"I selected Tom for my search of a Newport home given his vast knowledge of the local market and his extensive experience in real estate sales in the district I was looking in, Tom could not have been more professional, respectful and efficient during the sales process, I very much enjoyed working with Tom and Hogan Associates, I would be happy to use them again and to recommend Tom to anyone I know looking for a home on the island."

"Cathy is a friend that we had lost touch with over the years. We had seen her name on many properties locally and we had her in mind for when we were ready to sell. Many of Cathy's listings were similar in characteristics to our property and it was important to us that the broker agree with the uniqueness of our home. It was also important the we have comfortable clear communication and because we knew Cathy we were confident this would happen. In addition to that, she made the emotional aspect of selling a family home seamless with ongoing respect, kindness and patience. Thank you Cathy, we appreciate all of your hard work."

"I first came to know Tammy through a personal recommendation when my husband and I were buying our first house. We were living in Japan at the time, and Tammy was instrumental in helping us buy — sight unseen. Not only did she hold my hand throughout the entire process, teaching me along each step, but she went to bat for us and fought for us when we needed it.
When we moved back overseas and wanted to rent the house out, Tammy was instrumental in helping us set a rent and deposit that was fair, marketing the rental, and finding us tenants. She made recommendations about how to prioritize improvements we wanted to make to the property and what would bring the most value given our situation. She even helped me find an excellent new property manager when I had to fire our original manager. She found every tenant that rented from us, vetted them, took care of the paperwork and collecting the deposits. All I had to do was review the information she presented me and give the thumbs up for her to proceed.
Most recently Tammy has helped us sell our house. After almost a decade it was time for us to let this house go, and just like the last 8 years, Tammy stepped up in a big way! She was instrumental in helping us pick a price and even helped us get an offer well above asking.
Her knowledge of the local area cannot be beat.
She works relentlessly for her clients to get them what they want.
Her communication is unmatched!
I cannot say enough good things about Tammy Bass. If you are looking for someone to get things done in a timely fashion, fight for you on all fronts, and keep you up to date along the process, you can't find anyone better than Tammy. I wish she could help me with our other real estate dealings in other states!"
Lyndi Brewer (Seller) Tue, 11 Jan 2022 03:11:54 +1000
"she was honestly amazing and we couldn't have done it without her. 11/10.
she was excellent. on top of everything and was always understanding and patient."
Andrew Kort, Providence (Buyer) Tue, 04 Jan 2022 04:45:36 +1000
"If you are looking for a Real Estate agent on Aquidneck Island and the surrounding areas, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and look no further than Tammy Bass!
I can not speak highly enough about her and her team. We sold our home with Tammy in 24 hours for over asking- mostly thanks to her knowledge and expertise. It was such a smooth transaction and process.
Then came the purchase of our dream home which also wouldn't have been possible without Tammy! She was the wonderful matchmaker between seller and us. The market was very tough for buyers at this time, and we owe this entire sale to her! We literally couldn't be more grateful to her or for her!
Additionally throughout everything, Tammy was soooo patient with us and always understanding. When she didn't have an answer, she got it for us within 24 hours or less. I always felt like we were her ONLY clients. She was always there for us in whatever capacity we needed, it was amazing! I wish I was still in the market for real estate just to be working with Tammy everyday again."
Saralynn Bixby, Middletown (Buyer) Tue, 04 Jan 2022 00:55:32 +1000
"Janie Aracil went above and beyond helping us buy this house. Not only did she help us make an offer on short notice, but she also sorted out the complicated solar panel issue, helped with multiple negotiations, was readily accessible, and generally provided excellent advice/coaching throughout the process. We couldn't be happier."
Ben Pease, Common Fence Point (Buyer) Tue, 28 Dec 2021 05:19:41 +1000
"I've known Jeff Brooks for years in a professional capacity (unrelated to real estate) as we are both very involved in the community. After speaking with a friend in common, we both thought Jeff would be the right agent to sell my house. He met all my expectations, but he also surprised me with the very high quality of his work. The visual presentation of the house was well thought out and well executed. He kept working on it to get it right. His calming, assured demeanor was particularly helpful during inevitable moments of stress. His knowledge of the local market is deep and broad. This adds up to great service. I would highly recommend Jeff as a real estate agent."
Kim Salerno, Providence RI (Seller) Tue, 21 Dec 2021 08:19:48 +1000
"Gordon was excellent, very knowledgeable and his help and availability was above and beyond!!"
Dan - Jamestown (Buyer) Fri, 17 Dec 2021 03:15:44 +1000
"Tammy was flexible and instructive in this whole process. Her local knowledge and familiarity with military patterns on base gave me confidence in her recommendations. I would recommend her to anyone.
Tammy was also my agent and the sellers, and I think she did an excellent job representing both of our interests. I don't know if many realtors would have do as good a job balancing both parties interests."
Claire Longabaugh, Portsmouth (Buyer) Wed, 15 Dec 2021 02:56:45 +1000
"Tammy was excellent throughout the entire process. We chose her for her connections to the military community for this specific listing. Tammy was fast and very reliable. We will certainly be using Tammy again in the future! Thanks!"

