Testimonials

Due to unforseen circumstances, had to do a short sale of our home. The entire staff at McGeough Lamacchia Realty was the best company we could have chosen to sell our home. I especially want to thank Katie & Natalie for doing all the leg work for us. I t made our transition to California very easy.

I highly recommend McGeough Lamacchia RE - I was fortunate to have a friend tell me about this team she was working with to sell her unit, but in my case, it was a short sale ... fortunate again that this was the same team's speciality, and I bypassed friends who are realtors for that McGeough Lamacchia expertise. Professional staff from original call to original visit - partnered with a great legal team, it became all in one service delivery. We communicated throughout the process; I was well advised and well represented. And soon after, my unit was sold instead of being foreclosed on - and the individuals I put my trust in, delivered - with confidence. I don't remember every detail of the process, but I remember the name of every person who worked with me, including the Dorner Law team.

-Ken 9-20-2011

Our experience with McGeough Lamacchia was more then I expected. They stated in their ads that they were among the best in handling short sales in most cases. They delivered more quickly then we expected. In all contacts with them and their staff we were treated professionally and answered every question in a timely manner. Generally, in most cases, dealing with business and customer service reps is an unpleasant experience! This was a surprise! We would reccommend this firm highly to anyone.

-George and Debra 9-20-2011

If you're reading this, then no doubt you're thinking about short-selling your home. And trust me, that's not an easy decision. ML Realty understands that. If you want the best result then you need to hire the best team. ML Realty is the best team. Do yourself a favor and hire them. Right now. You will not be disappointed.

I wanted to take a moment to share how deeply grateful I am for the team at McGeough Lamacchia and Dorner Law and all they did to make the sale of my house in Beverly happen. I had given up any hope of being able work anything out with Flagstar after a year of nothing but frustration and tears while trying to do everything they requested but getting nowhere. It was just by chance that I heard what they had done for a friend so I decided I had nothing else to lose and gave them a call. Right from the very first phone call, I started to regain some hope of being able to do a short sale on the home and salvage what is left of my credit. Everyone I worked with during this process was wonderful. It was such an amazing experience having so many people that were on my side, pushing to make sure this sale went through. Everytime I called with a question or sent an email, I always received a fast response and they always helped to put my frazzled nerves at ease. They have such an extraordinary staff, I hate to leave anyone out because EVERYONE was great, but I am so grateful to Anthony Lamacchia, Alex Montalto and Dave Karoly for getting this approved through Flagstar, no easy task, but Alex always kept me informed and calmed my fears when time was running out. Just when I thought we were all done fighting with banks, there was the ridiculous list of demands from our buyers bank, but June Schaufus was right there with me, helping me through the process and always keeping me updated. I would get emails from her at 9pm with updates or requests from the bank. She was truly dedicated to helping get this sale through. Angela Walker was also wonderful in answering every question I had about the process and very understanding about my worries but set me at ease each time. Now that this is all over, I feel like I can breathe again. I have finally moved on with my life and have started planning for my future. It felt like the end to this ordeal would never come, but thanks to McGeough Lamacchia it finally has. I will be forever grateful to them for this.

-Katie 9-15-2011

McGeough and Lamacchia really got me out of a bind with the short sale of my condo in May of 2009. Anthony really explained the process and what we should expect. My wife and I we're relieved that someone could finally help us get our lives back on track.

The thought of putting your house up for sale can make your head spin when you think about all that's involved with selling. Uncertain of the housing market and what's truly involved in selling our home were some things that we began to wonder about. It seemed like a daunting task. What do we have to do to get the house ready to show? How do I find the right people to work on issues that need to be fixed before showing the house? What do I do with all of this "stuff" I no longer want or need? And the all-important question; what is my house worth?

Enter John and Anthony; honest, direct and very talented. It was as easy as calling them and asking them for an interview. They came to the house, walked through it with us and made suggestions about what we could do to highlight the best features of the house, as well as things that needed to be addressed; like painting the fence. Not only were they able to point out issues, they were prepared with a list of contractors to address any size job. The people that they recommended were fantastic; professional, courteous, on time and on budget. It became clear very early on that these guys know what they're doing and associate themselves with top quality contractors. We took their advice, made the improvements and then got out of their way to let them do their job - sell our house!

We spoke to other real estate agents and gave them the same interview opportunity. What amazed us themost was the primary focus to list our property on the internet; an MLS page of home facts and a few pictures. It certainly is a great way to reach a lot of people, but it's not the only way. We felt as though other agents were too reliant on the internet alone and were missing potential opportunities and a personal touch. John and Anthony used the internet, but they also used local and city papers, direct mailings, and TV. The service that we got from the office was also tremendous. Sarah would send us reports each week that showed how many times our property was viewed online, reported who went to the house and when, as well as provided valuable feedback from viewers. Sarah became our point person at the office and whenever anything needed to be done, she would make sure it happened.

