Our Customers Say:
Justin M. (renter)I have used Charlesgate Realty to help me find my past two apartments. I have not been able to find a company that better meets my needs.
Ana F. (seller)Charlesgate Realty Group went above and beyond during the process of selling my home. Given my unique circumstances they assisted me in dealing with what were at times difficult situations.
Eric G. (buyer)We wanted to send you our most heart-felt thanks for all your hard work! We couldn’t have asked for better help along the treacherous and windy road to real estate acquisition; especially as first time buyers.
Derek W. (seller)I really appreciate all the work you put into selling my condo. Your dedication to the job at hand was very impressive as was your constant professionalism. I think we made a pretty solid team and will be calling you when I’m looking for a new place.
Bob P. (seller)All I can say is great job! Your extensive marketing and massive 85 buyers visiting the open house - was huge in getting the two units under agreement for full price in just 2 days, in a bad market! What else can I say!
Kim T. (buyer)We had an excellent experience with Charlesgate in purchasing our first home and would highly recommend them to anyone!
Kathy L. (buyer)Thank you so much for making my home buying experience so easy. I appreciate all of your advice during the whole process. Thanks again for all your help!
Tim M. (renter)This unique compilation of characteristics provided an unmatched level of service in an otherwise service-less industry. Thank you.
Ted G. (seller)For several months, I listened to several Realtors talk the talk about selling my property in the Back Bay. I heard everything but results until P.T. Vineburgh and Charlesgate Realty Group took over the marketing. Within days we had an offer, and within weeks we had a sale. Others talked. P.T. and Charlesgate produced. What more need be said?
Kay C. (buyer)After months and months of searching with various real estate agents, I found my home with the help of Charlesgate Realty Group. Right when I walked through the doors, I felt like family in a way that they just knew what type of home that would best suit me.
