Testimonials

“We always knew that we would use Anne Spry as our broker. Growing up in Winchester I've known her name for a long time and knew that she has a great reputation. Friends of mine and even my parents have used her to buy and sell property and I've only ever heard great things about working with her.

Anne was extremely helpful and knowledgeable during the entirety of our search and purchase. She knew all of the right questions to ask during the showing and inspection, and her strategy when it came to making the offer is what ultimately gave us a fighting chance at getting the house we wanted. Anne kept in constant contact with us during every step of the process and was always available by phone or email when we had a question. She explained exactly what we should expect so we felt confident and there were no surprises.

Between Anne and Drew our home purchase process was extremely easy and nothing fell through the cracks. We are very happy and thankful that they worked so hard for us so that we were able to get the house we wanted. We will 100% recommend Anne to people we know buying or selling a house.”
– Robert & Emily D., Concord

“Anne is very experienced in sales in this area, and things that seem very complex are quite straightforward to her. She was also great at getting references for tradespeople to clear out furniture, etc - this was invaluable. We really enjoyed working with her and Drew Cellini, who worked with her, was also terrific.

The purchase was reasonably straightforward, but Anne was very helpful in negotiating a number of things with the seller. She has a very deep knowledge of real estate in general and sales in this area in particular,which were very invaluable. I would strongly recommend her.”
– Margaret C., Winchester

Anne Spry was very prompt with her communications back to me even when she was boarding a flight for her son's wedding. She puts her customers first, and I felt as if we were in good hands even when dealing with unexpected obstacles of which she handled well. Thanks for helping us sell my mother's condo so that she could live closer to her family in her golden years.”
– Janet C., Woburn

“We enjoyed working with Anne very much. Though the process was stressful at times; she worked incredibly hard helping us get the house on the market, attending multiple Open Houses, sharing feedback through the ShowingTime app, and negotiating with all the different stakeholders involved in the process. She was also experienced at working with the buyers’ broker and other contacts to finalize all the stages from the offer, to the P&S and final closing.

We would highly recommend Anne Spry to family and friends. Anne was experienced and skillful at helping us overcome obstacles that we faced throughout the sales process and we were very grateful to have her as our advocate, providing guidance, expertise, and persistence along the way.”

“Anne was incredibly helpful, encouraging, and flexible throughout our home search, despite the fact that it took longer, and spanned more miles than we anticipated! She was the perfect broker for a first-time home buyer, and her expertise provided us with the patience and knowledge of the market required to find our perfect home, particularly in the current environment. I cannot imagine the process without her, and I don't think we would have felt as successful as we do. Thank you, Anne!”

“My husband and I have known Anne for over 30 years. She is a knowledgeable and energetic realtor. Selling our family home was a necessary life-changing experience. Anne was there for us at every turn. She always answered our phone calls in a timely manner. Anne was very sympathetic to our needs.

Anne lovingly showed our home to prospective buyers. Anne was thorough in her research of property details and was able to answer any questions the prospective buyers had about the property. Anne is the most wonderful agent. Selling your home is not only a financial decision but an emotional one too. Anne answers all questions with patience and grace.

Drew was an asset to the team. If Anne was unavailable, Drew was only a phone call away to respond to our questions.

Anne is not only a successful realtor but a wonderful neighbor too. She is a wonderful resource for references for home repair.”
- John & Anita G., Winchester

“Anne was fantastic, and we would recommend her to friends looking in the area.

- Marge & Don G., Newton

“It is well known, selling a home can be quite a stressful undertaking. The moment Anne Spry stepped in my home she was enthusiastic and reassuring as well understanding the emotions and stress involved. Every homeowner is different, and she respected my unique concerns and wishes, gently encouraging me to move forward at different stages even though it was a challenging situation or decision for me at that time. Her enthusiasm, her knowledge of market and knowing we should move quicker to get the house sold and her confidence about doing so helped moved me along.

She guided me through the appropriate review of lead paint, and recommended evaluation since it had been documented it was unknown in past. She did not want it to tie up sale and although I ended up having to pay for inspection, I appreciated that she did her due diligence to make things go smoothly for me in the long run.

Anne kept me updated along the way and with her colleague Drew as a team they were easy to reach, whether by phone, email, and text they were able to answer questions and help respectfully guide me. Anne remained relaxed, enthusiastic, and supportive through every moment and even after the closing.

