Testimonials

“It quickly became clear that we were in good hands. Quinn came recommended to us through a mutual friend, and thank god that he did because the new-to-us home buying process turned out to be a fraught one. Quinn brought knowledge when we were ignorant, patience when we were hesitant, guidance when we were overwhelmed and guardianship when we were vulnerable. He took our quirks seriously and always brought a fresh and candid voice to bear on an inherently stressful process. He was always there when we needed him, present and available, knowledgeable and honest, and in the end he helped us to buy the house of our dreams. It was clear that our satisfaction meant his satisfaction. We have already recommended Quinn to friends of ours and would not hesitate to do so again. I would not want to go through the process with anybody else.”

“Quinn came recommended to us by a friend and it quickly became clear why. As first time homebuyers, we came into the process knowing almost nothing. This was all the more daunting in a difficult market as buyers. Quinn made the entire process from start to finish seamless. He was always quick to reply, answered our questions thoughtfully and was extremely attentive and respectful towards our needs. We felt confident with each offer and felt immense trust in the process with his guidance and expertise. Beyond this, he was easy to be around during the many weekends spent at open houses. We will absolutely be using him again should the opportunity arise. ”

“Quinn did a wonderful job helping us sell a problematical property, a co-op with litigation pending. There were also other delays and complications on our side, but somehow Quinn was able to guide us through the process, find buyers willing to take on the issues, and bring it all to a successful conclusion. Throughout, Quinn was professional, responsive, timely, informative, calm, and very nice to work with. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend Quinn Simpson. ”

“Quinn was a huge part of finding our home, which we absolutely love! Amazingly, Quinn was able to get us into the house, which met all our criteria, for multiple tours and then get us an accepted fair offer all before the home even hit the market. Throughout the process, Quinn continually demonstrated immense knowledge of the real estate market which always made us feel confident in our decisions. The best part was that he did it all with compassion and a sense of humor which was particularly helpful during the times when things (out of our control) did not go as planned. We highly recommend Quinn to anyone searching for their perfect home. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and good at his job! We will definitely use him again, if the time comes.”

“We have worked with Quinn for the last three years. He helped us to find a new place that fits our needs and was within our budget. He also helped us to find a fantastic place for my wife’s parents. From the beginning, Quinn was on top of everything, first helping us to think about our needs, preferences, and budget. We spent a lot of time in this phase trying to agree on the guardrails for the purchase. Quinn was extremely patient and also provided the right insight to narrow our search. Early on, he also helped us to determine how much money we could get for our current place and to determine what would it take to maximize the value for the sale. Once we begun the formal search process, Quinn got us access to many properties that could potentially fit our needs. He was not pushy but did get us to think about different alternatives. As we started to make offers, he provided great advise on how to structure the offers and things that would make our offer stand out versus the competition. When we were ready to get our house in the market, he helped us to find the right contractor for us and provided us with multiple alternatives. As we got into the closing process, he coordinated with the bank, other realtors, attorneys, etc. and stayed on top of things to ensure that things were moving along as planned. I would strongly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for their next home.”

“We were connected to Mr. Simpson through two different recommendations, both whom worked with Compass (and Mr. Simpson) in the past and were delighted by the professionalism, efforts, and quality of their work. My partner and I were new to the housing market, and Mr. Simpson met us where we were, without judgement and with patience. He offered quick communication, diligent follow-up, and appropriate guidance with space for our own autonomy. He was transparent about his limitations, i.e. he wasn’t the most familiar with the location we were searching, but made obvious efforts to familiarize himself with our options. On the personal side, Mr. Simpson is a delightful person and was genuinely excited and happy for us. Mr. Simpson was supportive from the beginning and I would strongly recommend him to first-time or repeat buyers.”

“I have worked with Quinn and Grant on three separate transactions to sell or buy my homes. They have consistently done a great job from start to finish. They are well informed, well prepared, smart, hardworking, honest and, most importantly, make me feel comfortable and confident with my decisions during the buying or selling process. On this particular transaction, Quinn and Grant worked hard to prepare my home for marketing and sale, seamlessly interacting with vendors and other professionals in their network to make the process smooth and efficient. They are great communicators and good people. They have my full confidence and trust and I will definitely be working with them again when the time arises.”

“I recently worked with Quinn to sell our condo in Cambridge. He is professional, kind, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Due to certain building factors, the condo sale required a particular kind of buyer and was not straightforward. We closed the sale approximately two months after listing, which was fantastic. He navigated the unique environment with ease, making the process as easy for us as possible. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Quinn and his brother Grant have been wonderful to work with! We initially met Grant a few years ago when we were looking to rent and he helped us to find the perfect place in South Boston. A few years later when we were ready to become first-time home owners, we didn’t have to think twice in calling Grant back. Despite the fact that we were in the mindset of buying a home, the pandemic and market dynamics made the process a long one! Grant has been very patient with us throughout the process and helped to sharpen our focus. Towards the final months of our search, he introduced us to his brother Quinn who took great care of us during the final months of the home search and buying process. We have been lucky to work with both Quinn and Grant throughout the course.

