Testimonials
"Kathleen Duffy is not a realtor. She is THE REALTOR.
Having bought and sold multiple homes on the south shore, MA hands down working with Kathleen has been a privilege and the most informed, supported and guided experience. Outside of Kathleen?s in depth knowledge of the South Shore towns, their history, the impact of storms and the objective value of homes - she is a first class agent who knows how to get you the home of your dreams. And that?s all wrapped up in a shining personality, that is genuinely there to help you and gives you real advice.
If you are looking to sell your home, or, if you are desperate to buy a new home or a vacation home, then you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not work with Kathleen. There is no one else I would recommend.
Sincerely, Rob Peacock"
Rob Peacock (Scituate)
"Kathleen is the absolute best, we would give her 6 stars if it were possible. She exceeded all expectations as a trusted partner in buying our house and there's no doubt in my mind we wouldn't have been able to get our dream home without her guidance.
As first time buyers, Kathleen went out of her way to educate us in pretty much everything we needed to know about the home buying process. We always felt that we had her support and were able to go to her regardless of how small of a question we had.
I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking to buy in the South Shore!"
Kevin Chao (Norwell)
"I have the highest recommendation for Kathleen. I have worked with her both to buy my condo in 2016 and sell it just now in 2022. In both cases, her professionalism, experience, market knowledge, and friendliness made for a great experience. As a seller, her years of experience in creating an effective marketing package contributed greatly to a quick sale in just a few days on very favorable terms. During the closing process she was very helpful in making sure that all the proper requirements and documents were obtained in a timely manner. Through it all, she a was a pleasure to work with, responded quickly to questions I had and always kept me in the loop. Again, cannot recommend Kathleen too highly."
Tom Baer (Rockland)
"We were very fortunate to work with Kathleen, who has tremendous knowledge about both the real estate market as well as what to look for in the quality and condition of a home. It was incredibly helpful to have her expertise and honest insights. She was always very reliable and is a joy a to work with!"
C. White (Marshfield)
"Kathleen is a true pro. She exceeded expectations as she guided us thru the process; actively marketed our home & successfully navigated the sale our 25 yr home to closing. Her knowledge of the current market & unprecedented demand for housing helped us maximize value. Kathleen is responsive (24/7), decisive & did well to protect our interests. Her pleasant demeanor eased nerves & made her very accessible from our initial meeting thru closing. I strongly recommend Kathleen & would hire her again in a heartbeat."
Jack & Chris D'Ambrosia (Scituate)
"Kathleen Duffy is what all realtors should aspire to be: well informed about the market place, a savvy marketer who has her clients best interests at heart"
Pattie O'Neill (Scituate)
"Kathleen was an absolute PLEASURE to work with. She helped and guided us through the sale of our home and the purchase of our forever home. She was 100% responsive with any questions that we had, and made us extremely comfortable along the way. With Kathleen, we always felt like we were the more knowledgeable party on both sides of the deals. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Kathleen, and I consider her a top professional as far as people I've dealt with across any industry."
Bill Casey (Scituate)
"Kathleen Duffy is THE best realtor on the South Shore and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Kathleen prepared extensively before our first meeting, giving me an in-depth look at the process of selling, and including all of the relevant details and decision points. Even though she had invested time she didn't pressure me to commit to her or in any way "sell" me. I knew she would be the best realtor. She then arranged everything for me, I mean everything: photos and inspections of the home, meeting with the Fire Chief on my behalf, you name it and Kathleen had already thought of it. Before, during, and after the sale, right up to closing, Kathleen kept me and all relevant parties informed of every thing that was happening. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and the next time I buy, or sell, I will definitely return to Kathleen Duffy. Did I mention we got the best possible price for our home? Do yourself a favor and seek out her services."
Heather Guimond - Seller (Marshfield)
"Kathleen has been our agent for the past two houses we?ve sold and and have nothing but great things to say about her. She has outstanding knowledge of the area and market, and has always been willing to step in for us when we needed assistance with the process (not to mention she sold our last house in 1 day). If we ever sell our house again (although we?re planning on staying for quite a while), Kathleen would be the only agent we would want to work with."
Tim Leonardi (Scituate)
"Kathleen has been great to work with from the start! We first met with Kathleen to understand the market, our home?s worth and the buying/ selling process, which ended up being about a full year before we made any moves. Her knowledge and patience made us extremely comfortable reaching out to her when we saw our dream home online. Even though a year had past, she quickly jumped in to accommodate our need to see our dream home. When our dream home slipped from our fingers, Kathleen was there to guide us on our hunt for the next dream home. She was very accommodating, always worked with our tight schedule and was always quick to answer the millions of questions we had. She helped coach us through everything- from all of the details in selling and buying, to understanding neighborhoods, what to look for in inspections, negotiation processes and everything that we wouldn?t even think about. Kathleen made the process seamless and exciting! What made it best is that she is an all around nice person who simply looked out for my family! We enjoyed our time working with Kathleen, thrilled in the outcome of the sale of our home, in love with our new home and couldn?t recommend and thank Kathleen enough."