I would recommend Anne Spry to anyone ready to make the big decision for a home sale.”
- Kathy M., Winchester

- Jessie C., Belmont

“Anne Spry and her marvelous team helped us navigate an incredibly difficult housing market. Anne spent a great deal of time getting to know us. It was reassuring to find that her questions and insight would consistently further our understanding of our own preferences and priorities. Prospective buyers need to move fast, and Anne was always available to visit new listings on very short notice. Her understanding of the many Greater Boston neighborhoods, and eye for value, helped us stay competitive, without losing sight of what was important to us. Trustworthy, responsive, savvy.”
– Jack & Caroline C., Charlestown

“Anne was amazing, and professional from start to finish. She had creative marketing strategies and boundless energy which really kept things active even though our unique historic two-family took a bit longer to sell. Would definitely recommend Anne to any Winchester sellers or buyers. A very positive experience.”
- Francine N., Winchester

“Anne is the most astute realtor I have ever worked with, and I trust her to help me ask important questions when viewing homes for sale. Anne helped me secure a home with multiple competing offers. She knew the market and understood what I would have to do if I wanted the house. Her guidance was essential, and she succeeded in negotiating a great deal. There’s no one else I would trust to help me buy a house, especially as a first-time buyer. Anne was patient in answering all of my questions and was timely in organizing showings as well. I’m so grateful for her help and expertise, and above all, we only put in an offer on one of the many properties we viewed, and we got it! That’s the work of an expert. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent when buying a home and I would certainly go to her again in the future.”
– Sophie E., Hamilton

“Anne has decades of experience in the Winchester market across large and small properties, and a proven record of effectively marketing homes. We have followed her impressive, consistent results showing the volume and pricing of homes she has sold. Her network of service providers made the process of preparing our home simple for us - she anticipated all the ways to prepare our house to look great for prospective buyers - far beyond just being a broker. We were delighted with our experience.”
– Dana & Steve H., Marblehead

“Anne Spry came highly recommended to us and now we know why! We were first time home buyers needing an expert to guide us through the process and couldn't be more grateful to have had Anne as our buyer's agent. She is savvy, highly experienced and a great advocate, but also took the time to listen and tailor the process to our needs. She made us feel that no question was too small. We couldn't have asked for a better purchasing experience and feel that we truly found our dream home. We will certainly use Anne for any future needs and would highly recommend her!”
– Andrew & Vivian S., Melrose

If we had any questions they were considerately answered and in a timely manner. We never had any issues in communication with Anne and her team and if something needed to be done, we could count on Anne and her team to complete it. Overall, I would recommend Barrett Sotheby's and Anne's team to anyone who is considering buying in the area.”
- Brooke & Justin M., Woburn

“I appreciated Anne Spry's attention to detail when reviewing the property. She was also very responsive with any questions or concerns I had. Her market knowledge is very good and I enjoyed working with her.”
- Kristen H., Winchester

“At my first visit with Anne Spry, I could tell she knew her craft. From convincing me and my sister to stage the house (I admit I was skeptical) to properly pricing the property, Anne has a total grasp of the marketplace. Whenever we had questions, Anne had the answers. The sale of the house for considerably more than the asking price could not have gone any smoother! In the future my next property will be sold by Anne and her staff!!!

Working with [Sotheby’s International Realty], Anne knew the market, guided us in staging the house and was on top of every detail. Our house sold for way over the asking price and this result was a direct result of Anne's hard work. My advice if you are selling your house contact Anne and you too will be pleasantly surprised!”
- Joe M., Winchester

“Anne Spry [worked] very hard in getting us ready for this big move was above what we expected and were very happy with the results. She made herself a phone call away and got us done on our time frame. She always explained all issues with the sale and made sure we understood everything. I would have no problems in working with Anne Spry again and would tell all family members about her.”
- Harold R., Burlington

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Anne on the sale of my home. She was professional, efficient, easy to work with, and reliable.”
- Karen C., Winchester

“We are grateful for all of Anne’s work on behalf of our transaction- everything was perfect!”
- Sarah E., Winchester

“Anne is one of the best realtors you'll ever meet -- she's an expert at every step of the buying and selling process, and she'll listen carefully to your needs to help you find what you really want. We've bought and sold a number of homes with her and we'd never go to anyone else!”
- Sasha L., Winchester

“Anne Spry was an excellent partner to our family as we navigated a move across country and into Massachusetts. She knows the greater Boston area well and was able to objectively advise on the local areas. Anne listened to us our needs and provided facts without location bias. Once we found our home, she worked quickly to get us the best price (through multiple rounds of negotiations and home inspection). Even after closed, she is still available to support us. Great buying experience!”
- Ken & Marissa S., Concord

“Anne is a great real estate agent. We have worked with her on four transactions in twelve years. She works hard and helped us get the best possible price for the house we just sold.”
- Dan L., Sudbury

“Anne and Drew were fantastic in helping my girlfriend and I purchase our first home. We had talked about becoming homeowners for a while but were pretty much clueless about the home buying process going into our search. Anne was friendly, professional, and responsive at all hours, day or night, which really helped ease us through what is ultimately a stressful and exciting time. Under her guidance we always felt comfortable, and that she was there for us when we had questions.

