Letters to Bob

Sold a Property

Bob marketed our two-family home in Somerville. He conducted a thorough appraisal phase, researched comparables in great detail, consulted with other brokers, and helped us set the most appropriate asking price.
We live about an hour outside of the city and he helped us get many things taken care of without us needing to be present, including arranging for a contractor to address a few things that needed improving.
Bob is very knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate and does a great job of using technology to help facilitate the process. We recommend him highly. K.S.

Sold a Property

Libby and I could not have been happier with the services Bob provided or the results he achieved on our behalf.
I have never met anyone as skilled at his or her particular profession or as motivated to do a job thoroughly and well. I give Bob the highest possible recommendation. B. R., Esq.

Sold a Property

Bob Filene was persistent, courteous, had creative ideas, and was tolerant of the problem of dealing with me at a distance (owner lived in Virginia).
He was recommended to me by another Realtor. I recommend him to others. C. H.

Purchased a Property

I want to thank you for the professional handling, Bob. It is not often I get a satellite telephone communication from my real estate broker while on vacation in the Caribbean.
You are truly diligent and I intend to utilize your services for any future purchases in the Cambridge area. F. W. J.

Sold and Bought a Property

Bob Filene from Coldwell Banker has helped me with two of my recent real estate transactions. He was recommended to me by a friend and neighbor, who has also used his services repeatedly as a very responsible and resourceful Real Estate Agent.
Indeed he proved that in my case.
After talking to me for less than an hour, he was able to seek out just the right location and setting from among dozens of available condominiums despite the fact that my desired conditions were pretty exclusive.
No endless visits to places you would never consider. Over the past several years I was involved in other real estate transactions for myself and both my children.
The experience then made me feel that those agents work for themselves and try to take all kinds of cuts and easy ways when they serve you.
Those transactions ended up eventually by finding the right place by ourselves...., or selling under inappropriate pressure at a loss.
Bob Filene has a completely different attitude. He is smart, pays attention to all details, searches out information hardly obtainable by the client, keeps his word and is committed to the clients' interest throughout the whole process.
His expertise and knowledge brings a special value to his clients. I recommend him without reservation.
