“Mary Beth arranged the staging for my condo and coordinated the sell too.

She is very professional, diligent, dependable, has a classy taste in picking the right pieces and putting the personal touch. She cares what she does. Such a trustworthy, and pleasant person to work with. Thank you Mary Beth.”

“Mary Beth was amazing to work with during and after our process! We were first time homebuyers and had no idea what we were walking into, but Mary Beth was able to help guide us through the process and connect us with the right people and was always available to answer our (many) questions. We had a nightmare of a mortgage application/closing process due to our lender, but Mary Beth was able to connect all parties and ensure our offer accepted and eventually closed on! Highly recommended!”

“Mary Beth is a top notch real estate specialist - she knows the Boston market very well, works hard to get you what you want, is a great person to be around, and will not put you in a position of a poor decision. If in Mary Beth's hands, you can be assured every aspect is covered, whether she's helping you buy or sell. Or both! She got us our dream home and sold our previous home in a matter of 13 days. In Boston, there are a lot of agents out there. If you want to be well informed and confident in your agent, Mary Beth is the way to go. We will not be moving for many years to come, but if and when we do, she is our go to without question and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Mary Beth is a fabulous realtor! We had been looking to buy in the Boston area for 3 years until we met Mary Beth. We had our initial meeting with her on a Monday and had an offer accepted on our dream home by Friday. She has great connections within the Boston real estate world, which helps clients get sneak peeks before key properties are on the market. She's committed, punctual, helpful and a ton of fun along the way. I highly recommend Mary Beth and would use her again without hesitation.”

“Mary Beth is the consummate professional. She is extremely responsive, hard working and diligent as a buyers agent. As her client, I feel extremely informed on all aspects of a property and deal which has allowed me to make decisions I am comfortable with. Mary Beth takes the time to understand what is important to her clients and spends our time like she would spend her own time... only on properties that make sense and with zero pressure! I would highly recommend Mary Beth for your next Boston home purchase!”

“Simply the best! I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Mary Beth Kelly and Donahue Realty Group. I was a first-time homebuyer with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. I met with a couple of realtors before Mary Beth, but  knew instantly that she was the one for me.  From day 1, MBK was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what I was looking for. She truly listened to what I wanted and gently reminded me if I was going astray which was much appreciated.  You feel as if you are her only client, I don't know how she does it. All throughout the negotiations and closing MBK was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen.

I never felt forced to make an offer and when I finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, MBK walked me through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that I write a letter to the sellers to explain why I thought they should choose me. That letter got me the place. I couldn't be happier with my experience and would recommend her to anyone.”

“As a new Green Card holder, I was keen to buy my first home in the US but was having no luck. I decided to team up with Mary Beth and within a week we had found a fantastic property in Back Bay, replete with parking and gorgeous river views. MB and the team shepherded me through a hectic round of offers over the course of a weekend and just four days after first viewing the condo, I was ‘sale agreed’! Throughout the process I always felt like their top priority and a valued client although it was our first time partnering together and we were up against/operating in a competitive and busy marketplace. I would not hesitate to work with her again!”

“I'm an Architectural Designer who worked with Mary-Beth Kelly on behalf of the homeowner of this particular condo. The homeowner lives in CA, and had originally wanted to renovate the apartment for her own use, but ultimately decided not to move to Boston, hence leading to a decision to sell the unit.

It's going to be hard for me not to gush, but Mary-Beth was exceptionally helpful in the sale of this condo once my client had decided not to move into it. Working closely with real estate broker Duncan Donahue, Mary-Beth helped my client decide on the scope of the renovations required to bring the best return on the resale of this unit, which was critical for my client. She also handled nearly every single detail of the staging of this property, from the selection of the staging company, to the choice of the furniture and artwork to use, to placement of lighting and pillows.

But most crucially, Mary-Beth, again working closely with broker Duncan Donahue, helped to set a price point for the offering of this property which took into consideration market trends, as well as comparable sales and listings of other condos on the market. The end result was an all-cash, over-offer, signed P&S agreement within a week of the property being listed. Mary-Beth and Duncan Donahue then tirelessly shepherded the whole process of inspections and other matters to bring everything to a successful closing about six weeks later.

So thank you, Mary Beth, for all your hard, hard work on behalf of my client!!”

“Mary Beth helped me with my search of the South End and South Boston. After returning home to Boston after being away for 8 years MB was a huge help in getting me up to speed on the market. She was trustworthy, honest, responsive, and very hardworking. She did not waste our time looking at properties that I was not interested in but rather listened to my needs and honed in on some excellent choices. I would not hesitate to recommend MB. She will take great care of you!”

Fred

“Mary Beth is a huge resource for anyone looking to buy or sell. My fiancé and I met Mary Beth after looking to buy in Boston for about a year and after we had lost out on many bids. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable and persistent in helping us find our home. She listened to our needs and offered sound advice on next steps throughout the entire process. She is a leader in the Boston real estate market.”

Dan D.

“Mary Beth and Duncan are a superb team. They helped me with the sale of my 2BR condo on Beacon Street in Back Bay and were able to get an above asked offer with less than a week on the market. Mary Beth has an incredible taste level. I can tell she has a fashion background. She was able to quickly identify how we should stage my vacant condo and what furniture and accessories would make it look its best. Her attention to detail and customer service is amazing. I never had to worry about a thing. Highly recommend MBK and Donahue Realty Group to list your property. She will take care of you and get top $ for your home.”
