Highland Group At Compass

Negative experience: I tried working with this company to view a rental unit. I was repeatedly passed around to four different realtors. When they sent me to the original person I contacted, they then told me the apartment had already been leased (was posted yesterday morning and all communication I had with them was within 24 hours). Incredibly frustrating to lose out on an apartment because the team kept passing me off and nobody would help.

Fantastic experience: We used Chrissy D’Ambrosio to help us sell our condo and find our forever home. She was absolutely amazing! She worked so hard the entire time and made the process much more enjoyable. She’s great with communicating everything and always available to answer any and all questions throughout. We honestly could not imagine going through this without her guidance. I highly recommend using her for selling, buying or both!

Fantastic experience: I don’t usually write reviews, however I am compelled to do so in this instance given how happy and grateful I am for my experience with Jonathan Polino as our realtor. We worked with Jonathan for the sale of our home followed by the search and purchase of a new home. These were very different properties as we moved from the suburbs to the city. The search for our new home took close to a year and Jonathan was incredible through every step. We viewed dozens of condos and the time was incredibly well spent because when we found our new home we immediately knew it was the one. Jonathan is naturally driven to deliver an incredible experience and has the expertise to match. He spent a countless number of hours arranging everything, coaching us, and attending to every detail. He also has an incredible network of folks (attorneys, contractors, etc) that compliment and round out his services. We simply couldn’t be happier with Jonathan or our new home. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Sharon is great! She made my home selling experience very simple and stress free.

Fantastic experience: I recently bought and sold a home using the Highland Group. My agent was Atiyeh Cassidy and she was tremendous. She made what can be a stressful time into a nice easy transition. She was super informative and her response time when we had questions was amazing. I would highly recommend Atiyeh to anyone buying or selling a home. She was able to get us over asking on the house we sold and under on the house we bought. Thank you for the awesome job. If we ever move again we know who we will call

Fantastic experience: I worked with Sharon Tallent at Highland on both the purchase and sale of my condo. She was extremely knowledgeable of the market in my town (Winthrop). I had spoken to another realtor before her who underestimated the value of my home, but ultimately decided to go with Sharon (thank goodness!) who delivered in a tricky time of year (November) and brought in more than what I had initially expected. Always professional but also also very caring - loved working with her!

Fantastic experience: Atiyeh and Jim could not have been more helpful. They helped so much with prep and getting my property ready to list. Atiyeh held an open house two days after the property was ready and we signed on an offer 2 days after an open house. Perfect!!

Fantastic experience: We recently working with Highland Group At Compass to sell my parents' home. Specifically, we worked with a terrific realtor named Chrissy D'Ambrosio who was a real pro and a pleasure to work with. She knew her stuff, kept commitments and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the train remained on the rails! Honestly, she was a breadth of fresh air as selling the family home is an emotional event and through it all, we knew we could always count on Chrissy to get things done. If you are considering selling or buying real estate in the Greater Boston area, our family would highly recommend giving Chrissy and the Highland Group At Compass a call. Top Notch!

Fantastic experience: We were very lucky to have Jonathan as our agent when selling our home! He was very professional and knowledgeable. He walked us through each step of selling our house and always had our best interests in mind. He was extremely easy to reach and never failed to answer any of our questions. He made the process of selling our home a breeze! We highly recommend Jonathan whether you are buying or selling your home!

Fantastic experience: Highland Group and Jonathan Polino really helped my Aunt through the process of rehabbing and selling her condo, which she lived for almost 40 years, so she could relocate to Myrtle Beach to be near her grandchildren. The Compass group and their concierge program was the perfect way to help my aunt and her family close one chapter of their lives and begin the next chapter. They were professional, conscientious, and supportive throughout. Jonathan and Jim Polino and their associates were top notch.

Fantastic experience: Sharon was a pleasure to work with. Her expertise in selling our apartment went quickly and smoothly. Her personality and willingness to go the extra mile really paid off. I recommend Sharon whenever you’re selling your property.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a reputable and dedicated realtor, look no further than the Highland Group at Compass. My wife and I sought their services to sell our 2 bedroom condo in Winthrop. We were quickly contacted by Atiyeh Cassidy who presented as warm, personal and knowledgeable, without any pressure whatsoever. Throughout every stage of the process Atiyeh was ALWAYS available for support and guidance. Saying she was a pleasure to work with would be an understatement. There were many times where it felt like we were her only clients due to her dedication and commitment to our sale. She would usually stick around after visits or stay on the phone to get to know us better and reassure us every step of the way. I really can't say enough how much we appreciated her hard work and expertise. Had we not moved out of Massachusetts we would undoubtedly solicit her services for any future homesales or purchases. I cannot recommend Atiyeh and her team enough.

