Testimonials:


Mike helped us through three separate transactions, both buying, and selling. In each instance, he went well above and beyond. We received constant updates on our status, and even friendly reminders on important dates. Mike also provided us with detailed information and history on houses, and their locations. This is something we would not have found ourselves, or with another realtor, and proved useful in many situations. We can't recommend Mike and the entire Homes by Lois team highly enough.

- Forrest and Angela



We were extremely happy working with Mike when we bought our home. His familiarity with the local market, coupled with his tactical advice, made for a painless home-buying experience. We can't recommend him highly enough!

- Meredith



Mike Hickey was an extremely professional and reliable real estate agent to work with. He was incredibly thorough and had most of my property questions and concerns answered the same day or next day. Mike always went above and beyond in order to find my family the perfect home. He was a pleasure to work with on the buying side and then the selling side, and I always knew he was giving 110%.

Dear New Home Buyers and Agents:

I was neither asked to write nor compensated for this letter. It reflects my genuine experience and satisfaction.

As the first resident of Apple Meadow Farm (118 Lexington Road), I am writing to share my appreciation and respect for the development team and agents of the property. They are remarkable on many fronts.

The beauty of the property is evident. Behind the scenes, though, is a team that has worked for years to make this special property a reality – from the developer committed to a site appropriate to the rare quality of the Lincoln community, to an architect inspired by the site and its history, to an agent team unfailingly driven by service. Collectively, they have done it right. It is why I purchased.

Moreover, the team also does what is right at each turn. Real estate transactions, by their nature, are complex and stressful. They succeed only when teams fully dedicated to delivering excellence actually follow through. This one has from the highest levels to the final moments.

Like most considering this property, I have significant professional obligations and high expectations for performance. I was able to conduct business travel, coordinate an out-of-state move and arrive to my new home with confidence because of the people here on the ground at Apple Meadow Farm.

Should you choose to buy this unique property, welcome home. You are in good hands.

Sincerely,

PD


Dear Lois -

We wanted to pass on our thanks and appreciation for all of the work Michael Hickey did for us this past spring. As first time home buyers, Mike made the process enjoyable, exciting and fun. We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, sincere, hard-working and patient real estate agent.

Mike did an amazing job of narrowing our search to a few select towns, provided insight on a large selection of homes in those towns, offered guidance on how to refine our selections, and then thoroughly researched our top choices. Once we found a home we were seriously interested in, Mike went to great lengths and performed extensive research to find out every piece of information and history he could about the property. We always felt like we had Mike’s full attention and assistance – he returned calls or e-mails rapidly, and on the (Sunday) night of submitting our final offer, he actually drove out to meet us very late in the evening to sign and submit final paperwork.

From day one, we felt that Mike was looking out for our best interests and we always felt that he was fully committed to our search, going above and beyond to ensure the process was as stress-free as possible.

We highly recommend using Lois and Mike purchasing a new home. The knowledge they bring to the process is invaluable and in the end helped us secure our dream home.

Sincerely,
Kristen and Brian



Hi Lois,

Thank you for the effort in helping sell my house. The support by Mike Hickey was outstanding. He provided help and support which was far beyond normal expectations.

-Eli



Hi Lois,

I contacted you ages ago about the barn on Lexington Road in Lincoln and you put me in contact with Mike Hickey. He’s worked with me for over a year to find a place and we recently closed on ... that lake front bungalow in Wayland.

I just wanted you to know how great my experience working with Mike was. As you know it was a complicated property and not a huge commission. Yet he went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. From previewing countless properties to dealing with all the oddities of the lake house deal… to doing hours of leg work at the building department, conservation commission and board of health… to just having the patience and wherewithal to see it through.

I’m so happy that I had Mike on my team during the whole process. He is a great asset to your team. I hope to steer as many referrals to Mike as I can. And work with him again in the future. It was a real pleasure.

Thank you so much and best wishes,

Skip




Dear Lois and Mike,

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. Together, you two were consummate professionals throughout the entire process.