Nicole Van Kleef (Scituate)
"Kathleen was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am a single mother of 3 working full time and trying to sell a house while juggling my life felt like an impossible task. Kathleen made it effortless for me and my house sold in 24 hours with two offers over asking! Without a doubt I would highly recommend Kathleen!"
Stephanie McAuley - seller (Scituate)
"Working with Kathleen was a wonderful experience, she made buying our first home easy and enjoyable. She was always flexible, had great communication, and we felt totally comfortable going through the process with her help. Would absolutely recommend working with Kathleen"
Cody White - buyer (Marshfield)
"Kathleen,
This is a very belated thank you email in regards to our recent purchase of a summer home we purchased last summer which you were the listing broker of.
I hold very high standards not only as a broker myself but as a principal owner of a luxury real estate company BenoitMiznerSimon in Weston, Wellesley, Needham and Sudbury , Ma.
Your responsiveness was always extremely quick in getting back to me in regards to accommodating me for a showing ar the property as well as with any questions I had in regards to the house . Your negotiating skills were impressive!You also called me asking for feedback which is critical to any homeowner.
Even more impressive was your quick response even today when I asked you to reach out to the previous owners regarding their heating vendor. 4 months after the sale closed you are still on top of your game!
I would highly recommend you and your services to anyone looking to sell or purchase.
Thanks again for everything and wishing you and yours a fabulous Christmas and New Year.
Sheryl"
Sheryl Simon (Hull)
"Kathleen was a huge help to me and my wife while purchasing our first home in Scituate, MA. We couldn't have done it without her and would refer her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home on the south shore!"
Nick & Nicole (Scituate)
"Kathleen did a great job with us. She was very thorough and explained every detail to us She guided us around all the pitfalls of stageing uncluttering;reviewing; and checking all our options."
Denise & Gregory Hunt - seller (Norwell)
"Kathleen assisted us through the difficult process of selling my parents' home. She attended to every detail with professionalism and thoughtfulness. She kept us updated on each turn of events and offered advice that served us well. I really felt that she was there for us. Her calm personality, levelheaded thinking and in-depth knowledge of the area's real estate market all combined to help us sell the house quickly and with a minimum of headaches. If I had another house to sell I would contact Kathleen without question."
Dennis Donoghue (Scituate)
"Kathleen helped us through the difficult process of selling our parents home. We had no idea how much needed to be done before the sale. She was knowledgeable about every issue that came up and extremely attentive to detail. I will recommend her to anyone I meet who is buying or selling a home."
Michael Donoghue (Scituate)
"Kathleen was amazing! This was my first home purchase, and we looked at many, many houses on the South Shore, and she helped me every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, friendly and always available even though I was nervous and had lots of questions. She helped me to find the perfect home in Cohasset, and I highly recommend her."
Rebecca Kohler (Cohasett)
"Our experience with Kathleen was absolutely first class. Her local knowledge of the Scituate market and 100% transparency regarding the risks and benefits of buying in specific areas was invaluable. She was also highly responsive throughout the process. Highly recommended."
Michael Davies (Scituate)
"Kathleen, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your work on this deal. This was the smoothest transaction I've ever worked on and it's so rare for everyone to do a good job nowadays, it seemed like everyone involved did their job and knew what to do; I never get to say that!
I hope to be able to do a few more deals with you in the future and I can't say enough good things about working with you!
Thanks,
Rob"
Rob Toomy - Buyer Agent
"Kathleen was there through the whole process. She actually helped me purchase my home and I called her back years later to help me sell it. She attentive, thorough and kind. During the closing process my lawyer commented on how great she was and mentioned it?s rare to find a realtor so responsive and committed to her clients and I should use her again!! He kept her card!!"
Sandra Brescia (Scituate)
"I have never met an individual with more attention to detail. Kathleen has helped us as both a purchaser and a seller. She researches and thinks of things that would never even cross our minds. Always one step ahead, she keeps track of all of the myriad important legal details of buying and selling. With a professional background in finance and operations, no issue escapes Kathleen's attention. We knew she had our backs and was looking out for our best interest. She is also very compassionate when dealing with the emotional aspect of selling a home. I regret that I was not always my best self during this process, but Kathleen was a true professional. Wish I could give her 10 stars! Jean
"
Jean Batty (Scituate)
"Kathleen recently helped us sell our antique Cape. She has great communication skills and kept in touch every step of the way. Kathleen is very responsive to any questions and concerns. If you are looking for someone to help you sell your home I would highly recommend her."