Fantastic experience: Atiyeh was absolutely amazing to work with. She found me my dream home, answered my millions of questions, and she made home buying pretty stress free! I would 1000% recommend Atiyeh to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Sharon, Jim, and the Highland team helped me sell a property in Winthrop. There were a handful of situationally unique aspects to the house and the sale. The Highland team guided me through these items and the result was a quick, smooth, sale.

Fantastic experience: Jim and Jonathan are masters of their craft and were so incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire transactional process. I couldn't have made a better decision in selecting Highland Group at Compass to market my home and highly recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling in Winthrop!

Fantastic experience: It was great working with you. You made me feel comfortable about my decision. You always answered my questions honestly and returned my calls promptly. There was a lot of work to get this unit on the market if it wasn’t for your help it would of never sold. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: sorry i dont type well; atiya cassidy is the greatest! her advise and coaching helped very much to sell our 2 homes in record time!! her willingness to work on a holiday week end , sold our last house. she decided to have an open house on the holiday weekend which attracked a buyer who couldnt make the first one. YES SHE MADE AN OFFER OVER ASKING THAT NITE!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jonathan Polino of Highland was a great experience that made selling my cherished home painless and a seamless process He respected my wishes at every juncture and made sure that my opinion was valued. His professionalism and attention to detail was A+

Fantastic experience: Gia was very responsive to my questions and was a pleasure to work with. She definitely made the apartment-hunting process less stressful. When I'm (eventually) ready to buy, she'll be the first person I call.

Fantastic experience: Angelea Correale was amazing. She is extremely professional and down to earth. Gia returned all calls, texts, and emails immediately. She asked all of the questions I didn't know to ask. Gia was on time for every showing. I told her exactly what we were looking for, and had us in our new apartment in one month. If we move again, I will be calling Gia. I highly recommend working with her.

Fantastic experience: We recently utilized Chrissy D’Ambrosio to help the perfect house in Winthrop. Chrissy is an amazing realtor and helped tremendously in finding our home. She is extremely knowledgeable and understands the market very well. She thinks through every aspect of the process and ensures nothing is missed. She went above and beyond to help us find our dream home!!! I would highly recommend using Chrissy as a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Six years ago Jonathan Polino helped us find the perfect first home in Winthrop. When we were ready to move on, I had no doubt Jonathan was the right person to help us on this new step. The sale of our house was uncomplicated, efficient and exceeded expectations. Jonathan's professionalism and real state knowledge stands out. I highly recommend his services if you are looking to buy or sell!

Fantastic experience: It does not get better than Atiyeh Cassidy. She was so helpful, patient, honest and hard working. Always having our best interest in mind. Jim Polino was also always readily available to assist in any way. Compass Concierge funds allowed us to make improvements to our home, which helped to increase the sale price. We would not have been able to get the price we wanted, without this assistance. Funds were able to be repaid at the time of closing. Amazing benefit of going with a Compass group.

Fantastic experience: Chrissy D'Ambrosio is a delight. She helped to make the sale of our cherished home an easy and convenient process while also referring to us a great moving and packing service while out of state due to COVID. We highly recommend her and her team!

Fantastic experience: My siblings and I reached out to Sharon and David Tallent for the sale of our Dad's house. Their knowledge, efficiency, experience, and hard work ethic made our process smooth and satisfying. It was an easy decision to choose them when we first began the selling process. Many thanks to Sharon and David for their professional and caring demeanor through to the closing day. I would recommend both realtors at the Highland Group at Compass, it was truly an pleasure.

Fantastic experience: We decided to sell our unique home with Sharon Tallent at Compass Realestate. Sharon was professional and considerate during this period of COVID. Sharon had to show this unique property while being safe. She had an appointment only “open house”, and she had it sold in a few days! WOW fast and easy! Thank you Sharon and Jim Polino for all the hard work!

