Fantastic experience: From the very first meeting with Elizabeth, we knew that she was going to do a great job. Organized, professional, and proactive, Elizabeth was our dream realtor. She is so knowledgable about the New England real estate market, and she took the time to educate us on everything that we should be looking out for as first time home buyers. Whenever we had questions, she went above and beyond to answer them completely. As someone who initially felt overwhelmed by the home buying process, Elizabeth put me at ease knowing that I had someone on my team who was going to go the extra mile and then some at every step of the process.

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is an exceptional agent and sets a high bar for the profession. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and never pressures you to make decisions. She is absolutely someone you want on your side and I cannot recommend her enough. Aside from her and her team’s prowess at supporting you through the home buying process, Elizabeth is also just a very kind and down to earth person. She truly cares about her clients and their happiness. I have worked with her a few times now and my opinion never changes. Elizabeth is the best!!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is an amazing realtor. She is very knowledgeable and absolutely great at what she does. My husband and I worked with Elizabeth to buy our first home several years ago, and she was great. She really understood what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home for us. Recently moved out of the state and decided to sell our house, and she was the realtor we called because we knew she would do a great job. Being out of state and preparing the house was difficult, but she worked with us every step of the way and went above and beyond our expectation to help us get it done. We would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a realtor. She is the best!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is amazing. She's super knowledgeable about the area and very able to accommodate individuals and families with all manner of need, and was our agent for both buying and selling our home.

Sarah Mills Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is an amazing realtor! My spouse and I worked with her when buying our first home and she could not have been more helpful. She was super responsive and patient with our questions (and as first-time buyers, we had a lot!). Her knowledge of the housing market and the neighborhoods where we wanted to live was invaluable to us as well. She was such a reassuring, steady presence, and always had a solution for any curve ball that came our way. In the end, the process was so much smoother than we had imagined it would be, and it really was thanks to Elizabeth’s professionalism and experience. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the greater Boston area, especially if they’re a first time buyer!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is so good. As first time home buyers, she guided us through every step from showings to closing and was always quick to answer our many, many questions. The whole process was so smooth and by the end, she felt more like a close friend than our agent. Not only was super friendly and easy to work with, she was also firm and decisive when she/we needed to be. We would highly recommend her.

Jurgen Sanes Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is an excellent realtor to hire, especially for first-time homebuyers. From the very beginning of our house search to even after closing, she was always willing to lend a hand. She’s incredibly patient, personable, and supportive, truly understanding what it's like to navigate this process for the first time.She listened to us and understood our needs, which made us feel like we were a team working toward a shared goal. There were many instances where Elizabeth went above and beyond. For example, during the final walkthrough, she took the initiative to check the water and heat, made quick inquiries to the seller's agent, and kept us informed immediately whenever there were changes to the contract and agreements. What's more, her market analysis was spot on, and we never felt pressured to do anything we weren't comfortable with. She also connected us with a spectacular inspector who took the time to teach us about the house, which was invaluable. Elizabeth is also very reasonable and knowledgeable. She made our home-buying journey smooth. There were no delays in her responses, even when she was on vacation. Her timely communication is superb, and honestly, we don't know how she manages it. Her team at Commonwealth Realty also gave us important dates and reminders, which was a huge help. She was recommended by our lender, and we can now see exactly why. We highly recommend Elizabeth, and if we ever do this again, we know who to call. Thank you, Elizabeth. Now we are settled in our home thanks to Elizabeth.

Amanda Davis Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, Elizabeth is the one. My family relocated from Ohio to Massachusetts and needed someone we could rely on remotely, and she made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Elizabeth guided us every step of the way. She conducted countless virtual tours, describing each home so thoroughly it felt like we were there in person. She connected us with the right people for financing, inspections, and even contractors to paint our home before move-in. Her professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge gave us confidence throughout the process. She was always prepared, proactive, and quick to handle any situation that came up. Thanks to her, we were able to close on our home on time without a hitch. Elizabeth is the reason we were able to make this transition successfully, and we are so thankful we found her. Without a doubt, she will be our go-to realtor in Massachusetts for any future needs, and we will happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted partner in their home search.