"Professional, truest caring, goes above abs beyond to make our first home owners experience amazing."
Charles Weeden, east providence (Buyer) Mon, 13 Dec 2021 00:57:47 +1000
"Tom Rao was informative, patient, and experienced. We felt we could trust him throughout the process of selling our house and were impressed by his expertise and professionalism. Each step was thoughtfully planned out and executed with excellent attention to detail. He had a vast knowledge of the local real estate market and was able to provide thorough and helpful explanations throughout the process.
Overall Tom Rao's professionalism was outstanding and he provided great communication. We felt he always had our best interest in mind during decision-making. His friendliness and easy-going nature was a source of reassurance. We got more than what we had hoped for - a fast turn-around at an excellent price. He helped us realize our dream of relocating to a warmer climate closer to our children and grandchildren!"
Nels and Diane Larson, Newport, RI (Seller) Sun, 05 Dec 2021 07:28:50 +1000
"We worked previously with Tammy in the purchase of our condo. It was a full state search in a hot sellers market. She was key in helping us narrow our choices and never showed frustration with all of the changes that we made along the way. When it came time to sell the condo, we wouldn't think of having any other realtor help us. She's the definition of PRO with the outstanding personality to match! When the time is right to buy again, we'll definitely contact Tammy!"
Lori Papa, Richmond, VA (Seller) Wed, 24 Nov 2021 03:38:29 +1000
"Tammy is the best! Very knowledgeable of the area and local resources, super responsive, and overall so great to work with (making a life experience that is usually stressful as easy as possible.) I would recommend Tammy to everyone!"
Jennifer Olson (Seller) Tue, 23 Nov 2021 05:01:40 +1000
"The factors that persuaded me to work with Lynn Creighton, beyond the necessary condition of understanding the real estate business, were her professionalism, her thoroughness, and her integrity.
It was as painless as a real estate transaction is likely to be. I was very satisfied with both Lynn Creighton and Hogan Associates."
Peter Bourke (Seller) Sun, 21 Nov 2021 02:48:52 +1000
"Everyone told me I wasn't going to find my dream house the first time around, but I can honestly say that I did and I very much owe that to Jeff Brooks and Hogan Associates! I could not be happier with my new home.
I was really apprehensive buying my first house alone, but it was reassuring to have a thoughtful and accommodating team to work with. Jeff was supportive from day one and helped walk me through the home buying process every step of the way. He went out of his way many times to help me look at listings, answer tons of questions and emails, and send comps for listings I was interested in. He was always honest when he thought a house wasn't a good fit and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He was never pushy and supported me when I decided to back out of my first accepted offer (and encouraged me when I was stressed out and second guessing things). I really felt that he had my best interests in mind. I can't say enough good things about my experience."
Gwen Kidera, Portsmouth (Buyer) Sun, 14 Nov 2021 12:36:03 +1000
"Cathy is an amazing agent and friend. She went from being a buyer agent, to a leasing agent, to a sellers agent in a 10-year period. Anytime in between she always stayed in contact and helped with anything requested and expected nothing but a smile and a thank you. Truly a class-act!"
Jan Rajchel (Seller) Tue, 09 Nov 2021 18:22:55 +1000
"Mike was very helpful, informative and knowledgeable. Great working with him and made this experience fast and efficient.

