Testimonials

I have just finished my 6th and 7th successful real estate transactions over the last 15 years, with John Maxfield as my broker. During this time, I watched my net worth grow.

John is a very good listener and a wonderful guide.
His solutions are creative and his service personalized.
He often draws upon his financial knowledge as a CPA.

There is no other broker who can come up to John’s level of expertise. He is the definition of excellence in real estate brokerage and John is my broker for life!

From the start, we knew the market was very competitive, and we knew we needed someone deeply experienced with our particular market and with the process. John Maxfield came highly recommended and we felt immediately in the right hands when we started working with him. John's energy, his ability to really listen to what we were looking for, his knowledge of the area, and the fact that he literally seems to know everyone in the real estate field and beyond really set him apart.

John Maxfield was integral in making the dream of buying our first home come true. He reads seller-buyer relationships with a clarity that we needed. We made an offer that actually came in way below competing offers, but John's approach to making our offer, which we followed, made the offer successful. We attribute this to his nature, truly, as a people person -- he gets how people work and he read the situation perfectly. We're in our home now, and are going to miss working with John.

My family retained John for the sale of my mother's house in Brookline, Massachusetts.

From the moment my family met John, we all felt extremely comfortable with him. John met with us and listened closely to our wishes, expectations and special circumstances regarding the sale of the house and how we wanted to market the property.

He explained to all of us that he would market the house the way we wanted, and he never pressured us to follow the "conventional" way of selling the home. He made the process easy and comfortable for my mother, which was very important to us.

Within less than 2 weeks, John had an excellent offer for us, with conditions that were exactly what we were looking for. He has made the whole process amazingly easy and we couldn't be more pleased.

At my mother's request, John kept in contact with all of us (4 siblings) every step of the way via email, phone calls and texting. We never were unsure of what was happening, or the next step that would be taken.

I highly recommend John and would be happy to answer any further questions.

John Maxfield’s work on the sale of my house was extraordinary. I called him on a Wednesday afternoon, just before leaving for a 10 day trip out of the country. He came to my house immediately that evening for a preliminary conversation, returned with contracts later that night, and arranged to have my house photographed and posted within three days. The open house was the Sunday before I returned from my trip abroad, and by Monday I had eight offers on the house. I followed John’s advice and set a pricing window for the house instead of asking a specific price, and it worked! After some negotiations, I accepted an offer for $38,000 over the asking price.

I am a school leader and work long hours in a stressful job, and so everything about the sale of my house and the subsequent move was a challenge for me. John was there at every step of the way, helping out when there were details I couldn’t manage, and making sure that everything was done in a timely fashion. At every point in the process, I felt that he advocated for me, anticipated challenges that might arise, and offered me compassionate support.

John was smart, savvy and compassionate. He made what is for many sellers a stressful and discouraging experience, especially in this financial market, a pleasant rite of passage and one that turned out extremely well for me in a financial sense. I really cannot recommend him highly enough.

As a competing agent here in the Boston market this may seem a bit unusual, but I just completed a transaction with John and have never experienced anything quite like it before. He was the most helpful, generous, and professional broker with whom I've dealt. He did a superior job for his clients, and my clients could not have been happier with the results.

John Maxfield worked with us extensively over a period of months in the analysis of my mother’s estate at 1 Dane Street in Jamaica Plain. The analysis he performed involved property valuation for both estate tax purposes and for the ultimate sale strategy. He approached the project with a sincere desire to help us through this emotional project with a great deal of caring, expertise, and professionalism.

The information and advice that John provided was invaluable in our decision making process. His expert input was instrumental in the ultimate sale of our family’s estate at a very good price.

In the end, it was his invaluable and expert analysis that enabled us to confidently effect the sale of the family’s estate.

John Maxfield has been a business associate of mine since first opening his real estate office in 1994. As I have come to know John and his work over the years, I have seen that he is a man of impeccable character and integrity. From the beginning, he has served his clients in a way that emphasizes high ethical standards.

My office has been representing real estate clients in Metro Boston for over 30 years. John has proven to be one of the very best brokers with whom I've had the pleasure to work. I have found him to be an extremely responsive problem solver. His knowledge of the market and his connection with the other agents give him an edge over other agents and brokers. He is pro-active in serving his clients, and when issues arise, he works immediately and tirelessly to solve them.

Now, as Maxfield & Company Real Estate, he continues to be one of the leading and most respected brokers in our community. I look forward to working with him for years to come, and I will continue to refer clients to him without hesitation.

