What Our Clients Say

We worked with Alissa and Kim as first-time home buyers and they were absolutely fantastic. A few things stand out most of all: 1) their incredible responsiveness and availability, able to meet us at a house or have a call practically any time on very little notice, and responding to all communication almost instantly; 2) their positive, get-it-done attitudes — which was essential in a really challenging market and gave us hope that it actually was possible to find a home we loved; 3) their skillfulness in working with other agents — this was something we didn't understand the importance of until we saw it in action as we put in an offer, but it was incredible to see how personable, knowledgeable, and tactful they were in communicating and negotiating with other agents; 4) their knowledge of the world of real estate and local towns and communities helped us navigate terrain that was largely unfamiliar throughout the process. We truly appreciated all of Alissa and Kim's efforts to help us successfully find—and have an offer accepted on—a home that we love. We would highly recommend working with them.

Four days. That's the amount of time it took from beginning my search to having an accepted offer on a condo that I love. The overwhelming credit for that turn-around goes to Alissa and Kim. Alissa and Kim were responsive on adjusting my MLS query early on in the process, quickly responding to my emails, and scheduling a call to make sure that we were on the same page. When, combing through the listings, however, I found the condo that I thought was a perfect match, I had a problem. I had missed an open house that day, and as we'd find out, there was already an offer on the table. Alissa and Kim got me tours of that condo and a few other candidates, for the next day. Alissa went with me and was incredibly accommodating of the post-surgery physical limitations I had at the time. In touring the condo, I was blown away. It was everything I wanted. Alissa chatted with the listing agent, finding out what she could about the existing offer. After the tour, I told Alissa, "let's do it." The rest of the evening, Kim worked with me on putting together a competitive offer. We had it submitted that night. The next morning, I got a call from Kim, telling me the offer was accepted. Throughout the rest of the process, Alissa and Kim were responsive, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make sure that as a first-time buyer, I understood the process. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you get the chance to work with them, then you're in great hands.

Kim and Alissa were really wonderful not only during the home search process, but during the difficult time when there was a delayed closing on account of construction delays. They were incredibly responsive and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone looking in the Boston area!

We purchased a home in Belmont with the help of Alissa and Kim. They were wonderful to work with -- patient, knowledgeable, and went the extra mile to help us house hunt and consider different properties' strengths and weaknesses. After lots of looking, we eventually found our dream home, and we managed to purchase it under asking price. We are thrilled with the outcome and so grateful for Alissa and Kim for guiding us through.

Buyer

We worked with Alyssa and Kim to sell our condo in Belmont. This amazing team was so knowledgeable, professional and all-around helpful that they made the selling process care-free. We were initially back-and-forth with doing a FSBO-situation, but I would recommend to anyone to use a realtor, more specifically, Alyssa and Kim. Their knowledge of the area and the market was unprecedented. In summary, they made our preparation of the sale and overall home sale a seemingly flawless process.”

Alissa and Kim were so great to work with and helped my husband and I buy our very first home. From the beginning, they were both very kind, responsive, and super knowledgeable about the housing market. Throughout every step of the way, Alissa and Kim helped answer all of our questions, provided guidance throughout every step of the process, and were just super nice and a pleasure to work with. We could not recommend A+K Simply Homes more!

1st Time Buyer

I’m a first time home buyer but knew exactly what I wanted and that this is an aggressive market. Kim and Alyssa made the entire experience dream like. I can’t even say they were responsive bc they’re wayyy ahead of that! If I had a thought, concern, or question before I could ask they were already in touch and on top of it. Their insight was never short of honest, timely, wise, and always delivered with the utmost grace and professionalism. Plus, they’re fun! Not something you’d think of first when buying a home but it can be a lot and the appropriate levity makes the experience so positive. That combined with unparalleled expertise makes it feel like you’re buying a dream home with your sisters or best friends who know their real estate well! This market doesn’t stand a chance against this dynamic duo. If you’re on the fence about buying seek their services!