Fantastic experience: I was preparing to sell my condo and, after meeting with a couple of brokers, I felt discouraged. Hoping to find someone who understood the market and my needs, I turned to Google and searched for “the best condominium real estate brokers west of Boston, MA.” That is when I found Elizabeth Bain. Her reviews were heartfelt and sincere, and they gave me the strong impression that she genuinely cares about her clients. From our very first meeting, Elizabeth was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She laid out a clear, strategic plan to market my condo and followed through on every detail, making the process feel completely seamless. My condo sold quickly - thanks entirely to her smart, tireless efforts. Elizabeth is a rare gem. Whether you are buying, selling, or renting, you would be lucky to have her in your corner. Lisa G.

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is the best realtor! My wife and I had relied on her to find us an apartment years ago, and this time around she helped us find our dream home in only a few weeks! As first-time home buyers, she walked us through everything and made sure we always knew what to look for, including asking questions to sellers' agents we hadn't thought of. She was always completely prepared and never missed a beat after dozens of open houses each weekend. Throughout all the tours, she stayed enthusiastic and helpful. She helped us understand what we wanted in a home and was diligent about scheduling open houses efficiently. We ended up making offers on two homes and successfully purchased the second one. We could not have done that without her, especially with how competitive the market is in MA. With her spot-on market analysis, strategic offers, and her connections with other realtors, our offer was at the top of the list in both cases. On top of all that, she helped us find a good mortgage lender and inspector, and even connected us with movers. It was like having a team of professionals helping us find a home. Elizabeth made what is normally a stressful and daunting experience enjoyable. We always felt like she had our best interests at heart, so we felt confident taking her advice. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She's the real deal.

Dorothy Carvalho Lima Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started to work with Elizabeth on the early winter of 2024, as a first time home buyer it was such a relief to work with someone so knowledgeable and experienced with the complexities of purchasing a home. She has been always quick in her feet, always finding solutions for any issues that I had to face in the purchase process ( and believe me those come!) Working with Elizabeth was pretty easy: she was punctual, always pleasant, very resourceful and always willing to go the extra mile by making suggestions or looking for solutions. She made it much easier to navigate this process which can be very challenging. Kudos for all you do Elizabeth!

Tom George Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Elizabeth was fantastic. Our search took over a year, and Elizabeth was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. We looked in about 20 different towns in the Boston area and Western Mass, and Elizabeth was knowledgeable about all the markets we looked in. Also, she really understands issues with houses and gives honest and realistic assessments of the repairs/costs of sorting them out. When we finally found something and closed, she walked us through the whole process and made it clear and simple. We highly recommend her! Looking forward to working with her again when we sell our current place and look for our next one.

Rebecca DeGrace Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth to help us find our first home. She came as a recommendation from a colleague, and that recommendation did not disappoint! Elizabeth was always very prompt in her responses and was able to give us a heads up and alternate contacts if she wouldn't be able to get back to us quickly. As first time home buyers, we didn't know a lot and the process was very daunting, even after completing a course. However, Elizabeth helped us through the process every step of the way, answering questions we didn't even know we had. She provided us with excellent connections to create an incredibly strong home buying team (special shout out to her partner, Nick!). We never once felt pressured to make any moves - in fact, there were several times when Elizabeth reminded us that we shouldn't put pressure on ourselves to make decisions that we were unsure about. She cared about us as clients and as people. She was able to expertly negotiate our offers and explained her recommendations and why she recommended something to help us understand the process. We highly, highly recommend working with Elizabeth if you are looking for your first, next, or last home. You will not be disappointed with the support and results you receive.

Paul Davenport Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was the perfect realtor and I would not hesitate to use her again! She made the process of buying a home manageable and was flawless in everything she did in the process.

Michael Esber Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was an excellent agent to work with as a first time buyer. I met Elizabeth at a showing and found her easy to communicate with and felt I could trust her advice. She always responded promptly with helpful insights and suggestions. I never felt pressured to make a decision. She identified numerous options based on my preference and made herself available for tours. When I made a decision, the entire team at Commonwealth Reality were organized and made the process feel easy. They went out of their way to make my purchase one to remember.

Carolyn Chambers Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process, but Elizabeth made everything so easy and stress-free! She guided us through every step, ensuring we understood what was needed and what to look out for. Her expert advice helped us craft a strong and appealing offer, and she was always quick to respond to our questions. Thanks to her, negotiations went smoothly, and we felt confident in every decision we made. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated realtor, we highly recommend Elizabeth! She truly went above and beyond to help us find our dream home!