As first time buyers, it was important for us to understand the processes, work with someone knowledgeable while at the same time understood our specific needs. Quinn’s knowledge and expertise in the market is incredible, he would ask the right questions and truly look out for our best interests. In addition, Quinn has the right contacts to work with during the closing process, making it a very smooth process.

We highly recommend Quinn Simpson Group if you are looking for top service, great market knowledge and a personalized experience! .”

“Quinn was a trusted guide and partner throughout my entire purchase – from search to close. He is very knowledgeable about each step in the process and was always willing and able to answer my questions. Quinn never tried to “sell” me on anything, instead, he was transparent and objective with his advice. His guidance made me comfortable and confident with my decisions. I am very excited about my new home — Thank you, Quinn!”

“Quinn did an excellent job with the sale of my home from start to finish. It took very little effort on my part with Quinn taking care of getting the condo painted , staged and cleared for sale. Which was not an easy task during the pandemic. When I saw the photos of the listing I regretted having to sell! I was very impressed with his knowledge of the market, negotiation skills, communication ability and broad network of vendors throughout the preparation of the home and sale process. Quinn did an amazing job marketing the home resulting in multiple strong offers and a quick sale. He kept me well informed and provided great advice — It is clear that he knows what he is doing. I have a very high trust in him and would easily recommend him to anyone selling their home.”

“Quinn is highly professional, punctual and always went above and beyond his role to make us feel comfortable in the buying process. He deserves every ounce of the high praise recommendation that we got about him before choosing him as our agent.”

“Working with doors residential made the home buying experience pleasant even in a tough market during a global pandemic! We were first introduced to Quinn and Grant when I accidentally clicked “interested” on a home on Zillow over a year before we were ready to look for homes. Quinn reached out and I let him know my mistake. Luckily, a year later Quinn remembered my planned timing and reached out. This was the first sign of Quinn’s excellent organization and communication skills. Throughout the home buying process Quinn continued to be this organized and thoughtful. When our plans to travel from California to Massachusetts to buy a home were thwarted by Covid-19 Quinn continued to communicate with us by sharing homes online and discussing our preferences and must haves. When we finally arrived in Massachusetts he organized countless weekends of house tours. He walked us through the offer process (three times)! And he was a trusty advisor on how to make offers in a competitive market, preparing detailed comps when we were considering bidding over asking to make sure we were being smart in our decision making. Quinn’s detailed and hands on approach was so appreciated. He always went the extra mile. He even picked up our deposit check from the hospital when our baby arrived early! We won’t miss house hunting but we miss hanging out with Quinn!”

“Quinn and Grant came recommended to my wife and I as we began our home search and I can absolutely see why. Throughout the process, from the first prospective meeting through to closing and post-closing, Quinn has been attentive, detail-oriented, collaborative, and thoughtful in responding to our questions and providing market information. What began as relatively straightforward search with a flexible timeline quickly morphed into a speedy and novel approach as the impacts of the COVID crisis hit hard in the Boston area. Quinn was adaptive to our changing needs, and quick to react to shifts in the Winchester market. He kept us well informed and navigated us through an evolving home buying process smoothly. Quinn’s market knowledge allowed us to perform significant due diligence before committing time to scheduled tours as ‘open house weekends’ became a thing of the past. This all enabled us to quickly react and make informed decisions based on fact. My wife and I appreciated Quinn’s candor, and tailored recommendations to us as the world quickly changed. His depth of knowledge and level headedness allowed us to find a fantastic house and we couldn’t be more pleased. We would highly recommend Quinn, just as he was recommended to us!”

“I have known Quinn for over ten years, and have recently bought and sold a house with him representing me on both sides (buyer and seller). If you need a realtor, here are the 5 reasons you should talk with Quinn. 1. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for, without wasting my time. Quinn knows the Winchester market very well, and is very connected to the town both personally and professionally. When the right property came on the market, we were able to jump on it before the Open House. But that was only after many conversations about other properties that he had seen personally and offered candid feedback about their suitability. 2. He is very thoughtful about how to approach an offer. Quinn went way beyond “deciding on the right price,” by helping me negotiate strategically in a competitive bidding process. We got the house, and I don’t think that would have happened without his counsel. 3. He is thorough, and level headed. I’ve bought and sold five or six other properties over 15 years. The transactions with Quinn have been the smoothest. He worked with the other broker, and attorneys, to ensure an easy and issue-free transaction. He can do the same for you. 4. He knows how to market a property for sale. Anyone can list your property on MLS. Quinn helped me stage it and properly photograph it with an amazing virtual website. We got a full price offer in the middle of a global pandemic in less than 10 days. 5. He always gave me his full attention. Realtors phones ring off the hook. Many will take a listing and “pass it off” to their “team.” So when you hire the #1 all-star with the most listings in town - ask yourself what you are really getting for your fee? Quinn is personally committed to a high touch full-service approach. I would recommend him fully and without hesitation to any prospective buyer or seller.”

