    We highly recommend Melissa and her team for real estate needs in and around Greater Boston. Melissa helped us sell our home and purchase a new home in a relatively short timeline. With the sale of our home, she and Stephanie made the process very easy. We had already moved out before putting the house on market, and the team took care of everything - deep cleaning, staging, taking beautiful photos and effectively marketing on social media. She guided us through the negotiation process and always had our best interest in mind. Well definitely go to Melissa again for any future real estate needs.

    Melissa is a consummate professional. Selling my brothers property was uniquely challenging; he is very ill and couldnt take an active role, and our family had differing (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations about price and process. Melissa handled it with a nuanced, steady approach. She gave each of us room to be heard, kept communication clear and respectful, and guided us toward a shared plan. She managed the details end-to-end, kept us informed at each step, and showed genuine compassion for our situation. Thanks to her judgment and calm negotiation, the home sold for a better price than we initially thought possible. She was precisely the right person for a challenging job: skilled, patient, and deeply considerate. Highest recommendation.

    Melissa and her team were extremely professional and efficient, as well as very knowledgeable about the local Canton market. I could not be happier with the entire process and their attention to detail made for a smooth and seamless process. Every step was clearly explained to me and I knew what to expect at each stage of the selling process. I would highly recommend The Mayer Group to anyone selling (or buying) in the Canton area.

    Answered Questions

    How do I negotiate a realtor's payment?

    Negotiating a realtor's commission is understandable, and the key is to approach it with respect and a focus on value. Instead of simply asking for a lower rate, have an open conversation about the services provided and how their strategy will maximize your sale price. Ask about their marketing approach, negotiation skills, and track record, as a top agent often justifies their commission by delivering a higher net profit. Consider alternative structures like a tiered commission, reduced fees for dual transactions, or creative incentives that align with your goals. Keep in mind that an agent who easily cuts their own commission may not be the strongest negotiator for your home sale. Instead of just focusing on cost, focus on valueaEUR"because the right agent can make a far bigger impact on your bottom line than a small percentage change in commission.
