GARABEDIAN GROUP

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Christine. My wife and I met Christine when we were deciding whether or not to sell our home and purchase new construction. We not only had ourselves to think about, but our two year old daughter. It was a big and potentially very emotional decision. Christine was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. She was not only very professional but also warm and understanding. What was unique about our experience is that we chose to allow Christine to represent us as the buyer and seller. This can be a challenging undertaking, she handled it extremely well. We are and remain extremely glad that we chose to take this risk with her. She was always available and attentive on both sides of the process. She was instrumental in making the entire process run smoothly. We never doubted her commitment to us, you always felt like she was thinking of you and your family first. A big thank you to Christine to whom we now consider a friend.

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Christine Garabedian of the Garabedian Group. I know Christine in the capacity of a real estate client of hers. I consider Christine an exceptional and caring real estate broker who went out of her way to service us in the purchase of our home. Not only did she help us to find and acquire the land but she also found us the finest developer and best price available to build the home of our dreams. When building a new construction home there are so many details and Christine was always attentive at every step of the construction process and no detail was too small as not to attract her attention. Also no concern of us was too small for her and she made herself available to us regardless of time or situation. Her help, dedication, and vocation of service have made me count her as a true part of my family. I am convinced that her professionalism, experience and commitment to service are valuable assets in any endeavor she chooses in life, especially if the endeavor requires total commitment to service, such as real estate. I recommend Christine?s services anytime without hesitation, confident that any client she works will have his or her real estate needs fulfilled in complete satisfaction while gaining a friend during the process!

The rental search and leasing process can be tedious, even more so when a franchise corporation is involved.  Christine was with us from the first viewing of our location right through the signing of the leasing agreement.  She is honest and genuine while professionally navigating the process.  Whether we were dealing with the franchise headquarters or the town, in its sometimes very frustrating procedures, she was there.  She was willing to help, to offer her knowledge and her time.  Christine is kind but also a very strong, capable professional whom we thoroughly enjoyed working with.  We wish more people in business could be like Christine. We as business owners have a very simple philosophy; treat people the way you wish to be treated.  There are not many in this world who actually work that way.  Christine is one of those people you so rarely are fortunate enough to do business with.  Lisa and Michael WithrowDouble You LLC DBA Subway

We purchased our home in Medford with Christine?s help.  The house we bought wasn?t on the market more than a week before we put it under agreement!  She helped us be some of the first people through the door, which gave us an advantage to get our offer in that same day.  Prior to making this offer we had seen so many homes and Christine kept us up to speed on what was coming onto the market and was always available to go with us to see so many different places.  Which in our case, purchasing our house was
so time sensitive had we not seen the house as quickly as we did, we probably would have missed our opportunity.   We also purchased the house in an as-is condition and with the help of Garabedian Group?s construction team we were able to get a sense of how much we would need to put into the home before making our offer.  Had we not had the real estate and construction expertise we wouldn?t have felt as comfortable as we did making an offer so quickly.    We would highly recommend Christine Garabedian in the buying or selling process!

My husband and I had tenants moving into our condo in Cambridge ? so we were on a tight  timeline to find a home. It was a stressful time ? and Christine was with us each step of the way. She was patient, responsive, flexible, and as diligent as we were about finding the perfect property. She spent whole days with us touring homes in the Concord, Carlisle, Bedford area. She took such special care of all of our needs ? from the  inspection (we purchased a ~140 year old home so this was not an easy  inspection!) to the closing (she watched our two-year-old daughter so we could sign the paperwork!). After we were settled in our new home, a beautiful bouquet of flowers came from Christine. This gesture  exemplified our experience with her. We love our new home ? and we are so appreciative for everything that Christine did to make it a reality for us. 

I would highly recommend GRBD group for anyone looking to buy, rent, or list a home in the Cambridge area. Dan helped me find an apartment when relocating to Boston, and was patient in finding the right place. The team at GRBD has experience in the East Cambridge and Cambridge area and gives great insight into the real estate market. After having negative experiences with realtors in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and would rate them highly. I would recommend GRBD group and certainly use them again.

