Testimonials
Jennifer Rinella and Michael Sivel of Chestnut Hill Berkshire Hathaway are a superb team who compliment one another well. With knowledge and experience in a wide range of real estate markets, they helped us explore and consider well suited areas we did not know existed. They communicated well and negotiated a reduction in sale price after our inspection uncovered some problems. From the search process to closing, Jen and Michael helped us maneuver this very unpredictable time in real estate sales.
Jenn and the Sivel team did an outstanding job, the negotiating advise I got from them was why I was able to get the house. I highly recommend, very professional and experienced.
From the very beginning, our work with Jennifer and the Sivel Group was extraordinary. Through Suburban Jungle, we were connected to do town tours with Jennifer who honed in quickly on our priorities (new construction, reasonable commute, excellent schools). After a couple of house visits, my husband was able to house search without me and the range of homes kept getting us closer to our ideal relocation. Trust is so important when you are doing an out of state move. We never felt like we wasted time or were misunderstood. Our experience with this company is that their patience is exceptional and they will be forthright in all interactions. With little knowledge of how to navigate the process ourselves, I believe we asked thousands of questions in total. Their responsiveness worked around our busy schedules and helped us keep moving during a competitive market. We are now settled and beyond happy for the care we received. If we ever move again (please, no!) we will not hesitate to work with this team again to sell.
We have worked with Jen on three different transactions - buying and selling. She is smart, efficient, responsive, knowledgeable - she is the best realtor that we have ever worked with! If we move again, she is our first call!
We’ve worked with Jennifer and her team on a couple of occasions - both buying and selling - and she is everything you could want in a realtor. She’s knowledgeable, fair, extremely patient, and communicates all the way along the process, while providing advice when needed. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