Chris Chedrawi Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was a great partner in the home buying process, her depth of knowledge when we had questions was invaluable. We knew that our deal would be more complicated than most in that we were looking to sell our current condo and then buy a new one. Elizabeth was able to secure us a deal where our buying was contingent on our sale and had an occupancy agreement so we didn't have to move twice. This made the whole process way less stressful and really got us exactly what we needed. Elizabeth was always there to answer questions and deliver us news when we needed it. We would highly suggest folks work with Elizabeth if you want someone on your side who can negotiate and keep everything on track no matter how complicated your home buying needs are.

Alec Saranovitz Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: To start, Elizabeth helped us four years ago in search for a new condo which went flawless in a very hot market. Due to our growing family, we needed to sell and move out of state. With us out of state at this point, Elizabeth understood the difficulties with traveling back and she took matters into her own hands. She didn’t only help sell our condo quickly but she was there to complete various tasks throughout the mortgage process (we didn’t have to travel back once!). This was our second time using her as our buying/selling agent and we know we’ll be using her again when the time comes to move back. HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Elizabeth for all your help!

Mahesh Bhaskaran Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more thrilled to recommend Elizabeth as the real estate agent who helped me purchase my first home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated unmatched professionalism, patience, and expertise. Elizabeth took the time to understand my needs and guided me through every step of the process with ease and confidence. Her attention to detail and dedication made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home. Thank you, Elizabeth, for making my home-buying journey a success!

Betsie T Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before working with Elizabeth, we had been trying to buy a house for over 2 years with no success. We now own our first house after working with Elizabeth for just 3 months. She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

Kristin Lacey Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This was our second time working with Elizabeth; she helped us buy our perfect starter home in 2020 and this time she helped us sell it for a great price. The process was incredibly smooth and she is not only easy to work with, but also fun to work with! We’re so grateful for her expertise, humor, and generosity. She helped us get multiple offers and negotiate among them, too.

Kathryn Lucca Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was great to work with. She was prompt in answering messages and always made us feel informed throughout the whole process! She is a great resource for first time home buyers.

Emma McCabe Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm convinced that Elizabeth was sent by an angel to help us buy our home. She helped us find numerous grants and assistance programs for first-time home buyers which made a tremendous difference for the home we were able to afford. Through all of the paperwork and complications from those assistance programs, Elizabeth stayed with us and helped answer all of our questions. She was honest in walkthroughs about the repairs she saw that needed to be done, and I always felt like I had time to make important decisions with each property we visited. Even after the sale went through we had some questions about utilities and general homeownership and she was more than willing to help us. 12 out of 10 gold stars. We honestly couldn't have been happier with the process, outcome, and guidance we received. With her on your team, you're bound to get your dream home!

देवांश Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth has been an amazing agent. Her help was of immense importance to get a house that fit exactly what we were looking for, which is not easy, especially in this crazy market. She was extremely patient, helpful, and insightful, providing all the information needed to make an informed decision on all the properties seen. She told things exactly as they were and didn't say things that you would want to hear or push you to buy a property. She was very responsive over the phone and texts. She always went above and beyond even when there were last-minute requests to check properties out. She made this experience fairly seamless and I would highly recommend Elizabeth as a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was great to work with. Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She was my realtor for both buying and selling. Both went smooth. Thanks again Elizabeth :)

Maira Dhamo-Kaja Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is wonderful and we highly recommend her! We were so picky with what we wanted in a house and she was patient with us throughout the whole process. We never felt a sense of urgency or pressure to purchase, and instead felt heard with all our requests and concerns. Elizabeth was able to answer all questions and requests we had, and her expertise helped us feel more confident when putting in an offer. We were first time home buyers and appreciated her advice, recommendations, and amazing help in the overall buying to closing process. Could not recommend her more!!

Elizabeth Abbate Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Elizabeth. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. She did a really wonderful job helping me through the first time home buying process. Having Elizabeth on my team helped me feel confident, especially with the market being so competitive and stressful. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is very good at what she does!

Fantastic experience: We worked with Elizabeth to purchase a house. She was nice, kind, responsible and very professional. We are happy with our purchase and glad that we chose her to be our agent.

Piseth Cheav Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth has helped us to find a location for our business a few years ago, and now we work with her again to purchase a new home. The experience has always been great. She has great knowledge of properties, understand what we look for, help us find a great home that we like very quickly. She also helps us with referral to local services to help us settle into the new home as well. Highly recommended.