Our home buying search came during a time when the housing market was going totally crazy. Interest rates were hovering just below 3%, and as a result there was a huge surge in demand. Coupled with a real lack of inventory, and we were shocked to see houses routinely receiving as many as 26 offers and going anywhere from 50K-125k over asking on a regular basis. Anne was there with us through 7 rejected offers and she did a great job of explaining how to field a competitive offer without ever pressuring us into making an offer we were not comfortable with. We are extremely thankful that she was always understanding and supportive without putting pressure on us to buy something we would not be able to afford.

I also need to mention her tireless support on our behalf when we finally got an offer accepted, but ultimately walked away from the deal due to a dispute with the sellers. After months of following us around to open houses we finally managed to land a small home. However due to issues discovered during inspection and unwillingness on the part of the sellers to negotiate, we ultimately walked away from the deal. Anne worked hard to make the deal happen, battling with the sellers and encouraging us to stick to our guns and not give in to their demands to overlook the issues we uncovered. When we were ultimately unable to come to a satisfactory resolution, Anne wholeheartedly supported our decision, even though it was in her own self-interest to advocate for us to stay in the deal. Her willingness to not only support, but to actively help us back out of a deal that was not right for us speaks to how willing she is to put her clients interests ahead of her own. She was right back out with us the very next weekend looking at open houses and two weeks later she helped us land a home which we are ultimately much happier with.

Anne and Drew were wonderful to work with and we thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
Their positivity and responsiveness were second to none.”
- Jon & Stephanie M., Stoneham

"Anne was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, attention to detail, charismatic personality, kind nature, combined with knowledge made for a fantastic experience. She always encouraged my husband and I to make the best decision for ourselves. We would not have the house of our dreams without her hard work, knowledge, and support. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Anne!
- John & Melissa U., Dedham

“Anne guided us through the sales process seamlessly, from getting the house prepared presale, negotiations and closing. Anne’s knowledge of the market is impressive and her attention to detail impeccable. I’d recommend Anne to anyone looking for a total professional who goes above and beyond for her clients!

Anne really goes above and beyond for her sellers to help them through the whole sale from beginning to closing. She gives great advice and is very accessible and patient. We were very happy with the sales process of our home and would recommend Anne to anyone looking for an experienced and talented agent.”
- Penny L., Medford

"Despite the fact of it being a hot sellers’ market, the home we decided to sell was built a few years back and it was substantially overpriced compared to the surrounding neighborhood which was a quite a challenge, not to mention that it has a not so typical floor plan, construction material and finishing. Anne prepared a very profound market analysis and presentation of this home future emphasizing its forte. Beside these she carefully pre-qualified the potential buyers to minimize the flood of some random visitors. In result home was sold very quick, without a hassle!

Beside of being professional broker Anne expresses a very positive and optimistic personality which makes not just us as sellers feel comfortable, but also builds confidence in buyers’ expectations, assessments, and final decisions. The appraisal of the home came a bit short, and Anne still worked hard to negotiate not just with buyer’s agent but as well she compensated our proceed shortage by reducing her own agency commission, which was actually saved the deal."
- Nick A., Woburn

“Anne is the best broker out there. Period. We were buying our first Home and she helped us through every process and made us feel comfortable. She always made us feel like we were her only clients we weren’t). I would recommend Anne to anyone.”
-Nick & Lauren K., Winchester

“We had an amazing experience with Anne when we bought and sold our house with her as our Realtor. Anne’s commitment, market knowledge, and attention to detail were exceptional. Three weeks before we put our house on the market, we discussed with Anne what the next few weeks would look like, and Anne literally prophesied verbatim how things would go. She priced our home in the perfect way to generate interest, presented and analyzed the pros and cons of each offer we received, and guided us to ensure we selected the right offer. For our purchase, Anne once again drew on her vast experience to ensure our offer was on-point, negotiations were fair and reasonable, and we were satisfied with all aspects of the terms. We would highly recommend working with Anne and the rest of the team at Waterfield Sotheby’s. Anne provides first-class service that makes the home buying and selling process manageable, but still fun!”
-Jon H. & Lauren C., Winchester

