ZillowVERIFIEDWe absolutely recommend Ted and Betsy! They are ethical; deeply knowledgeable about the East Bay (and beyond); responsive; strategic; compassionate; calm and calming under pressure; and just a pleasure to work with. In an unexpected turn of events, what was supposed to be a single property sale turned into two sales and a purchase, all within the span of six weeks. Ted and Betsy were amazing throughout - we could not have done it without them.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was recommended to us by some friends - we would echo their recommendation 1000%! We were first-time home buyers and Ted made the whole process easy and stress free, explaining each step of the process along the way. Not only was Ted readily available to answer all our questions, join us on house visits, and spend significant time talking through options and strategy with us, he was also extremely trustworthy and honest, protecting our best interest. He helped us be patient with the market, advising us when properties were overpriced. We couldnt be happier that Ted spoke honestly to us about the value of one of the first houses we liked - its still on the marked 4mo later! We have just closed on the cutest house that is everything we were looking for, and we know this wouldnt have been possible without Ted!

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is outstanding in every respect. Knowledgeable, patient and never rushed, thoroughly professional and a downright good guy. Never pushy; never showing properties outside out our price range. My law firm handled closings on residential properties in the Hudson Valley for many years. Ted and another are the two best and most professional I have encountered. Six stars out of five!!

ZillowVERIFIED Ted is fabulous! He knows the Rhode Island and specifically Barrington market very well and was so knowledgeable when looking at houses. He didn't let his opinions sway us but always offered advice and thoughtful insights. We looked at many houses with Ted and his availability and responsiveness was excellent. He then went above and beyond with offers and helping us negotiate. He was with us every step of the way and has continued to be a source of support in the home owning process.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED Ted was our realtor for our recent home purchase and was both effective and very pleasant to work with. Because we were moving in from out-of-state we needed to rely on Ted to be our eyes and ears from afar, and he was incredibly helpful and intuitive in this regard. From day one we trusted his instincts and advice, and there have been countless times since the purchase where we've looked back and said, "Ted was right about that." He often seemed to know what we needed before we did, and he even went a step beyond. Like he didn't just suggest a vendor, he'd reach out and set up the appointment and even get references. Ted is knowledgeable about the area, pricing, permits, renovations--you name it. Buying and selling a home is inherently one of the more stressful undertakings in life, and honestly Ted made the process simple, smooth, and even enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend Ted to anyone in need of a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was not just helpful but provided us with the local knowledge that we needed to both sell and relocate and find our new house. He was great and our first move in 25 year would not have been as good without him.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with Ted and his team on multiple residential real estate transactions over the past 10 years, as both a seller and buyer. Ted has always provided the highest level of expertise and advice. His comparable property market assessments are accurate, and his pricing strategy has been spot on to drive interest from buyers and move for a quick sale process. His team was able to provide me with great advice on staging my recent sale to showcase my property at its best. We had many offers from the open house (not just multiple) and were able to get to sale pending in under 3 days. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ted and his sales team again and again.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted and Betsy were incredible in helping us navigate both buying our new home and selling our previous one. Their knowledge and expertise made everything as seamless as possible and they were an excellent resource for all things related to buying/selling a home, inspections, moving etc. They truly went above and beyond what was expected and helped us in any way we needed throughout the process.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I had a great experience working with Betsy & Ted Friedman of the Friedman Group! For every house we looked at there seemed to be 15+ buyers who wanted it as well and the competition was fierce! Ted and Betsy didnt let us get discouraged and kept the search process fun and informative. They were always highly professional, great communicators and most importantly, honest. We always felt like they had our best interest in mind and were always available to answer any questions and provide us with all the information we needed to make decisions. When we did come across the house we felt was aEURoethe oneaEUR?, they gave us advice and strategized with us on how to win in a multiple offer situation. By putting in a creative offer, that a less experienced agent likely would not even know how to do, we were able to win the bid! If you're looking for an experienced real estate agent who will make your home-buying or selling process simple and easy, then the Friedman Group should be who you call first! We cant say enough about how great they both were to work with throughout our home purchase!

ZillowVERIFIED Ted did an amazing job helping us with our long-distance search and purchase of a new home. He was extremely knowledgeable, accessible, and flexible in helping us find a house that met out needs and wishes, and walking us through the entire process from across the country. He was easy to get ahold of, always quick to respond, and always went out of his way to connect us with good people along the way. We would recommend Ted to anyone who is looking for a great realtor who truly puts the customer first.