Evan Wolfson Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My family and I worked with Elizabeth to purchase my new home and we're so happy we chose to work with her over other agents. She was professional, made the process easy, and was such a huge help start to finish. She was our unshakable advocate throughout the whole process and helped us view several houses remotely as we were out of state for the first part of the process. She advised us on reeling in our expectations and dialing in on the right size home for our family and budget. I'd definitely recommend Elizabeth for anyone looking for an experienced and professional agent.

Travis Busbee Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was an amazing relator. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the process, and we found a great home. The thing that stood out, is that she viewed it almost as if she was selecting a home for herself, rather than collecting a commission. There were times when she told us to hold off, because it was overpriced, and also helped us with the strategy to get our new house $30k under asking.

Jamei Wang Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: As somewhat clueless first time homebuyers, Elizabeth was a wonderful and kind agent and helped guide us immensely through the process. She was extremely responsive and helped answer any questions we had - even asking questions to sellers that we didn't know to ask! She helped us set up several tours (some over an hour's drive away), and provided comparative market analysis upon request for listings we were more interested in. When we came across our dream home, she guided us through the initial offer, purchase and sale agreement, and helped negotiate an extended closing to accomodate overlap with our current lease. She provided suggested contacts for mortgage, inspection, insurance, and attorney for closing, and we had a lovely experience with all of the above. We highly recommend Elizabeth and her team!

Matt Grenier Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was instrumental in helping us find, win, and close on our dream home. She provided valuable suggestions of where to look given our desired checklist, demonstrated tact and experience in building a winning offer, and utilized her array of trusty contacts to assist in the closing. We cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her services!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Elizabeth on a recent home purchase and I could not recommend her more. Elizabeth is friendly, kind and incredibly easy to work with. She was always very clear in her communications, quick to respond, and flexible with her schedule. She provided astute guidance throughout the home buying process and also provided great recommendations to me for a lawyer and home inspector. I would be very happy to work with her again! I am grateful to have worked with her because now I am in a home that I love!

AJ Murphy Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was the absolute best! As first-time homebuyers, we were totally clueless - and Elizabeth guided us through every step of the process with extraordinary expertise and generous patience. She answered hundreds of our questions on everything from financing to furnace lifespans and guided us through what felt like hundreds of homes until we finally found the perfect place. You could not be in better hands!

Alicia Carmichael Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found Elizabeth to help me sell my Boston condo while living out of state. I came to Elizabeth after firing my first realtor, who listed the property in May 2022 and proceeded to ignore it for 6 months in a great market. I ditched my old agent and signed with Elizabeth in October 2022; by the end of the year we had a signed contract on the condo. When preparing the listing, she immediately noticed several huge mistakes the previous agent made and fixed them. The pictures she had taken were great, and she worked beautifully with my tenant. We closed mid-January, and Elizabeth put in extra effort to make sure everything went smoothly. The closing company she recommended was also excellent. I'd highly recommend her to anyone selling a condo in Boston.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Elizabeth as a realtor. She is an excellent agent with Commonwealth Standard, who helped us find an amazing house. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to finding us the perfect home. She understood our needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to show us properties that matched our criteria. She was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. Elizabeth's expertise in the real estate market was invaluable. She helped us navigate the buying process, explained the details of each property, and gave us honest and impartial advice throughout the entire process. She was always available for showings, even on short notice, and was able to schedule multiple showings in one day to help us make the most of our time. In addition to her professional capabilities, Elizabeth is also an extremely personable and friendly agent. She quickly built a relationship of trust with us, and we always felt that she had our best interests at heart. She is patient and understanding, never pushing us to make a decision before we were ready. The end result of working with Elizabeth was that we found an amazing house that we love, and the buying process was smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we are extremely grateful to Elizabeth for her hard work and dedication.

She is an outstanding agent who goes above and beyond to help her clients find the perfect home, and I feel very fortunate to have had her as our realtor.

Brenna Lahiff Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was a great asset to us in buying our first home. My husband and I were new to the process and Elizabeth patiently explained every step and was quick to respond to our numerous questions. She has a great knowledge of systems and repair costs which helped us evaluate our options confidently. We searched for a home for about 9 months and Elizabeth let us go at our own pace as we adjusted to the changing market. Once we found a home, Elizabeth had numerous great contacts that allowed us to smoothly finish the process with little stress. We highly recommend her as a realtor, especially if you are a first-time home buyer!