We really enjoyed all of our interactions with you - from the negotiations on the purchase of the new house to the final elements of our sale closing. One of the reasons we decided to go with you two, in fact probably the key reason, was our belief that we would get better personalized attention, extraordinary service, and attention to detail. And this was true in spades.

Your advice and guidance was always timely, accurate and extremely helpful.
Your market knowledge and insights were spot on.
Your willingness to go the extra mile and guide us through the whole challenging process of staging and selling our home kept us sane.
Your patience, consistency and perseverance were much appreciated!
And your professionalism, courtesy, extra effort, and integrity were second to none.

It really was great working with you both during our whole buy and sale process, and we just wanted to thank you again for everything.

- David



Dear Lois & Mike,

Thank you for all of the time, effort, expertise, and guidance you contributed that enabled us to purchase our first house. Specifically, thank you for:

  • spending extra time explaining the myriad of real estate processes and procedures to us as first-time buyers;
  • privately (and patiently) showing us the same house twice in 24 hours;
  • facilitating, delivering, and most importantly, advocating for our offer (one of five offers during the house's first week for sale); and
  • ensuring a smooth close through your own efforts and those professionals in your referral network.

Quite simply Mike and Lois, you were great--please expect many referrals from us in the future!

Dear Lois -

I wanted to thank you both for all of your help and hard work in your successful efforts to help us sell our home. When we interviewed numerous Realtors to represent our home we were not sure what to look for. It became apparent after meeting you both that you were the right choice for us. You came prepared, you knew the market, the town, and had a well prepared and aggressive sales strategy. Your experience and confidence shown through.

The market we sold in was the toughest I have ever seen. I have bought and sold 4 homes and had never seen such a challenging and stagnant market. As we know now, this was largely due to the widespread struggles in the US economy and that everyone had been effected by it during the past 24 months. Regardless of the challenge this posed you never wavered from your commitment to sell our home. You worked extremely hard to market our home, leveraging relationships you had with papers and real-estate publications, using Facebook and the web, and holding numerous open houses.

In the end we were able to make an offer that we received work due to your flexibility and the fact that you generally cared about what was good for us as your client and as a family. It's rare that I see that level of commitment and integrity in any line of business!

You were both the consummate professionals, masters of your craft, and generally caring and wonderful people to work with.

I very much appreciate all you did for us through out this process. If it wasn't for you my family wouldn't be in our new dream home today. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to sell a home. I can't imagine there is anyone better than the two of you out there!

Best regards,

Adam DeMichele



Lois,

Kim and I enjoyed our too-brief chat this afternoon.
We have to do it more often..
Kim commented how professional, knowledgeable, and personable/enjoyable you
both are.

With appreciation,

Dear Lois,

I want to thank you for all your assistance and hard work on the sale of my brother's house in Sudbury. Since this was an estate sale and I am located outside of Massachusetts, it was particularly comforting to have a local broker on whom I could rely. Your assistance obtaining estimates and vendor services to address the deferred maintenance was invaluable. You were incredibly responsive with every request and always ready to help when the need arose to meet a vendor at the house to schedule work. Your professional attention to details and your negotiating skills combined to achieve an outstanding result. Thank you for a job well done.

All the best in your future endeavors.

Maureen



Dear Lois --

I wanted to follow up to formally thank you for all you both did over the past six months to help us sell our house. From the beginning, we needed not just a sales broker, but advisors really -- a team who could spot problem areas and recommend, as well as help effect, change. A team who could lend advice, but at the same time do so impartially, and always with the clearest understanding that it was our interests which came first and not the other way around. And, of course, given the unique circumstances governing the sale itself, we especially needed a team that was as patient as they were persistent, and who would close a less than exciting deal with as much fervor as they would a much bigger deal. On these points and many, many others, you both fit the bill and then some. A huge thank you!

You shall go highly recommended to friends, family, and colleagues. With luck, we'll have an opportunity to work with you again after we relocate back east.

Best,
Seamus



Dear Lois,

Now that we've closed on the sale of 28 Moore Road, I just wanted to take a few moments to thank you for all you've done.

