Why Work With Us?

Working with Mark Garbino was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive and always available to answer our questions or provide guidance when we needed it. One thing we especially appreciated was that we never felt pressured—he gave us the space to make our own decisions while still offering honest, knowledgeable advice throughout the process.

Mark was always timely and professional, and he worked collaboratively with us to ensure everything stayed on track. He also connected us with a great team of lenders and lawyers, which made the entire process even smoother and less stressful. Mark and his team gave us the clarity and confidence we needed throughout the home buying experience!

We would absolutely work with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Steve and the team were highly recommended by a number of people including my sister, as they had recently managed the sale of her house.

I lived in my house for over 60 years and had never bought or sold a home before. I moved out of Massachusetts before the sale, and they did an exceptional job explaining both the process/steps in selling and providing a reasonable timeline for this to happen. They kept me informed at every step and responded to my emails and calls in a timely manner with complete responses and great suggestions. They also helped me with recommendations on local resources and services I needed to prepare my home for sale.

I would recommend Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Mark not only made this process seamless he helped us not become discouraged after two offers being outbid, but he also kept us motivated in the process of house hunting. He helped us close our 3rd attempt and we were able to get our Home. Mark was always available to answer any of our questions during the closing process and still checks in on us to ensure we are taken care of.

Tracy helped us find our forever home! She was with us throughout the process and was transparent which helped us build trust. Tracy took our needs and wants into consideration and always supported us, but also corrected us when our decisions were misinformed. A fantastic Realtor and friend of the family!

Mark found us our perfect starter home! As first-time home buyers, Mark made the entire process so seamless and much less daunting. He was always available for showings, answered all of our questions in an easy-to-understand way, and kept us feeling optimistic throughout the whole process. I couldn’t recommend him more!

- Danielle & Mike, Buyers, Stoneham

Mark was a terrific guide throughout the process of buying our first home. He was always available for showings, very responsive to texts and calls, all while guiding us seamlessly through the home buying process. We ended up in our dream home and recommend working with Mark to find yours too!

The Home Advantage Team helped us with the difficult process of selling a home that we had lived in for over 35 years. Steve, Mike, and their team of specialist service providers superbly advised us from start to finish, and handled multiple details to help us prepare the house for sale. Their marketing effort was excellent with an extensive outreach. Steve and Mike had great insights about market conditions and the likely targeted buyers for our distinctive home. During the selling process, they provided frequent updates about interested buyers. We give The Home Advantage Team our highest recommendation.

The Home Advantage Team and Annie Kelly were recommended to us by friends when we first started our house hunt in the Arlington and nearby areas. Annie and the team were awesome and worked with us through every step of the process. She always had the right questions to ask, and the contacts needed through the buying process and after we bought our house. Annie sometimes knew what we would like or not like before we did :) Would highly recommend Annie and the team to anyone looking to buy in the Boston area.

Mark just helped us find our new home and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We were first time home buyers and a little intimidated by the market conditions around Boston, but Mark was a steady guide from our first intro call with him all the way through the walkthrough prior to closing day. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this team! I am a real estate agent in Manhattan, and I had a client who was looking to sell his home in Arlington. I Googled "Best Arlington Real Estate Agent" and Steve's team was the first to pop up. I gave him a ring and made the referral happen. From that day on I didn't give it thought and had faith that it would be handled with care. Fast forward 5 months, and I get an email saying the transaction was closed and my check is ready! (which I was not expecting). Steve's team got the deal done and let me know the day it was finished. Moral of the Story - they are a group that truly cares, they get the JOB DONE, and are very trustworthy. Don't look any further if you are a buyer or seller in Greater Boston. He is a true businessman.