Fantastic experience: Atiyeh helped us sell our home! She was professional, great, and supportive of our process in selling our home. We appreciated all of her expertise, guidance and always answered our questions. We sold our home. I recommend working with Atiyeh and Compass--they were great!

Fantastic experience: We are all so thankful to have had Atiyeh Cassidy as our agent. It's been really amazing working with her and as first time home buyers, Atiyeh took the time to make sure we were making well-informed decisions and guided us every step of the way from offer to closing. Her advice and recommendations for the inspector and attorney were top-notch and saved us money as well. We can't thank Atiyeh enough; the whole process was a breeze because she went above and beyond for us, showed great compassion and was so knowledgeable, patient, hard-working and easy to work with. Next time you want to buy or sell real estate, please consider working with Atiyeh!

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our family home with the help and courtesy of Sharon Tallent. We chose Sharon because she has lived in Winthrop her entire life and has sold property here for 30 years. There isn't anything she doesn't know about the town. Our house was unique and required a unique approach and plan. Sharon understood the emotion involved and treated us with the care and compassion, expertise and knowledge that this special transaction required. We would highly recommend Sharon to help guide, inform and work with you and for you throughout the the entire process.

Fantastic experience: My Wife and I used Jonathan to purchase our first home back in 2017. The experience was so great that we became repeat customers in 2020, when we sold that same home in December. Jonathan helped us through the various options with our home and we ultimately went with a “coming soon” approach. This strategy worked perfectly and Jonathan was able to sell our home before we went to market at full ask. This resulted in a quick close that Jonathan navigated us through in nearly 30 days. We didn’t think he could exceed our expectation from our first purchase - but he did!

Fantastic experience: The Highland Group at Compass and especially Atiyeh Cassidy were amazing when we worked with Atiyeh to buy our forever home. Atiyeh helped us navigate the crazy world of buying during a pandemic, in a very hot market with a house that had multiple bids. Whenever we had questions and needed a second opinion, Atiyeh offered us solid advice so that we won the bid and closed in record time. I would (and have) recommended Atiyeh and Highland at Compass to others. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Sharon Tallent at Highland RE was amazing, flexible and understanding of our needs and desires. She is highly knowledgable of Winthrop/Revere market which was important for pricing and promotion. We sold our home for well over asking price in just one weekend and she helped us to find the perfect forever home as well as manage to coordinate a double closing. Sharon made the process as easy and painless as possible. I highly suggest Sharon for any of your broker needs, she is AMAZING!

Fantastic experience: I bought my condominium more than 25 years ago. Jimmy was the one with the most knowledge and expertise that I knew this was were i wanted to start my search. Love my condominium as much today as I did the first day I moved in. Thanks Jimmy for such expertise in the real estate world.

Fantastic experience: Chrissy was an amazing agent. She handled an evasive buying agent who wouldn't confirm that their buyers offer wasn't contingent on them selling the property they owned. She was professional but persistent and offered us the advice of including, in our counter offer, that their buyer will buy, regardless of sale of their property. An excellent suggestion that helped us weed out a potentially bad situation.

Negative experience: Virginia brown was abysmal. Called her at 7pm a week and a half ago she told me to call her the next day to discuss my needs more in depth, perfectly reasonable. I call her the next day and it was as if she forgot the whole conversation even though she assured me she wrote everything down. I call her Friday the 15th to set up a viewing for Wednesday the 22nd at 230 after telling her that I would 8-5 and that it is hard for me to get out of my job early. However for this listing I was willing to be flexible. Today, the 20th, I call her to tell her we are going to be late. She doesn’t answer the first time so I leave her a message. She calls back a few minutes later to tell me the apartment had been claimed two days ago. No confirmation call today and never notified me that the apartment had been claimed so I left work in Quincy to meet someone in Winthrop and had I not been running late, would have ended up wasting more of my time listening to her beat around the bush. Highland real estate I’m sure is probably fine, but this experience will ensure that I don’t come back.

Fantastic experience: Chrissy and the team at Highland R.E. did a fantastic job of marketing our mother's condo. We interviewed other brokerages but their knowledge of the local market and confidence in being able to sell at a higher price than we were quoted elsewhere was why we listed with her. After viewing the unit it was suggested to us to market the unit as a potential two bedroom unit, thereby commanding a higher price was the type of knowledge and guidance we needed in a difficult time. Within 3 days of the condo hitting the market, we had several offers, some over our asking price! I would highly recommend Chrissy and Highland R.E. when considering the sale of your property!

