We'll get back to you as soon as possible!
My husband and I are experienced homeowners and sellers; in our 26 years of marriage we have relocated 6 times. With each move, new issues seem to arise especially with the home sale and purchase. This time, our relocation came during the most depressed real estate market we’ve ever experienced. Nonetheless, we had to proceed with selling our home as Dave’s job was taking us from MA to VA. In December 2008, a few days before Christmas, we contacted ERA Realty in Westborough and they sent us Tara Cassery. She arrived the next day with a complete market analysis and samples of her advertising strategies and staging ideas. To top it off, she brought cookies with a picture of our house on them! She was very enthusiastic and had ideas such as a pre-inspection and home warranty that even we had never done before.
We interviewed a few more agents and none could compare to the impression we got of Tara, so naturally we hired her. She worked with us to help us decide on a fair price for our house, we had the pre-inspection, took her staging suggestions, and were waiting for the right time to list our house. We had planned to put our house on the market in March but in February Tara called to tell me that the marketing was picking up and suggested we think about listing earlier. Upon her advice we listed the 2nd week in February and she was right—our house sold in 1 day!
Throughout the process, Tara consistently went above and beyond our expectations to meet our needs and to make sure our house closed successfully. We were in constant communication. She called when there was any information to share and I felt that I could call her anytime and she was readily available to talk. Even though we got an offer before we were officially on the market, she continued with her marketing strategies. She had a video tour done, made beautiful brochures, and created a comprehensive website of our home. When some minor work needed to be done, I didn’t have to worry about it because she met the contractors at our home so we didn't have to. Above all else, she drove over 2 hours one night to pick up the purchase and sale agreement!
She remained in contact with us through the closing and offered her assistance should we need anything. We cannot say enough good things about the professionalism, positive attitude, and energy that Tara possesses. We have recommended her to everyone we know and will continue to do so. Even with our extensive experience in buying and selling real estate, Tara had new ideas and was truly the best real estate agent we have worked with.
Tara recently helped us with the sale of our home in central Massachusetts. Throughout the process she offered excellent advice and support, and responded to all of our questions very quickly. She gave us very good direction on pricing and wonderful recommendations on which updates to our home would be the most appealing and helpful to a buyer, and therefore, which ones to invest in. These suggestions were spot on and we wished we had done them years ago so we could have enjoyed them ourselves. In addition to being a great, experienced and ethical agent, she has a strong eye for design. By the time we had implemented her suggestions, and she had staged the house, it looked so beautiful, we almost didn’t want to sell! You can’t go wrong with choosing Tara as your agent
