We hired Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team to sell our home in Arlington, and we're really glad we did. The sale turned out to be way more complicated than we expected, but the team handled every part of it, from staging and showings to negotiations, and kept things moving the whole time. Everyone was responsive, professional, and honestly great to work with, and they never gave up even when things got tough. Their persistence really made the difference. We truly appreciate all the hard work, and we'd happily recommend the team to anyone selling a home in Arlington.

I cannot speak highly enough about Tracy Wallace, Steve McKenna, and the entire Arlington Gibson Sotheby's International Realty team!! Tracy and Steve are true experts in the market, pricing, cosmetic repair/renovation needs, and negotiations. I recently worked directly with Tracy Wallace for two home sales in Cambridge and Arlington, and she is warm, kind, reliable, efficient, and highly responsive. She was just on top of everything that needed to get done, sending timely reminders, giving updates, hand-holding, advising, and even being an emotional support during the inevitable ups and downs of home selling! Both Tracy and Steve are consummate professionals whom I recommend without a single hesitation or reservation. I look forward to using the Gibson Sotheby's team as my representation as a buyer in the coming year or two!

Steve McKenna and his entire team were just fantastic. Very informative about the real estate market.
Set up everything for us, from painting to detailed cleaning and staging. They knew just what to do to attract the right buyers for our condominium unit. Updated us all along the way on what was going on and what was happening next.
Explained in terms we could understand, from the open house details to the offer bids to the final contract and closing. Made it very easy for us.
Really nice, nice people to do business with.

He and the team are always available to answer questions, and they always make sure you feel comfortable in the process by understanding your needs. I highly recommend working with Steve, Kristen, Mitzi, and the entire Gibson Sotheby's team in Arlington.

My wife and I were very happy with the support the McKenna team provided us in selling our house in Arlington, MA. We were in the middle of a long-distance move and were able to lean on this team to take care of many of the home sale activities while we were out of town. They have great support for repairs and handyman work, landscaping, cleaning, and staging, and got the house sale-ready and on the market quickly. They helped check in on the house during the sale and were easy to get in touch with and very communicative throughout the process. Their support definitely made our transition much easier, and we are glad to have used them.

Through every step of our sale, we felt that Steve and Kristen had our best interests in mind. I was dreading the entire process, but they were with us every step of the way, with encouragement, attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism. In my mind, this is the only group to consider when buying or selling.

I've lived in Arlington for over 20 years and owned a few houses in town. My kids have grown up, and it came time to sell "the big house". I wasn't sure what to do, so I called Steve McKenna. Steve and Mark Garbino made the process painless. I could not have asked for more. Their team was very professional and very good. The house looked spectacular for the showing. They made everything easy and explained the process clearly. Mark was there every step of the way. I was impressed and grateful.

Steve McKenna came to us highly recommended, having helped a number of neighbors buy their houses. We needed help selling ours, and we didn't know where to start. We were moving out of state, and hadn't decided where exactly. I would not have blamed him if he'd rolled his eyes, but instead he reassured us that we had plenty of options and could work at our own pace. His long experience in Arlington proved essential, as he always knew what we should do, what we should not do, and who we should call to make various final preparations.
Throughout the process, Steve was always available to answer our questions. A couple of days before closing, after we had left the state, a big nor'easter came through. Steve answered our call to put out our pump to keep the basement dry, for which we were very grateful.
We highly recommend Steve for his experience in Arlington, his knowledge of real estate, his network of contacts, and his ability to remain cool under stress.