Seller

Alissa and Kim were so much more than just real estate agents helping us to sell and buy a home. They were councilors, teammates, advisors and friends. We loved working with them! They were patient while we pivoted from the suburbs to back to our own neighborhood. From new construction to our new old house, Kim and Alissa were by our side through it all. We couldn't have been more happy to work with a team that has the backing like they do. We'd certainly use them on our next home purchase and sale!

Buyer & Seller

Last year, Alissa Spencer of A K Simply Homes (Center Square Realty at the time) sold my family's home. It was an estate sale, which can be very emotional events. She and her firm delivered exactly what they promised. She is an experienced estate sale real estate broker. She made it a painless and smooth transaction and delivered a buyer that paid a very fair price without conditions. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

Seller

I would highly recommend working with A+K Simply Homes after a wonderful experience with them. Kim and Alissa made the process easy from start to finish, which was so nice for first time home buyers! My wife and I started off feeling intimidated and stressed by the competitive market, but sitting down for coffee with Kim and Alissa put us at ease right away. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and great listeners, we could tell they were genuinely invested in getting us what we wanted, which felt great. Once we earnestly started looking, they were responsive to all of our questions and it really felt like talking to two old friends that just happened to be our agents. The only downside is you'll miss talking to them as often as you did once they find you your house!

First Time Buyer

We gave Alissa a tall order during a strange time (pandemic) and in a competitive area where inventory was limited. Alissa stuck with us through it all! She provided sound advice and understood what our wants and needs were. She had our best interests at heart always and reasoned with us with a level head. She was available at the drop of a dime and always willing to talk. On top of that, Alissa is just an exceptionally nice person and enjoyable to be around. We ended up finding the one and we hope to cheers champagne with her there soon!

Buyer

Alissa was highly communicative and always went the extra mile to close the loop. She "had a guy" for everything and managed the logistics, which was incredibly helpful for all of the last-minute action items that materialized throughout closing. We were her first VA loan; she went out of her way to work closely with our lender to navigate the nuances and keep our expedited closing on track.

 
 
 
 
 

M.K.

Buyer

I absolutely loved working with Alissa. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous to start the process and intimidated by the competitive market in the greater Boston area. Alissa made the whole process - from starting the search to closing on a condo - comfortable and exciting instead of intimidating and scary. She had so much knowledge relevant for young couples and first time home buyers. I started this process without much knowledge about the home buying process and now my partner and I are fully moved in to a gorgeous condo I was able to buy for just under listing price.

First Time Buyer

Working with Alissa and Kim was a fantastic experience! We worked together buying an investment property and they walked with us closely through every step of the transaction. This purchase was not without challenges and Alissa and Kim patiently helped us navigate some of the hurdles in getting to the closing table. Couldn't be happier with the customer service we received and overall experience in working with Alissa and Kim. Happy to recommend A K Simply Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate!

Buyer

I can without a doubt highly recommend Kim and Alissa as realtors. I have never worked with two people who are as dedicated to their client, work tirelessly at helping you find the home you want and are available at all times with a friendly, supportive, cheery attitude always. Even when a home I had my heart set on fell through and I was devastated, they were by my side to support me and assure me we would find the perfect home and they were right! The home buying process is stressful and there wasn’t a moment from the first time I spoke with them both that I didn’t feel they had my back and my best interest at heart until the time I finally purchased my home. Anyone would be lucky to work with such caring, talented, patient, supportive realtors and people. Well done ladies and thank you endlessly for all your help and care going forward with my purchase!

Buyer

We LOVED working with Alyssa. Completely navigated is through the process, answered questions- no matter how silly - at all hours and was quick to follow up on outstanding items with everyone included in the process! If we ever find ourselves in need of another purchase, or sale, Alyssa will be our first call!

Buyer

Alissa was excellent to work with! She was very responsive with all of my questions and checked in with me throughout the process. This was my first time buying and she made everything a lot easier than I had thought it was going to be and was able to connect me with the right people at every step. I highly recommend working with her!
