Testimonal

November 24, 2014

Feedback from satisfied clients is always something we strive for at Hawthorn. Whether it be from a buyer who used one of our agents, or a family whose forever home was just completed; a job well done is always our goal.  That said, we wanted to take the time to share some wonderful feedback we received about Lynda Hughes, a Hawthorn Properties agent.

Dear Hawthorn,

My wife (Melissa) and I recently closed on our dream home in Natick with the help of Lynda Hughes.  After having previously worked with a horrible agent at one of your competitors, our experience with Lynda was completely refreshing.  She genuinely cared about helping our family settle down (Melissa and I have 2 little boys and 3 pets).  Our previous agent was simply interested in “closing a deal.”  Lynda, on the other hand, stayed in touch with us constantly throughout the process, made herself available at all hours and was simply great to work with.  She helped us weigh all of our options, provided her own recommendations and advice when we needed it.

I would absolutely recommend any of our friends who are in the market for a new home to Hawthorn Properties, based on our wonderful experience with Lynda.  In our opinion, she is the type of person who differentiates one real estate company from the others. We’re glad we found Lynda! 

We greatly appreciate clients who take the time to let us know how we are doing.  To read other testimonials, please visit our website or our Houzz profile.
