Anne M. Kennedy

Real Estate is a Marathon, not a Sprint!

What do Clients Say?

Anne helped us both sell our home and purchase our "forever" home. Anne did an impeccable job coordinating and showcasing our home to its best potential, resulting in multiple offers over asking. For what is generally a stressful undertaking, she made it almost effortless for us. She simultaneously guided us on the home-buying process, sending off-market listings and giving us an advantage as buyers. She was incredibly thorough with each showing we went to, asking detailed questions about the properties, and we always felt confident that she had our best interest at heart. Not only is Anne incredibly knowledgeable, but her connections to all things home and real estate-related run deep. We had odds and ends to tidy up before listing our property, and a few things we wanted done at our new property. She had connections for anything we needed and streamlined the process. Anne is a wonderful person who will pay attention to your needs and make sure you land where you are happy and comfortable. We can't recommend her enough and plan to keep in touch with her!

Anne is one of the best real estate agents we have ever worked with. She is a true professional in every sense of the word, with many years of experience behind her. Her attention to detail and level of dedication is outstanding. Every question we had or query that needed clarification, was always answered in a timely fashion - there was no such thing as putting us on hold - this level of responsiveness was incredible. Preparing our house for market, and her strategy for marketing it, was expertly executed. Anne was obviously successful, as we had an immediate buyer, with several back up offers in line. Not only was Anne very well-versed in all the intricacies of selling our home, she was also well versed in dealing with other real estate agents and potential buyers. Anne’s commitment to satisfying her clients needs, and her resoluteness in securing a successful sale, far exceeded our expectations. Hence, we would highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Anne Kennedy as our real estate agent during the purchase of our new single-family home and the sale of our townhouse. Anne has been an absolute superstar throughout this entire journey. Her expertise, attention to detail, and personal touch has made all the difference in our real estate experience. From the very beginning, Anne demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local market, providing us with valuable insights and guidance. What set Anne apart are not just her professionalism, but the genuine care and commitment she has demonstrated. Throughout the often lengthy and complex process of buying and selling, Anne was there every step of the way. She answered our questions promptly, alleviated our concerns, and consistently went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. Anne is not just an agent to us; she feels more like a trusted family member and friend. Her warm and approachable demeanor made it easy for us to communicate openly and honestly. It's rare to find someone in the real estate industry who cares as deeply about their clients' well-being as Anne does. In addition to her knowledge and exceptional service, Anne's attention to detail was impeccable. Her meticulous approach was a testament to her commitment to excellence. We can't express our gratitude enough for all she has done for us. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of real estate services.

Anne Kennedy helped us find our first home in Brookline last year. Working with her was absolutely fantastic. Anne is a stellar guide to the real estate market in Greater Boston. She is pragmatic, very hard-working, and straightforward in her dealings. She has years of experience helping people buy and sell their homes, knows the ins and outs of the process, and has deep connections in the community that she does not hesitate to use to help you get the property you want. As first-time buyers, Anne counseled us throughout the process, helping us figure out the various pieces that go into buying and owning a home. We took our time to decide and Anne accompanied us to umpteen viewings in Brookline and Newton over several months until we found something we liked. We were looking at the height of the seller's market, and after losing several bids, we got our home only because Anne got us a viewing a day before it came on the market and helped us move quickly to make an offer before the open house. Anne really goes out of the way to make sure you maximize your chances. Strongly recommend her as a realtor!

I am someone who was fortunate enough to be referred to Anne Kennedy for the sale of my home. I was overwhelmed with the amount of action items involved in this process. Anne’s knowledge and confidence know no bounds. These are the two most important qualities of a great real estate agent. Anne’s experience and access to information and the help involved with all things real estate is simply amazing! Anne’s record and honors as an agent confirm her status as a top number 1 real estate agent in Massachusetts. I can attest to the fact that it is all true. She will do everything she can to get you the best deal possible. I sold my house for more than the asking price. If you get the opportunity to work with the best why wouldn’t you? I highly and fully recommend Anne Kennedy to anyone buying or selling their property.