She made me feel comfortable during the entire process (something that is so new to me), aided me in any way she could, and was always responsive (at ANY part of the day). She is extremely knowledgeable and reliable in her field, but also goes out of her way to be kind, assisting, and friendly to every single party involved... Her hardworking nature helped me secure my first home, and I will be forever grateful for her. I highly recommend Elizabeth - Thank you!

Yohan Rosario Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth did an outstanding job supporting my partner and I in the purchase of our first home! Being first time home buyers, we didn’t know much about the process; Elizabeth always took the time to educate us and explain the process. Elizabeth is highly knowledgeable and was very responsive to all our questions. Elizabeth is very friendly making our home buying experience very personalized and fun. In addition, she has many reputable connections in the area which we were able to use including attorneys, mortgage lenders, inspectors, cleaning services, and contractors to support home repairs. We just closed on our house at the end of November 2022 and we are already recommending Elizabeth to all of our family, friends, and co-workers. We can’t recommend Elizabeth highly enough; she made the process of buying our first home an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Not only was she prompt in answering any of our questions, she was able to quickly schedule showings of all the properties we were interested in. Even after closing on a property she was very helpful making sure we had everything in order for our purchase. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially those new to the homebuying process!

Fantastic experience: We closed on our first home with Elizabeth back in January, and she couldn't have been more helpful. We probably looked at 20 different houses together until we found the perfect one, and Elizabeth would often accompany us on tours even though we'd give her very little notice. She's extremely knowledgeable about all things real estate, and was patient, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. An absolute pleasure to do business with!

Meg Parker Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently bought my first home. Despite the tough market, Elizabeth made it easy! The was always quick to respond and worked hard to get me what I wanted. As a first time home buyer, she helped me every step of the way and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Fei C. Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth and her team helped us sell our condo and buy a house at the same time. She was very responsive to our messages and both transactions went fast and smoothly. I would highly recommend her, especially on the "sell" side, as her knowledge on the market environment and advice on how to market our place was very helpful.

Craig Warner Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was recommended to us as a fantastic realtor for first-time home buyers and for good reason. She helped us navigate the confusing and daunting process of buying the perfect first home for us. Even after closing, she has not hesitated to respond with answers to any of the questions or concerns we've had. I will be highly recommending her to all our friends and family that are looking to purchase going forward!

Alyssa Venuto Lesbirel Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped us buy our very first home. She visited countless homes with us during the shopping process and was very knowledgeable about what to look for when estimating a home's value. After a year of looking, we finally bought our dream home and it all came down to our strong offer thanks to Elizabeth's guidance. We're very grateful and would recommend her to anyone in the market!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth Bain orchestrated the flawless selling of my South Boston condo. Extremely happy that I selected her. Elizabeth is sincerely warm and friendly. She is focused, extremely responsive, hard working, resourceful, helpful and a really great real estate agent. You can’t go wrong with Elizabeth!

Ana Lara Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is hands down one of the best agents you can get!! Before I met her, I was so discouraged by the house market that I never thought I was going to get a house I loved. I thought I was going to have to settle in such a big investment! But Elizabeth came to my rescue!!! She steered me in the right direction, gave me great advice, and supported me every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable in real state, knows a lot of neighborhoods, listens to you and is not pushy, which I loved! My deal was not easy and she negotiated with impeccable skills and got me the house I wanted for an amazing price. To add even more value, her whole team is fantastic, from the house inspector to the lawyer! I always felt in great hands and now I'm living in an amazing home!!! I Couldnt have done it without her; I'll be eternally grateful.-- if you contact her, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped me buy my first condo in 2019, so when my fiancee and I were looking to sell that condo and buy our first home together we sought out Elizabeth's expertise once again. We were glad we did! Elizabeth not only helped us get a number of strong offers on our condo, but she made expert suggestions that strengthened our offer that ended up being the most competitive. She helped us to move both our condo sale and home purchase through on a tight timeline. We would certainly work with Elizabeth in the future.

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough about Elizabeth. She helped me find an apartment a few years back and when it was time to look for something to buy, I naturally turned to her. Friendly, professional, responsive and most importantly gave me wonderful perspective and advice. She really knows Boston real estate and helped me navigate the complexity of the area.

