Testimonials
My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Karen McCormack and Paula Callaghan of McCormack & Scanlan. Truly. The Spring market of 2013 was absolutely ridiculous. Inventory was at record low, so there were bidding wars left and right. Houses were going for well over asking price, people were dropping home inspections, and waiving mortgage contingencies. As first time h
ome buyers, it would have been so easy to get carried away and do something we'd regret later, like wildly overpay for a house. But thank goodness for Karen and Paula! They had our best interest at heart the entire time and would not let that happen. We feel SO lucky we had them in our corner. They are a really good team, each woman bringing her own unique strengths. When it came to bidding and negotiating, they were awesome. They didn't push us at all but they gave us their honest opinion and advice, which we appreciated so much because we really needed guidance. They really did feel like our trusted advisers. We close on our dream house this Friday. We absolutely could not have done it without Karen and Paula. My husband and I say that to each other all the time. They are just SO good at what they do. I could go on and on and on about them, but the bottom line is they are amazing women who are full of integrity, hard work, and wisdom who will make what could be a stressful experience a real joy. Kate & Robert Goldhouse - Sumner Hill townhouse Buyer
Jeremy, Mila and I are having a great time getting settled in our new home. Thanks again for playing such an active role in our finding the right place. :) I love our house and our yard and our neighbors are nice as could be. Three cheers for loving where you live! Jeremy, Molly & Mila - Single family buyers
Thank you for all of your hard work, and the creative marketing, targeting our specific needs was amazing! It went smoother than we could have expected, and for a lot more money too. You and Paula were always available to talk and clearly had our best interest in mind. Jan & Jim- Pondside 2 family seller
Karen & Paula are true professionals and were in control of the transaction through the whole process… what a relief. Dwight and Mary- 3 family JP seller
Now that the closing is behind us, I wanted to thank you for all of your help in the sale of our condo. Despite the kinks, it went so much more smoothly than I could have imagined just a few months ago. Gabriel and I very much appreciate your follow-through and professional handling of all the twists and turns throughout the process. It was so helpful to know that we were in good hands with so much experience and knowledge of the neighborhood as well as every other detail. Thank you! Elizabeth & Gabriel - JP Seller
I have worked with a good variety of realtors over the years and never felt like I had met any individual or company of realtors that I actually looked forward to working with. That changed when I contacted McCormack & Scanlan at the urging of a friend. At first to buy a house, then to sell that same house seven years later and now they are helping me find another home to live in. I have recommended them to numerous friends who have all been deeply satisfied with their timeliness, honesty and customer service. Karen and her cohorts are professional, responsive and truly personable people. They are invested in their business and they actually consider the people and personalities they are working with. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to the market and they deal with pricing and values realistically - they are no flash in the pan. They are committed people and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Their list of happy customers is a long one, indeed! Jane Messere - JP Seller
Paula Callaghan and Karen McCormack are amazing Realtors and amazing women! They were tireless advocates for me in the sale of my home. In addition, they have phenomenal work ethic, provided genuine support and a warmth through a difficult and daunting process. Truly exceptional. Robin Day - West Roxbury Seller
Thank you both so much for all your help in this process. It went faster and smoother than I had imagined, and I know that's in large part thanks to all the work you both put into this. I can now comfortably move onto the next part of my life. David JP seller
I'm very serious about the reference - any realtor can handle a simple single-family sale in a good market, but I believe you really, really earned your commission on our sales. You handled three separate transactions, in one building with two families. And the market was not very strong either. Great job Karen & Paula. Jim Covington - Roslindale condo/s seller