From helping us get the house ready for the market, to working through the inspection "punch list", and every step in between, you consistently gave us first rate service. You followed through on everything you said you would do in your proposal, returned every phone call promptly, and went out of your way to keep us informed. Most importantly, you gave us clear, expert advice at every turn. The results speak for themselves! Tracy and I couldn't be more pleased.

Thank you,
Jim L.



Dear Lois,

When my husband came home and told us that we had to move to Colorado thoughts of despair engulfed my head. Five children and a dog, packing, looking for a new home and more importantly selling my existing house was overwhelming. My neighbor suggested I give you a call.

After interviewing several very experienced realtors, some of whom I knew extremely well, my husband and I knew you were the one who should sell our house! We could tell that you knew the market, understood what buyers were looking for and knew how to negotiate a deal.

You and/or your staff were here for all our showings, always making sure to highlight the numerous upgrades and features of my house, and exhibiting a classy and professional style to potential buyers.

We have been and continue to be impressed with your professionalism, marketing skills and negotiation tactics. Our home sold in a timely fashion and we received a fair price.

I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a stress free sale at the best possible price.

Sincerely,


Denise & Todd Donaldson

Working with Lois is always a pleasure. Fast to respond, accurate on market analysis, attends to details including beautiful staging of homes. We've worked with Lois and her staff on selling permitted land to renovated homes and she always delivers. On the buy side, Lois has kept us up to date when we've requested analyses on different areas of the market. Lois is a broker unlike others in that she is the consumate professional and is doing this as a business, not a hobby. We look forward to working with Lois for year to come.

Serendipity seems to describe it well.

I was sitting at the bar of the Paparazzi restaurant in Concord waiting for a friend to join me. Primary topic on my mind was the need to sell our house in Sudbury and to finalize our planned move to the Atlanta area. I had been seriously considering an assisted for sale by owner approach. As luck would have it, this interesting looking gentleman sat next to me and after a little while we were in deep conversation. Long story short, he convinced me that I should get an evaluation from Lois Krasilovsky, of whom he spoke very highly.

Still doubtful of the wisdom of paying a hefty commission fee to sell a house, I decided to get a market analysis by Lois and some of her competition. Lois’ professionalism and clear command of the market were obvious from the beginning. This, when combined with a better understanding of the marketing expenditures associated with selling a house, and the time and effort commitment which we would not be able to make, the glamour and potential of sale by owner was diminishing.

With Lois’ encouragement we aimed high and settled on a desired sale price. She and her team had us under a strict “Chachki” removal program whereby we eliminated all clutter from the house and prepared it for presentation. We had open houses, and many individual visitors. Some simply drove by and decided not to come in, others spent hours. Throughout the process Lois and her staff communicated well and gave us as much advance notice as possible.

When, in just over a month “the” offer came in, Lois switched gears from marketer to closer. As it happens, the buyers were being represented by a broker from Lois’ office and this allowed open dialogue, with all parties collaboratively focused on finalizing the deal.

In the final analysis, working with Lois was an excellent decision. We got the price we wanted, timing could not have been better coinciding with our Son’s graduation from L-S, and the whole process was as smooth as I can imagine.

My Wife and I can, without equivocation, recommend Lois and her team.

Dear Lois,

I just finished reading the marketing proposal you prepared for me. What an incredibly professional job. You are amazing!

Dear Lois,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your exemplary service and commitment to me and my family in our relocation to Massachusetts. We spent an exhausting period of time covering many towns west of Boston until we discovered the home and community that met our needs. Your consistent efforts, outstanding market knowledge, advice on purchasing a newly constructed home were paramount to attaining our relocation goals. We appreciated your persistent follow through throughout the transaction process along with your kindness and thoughtfulness for our family. We have found Hopkinton to be a great community. The girls are extremely happy at school and I proudly am coaching two basketball teams.

Please know that I am grateful to you for all the assistance and advice you gave to Kevin Nolan, my CFO, and his family with their relocation from Maryland. They truly had found their dream home! Margaret appreciated your support, confidence and advice after their move when Kevin suddenly passed away.

