Why Work With Us?

Over nearly 20 years, our realtor has proved invaluable in helping us buy two homes. His advice isn't just about the present; he guides us with an eye on future financial health and the value of good neighborhoods. He's not one to let us rush into a purchase based on a house's curb appeal alone, focusing instead on its overall quality and potential issues.

His extensive experience and connections in real estate and home renovations have been so helpful to us, offering trusted contacts for any need. Steve's straightforward approach, emphasizing long-term satisfaction over quick sales, is what cemented our trust. For new home buyers, his blend of immense market knowledge and honest advice is exactly what you need for a wise investment. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to navigate the home-buying process with confidence.

I had the pleasure of working with Tracy Wallace, and the experience was exceptional. She was professional, prompt, and knew the Arlington market inside out. Her negotiation skills were top-notch, and helped us get favorable deal. Meticulous attention to detail and unwavering integrity made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Tracy for anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor.

My wife and I reached out to Steve and the Home Advantage team in August as they were the top rated local-Arlington team. We promptly began working with Tracy Wallace and immediately knew she was the best person to help us navigate the competitive real estate market in Arlington.

Spoiler: we thought we would enter the market Spring of 2024, but she got us into our dream home within four months! Tracy’s connection to the community, incredible work-ethic, and strong background in real estate transactions made us feel completely at ease during the buying process.

She went above and beyond in thoughtfully answering any questions we had, and was able to provide us with fast and knowledgeable feedback on homes that helped refine our search. We ended up purchasing a home that was being represented by other agents on the Home Advantage team and the transaction was quite seamless as a result.

It is clear that Tracy is well respected by other agents, contractors, and people in the community, and for good reason. Tracy was a true partner in the process, and we had a blast working with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch agent!

We engaged Tracy Wallace as our buyer's agent for our first home. Tracy was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the whole process, always responsive, and available. She made us feel like she had all the time in the world to answer our questions and help us along a steep learning curve. After the purchase, she has continued to help us with referrals to services and tradespeople. She was able to draw on her deep and longstanding connections to and knowledge of local real estate to help us find the perfect home.

Kristen and Steve provided concierge-level service from day one with the sale of our home. Every step of the process was handled professionally, tactfully, and efficiently. We had a trip planned that coincided with our scheduled open houses and, ultimately, our offer signing process but we knew we trusted Kristen and Steve to handle these matters while we were away. Through their expertise and guidance, we were able to obtain several extremely competitive offers within hours of our first open house. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone anticipating buying or selling a home and we are delighted we chose them to help us navigate this process.

Steve McKenna and his team were absolutely remarkable in helping me sell my home. I was selling it under extremely stressful circumstances that included some unrelated unforeseen and uncontrollable delays and Steve was incredibly understanding and supportive throughout the process while still keeping the process moving forwards towards a sale and closing. He explained every detail of what was happening to me clearly without ever being condescending and clearly knows the local market inside and out. Steve was able to get my house - despite its quirks - sold within the first weekend at a price I was thrilled with.

His team is also remarkable and beyond the core team he seems to "have a guy" for every situation that could possibly need handling (lawn work, carpentry, etc). Despite my being out of town for most of this process I always felt like things were entirely in good hands. (My family jokes now that we wish we had Steve as just a "fixer" in our day to day lives to just figure out how to solve whatever frustrating issues we don't know where to begin dealing with!)

I cannot say enough good things about Steve and every single member of his team that I interacted with and cannot imagine working with anyone else for realty in the area. Thank you, Steve!

Great team around Steve with excellent professionalism and experience to sell our property. Steve listened to our requests and was always available to help in any way.

Tracy Wallace is above and beyond: she was meticulous, strategic, responsive and thoughtful as our agent — helping us manage everything up to the sale (and soliciting good offers) while we were out of state. Would recommend her 110% for your real estate needs. We would contact her again if we were selling or buying in MA again!

We could not have been happier with our home buying process than we were with Kristen and Steve. We bought in an incredibly tight/competitive market, but Kristen and Steve listened to our needs and equipped us with so much information during the search and offer process that we felt at ease. They were especially helpful during negotiations and making sure our offer was accepted and that all of the paperwork was completed in time. If not for them, I truly think we would still be looking for a house now, 4 months later. We are so happy with our new home and cannot recommend this team enough!

Tracy is lovely to work with - she is responsive, intelligent, kind, and fun.  She has a great team to support her - stager, cleaner, window washer, etc. - who are all high quality.  Tracy is easily available to answer your questions, and is always willing to help with a home owner’s chores. She goes out of her way to support her clients and to consider their point of view. I can only give high marks to Tracy as a prospective seller’s marketing companion.