"Jeff Brooks sold our house in two days; so I definitely though he did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with."
Charles Gardner Topsham Maine (Seller) Thu, 28 Oct 2021 09:06:40 +1000
"A good real estate agent wears many hats: accountant, therapist, home expert, personal advisor, neighborhood pal, style guru.
Gordon King was all of these things and many more. Even staring down the big waves of a large home purchase, he was keeping a steady hand on the wheel while navigating at full throttle. He brings wonderful baked goods, is a snappy dresser, knows everyone, bon vivant, and optimist. In the two and half months of a nail biting transaction he brought to the process building inspectors, recommended architects, found us a construction contractor, and advised on tennis courts, dock builders, lawn mowers, trash guys, neighbors and restaurants.
If Gordon had not been our agent I can’t imagine completing this transaction. And now, as my husband and I look out to the sunset at the west passage from our back porch, I want to thank Gordon King for helping us buy the ultimate home for the two of us and our growing family of grandchildren.

"Diane Harrison was a pleasure to deal with.
She knew the market, and her research on the market proved invaluable when we priced our property. We got an offer within a day. Once the offer was accepted Diane guided us and followed through with every detail."
Bob & Dian Maramdola (Seller) Sat, 23 Oct 2021 04:40:05 +1000
"Cathy is a great broker, always very helpful, easy to reach and quick to grasp my needs. She was instrumental in this purchase. I trust and really in Cathy’s opinion when dealing with any real estate investment in Rhode Island. This is not the first time she was my broker and I count with Cathy with future purchases and rental deals."
Patricia Stuckert Newport RI (Buyer) Fri, 22 Oct 2021 07:48:29 +1000
"I would recommend Paul because of his vast knowledge of the Newport market, his trustworthiness and his excellent guidance."

"I had a fabulous experience working with Hillary. I ask a lot of questions and she was extremely helpful in assisting me to navigate the home buying process. Hillary is super pateint, diligent, and kind. She is always very responsive when I reach out and was able to be flexible and work around my schedule. I highly recommend Hillary!!"
Katy Annulli, Warwick, RI (Buyer) Thu, 14 Oct 2021 04:07:23 +1000
"We are very satisfied "return customers" with Cathy Wicks. She helped very effectively with the purchase of one house eight years ago, so she was the natural choice for another round of a sale and a new purchase. We anticipate that we will turn to her again whenever we are in the market!"
Burke Rogers, Asheville, NC, and Portsmouth, RI (Buyer) Fri, 08 Oct 2021 06:37:33 +1000
"Barbra O'Reilly was always in tune with our needs for this sale. She is professional and trustworthy. We put the house on the market for a month, because we had renters moving in the following week, and didn't want them disrupted by showings. Barbara did everything we needed in a small amount of time; photos, listing, open house, marketing...She was respectful to our wishes and to our renters at all times.
Within days, we had multiple offers over asking price, and went under contract within a week of listing.
Barbra O'Reilly is the best realtor we have ever worked with and we highly recommend her to all!
Karen & Barry Sherman"
Karen & Barry Sherman, former Middletown property owners. (Seller) Wed, 06 Oct 2021 08:39:52 +1000
"Barbara is simply the best real estate professional you can have as a partner. She is persistent, reasonable, thoughtful, intelligent, creative, and a joy to engage with! She has assisted us with our properties over the past 20 years and has always been consistent. She is honest, straight forward, completely trustworthy, energetic, and an absolute delight to do business with. Lucky are the persons who are represented by Barbara O'Reilly in their real estate transactions. It simply does not get any better."
Donna & Mark Miller, Arlington, VA (Seller) Sat, 02 Oct 2021 05:31:51 +1000

"We have a long history of working with Paul Tobak and have known him since 2002. He helped us purchase and sell two homes on Aquidneck Island. Paul is a person of high integrity and has a wealth of experience in the real estate buisness. We trust him without reservation and would happily recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the area. We feel blessed to know and work with Paul Tobak. He is a very knowledgeable broker and a friendly, courteous and wonderful person to know.
Paul Tobak walked us through each step of our home sale. He was available for questions and offered excellent advice when we needed it. The sale of our home went very smoothly and without issue and that's because Paul Tobak handled it with expertise.
Paul Tobak is one of a kind. He is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable brokers we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Once again, we feel blessed that our paths crossed. He is trustworthy and he has subperb communication skills. We felt very well treated and very well taken care of by Paul Tobak. He made us feel like we were the most important and special client he was working with (even though we know he was working with many others at the same time).
In addition to the wonderful experience we had with Paul Tobak at Hogan Associates, we also worked with Norann Warner. Norann was terrific as well. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. We felt very comfortable working with Norann Warner and would recommend her as well without reservation.
Our overall experience with Paul Tobak and Norann Warner at Hogan Association was truly excellent and exceeded our expectations."

