Stephen Byrne

I lived out of state and had experienced disinterest from two other local agents. They put me on their email list and I received a handful of listings a day. My house was on the market and I had to move quickly. I researched Stephen Byrnes and he had outstanding reviews. I called him and immediately received numerous listings. He introduced me to houses and neighborhoods the others had not even mentioned. I called him with two days notice and flew into Springfield and he showed me several houses. I saw the house I ultimately purchased on the second day and made an offer. He was a very good advisor during the process and while i traveled to massachusetts he fielded requests from my lenders. He provided wonderful service and was honest and hard working and I am grateful that I worked with him.

A family member died unexpectedly and being the next of kin I needed to sell her house. I live about an hour away. Steve and his agency made the sale almost easy, taking care of needed repairs, inspections, maintenance issues, smoke detector certificate, whatever needed to be done. He and his son were always pleasant, professional and knowledgeable, using email and phone calls with me so that I did not have to travel back and forth. I do not hesitate to recommend First Realty to anyone who needs to sell property.

We had a buyer on the condo quickly above asking price. While I'm used to handling real estate transactions in Florida, it different in Massachusetts as to who does what and Stephen was instrumental in educating me on the differences and who handles what. I would use Stephen again if I move back to the Springfield area.
