Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
I met Mimi at an open house while working with another realtor. She could not have been more helpful even considering at the time nothing was in it for her.
We were moving in from California and had a small window of time to find and close on a house and she sacrificed 5 consecutive days with me touring the area and seeing over 70 homes.
When we did find the right one she was amazing at coordinating everything for us as we were in California. Her negotiating skills are top notch and she also is very well connected with contractors to get work done on the property before we moved in.
I would highly recommend Mimi to anyone as she took our needs first and saw this through from beginning to end.
Thanks again Mimi, we could be happier with you or the home to our our family in.

Mimi understood our needs exceptionally well and found a perfect match for us. She has tremendous experience in purchasing properties in this area and has my full confidence in representing our interests. She also has an extensive network -- quite helpful in this competitive environment. You can count on Mimi to help you find the ideal new home.
Mimi went above and beyond in effort to help us get our new house. She helped guide the process to a super conclusion and fought for our interests the whole way.

Mimi was recommended by my husband's work colleague. We were moving from Europe so we were totally reliant on Mimi's expertise and local knowledge and she delivered in spades. Mimi even spent a great deal of her own time helping us to secure a local, temporary rental so that we would have somewhere to live initially - invaluable help when moving to a completely unknown area.
Mimi worked with us to very quickly move forward with putting an offer in. She gave excellent advice on how to make our offer most attractive to the sellers, and very quickly dealt with paperwork. She was able to give us superb recommendations for a home inspector, attorney and mortgage broker. And passed along questions we had to the sellers in a timely fashion.
Mimi knew what we wanted better than we did, and was happy to work with our very tight timeline. She set up viewing for us very quickly - in fact the house we purchased, the viewing was set up within 4 hours of us expressing an interest. She really provided invaluable local knowledge and clearly explained the nuances of the Mass housing market. She made the whole process enjoyable and easy.

We both bought and sold a house with Mimi. She got to know us, our family, and our wants and needs, and found us the perfect place. When we initially struggled to see our condo she was constantly coming up with new ideas to advertise, until we got our buyer. Mimi was amazing. I have already recommended her to others in the area.

Many years ago, my husband and I reached out to Jackie to ask her advice on the value that finishing our basement might add to our current home. She prepared a full assessment of our property and gave us sound advice. She did not charge for this service, and we felt immensely grateful for it. MANY years later, we reached out to her to help us find a new home.
Jackie is such a personable, gentle and thoughtful individual. At no point did we feel we were frustrating her (our search took two years!). She seemed to take each "no, not this one" dismissal in stride and still kept her eye out for us, and encouraged us toward the end when it truly felt we were not going to ever find the right house.
We are certain we would not have had our bid accepted without the counsel of our agent.

Jackie assisted my daughter and me and displayed super good patience with a seller who was a bit difficult. Thanks, Jackie!

Can't say enough good about her.
Photographer was excellent, friendly, and interesting to know.
Took us through a difficult phase of our life - major downsizing, selling, and moving. Her support was key to making this possible at all, and to keeping it as positive as possible. Jackie is a consummate professional and was a calm, wise and helpful presence in every phase of a difficult process. And yes, she got us a great result!

Marketing was different than usual because of the corona virus (no hard copies of any materials), but Jackie did a great job, both informing us of what was currently available, and lining up appointments to show the house, keeping strict adherence to Covid restrictions (masks, gloves, showings limited to 2 people plus their broker by appointment only, no kids, etc.)
Jackie brought in Mary Lou McDonough for consultation at one point, and she was equally excellent - very impressed!
One of the above answers how long it took to sell our house, and the smallest amount of time was 2 weeks or less. Our house sold at the 2nd open house on Sunday, May 10 (Mothers Day - I considered cancelling the OH because of the "holiday"), and we had 6 competitive offers on "offer day," Tuesday May 12! That was 4 days after it was listed!

Jackie Hawkinson frequently partners with our listing broker, Mary-Lou McDonough. They worked together to transform our home from lovely to remarkable. I never worked with brokers who worked so hard on a listing.
My experience has been that the listing broker gathers information, inputs it into a data base, has a broker's open house, and an open house, the sale happens after a month or so, and the broker gets their commission. This was not the case with Jackie and Mary-Lou. They worked very, very hard to make the property as wonderful as possible in order to get the best value possible.
