Testimonials
"Omar was a great support on our buying experience. He had a good amount of inventory available and was very clear in our wants and needs. He has a very good knowledge and understanding of the market and helped us a lot evaluating the options and providing inputs while we made our offer. He got us an early visit on the place we ended up buying which gave us an edge over other potential buyers that had to wait for the open house. He seems to have very good connection and is willing to share all the knowledge. I would recommend specially if you are looking around Newton area.

"We worked with Omar during 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, to find a new home for our growing family and to sell our current home. We had a great relationship with our prior broker, but after meeting Omar for breakfast (before quarantine - and he insisted on picking up the check), I realized that Omar?s depth of knowledge and connections in the Newton and Needham areas was unsurpassed. As someone who is also a home builder himself, Omar cultivates strong relationships with other brokers, architects, contractors, sellers, and myriad other service providers that help him gain knowledge about properties long before they come to market. Omar listened and learned what we were looking for to filter out the noise, showing us properties that fit what we were seeking. When we made an offer, we trusted in Omar?s market insight and intuition, and he helped guide us through some particularly difficult negotiations, always going a step beyond expectations to be helpful. During our sale process, I was again amazed by the effort Omar put forth to optimize our property for sale. He helped stage the property with help from his colleagues at Diduca Properties, found painters and plumbers to help with small, odd jobs at a fair rate, and arranged for amazing photos to be taken by Kerry Howell at Picture Perfect Homes. We relied upon his instincts on pricing, and ended up selling way over asking. All around we had fantastic results and are grateful to Omar and his team. He?s a great guy, well-liked by all, gives back to his community, exceptionally hard-working, and eager to help his clients however he can. We strongly recommend him as a broker for both buy and sell transactions.

"We worked with omar on finding us a townhouse in newton. Which seemed almost impossible. Omar was able to use his local contacts and expertise to find us something that was not even fully constructed yet. He was always available for issues that came up with the developer (which were a ton) and he helped us navigate through all of it. He was even willing to get his hands dirty and help on the job site for a minor fix we did that the developer screwed up, which is way above and beyond any agent would do! He was very helpful in negotiating and the legalities. If he didn?t know something (which wasn?t often) he always had a list of people he could reach out to for more info. Omar was great to work with and highly recommend. We referred him to a coworker and he found them a great come as well.

"My wife and I hired Omar to sell our condo in Southie after he helped us purchase a townhouse in Newton. Omar's outstanding. He had a great listing / open house strategy, he lined up a few contractors to fix some small items, and he even staged a few rooms and stored some of our furniture that we wanted removed for the open houses. He's always early, has great attention to detail, and has good instincts/recommendations. He's also extremely responsive ? if you text, call, or email him, he'll get back to you within minutes. We had two offers above asking price on the day of the first open house, and Omar coordinated everything for a smooth closing.

"An agent that actually listens to his clients and understands specific needs/ wishes. Omar was phenomenal locating properties that fitted our budget, needs, location, likes. Very patient, He has deep knowledge of the local market and that gives him the edge. He is not afraid to give you advice, also goes the extra mile, very responsive, proactive ad easy to work with. One thing we loved is that he is no pushy at all. He helped us as our Buyer's Agent and we will definitely recommend him to anyone buying or listing.

"I can?t recommend Omar highly enough. We were difficult clients in every sense of the word and Omar dealt with all of our issues with professionalism and speed. I am confident that we only actually even got our dream house in the end thanks to Omar?s extensive local knowledge and experience. Omar is an excellent negotiator and stayed calm during the entire process. Thank you Omar for making this happen for us!

"My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Omar as a buyer's agent. He clearly understood our needs, wants, and limitations, and truly had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. Frequently, he would find and arrange showings of properties that were not even listed yet. He was responsive, proactive, and practical. We saw dozens of homes with Omar, but he was always patient, and helped us to understand the pros and cons of each. When it came time for us to make an offer, he helped us to have confidence at each step along the way. Omar will be our first choice when we are ready to make our next move. We can't recommend him enough!

"Omar was a phenomenal agent. He had access to properties before they were listed, helped us with staging our home for sale, was accessible and responsive at any time and was just overall great to work with. He never pressured us to make a decision we weren't comfortable with and provided practical and timely advice. I have already recommended him to friends!
