Testimonials
“Selling our condo in Massachusetts was challenging because we lived 3 time-zones away in California. But as soon as Christine got involved, we were treated to her special combination of extensive experience and hands-on hard work. We were in good hands and never worried from that point on. She expertly handled all the contractors needed to prepare the place for sale, making sure they delivered on quality and timeliness. She planned and executed a marketing plan with open houses and referrals to get us the largest possible set of buyers. When the offers came, she used her many years of experience to guide us in the negotiations. And when it came time to close, she tirelessly managed the various contingencies to ensure a successful conclusion. In short, Christine’s efforts were invaluable to us and we cannot imagine a better result. We highly recommend her.”

“Christine was invaluable in helping us search for, bid on, negotiate for, and ultimately purchase our home. Her professionalism and guidance throughout the whole process was exactly what we needed and she was pleasant, direct, and courteous at all times. Christine was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and she provided us with valuable insights into recent transactions so that we could be successful when we found exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend Christine to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home, and will use her services again if we ever sell the home we purchased.”
"I was very fortunate to work with Christine as my real estate agent this past year as I was trying to navigate a very competitive market in the Boston area for buyers last summer. I had many suggestions for real estate agents, but I chose to work with Christine because of her in depth knowledge of the local area and her warm and professional personal nature, which is really an asset during a housing search. It turns out that I was very lucky to have her sophisticated advice when making offers in this difficult market because most attractive properties are receiving multiple offers and planning the right approach is crucial. She knew the ways that could make my offer stand out above the pack in a way that I could still manage securely, and her advice on this step in the process is directly responsible for me securing my first home. Even once our offer was accepted she followed through thoroughly during later stages of the process involving inspections, renegotiation of contracts, everything really straight through till we finally signed the papers. If you're looking for help in the real estate market these days, there's nobody better to have on your side."

“My husband and I had looked at houses for over a year but were intimidated by the prospect of taking the plunge. Christine made everything super easy, encouraged us without any pressure, and explained every step of the home buying process along the way. Our new home is absolutely gorgeous, and in a location I thought might have been out of our price range!”
I was fortunate to have worked with Christine Caton-McGill when purchasing a home in the Boston area. Christine’s experience in real estate was essential in helping me and my fiancée to find a great home. She took the time to understand our needs and guided us through the process from search until closing. I would certainly recommend Christine to anyone looking to purchase a home.