Mark Stanley (Scituate)
"Where do I start, Kathleen is such a wonderful person to work with. Her dedication, percerverance, and hard work, are the foundation to your real estate adventure! Kathleen's keene knowledge of the fields give you a great advantage to have such a valuable asset to your team. Trust me when I say this, she is the best. Not only does she make you feel like you are her only priority, but she is very likable and easy to communicate with. She is available mostly anytime to help your with any of your question, needs, or concerns. Kathleen will fight for all your wants work as hard as she can to find the home of your dreams. Wow what an experience to have her in your corner. You will be throughly pleased."
Weston Fazzino (Pembroke)
"Kathleen was extremely professional and presented a clear sales strategy for our family to follow.
She was extremely diligent in execution and pays attention to every detail during the process.
Her market research was spot on and inclusive of our homes selling features.
Kathleen has excellent follow up skills and is very personal and objective in her dealings with all parties."
Richard Powers (Scituate MA)
Last month I sold my house in Scituate. I worked with the best Realator ever, Kathleen Duffy! I had such a good feeling about her representing me as soon as I met her. That good feeling turned out to be way above my expectations. There was never a moment during the entire process that I wasn't 100 per cent at ease with the way she proposed to price and sell my home in a timely fashion. I was very busy with many other things that needed to be done, that this total "peace of mind" made my life stress free. Who is ever stress free selling the most important asset in their life?
I was, the house sold quickly! Kathleen exclusively looked out for my best interests, had the knowledge, commitment and negotiation skills as well as her "heart & soul" into selling my home. Her quick responses to texts and phone calls were phenomenial. I would highly recommend anyone buying or selling to meet with Kathleen and see for yourself what she offers and what makes her so different in her positive, professional approach. There's a lot to be said about "honesty and integrity." Kathleen throughly enjoys what she does, has the experience and knowledge and takes the stress out of the buying/selling factor while getting the job done! You "shine" Kathleen!
Valerie McCormick (Scituate, MA)
"Kathleen represented us in the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one both in Scituate, MA. We picked Kathleen based on the reviews she had received and the great impression she made when we first met. She did not disappoint! She is smart, experienced and knows the real estate market. Her expertise and negotiating skills were invaluable throughout the process of both selling and buying. She would second guess all possible scenarios and was always available when needed. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we consider ourselves lucky to have found her!
Alison & John Ward"
Alison & John Ward (Scituate)
"My husband and I were first time home buyers and didn't know what to expect. Kathleen was literally with us every step of the way. She was knowledgeable about the process, the towns, how to best negotiate the offer, and even took the time to go with my husband to the town office and pull lot plans on several occasions. During our time with Kathleen, she must have taken us to 50 houses all around the South Shore. She was incredibly patient and caring, which makes an emotional process like buying a home so much more enjoyable. We wouldn't have been able to find the perfect home for our family, had she not been such a trusted advisor and someone whom we grew to think of as a friend. We were in a very competitive market and her ability to navigate helped us get the home of our dreams over 5 other offers. I would recommend her to anyone whom would like to buy a house anywhere on the South Shore, especially in Duxbury, MA"

"Kathleen has been our real estate agent for two separate transactions and she has been tremendous. She arranged for a professional photographer that displayed our home with eye catching views and sold our house in two days. She always made herself available and responded to any request quickly and professionally. I have total confidence in her ability and her knowledge and her experience. She takes the stress out of the buying and selling of property because she always has your best interest at heart. She's the Best!!! - Dianne Bryan"
Dianne & Mike Bryan (Hull-Multi-Family)
"Kathleen was incredibly kind, patient and honest - everything you could ask for in a realtor. Because of her we found the house that was perfect for us! I already have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. And years down the road when we choose to sell, I wouldn't want anyone other than Kathleen to represent us!"
