Romy Baron-Cohen was a pleasure to work with as our father made the difficult decision to sell his home of over 50 years. She kept us informed throughout the process, answered our questions, advised us (as we had not sold a home in more than 50 years), and helped to make us all comfortable.We appreciate the knowledge and support that Romy shared throughout the process which ultimately went very smoothly!

"Romy is a one of a kind real estate agent. I am out of words as to the level of services I received - a true professional who goes over and beyond for her client. She was not afraid to make calls on my behalf to town, contractors or whoever so that I can make an informed decision with peace in mind. I never realized a real estate agent's expertise/knowledge/experience can make such an impact in purchasing a property. She thought of so many things check that I would have never thought ask on a house. She was there every step of the way in a very short transaction (3 weeks) with so many moving parts. She is a true gem in the Real Estate industry. I will never forget the experience and her as my agent who became my friend.

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Romy Baron-Cohen not once, but twice—first to sell my home and then, a year later, to buy a new one. Throughout both processes, Romy proved to be an extraordinary realtor and a steadfast support system during an incredibly stressful time in my life.
From the very beginning, Romy showcased an exceptional level of professionalism and dedication. When selling my home, she provided expert guidance on staging and pricing, ensuring that my property stood out in a competitive market. Her strategic marketing approach and excellent negotiation skills resulted in a swift and successful sale, far exceeding my expectations.
A year later, when it was time to find a new home, Romy once again went above and beyond. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, tirelessly searching for properties that met my criteria. Her patience and attention to detail were truly remarkable. Romy’s extensive knowledge of the market and her insightful advice were invaluable in helping me make informed decisions.
What truly sets Romy apart is her unwavering support and genuine care for her clients. During what was undoubtedly one of the most stressful periods of my life, Romy provided not only professional expertise but also emotional support. She was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and offer reassurance when needed. Her positivity and calm demeanor made all the difference, turning a potentially overwhelming experience into a manageable and even enjoyable one.
Romy Baron-Cohen is more than just a realtor; she is a dedicated partner who genuinely cares about her clients’ well-being and success. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding service and support. If you are looking for a realtor who is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend Romy Baron-Cohen. She is truly the best in the business.

" I feel super emotional thinking back on past 47 days. Not an idea, not a budget, really not even sure if we were ready to buy again. Sometimes you need a little push in the right direction. Romy is EXCELLENT at what she does; she’s knowledgeable, empathic, has great connections to make the deal happen and she was a stranger who later turned into a friend. 3 years ago she helped us buy our first home. A townhome in an area we barely knew, and have now come to love. So much so that we restricted our search to that area. Needless to say that made our search extremely limited and competitive. Romy connected us with an excellent lawyer and lender and steered the ship from beginning to end. Thank for your hard work, Romy! Even when tensions ran high and there seemed liked there was no way to get to the finish line - Romy made it happen. She’s the best!
