About Maija Sawyer

"Maija is the consummate professional, over-prepared and aware of all the business scenarios. Because she's a local businesswoman, she knows neighborhoods and values and the current demands better than anyone. She will outwork the competition and go above and beyond for marketing your property. I would only ever use someone who was local and a current parent of a child currently in the school systems - no one else has a better finger on the pulse of supply and demand. She's a pleasure to deal with and always handles herself with grace, passion, dedication to her clients, and works on behalf of her customers."
Shergul Arshad (Lexington)

"Maija was not only professional, and personable, from start to finish, she delivered with energy and empathy. She offered advice and preparation tips to help set us up for selling well before listing. From declutter to fresh paint, to finding us help with cleaning the roof. All to make the sale go seamlessly. She went above and beyond, making the process less stressful and organized. We will be using her again for the next adventure!"
Sophie Dixon (Lexington)

"Maija Sawyer is an exceptional real estate agent. She sold my house in Acton with little effort on my side. She made certain the house was empty and clean. She met with town officials concerning the septic system and more importantly sold the house above the asking price. I highly recommend her."
Joan Gardner (Acton)

"I am a first-time home buyer and Maija made this experience as painless as possible. I was actually originally working with another realtor, but when my needs changed and my search became more immediate my relocation company put me in contact with her. Within a week, we refined my wants and needs, saw at least 8-10 units, and landed on the great place I am now. She helped me with basically everything! If I ever buy again in the future I plan on working with her again."
Emma Levine (Arlington)

"Maija was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had worked with Maija previously when buying a home in Concord, so when we decided to look for a larger home, we immediately knew that we wanted to work with her again. Maija was a professional from the moment we reached out to her, through to when she last came to visit us in our new home several months later. We worked with her during the peak COVID housing market (a stressful time for home buying), but Maija's calm demeanor and rational approach to looking at homes kept us both grounded and calm through the process. We were able to secure our dream home within only a few months of looking thanks to Maija's shrewd understanding of the market and personable nature in working with sellers agents. On the sellers side, Maija made her case for pricing our home aggressively and it paid off for us. Additionally, she went above and beyond the call of duty by helping us source and install kitchen backsplash at the last minute and complete paint touch ups throughout the home to ensure it was in tip top shape for Open House weekend. We received 12 offers on the home & ultimately selected one well above list price. Maija is a realtor that you can place all of your trust in and she is going to work her hardest for you to ensure you are successful in any market. We couldn't recommend her more to other buyers and sellers."
Emily Herries (Concord and Acton)

"I worked with Maija Sawyer from William Raveis to sell my house from Aug-Oct 2021.
I strongly recommend her as your realtor whether you are buying or selling real estate!
As you know there are several skill sets that realtor must-have.
One of her talents is excellent time managing skills. Our house needed some work and she coordinated everything very well. Painting and maintenance were scheduled and completed within 2 weeks. Her sense of selecting items/color etc for the work was excellent. We were confident going into the weekend of open houses.
Second, it is her communication skills. She kindly explained everything in layman's terms. and I always knew what to expect next. Related to communication skill, she is very honest and understands social cues to keep the process less stressful.
If you are purchasing a home with Maija she will tell you straight. It may not always be what you want to hear when you are falling in love the house that actually has pitfalls but will save you money in the end.
Overall, she has great knowledge of the industry and familiarity with the Boston area. She will do her best for you in a timely manner with a great work ethic.
Thanks, Maija again for being our agent!

"Lisa and I wanted to thank you for putting us with Maija. She has been fantastic to work with! I have had many experiences with Realtors and Maija has been one of my best experiences. Firstly, she was super pleasant and cooperative, patient and persistent with us. Our move and situation was made complicated by 4000 miles but Maija was always available and responsive. She really knows Lexington and most importantly she gave us a 'heads up' on a property just coming to market that we would have missed had she not been plugged in. So thank you once again, Maija and your firm really helped ease the stress of moving."

"Maija Sawyer Puleo was my real estate agent when I listed and sold my house located at 16

King Street, Lexington, MA in late 2020. I firmly believe that without Maija, we would not have sold our home as quickly and for as much money as we did. She worked diligently and guided us through the process. She has extensive knowledge of the current market and was able to assist us in competitively pricing our home to attract multiple bidders and prompt excellent terms in their offers. She provided us guidance in preparing and marketing our home for the maximum return on our investment. She was able to maintain professionalism and gain our trust even during the difficult conversations that are necessary in the emotional journey of selling our beloved home. She was able to facilitate vendors to make the necessary updates and services to best present the property to the market. She is an exceptional real estate agent and I give her my highest recommendation as such."
Jennie and Jeremy P (Lexington)

"We first met Maija Sawyer in February 2020 when we began our house search. Maija was referred to us by my brother and sister-in-law, whom she had helped buy a house in Concord. Maija was a tremendous help during the whole house buying process. She was a great source of knowledge and extremely patient with us as we figured out what we were looking for in a neighborhood and house. She took us to see many houses in both Sharon and Acton, the two suburbs that we were interested in. With Maija's assistance, we ultimately put an offer, which the sellers accepted. We absolutely love our house and Maija made the entire house buying process clear and much less stressful than we thought it would be, especially as we were buying in this very difficult COVID time period."
Chris and Whitney C. (Acton)

"She marketed our home exceptionally well, and we were delighted to receive multiple offers very quickly. We ended up accepting an offer that was significantly above the asking price. Despite the pandemic, we were able to close without any major problems. We found Maija to be very accessible and responsive to our needs, and we would certainly hire her again in the future, as well as recommend her to friends and colleagues."
Ken S (Lexington)

"In October of 2020, Maija Sawyer listed our home at 9 Coach Rd. in Lexington. Our home was beautifully staged, priced well, and sold within 1 week with multiple offers.

Jane White (Lexington)

"Maija was very knowledgeable about the Arlington neighborhood. She is incredibly well networked and was able to schedule a pre inspection last minute to allow me to send in my offer before the open houses started which resulted in an accepted offer. She worked well with the listing agent too and was incredibly prompt in all her communications guiding me through the process. <br /> <br />I am so grateful for Maija! She was instrumental in ensuring my offer was the first one in which resulted in my daughter and I moving into our dream home before she starts kindergarten this fall. Maija is incredibly professional and communicates promptly and well guiding me through the entire process."