Fantastic experience: Initially Elizabeth helped us get a wonderful rental apartment and when we were ready to buy we knew we would want to work with her again. As first time homebuyers, the process can be overwhelming but Elizabeth gave us great advice. Her strategies were extremely effective because we got the first home we made an offer on, our dream home. She was extremely responsive to questions and requests. She also has a strong network of pros who can help with anything from the inspection, insurance to the tradespeople who can help with work on the property after the sale. We would definitely recommend her as an agent and would work with her again(but we love our house so much, I hope we don’t have to).

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was amazing. She was a part of every step. She answered every text, call, question! Super knowledgeable. She made our first time buying an absolute ease! Absolutely grateful.

Catharine Keeffe Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I just recently bought our first house and Elizabeth couldn’t have been more helpful. She was always so quick to respond to get us into showings and had a bunch of amazing recommendations to make our offers stand out and they eventually got us our dream house. She is friendly, responsible and professional. I feel so lucky that we had her to help us and support us through this process after a very crazy year!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was introduced to us (me and my wife) by a friend. We were first time home buyers and we could not have found a better person to guide us through this entire process. Her knowledge about house construction and related systems comes in handy when evaluating a property. She also know the market really well which helped us a lot in making an informed and reasonable decision about buying a house that we could call home. We would highly recommend her services for buying and/or selling any type of property!

Aaron Ezra Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is everything you can ask for in a real estate agent. This was a hectic time to buy a house and she navigated it perfectly. She is very responsive and got us into all the houses we wanted to see as we made a decision. Once we were ready to put in an offer, she was very creative which allowed our offer to stand out and eventually be chosen. We can’t wait to move into our first home. When we are ready to sell, we will make our first phone call to her. If you are looking for an agent, Elizabeth is the best out there and will make everything easy and worry free.

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped me buy my first home and was a dream to work with. She is someone who is very knowledgeable about the home buying process, especially if you're a first-time homebuyer. She also knows a lot about affordable housing and restrictions. She is patient, thoughtful, responsive (at any time during the day), and made the process feel so easy and stress free! She is also well connected and had recommendations for lawyers and inspectors. As someone who was very new to the home buying process, she was an excellent resource. I have already recommended Elizabeth to all my family members and relatives. Reach out to her today!

Emily Hottal Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience buying a house with Elizabeth. We were looking remotely, and she pointed out additional areas to look at that we weren't aware of and guided us through houses we wanted to see via zoom, answering questions we hadn't even thought to ask. She was proactive and quick with pointing out houses that fit our style and needs, which was really appreciated in this fast moving market. Elizabeth helped us to put together strong offers that we were comfortable with and recommended great people to help us through financing and inspections. I recommend her to anyone looking in the area!

Spencer Dionne Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped my wife and I buy a home in April/May. She was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, responsive, and consultative throughout the entire process. Elizabeth recommended an excellent mortgage provider and attorney who were also incredibly helpful and spoke highly of Elizabeth's professionalism and expertise. We ran into very few issues during the process, but when they occurred, Elizabeth was also a step ahead to address it and answer our questions. She made what could have been a challenging process (in any year!) very simple and straightforward.

Josh Lanier Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was everything we could have wanted in a realtor and more. We were first time home buyers, and could have easily gotten lost in the process if it weren't for Elizabeth's expertise. She's incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. She helped bring our expectations in line with the market without rushing us. Overall I couldn't recommend her any more, especially for first time buyers.

Kyle Taylor Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped my wife and I buy our first home and we could not have asked for more from a real estate agent. As first time buyers, we appreciated her patience and ability to break down the home purchasing process into simple, understandable steps. She was always professional and responsive, replying to all of our messages in a timely manner and talking through our concerns any time of day. Elizabeth was extremely knowledgeable with the home purchasing process and was able to provide excellent recommendations for lenders, inspectors, and more. She provided valuable insight while we were looking at houses, helped navigate home shopping with current COVID precautions, and gave great advice while making an offer. She made purchasing our first home enjoyable and was wonderful to work with and get to know. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking a real estate agent!