“Quinn was a pleasure to work with. He deeply understands the Winchester market and has a great network to support all stages of the buying/selling process.”

“I worked with Quinn Simpson at Doors Residential to purchase my first 3 family home near Boston. Purchasing a multi-family home I knew was going to add some additional twists and turns into the buying process, so I really needed someone I could trust. Quinn was able to guide me through it all, always looking out for my best interest. He was always there, right to the very end and even after I got my keys! Super dedicated, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely had my best interests at heart. Thank you, Quinn and Grant, you guys nailed it!”

“Quinn, Grant and the Doors team made the sale of my condo super easy and I am very pleased with the results. With a newborn, a home remodeling project, and transition to a new job, it was important that the Doors team communicate efficiently and effectively and were able to project manage the entire sale process to completion. The team did a wonderful job and through the entire process I always had a high level of trust in them, which gave me great peace of mind. The Doors team created a detailed marketing plan that generated a wide range of exposure that drove a high level of traffic through the home, which resulted in multiple offers and great terms. Quinn and Grant were transparent and effective communicators that executed the sale of my house perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“We highly recommend Grant and the Doors team! Before we even got started, Grant took the time to go through all the steps with us, listen to our wants and needs, and discuss the timeline, which was so helpful for us as first time homebuyers. Grant anticipated questions we might have, sent us listings we might be interested in, and accompanied us to seemingly endless open-houses. He accommodated our busy schedules, was available weekends, evenings, and always responded promptly and thoughtfully. With Doors’ help, we were able navigate multiple competing offers to buy our home, a condo in Dorchester, which we absolutely love. Thank you, Doors!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Grant and his guidance throughout our experience as first time home buyers and new Bostonians. Despite a looming deadline to move out of our previous living situation, an incredibly hot real estate market, and difficult work schedules, he managed to make the process manageable, and often fun.

He was objective, flexible, and responsive. We recommend him wholeheartedly to all of our friends and family, and would jump at the chance to work with him again if the time comes. Thank you Grant and Quinn!”

“Grant and the Doors team were fantastic. Not only did I enjoy working with Grant, but he was a great help and calming presence during the times when things were not going smoothly. There were inspection issues and challenging paperwork issues that were all handled. Plus, his knowledge of different loan programs helped me find a mortgage that will save me tens of thousands over the life of the loan. Thanks, Doors!”

“I have sold multiple homes both personally and as an investor in construction projects. Based on my many experiences I can confidently say that Doors Residential did a fantastic job through the entire sales process. Quinn and Grant executed a novel marketing plan that provided a high level of exposure for the home that generated substantial interest and foot traffic. Quinn and Grant are a great combination of personable and analytical – both very desirable traits when marketing and selling a home. They continually kept me up-to-date and were great project managers effectively communicating with everyone involved. I always felt comfortable they had a good handle on the process every step of the way and knew how to best represent my interests. I am confident in my recommendation of Quinn, Grant and the Doors Residential team.”

“I highly recommend Quinn & Grant of Doors Residential to anyone who is either selling or buying a home in Winchester. I recently did both under a challenging set of parameters – I needed to close on the sale of my existing home before purchasing my new home and also needed the security of being able to continue to live in my existing home while I found, purchased and remodeled my new home. There were a lot of very critical moving parts in my transactions that Quinn and Grant flawlessly guided me through while continually offering sound advice and looking out for my best interests. They were able to create a competitive atmosphere during the sale of my existing house while getting the flexibility I needed and were able to subsequently execute on the purchase of my new home in a very competitive process. Quinn and Grant were fantastic advisors during the entire selling and buying processes and clearly had a strong understanding of how to best navigate my situation. There is no doubt they would do a great job for any client in Winchester or elsewhere.”

“Grant was absolutely stellar to work with. From the first meeting to determine why I wanted to buy a home and what I was looking for, to signing off on the final documents, Grant predicted my questions, concerns, over excitement, and fears while helping me manage the scariest financial undertaking of my life. He helped me find a home that checks off all of the boxes I was looking for, in the neighborhood I wanted, and helped identify an affordable loan that made purchasing possible.”