Please know that I will continue to refer any relocating families to you with confidence.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Victor Munger

Lois and Staff,

Thank you so much for your caring, professional support in the sale of our home (and near purchase of another). In all of our seven home purchases / sales, thru the years, nobody has topped your team in our book. It was a true pleasure working with you and we'll certainly pass your name along if the need ever arises. Thank you and please look us up if you're ever in Vail!

Ray and Laura Lee Verlinde


Dear Lois:

Chris and I wanted to thank you all very much for your assistance and hard work in helping us find and complete the purchase what truly is a dream house for us. It is an exquisite property and we can't be more pleased. Our daughters love the pool!!

Again, many thanks for everything during this process. It was a pleasure working with all of you.

Best,
Mark and Chris Solakian


Dear Lois:

We would like to take a minute to thank you for helping us find our home in Sudbury. We appreciate the countless hours that you spent with us in search of the perfect home to raise our family. Your perseverance paid off as we could not have found a better home - we are extremely happy here!! We also want to thank you for your hard work selling our condo in Wayland. Your team made the process of buying and selling a home an enjoyable experience and you would be our only recommendation to a prospective home buyer/seller.

Dear Lois:

"Lois is one of the most knowledgeable new construction Realtors in the area. Her effective communication skills and enthusiastic approach have proven results"

Gary Ruping - Ruping Builders


Dear Lois:

Lois was the instrumental player in the process of building our dream home. From the initial planning stages to the final touches she intelligently guided us through the immense number of decisions involved in new construction. Lois got answers to all our questions, whether day or night and was committed to our satisfaction with the process and ultimately our house. As a sellers broker, Lois didn't technically represent us, we think of her as "our" broker and we have enthusiastically recommended her to all of our friends.

Katie Willard / John Virant


Dear Lois:

Both Jane & I would like to extend our sincerest appreciation for the professionalism and attention to detail you provided during the purchase of 40 Moore Rd and the sale of our home at 144 Moore Rd. I can assure you, we will recommend "Lois Krasilovsky" to anyone whether buying or selling a home.

David & Jane Parsons, Sudbury


Dear Lois:

Lois' knowledge of the new construction process made our purchase go much smoother than we thought possible. She took the time to make us understand all of our decisions and their impact. JP Sudbury, MA


Dear Lois:

"We can't thank Lois enough, her knowledge and follow-through of the entire construction process made our purchase go much easier than we thought possible. She took the time and walked us through each phase of building a new home.

This letter is to recommend Lois Krasilovsky of RE/MAX. Six months before I wanted to put my house on the market, I called Lois for her opinions and ideas. She came to the house, walked through it carefully with me and then came to me the next day with a list of some small suggestions for preparing the property for a quick and uncomplicated sale. She also did a market study to determine the price. Knowing her experience, I followed her directions. When the time came to put the house on the market, she did another market survey to be sure that the price was accurate. After some minor negotiations, which were handled quickly and professionally, my house was sold on the first weekend for the full asking price.

Besides all of the paperwork, phone calls and appointments being handled in the most professional manner, Lois was there with phone numbers and recommendations for workmen and other professionals to help me along the way and through the process. I highly recommend her to you.

Sincerely,
Margaret Richardson


Dear Lois

We would like to thank you for a job well done. You represented the sellers on the house we purchased in Sudbury. As buyers, we appreciated your availability, your patience and your willingness to show the property so many times to us and to the other members of our family. You helped us obtain the extremely attractive financing that made the deal possible. After our offer was accepted by your sellers, we needed to sell our home.

We were so impressed by the way you represented your sellers; that we chose you to represent us, too, as a seller's broker. We had interviewed four excellent brokers, including yourself. We asked each to suggest an appropriate selling price. Although your suggested price was not the highest, we chose you because it was clear that you understood the market. Our house sold quickly within half percent of your suggested price. On each of our recent real estate transactions, we have never dealt with such an experienced real estate professional. Our best wishes for your continued success.

Sincerely,

Dr. Harvey and Barbara Deitel
