Jeanette E. Cummings Testimonials

“As a first time home buyer, Jeanette’s vast experience in the market and exceptional professionalism were invaluable in finding the exact home I was looking for. Her approach to home buying is very well organized, and she was consistently available to answer questions and help guide the process throughout. Of equal importance was her network of trustworthy lenders and lawyers that made for a seamless buying process. Beyond all of these attributes, Jeanette is genuinely a nice person to work with. I can’t recommend her more highly.”

“When we decided to sell the home we raised our kids in, having lived there for more than twenty years, I knew it would be a bumpy emotional ride for all of us. I hoped the actual process of selling would be uncomplicated. Jeanette's quiet, steady guidance reduced the stress of the sale. When the inevitable issues arose, she provided clear options and answers. Her experience was evident in her calm approach. Her sense of the market is keen and she calibrated the asking price perfectly. She had helpful ideas about how to dispose of household items. And she got us to closing day with minimal drama. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Jeanette again.”

“Jeanette was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were first time home sellers with many questions and concerns about the process. Jeanette patiently guided us through the home selling experience and leveraged her experience with the current market conditions to explore all our options in terms of timing and pricing. Jeanette always made herself available offering resources and direction in a professional and organized manner to prepare the house for sale. The results exceeded our expectations - we received several offers and all were above list price. We highly recommend Jeanette to anyone looking to sell their home!”

“When my husband and I made the decision to sell the house we’ve called home for 20 years, we were referred by friends to Jeanette Cummings at JMR Real Estate Group.  We are so grateful for that referral as we cannot imagine a better experience than the one we’ve had with Jeanette.

Right from our first consultation, Jeanette has been knowledgeable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. She gave us excellent advice on how to give our house the most cost-effective “face-lift” so that it would show in the best possible light.  Always responsive, Jeanette returned calls and texts immediately and answered all my questions while also quelling my anxieties as we prepared for the sale/move.

Jeanette’s calm and easy demeanor made the entire process of working with her a truly enjoyable and collaborative experience.  Her professionalism in listing our home completely blew us away from the drone video to the professional staging and pictures, every detail was carefully executed.  The results speak for themselves – Jeanette garnered so much interest in the house that lines for the showings stretched down the block and we ended up with several offers well over the asking price. 

Jeanette is the best professional realtor we have ever worked with, and we highly recommend working with her if you want a professional, collaborative experience that yields great results.”

“My husband and I recently bought our first home all thanks to the support of Jeanette.  When we first started our search, my husband and I had limited background knowledge about the housing market and what features to look for in a home.  Jeanette’s guidance in the beginning helped us narrow down our search.  She took the time to listen to what we were looking for in a home and remained mindful of our needs throughout our search.  She also helped us navigate the challenging real estate market during the COVID pandemic.  Despite having to wear masks and social distance, she still made the experience feel very personal.  She waited outside with us in long lines during open houses.  As we toured houses, she was thorough and knowledgeable about the features of the homes we were looking at.  I felt confident and comforted that we had Jeanette by our side.  She was also very quick to respond to the many questions my husband and I had as first-time home owners.  I highly recommend Jeanette. She will be a strong advocate on your side throughout the entire process.”

“The task of securing office space was the number-one concern when I recently left my employer to start my own architectural practice. Although I’ve bought residential property in the past, I did not know the first thing about commercial leasing. What’s available, what are the numbers, what are the terms, will I need a lawyer . . . just too many questions. Jeanette’s calm approach and confidence helped me relax and take it one step at a time. She is a consummate professional with a no-nonsense approach, while also maintaining a warm and down-to-earth demeanor. I wish her services extended beyond real estate because I would hire her for anything she might offer to do. Thank you, Jeanette ! “

“My husband and I could not have been more thrilled with our experience working with Jeanette Cummings of JMR Real Estate Group. We were very fortunate to meet Jeanette through an open house we had stumbled upon and ended up working with her for two years to find our forever home. Our journey was filled with ups and downs and many offers (and even another baby).

