We interviewed at least 5 brokers in trying to identify the best partner to work with us on the sale of my 98-year-old mother's home. We don't live on the Cape (or in Massachusetts for that matter) and knew we would be relying heavily on our realtor to guide us throughout the process. There was a +20% difference in recommended listing prices, so the stakes were high. Price it too ambitiously, and the property languishes. Too low, and we would not have done right by my mother. Serena was so strategic in her pricing and marketing strategies. We had offers from the first open house and accepted a full price, cash, quick close offer within a week of listing. The INSPIRE team was so on top of every aspect of the process that our closing was smooth and on time. I would recommend Serena and her team without reservation!
Couldn’t have received better attention or service than what Brenda Loan and the Inspire Team at KW provided us. We came in as clients and left as friends. Personal, attentive, responsive, and caring throughout. But also a very high level of professionalism. Tremendous all around.
Serena is LITERALLY THE BEST! Serena is everything you want in a realtor: honest, professional, communicative, understanding, caring, and fun!
Serena has a seasoned eye for how to prepare homes for sale, she priced them correctly, and facilitated all steps in the sales process to make it as smooth as possible for us. Did we mention offers received before a single open house?! Serena is resourceful and goes above and beyond for her clients! Highly recommend working with Serena, I know we will be working with her again soon.
Serena was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. Her advice and follow-through were invaluable for finding a buyer and completing the sale. She over-delivered on the sale price of my father's home. She had a vision for what could be achieved with just the right amount of improvements to get the maximum price for the property. Every recommendation was spot on. She also provided the professional resources to complete the work at a great value, helping to maximize the improvements that were made to the property. I interviewed 3 other top national real estate companies, and Serena had the best strategy. The proof is that she achieved a sale price that was $150,000-$200,000 above any of the recommended listing prices from the top real estate companies that I spoke with. She accomplished all this in just one week after the first open house. Selling a property to maximize its sale price on the Cape is tricky, so if you are looking for a realtor on the Cape, I would highly recommend Serena and her team. They did an incredible job. Thank you, Serena and team, it was a pleasure working with you!!!
She made everything so much easier, answering all my questions and keeping everything moving smoothly. What really stood out was how much she went above and beyond. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she always had my best interests in mind. If you need a realtor who is competent, reliable, and truly cares about her clients, SARA IS THE ONE.
Our experience with the exceptional Serena LoPiccolo-Smith and the Inspire Team was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial consultation to the triumphant closing, Serena navigated the complex intricacies of the market with grace and expertise. Serena’s and her team’s unwavering commitment to transparency, coupled with their profound knowledge of the local landscape, instilled in us a sense of confidence and trust that made the entire process seamless. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend the Inspire Team for all of your real estate needs.
From the moment we enlisted her help in finding our dream home on the Cape, she demonstrated unparalleled dedication and expertise in the field. Serena went above and beyond, tirelessly searching for multiple houses until she found the perfect fit for us. Her commitment to understanding our needs and preferences was evident in every step of the process. Whether it was scheduling viewings or providing insightful advice, she was always there for us, ensuring a smooth and efficient house-hunting journey. One of the most commendable aspects of working with Serena was her responsiveness. No matter the time or day, she was prompt in addressing our queries and concerns, making us feel supported and valued throughout the entire process. Her proactive communication ensured that we were always in the loop, which significantly reduced any stress associated with the home-buying process. Moreover, Serena showcased exceptional negotiation skills, advocating for our best interests and securing a favorable deal on our behalf. Overall, we would wholeheartedly recommend Serena to anyone in search of a reliable and dedicated real estate agent. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for her clients set her apart in the industry. We are immensely grateful for her assistance in finding our perfect home on the Cape, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
She is a highly experienced realtor and an expert on the local area/market trends. Serena is dedicated to ensuring her clients get the most out of their experience, and she is an absolute joy to work with. If you're looking to buy or sell, look no further. I'm so grateful I found the inspire team - thank you, Serena!
Serena not only immediately handled the opportunity, but she has also stayed in touch since making contact with the client and has started the process moving forward. It is my experience that Serena is among the highest tier agents in her personality, her delivery, her expertise, and willingness to achieve great outcomes for all involved in my more than 40 years in the real estate profession, as well as having invested many days myself at KW in my past. In the end, Serena is a 5-star agent in a 4-star world.