Jackie Jackter Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth is honestly the best. She takes the time to answer any and all questions, is extremely responsive despite being incredibly busy, and really knows her stuff. We found her to be very trustworthy and did not hesitate to tell us when some aspect of the home would need to be fixed and/or cost a lot of money to update. She steered us towards houses that had the features we wanted, and was NEVER pushy. Elizabeth truly works with her clients. It never felt like she was a salesperson, instead, she was a home buying coach. I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough, especially for first time homebuyers. She does not cut corners or leave you hanging. She was excited for us when we got the house we wanted, and that was super nice. She is a great resource and real estate professional, but she's also an awesome person. I feel as if some realtors go through the motions just to make a sale and move on, but Elizabeth is the exact opposite of that. I do not have a single negative/constructive thing to say. I would not consider working with anyone else, she really is that exceptional.

Yvonne B Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I used Elizabeth to help me find a new home. She was responsive, flexible and professional. She was great about doing video calls so that I could see places virtually. I trusted her opinions about structural components of homes. She talked to the seller Realtors to get an idea of offers and negotiable items. Elizabeth quickly assembled offer letters and was awesome about editing them according to my specifications. I could tell that she was experienced because she also made great recommendations for mortgage lenders, attorneys, movers and other professionals.

Lauren Dobish Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We cannot express how much we've loved working with Elizabeth! As first-time home buyers in the middle of a pandemic, Elizabeth made what could've been a really stressful process incredibly stress-free! She went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful! Our situation was a little unique because we fell in love with a house we saw online while we were away for the holidays. We weren't able to get back in time to see the house in person before the offer deadline so a friend of ours went with Elizabeth to the open house so that we could see it via zoom. We loved it and knew we wanted to put in an offer, so Elizabeth advised us in all the ways we could make our offer really strong. It's the only house we put an offer in for and it's the house we got! None of this would've been possible without Elizabeth's guidance! Elizabeth makes you feel like you're her only client because she's so responsive to all of your texts, calls, and emails. She made herself available on such quick notice for all of our needs (open house, pre-offer inspection, walk-through before the Purchase & Sale, etc) and she always made us feel like a priority. Not to mention, she was so calm and patient with us even in our crazy scenario of putting in an offer before we ever saw the house in person. We felt so taken care of the entire time working with Elizabeth. In addition, Elizabeth has a network of people she recommended to us throughout the home buying process (lawyer, lender, contractors for work on the house, etc) and they were all so amazing to work with. Elizabeth came highly recommended from good friends of ours and we will definitely be recommending her to everyone we know! Plus, we will for sure be using her for all future real estate needs!! You definitely won't be disappointed working with Elizabeth!!

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth helped us to find the perfect condo! She was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive every step of the way. We highly recommend Elizabeth!! When it comes time to sell, we will definitely call Elizabeth. So delighted and happy with her expertise!

Kendra Mattozzi Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Elizabeth wholeheartedly to everyone and anyone! She truly made the home buying process less scary and much more manageable than I had ever thought possible. She's incredibly knowledgeable and was so patient with my husband and I asking endless questions as first time home buyers. If and when we ever need to buy or sell a house in the future, Elizabeth will be the first person I contact!

Thanks, Kendra, I'm very happy for you and Chris!

Emily Weilburg Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are so grateful to have worked with Elizabeth as our realtor for buying our first home. Elizabeth is more than an excellent resource and guide; she is a kind and thoughtful person who is clearly very driven and compassionate in her work. We were overwhelmed when we first started our search and Elizabeth was super helpful by giving us the lay of the land for a wide range of neighborhoods. When looking at properties, Elizabeth was always thorough and willing to answer questions about what to look out for. She was supportive when we needed to take a step back, through to the time when we made an offer. We highly recommend Elizabeth whether you are a first-time home buyer or have already purchased a number of properties. She is incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful and responsive. We can tell how much other professionals in her network respect and appreciate her, which also says a lot. If it weren't for Elizabeth, we wouldn't have had the confidence or ability to pull off the offer that got accepted. We are excited to stay in touch with her and refer her to our friends and family.

Leanne Avery Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This month my incredible realtor, Elizabeth Bain, helped me close on my first property! As this entire process was completely new and quite daunting to me, Elizabeth put me at ease by guiding me through every step of the way. In my experience, she was available whenever I needed her and all could not have gone more smoothly! Elizabeth helped advocate for me regarding an expensive repair that needed to be taken care of on the building and the sellers agreed to deducting a major cost from the closing costs to cover this repair. I could not possibly be more pleased with my beautiful condo right on the ocean in a gorgeous and welcoming community! I highly recommend working with Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable, personable and incredibly dedicated to her work. Thank you Ms. Bain and Commonwealth Standard!!
