TESTIMONIALS

“I can't say enough good things about Kenzo. I enjoyed working with him so much when buying my home in Newton that I used him again as a selling agent when my family transferred back to the Midwest for a job opportunity. He's honest, respectful, a constant communicator (which is paramount in this process), and extremely knowledgeable of the process and market. Most importantly, Kenzo has no problem telling you the difference between what you "could" do in any given situation, and what you "should" do in order to get the most value while simultaneously avoiding the morally-murky feeling that often accompanies an agent who doesn't know how to negotiate effectively... Bottom line is that Kenzo will be there from start to finish for whatever you need. Whether it's market guidance, staging suggestions, or in my case, literally getting his hands dirty because I'm out of town and he wants to make sure every part of my showing and sale proceeds flawlessly, you won't be disappointed. The highest praise I could give someone, in what is typically one of life's most stressful events, is that I trusted him enough to sit back, relax, and let him handle it. While this was admittedly difficult (my wife will certainly attest to my over-active ego and need to control everything...), I did, and I couldn't have been happier with the results." 

"We are first time home buyers, we had lot of questions and Kenzo was always there to answer any question that we had. Be it morning 8 AM or night 9 pm, he was always a message away. He is a great person to work with. In this competitive market, it's very important to have a realtor who has extensive field experience to build up strategies when putting down the offer. Kenzo was really innovative in putting down the offers with different techniques. Kenzo has a great team who can close on a house within a month. I would definitely recommend him to a friend." 

"Kenzo sold my condo over one weekend. He was extremely responsive and did a great job of navigating me through the inevitable twists and turns of a real estate transaction." 

"My husband and I were relocating to Boston from Atlanta and were put in touch with Kenzo through a national relocation service. Given our budget and commute considerations, Kenzo almost immediately suggested a condo in Watertown or a house in Waltham. Since we were new to the area, we were keen to look at other towns as well and Kenzo was supportive and arranged showings in the surrounding towns of Newton and Arlington as well. We soon realized that Kenzo's advice was well thought out and found a single-family home in Waltham that we really liked! Since we were first-time home buyers, the process of making an offer and a counter-offer was stressful but knowing that Kenzo had our best interests at heart made it that much easier. He always communicated with us in a timely manner and guided us through the home inspection and purchase and sale agreement with as much ease as possible. Kenzo is calm but firm and very professional, qualities we really appreciated. We enjoyed interacting with him and could not have had a smoother home buying experience. We highly recommend him!" 

"As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had an overall great experience working with Kenzo. Throughout the process, Kenzo consistently offered salient insights, was professional and considerate of our needs and opinions, and more than earned our trust. During our search, Kenzo oriented and familiarized us with the housing market, helped narrow down our numerous options, and provided suggestions based on our preferences that we had not originally considered. He even asked early in our search whether there were specific cultural aspects that would affect the type of homes we were interested in. All in all, great!" 

"We were selling my mother's home and it was an emotional journey for myself and my siblings. Kenzo was great about understanding when to move forward and when to back off. All of my siblings met him and were glad to have him on our side. Even down to the last minute, when at the closing the buyer wanted something moved out of the house, Kenzo called a colleague and was able to borrow a truck and remove the item" 

"When we finally found the home we wanted, Kenzo helped us put together a competitive and successful offer in which there were multiple bidders. At our closing, we learned from our real estate attorney that it was not common for the buyer's agent to show up at closing. However, Kenzo joined us and made sure to highlight and negotiate some of the issues we found in our walk through that had not been present during the home inspection." 

"Kenzo really helped us from day one all the way through to getting our keys. We highly recommend Kenzo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Simply put, Kenzo is the best. My boyfriend and I are currently in the process of closing on our very first condo and Kenzo has made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Yeah - I said both easy AND enjoyable and I mean it. In this market in this city, it's hard to think that house-hunting could become anything less than "oh my god – I want to rip my hair out-maybe i'll just stay a renter forever"... you're in good hands with Kenzo. He's patient - especially for us first time home buyers who quite literally know next to nothing about the process. He's kind. He's punctual and will always make himself available if you need to talk or have questions. He's honest and down to earth. He knows the market and the process SO well - I trust anything that comes out of that man's mouth. We made 4 offers before we had one accepted and Kenzo never lost faith, never got disheartened, and promised to "go to the ends of the earth to find us the perfect home." Then he followed through, all with a genuine smile. I know we are in good hands. When the time comes to sell and look for a new place, he's the guy I'll turn to for help. Consider yourself lucky to work with Kenzo and if you have the opportunity - take it."

"Kenzo was a true advocate on my and my husband's behalf to ensure that we were able to close on our home. He went above and beyond what I would have expected from an agent to ensure that every step of my real estate transaction progressed smoothly, and he proactively explored all potential solutions with me when problems arose. I could not have gotten through the process without him! My husband and I are both very grateful for Kenzo's time, effort, and energy, and we would certainly recommend him to others who are looking for housing in the Greater Boston area!"

"It has been a pleasure pulling this transaction together with you. It is always nice when I have the opportunity to work with someone whose professionalism and integrity I respect"
