"Cecilia was our real estate agent and helped us find our forever home. Cecilia was extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire home buying process. My wife and I found a home we really liked, and Cecilia was able to research the market and recommend an offer price that was reasonable to both us and the sellers of the home. Cecilia instructed us through the entire process and gave us recommendations for an attorney whom we loved. I also appreciate how Cecilia gave clear explanations of what to expect and how to navigate each step of the process from the initial offer all the way through to closing day. Cecilia fought for us and we appreciate everything she has done to get us our new home."

To Whom it may concern.
REF: TESTIMONIAL FOR MRS. CECILIA HENSEL.
Myself and my wife Gorret Nambooze would proudly wish to provide a Testimonial for Mrs. Cecilia Hensel.
Being recent immigrants to USA, we were looking for an average sized family home to buy. This was way back in 2013 We identified the suitable property to acquire in Milford Ma 01757, lo and behold, by some kind of miracle, Mrs. Hensel happened to be our Realtor. Being first time home buyers, Mrs. Hensel explicitly and thoroughly explained to us the whole nitty gritty of the home buying process. She connected us to Mr. Evans Spencer, a Home loans specialist who got us the best Financing that we were eligible for. She assisted us through the inspection process to ensure that all prerequisites that were required were fulfilled by the seller and within just a few months, were proud home Owners, all thanks to Mrs. Hensel.
Six years later, early 2019 and with a couple of additions to our family members, it was time for us to upgrade to a bigger and more suitable home. Guess who we contacted first....Mrs. Hensel. We arranged a meeting where we discussed our needs with our Realtor friend, this time as Sellers and not buyers.
Mrs. Hensel run us through the entire process of home selling, made a couple of recommendations to have the home ready for sell and based on her expertise plus homework, Mrs. Hensel proposed a reasonable asking price which was much higher than what we anticipated to sell for. Just a few days later, lo and behold (again) we had an Offer, and the prospective buyers were offering the asking price. We quickly found an apartment to live as we search for our next home, and guess who we are gonna contact again ....................Mrs. Hensel.
It may seem like a long testimonial, but we just wanted to drive the point home. Mrs. Hensel is a hardworking, Committed, devoted and results driven Realtor who will go the extra mile to ensure that her clients get the very best Pinnacle service. I would certainly, without any hesitation recommend all friends, family and workmates with Home loan needs to Mrs. Hensel. We are so grateful and thankful for all her services.
To us, Mrs. Hensel is more than just a Realtor, she is a treasured friend.

"On the recommendation of my daughter, I recently chose Cecilia to sell my house. She did a beautiful job of keeping me informed on the process at each stage of the process, as it was my first experience selling a home.
Cecilia is able to gracefully blend her professional skills with an experienced and intuitive sense of how to communicate with a wide variety of personalities.
Many thanks, Cecilia!

"I have had the good fortune to work with Cecilia Hensel during my relocation from California to Babson. Cecilia is simply a pleasure to work with. She helped my family find a rental in a desirable area of Needham, five minutes from Babson, and is assisting our house hunt now. Cecilia specializes in the local area around Babson, but knows other areas as well. She is exceptionally responsive, hardworking, and personable. I really feel like she has our best interest at heart and would do anything to help us. Plus, she is a Babson MBA alum and a font of information about the school. I would give Cecilia my highest recommendation for anyone relocating to Babson"

Cecilia Hensel is truly a pleasure to work with. I have had the opportunity to work with her as a buyer?s agent on several real estate transactions and she is always professional and responsive to the needs of her clients. Extremely proactive in her approach, she anticipates the needs and requirements of her clients in an ever changing real estate environment. Cecilia makes a personal connection with her clients, which allows her to better serve them. Many times when a property closes, the real estate agent brings a small gift for her clients in appreciation for their business. I was at a closing once where the buyers brought a gift to Cecilia in appreciation of her service!! Truly a delightful person to work with, I look forward to deals I have with Cecilia Hensel.

