"Like most first time home buyers, we were inexperienced and nervous. In particular, we were anxious about relocating from Northern California to Massachusetts. We were leaving familiar settings and relocating to a State in which we had spent fewer than 48 hours. Fortunately, we met Paula Meallo. She truly made a difference. Paula worked closely with us for 2 months and adhered to our tight time schedule to purchase a home. She was extremely patient with us during our "learning" process. When we decided to rescind one offer, Paula continued to commit her energy to us.Even after purchasing our home, she was key in identifying many resources for us to set-up house. This was especially important to us as we had no network to identify individuals to remove old carpeting, refinish hardwood floors, and purchase wood for the winter. However, when we asked her about buying a snow blower, she adamantly assured us Californians that we would not need one. Well as you can guess, we had over a 100 inches of snow that first few months. We still laugh about that!"   John and Kristin Ryan, Cohasset, MA
