"Both as a buyer and a seller, I have experienced that I am in the best of hands with Gretchen. Due to family moves for my husband's career I have bought and sold homes in 4 states over the past 35 years. I can confidently say that Gretchen is the best agent I have ever worked with. Gretchen made it her business to understand exactly my needs and interests in a potential property and proposed appropriate new listings as soon as they came out. She was meticulous in determining the specifics of the value of a proposed purchase. Her advice is carefully researched and sound. Recently she guided me through a possible contract that became unsatisfactory after inspection. Gretchen looked closely at the deal with my interests in mind, determining it was inadvisable. Later we succeeded in finding a much better place for my needs which I purchased. I am still very pleased with it. I am thankful to have found Gretchen and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is eminently professional, personable, hard-working, and thoroughly expert in the Cape Ann real estate market."

"In my long life, I have met and worked with a number of real estate agents, and I have never worked with anyone on a real estate transaction who is as thorough, knowledgeable, and articulate as Gretchen.

"In my long life, I have met and worked with a number of real estate agents, and I have never worked with anyone on a real estate transaction who is as thorough, knowledgeable, and articulate as Gretchen. We met her when we were first looking for a home in the Cape Ann area and she was representing a home that we were interested in. She was so remarkably and thoroughly versed in all aspects of the house that it was as if she had studied the home for decades. Her presentation made such a profound impact on us that even though we did not buy the house when we moved to the area two years later, we remembered how exceptionally effective she was and called her when we entered the market for a new home. Not only did we find the house of our dreams, but a fairly complicated deal became far simpler and relatively trouble-free because of her. She is, quite simply, an extraordinary practitioner of her profession, and I recommend her strongly and without the slightest reservation."

"My husband and I were so fortunate to have stumbled on a house in Rockport that we thought was a find. Coming from Lexington we knew almost no one in the area. Luckily a contractor from both towns introduced us to Gretchen Parker. As fortunate as we were to find this house our luck continued in finding Gretchen. Gretchen was so outstanding in ev..."

"My husband and I were so fortunate to have stumbled on a house in Rockport that we thought was a find. Coming from Lexington we knew almost no one in the area. Luckily a contractor from both towns introduced us to Gretchen Parker. As fortunate as we were to find this house our luck continued in finding Gretchen. Gretchen was so outstanding in every aspect of this home purchase that we asked her to sell our home in Lexington as well. Everyone knows using a local broker to sell property is the number #1 rule. Yet Gretchen stepped in and our Lexington property sold the day the bids were open, over the asking price. From our first conversation, I could tell that she was someone we wanted to work with. She was professional, yet understanding. Her guidance was thorough and perfect but her greatest quality was that she knows the limits. Gretchen knows how to determine the value of properties thereby saving her clients from spending unnecessarily. She is our realtor for life. We could not recommend her more highly."