"We worked with Cecilia to buy our first home in Natick. Cecilia was clearly very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and attentive to our particular interests. Since this was our first home, we had a ton of questions. Cecilia walked us through each step and continues to be a valuable resource for general homeownership questions that continue to pop up months after our closing."
Katherine

We would not hesitate to work with Cecilia again and would definitely recommend her to any prospective buyer and or seller"

Dennis and Gorret
"Facing a move from Houston to the Boston area with a very pregnant (twins) wife, and four year old son was daunting. Finding and buying a quality house in a totally unfamiliar market demanded an extremely knowledgeable broker. Cecilia, having raised her family here and worked in this market for many years convinced us that she was the one to represent us. She had an uncanny ability to assess our tastes and then show us houses/towns that suited us and were excellent value. She is professional, no pressure, market savvy, and an absolute pleasure to be around. Her local knowledge impressed us as newcomers and has been reinforced now that we been here for years. We would be happy to speak to anyone seeking more details about working with Cecilia to buy or sell a house."
Will
"Cecilia Hensel is a hardworking and dedicated realtor. Not only is she a great realtor who really knows the ins and outs of the business, she's also a very caring and genuine woman who strives for perfection. She knows the needs of all her customers and helps them reach their goals.
Cecilia was our neighbor for almost eight years. Initially we were reluctant to use her, fearing our personal relationship would become an obstacle. But, Cecilia proved herself thorough and professional throughout the process of selling our home. Her professionalism, insight and positive attitude made an intimidating experience much more comfortable. We have absolute faith in Cecilia's abilities and recommend her to our friends and neighbors.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing this letter of recommendation for Cecilia Hensel based on the outstanding service that we received from Cecilia during our recent successful search for a home in Natick. We were fortunate enough to meet Cecilia at an open house and we were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the Natick area. We then spent some time with Cecilia and quickly felt very comfortable working with her.
This home search was extremely important to us as we were looking for this home to be the one that we lived in for the long run. We have two young children and wanted the perfect place to raise our family. For this reason, we were very selective in terms of the houses that we considered, and at the same time the selection in the area that we were interested in was fairly limited. Foolishly, we initially thought that the search would only take a few months. However, it ended up taking almost a full year.
During this entire time, Cecilia was extremely supportive, responsive, and helpful. She kept us informed of every potential opportunity that met our criteria. She was extremely creative in terms of the options that she presented to us. Cecilia is extremely well connected in the area and she always seemed to be a step ahead of what was going on in the local real estate market. We cannot stress enough how patient Cecilia was with us during the entire search. We can think of at least three houses that we looked at, had some interest in, went back and looked at again, strongly considered, discussed, etc, and then ultimately decided not to pursue. Cecilia was never pushy during these scenarios. She challenged us so that she could better understand our decision making process, which ultimately allowed her to have a better sense of what things were important to us.
When we did find the right home, it was an incredibly competitive situation. The house ended up having over ten offers within one day of the first showing! Cecilia led us through this extremely unique situation with guidance in terms of our offer strategy. She pointed out little things that we could do to differentiate our offer from others. She even helped us write a letter to the Sellers at 10pm on a Sunday night to help express our interest in the property! Cecilia was absolutely the difference maker that ultimately led to our offer being accepted. She has the relationships with other realtors in the market as well as their trust and respect. She also has the knowledge and experience to navigate through challenging and unique situations.
We cannot thank Cecilia enough for all the help that she provided to our family. She helped us find the home of our dreams and our family is already so happy with the house only weeks after moving in. We met with many realtors before this important search began. We decided to partner with Cecilia because of her knowledge, her experience, and her warm personality. Cecilia was extremely approachable, responsive, and accessible during our entire search period. In addition to all of her professional qualifications, Cecilia is just a great person to get to know and spend time with. She has a great sense of humor and always has a smile on her face. We are so thrilled that we made the decision to work with Cecilia and we?re even more thrilled to call her a friend of ours now. We look forward to seeing her around town!
We would be happy to speak with anyone who is interested in discussing our experience working with Cecilia.

Cecilia helped us with our relocation from San Jose, CA to the Boston area. Moving such a long distance has its own set of difficulties. You are not that familiar with the different towns and neighborhoods and there is only a limited amount of time to spend looking for a place to live. Cecilia did a great job of accommodating our busy schedules. Through emails and a few short visits, she was able to get to know us and help us refine our search. We ended up buying a condo in Arlington that is a perfect fit for what we wanted at our particular stage in life.
"
Ken and Claire
"Cecilia worked tirelessly to find the right house to fit my needs. As a single Dad, I needed a house large enough, but not too large and close to the kids. Cecilia reviewed the listings every day and kept me up to date on what was new and what price changes occurred to current listings. Big help to me as I have a very hectic work schedule.
When I did select a house, Cecilia was in my corner. She worked tirelessly (even on her vacation trip) to make sure I got the concessions from the seller she thought were fair. This transaction had come challenges and she stayed on top of all the parties to get this deal done. In a phrase ?she?s the best.? Thank you Cecilia.

