Client: Tamara A. 
"I was clueless going into the process of buying a home, but needed to move quickly. I worked with Rich Rosa as my buyer's agent. My husband and I knew nothing about buying a home going into this and Rich patiently explained things and gave advice and constantly answered questions. His advice was always dead-on. Rich exemplifies the definition of professionalism.  He was very communicative and was right on top of things throughout the entire process of buying our home. We ... closed ... about 45 days after we began our home search and Rich really made it happen. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home."

"Rich, As I am slowly converting this condo into a home, I'd like to take a step back and thank you for being my realtor, lawyer, and all-around homebuying guru. I really appreciate you sticking by me through flooding short sales and a disorganized closing attorney. Your professional and friendly demeanor really made my first time homebuying experience a pleasant (and fun) one! One aspect I'm particularly impressed by is how great of a team you and Dave are - never skipping a beat! I feel very fortunate to have found Buyers Brokers Only and wouldn't hesitate to recommend BBO to anyone. You really went above and beyond. "

We found links to Rich's name on several websites and found favorable reviews. After a brief meeting with Rich, we liked what Rich had to offer in his services and decided to work with Rich. Rich did a fantastic job from start to end. We are thoroughly satisfied with the service provided by Rich Rosa and would recommend his services to any new or existing home buyer."

Bought: Condominium in South Boston, MA

Client: Kate M. & Michael M. 
"Rich is extremely knowledgeable and guided us through several multiple bid situations and a very tight buyer's market in Burlington, MA.  In less than a month, he found us the perfect house and successfully navigated a multiple bid situation on the house we really wanted.  He was almost as good as the home inspector at pointing out things about the houses that we never would have noticed.  Every person he referred to us for the home inspection, attorney, etc. was professional and worked together to ensure that we had a smooth transaction.  We closed a week early with no last-minute issues and are loving our new home. I can't recommend Rich highly enough."

Bought: Condominium in Winchester, MA (Banked-Owned Property) 

Client: Alison & Keith P. 
"Rich was recommended to us by friends when we were starting to look for a house (and had no clue how to do so). He tirelessly, for 8+ months, drove hundreds of miles to look at every kind of house imaginable with us. He made house and town recommendations based upon our criteria and helped us make good decisions about those we did look at. He was invaluable when it came time to enter negotiations, and he always did a great job at communicating on our behalf to the sellers. Plus, his expertise kept us from becoming involved in some potentially very messy deals. With his help, we found and purchased our first home. Rich made the home buying process (and our lives) so much easier than had we chosen to undertake it ourselves!" 
Bought: Single-family Home in Carlisle, MA 

Client: Frank P. 
"Rich, I can't thank you enough for all the work and guidance you provided during my search and purchase of my new home. Your expertise in the home-buying process coupled with you being an attorney proved to be an invaluable combination, which gave me a comfortable feeling that you were working for me, and only me, as a buyer. Your price was only the commission split on the sale, which was paid by the seller, not me. I will surely recommend you to family and friends. My advice to anyone buying a home is to forget [other] real estate agents, use the buyer brokers/attorneys at Buyers Brokers Only, LLC. I hope we can do business again in the future."
