Marie Presti is a knowledgeable realtor with the whole package team behind her. Her group not only provides the realtor interaction, but provides lists of preferred lendors, lawyers, inspectors, and all sorts of contractors who you can trust to do their jobs effectively. Home buying has so many steps and considerations, so it was important to me to hire for that full team backing. Marie helped me with a competitive bid against all cash and then a winning bid at 40k under asking, showing she can adjust strategy and provide guidance that's in your interest.

Broker Associate, REALTOR®
In Italian, presto means fast—and award-winning Realtor® Marie Presti lives up to that name. From coordinating staging to navigating complex negotiations, she delivers results efficiently, always with a personal touch. Known for going “the extra block,” Marie has even hosted housewarming gatherings for her clients—often cooking herself (Italian cuisine is her specialty). For more than 25 years, Marie has been a trusted advocate for buyers and sellers across Greater Boston. She brings a proven track record of success, from first-time home purchases to multi-million-dollar sales. In the past five years alone, she has sold over 130 properties and helped clients purchase more than $57 million in real estate. With a background spanning finance, marketing, sales, and education, Marie offers a strategic, well-rounded perspective that consistently adds value. Deeply rooted in her community, Marie is actively involved in organizations including the Newton Historical Society, Rotary Club, Charles River Chamber of Commerce, and Newton Women’s Forum. She has also taught more than 150 courses through local community education programs, reinforcing her reputation as both a market expert and educator. At her core, Marie believes real estate is about relationships. Many of her clients return time and again, drawn to her thoughtful guidance during life’s transitions—whether it’s divorce, remarriage, growing families, or major relocations. Having navigated her own personal and professional challenges, Marie brings a level of empathy and insight that sets her apart.
Marie was so helpful throughout the process of finding a home. If I had questions, she was quick to respond to them; if there was something I didn't understand, she was always happy to hop on the phone for a quick conversation. This was my first time buying a home, so her expertise and patient guidance and explanations were very helpful! I felt very supported by Marie and her team throughout the whole process.
Marie stepped in and immediately got our property ready for market. She coordinated painting and staging on a very tight timeline, arranged beautiful professional photography and video, and had the home launched in about two weeks. We received an offer before the first open house and ultimately sold for $10,000 over asking. She also helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue during the transaction and kept everything moving smoothly. We were very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend her and The Presti Group team.