"We recently sold our home in South Natick and I can't say enough about our Real Estate Agent, Cecilia Hensel. She was nothing short of a true professional. Cecilia went above and beyond and always kept in touch with us to let us know how everything was moving along. We would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone who would consider selling their home in the near future.
"
Lois and Ed
"We enjoyed working with Cecilia as we were in the market to purchase investment properties. Cecilia was very prompt and courteous in responding to our questions. She was very flexible and accommodating to set up appointments to view the properties. Cecilia really worked on our behalf when it came time to negotiate the sale of the properties. She guided us in the initial offers and helped us buy it at a price lower than we expected. We will definitely recommend Cecilia to any of our friends or family members.

Cecilia and I worked together on a condo transaction and her buyer was
moving cross country. Cecilia is extremely professional and a great
communicator. This made, what could have been a difficult relocation deal go
very smoothly. She really goes the extra mile for her clients. I would strongly
recommend her.
"
Jen, Realtor
"To Whom it May Concern,
I'm writing in recommendation of Cecilia Hensel, who went above and
beyond to skillfully navigate around precipitously falling comparative
sales prices and an extra-tough financing situation to find a buyer
for my condo in Dorchester.
I truly appreciate her dogged determination and hard work in making this happen."
Brian
"We just moved to the USA and Cecilia welcomed us in very open hands.
She was very patient with us. She helped very much to understand the real-estate situation in USA in her very nice way.
Although it was a hard job to find us an apartment that was suited to our needs, Cecilia never gave hope and worked very hard to reach our goal.
We would like to thank very much to Cecilia, for her admired service that she gave us. She really made our relocation much more easy and pleasant.
Tal and Yaniv
"Cecilia helped me navigate the convoluted process of buying my first home; with a different agent, I am not sure the process would have flowed as smoothly as it did. Her attention to detail and ceaseless efforts to find me the perfect home were commendable, as was her tenacity when dealing with the sellers agent."

Diand and Paul
"My home buying agenda was a tricky one - as a cash-strapped design/builder I was looking for an undervalued home that had been neglected, but also a house that had good bones and potential. Inevitably there was a significant issue with any house that met my criteria. Cecilia was invaluable in helping me navigate the process and she helped me to make wise decisions about pursuing a house or crossing it off my list. In the end I purchased a 1910 bungalow through a complicated short sale. It couldn't have happened without Cecilia's hard work and expertise."

Tal and Yaniv
Due to our impending divorce, my ex-husband and I had to sell our house on an expedited basis during a tough real estate market. We met with several realtors, and ended up choosing Cecilia due to her diligence and highly apparent excellent work ethic. We were very happy with our decision to do so. Cecilia is very efficient, enthusiastic, and hard working. She is very pro-active, brimming with creative ideas, and prompt at initiating and returning phone calls and emails. She went "beyond the call of duty" by offering to do things, such as staying at our house all day to oversee the installation of new carpeting and helping us to stage our house for sale by setting up flower arrangements and loaning furniture pieces to us. She ended up getting our house under contract for sale within one month during the slow summer real estate market. The sale of our house went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

"My wife and I purchased our first home with Cecilia. She really took the time to listen to us and understand what we were looking for. It was clear she did her homework as she only showed us houses that we would actually be interested in. We were able to find our first home after looking at only four houses. As first time home buyers, we were not familiar with the process and different steps that were involved. Cecilia made sure we understood each piece of the process and were 100% comfortable. We would highly recommend Cecilia." "My wife and I purchased our first home with Cecilia. She really took the time to listen to us and understand what we were looking for.

Brandt
"I hired Cecilia to sell my house in 2010 after considering several reputable real estate agents. I hired her mainly because of her enthusiasm and responsiveness to my questions and because I thought she would work tirelessly to sell my house at a reasonable price in the time frame that I specified. She also gave me a realistic appraisal of my house value instead of the typical merry-go-round estimate you get from some agents who later ask you to lower your asking price only months after it has been listed. In hindsight, I chose the right agent. Cecilia ended up getting my house under contract approximately a month after it was listed at a price within my expectations. I highly recommend her.
"
Matt
"When we moved from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts in 2008, the housing market was very slow. Cecilia took us to see every house that met our requirements, but none fit the bill perfectly. She patiently helped us continue our search, notifying us whenever a promising property was coming on the market. The day that we walked into our dream home, Cecilia gave us excellent feedback on the property and made sure that our offer was the first (and last!) on the table. We couldn't be happier with our house and our neighborhood."
Nicola and Bob
"
Cecilia is my mother and a great Realtor!! During my home search in 2008, she found me many great options. She was very thorough and got me the perfect place for well under budget!! She has subsequently advised me on a refinance and connected me to her great network of industry professionals. This lady busted her butt for me, got the sellers to the right price, and led me through this experience with professionalism and a warm smile. When I sell 9for a profit), I will look to her insight and professionalism again!!!
