I will never be able to Thank Karen and Logan enough! I was new to home buying, a scary and unknown process for me but luckily, I was blessed to work with these 2 amazing women to help me make one of my dreams come true. Karen and Logan helped me so much and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand from the making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and the whole process. My process was a long and not so easy one, but Karen and Logan were there for me every step of the way no matter the time or day. Working with them it never felt as me being just a client or

We entrusted Karen Colby with the sale of our family home of 50 years in Lynnfield. Karen could not have been more perfect. She understood the emotional nature of the sale. She really understands the market so guided us appropriately with pricing, timing, staging etc. Since we are out of town she personally handled so many details in getting the home ready and then readying the property for final sale after inspection. She handled the sale as if she were selling her own homewith many personal and tasteful touches. I appreciate what she did for us and cannot recommend her more highly!

This review is long overdue as our transaction completed in October 2020. Karen was the buyer's agent in our FSBO. This was such a weird time to sell a property because of COVID and we were in another state selling a property in MA for sale by owner. Many, many complexities and Karen was the consummate professional through the entire process. We had a few weird hurdles with our attorney who was probably not the best for the job but Karen still persevered! I know that she is busy with multiple clients but she made us feel as though we were the only deal going with her responsiveness, patience and

I first had the pleasure of working with Karen Colby, of Colby Properties, in 2001. At that time, I was purchasing my first home. Karen was absolutely excellent in how she walked me through the entire process. It was new construction, and she helped me envision my new home as I worked on the floor design, and selected everything from flooring to countertops to appliances and the like. Her referral to Rob Kline at Mortgage Network was perfect, as the mortgage process went seamlessly. Over the past 19 years, I remained in contact with Karen Colby, and her mother Nancy, who also works at Colby Properties

We always enjoy working with Colby Properties. Karen has helped us to buy rental real estate as well as to provide great advice on how to manage our properties well after our purchase. Colby Properties brings both solid real estate expertise and integrity to provide an exceptional level of service and trust. On top of all of the invaluable advice she has provided, dropping off her power-washer so we could spruce up our new property is just one small example of Karen going the extra mile even after the sale!

With their help, I was able to get into my reach Town. Post home inspection, my team at Colby Properties renegotiated and saved me an additional 3% off the agreed upon price, which allowed me to make improvements to my home. Karen and Logan are super easy to work with and communicate very well with you during the entire process. Home buying can be stressful but these two made it coast right through!

I am so incredibly grateful to the women at Colby Properties. I was living out of state and couldn't get back in time to view a Beacon Hill apartment so Karen Colby went to see it on my behalf. Based solely on her opinion I rented the perfect apartment! I am glad to know the perfect team when it's time to start my house hunt!
