Amber Orton

We purchased our first home through Amber many years ago - an amazing experience - and HAD to have her services with selling the same home. From the moment of our decision to sell, Amber was with us. She calmed many of our concerns (we were out of state during much of the process) and she responded to every email and phone call within a handful of hours. She is an excellent partner in selling, and I say partner because she never pushed us to do anything we didn't want to do. Amber's associates are also excellent; the lawyer she referred is exceptional and the home buying stress was minimal during the pandemic. I tried to convince Amber to move to a different state with us; unfortunately she loves living north of Boston and wouldn't consider moving. :) Amber and her team provide stellar services to both home buyers and sellers - they have set the bar of expectations very high. I recommend the Orton Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, whether new to the market or a seasoned person. Thank you, Amber, for making the process seamless.

We have used Amber twice now--once in 2011 when we bought our first home and again this year when we bought a new home and sold our current home. We spent over a year looking at homes before finding the house we wanted and Amber was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient with us and never intrusive. We always felt like she had our best interest in mind. Her suggestions were incredibly helpful. She was very easy to get a hold of when needed which made it very convenient for seeing homes on short notice.When we sold our home she was equally helpful. Her suggestions were spot on and directly led to us getting an offer within a week of listing our home. She and her team did a fantastic job staging the house and she planned out open houses and showings with minimal disruption to our lives. I highly recommend her and her group. We had the exact same experience when we bought our first home in 2011 with Amber and would eagerly use her again.

The experience that my husband and I had with Joelle could not have been better. Joelle had reached out to me through a facebook page where I posted stating we were going to begin house hunting in Melrose, MA as a first time home buyer. From our first interaction, Joelle was trying to help, with no strings attached. I felt I could trust her right from the beginning, and from our first zoom meeting, my husband and I felt we'd made a great choice. Joelle was pleasant and fun to tour homes with, was very knowledgeable about the area we were house hunting in, and is very knowledgeable about homes- things like circuit breakers, retaining walls, and many things my husband and I were not well informed about as first time home buyers. She would often point out negatives in homes that we never would've recognized being new to the process. She was responsive day and night, and no matter how ridiculous the question, she was patient with us and supported us through a stressful process. Joelle has a lot of strategies that she recommends her clients to use when making an offer on a house, and with following everything she recommended, our offer was accepted on the first house we offered on. The ONE snafu we ran into in the whole process was with our mortgage company that we'd found on our own (instead of using one Joelle recommended). If I could advise anyone interested in buying a home in Joelle's area of expertise, use her recommended staff to assist with the process. Joelle is truly an expert in her field, a trustworthy and kind person, and I could not recommend her more highly. If you trust and do as she advises, you'll get the home of your dreams.

What a pleasure it was to work with Joelle! She helped me sell my condo and buy a new townhouse--all in a matter of 3 months! The whole process from start to finish was smooth as can be for me while she and her team of networks worked their magic. Joelle was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and FRIENDLY. I really felt she was looking out for my best interest in both the selling and buying process. You can tell she really loves her job and that kind of attitude helps when you're navigating such important decisions in buying. I'd recommend Joelle to everyone!!

Joelle is absolutely amazing. She is extremely dedicated, honest, and very knowledgeable. She walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and to see properties even on short notice! I felt as though she truly cared about finding a good fit for me and in the end we found the perfect home for me. I loved seeing places with her because she would see things (good or bad) that I didntA pick up on. I knew I could really trust her! She is also very creative in finding ways to make our offers standA out and in fact, we successfullyA closed without being the highest bidder!

We had a bad experience with the first agent and switch to Joelle with The Orton Group. It was one of the best life decisions we have made! Joelle is the best real estate agent in the A 1/4 ber competitive greater Boston area market. Her Experience, patience and kindness make her a perfect first time buyers agent but she would just as wonderful if you were buying or selling your 5th home. She helped us buy our first home during Covid and while were expecting a baby. Cant recommend her highly enough.

We worked with Joelle to buy our first house, and it couldnt have been a better experience! She always kept in contact about different opportunities, and was very flexible and available to show us properties. Especially during the pandemic, Joelle made the process smooth! We always felt like Joelle had our best interests in mind, and we couldnt have found the home we love without her!

It was so wonderful to work with Joelle! This was our first home, and she made the process so easy for us. Joelle was extremely knowledgeable and responsive (so quick to respond!), and we could always rely on her to answer our questions. In a process with so many people and pieces involved, Joelle helped to move things forward, and hold everyone accountable. I highly recommend her!

We chose Amber for her expertise in the local market and her straightforward style, and we were not disappointed. She provides exceptional customer service. Amber communicates clearly and proactively, anticipates issues, leverages her strong local network, and generates creative solutions. She takes her fiduciary duty very seriously, and she earned our trust as an adviser. Thank you, Amber, for helping us through this process!

With Amber's help we were able to negotiate the purchase of our new home in a tight Melrose real estate market on the first house we had made an offer. Amber helped us through the entire process and even followed up after we had moved in.
