. They helped us every step of the way
and made, an otherwise stressful time, expansive and filled with
possibility.
Our new house is perfect. We could not have had a better real estate
experience!! Everything about our move was complicated and every step of
the way Binni and Char made it happen with grace and humor and ease. " Buyer/Seller Clients | Beverly, MA
"Having never sold a home, preparing to sell ours after 49 years was
initially daunting. Naively, I expected I would have to figure out the ins
and outs alone, but this was far from the case when I found the Hackett &
Glessner team. Their vast experience and knowledge aside, Binni and Chars
Kindness and perspicacity enabled me to glide even while doing my own due
diligence. My family and I could not be more grateful to have worked with
a more delightful and seriously dedicated team!" Laura | Essex, MA
"We are so thankful for Hackett & Glessner team’s professionalism, care and
attention in selling our home. From our first meeting to today we have
trusted that they know best. We deeply respect their knowledge of the
market and especially antique homes ... thanks for making it as painless as
possible." Cathleen | Ipswich, MA
"Selling a home is stressful for anyone, but perhaps most especially for
those with messy and busy teenagers. When you have a realtor who comes in
before an open house or showing, puts your dog in her car, and kicks the
dirty clothes on the floor out of sight, it’s a godsend! Hackett & Glessner
team is fun, calming and professional. They’re incredibly personable and
authentic and relate really well to all my kinds of buyers. God help me if
I ever have to sell my house, but if I did, Hackett & Glessner team would
get the call again! " Susan M. | Hamilton, MA
"Hackett & Glessner was the perfect realtor for us. They have allowed us our
quirks and guided us when we needed to do things the right way. Good humor
and endless patience run high in my world so they are at the top of the
charts. Thank you for everything. It was a whirlwind but it couldn’t have
gone better." Sam & Lisa | Wenham, MA
"Hackett & Glessner team possesses a thorough knowledge of the real estate
market and very effectively represents both buyers and sellers. They can
really manage almost any situation while remaining calm under pressure.
They have a positive easy-going manner, which also makes them a joy to work
with." Carl | Ipswich, MA
Char and Binni’s friendship began in 1989 when Binni moved to Ipswich, and Char, then just seven years old, wandered over to meet her new neighbors. What started as a simple introduction blossomed into a deep and lasting connection. "Watching Char grow into the incredible person she is has been a privilege," says Binni. "Her natural qualities are invaluable in real estate, and when she approached me about working together, I knew we had something special."
