Georgia is in one word Exceptional. As a relocation client, I needed a lot of education on Boston and its surrounding neighborhoods. Moving to a new city with sticker shock, high expectations and zero knowledge was quite a challenge, but Georgia was dedicated to my success and knocked it out of the park. I like to say that we eat, pray, loved all over Boston - but it was mostly me praying for a great home while Georgia showed me her incredible love for this city. She took me to hidden gems to eat in each area we looked at making sure that I knew what the neighborhood had to offer. My focus moving to a new city was to find a walkable place with everything at my fingertips and within budget. Georgia listened, she pushed me when I needed it and educated me when it was necessary. She never just told me something without showing me as well. This was important that I understood why a certain property wouldn't fit my needs even though it was staged wonderfully. She would put together full day excursions with detailed info sheets for me to make the most out of our time together. She was fast, professional, competitive, and always with an innovative edge on how to anticipate competition. I am living in my dream condo, with a dream view, in my dream neighborhood complete with amazing restaurants and a park close by all because of her dedication to my happiness and her fierce expertise. I highly recommend Georgia, especially for those relocating from another area.

Georgia was our agent while my wife and I were looking to buy our first home and she has my wholehearted recommendation to anyone looking to buy a home in Massachusetts. We had an ambitious set of must-haves, especially for our budget and in such a competitive market, but we were able to get every single one, and at significantly under budget thanks to Georgia's expert guidance. Not only is she dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional, she was also extremely conscious of our needs as first-time home-buyer. In particular, she never once recommended we waive the inspection contingency in our offer and always ensured that all floors of our house would be 'tall enough for John to fit' (I am 6'3"). She's an excellent agent and we would be happy to have her represent us again in the future.

I would highly recommend Georgia Balafas as a Realtor to any potential home buyers in Boston and the surrounding suburbs. I've worked with Georgia on over 50 transactions over the last 12 years. She always has her client's best interest at heart, is a great communicator and puts the time and effort in to provide all the relevant information to her clients to make an informed decision. When choosing a realtor, I think it's important to find someone who is honest, a market expert and a proven negotiator, Georgia is all of those things. I've also observed that she builds great rapport with her clients and gets tremendous loyalty back in return!

Georgia is a dedicated professional. Wildly knowledgeable about the market in and around Boston, she indulged my husband and I as we looked all over, learning the different towns and figuring out what was best for us. Many hours driving all around and looking at so many houses- but she was always ready with a smile and prepared to get down to business when we liked something. Her expertise negotiating offers and contracts made the process as low stress as possible- and left us feeling confident and secure. I have referred her to all my friends and look forward to working with her again one day should the need arise.

It was such an absolute pleasure working with Georgia to purchase my home. She is by far the role model for how all real estate agents should be. She is patient, transparent, organized, strategic, and a subject matter expert in real estate and the Boston area market. Between her experience and her excellent listening skills, Georgia was able to help me narrow down my search and find the right match - even though, in the beginning, I was unclear about what I was looking for in size or neighborhood. With her patience & attention to detail, Georgia has a way of making each of her clients feel like they are the only client she has. When it was time to make the offer, her sharp negotiation skills helped me secure the property while remaining within my range. She is fantastic to work with and connected me with an all-star team to help me with the entire closing process. But that wasn't all! She supported me even after closing with recommendations for resources to help me set up my home. If you are looking for an expert and human-centered agent, I highly recommend Georgia.

I've worked with multiple realtors in the past and my experience with Georgia was unparalleled. Her attention to detail, transparency, responsiveness, and advice made my home buying process go seamlessly. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy agent to buy or sell your property.

I have known Georgia as a colleague, friend, and client for over ten years. Georgia has handled several real estate transactions for me as both a buyer and seller broker and she is the consummate professional. Georgia is knowledgeable, meticulous, attentive to detail, responsible, thorough, and patient (in an industry where patience is an essential!). She recently staged my home using professional artwork on loan from a local gallery as well as aerial photographs taken via drone! In a difficult market Georgia had two offers from the first three prospective buyers to view the home and put the property under agreement within days of its coming on the market. Georgia is engaging, respectful and tireless-My recommendation is given with the highest of praise and enthusiasm!

Georgia was recommended to me by a friend when I made the decision to start the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect (and I do mean absolutely zero knowledge). Georgia mapped out the high-level process with me in our first meet and greet, then throughout the search made sure that at every step I knew exactly what to expect and felt comfortable with how I wanted to proceed. She answered my many questions, connected me with all the people needed to help purchase my place, and taught me so much about my own home along the way. It's clear to me through Georgia's proactive and curious nature, diligent attention to detail, and genuine thoughtfulness that not only is she the expert in her field, she also truly loves her work. I closed on my first condo yesterday and couldn't be happier! I will recommend Georgia to every friend going forward and look forward to working with her again when I'm ready to purchase my second home.

My wife and I have worked with Georgia on two property purchases and one property sale. In all three cases, our expectations were always exceeded. Georgia brings a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Boston area to the table. She makes sure to carefully listen to your priorities, while answering your questions and providing helpful suggestions on the best strategy to take. We've never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision with Georgia and always feel that she has our best interests in mind. Recently, Georgia helped us with a condo sale - we were impressed with the suggestions she made prior to the open house, the attention to detail at the open house, and the great feedback we received from folks who attended. We were able to sell the property within the first weekend, for above our asking price. For all of these reasons, we continue to work with Georgia and have referred many of our friends to her based on the overwhelmingly positive experiences we've had with her in the past.

Georgia Balafas is the real estate broker that you want to have working on your behalf. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, trends and sales process, has excellent judgment, has a solid team supporting her and is lovely to work with. I recommend her without reservation.