Christine Folkard (Scituate)
"One of the greatest acomplishments in the sales/service industries is when ones customers will recommend you to their friends and family - and that is something we have already done and will continue to do. Kathleen will go above and beyond for her clients, and she was part of the process of buying a home from the very beginning to the very end, and even following up after the closing. During the lengthy, and at times frustrating periods while we searched for our new home, Kathleen was always there with her posetive attitude and warm personality. And Kathleen would do additional research when needed to ensure we had as much facts as possible about the properties were were interested in. And will we be using Kathleen again? Absolutely! Both when selling and buying our next home. It has been a pleasure to work with Kathleen and we are very greatful for all her help finding us our new home. Shannon and Geir"
Shannon Mac & Geir Myklebust (Marshfield MA)
"We had a fantastic experience using Kathleen as our buyers agent! Kathleen was extremely knowledgable in the area we looked at (South Shore). We truly enjoyed working with her and have recommended her to all of our friends that are looking to buy or sell properties. Kathleen is very responsive and was extremely thorough from start to finish.
"
Sam and Jenna Steele (Scituate MA)
"Kathleen was so incredibly helpful in the home buying process from start to finish. We bought a new construction home directly from a builder which was stressful given a very specific and detailed P&S negotiation, a tight deadline which could impact the sale of our current residence, and often slow communication with the builder. Kathleen's expertise with new construction coupled with her strong local knowledge and industry connections helped tremendously. I couldn't imagine getting through this process without an excellent realtor like Kathleen. She often went above and beyond for us like visiting the home often to check on progress and take pictures, attending a town meeting when a dispute arose between the builder and a neighbor, and working seamlessly with our real estate lawyer and mortgage broker. I really cannot recommend Kathleen enough- she is a rock star!"
Marie Cristoforo (Scituate MA)
My husband and I were fortunate to stumble upon Kathleen's profile and thereafter randomly picked her to show us a property without definite plans to commit to a buyer agent at first. From our initial meeting with her, we made a connection and instantly knew that she was the best agent to help us with our South Shore house search. Kathleen's process expertise is sound and she is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the real estate market whether it be regarding preapproval, mortgage intricacies, compiling effective offer packages, insights to account for from a listing agent perspective, current market trends, land rules nuances, pool safety laws, intrinsic value for different house styles, comparable listings that are carefully curated, house features that add/detract value, lead disclosure laws, estate sale challenges, town hall records research, and many more. She always adds value in that she went beyond just merely reiterating to us details that are already on MLS listing sheets, especially given all the quirks that we encountered with each house we saw together. She has a plethora of insight and experience that she willingly shares, but also ensures to remind us that we are to form opinions and decisions on our own and which facts need to be confirmed by the appropriate professionals other than herself. Kathleen was comprehensive and patient in working with us to ensure all our questions and concerns were addressed. We'd like to think of ourselves as thorough and diligent buyers so many questions were definitely raised. She never once implied that we were difficult or demanding, and on top of executing diligent research, she often went to the town hall to confirm a handful of official details that required verification even when we were only in the early stages of compiling offers. She was always on time, responsive, and accommodating. It was very apparent that she works with many clients and is always on the go, yet she manages to make you feel like you are her only client and her attention and efforts are 100% dedicated to you when she is with you. She is flexible with location or times as long as her schedule allows, and would often even respond to texts/emails late at night (not that we ever requested her too either!). She was upfront with her schedule and would often remind us what days she would be unavailable, her exact availability, where and when she needed to be next, etc. so we always knew what to expect and helped us plan our time as well. There was even a hectic period during one negotiation when she was traveling yet she still managed to stay connected despite time differences or long flights. On top of this, she also engaged one of her associates to help us with anything we needed while she was away and this ensured we continued to have local support. Overall, she always kept in touch and provided us constant updates or even the lack thereof she stayed on top of everything and would even update us to indicate that she hasn't heard anything yet but is always following up. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to help us navigate a highly challenging Braintree market where the inventory was unusually low and good properties were getting snatched up in merely days. We were often competing in bidding wars with 10 other offers and everything was moving at a fast pace, and Kathleen was there to guide us every step of the way. Unlike other agents with a purely selfish goal of merely getting a commission as fast and as high as possible, her goal was to get us a house that we truly loved at a great value, and that we aren't rushed or forced into any decisions. With bidding wars, she struck a great balance between advising us on how to strategize and what a competitive bid might be, yet at the same time ensuring that we are comfortable with our offer and have carefully thought about everything. We never once felt any unwelcome pressure from her and even for cynical people like us, we really felt that she was trustworthy and was looking out for our best interests. Refreshingly, she provides her honest opinion on everything and highlights all the good and bad things about a property, so we knew that she really cared about helping us make the right choice and not so much with just getting a deal closed out. Kathleen has all the qualities someone would want in an agent. As a previous accountant, she is numbers-oriented so that is a great bonus. She is organized and detail-oriented, and to complement her solid skill set, she also has a great, genuine, and warm personality; she always knew how to build great rapport with seller agents, homeowners, and even the neighbors if we met them! She fosters great relationships with everybody and that's an invaluable trait in real estate. She truly stands out among the large pool of cookie cutter real estate agents and we hope to work with her again in the future."
