“My wife and I have known Lorrie and Gerry for many years now, and they have led us through several real-estate transactions, including simultaneously selling and purchasing condo properties. In all cases, they have guided us through all stages, from looking for prospective buyers to searching for the kind of properties we were interested in, and from navigating trade negotiations to guiding us throughout the legal process, with all the steps in between. Lorrie and Gerry provided the kind of guidance and expertise that made the selling and purchasing experiences both smooth and reassuring, and they did so with a mixture of shrewd professionalism and comforting conviviality. Furthermore, Lorrie and Gerry have and still help us manage rental properties with reliable follow through — anything from looking for and screening renters, supplying references for repair and maintenance, and providing valuable suggestions and feedback when problems arise. We’ve come to depend greatly on both of them and, therefore, highly recommend their services to anyone.”

“Working with Lorrie and Gerry from ePlace has helped me a great deal in the past three years regarding renting my units. They listen to and identify precisely what their clients are looking for. In my case, they introduced me exclusively to tenants who specifically sought the type of units which I could offer in terms of price range, quality and amenities In other words, they were able to match the right product (units) with the right buyer (tenants) – fulfilling both parties’ expectations successfully. Unlike other purchases, real estate transactions are very complicated and thus very stressful. One can be easily misled in terms of the financial capabilities of prospective tenants or in other practical logistics. Lorrie and Gerry alleviate the stress and complexity of it all by listening to and understanding their clients and their needs. Another comforting aspect while working with them in the past few years is their unparalleled availability for their clients; I recall at one point that they had responded to my e-mails while being on vacation, reflecting their dedication and commitment to me.
Upon my request, Lorrie and Gerry with their vast network/resources in the industry, have introduced me to various vendors and contractors, revealing their incredible resourcefulness. I felt I no longer needed my membership with Angie’s List! All in all, both Lorrie and Gerry are trust worthy, great listeners, and are reliable realtors. I do not hesitate to highly recommend them!”

“Several years ago, when my wife and I were looking for our first home we met Lorrie and her husband Gerry at an open house that they were hosting. As it turned out the house was not what we were looking for, but we did chat for a while with Lorrie and Gerry. We were impressed with their knowledge of the real estate market, their personable demeanors and their genuine interest in trying to help us understand the process. I kept her business card and the following spring I called her up and asked whether she would help us find a home. We looked at dozens of places together in many different neighborhoods. Every weekend Lorrie took us on a trip to look at new opportunities. While the process was a long one, it certainly was interesting and informative. Lorrie was always on top of what was available and always had suggestions for us. She definitely knows what to look for when evaluating potential places, both from the standpoint of structure and condition; and also from other practical points such as location, cost, resale potential etc. I can honestly say that we felt like we were taken care of.
As it turns out, Lorrie did find a place in Cambridge that met all our criteria. She gave me an early heads-up and I was able to be the first one to see the place. She helped me negotiate a quick strategic offer that was accepted and a few months later we moved in. Since then we’ve done some renovations, moved to a new location, and are currently renting the condo. Lorrie and Gerry were instrumental in helping with references for carpentry, plumbing, and repairs and were also able to help us get the place rented. I can’t count the number of times Lorrie has gone well out of her way to help us. I remain extremely appreciative! I recommend Lorrie and Gerry to anyone looking for a broker that has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the boston area market. You’ll also get a team that is personable, professional and willing to go the extra mile to help satisfy your needs.”

My wife and I began working with Gerry and Lorrie last year after getting a referral from a friend. They helped us find an excellent investment/rental property and helped find tenants to fill the vacant apartment. They have been a real asset and have provided us with great advice and help along the way. We have referred Gerry & Lorrie to family & friends and everyone has been more than satisfied.
