A Few Good Words About Me

Choosing Janine Fay as our agent was the first and best decision we made when looking for a condo in Somerville. Her enthusiasm and her deep understanding of local real estate were a godsend. She listened to us, helped us sort out our priorities, and shared her joy in exploring this city’s neighborhoods. Janine is warm and generous, and she’s fearless. Thanks to her insights and her advocacy, we’re living in a place we love.

Janine Fay is the consummate professional while always being sensitive to the needs and desires of her clients.  I am a first time home buyer.  It took me over 18 months to find the house of my dreams and Janine stayed with me the entire time, looking at house after house while remaining upbeat and encouraging.  Janine is a wonderful person with good spirit and enduring patience.  And she knows her stuff.  I recommend Janine without hesitation.

Without Janine, we would never have made it through the process to purchase our home from a difficult seller.  She kept her cool and her sense of humor throughout. 
She appreciates how personal the choice of a house is, and was endlessly patient and even supportive of all of our idiosyncrasies. 
She is honest and ethical and a good friend. 
I have and will wholeheartedly recommend her.  If God forbid I move again, I won't hesitate to call her.  She's the best!!

What does it say about Janine Fay that we ended up purchasing the first house that she showed us? (This was after more than two years of looking with another broker!) She "got" us right away, and made the perfect match. Janine's concept of brokering the purchase of a home is astonishingly broad. We obviously didn't spend a lot of time looking at properties, but from the initial discussions through the offer, the inspection, the loan approval, the closing, and move in, Janine was shrewd, generous, perceptive, receptive, hands-on, and an incredible resource for all manner of contractors, services, and homeowner tips. She remains a trusted professional hand-holder, even though we are no longer broker and client. A full year after moving in, she is still in touch. The last line of her most recent email, was "Let's make this work." That's Janine."

Janine Fay was my realtor for many months as I moved from the Midwest to the Boston area and sought out a condominium. Convivial and smart, Janine was also proficient and conscientious. She quickly mastered my "tastes" concerning the housing edifice and its location, and the financial resources that I was able to muster. 
The perfect condo at the affordable price was located near Davis Square (an ideal location for me). 
Contact with Janine did not stop with the closing ritual. She acquainted me with Somerville and with proficient local repair people who could service the typical needs of a "move in".   Months after the closing, Janine continues to be readily available.  I have dealt with no few realtors over the decades, and she is the best.
