"We chose Ben Guglielmi to help us sell our house in Providence. He gave us great advice on how to fix up our home so that it was in very desirable shape when we put it on the market. The house was staged beautifully and the photographer took wonderful pictures. Ultimately, we had numerous showings and were able to find a buyer within a short period of time. Ben made the process of selling our home from out-of-state very easy, and we recommend him highly." - Eli B.

"Robin Lake at The Blackstone Team was so incredibly helpful during this process. I never realized everything that needs to get done during one of these transactions, and Robin jumped in a did so much to take these things off my plate. She was very organized and gave me a list of what needed to be done. And then she did more than half the list for me! When I forgot a few things, she jumped in to save the day more than once. She reminded me of tasks as they approached. She guided me right through the closing, starting with a comprehensive checklist weeks before. She is amazing!" - Dean W.

"We couldn't have hoped for a better agent when we set out to buy our first home! Katie is very honest, friendly, communicative and was incredibly patient with us as we worked through the complicated process. She's well acquainted with the market and knows the area through and through. We felt that she was consistently on our side and that she did a fantastic job in advocating for us and guiding us with our purchasing contingencies. Since we were buying from out of state, she even went to some showings on our behalf and gave us a tour via FaceTime. We also found every contractor she recommended to be trustworthy and highly skilled. We highly recommend working with Katie." - Gus R.

"Ben Kean is an absolute master at what he does. He comes to the table with a deep knowledge of Providence and the surrounding areas as well as a mastery over the process. He was able to find us several listings and make recommendations based on our interests and must haves. The closing process was made that much smoother by Ben's ability to stay on top of all parties involved and make sure that things were moved along in a timely fashion.