Charisma Madamba & Wayne Jia (Braintree MA)
"Kathleen was amazing. She was attentive and armed us with all pertinent information. She also saw the entire deal through and gave us great advice.
In fact, she discussed the home we bought with the listing agent when the home was out of our price range but had a feeling that the sellers may be interested in an offer in our range. We ended up loving the home, made an offer, and the rest is history. In summary: without Kathleen, my family wouldn't be living where we are!"
George Scordo (Scituate MA)
"Kathleen was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire home buying process! I started looking for a home in Plymouth in the fall of 2016 and found the perfect house with Kathleen's help in May of 2017. I definitely recommend Kathleen to anyone looking to buy!"
Jess Whittier (Plymouth, MA)
"Kathleen helped us with the purchase of our first home. She was always available to help answer our questions throughout the process, and helped set up and take us to many showings - sometimes even the same day they were listed! Kathleen's home valuation and negotiating skills are invaluable."
Katie & Eric (Wrentham)
"Realtor Kathleen is a great professional to work with. She helped us buy a home for our needs. She was proactive, responsible and passionate to do the best in every step of the home buying process. My wife and I are very glad to have her as our buying agent."
Vidya Vijjeswarapu (Braintree MA)
"Kathleen is an extraordinary real estate agent. She represented me and my wife for both the acquisition and sale of a house on the South Shore of Massachusetts, over the course of three years. She was attentive to detail throughout the whole process. She provided counsel when we needed it, was assertive when necessary, and always represented our best interests. She understands that real estate transactions are highly personal, and she knows how to manage the various emotions that pop up as well. I cannot recommend Kathleen highly enough!"
Justin Cohen (79 Main St - Hull)
"Kathleen is a full-time, professional real estate agent covering the entire South Shore. She knows the area very well and and offered valuable advice about the area including school districts. She went above and beyond our expectations, going to the town hall to make sure the permits for the property we were interested in was in order. She also checks the square footage listed by sellers agent against town records."
Jason Rodriquez (Scituate MA)
"I can not speak highly enough of Kathleen Duffy. We have worked with a few realtors over the past 4 years, and we were so happy we found Kathleen for our home purchase this spring. We were tough customers, looking at many houses in different towns before we narrowed down our search, and her help and patience were invaluable. She is forthright, honest, and does great number work too in terms of value and pricing. She does not impose any of her opinions either, and just guides you. She was seeing us many times a week, and is always quick to answer, or get right back to you. I am more of a person who goes with instant like/dislike for the house, and she provided a very real perspective for the practicality, work, and overall value of the homes. My husband is quite detail oriented and very much an engineer and accounting person, and Kathleen guided us with great knowledge and help to find our dream home. Personally, she is really fun to be with as well, so we really enjoyed our time together. We were put at ease by her often, and there were a few really stressful times, where she helped immensely. We have worked with many different styles of realtors over the past few years, and I can comfortably and honestly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for the best of the best."
Carolyn & Brian Ledbetter (Duxbury)
"We found Kathleen thanks to the wealth of positive reviews online. I called her about a very tricky property, which led to a labor-intensive back and forth with the seller. Throughout the whole thing Kathleen was a steady, positive, and knowledgeable presence.
The house in question was a tear-down with tons of location challenges. Kathleen knew it was important to us to keep trying even as the situation became more and more difficult, but she was also frank with us when she needed to be. That combination of honesty and positivity is what makes Kathleen so unique. We needed someone who could see all angles of the situation with clear eyes, but who could also give us the motivation to pursue the dream of owning the property and Kathleen was just that person.
When the land appraised far lower than we expected and the seller wouldn't negotiate any further, we knew we had to pull out and start looking again. I think I would have just thrown the towel in had we not been working with Kathleen. She made us feel safe and informed and even after months of negotiation that didn't pan out she was ready to hit the ground running to help us find the right place.
We are currently in a house that has made us beyond happy and it definitely wouldn't have happened without Kathleen. We now have family members moving to the area, and Kathleen will be helping them find a home as well. Kathleen will be one of your greatest assets in looking for a home. Her positive attitude, responsiveness, patience, honesty, and expertise make her unique and a pleasure to work with."
Eleanor Vanden Heuvel & Justin Cohen (Hull)
"Kathleen was absolutely amazing to work with. She was the perfect fit for my wife and I and we are happy she was our realtor thru the entire process of buying our first home. She was very personable and patient thru ought the entire process and always made us feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable of not only the market but the process in general you go thru between dealing with the mortgage lenders, the insurance, the underwriters, etc. She is always willing to explain everything in depth and fights for what you want to get done in the contracts, etc. She always made herself available at anytime for showings or even via phone calls/emails/texts/etc. if you needed her to help you with any questions you may have had.
