Since many of our clients have been in their home for 40 or 50 years, some longer (a few even born there!), the home tends to become a family member.
Some of our clients weren’t so keen on “giving up their independence” and leave their family home. The idea of gifting a house portrait is our way of demonstrating memories are portable and in essence giving them back a piece of their home.
Our closing gift, (when appropriate) is a custom watercolor house portrait created by local artist Renee’ MacMurray
Based upon feedback over the years, we’ve found that having a portrait (especially if the homeowner has passed away) facilitates the recall of fond memories and can serve as a healing tool for the survivors.
“The day I met Adam before we had agreed to anything and before I had told him much of anything at all, he showed up with a detailed folder in his hand that he had spent who-knows-how many-hours compiling. The preparedness and foresight absolutely blew me away and made me know this is the type of person I have been looking for. Adam is one o … f the best people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with both professionally and personally. I cannot say enough glowing things about him. I honestly came to rely on him and he became my central coordinator for everything. In the midst of it all, he was the only person I actually trusted. I just wish I had more business to give Adam, he truly deserves it” Read More ▾
“Adam was terrific throughout the entire process. He was extremely professional and very patient with me. He answered all my questions and kept me informed of the process at all times. He was very honest, dedicated and his work ethic is awesome. I am very grateful to him!”
“My estate planning attorney recommended Adam to me and I am thrilled she did. Adam set himself apart immediately from the other brokers who I met with before listing my mother's house in Quincy. I had recently moved my mother to memory care and Adam understood that the proceeds of the sale would be funding her care. He understood timing and pricing … the home correctly were the top priorities for us. My husband and I have bought and sold a few homes in the area, so we've worked with local brokers before. I can't say enough good things about Adam. While it's a business transaction, he understands it is also a family home. He made sure I was informed about every point in the process and we had multiple offers within one week of listing. He also recognized the emotional side to this sale and went above and beyond to support me through the process. His demeanor, character, patience, and humor all helped me through a difficult time. Adam did everything right - and then some! Just a few examples include: multiple calls to the building inspector's office to try to track down permits from 40 years ago (successfully, I might add), purchasing and installing the correct smoke detectors for the home, dealing with an attorney who was beyond difficult to work with, coming to my home to have me sign the closing paperwork so I didn't need to attend the closing in person, and then coming back an hour before the closing time to have me sign additional documents the lawyer omitted from the original packet - and finally, to presenting me with the most lovely painting of my mother's home as a keepsake. During the process, Adam made me feel as if I were his only client - which I knew I wasn't! I wish everyone could work with him. I can't recommend him highly enough” Read More ▾
“I had the good fortune to work with Adam Hayes. He made what could have been a difficult experience, very easy. After helping my mother to relocate out of state, I needed to sell her condo remotely (from 1500 miles away). That meant communicating with Adam variously by phone, text and email. He always responded in a timely way. If he didn't have an … answer (which was unusual), he would do his research and get back to me. His advise was on target. He showed good judgement and solid knowledge of the local real estate market. Adam went above and beyond expectations in multiple ways. For example, he took the initiative in investigating an unexpected water/sewer charge. He made a point of arranging furniture himself for the staging. When we needed a legal document for the closing, he was the one to procure it. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Adam Hayes. I can't imagine anyone being more responsible or doing a better job. On scale of 1 to 5 stars, I'd give Adam a 5” Read More ▾
“Dear Adam, Thank you so much for being Mom's Realtor. You made the sale of her home a virtually worry free process! We appreciated your kind and caring manner, it meant a lot to us during a somewhat trying time. It was amazing how quickly the house sold. Thanks for all your hard work.”
“Dear Adam, I am truly blessed to have had you come into my life when you did. The situation with my Mother's house could have been a complete nightmare, but thanks to you, I only had a few bad dreams. Your expertise and positive attitude along with your caring nature make you the wonderful Realtor that you are.”
“Adam, Just a personal note of thanks for all you did for my Mom, siblings and I, in getting my parents home sold as quickly as you did. You certainly did a great job in studying the market! You know how to deal efficiently (and cost effectively) with all of the details in getting this house sold. I can never thank you enough for all you did. I w … ish you much continued success in your future” Read More ▾