We have also bought and sold 7 houses. Serena and her "Inspire Team" gave us the best service, by far, that I have ever experienced. Serena is very detail oriented and has trained every team member to be the same. Wander takes the best "hi-def" photographs that I've ever seen. Brenda was so patient and attentive while helping us select our new place to, hopefully, spend the rest of our life. Serena and her Administrative Assistant, Paola, throughout the entire selling/buying process, helped us "dot every I and cross every T" at a level that no other real estate agent ever has. However, to me, the most important thing I can tell you is that Serena has the heart of angel and that her integrity is beyond reproach.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
She was extremely knowledgeable about the local market and what was needed to sell my father's home that was part of an estate sale. I can't say enough good things about Sebrena. She was a pleasure to work with and provided a level of expertise that assisted me to make some very difficult decisions about pricing and how much I should invest to maximize my sale potential without overspending. This was crucial to achieve a sale price that was $150,000 more than what 2 other top national real estate companies recommended. That's why I went with Serena. She had a vision and strategy that was unparalleled to what others offered. Thank you Serena!!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Serena LoPiccolo-Smith helped us navigate through the post pandemic housing market and purchase our dream home! Serena made sure to meet with us regularly and her attention to detail and knowledge of the market is unmatched. Serena was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, and understood our needs from the very first meeting. I would recommend Serena and the INSPIRE team to anyone! We can not thank you enough for your hard work and dedication!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Prior to starting this review my husband and I wondered "If Serena could have done one thing better what would it have been", and to our astonishment we came up with nothing. We were referred to Serena by a cousin that lives in Falmouth. We live off Cape and met with her at the Mid Cape house we were selling, and she suggested we make some improvements before she listed the house. She had already developed the profile of the ideal buyer and a marketing strategy. We never saw her again.The work began a few weeks later and shortly after we had our first offer- a neighbor who the contractors let in. It was low and we declined it. A couple of days later Serena received a sight unseen offer from an out of state buyer but it fell through because of Covid-19. The house wasn't even listed yet but she was working her magic. Before the week was out she had a 3rd offer that we eventually accepted. Before we accepted she had a 4th offer, in writing, in case the 3rd offer fell through. She always had a Plan B and sometimes a Plan C.Following their inspection, the buyers' agent presented a list of "issues of concern" with the house. What did Serena do? She sealed the deal with the house "as is" AND raised the price!I should mention that she found us a very local contractor (he lived 5 minutes from the house), who did an awesome job on all the work we needed done, at a fair price.Her knowledge of the area & the process were on point, and she was a true professional throughout. What more can we say- 47 days after we first spoke to her we accepted an offer that was $15k more than our asking price! We closed yesterday. So if you're buying or selling on Cape Cod make it easy on yourself and call Serena!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
She asked us what characteristics the home of our dreams would have. I told her I could never afford the home of my dream, she said 'Do not worry, tell me anyway!' Well the second home she told us to look at WAS the home of our dreams and at a price we could afford. She is MAGICAL! She made my dream come true, and in no time at all. No wasting time looking at homes that did not fit what I liked! I life in the most beautiful home ever, with all the characteristic I was hoping for...and MORE! During the entire process, which again went pretty fast and as smoothly as one would possibly imagine, she was always ready to answer questions, answering in an extremely knowledgeable way and doing the appropriate research when necessary. She was also the one that suggest the inspector and mortgage person, which I end up choosing because they gave me the best deal. Serena is a true STAR, I have been recommending her to all my friend and colleagues and I will never use a different real estate agent as long as Serena is available.Hire Serena and you will get the home of your dreams!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Not only does she have the experience to make your home owner dreams a reality, but she has the personal drive and commitment to help you with every step of the process, which makes what can be (although exciting) overwhelming, much easier and less stressful. A wealth of knowledge in the industry, which I appreciate as it’s important to be able to depend on your agent for all those nuances that are certainly not my level of expertise! I have had experiences with others over the years who left me feeling that they only had their best interests at heart—their commission. Brenda has a passion for finding out a little bit of who you are, what your needs are/what your wants are, and works with you in a way to ensure you get the best options for your family. Genuine and trustworthy, on top of super professional. If I ever have need again to purchase real estate, there’s no question on who I will be reaching out to.
She's very professional, kind, and courteous, and helped us through a process that we just didn't understand. She was there whenever we needed her and never hesitated to call back. We loved her and would recommend her anytime. Thank you!!
She really knows her stuff when it comes to real estate and is always straightforward and honest throughout the process. She works incredibly hard and genuinely cares about helping her clients make the right decisions. It’s clear she takes a lot of pride and what she does, and it shows. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and knowledgeable realtor.
She goes above and beyond in every aspect of the home-buying process. The support staff is easy to work with, and Sara’s local knowledge is unmatched. Her dedication to her clients is clear from start to finish. Sara is responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about helping you find the perfect home. Whether you're buying your first house or a vacation property, Sara and the team make the process easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!