Overall, we could not be happier with her service and couldn't imagine going thru the process without her by our side. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a realtor and have already forwarded her info to people we know looking to buy a home. She is the best- Brent Fitzgerald
"
Brent & Lauren Fitzgerald (Plymouth)
"This was my first time selling and buying a home. Kathleen made the entire process such a wonderful experience from the beginning to the end. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the market, her patience and most of all her professionalism and integrity. Kathleen is a very honest person and I respect her very much. I highly recommend anyone looking for an excellent realtor to choose Kathleen Duffy."
Anne Semler (Canton & Marshfield)
"Kathleen was responsive, prompt, and patient from day one. As first time home buyers we probably looked at about 8 homes before finding the perfect one and she was able to point out the plus's and watch-outs of each. Once we were under contract she stepped us through each little detail and was by our side through close. Even followed up in the week following close to make sure everything was just as we had hoped for. She was very knowledgeable about the area we were looking in, and also honest about the towns and areas she wasn't as knowledgeable about. - Megan Allinson"
Megan Allinson (Marshfield)
"My husband and I were first time homebuyers and Kathleen was the best! She helped us navigate the process, was responsive, listened and understood what was important to us only sending us listings that met our criteria. She was patient while we made decisions and did not pressure us. She was present at the home inspection and negotiated with the sellers to get everything done that was important to us. She really understands the entire process and was helpful in answering questions about all aspects including appying for a mortgage. She is very knowledgeable about the markets we were looking in and was an incredible resource. We highly recommend her. Mary Martini"
Mary Martini & Craig Castriano (Braintree)
"I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen. It was my first time buying a house and I am a worrier in even the best of circumstances. Kathleen never one time acted like I was bothering her or like she was anything but thrilled to hear from me. My fiance and I would send over a list of houses and she would map out the best way to see them all. During visits, she stayed very much in the background only occasionally pointing out pluses or minuses. We ran into another agent at an open house who was super pushy and we both felt so lucky to have Kathleen in our corner.She came with immense knowledge and anything she didn't know she made every effort to follow up on. We have a beautiful house in an area we never would have thought to look if it wasn't for her suggestion. I could not recommend her more highly. Nicole Brogan Dumas"
Nicole & Jim Dumas (Weymouth)
"My fianc? and I recently purchased a home in Marshfield, Kathleen Duffy was our buyer?s agent and we were SO lucky to have her. We were both so green to this home buying process and she held our hands through the whole process. Kathleen was always there to respond to my phone calls and MANY emails! She was so accommodating; she would show my fianc? and I a house one day and would make herself available to show it again to my father and myself. She showed us many homes in many different towns around the south shore, and was always very well prepared with information on the areas. Once we found our perfect home, Kathleen made the buying process seem like a breeze; she is very organized and kept all of our deadlines. During lulls where the process was in the hands of the mortgage brokers and underwriters, Kathleen would call and check in to see if we needed anything. This was the best experience we could ask for as first time homebuyers!
"
Krista & Tim Sommer (Marshfield)
"Kathleen's expertise and personal care is unmatched! Our sale involved the buyers securing federal financing - she was well versed in the process and prepared us for the obstacles in accepting the offer. Once the offer was agreed upon, she helped us prepare for the various appraisals and inspections by replacing CO monitors, house numbers and other details. She represented our interests at closing when the bank had numbers wrong on the HUD - and rectified the situation in our favor! We fully and without hesitation recommend Kathleen Duffy. - Kendra Evans"
Kendra & Andrew Evans (Scituate)
"Kathleen is the WHOLE reason why we are in our house today! It is her savvy and etiquette, as well as her knowledge of the market that makes her so amazing!! She goes all out and does her due diligence. I am so glad she was working for us! She is the hardest working real estate agent on the South Shore!!- Christina DeFranceaux"
Christina & Carter DeFranceaux (Duxbury)
"When I buy my next house (no time soon, Kathleen got me my dream house!) I will make sure to have Kathleen on my side. She is fantastic about explaining the myriad things that aren't obvious unless you speak real-estatese, and she is tireless at finding solutions when things don't go as you planned. She is warm and friendly, and her sweetness as a person complements her diligence as a realtor. I wish I had a house to sell so I could have Kathleen around again! - Coral Woodbury"
Coral & Henry Woodbury (Sharon)
"Kathleen was great to work with, very accommodating and made the process of buying our first home easy and relatively stress free! She walked us through the process and was always available to take our calls and questions, no matter what time of day or night. She was more than willing to go the extra step of meeting contractors/appraisers/etc at the property, and even rolled up her sleeves to help us paint a portion of our shed to make the sale go through quicker! The town we ended up in wasn't in her area of expertise, but she did extensive research and we were 100% comfortable and confident in her serving as our realtor in our new town. She gave us great recommendations, walked us through putting in a reasonable offer, and was able to get us a great house for a great price especially in the current market! She wasn't pushy and stayed within the limits we were comfortable with, and never pressured us just so she could make a commission - she offered frank advice, and even advised us what properties would not be the best investment or in our best interest. My husband and I highly recommend her, especially for first time home buyers like ourselves. We couldn't be happier with her service and we love our house!- Jennifer Marciello"
Michael & Jennifer Marciello (Plymouth)
"We highly recommand Kathtleen for her professionnalism and knowlegge of the market.