The Boston housing market is not for the faint of heart, but every single aspect of working with Jeanette was a pleasure. Jeanette is exceptionally knowledgeable about real estate logistics, but we were also impressed by and grateful for her knowledge about homes and systems. She is patient, responsive, helpful and diligent – all wonderful and necessary qualities in someone helping you buy your home. But most importantly, Jeanette is truly nice. She treated everyone she engaged with on our behalf with kindness and respect which we really admired and appreciated.

We very much felt Jeanette always had our best interests in mind, and felt supported throughout the entire process, even after the buying. We have said multiple times to each other that the only downside to working with Jeanette is that eventually we won’t need her anymore. We would never think of using another realtor and could not more highly recommend her. Thank you Jeanette!”

“This letter is written with the highest recommendation for our buyer’s agent, Jeanette Cummings, of JMR Real Estate Group. At the beginning of what would end up being an 18 month search for a new home, our first step was to find an agent who we felt comfortable with. As luck would have it, we were referred to Jeanette, and knew immediately upon speaking to her that she was the right fit. Jeanette offered the perfect balance of patience and persistence, guiding us, but not pushing us in our search. We had multiple criteria that we were looking to fulfill, and Jeanette respected our needs and desires while at the same time offering different perspectives to consider. Her responsiveness by phone or email was always quick, and she always made time to accommodate our needs, whether it was a last-minute showing or putting in an offer quickly to be competitive in today’s market. Her level of experience was invaluable, as she always had knowledgeable advice and pointers that we would not have thought of on our own. Despite it taking over a year for us to find the right home, Jeanette remained a calm and gracious presence, never making us feel we were taking “too long.” Having just bought and sold a home, we are well aware of how stressful the whole process can be. Jeanette’s calm and level headed demeanor was a welcome respite from all that stress and was certainly a key part of our success. We are happy to give back and offer this testimonial for Jeanette, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in this challenging real estate climate.”

“Jeanette assisted me in selling my home in East Arlington after 25 years as a home owner. Not only was she extremely professional and knowledgeable she also did a masterful job staging the house so that it would be attractive to potential buyers. With Jeanette’s guidance and knowledge of the real estate market, my house sold after the first open house. Jeanette’s thoughtful, supportive and caring manner throughout the experience was very much appreciated by myself and my family. I highly recommend Jeanette if you are selling or buying a home. She is simply the best.”

“My family and I began to search for our first home during the fall of 2015. We stumbled across a condo for sale in our town and impulsively called the realtor for that property, which happened to be Jeanette Cummings. Jeanette not only responded immediately to our inquiry, she met us that afternoon and took us through the steps to begin our search as first-time home buyers. My husband and I felt instantly at ease and fully informed by Jeanette’s obvious experience and her patient approach to showing homes that were of interest to us. Jeanette also ensured that our 9 year old son had the opportunity to share his perspective on each property, which bolstered his confidence greatly. Throughout the journey of viewing homes and communities, researching public schools, redefining priorities, filling weekends with open houses, submitting offers and corresponding with Jeanette, we began to doubt the idea of buying a home. Friends and family reminded us to stay positive, which was not easy. In the attempt to lift our spirits, Jeanette stopped by our apartment one evening, following our 3rd offer, to gift us with a beautiful stone sculpture for our eventual new space. We were so grateful for her faith in us, as well as her consistency and thorough research on our behalf. With a renewed sense of optimism, we pressed forward and found our first home, with the endorsement of our son, just as Jeanette had intended. In hindsight, the whole process was perfectly aligned – we had put in our due diligence, Jeanette had stayed by our side and the end result was a happy home that we are all thrilled with! Jeanette’s level of expertise, calm demeanor, determined presence and high ethical standards propelled our search and quite literally made the purchase of our first home possible. Without her, we would still be searching. Our family highly recommends Jeanette Cummings as a realtor and experienced professional in the field of real estate (especially in this very competitive Boston market). Thank you, Jeanette! Our family is exceedingly grateful to you!”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeanette to find a new home. She listened to our needs and was thoughtful of our time as a busy family with young kids. She has a very knowledgeable and confident, candid approach. Jeanette’s excellent knowledge of the marketplace and home improvement/construction proved to be helpful in our negotiations and home inspection. If there was ever a question that she couldn’t answer, she was resourceful in finding an answer for us. We would highly recommend working with Jeanette and have recommended her more than once to friends and neighbors!”