Dan is a great agent to help anyone find an apartment in the Cambridge area. As a resident of the East Cambridge neighborhood, he brings insight and local knowledge to the process. In addition to bringing Real Estate experience to the table, Dan works with the rest of the team to provide in-house construction services and consultation to give you estimates of different projects either for move-in or down the road. This eliminates the guesswork for determining cost of construction projects and definitely helps with envisioning your perfect apartment. Dan helped find me a great place for the best price when the options were slim. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy, rent or sell an apartment in Cambridge or Greater Boston area.

Christine Garabedian is someone you want to work with. She really goes to bat for you and works hard to get you the best deal she can.  She's reliable, responsible, detail oriented and her suggestions are always spot-on, especially her suggestions for staging the property.  The video and photos she had made of the property were excellent, featuring all its best points. She even showed the house to everyone personally rather than having a drop box key for other brokers.  We really appreciated the time she took to address all our concerns, answer our questions, and walk us through the whole process.  We would use her services again without hesitation

We are in the process of working with Christine from the Garabedian Group to purchase an investment property in the Cambridge/Somerville, MA area.  Although we have yet to find the "perfect" property, Christine has been an invaluable asset to us during this process.  Since we began our search in early November, 2013, the inventory in our specific area has been very low.  To that end, Christine has been very patient with us while we wait on finding that perfect property.  She has been extremely professional, courteous and always proceeded in a timely manner.  She has also taken the time to do direct mailings to various properties that she believes would interest us.  She never makes us feel like we're being a bother or "wasting her time" like we've heard from other realtors.  As a bonus, Garabedian Group also offers construction services.  This has been a great service as it has been very beneficial to have a construction expert with us while looking at properties so we can be properly informed of construction costs prior to making any investment decisions.
We look forward to finding our investment property and by working with the Garabedian Group going forward, we're sure we will find it!
  

The Garabedian Group handled the sale of my 1bed Watertown condo with the utmost professionalism and service. Christine went above and beyond for a property many other agents would have been uninterested in due to the fact it was a small lower priced unit. She happily ran a successful open house and was always available for showings. The property sold very quickly because it was priced correctly. Other "local experts" were not as honest about the assessment and had I gone with them it would have meant a longer time on market and disappointing price reductions. Christine on the other hand did an accurate market assessment and gave fantastic advice resulting in a fast sale at a price I was happy with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an honest and professional agent.

For the 2010 and 2011 Halloween Season, Garabedian Group's Christine Garabedian worked with me to find and contract space in a well placed commercial building.  We worked together in 2012, but could not find vacancies that worked for my needs.
Christine was a pleasure to work with as she took personal interest in my business and my success.   Her
 involvement in my business did not end with the signed lease with the landlord, she was there to help me throughout my season when several different unexpected issues arose.
The temporary nature of busienss creates unique real estate challenges for both me and my landlord.  Christine took time to understand both sides and has enhanced my relationship with the landlord, rather than isolating us from one another.   This relationship has stayed strong and may help us both as we continue to plan to work together when the right space is available.
Christine provided guidance during the permitting process, has recommended local vendors, referred employees and even helped with small things (like out of season snow plowing required on Halloween 2011).  She takes a personal interest in my business and I hope to work with Christine and Garabedian Group for many more years.

Christine is an amazing agent to work with! We utilized Christine?s services for both selling our home while simultaneously searching for a new one.  We do not believe we could have navigated this complicated process without her wisdom and assistance.
Her work ethic from day one was responsive, extremely proactive and very pleasant to work with.  She has a great personality
and style that makes her a very effective real estate agent without being pushy or overbearing.  She has a great knowledge and interest in residential properties and with the help of her in-house construction services, we were able to accurately and timely estimate the cost of the work we had to put into our home before putting it onto the market.
Christine gave us a guided hand in how to purchase property.  She was willing to discuss any and all of our concerns at length without rushing us or trying to persuade us one way or the other.  Christine is an agent whom you can trust for sound real estate advice. 
We would strongly recommend Christine to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.  Her compassionate and dedicated style will put any buyer or seller at ease, while her conscientious approach affirms that all bases are covered!
