Michael Pallares helped me buy and sell my Brookline condo and also helped me and my husband buy a new house in Dedham. Michael is honest and straightforward, patient, and is amazingly prompt and proactive. He rapidly responds to calls if he doesn't answer his phone directly, which he does most of the time. Michael has many hidden talents that have shown up over time. He can refer you to a mortgage specialist and lawyer (an advantage for quick closings); he is a talented interior decorator who can make a room look great for selling; he does his research regarding how much a condo is worth, and is able to give referrals for movers, house cleaners, kitchen redecorators, etc. He gives advice when asked, but does not push any property on the buyer. When I started 3 years ago I thought I'd drive Michael crazy by asking to see so many condos and systematically rejecting each one until I found ""the one."" It probably did drive him crazy, but he was remarkably kind and patient about it. In my searches for condos and houses I have observed many realtors in action and have always been thankful that I found Michael. He's a truly talented, honest, and kind person - who also has a great sense of humor - and I recommend him highly.
Pros: Everything - he's great