"Lynn is particularly knowledgable about the condominium market. Her attention to detail and book of resources to get through the inspection phase was especially valuable."
Elizabeth, Portsmouth, RI (Buyer) Thu, 09 Sep 2021 05:32:55 +1000
"We cannot recommend Gordon enough! We are in love with our home but if we were buying again we would use Gordon in a heartbeat. We were first time home buyers that were moving from Boston to RI so we were looking for someone that knew the market well and could guide us through the whole process. With Gordon, we got that 1,000 times over. He truly guided us and educated us throughout the whole process - from our initial phone call, through putting in offer, inspections, closing, post-closing work, and he even emailed us yesterday (two months post-close) to check in.
Gordon is truly fantastic. Over the course of our home buying process he was many things: educator, guide, advisor, advocate, sounding board, and friend. He was always (truly always) available to discuss anything that was on our minds. Throughout the process, he was a fierce advocate for us and fought for what we wanted while still being respectful and professional. With Gordon's help, we secured a waterfront home at an attractive price - something we never thought we would say in this market.
We could not have asked for a better realtor. Many people we spoke to told us their realtors disappeared after signing but the post-signing process is where Gordon truly shined. He helped us pick the right inspectors and advisors, was available to meet with inspectors when we couldn't make it, and helped us arrange for painters to come right after we closed (in a market where it is almost impossible to get a painter!). Our closing process went incredibly smoothly and we truly owe that to Gordon.
Gordon is a wonderful realtor and person - he has a great eye and sense of the market. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful and incredibly likable. And, the icing on the cake, he has amazing connections in the Newport area and was able to recommend wonderful contractors to make our new house our own."
Rich & Eliza, Tiverton (Buyer) Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:10:18 +1000
"Matt knows what we want before we know it. He has sold to us 4 places and sold 3 of those 4 for us. His advice on location and value have been right on even when we didn't see it initially. Matt has a great instinct for the market in RI and he tells it like it is whether you want to hear it or not. If we had followed Matt's advice from the start we would have made a lot more profit on our investments. Now we always look to Matt for advice."
Ken Bouchard Bristol RI (Buyer) Sat, 14 Aug 2021 07:59:19 +1000
"Lynn Creighton is one of the best experiences I have had purchasing property. She is professional, polite, on time for showing as well as phone/text communication. I couldn't have asked for more as a buyer."
Mirash Isufi (Buyer) Sat, 14 Aug 2021 03:02:23 +1000
"Lynn was very knowledgeable about sales in our community and very professional. She was very responsive to all of our questions and her follow-thru was excellent!! She did an outstanding job with the sale of our home.
Lynn knew exactly what she was doing and was in control every step of the way. She told us exactly what to expect and the transaction unfolded exactly as she said it would.
Lynn was a delight to work with every step of the way. Would recommend her highly for any type of real estate transaction."
Julie N, Middletown (Seller) Fri, 13 Aug 2021 09:44:38 +1000
"We would recommend Holly McLear to any buyers or sellers in the greater Newport area. We had very specific things we were looking for in a new home. Holly stayed on the local market and found the perfect house for our family. She then coordinated a very effective inspection and closing process. The whole experience was seamless and we would highly recommend Holly McLear to others!"
Shannon & Chris Ferguson (Buyer) Sun, 08 Aug 2021 00:18:33 +1000

"We have worked closely with Leslie before. She is probably the best broker we ever had. She is responsive, knowledgeable and firm (in a nice way when she has to be)!!
She had a very difficult client and broker on the other side of our deal. We could not have done it if we did not have her!
Once again, she is the best!"
Jodi Block, Portsmouth (Seller) Thu, 29 Jul 2021 07:55:54 +1000
"I can't even begin to express how happy we are that we selected Holly as our realtor to sell our Newport, RI condo. We "interviewed" three different realtors but ended up selecting Holly. In addition to liking Holly when we met her, our decision was largely driven by how impressed we were with a then-current listing of hers that I'd found on Zillow. (That may sound like an unusual selection-criterion, but - being in the apartment rental business - my husband and I firmly believe that a listing has to stand out to attract the widest possible audience.) Holly did not disappoint - the listing she created for our unit was incredibly inviting! But, as we learned along the way, Holly's attention to details did not stop at creating a terrific listing. She was extremely attentive to and knowledgeable about every step of the process, from listing to closing. In addition, she was extremely accessible and easy to communicate with. All in all, we highly recommend working with Holly!"
Mette H., Newport, RI (Seller) Thu, 29 Jul 2021 06:41:48 +1000