ZillowVERIFIED If you get a chance to have Ted as your Realtor, consider yourself as having hit the jackpot. His knowledge of the market was such that we felt 100% comfortable with his guidance. He was professional, courteous, and responsive to all of our questions. Our house sold quickly and the transaction couldn't have been smoother. By the time we were done, we felt like we were doing business with a good friend. Five stars aren't enough for Ted. Nothing but the highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED We were buying a home in Rhode Island while still living in another state which was a daunting task especially in the rapid-paced current market. Ted was great and made the process smooth and stress-free. He is extremely knowledgeable and spent the time to educate us and allow us to make a great decision buying the right home for the right price.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was truly a pleasure to work with! This was our first home buying experience and we are so grateful for Ted's guidance throughout the entire process, it could not have been more seamless. He was highly knowledgable about the market, asked all of the important questions, answered all of our questions promptly, and provided expert advice while still allowing us to make the big decisions. We feel very fortunate to have had such a fantastic first experience purchasing a home and hope to work with him again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED If you've found Ted, look no further. I can't imagine a better, more helpful real estate agent out there. He took the time to lookout for me and my fiancee as we shopped for our first home and learned about the home buying process for the first time in our lives. He is patient, very experienced, and has had our backs at every step of the way. He returns calls, take his job seriously, and was a pleasure to work with. Even after we closed on the home, he still responds to any questions I have and is generally helpful. Highly, highly, highly recommend working with Ted. He will make the process easy and straightforward like he did for us.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED The signed RI Real Estate disclosure from The Friedman group states they will represent their 'client's best interest in good faith and honesty'. This is not accurate. They recommend below market value for a home sale price in an effort to quickly sell your home to get their sales commission and move on to the next client. Seller beware.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was phenomenal. He priced the property perfectly. He connected us with every resource we needed - stager, electrician, etc. He assisted us to determine what we really needed to do to sell on our time frame. He is personable and responsive. Working with him was our best decision.

ZillowVERIFIED My biggest concern was finding a place where I would find peace and quiet & that it would be within my income level. From the moment we spoke, Cat went above & way beyond to help me with such a stressful endeavor. She found places that accomodated all my needs. She was my "sounding board" throughout and I consider her a great asset to have on one's side when looking for a new home or rental space. She is very knowledgeable & an excellent negotiator.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted was recommended to us by a family member. Working with Ted was as easy as it gets. He was responsive to our needs, didnt try to push us into buying, and always took the time to answer any questions that came up during our home search. Ted works very hard for his clients and I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to someone looking for an agent.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED I first met Ted Friedman hammering a For Sale Sign into the ground of a neighboring home. I knew then that Ted wasn't frightened to get his hands dirty.I had had my house listed with another broker for 6 months and it was going nowhere fast. All they wanted to do was lower the price and renew the listing.Ted listened to my ideas, and offered sound suggestions at the initial walk through.I gave him the listing pretty much overnight. The house was staged (now highly recommended by me) and professional photography taken for the internet, the brochures and advertising, all supplied by Residential.Working with Ted and his Ladies was a delight, they just made the sale easy for me and easy for buyers wanting to view the property especially at different hours.All four on the Friedman Team had my best interests covered.I would use Ted and Residential again without hesitation. Buying a home in Barrington? Call Ted Friedman!In closing, even the buyer of my home commented that I had the best broker, honest and professional.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED I was looking for a real estate agent who was very familiar with my neighborhood. I received a flyer about a house he had recently sold and contacted him for an interview. He arrived prepared and we agreed on many of the points, He understood what my expectations were. From the time that I signed on with him I felt I was in good hands. He provided good marketing material, had multiple open houses and always followed through after showing the house. I was out of town quite a bit and he took care of everything while I was away making sure that when we went to closing, everything was in place. I highly recommend Ted as a competent professional who is easy to work with.

Stop looking for a realtor- you've found him!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife met Ted at an open house and really liked him. When we decided to downsize and sell our home in Barrington we talked to Ted. All we can say is WOW. Ted is a super talented and focused realtor. He knows his market. He consulted with us to thoughtfully arrive at the correct asking price. He helped guide us through the process of doing some necessary repairs, staging for photography and then found us a planner to work with us on our move. We felt supported and well-represented throughout the process. His firm provided top-notch photography, video and print advertising. We highly recommend Ted and his team at Residential Properties.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED I've had interactions with a number of realtors over the years and Ted is by far the best I've ever encountered. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all facets of the home buying process, from finding homes to consider, negotiating on price and even helping in providing all the post-purchase services that are often needed (like finding great contractors to do repair work). I purchased a home in Barrington, in a fairly tight market, and in this context Ted's knowledge of the local market was incredibly valuable. He was usually able to let me know about homes a few days before they officially came on the market, creating opportunities to think in advance and sometimes even visit homes in advance. For me this made a big difference, as it allowed me to make a final decision on a home quickly, but without feeling rushed. I also really enjoyed Ted's straight shooting and honest mentality. He'll tell you what he thinks and why he thinks it. You can't go wrong in selecting Ted as your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED After several months of searching for a home purchase on Zillow, I made a call to the listing agent's office of one home and connected with Betsy Friedman. From that moment on, she worked with me showing me homes that I liked and would reach out when a home that she thought would be of interest to me. Betsy went over and beyond to help me purchase my new home and comes highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling our house could not have gone better. Ted explained the process, provided advice when we needed it, but helped anyway when we chose to do things "our way." Ted was recommended by a Maine neighbor. We have already recommended him to our friends, and will continue to do so.

