Alex was a pleasure to work with. She gave us invaluable advice about what work was worth doing in our house before we listed if for sale and what was not, and she had a great set of people that she knew who we could hire to do that work. She was very responsive whenever we had questions, and she was even more on top of paperwork to get signed (e.g. by the condo association) than we were. She seems to really know the local market, and helped us to sell our home for more than we would have otherwise.

We have used Alex for multiple transactions, and she kicked butt both times! She came very highly recommended and still exceeded expectations. I will always remember her calm and professional approach as rates were jumping, and our property was somewhat slow to sell. We followed her advice and guidance and ultimately received an even better offer. My Wife and I are so thankful for her help through that process. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and fun to work with. We recommend her to all of our friends.

Alex was so very helpful as I searched for a condominium in Cambridge, found the one I wanted, and negotiated it to purchase. She was incredibly well informed, patient, asked good questions, helped me negotiate. If I were looking to move again, I would be happy to work with her. She is smart, trustworthy, kind, and a pleasure to work with.

Team Brainard at Compass did a phenomenal job guiding us through the sale of our condo in Cambridge. From pricing the property to connecting us with critical resources like a stager and a painter/handyman to working with the property management to obtain necessary info for the listing and for buyers, Patti provided the expertise needed to make a quick sale at our desired price. We cannot recommend Patti Brainard enough.

Alex is simply the best. We recommend her to everyone we know who is navigating the greater Boston real estate market. She helped us buy a dream condo in Cambridge in 2016, bringing her savviness and years of experience to find us a beautiful place at a price we could afford. We stayed in touch, and this year she sold our condo and helped us buy a home in the burbs in what has become an incredibly crazy housing market. She and her team at Compass made the selling process seamless. She suggested practical improvements that we could make with minimal time and effort to increase our condos value. These extra touches spruced up our place and, we believe, led to us receiving multiple competitive offers within the first week and a great sale price.Alex is an expert buyers agent. Thanks to her, we were able to quickly find and buy a house within our budget that had all the important criteria we wanted. She helped us strategize our offers on homes by bringing all of her skills and tools to bear for us: a data-driven approach of looking at comparables, her deep knowledge of the market, her attention to detail, and her keen intuition in the midst of a rapidly changing market landscape. Throughout the entire process, Alex worked tirelessly with us, from walk-throughs to pre-inspections to many phone conversations. When it came time to make offers, Alex's skill as an expert negotiator shined, and she was able to extract valuable information from the sellers' agents that allowed us to make far more competitive offers, ultimately beating out more than a dozen other offers on the house we purchased. Working with Alex and her contacts made the closing process smooth and easy, both for our condo sale and home purchase. On top of everything else, she recommended a lender who was able to offer us a mortgage interest rate almost a whole point lower than what we could find on our own. We are so pleased with how the whole process went from soup to nuts. Alex is a superstar agent, and we cant recommend her highly enough.