We really appreciated having John Maxfield of Maxfield & Co. as our seller's agent. John's thorough knowledge of the market and good relationships within the community resulted in a quick and relatively painless transaction. Throughout the process, he listened to us, took our priorities seriously, and found creative solutions for whatever needed to be done. He treated our tenants with courtesy and respect, and even helped the tenant who had to move find a new place, in Roslindale, in only two weeks. Everyone whom John recommended for sale-related business was professional and reliable - from house cleaners to real estate lawyer, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. We would definitely work with John again.

I was committed to sell my home on my own (yes, a for sale by owner). I thought I would make more money by doing so. Then I met John. Through his clear and concise explanation, I now believe that I could actually net more by using his professional service. And I did!

John is the quintessential professional: intelligent, creative, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. He is highly effective! Most importantly, I trusted him. I've met many agents in my life and can assure you that John stands head and shoulders above the rest.

John is amazing! My sister and I were looking to buy a condominium together and as first-time buyers, we were unsure and anxious about the process.  We were connected to Maxfield and Co. through a family friend. John made the process clear, easy, and most importantly he gave us the confidence that we needed to navigate the Boston market. John was attentive to our goals, supportive, and above all, a great negotiator. He was able to help us secure exactly what we wanted in a competitive neighborhood. On top of being a great agent and a wonderful person, he is also a pleasure to work with. We are overwhelmed with joy about our purchase. If you are looking to buy or sell, look no further- John Maxfield is the agent you want on your team. 

John and his team have made purchasing my first home a breeze. He brings extremely smart and industry leading techniques and knowledge to the table. He made every step of the process clear and ensured that I understood what was going on throughout. John also brings excitement and a positive outlook which made for a very fun journey. It is because of all of these factors that I will continue to go to John for all my real estate ventures.

It is my pleasure to recommend John Maxfield as a real estate agent for any individual or family seeking to sell their home. My wife and I recently worked with John to sell our home in Roslindale, MA. After speaking with numerous real estate agents, we were introduced to John based on a friend's recommendation.

It was immediately clear that John is not your typical real estate agent. He is a creative and strategic thinker with a keen sense of the market. John developed a clear and detailed plan that he executed to a tee. As a result, we were able to sell our home at the price we wanted on a faster timeline than we expected.

More importantly, John proved himself to be a person of true integrity. As our agent, he served to protect us and our interests. John took care of the big picture and small details. He communicated regularly, keeping us informed of ongoing progress and questions as they arose.

We placed our complete confidence and trust in him, and we were completely satisfied. I can recommend John Maxfield to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If we ever need a real estate agent again, he will be our first choice.

John Maxfield of Maxfield & Co. Real Estate is a fantastic agent who helped me purchase my home this year. I would highly recommend John, especially for his integrity and honesty, which helped throughout the entire process from research and open houses to post-closing. John brings a wealth of experience, professionalism, and above all is a trustworthy agent in the challenging Boston market. I hope to work with his team again in the future.

John is amazing! He sold our house in ONE DAY! Then found us a new home and closed in SIX WEEKS while keeping everything within our budget. We could not have done this without him. He understood us from the time we met and guided us through the whole process. Sounds simple, but his professional knowledge and experience were invaluable to us. We are deeply grateful that he was our broker as he put all the pieces together. A job WELL DONE!

John Maxfield was very honest with us and was adept at discreetly assessing obscure aspects of the house that anyone would gloss over, ensuring we would be aware of all of the details. He was quite funny and likable and is an excellent realtor.

John is the best of the best. He's a real estate veteran. He's been there, done that already. Sharp as a whip!

The ultimate in professionalism and integrity to the Max.

Working with John Maxfield has been smooth sailing for my wife and I. We thought we understood the process of selling a house as we have been through this before but as new obstacles came up we relied on John's positive nature and experience to glide right through them and on to closing. His vision of how to market our place was spot on and brought numerous offers. Maxfield exceeded our expectations. We will never work with a different broker again. All thumbs up!

As parents, it is both exciting and nerve-wracking when your children are making the step into homeownership. When our daughters began a search for a condo in Boston, our biggest concern was making sure they would be taken care of. John treated our girls as if they were his own. He was supportive, patient, and kind. John answered all of their questions and when they were ready to make an offer on there dream place John was able to help them secure their offer. We are so happy we had John and Maxfield Co in our corner. 

John has been a terrific resource for over 10 years.  We are grateful for his knowledge and support!  Highly recommend him.

John is amazing! He's been more than a realtor to us, an ambassador to the neighborhood, going above and beyond to help our family get settled in our home.

I've been working with John Maxfield since 1993!!! I fact, I am his first Real Estate client!!! John is sincere, professional, friendly, smart, caring and a good listener. I use his services for the purchase of real estate and for rentals when we have a vacancy.  John goes beyond the call of duty as far as service goes and you will have his support long after he accomplished what was asked of him.