Fantastic experience: In 1999, Cathie Curran helped us find our condo in Winthrop. We told her exactly what we were looking for, and in short order, she directed us to our future condo. So, when it came time for us to move on to a new home in New Mexico, it was only natural that we thought of no one else to handle the sale of our condo. We wanted to avoid the possibility of having to live in a hotel and move our belongings into storage, so we bought our new home before selling our condo. We listed our condo on March 1st, closed on our new home on March 15th, moved in on March 25th, and closed on the Winthrop condo on April 28th. We couldn’t have asked for better timing. Once again, Cathie listened to our wishes, and went well beyond our expectations.

Fantastic experience: To fully understand Mike's assistance in helping me find a home. First off, is to recognize his character, aside from his obvious professionalism. Mike, is very talented at what he does and takes pride in his work. I was thoroughly impressed by his responsiveness and remarkable patience in finding me the home I desired. He helped me find a condo that had everything I was looking for. I highly recommend Mike Cimmino to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: Mary Ann Cash was a pleasure to work with. My client's (I am also a Realtor) purchased her listing in Winthrop. Through out the transaction she was professional, courteous and helpful. Thank you Mary Ann for helping my clients achieve their dream of owning a home in Winthrop!

Fantastic experience: Mary Ann Cash was an excellent Realtor while selling our family home at 108 Bay View Ave. She went above and beyond, was extremely helpful to all our needs as we live out of state. We recommend her highly.

Fantastic experience: Sheryl is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and extremely informative throughout the buying/selling process. I have experience in working with her on both sides and will continue to do so in the future. She offers a level of service that is extremely hard to find. I recommend her highly!

Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Sharon Tallent and Highland Real Estate with the sale of my home and purchase of my new home. We had a time constraint on the sale of our home and Sharon worked so many hours to make sure everything went as smooth as possible. She was so pleasurable to work with, always happy to answer any questions no matter how many times I called. She was very patient and understanding of our needs. The entire team at Highland Real Estate was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Sharon and Highland Real Estate.

Fantastic experience: we were really lucky to Have Margaret Herbert as our real estate agent. She is a very sweetest person, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Looking for a house is a stressful thing, especially at this time, but Margaret was there for support. We had been looking for the right house since January 2015, and we didn't find one till February 2016. For over a year, Peggy ( Margaret Herbert) was always there to make any appointment, to give time, and also to give advice. No one will be patient for one year in order to look for a house I image, except Peggy. Thank you Peggy for your help, and thank you Highland Real Estate.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend working with Highland Real Estate, and Realtor Mary Ann Cash! The offices were very convenient to us in Winthrop. Every meeting we had with them was pleasant and helpful. Mary Ann was so thorough, personable, friendly, and helpful during our home buying process (as first time home buyers). She was always extremely punctual and professional, but at the same time very down-to-earth, like someone you've known your whole life. She made the whole process very comfortable. We completely trusted Highland Real Estate and Mary Ann to show us the way throughout this process, and she truly linked us up to a home that met all of our needs, as quickly as we needed it to happen! We feel that she really became a friend to us during this process, and we can't say enough good about the experience with her.

Fantastic experience: I recently rented an apartment with the help of Joanne from Highland. My experience was great, as soon as I saw the listing on the website I clicked on the link to inquire about the apartment and was promptly contacted by Joanne. We set up a time to see the apartment that day and 2 days later I was signing my new lease! I would definitely recommend Highland to friends and family, and when I eventually buy a home I will contact Joanne again.

Fantastic experience: Mike was wonderful to work with. He managed a very complicated sale of a commercial property in Beverly and did it in record time. He handled each bump along the way with a professional "can-do" attitude and made this sale as easy as possible for us. I would highly recommend Mike Cimmino and Highland Real Estate!

Negative experience: Absolutely horrible. Completely unprofessional both when looking for apartments/houses and when you leave. Only one of the three staff members I spoke with was friendly but that turned sour when things didn't go her way. They don't care about their clients. They only care if they can make the sale or not. Very impatient, blunt, and completely rude. I'm glad I never have to deal with them again. If you are interested in looking somewhere in Winthrop. Perhaps the Century 21 Seacoast would be a better bet.
