Pinnacle Residential Properties Provides Real Estate Service to Wellesley, Weston and Needham

Testimonials

"I give the highest praise and recommendation to the real estate professionals at Pinnacle Residential Properties. I have given unconditional references to many friends and acquaintances who find themselves involved now or in the future with real estate transactions. There are three elements that are important to me in any professional, but particularly in a real estate professional. Those elements are honesty, knowledge and persistence on my behalf."

"Pinnacle and Elaine in particular, helped us with pricing, timing and expectations. It didn’t hurt that Elaine is often quoted in the news as an expert on real estate in the western suburbs and publishes trends and activity reports in the Wellesley Townsman. She is well known as thoroughly honest, informed and identified as the leader in residential sales in the area."

"Knowledge is a given with Elaine and her staff. These are accomplished professionals with proven track records. They ask the right questions, gather the best comparables to create the most favorable environment for their client, be it seller or buyer. These people are easy to recommend."

"Finally, persistence is a trademark of the Pinnacle team. A little story about after Elaine Bannigan sold our house (we were downsizing) and she took us to search for a condominium. We went to an area to see a number of units. Nearby there was a "for sale by owner" sign. Elaine said we should see that one, too. Upon viewing all the units and noting that the condo sold by owner was the same and at a much lower price, Elaine was persistent in helping us to secure it quickly. All I needed to make an offer was a check, which of course I was without. Elaine felt it was such a great buy for us and, always prepared, wrote the check for me to bind the "for sale by owner" condo (of course I paid her back!)."

"This real estate firm treats the client as a friend and looks to do what is necessary to make the arrangement work well for all parties. They are a win/win organization which I will continue to refer to all I know are in need of a Pinnacle real estate experience."

Mark Mullaney, Wayland, MA

Dan Shannon, Wellesley, MA

"For my husband and me, buying our home was an exciting and an emotional experience. Your real estate agent is your front line advocate who needs to maintain clear thinking during the entire process. They are the “best of the best.” They listened as we discussed what’s important to us in a home then offered solid advice and guidance. Experienced, diligent, and completely reliable, they earned our trust. If we had to do it all over again, undoubtedly, we’d work with Pinnacle Residential Properties."

"Our Pinnacle Realtor is an exceptional real estate broker, possessing a rare combination of abilities.…particularly in facilitating, solving problems and getting around selling barriers."

V. Foley, Wellesley, MA

"With a deluge of real estate agencies after us we chose wisely. There were plenty of 'sticky' and important issues requiring prompt, wise decisions and every single issue was handled calmly, competently, tactfully and completely. Our Pinnacle agent was always available to answer questions and to check the house - a relief to us living 50 minutes from Wellesley. A 'gem' as a person and professional - It was a comfort, pleasure and fun."

P. Parsons, Duxbury, MA

"Just a follow-up note to you about how much Mom and I appreciate all that Pinnacle did to make the sale of her home in Wellesley go so smoothly and quickly. I feel fortunate to have found Pinnacle because not only were you all very professional, but went above and beyond with helping to do some staging, arranging for the removal of large appliances from the basement and accommodating my mother's schedule. It was very difficult for my mother to leave her home of 40+ years, her friends, her town. But you all were sensitive to that and helped us in any way you could. Thank you very much. I would highly recommend Pinnacle and you can quote me on that!"

“Our Pinnacle broker was terrific throughout our home buying experience from beginning to end. Starting with 6-hour days spent in the car with my wife and 4-month old, through the bidding, negotiation and inspection process, all the way to close, Shea was always patient, thoughtful, and a terrific listener. Most importantly, she was focused entirely on our needs, taking as much time as we needed and allowing us to come to our own conclusions. She is intellectually curious, always looking for more information and following up beyond expectations. I can’t recommend her strongly enough.”

“Having worked with many brokers in different cities, we found our Pinnacle agent to be extraordinarily professional and the best we have ever met. Her approach is comprehensive and analytical. She listens, and she is exceptionally personable and understanding. she balances the emotional aspects of home sales and purchases with superb attention to technical details and professional integrity. That combination is unmistakably rare in the most difficult of businesses. She also sold our home, and we learned of her expertise in marketing. She was absolutely superb in bringing in the best professionals in home plans, brochure development, newspaper targeting, photography and web-based broadcasting. she has an artistic eye to make the best of dimensions and presentations. Our Pinnacle Realtor is a phenomenal broker who is backed by her wealth of knowledge in business. With her MBA from one of the best graduate schools, she adapted her knowledge to real defined and quantifiable differences in her work ethic and performance. Her professionalism is unparalleled. She is recommended with the highest of marks.”