ZillowVERIFIED Lisa is an outstanding, high energy worker. She was very helpful during the time we prepared the home for sale. She was always ready to answer questions and help in any way. When the buyer had some delays with the lender, Lisa was was patient and persistent as she kept on top of the situation. After the inspection was done, she helped us to find qualified tradesmen to correct several problems, and she made the arrangements for the work to be done. I recommended Lisa to a relative who also had an excellent experience with her. I have complete confidence in Lisa Raposa.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted Friedman is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market, and pays close attention to detail. He was always patient when answering the many questions we had as first-time home buyers, and was genuinely interested in helping us to find the right property for our family. Ted was also a strong advocate for us during negotiations, and has a very good working relationship with local banks/lenders. We highly recommend Ted Friedman as someone who works hard for his clients and will be available for every step of the process.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted represented us for both the buying and selling process. Ted is extremely knowledgeable and had resources and/or recommendations for everything we needed. Ted was patient, kind and understanding throughout the entire process. He was always responsive and prompt when responding to texts, calls or emails.

ZillowVERIFIED Ted Friedman was recommended to my wife and myself by a good friend who told us Mr Friedman was pleasant and easy to work with. It is the absolute truth. Ted makes the process of buying a property as easy as I imagine it can possibly be. He has a calm demeanor, a knowledge of the process and can answer your questions. Ted is also extremely attentive with emails, phone calls and text messages, and as a result, he is always available. Overall, with all the qualities Ted Friedman processes, he makes buying a home a comfortable experience, which is very important when making a purchase of this size for you and your family.I will recommend Ted Friedman to anyone in the Market for a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Home buying can be a challenging, frustrating, time consuming, confusing experience. Throughout the process, Ted remained the calm voice of reason, helping us make sense of it all. His knowledge of the area was first rate, and his advice regarding schools and activities for our child were spot on. Also appreciated, was the personal service, which in our case, included his coming over after closing, just to make sure we moved our furniture in okay. Without a doubt, I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I knew Ted from when we lived in the Boston area circa 2000. When we decided to sell our house, we knew Ted was the right person to contact. His personality, knowledge of our area and years of real estate experience made it easy for us to choose him as our agent. His assessment of our house to sell, was spot on. We had offers before our first open house! Ted was available by phone, chat, email and in person for us during the whole process. And he still is. He helped us get in contact with high quality plumbers, electricians, etc. as we made our house ready for the market. All of his suggested service professionals were fantastic to work with and their results were great. Ted is a real person. Trustworthy, dedicated, knowledgeable and smart. I don't want to move again, but if we did, I know who to contact. And I'd happily refer my friends to him.

Review for Member: Ted Friedman
ZillowVERIFIED Our house-buying process wound up being protracted, taking nearly a year, and the usual stress of selling/buying a home, and then moving, was compounded for us, but all along the way, Lisa Raposa, with the Ted Friedman Real Estate Group Team, was right beside us, guiding us along, cheerfully, helpfully, and honestly. We initially started with a different realtor from a different company, but when that agent refused to show us homes until the house we were selling was under contract, we turned to Lisa, whom we had met at an open house she hosted. From the beginning of our work with her, Lisa was always happy to schedule showings of homes for us to look at - no matter how many we wanted to see. She took time to get to know us and to understand what we wanted, and needed, in our new home. We knew that we could trust her advice, so we repeatedly asked her for her opinions and recommendations. She quickly responded to questions and concerns. Lisa went above and beyond in doing research about homes we were interested in and also regarding the area we were moving from, which was outside of her range. But Lisa took the time to learn about the town and real-estate market we were moving from, giving us much better advice about selling our home in Massachusetts than either of the two realtors we had there - we sold our house because of Lisa's help, not theirs, in the end - and she navigated us through the process of moving to Rhode Island. Her knowledge of real estate overall and the RI and southern Massachusetts markets is impressive. In fact, she's still helping us, offering recommendations for contractors and others to do work on our new home. We can't say enough good things about our experience working with her and the benefits that her group brought to us - we highly recommend her and her colleagues to anyone seeking to buy or sell property in southern Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Betsy of the Friedman Group, who was top-notch for any market. We have lived all over the country & shopped in several markets, and Betsy is the best we have found anywhere! We shopped in Providence, Barrington, & East Greenwich all over which markets Betsy excelled in. She has a personal touch centered on real connection with real people. She connected with us as her clients and the other realtor(s) in such a manner that got us an amazing deal on an amazing home - but navigated with professional precision that had everyone involved smiling. Overall we had the impression that Betsy was always out for our best interest as buyers and never once did she show any self-interest. She represented as in ways that far exceeded any expectations we had going into the process. There are a lot of realtors out there - but if you want an experience that is personal, unique, and wonderful (while still being professionally masterful) - then Betsy is the ticket!