“I recently worked with Anne to sell a house and buy a condo, both in Winchester. While coordinating such a process can be stressful, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Anne. Her knowledge, professionalism, and terrific instincts guided me through to excellent outcomes. She provided me with great options and feedback and managed the actual sale negotiations so well. Anne always kept my interests at heart and worked with her team to stay on top of every detail, which brought great peace of mind. I feel so fortunate to have partnered with Anne on my real estate journey.”
-Trish G., Malden

-Katherine & Paul C., Milton

“Anne Spry is a knowledgeable, trustworthy and all-around absolutely wonderful real estate professional to work with on the purchase of our first home. We had an absolute blast with her throughout the entire process. With several decades of experience in the Boston area, Anne knows the markets exceptionally well and was able to thoughtfully guide us to the right decision for our first home purchase. We are incredibly grateful for Anne's help and would recommend her to anyone seeking to buy a home in the area. Truly an absolute pleasure to work with.”
-Chris & Tessa D., Melrose

“Anne was a delight to work with. She met me spontaneously through the request of a friend and helped me bid on the house we saw that evening. Although that house fell through, we then embarked on a more traditional house hunt which resulted in a place I liked better, was less expensive, and ideally located. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”
-Holly F. & John T., Reading

“Anne’s expertise and experience were invaluable to getting my house sold quickly and easily. I’d recommend getting her involved early before it goes on the market so she can give you advice on what is worth fixing or updating to maximize your net profit.”
-Janet W., Winchester

“We had a wonderful experience both selling our old home and buying our new home. Anne’s insights and experience really made a difference. She guided us through the preparation of selling our home - which was extremely helpful. We sold in the first weekend. Anne was very patient and knowledgeable in helping us find our lovely new home. Could not give a higher recommendation!”
-Tom & Andrea B., Winchester

“Anne helped us both purchase our new home and sell our existing home. She provided very good advice regarding the Winchester market, and the best timing and techniques of selling our home in general. Her advice helped us be very successful for both selling and buying. She went above and beyond to help us purchase our forever home, which included a 2AM P&S signing, and extremely tight turnaround to close. I would highly recommend Anne to others! We wouldn't think of ever using anyone else!”
-Mike & Amy L., Winchester

“Anne did a great job marketing and selling our beloved home of 24 years. An antique house updated and full of charm but lacking some of the features of new construction, Anne knew that our home would not appeal to all buyers but would sing to the right buyers, she just had to find them. She was right! We were very, very happy with the process, the sale price, and steps toward closing. Most of all we were thrilled to know that our historic home was passing into the hands of a new family that would love and care for the property as we did. Anne's entire team were professional, responsive and unfailingly helpful and cheerful.”
-Bob & Carol C., Winchester

“We had an incredible buying opportunity and wanted to sell our home quickly. Anne and her team were absolutely fantastic in clearly setting expectations for the process, realistically guiding and assisting us in checking all the boxes to get the house ready to sell and expertly marketing and showing the house and closing the deal. We were so impressed with her professional but incredibly friendly demeanor, and we always felt like her most important client. Her team was full service - thinking about and helping with every detail, which was an invaluable stress reliever for a family that hadn't sold a home before. We can't recommend Anne enough!!!”
-Gregory B. & Cassy C., Winchester

-Saurabh S., Winchester

“My experience with Anne was very successful. I gave her a limited time frame to see my house and she moved quickly to get it photographed, create the marketing materials, and bring the house to market. After two open houses, she had multiple offers in hand and was instrumental in getting me the best possible outcome. I highly recommend her and her team for all the areas above.”
-Brenda R., Reading

“Anne is very professional and clearly knows how to handle high end properties. I have used her to sell one house, buy another and then sell that one. As my second house was a 2- family, she was able to provide me with quality tenants throughout my ownership. She is incredibly responsive and listens to what I want while also educating me about the market. In each transaction, there were a couple of tricky points and Anne was able to negotiate them to my satisfaction.”
-Christine S., Winchester

“I am writing this review about Anne Spry, who brokered the purchase of our condominium. She was wonderful - knowledgeable, efficient, patient, supportive, informative and very reasonable and practical. She knew all the issues we were dealing with after 35 years in our raised-our-kids house. Although there were some complications regarding the seller, Anne navigated for us smoothly and competently. She always returned phone calls and texts and was totally available whenever. And she has a terrific sense of humor and positivity which is such a rare pleasure these days. I would recommend her without reservation.”
-Joe & Phyllis M., Medford

We recommend her and Waterfield Sotheby's International Realty without reservation.”
