Full reviews page: https://www.luongolistings.com/reviews > "We are beyond grateful for Kendra!! She helped us find our very first home in Weymouth, which we renovated ourselves and asked her for help with selling it! She went above and beyond to help negotiate and make the selling process with a new baby as smooth and as quickly as possible. She then helped us find our current home in Duxbury in a highly competitive beachside South Shore market. She truly listened to our needs, always made time for our questions, and never stopped advocating for us. Kendra's dedication, care, and constant support made what could have been a stressful journey feel exciting and meaningful. We couldn't imagine going through this without her and recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!" — Cara (5/5 stars), Duxbury > "Kendra was able to get us exactly what we wanted even though we didn't know what we wanted. My wife and I desperately wanted to stay in Boston. Kendra was very open and transparent about what we could get if we stayed in the city. We were very stubborn and hoped she was wrong but she was absolutely correct. We eventually came around to the idea of checking out the suburbs and fell in love with Waltham. Kendra was able to get us an awesome opportunity in a brand new construction single family home in an amazing neighborhood. Everyday we are happier and happier with our decision to take Kendra's advice and open our search to the suburbs. I really appreciate her ability to observe what we "actually" wanted without us directly saying it and then gently nudging us in that direction until we finally realized it for ourselves. She was never going to let us settle for something she knew we wouldn't be happy with in the long term. Thank you Kendra for getting us into an absolutely awesome home that we love more and more every day!" — Rob (5/5 stars), Waltham > "Kendra was a pleasure to work with through a difficult home buying process. She was able to successfully navigate our negotiations as our new home needed a lot of updating. Kendra was incredibly responsive through the entire process and has connected me with a number of different vendors before, during and after the closing. We would highly recommend Kendra for anyone's home buying/selling needs." — Scott (5/5 stars), Westwood ## Neighborhood Expertise ### Needham - Median Home Price: $1,150,000 - School Rating: 9/10 - Walk Score: 42/100 - Transit Score: 30/100 - Lifestyle: Needham is a classic New England town that offers top-tier public schools, a walkable downtown, and a tight-knit community feel.
