“Carolyn was the perfect broker for me.”
She gave me great advice about how to prepare my home before it was listed and was extremely responsive to my questions regarding the sale of my house. My home sold quickly and I attribute that to Carolyn's expertise, professionalism and her knowledge of the real estate market. I would highly recommend Carolyn. She was diligent, hard working and such a pleasure to work with during a pretty stressful time. - Patti
With Carolyn’s guidance, we had an offer we were thrilled to accept within five days during a rapidly shifting market.

Several years ago, when we started to think about selling our home, we reached out to Carolyn Boyle to better understand the process. We sought advice on maximizing our investment when it was time to sell our beloved family home. After doing a review, she came back with some very concrete suggestions, including advice to update our paint and refinish the hardwood floors. Carolyn suggested we begin that process immediately, so we could enjoy our refreshed home until the time came to sell. It was great advice, as we had raised an active family in the home, and with the kids out of the house, it was fun to have an updated look. She even consulted on paint colors! We loved living in our newly refreshed home, and as life happens, we ended up staying five years after our initial consultation. When the time came to sell, Carolyn gave us detailed information about current market conditions and what we could reasonably expect. Offering suggestions for needed touch-ups and advice on how best to present our home, Carolyn guided us to understand how to get the best price in a highly competitive market. She facilitated both the packing and staging of our home. What could have been a very stressful experience was instead a process that followed a timeline and pace that worked for us and timed to bring our home to market at the optimal date and price. Carolyn listed our home with highly professional presentations, marketing materials, and social media posts designed to showcase our home across a broad market. With Carolyn’s guidance, we had an offer we were thrilled to accept within five days during a rapidly shifting market. There were a few blips during the time frame until closing, but Carolyn’s expertise and steady reassurance kept us calm. We would not hesitate to recommend Carolyn Boyle as a realtor.
“Carolyn demonstrated excellent skills in marketing, staging and negotiating the recent sale of our family home. She worked successfully with all participants, listening attentively and intelligently advising us every step of the way - demonstrating her knowledge and experience. She worked with energy and enthusiasm - she knew what needed to be done and she successfully achieved the result we were looking for.”
A true professional with her clients’ best interests at heart.

We relocated to the Boston Greater Area with a very tight timeframe to buy a house before the school year started. Carolyn took the time to understand our needs, answer our many questions, and help us navigate the local real estate market in an efficient way. Her extensive knowledge of the area was crucial in finding and purchasing a home that we love and is just perfect for us, while making the process feel easy and seamless in an extremely fast paced and competitive market. Once we entered into an agreement, she assisted us through every step of the way. She’s a true professional with her clients best interests at heart. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in this area.
We recommend Carolyn without any qualification to anyone looking to buy a house in the area.

The true measure of greatness in any profession is the ability to perform under adverse circumstances. In the summer of 2016, when the sellers ruled and inventories were at an all-time low, Carolyn Boyle came through gloriously for us by helping us buy a home in Belmont at a great value.
Carolyn is a true embodiment on what a true professional should be. She has the grace, intelligence, diligence and steadfastness that the job demands. She went with us to countless open houses and patiently listened as we went back and forth on our “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves”. She always put our priorities first, but at the same time ensured that our focus was never lost. There was never an indication of pressure tactics to get the sale done.
She has an eye for what the undervalued assets are in an inflated market. When we put in the offer for the house, she championed our case by highlighting our interest and our love for the house.
We recommend Carolyn without any qualification to anyone looking to buy a house in the area. Her local knowledge and her skills make her the “Number One” in our books.
“I could not have asked for a better realtor!”
I could not have asked for a better realtor! Carolyn had the expertise and demeanor that helped manage a tricky situation with the sale of our home. She never tired of answering questions or coming up with unique solutions. Her knowledge of the market and real estate, in general, is unsurpassed. I would highly recommend her.

“She always thought to ask the important questions”
Carolyn was very knowledgeable about the Boston market and came prepared with lots of comparable property data, and was very helpful in assessing the quality of the investment. She was friendly and professional and always thought to ask some of the important questions that I forgot, and was realistic in discussing my concerns.

“We are thrilled…”
In our search for a condo, we reviewed a few Realtors before deciding to partner with Carolyn. What appealed to us most was her knowledge of the Boston market–especially Waltham, Watertown, Belmont, and Newton, and her ability to patiently help us narrow down our requirements and location. Once Carolyn had our requirements, she was able to present us with the right fit options, whenever they became available. Be it covered parking or cooking gas, she could locate great options for us based on our demanding requirements.
Once we decided to make the purchase, Carolyn was there each step of the way, playing the role of a trusted advisor, until we moved in. It has been a pleasure working with Carolyn, and we are thrilled to have engaged her services in our search for our condo.

“Our house sold sooner than many others”
Carolyn helped us sell our house during the middle of one of the coldest and snowiest winters in recent history. She introduced me to someone who was able to help me sort through decades of accumulated belongings. She posted a beautiful video of our house online, with music, which certainly helped our house sell as quickly as it did. Most important was the research she did on house values in our neighborhood. Thus our house was listed at a reasonable price, and sold sooner than many other houses that had been on the market for many months.

Carolyn’s ability to bring out the best in a home through her attention to detail is unparalleled.
— Elaine and Bruce
With Carolyn’s expert guidance and limitless energy at our disposal we were able to ready our house for market at the right time, for the right price, looking like a buyer’s dream. Carolyn’s ability to bring out the best in a home through her attention to detail is unparalleled. Working together, we refreshed and staged the house beautifully and by the time our doors opened for our first (and only) open house, it had never looked better, as the many offers indicated. She kept us focused on our priorities and never let us lose sight of our goals. Based on her thorough research of our particular housing market, we set timing goals and pricing strategies that were spot on, and with her constant encouragement, we exceeded all expectations with regards to time on market and sale price of our home. Can’t thank you enough, Carolyn!
She is the best in terms of integrity, knowledge of real estate, negotiating skills, ability to effectively deal with clients, and getting the best deal.

If you are considering selling or purchasing a home in Belmont, Cambridge, Watertown and other nearby suburbs, Carolyn Boyle of is your agent! She is the best in terms of integrity, knowledge of real estate, negotiating skills, ability to effectively deal with clients, and getting the best deal for her clients.
Carolyn was “spot on” when it came to the two most important elements of selling a home: condition of the property and price. In terms of setting the price, she recommended an initial price, with the expectation that we would fine-tune it as we went along, keeping an eye on any changes in the market. In the end, the price she recommended when the house was ready to be listed was just right, as we had 5 offers on the property within 2 weeks, and we were delighted with the final sales price. Throughout the process, Carolyn continuously impressed us with her expertise, her recommendations, her diligence, her humor, and her never-ending hard work on our behalf.
An additional bonus to us was Carolyn’s strength in interior design and color. We were having every interior surface of the house painted, and she provided us with the beautiful, subtle colors that sell houses today–something we could not have done on our own. The staging, which we contracted with Carolyn to do, was tasteful and just the right amount to enable potential buyers to see a warm, livable home without being overwhelmed by someone else’s decor. As you can see, I truly think Carolyn is the best real estate agent you can find to be an advocate for you in the sale or purchase of a home.