She provided us with all the information we needed in order to finalise our new family vacation home purchase.
We are not american citizen, we needed a lot of explanations, assistance and referals. Kathleen really have been a great partner in this adventure.

Guylaine Lacasse (Hull)
"Kathleen is an outstanding agent with a deep knowledge of the market and the South Shore comunity. She helped us in every possible way to find not just a place to rent but our new home. Thanks to her support and expertise we were able to understand better what we were looking for. Our priorities became hers. Since the day we met her I felt much much better as I knew I was in excellent hands. After the first showing she had our complete trust. She took care of every single problem we met along the way (from picking us up at the commuter boat from Boston to avoid traffic to make sure that the fireplace was working properly) When we moved in, the unit was not clean. It was Saturday and Kathleen managed to have it super clean in few hours. Bravo!"
Elisa & Andrea Giudici (Cohasset)
"Kathleen Duffy made my home buying experience stress free, Her knowledge of short sales and foreclosure was invaluable as I searched a number of properties that had succumb to this process. Her research was thorough and extremly helpful.
I would highly reccomend her to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. She went above and beyond for me as I ultimately settled into a home that was a godd distance from her normal sales territory.
She will be the first one I call if i ever decide to sell my home. I know she will be there for me.
"
Brian Cormack (Stoughton)
"We have bought and sold 6 homes. This is the first time we have actually felt truly represented as buyers. Kathleen was looking out for us, not her commission. She shows us how to save a lot of money and was highly ethical. Always on top of the details and extremely responsive. Wish she worked in the area we are listing our current home."
Jean & Scott Batty (Scituate)
"Kathleen Duffy sold us our first home and we could not be more happy with the process. Her thoroughness, honesty, and knowledge make her the best realtor to work with!"
Emily & Eric Litman (Scituate)
With great skepticism I contacted Kathleen Duffy as a buyer's agent through Zillow, leery of the self-promotional process. With unbridled ebullience, I now laud Kathleen Duffy as the BEST real estate agent I've EVER dealt with, seller or buyer. Ms. Duffy brought enthusiasm, strong work ethos, local real estate knowledge, ingenuity, pleasantry, and an accounting background to the table as we searched up and down the South Shore for my new home during some rough personal sailing. Unrequested, she compiled professional market analyses for several houses I had expressed interest in and even went to town halls to pull records that were invaluable in helping me to evaluate my options. Her tireless can-do attitude, real estate expertise, easy accommodation, outside the box thinking, and most importantly, "numbers" background, make her an easy recommendation.
Michael Pevarnik (Hull)
"Kathleen Duffy was wonderful! We moved here from the Midwest and she helped us so much with getting information to us about the different areas so we could narrow down our search of which towns we liked. She emailed and called often and was just so patient with us on our search. She cleared her schedule for a week while we came out and house hunted. From beginning to end, Kathleen was very helpful during the entire process. We were truly blessed to have found such a patient and caring Real Estate agent and would highly recommend her to anyone who buys or sells a home!"
Dennis & Andrea Esker (Scituate)
"I would highly recommend Kathleen Duffy as a real estate agent based on my own personal experience this past year. Kathleen sold my house quickly and took great care in keeping the entire transaction extremely organized. She even installed the correct smoke detectors for us! On the other end, Kathleen sold us our new home with the same high level of professionalism that my husband and I will always be grateful for.
