Why Work With Us?

Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:

We had an excellent experience with Steve and his team when selling our Arlington condo. We had previously reached out, and we were given an in-person comprehensive assessment of the value of our property, and even given a recommendation to consider keeping it as an investment property, which we were especially impressed with since that recommendation did not directly benefit their team. When we decided a year later to go forward with selling it, we knew who we’d trust with the job. They have a lot of experience, know the local market well, and gave us sound and honest advice. Their services included staging of the condo, and they handled everything professionally and reliably, and made things so easy for us, especially as we were navigating selling from out of state. No regrets; would use them again if I could!

We recently sold our family home in Arlington after being in that home for 31 years. We raised our 3 children there and were quite nervous about making the move and selling our home that was full of memories and family history.

Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team guided us through the process of selling our home and made it much less stressful and more comfortable than we expected.

When we decided to put the house on the market, we met with Steve at our home, where they evaluated our property, discussed options for our sale, and made recommendations to maximize our full potential for our sale price.

Once we committed to selling the property with Steve and his team, they came in, prepared the property for showings, took pictures of the property, and then listed it on the MLS website.

We had very active showings and open houses, and everything was handled by the Home Advantage Team. When it was time to accept offers, Steve explained all offers, potential buyers, and the remainder of the process. We ended up with an offer over asking price and a timeline that worked to our advantage. Steve and his team took the nervousness and concern of selling our house out of our hands and made the process seamless.

I would highly recommend Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team at Gibson Sotheby's to anyone selling their property.

We worked with Steve McKenna, Annie Kelly and their team at Gibson Sotheby's for the sale of our home in Arlington and the purchase of a new home in Hudson. We could not have been happier with how both went. They took the time to explain the process, which changed since we purchased our home, talked about how they would advise us each step of the way, reviewed the pros/cons of different timelines, etc. It was all very reassuring. Then came the open house - the staging was phenomenal, the brochure looked great and most importantly attendance was high. When it came time to make an offer on new homes, their advice and guidance helped us make competitive offers. We'd highly recommend working with Steve, Annie and the team at Gibson's.

I don’t think there’s any broker in Arlington who knows the housing market better than Steve McKenna and his team. Because of his broad experience and team of experts, he designed a marketing plan to sell our house tailored to the correct audience. Because of this, we sold our house at the first group of showings.

We bought our house in Arlington from Steve 35 years ago, and he was the one we called when it was time to sell. He is helpful, nice to work with, and available at every turn in the process. You can’t go wrong with Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team.

Steve McKenna and Kristen McKenna were great, as was the rest of their team. Very professional and easy to work with. Perhaps most important to me as a seller is that they really understood the market. My condo had multiple offers and sold within a week—for a lot more than I expected. I was really glad I hired them and didn't try to sell it myself as I had considered.

- Chris, Seller, Arlington  -  June, 2026

Working with this team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were incredibly easy to work with, always professional and kept us informed every step of the way with clear and timely communication. Their marketing plan was top-notch and truly set our property apart. We could not have asked for a better group to guide us through the process. Many thanks to the entire group but we wanted to give a special thank you to Steve and Tracy. We highly recommend!!

Engaging Steve McKenna and his Home Advantage team was the best and easiest part of selling my Reading home. Other reviews will testify to the organization's efficiency and stellar communication, and I concur.
What I'll add is this: From our first meeting, I felt Steve, Annie, Maya, and the rest of the team understood my home. They noticed how we lived in it and what we loved about it. They noticed what made it beautiful and special, down to the tiniest detail. This attention to the home's best qualities truly informed how they marketed and sold it. They made sure it was ready—spiffed up and sparkling—not just staged. Ready for someone to see how they could live there, how they could build their lives there. Ready for someone to fall in love with it. I'm happy to say that's exactly what happened.
Leaving a long-time family home may be the right choice, but it isn't easy. Knowing that the home will be loved by its new owners means so much, and I couldn't be more pleased. I have Steve and his team to thank for that.

Steve McKenna (and team) was wonderful to work with while selling our home in Arlington. What stood out most was how efficient and honest he was — no fluff, no pressure, just clear guidance and steady execution. He respected our time, kept us well-informed, and made the whole process feel manageable and straightforward. We’re very grateful for his support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thank you, Steve!

- Monica O., Seller, Arlington

Mike's attention to detail and market knowledge made selling our home seamless. He guided us every step of the way and always made us feel supported. We could not have asked for a better realtor! We would highly recommend Mike Pallotta for your real estate needs.

- Debbie & Tom, Arlington, Sellers - October 2025 

We relocated from California over the summer, and Mike came highly recommended by a colleague to assist us in finding our new home. Thanks to his support, we were able to plan and narrow down potential properties while still on the West Coast, making our visit to the area efficient and productive. Mike took the time to understand our family’s needs and guided us through every step of the process. His expertise was invaluable in helping us find and close on our home within a tight timeframe. We couldn’t recommend Mike and his team more highly.