I can't thank Georgia enough for all of her hard work and dedication. Georgia has helped me purchase two homes and sell one in the North End of Boston in the past five years. She is everything you would want your real estate agent to be. She's professional, punctual, diligent, honest, always available - just to name a few of her many qualities. She's tremendously knowledgeable about all areas of Boston and has provided incredible advice that has resulted in financial gains throughout our five years together. I will continue to use Georgia in all my future transactions. She's become a true friend in a business that can at times be very volatile. Thanks again for everything, Georgia!

We have worked with Georgia through the purchase and sale of a home and two apartment rentals. In each scenario, she maintained a level of professionalism, kindness and patience that is unprecedented. She manages to juggle many variables, complex schedules, and wear many hats while keeping a calm composure and upbeat attitude!

Georgia is a pleasure to work with. She patiently took me to look at 30+ houses and many times knew before I did whether or not it was the right one. She helped to think of important details to consider when buying a house that I may have otherwise overlooked. She's very thorough, detail- oriented and has great follow through. She also didn't try to push a sale on me as many agents will just to get a commission. I would buy (or sell) another house with Georgia in a heartbeat!

Georgia is an amazing Realtor. I was a first home buyer and appreciated Georgia's patience with me. She not only helped me find my wonderful home, she explained every step of the process, understood and addressed my concerns before I said a word and was available whenever I needed. Boutique services with a smile. I highly recommend Georgia to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate.

Georgia was wonderful to work with. She made me feel like I were her only clients (I probably took advantage of that!). She was always available and responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had, even silly and minor ones. She kept me calm in the process of buying my first house. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will use her in the future!

We are writing to express our complete satisfaction with Georgia Balafas as a realtor. Throughout the entire process of both purchasing our new home, and selling our old home, Georgia was extremely professional, conscientious, and motivated. We always felt we were Georgia's only client. Georgia was always quick with promptly returning all phone calls. Georgia worked hard, illustrated a great understanding of contract details, negotiation etiquette, and documentation. We highly recommend Georgia to anyone looking for a highly effective and reliable real estate agent!

I have bought properties in Europe and Asia but was new to the US market when I worked with Georgia. Among the many agents I have worked with, Georgia is exceptional. She is unusually knowledgable and responsive, and she has rare capability to anticipate customer needs. I recommend her very strongly to other buyers.

As a first-time home buyer, I greatly appreciate Georgia's dedication to helping me make such a big life decision. She patiently explained each step of the home search and home buying processes to me, and gave me great education and time to let me explore the market fully. She invested the time to get to know me as a person, rather than just another client, and really custom tailored her recommendations to my needs and preferences. Thanks to Georgia's pleasant and professional demeanor, she has great relationships with realtors in the area, which was a huge benefit when going in to offer and negotiations processes. Even after we made a decision on the house and the offer had been negotiated, Georgia stuck with us to help us navigate home inspections and legal proceedings - she really went above and beyond the call as an agent, and became a trusted adviser for us. In the end, I felt that Georgia was as personally invested as I was in making sure we found the perfect home, and I believe this must be a very rare find in the real estate industry.

Georgia helped us through the process of purchasing our first home. She patiently explained all the steps of the process, from home search to closing and answered all of our questions no matter how simple or complex. She adapted to our personalities and to how we analyzed information. We were initially intimidated by the home buying process but Georgia's patience, hard work, and professional demeanor helped ease all of our concerns and made the process go very smoothly. She has great relationships with multiple individuals (inspectors, lawyers, lenders) and recommended these people to us without being pushy. She listened to all our needs and wants for our dream home and went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we wanted and within our price range. Georgia is very knowledgeable in the industry and is well connected, which made our entire experience very pleasant and easy to navigate. She is very responsive and even anticipated some of our needs. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. We were very lucky to have her as our agent and would work with her again!

I first started looking for real estate on my own. Quickly, I realized that buying property in Ma. is now a very complex process, and one that I would do best to use an expert. I contacted Georgia, who from the start made everything easy! She provided excellent guidance and was essential for dealing with the negotiating, financing and closing portion of the deal. I am a very satisfied customer.

Georgia helped us purchase our first home. She patiently explained all the steps of the process, and answered all of our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner. She listened to all of our concerns and needs for a new home and went above and beyond to find the types of homes we were interested and within our budget. Georgia was very patient, worked very hard to make the entire process go smoothly, and was always professional and positive. It was a real pleasure to work with her! We would recommend her to anyone, whether first time homebuyers like us or experienced homebuyers.

Georgia is a very knowledgeable and thorough person who is able to get the job done quickly and efficiently. She was also available at any hour to answer my questions. I could not have asked for a better person to work with.

Georgia is a kind, personable professional who goes out of her way to connect with others and ensure she does what she can to meet or exceed expectations. She has a rapid communication response time and displays integrity in her work.

I highly recommend Georgia for all your real estate needs. In March of 2013 I moved from Atlanta, GA to South Boston, MA. Being new to Boston, Georgia showed me several neighborhoods in the metro Boston area and explained several of the pro's & con's of each neighborhood. Georgia is very detail oriented and would always send out a daily agenda that would highlight what properties we were looking at each day. She did a great job negotiating on my behalf and put me in contact with others in the real estate industry leading to a flawless closing.

Buying a home is a stressful experience, but you wouldn't know it working with Georgia. She was there every step of the way (from initial tours to closing) making sure that my first-time home-buying experience was a process that should be viewed as an accomplished milestone. She goes the extra mile to personalize the process, understanding who you are, what you care about, and exactly what you're looking for. Superb to work with and highly recommended. Georgia is fantastic.
