Testimonials:

Helen knew the house we were selling was a special property and engaged potential buyers who were in the market for that type of property.  We sold the house within a couple of weeks to wonderful people. The entire transaction was the best house selling experience I'd ever had or even heard of.

-Bob Zwolinski

Helen Bolino was very professional and personable. Our family was experiencing a difficult time selling my deceased father's house. In a slow economy she managed to find the right buyer. She helped to take care of all the details so that we didn't have to worry. This is not the first time we've worked with Helen and it won't be the last.

-Maureen Gormley

Helen was great to work with. Next time I buy/sell a home, I will work with her again without a doubt. We were first time home buyers, she made the process very easy.  I try to refer people to Helen whenever I can.

-Erik Adams

Helen is wonderful. Throughout what was a very stressful process for me, as a first-time homebuyer, Helen was always accessible, informative, and enormously helpful.  Whenever I called her, she always answered the phone or called me back shortly.  If she didn't know an answer to a question, she immediately found out the information and called me right back.  She took me to see a number of properties, and she offered her insight about things I wouldn't have thought to ask; she really listened when I would give her my thoughts, and I could tell that played into her process of looking for other listings she thought I would like to see.  I would highly recommend her.

-Elissa Torto

We've worked with Helen for well over 10 years.  We know we're in good hands every time we've had the pleasure to work with Helen because she's very knowledgeable about the real estate industry.  Helen's professionalism, friendliness and "can do" attitude are just a few of the qualities that continuously draw us to her.  She not only takes tremendous pride in her work, but also manifests that pride in her commitment and dedication to your particular needs.  I'm not surprised when I read every year that she is one of, if not, the top real estate agent(s) in the area. Even with her great success, she continues to make you feel like you're her only client!

-Chris and Beth Barrett

Helen Bolino helped me sell two properties for my mother's estate. She was prompt, pleasant, prepared and professional from the time of our first meeting. She provided practical, targeted recommendations as I was preparing the house for listing. Her assessment of possible listing and selling prices and her insightful comments regarding the various positive and negative factors which would influence pricing and eventual offers were very helpful.  She offered great guidance and sound advice in the negotiation process and was diligent when it came time to close the deals.  Helen was a pleasure to deal with.  She helped me find everything from a plumber and electrician to a painter and someone to help clean-out of my mother's house.  This was especially helpful as I live in a different state, a 2 1/2 hour drive away.  She met contractors and inspectors at the houses when I could not be there, saving me from countless lost hours of work and many long car trips.  I highly recommend her as an exceptional real estate professional who is extremely knowledgeable, able to market properties effectively, bring in a sale, and guide on through the process of selling a property even in a challenging market.

-Connie McLeod Hunter

Helen,

Now that the home buying process is behind us, we wanted to thank you for the remendous amount of work you put forth to make it happen.  It sure had its ups and downs but your confidence always put us at ease.  You were such a pleasure to work with and your made the process much more managable for the both of us.

Once the house looks a bit nicer we will invite you over to see the results!

Thank you again-

Fondly,

-Mike & Lauren Hall

Helen is absolutely wonderful!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her knowledge of the marketplace and her calm, honest, level-headed approach are just invaluable. We listed our home with Helen, had two offers after the first open house, and it was under agreement within a few weeks. She then helped us find a new home in Lynnfield. With three young boys and only a few months to move, this was a very daunting task for us, to say the least! Helen guided us through the whole process, and was always available to answer questions and offer advice, whether it was 8:00 in the morning or 8:00 at night. Helen kept me sane when emotions ran high, and provided us with the information we needed to make sound decisions. My family could not be happier in our new home. Helen went above and beyond to help us out, for which we can’t thank her enough!

-Karen and John Michalski

Thank you for all your help in finding me a home. Even though my price range was very low, you treated me as if I was a million dollar buyer.  You showed tremendous patience, perseverance and knowledge as you guided me through the short sale process.  I will recommend you to everyone I know.

-Timothy Degrande

I first met Helen Bolino at an open house in Lynnfield. I knew after our first meeting that I wanted to work with her to find a new home in Lynnfield. Although I was not interested in the house she was showing, she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the entire available inventory of homes at that time. I found and purchased a home in Lynnfield with Helen and, gave her the listing to sell my previous home. Helen played a pivotal role in shaping the negotiations for the purchase of that home and, I have used Helen and Northrup Realtors yet again, when I decided to look for my next property. I can always count on Helen to yet the job done.

-Edward Blee

My wife Gerri and I have lived in Lynnfield for most of our married life. During that time we have conducted five real estate transactions with Northrup Associates. The last four, including our current home, have been with Helen Bolino as the agent. In addition to her market knowledge, Helen brings professionalism and an unmatched work ethic to the real estate dynamic. These traits, when combined with her winning personality and ready smile, have made us exclusively, Northrup clients. In none of the transactions has a property been on the market for more than two weeks and almost unfailingly they sold to the first customer. Helen Bolino and Northrup....a winning team."

-Bill & Gerri Frost

"Generally, the process of moving is most stressful however, Helen Bolino and the staff at Northrup Realtors exemplified a high level of professionalism in all aspects of the moving process - from the initial decision to sell, the many details involved in marketing the property, to the final closing.

All paper work was completed in a timely fashion without stress to us the homeowners. We were particularly impressed with Helen as a "detail person" - we never had to worry about the processing or gathering of vital documents. Helen did it all!!! Kudos to Northrup Realtors for their excellence!"

-Sal & Maryellen Lentine

Helen Bolino helped us as well as and our children during the selling and buying of our homes. Throughout the process she displayed the utmost professionalism. With a wide base of knowledge, she made the process intelligible to "non real estate" people. She is very honest and sincere. Her integrity was evident from the the listing to the passing. Helen was always available to answer any questions and provide valuable information, to ease any anxiety we encountered during an unfamiliar process. She is a very honorable person and we would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank her as well as the wonderful staff at Northrup Real Estate for all their help.