"
Nancy Allen (Scituate/Scituate)
"My experience with Kathleen past all my expectations. Kathleen went above and beyond. Not only did she handle the short sale of our home most professionally, she also found a beautiful home for me to rent. There were no surprises. Kathleen was easy to get in touch with, happy to spend time answering my questions, and genuinely made us feel comfortable with each step taken in the process of a short sale. I need to mention that my ex-husband and I were separated during this time, only because Kathleen, made the extra effort to communicate with both of us, and made a very stressful situation, have the best possible outcome, and all with a smile. I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone, and look forward to working with her in the future when I am ready to buy a house again.
"
(Scituate/Scituate)
"Kathleen represented us in the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one both in Scituate, MA. We picked Kathleen based on the reviews she had received and the great impression she made when we first met. She did not disappoint! She is smart, experienced and knows the real estate market. Her expertise and negotiating skills were invaluable throughout the process of both selling and buying. She would second guess all possible scenarios and was always available when needed. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we consider ourselves lucky to have found her!"
Alison Ward (Scituate MA)
"I have never met an individual with more attention to detail. Kathleen has helped us as both a purchaser and a seller. She researches and thinks of things that would never even cross our minds. Always one step ahead, she keeps track of all of the myriad important legal details of buying and selling. With a professional background in finance and operations, no issue escapes Kathleen's attention. We knew she had our backs and was looking out for our best interest. She is also very compassionate when dealing with the emotional aspect of selling a home. I regret that I was not always my best self during this process, but Kathleen was a true professional. Wish I could give her 10 stars!"
Jean & Scott Batty (Scituate)
"Kathleen recently helped us sell our antique Cape. She has great communication skills and kept in touch every step of the way. Kathleen is very responsive to any questions and concerns. If you are looking for someone to help you sell your home I would highly recommend her."
Mark Stanley (Scituate)
"Kathleen Duffy was Professional and a pleasure to work with Her follow up and attention to detail is superb. If I were selling five homes, I would list them through her."
Kathy S. Dellapa (Scituate, MA)
"After thoroughly reviewing the last years sales of the top agents among several companies, I choose Kathleen Duffy of Raveis after interviewing the top three finalists of my search.
<br />Kathleen impressed me with her knowledge of the market, no-nonsense approach, professionalism, and data driven market evaluation approach. I wanted an agent who was active in the market, and had the portfolio of recent sales to prove it. I was not disappointed with Kathleen, my house sold IMMEDIATELY at the price I wanted. In my market Raveis has the cachet of being a top tier real estate firm with active listings and serious minded agents. It was a pleasure to work with Kathleen and Raveis."
Richard M. Kantor (Scituate, MA)

"As a representative of William Raveis, Kathleen Duffy was truly a trusted advisor in all aspects of the search and acquisition process behind our home purchase. Her relentless assistance within a highly competitive and challenging housing market, supported by the William Raveis team, was best in class."
Joseph Ferreri (Scituate, MA)
"Kathleen is an agent who easily earns the trust and respect of her clients and the counter parties. She had our backs throughout the entire process, would offer her advice and experience without influencing our own opinions. We would not have made it through the home buying process without her!"

Mrs.Phyllis Vena Villone (Boston, MA)
"I've worked with agents who have over promised in terms of what we should ask for a home we were selling, which can create an eventual feeling of disappointment in the final sale, and disillusionment with agents in general. Kathleen, on the other hand, was right on the money, pun acknowledged."

Mr.Gerard McLaughlin (Humarock, MA)
"We used Kathleen as a buyer's agent for a new construction home. Kathleen was AMAZING! We bought a new construction home and had to negotiate so many details it was overwhelming. Kathleen was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She also visited the property at least weekly if
<br /> not more to make sure that the builder was on track and ensured that quality work was performed. She also worked seemlessly with our William Raveis mortgage and lawyer. I joked that they were our "dream team!" I really can't recommend her enough- she was fantastic!

"William Raveis was great! Our agent helped us through every step of purchasing our first home and was always there to help us and answer any of our questions.

<br />Kathleen helped set up and take us to many showings - sometimes even the same day they were listed! Kathleen's home valuation and negotiating skills are invaluable. We definitely feel like her skills were the key to securing the perfect home for us! Thanks again Kathleen!!"
Ms.Katherine Whittier (Scituate, MA)
"The home we bought was meaningfully out of our price range so we didn't even visit it. Our agent knew the seller's agent and advised us that it may be possible to get in lower than expected. Without that interaction, we never would have seen, loved, and bought the home we did."
Mr.George Scordo (Hingham, MA)

"Kathleen Duffy was highly professional and efficient in dealing with our sales process. Apart from her professional background prior to real estate, which was an important component in choosing her as our agent, her success over the past two years made me confident that she would be able to sell the property quickly and at a reasonable price. We are totally satisfied with the effort she put into this."