"We worked with Leslie Hogan during the craziness of the spring/summer of 2021. My wife and I were looking for our first home and doing it from a distance. Working with Leslie was amazing. Not only is she an expert in her area she is also the consummate professional. She answered all of our "first-time buyer" questions and never made us feel like we were the rookies. Leslie was always willing to talk and was honest with us about different properties. She also took the time to get to know us to keep our priorities in mind while watching the market closely. Leslie was quick to do remote walk-throughs and support us through the bidding process. We highly recommend working with Leslie, and we are so thankful that she was our partner in this process."

"Tammy was an exceptional agent for us! Over the course of 2 years she showed us countless houses, helped us put in over 5 offers until we found the one where she knew right away that it was the perfect spot for us! There is no one we have worked with before that will go to the ends of the earth like Tammy did for my family! We enjoyed every aspect of working with her. Her kindness and attitude was incredible and we cannot wait to work with her again!"
Blair Moore, Warren (Buyer) Tue, 06 Jul 2021 23:47:21 +1000
"We have purchased several properties over the past few years and Caroline is the best broker we have dealt with. She was thoughtful in working with us to identify properties that did or did not meet our search criteria. Once we identified a property she was helpful in negotiations and had a clear vision from the onset about what the right price would be for the property. She helped us get the home under agreement at a price we felt comfortable with and went above and beyond to help accomodate a smooth closing process. We would definitely work with her again or recommend her to others"
Dan, Newport (Buyer) Wed, 30 Jun 2021 12:59:33 +1000
"Leslie Hogan was terrific. Every home sale involves highs and lows, and she was our steady calm and trusted advocate throughout. Super professional, knowledgeable and forthright, Leslie was always available to work through our every concern, making the entire process as stress free as possible. We’ve worked with several realtors in the past and have never experienced one as interested in learning about, and prioritizing our goals as sellers. We highly recommend Leslie and Hogan Associates."
Homeowner, Jamestown (Seller) Tue, 29 Jun 2021 22:19:36 +1000
"Betsy Reed, understood what kind of property I was looking for. Once it was found she arranged for an open house and tendered my offer, after very short negotiating the selling price was agreed upon. Some "adjustments" were negotiated and accepted.
She guided me through the documentation and inspections processes as well as communication with all parties involved. She pushed the Sellers when the process seemed to slow down, all in a very professional manner.
All-in-all she was very helpful !
I can highly recommend her!"
Siebe Noordzy, North Kingstown (Buyer) Tue, 29 Jun 2021 07:51:53 +1000

"Have you ever been involved in a transaction where you started to wonder if the people on your team really had your best interest at heart?
If you choose Tom Rao to help you, that thought will never cross your mind. Tom is laser focused on doing what you want and need while providing great advice that comes from his knowledge and experience gained from working and living in the Newport area.
Tom has extensive contacts and will share them with you as you progress through your deal, and that extends to the time after the deal has closed. Need help finding a home inspector, attorney, the phone numbers to call to connect your utilities, insurance, just ask Tom.
He will be there when you need him, even if at the moment you haven't figured out that you need him yet. He will keep the process moving when it wants to stall. Tom even took the trouble to print out 400 pages of documents he thought I should retain for my files so that I wouldn't have to do it myself.
If you want a successful transaction ask Tom Rao and Hogan Associates to help you."

"Having a trustworthy agent was our primary concern.
Jeff was dedicated to our wants and needs.
Devon was very and helpful when needed
Jeff played an integral role in our purchase in a highly competitive market. He got us right into houses for showings, structured a P&S agreement that was a deciding factor in us getting our offer accepted, and made many key suggestions to help with a smooth closing."
James Owen East Greenwich RI (Buyer) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 22:33:04 +1000
"We have relocated for work numerous times over the years, both internationally and cross country. Having the right realtor has always been one of the most important aspects of every move. However, in today’s Covid market with the lack of available real estate, it is crucial to be working with someone both knowledgeable and efficient, as you do not have the luxury of time to research properties to the extent warranted by these fast selling, top dollar properties. You snooze, you lose! You need a professional who knows the area and property – value and history, and if there are unknowns, has the contacts and drive to get the information quickly. Leslie Hogan is that realtor and more. She is exceptionally informed and knows the market extensively. She is a pleasure to work with – friendly, intelligent, and sincere-- the type of person you’d love to have as a neighbor. You are not taking any chances with Leslie, you are getting the best!"