“Having been in the real estate business myself for 7 years, I had insider knowledge, contacts and experience to which few consumers are privy. So when it came to finding the right home for my wife and me, I knew exactly whom I wanted to have work for us on our behalf. Our Pinnacle agent has a reputation for honesty and integrity. Coupled with a glowing personality and extensive experience, I believe her to be the best broker in Boston. Not only was she available at a moment's notice to show us a home, her experience in negotiation helped us to buy the perfect home at the right price. I cannot say enough about what an incredible person and Realtor she is, and I know my wife and I will continue to use her throughout our home buying lives. Thanks for all your help!”

“Working with our Pinnacle agent was a pleasure. She gave us great advice about the area, but most importantly, listened carefully to our criteria.

“My husband and I both work fulltime and we have two young children, so buying a house can be a rather stressful and unpleasant experience. This is our 3rd home, and in the past we've worked with realtors who were either a bit pushy for our taste, or who didn't provide enough direction (leaving all of the hard work of evaluating towns and neighborhoods to us). Our Pinnacle agent was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone interested in purchasing a home in the area. She was extremely patient, always on time, and provided detailed, accurate information without being pushy. She gave us her expert opinion whenever we asked, which was often. I'd also add that she is a delightful person with an excellent sense of humor (which I suspect comes in handy in her line of work). She showed us houses from Lexington down to Westwood, and we wound up finding a place that we love in Needham. I attribute a lot of our success in finding a wonderful home to our Pinnacle agent, who made the whole process a great deal more enjoyable and rewarding than we ever could have expected.”  

Jennifer and Rob Edwards, Needham, MA

“Our Pinnacle agent is amazing. She knows the area and the real estate market extremely well, and spent lots of time patiently educating us, and more importantly, allowing us to educate ourselves by seeing lots and lots of houses over the course of many months. When we finally bought our house, we were very comfortable that it was the right decision for us. Throughout the process, she was the one person we could always count on to give us good advice and the straight story. We would recommend her to anyone, without hesitation.”

Monica and Jordan Franceshini, Wellesley, MA

“We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your help and advice during the search and purchase process. We don't need to tell you that we began by just casually looking at potentially buying a new home and we knew that your time could have been spent more productively with serious buyers. That said, you could have not been more helpful to us. You were always available, very knowledgeable about the real estate market and the community, and extraordinarily patient with us as we tried to figure out just what we wanted. It was a pleasure to visit the tens and tens of houses with you even though we decided not to buy any of them because of your always friendly demeanor and assistance in deciding whether a particular location was really going to meet our needs. When we finally found the house that would work for us, the purchase process was not the easiest but, once again, you made what could have been a very difficult negotiation run remarkably smoothly. You were a trusted part of our house hunting team and a true professional during the entire process. If we are ever asked to recommend a real estate professional in the area you will be top of mind. Thank you again for all your help.”

During our first meeting, they supplied us with a wealth of resources about the towns in which we were interested, and had an in-depth discussion with us about our priorities and preferences. They knew exactly what we were looking for, which was reflected in the houses they showed us. They made what could have been a painful hunting process in a tough market efficient and fun.”

“Working with oru Pinnacle broker was such a pleasure. We’ve worked with numerous brokers, but what made them different was their sincere interest in understanding what we wanted and finding the right home for us. We never once felt that they were just trying to close the deal and move to the next client. Since they have both lived in town for many years, we felt that they really understood the community, described details of specific neighborhoods and were able to connect us to some great service providers, which made the transition to our new home smooth and fun!”

"Buying a house in Wellesley while living in London seemed like a difficult process to us but our Pinnacle agent made it not only easy but fun. She provided us with detailed information on a selection of houses that matched our criteria, including personally measuring the walking distance time to the train station!

When I arrived in Wellesley to view houses, the trip was perfectly organized by our Pinnacle broker. Within two days we made an offer on the perfect home, and flew back to London. She professionally handled all components of the transaction, keeping us fully informed on the status of our purchase and providing all the documentation needed to remotely complete the transaction. She is an outstanding real estate professional. Her honesty, sense of humor and sound advice guided us effortlessly."

“Our Pinnacle Realtor was a true partner in our efforts to sell our home in Wellesley, and, after 30 years, help realize our dream to relocate to Cape Cod. Initially, She and Pinnacle astutely advised us to not overprice our house, and instead, seek a realistic market price. To that end, our agent used her expertise to help stage our house to maximize its value. As a result, our house sold in three weeks. Selling a house can be a stressful experience. she was a consummate professional and a consistently calming influence, who provided expert advice that helped ease our anxieties. Our Pinnacle Realtor is a terrific broker, and equally important, a quality, caring person, who can be counted on to steer a real estate transaction to a successful conclusion. We treasured our successful working experience with her and highly recommend her and Pinnacle Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Wellesley/Needham area.”
