Ilene was a pleasure to work with. As I was a first time homebuyer, she was able to answer any questions I had throughout the process as well as break things down when needed. Another thing I appreciated about Ilene was her flexibility in working around my work schedule.

First time home buyer. We've been looking on and off in the Boston area for the past 3 years. We've made around 10 offers before finally getting a house. Ilene has helped us with every single offer. And once we got a place, we were able to get a good rate from Guaranteed Rate and a smooth closing process. Highly recommend.

Ilene was very patient with my extensive list of questions as a first time home buyer and always ready with helpful information. I would be happy to work with her in the future.

We first met Ilene through Somerville's First Time Homebuyers class. We knew about two minutes into her presentation that we had found our lender. She has a commanding and assuring presence, and our instincts did not lead us astray. I write this with no hyperbole: Ilene might be the most efficient person I have ever met. She is incredibly available & responsive, answers every question thoroughly to ensure complete understanding, has a great humor, and swiftly got us a mortgage navigating our unusual financial situation (read... read more

Ilene was wonderful to work with. She made us feel at ease financing our first home, expertly helped us navigate the challenges of applying for our first mortgage, and offered competitive rates. She really went the extra mile, and now we are her clients for life!

I met Ilene at a first time home buyer class where she was speaking. I knew I wanted to work with her not only after hearing her speak, but also when she insisted that I take money for my meter so that I wouldn't have to go back upstairs to get more. Ilene approaches her business with the same kindness. She is always willing to explain things in detail, hash out numbers, or entertain the worries of first time home buyer. She understands what a huge purchase this is and never rushes anything along. I would recommend her and h... read more

My husband and I closed on our condo a few days ago and we have to thank Ilene and her team for this. It was the best mortgage experience we've ever had. We were able to close at a record time thanks to Ilene's knowledge and professionalism. She is extremely organized, experienced and hard working. Ilene went above and beyond by recommending us to a seller's broker. This helped us to stand out of all other offers in this competitive market. She also did everything possible to get us the best rate. Ilene's team is wonderful a... read more

We were recommended to reach out to Ilene by a colleague, and we'll be recommending her to others. Ilene is knowledgable, responsive, and helped us understand every step of the process. In addition to doing her own job very well, she recommended a number of other folks to us (including our eventual buyer's agent) and each recommendation was excellent. For a first-time buyer with no prior experience or connections, this was extremely valuable. If you are a first-time buyer and need somewhere to start, Ilene is a great choice.
