Why Work With Us?

We recently worked with Steve and Mark to sell our home in Woburn, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They provided a detailed market analysis, a marketing plan to showcase our home beautifully, and quick communication every step of the way. Thank you, Steve and Mark, for your outstanding service. We highly recommend working with this fantastic real estate team.

Steve and his team did an excellent job selling our house. The staging and sales preparation recommendations were very well received and the timing and sales process went extremely well. The house -- which had a fair number of age-related flaws -- sold very very quickly, and with zero hiccups along the way. It was priced well and the team was able to generate a bit of a bidding war during the very quick sales process. Steve and Kristen were a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the end result.

I highly recommend Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team. I recently sold my home with Steve's help; he was recommended by a neighbor. I had been in my home in Medford for 25 years and was looking to downsize. Steve was with me every step of the way. I am die hard DIYer and with several projects happening; Steve helped direct my energy to the projects that mattered and were of greater value for me and the sale. I was astonished at the level of detail of knowledge Steve had of the market and the pricing of my home - I had offers within days, at top dollar - and decided on a buyer within a week. Steve is an old hand at real estate, this was the first time I had sold a home; so his understanding of the emotional ups and downs was really appreciative. If I had to do it over again I would not hesitate to call Steve McKenna and The Home Advantage Team!

Recently, we sold our beloved home of 51 years. To say it was anxiety-ridden would be an understatement.

We procrastinated for quite a while and realized that it was time. 

We placed a call to Steve McKenna of Gibson Sotheby’s, which was the best thing we ever did! His expertise and tremendous knowledge of all aspects of real estate is unsurpassed. He guided us with kindness with professionalism from the beginning to the end. We would like to thank Steve and his wonderful team for getting us through a very stressful time and our life.

Mike Pallotta helped me sell my aunt's home after her death. The house had been my grandmother's prior and part of my family for over 60 years. Mike knew this was an emotional, unfamiliar process for me. He was kind, caring and patient.

Mike's communication was spot on. He explained every step and what to expect next. He listened and made sure I was comfortable with any decisions to be made. Mike was helpful and always quick to respond to any questions, concerns or updates.

Throughout the whole process he was professional and very knowledgeable. The dedication from him and his team went above and beyond. Mike brought me comfort throughout the whole selling process.

I would recommend Mike to my family & friends looking to buy or sell. I was in the best of hands!

In the late 1970s, my husband and I built a home on the Sheepscot River in Sheepscot Village, Maine. We became international school teachers until 2000. So, the experience of navigating the sale of a condominium in 2024 was daunting. I had been away from real estate for over 2 decades. Being recently widowed, I felt I was in a precarious situation.

I sought a local realtor in Arlington, MA. where I relocated after returning from the Peace Corps in 2016. Steve McKenna and his team offered the expertise I needed. They provided compassion and patience, walking me through the real estate experience. Their communication skills were excellent. Unforeseen difficulties were handled with grace and sensitivity.

Steve and his team provided knowledge of local workmen to hire. They coordinated work schedules for the hires to prepare the condominium for sale. Their empathy and expertise were invaluable. I highly recommend Steve McKenna and is team as trustworthy, caring and extremely professional.

Kristen was terrific to work with while we were searching for our new home. Her knowledge, patience and attention to detail made the process seamless and her enthusiasm and humor made it fun. I highly recommend Kristen & Steve's team to anyone planning a move.

I couldn’t be more grateful to Tracy and Steve for their incredible work in selling my home. From start to finish, they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their professionalism, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail were evident in every step.

They took the time to thoroughly understand my needs and priorities, providing thoughtful guidance on everything—from setting the right price to preparing the house for listing. Their marketing strategy was spot on.

Their calm demeanor and confidence gave me peace of mind, even during the more stressful moments. Thanks to their expertise and hard work, my home sold quickly and for a great price. I can't recommend Tracy and Steve enough to anyone looking to sell in Arlington or the greater Boston area. They are not just excellent realtors—they are genuinely good people to work with.