Seventeen days after signing with them we were entertaining two offers. John and Anthony were in contact with us through the entire negotiation process - which took hours, not days. Once we agreed on the final offer, Sarah set up all of the meter reading and fire marshal appointments that were required for us. It's true, my head was spinning! But not from being overwhelmed, it was spinning from amazement on how quickly and efficiently the process went. "Start Packing" was no longer the McGeough Lamacchia Team Realty Executives tag-line for us; it was what we had to do now that they had done everything else! Don't you know, they recommended people to help us pack and move us to our new home.

Selling your home doesn't have to be an overwhelming endeavor, especially when you're in capable hands. Iwhole-heartedly stand behind the folks at McGeough Lamacchia Team Realty Executives and have referredthem to several friends and co-workers. If I had to sum up our experience in a few words, I would say that the McGeough Lamacchia Team provided us with commitment, experience, professionalism and innovation.

Thank you to John, Anthony and Sarah for all that you've done for us. The next time we need a real estateagent, we're coming back to you! -Andrew Marley & Lawrence Beck

"My husband and I have worked with the McGeough Lamacchia Team twice now. They were the realtors on the sellers side for a condo we purchased a few years back. We found them to be extremely professional and honest to work with in that transaction and due to the positive experience we had with them we not only decided to buy from them again, when purchasing our most recent property, but also asked them to be the listing broker for our condo.

John and Anthony are both smart individuals who bring a strong knowledge of the real estate market to the table. This knowledge is invaluable when trying to understand the trends and decide the listing price of your property. In addition to this knowledge, John and Anthony bring a personal element to the relationship that makes you comfortable working with them and confident that they do not just see you as their next commission but genuinely care about putting together the right sale for you." -Amy Panza and Jason Anker

"I was helping my mom sell her house while in California. Her house had been on the market for 2 years with 2 other realtors, and I was a bit worried being so far away. But the McGeough LamacchiaTeam made the transaction very smooth. Anthony and John went to bat for us and smoothed out all the potential wrinkles along the way- everything from getting a contractor in to make some small repairs to defending our interests throughout the sale process. Between their marketing strategy, spot on pricing,completely reliable, pleasant and efficient support tem, and Anthony and John's persistence, the process was enjoyable and financially rewarding as anyone could hope. And given that I was living in California the whole time, I have to give the team very high marks for their work! After this whole process I have an even greater appreciation for your straight forward, "my job isnot to tell you what you want to hear, my job is to tell you what your house will actually sell for," approach tohome selling. "Bottom line, what I most wanted to hear from my agents was a price that what would ACTUALLY get me a sold sign in front of my house and to the close of escrow." - Jessica Chastek

"The McGeough Lamacchia Team's TV ad got my attention. Your prompt response, frank answers to my questions, marketing plan, follow up, pricing, bi weekly feedback, and scheduling were all factors/services that you employed. I was very, very impressed by your real estate savvy! My house was under agreement 2 ½ weeks after it went on the market!! And within 2 months we were living in our new home!!! This was a very tough market and any body can sell a home in a good market, but it takes very good agents to sell a home in a tough market! Thank you!" -Theresa Bickford

They can get the job done if you are serious about selling!" - Harry Gonsalves

"My house was on the market for 4 months with not much activity. I decided to call the McGeough Lamacchia Team after seeing their advertisement on TV. They came to my house and provided me with a realistic evaluation of the selling price based on the market and competition. They provided me with great communication throughout the entire process and sold my home in 24 days!!!" -Marty Kovick

"I couldn't let another day go by without letting you know how wonderful my house selling experience was...due, entirely, to the efforts of you and your team. You have found the secret for delivering the best service and support to your customers...the weekly updates, the voicemails, the phone calls, the access to the workers needed to bring my house to "par", the recommendations...each interaction felt as though I was part of a team...that I wasn't in it alone. For all of those reasons, I know that I definitely made the right decision to put the sale of my house in your hands. Please know that I will gladly recommend you and your team to anyone who is in the house buying/selling mode. You are GREAT!" -Priscilla DiLuzio

I see a successful future for the McGeough Lamacchia Team." - Dianne Belliveau

"I want to thank Anthony and John for making the sale and purchase of my homes so successful and go so smoothly. The sale of my house was a quick one that involved separating the feelings from the facts. Never having purchased a home, I needed to rely totally on Anthony and John's expertise. I believe that all proceedings went very smoothly because of their team's attention to detail and desire to be successful. So thank you Anthony and John for selling my house, helping me buy my new house, baskets of chocolate and most of all making me laugh when I was super stressed. I hope you succeed in all you do. -Patti Nash

"When things get tough, I put things in God's hands. And he put me in your hands, so you must be good! Truly, John, Anthony and Sarah- I felt very special, important and cared for during this entire process. Your expertise, professionalism, and personal touch were first class. Through trying time, you handled my situation with much compassion and genuine concern. Your efficiency and communication could not have been better.