"If it weren't for Diane Harrison, I am certain we would never have found the beautiful house we can now call home. Diane was the consummate professional, friendly, trustworthy, reliable and dependable. She gave us counsel when we needed it. Was knowledgeable about current trends in realty and the neighborhood. Never pressured us to buy something she knew was not what we wanted. The process was frustrating through these unusual times as homes came and went within days and sometimes hours. We were from out of state and Diane would even visit houses for us when we were unable to see the property because of distance. We felt such confidence in her work that we never doubted she had our best interests at heart. She is a dedicated professional, a top realtor, and a wonderful person. Thank you Diane!"

"Cathy did an awesome job throughout the whole process. She made seeing houses a breeze - whenever we saw something online that we liked, she setup an appointment to see the houses really quickly and all we had to do was show up. She knew the area really well and gave her honest opinion on a lot of the properties - which helped us determine if we thought a house was over or under valued.
Whenever we put in an offer on a house, we never felt pressured to offer anything we weren't comfortable with. Due to the hectic market, it was nice to not feel pressured to go way over asking or waive inspections/appraisals just to get a house. Everything with the negotiation process worked out nicely as we got the house for a great price and did not have to negotiate past our initial offer. Along with that, the seller wanted to expedite the closing process and Cathy handled everything she needed to quickly which allowed for the process to go smoothly."

"Our home purchase involved a very lengthy and challenging "new build", and Jeff had our backs every step along the way.

"Paul sold our condo in Newport and did a great job. So we decided to use Paul again.
Has great knowledge of the market and we value his options on what real values are.
With a line of buyers and agents waiting to view this home while we were inside, Paul had a plan to get it for us.
Paul had our interests in mind and helped us get thru this difficult process.
Could not have been better
We had started looking last fall and could not find what we wanted. Then we started looking again earlier this year and Paul helped us find a place that checked off all our requirements."

"Holly McLear made every effort to find my home in a fairly quick turnaround period due to my move date to Rhode Island. She worked day and night, weekday and weekends evaluating homes on the marketplace in my price range and traveling about to allow me to virtually tour homes. I had faith in her from the start to be my eyes and ears since I was unable to visit the homes in person.. She went ABOVE and BEYOND to find the perfect home for us and I am forever grateful for her wisdom, kindness, intellect on the housing market!! Additionally, I was having issues with getting credible answers on my VA loan from my first loan officer and she assisted with getting the correct answers and provided guidance on where to turn to find out what I needed. Without the correct information, and her guidance, there would have been several issues with my mortgage. Thankfully everything worked out more than perfectly and I love my new home!! Thank you so much Holly!!"

She truly made us so comfortable with the entire process, and truly had our best interest at heart. She is an amazing realtor and even better person.

"Emily Chappell was a pleasure to work with! She was a true professional and made sure she knew what we were looking for in our search. She listened to our wants and needs and showed us houses that fell within our outlined requirements and budget. House hunting in the past has been somewhat draining and stressful, but working with Emily made everything so much more enjoyable and exciting. She was great at setting up showings that fit our schedule and made us feel super safe and comfortable during Covid-19. Emily was always accessible and answered any and all questions that we had whether we reached out on weekdays or the weekends.
I am so glad that we worked with Emily because she worked very hard to ensure we found a house that we really loved. The entire process from start to finish was seamless and Emily answered all of our questions with accuracy and in a timely manner. Emily knows the Rhode Island area and was a true professional.

We recently purchased a property in Middletown that was a complex transaction for several factors. We had the good fortune of having Michele Mullowney as our broker. Michele handled the entire process flawlessly from start to finish during the Covid-19 pandemic which was no easy task. Michele has a great local knowledge of that market and is a tireless worker. She was very easy to reach and communicate with. I would recommend Michele to anyone looking for a home in the Newport/Middletown market.
Regards,
Paul Campbell."
