MapofMaxDublinTeam?s Past Sales
?We could not have picked a better real estate agent for our recent home buying and selling experience Max had an expertise that made us feel comfortable from the outset, and he never disappointed Max lives in the area, knows the market very well, and has numerous helpful connections that were utilized throughout our search. Max and his team helped us to secure our dream home in a wild market for a fair price that we do not believe we could have negotiated on our own
On the selling side, we were new to things and had a tight timeline Max guided us step by step and helped to keep us sane throughout this emotional process He was always responsive, calm, patient and confident without a hint of pushiness We were very pleased with the outcome of the sale.
On a personal level, Max is a truly kind, warm person who clearly derives joy from his profession It was not surprising to see that he was well respected by everyone we interacted with We couldn? t recommend him more highly?

?Max has a wonderfully calm presence, backed up by his deep understanding of the process, and his team (both at Sotheby?s and in the community) that help get the job done with as little stress as imaginable Naga Construction and Stage to Sell were excellent referrals?
SOPHIE AND NICK
?I really felt as though I could ask anything at any point in the process and get a quick and thorough response. Buying and selling simultaneously means keeping track of two separate processes and I thought your team did a great job of keeping us organized and making sure we were aware of all the details It felt good to know how many people we had invested in the success of both transactions. I appreciated that Max was very, very level with us at our most stressed out moments Elizabeth provided so many thoughtful insights on the properties we saw together, and brought a lot of warmth and fun to the process. Sarah kept us totally organized and really saved the day with last minute pre-photo prep? our listing turned out beautifully! Katherine did a spectacular job with the open houses and showings given the strength of the offers we received "
GARY, BILL AND TINA
?You [Max Dublin Team] stuck with this through all the twists and turns When others would have moved on, you stuck by us. Thank you for your guidance, perseverance and commitment. I can? t count the number of times one of us said, ?Well, that?s Max?s call or Max?s person, etc.?and felt reassured.?
JING
?Your responsive communication and to-the-point direction made the entire process very enjoyable for me too It was especially helpful during this period of also being preoccupied with other priorities, knowing your team is taking care of things in the background Not once did I feel like I needed to worry about missing deadlines or keeping track of the details. I appreciated Max?s advice in navigating through the current, atypical market It certainly wasn? t the ideal circumstances for sellers, but I felt his recommendations were fair, realistic and looked out for my best interests.?