“In addition to getting married earlier this year, we purchased our new home right before the wedding. As you can imagine, planning a wedding and buying a home at the same time can be very stressful. However, we were incredibly fortunate to work with the best real estate agents, Grant and Quinn of Doors Residential. The Simpson brothers possess all of the qualities anyone could ask for in real estate agents - they’re patient, ethical, thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, creative, honest, objective and hard working. From the beginning of the process, they were great listeners, helping us find the best home possible to meet our needs but they made sure (at every key juncture) to level with us, educating us on what we were likely to find given our parameters and timing.

The best part of the process for us was probably how we decided to bid on the home we ended up buying. The Simpson brothers helped us think creatively about our options, helping to find a more ideal alternative (than the choice we were thinking about at the time). In addition, going through the home-buying process while planning our wedding could have been an overwhelming experience but Grant and Quinn helped us manage the entire process without missing anything important. From helping us negotiate the price through the closing, they were very diligent as if they were buying the home for themselves; ultimately making sure our home was delivered to us in excellent condition and with all legal and financial considerations any homeowner would need post-closing.

We absolutely love our home and we feel great about what it took to buy it. We don’t think we would have been able to find a place so suitable for us without the amazing work and wisdom of Grant and Quinn. We hope that everyone who decides to buy a home in or around the Greater Boston area will choose to work with the Simpson brothers. ”

“We’re newlyweds and were looking for a home together while balancing the anticipation of social events, our work commutes, being close to loved ones and expanding our family. Grant, Quinn and the Doors team were analytical, informative, professionals who were a constant source of expertise and support. Talking through each step of the home buying process was important to us, and Grant and Quinn were always happy to take the time to visit a new listing, review a neighborhood or help us navigate the emotional ups and downs of buying a home. We felt like they were invested in our priorities first, and they brought their expertise to bear on our preferences while offering a true understanding of our concerns. Eventually we found ourselves in a multiple-offer situation, which we wouldn’t have won without Grant and Quinn’s expertise and thoughtful approach. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and can’t imagine working with Doors Residential and not becoming friends with Grant and Quinn. We enthusiastically recommend Doors Residential!”

“While living in New York I decided to sell my Boston condo. Because I am out of state and my condo had tenants living in it, I needed a local firm that I could trust to take care of all the details while coordinating with my tenants. Doors Residential was recommended by friends living in Boston. They attracted many potential buyers and ultimately got me the highest price ever paid in the 100+ unit complex. Doors effectively managed the entire process from listing to close. I highly recommend Doors to anyone thinking about selling their property. They will definitely do a great job!”

“Quinn did a phenomenal job guiding me through the home buying process. He worked diligently to understand the quickly changing real estate market in Jeffries Point, and went beyond expectation to make sure I was buying the right home for me (and my pup, Biden)! I truly felt he had my best interest at heart. He was very transparent, responsive, and a great communicator – which was very appreciated as a first-time buyer. I recommend Doors Residential to anyone looking for a diligent, thoughtful, and most importantly, caring partner.”

“This was our second fantastic experience working with Grant. Again, Grant and the Doors team provided skillful advice and evaluation through a complex and sometimes emotional process that involved navigating a broad spectrum of circumstances. Always thoughtful, always responsive - they always kept our best interest at the forefront. We love our forever home!”

“Our experience with Doors was the perfect amount of honest, responsive, questioning, and guiding... without making us feel pressured, insecure or nervous. Grant and Quinn are a great team, and we’ve been raving about them to everyone we can.”

“Doors spent nearly a year helping us identify and diligence unique opportunities. We wanted to add significant value to a property and create a destination home for living and hosting. Our requirements were very unique (at least 5 bedrooms and the ability to host 100 people). With the help of Doors’ broker relationships, we were able to move quickly on a property that came back to market after some challenges. We went from property to to offer in a matter of days. Doors advised us through some tricky negotiations and closing details. Most importantly, they suggested a bank that ultimately provided us with the best loan options. Now, after 6 months of investment and transformation, we are turning our vision into reality.”

“We were buying a condo in the city from a distance in Connecticut, and I travel a lot, so Grant’s advice on neighborhoods, and insights into value of the various properties we identified, were critical. He communicated constantly and was quickly responsive. He played a key role in carefully coordinating all parties, including my family, the showings, home inspection, attorneys, and other agents. The condo is fully renovated, so Grant advised us through the “punch-list” item negotiations and ensured everything was completed before closing. I would recommend Doors to anyone.”

“Grant at Doors was superb. He knows the Boston area extremely well and was able to give me insights into each neighborhood I looked at. He was extremely helpful through the buying and closing process. By far, one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. Doors Residential should be a preferred broker for our other employees relocating to Boston.”

“There is so much that is confusing about the home buying process as a first-timer. If you are LUCKY, you have an attentive and knowledgeable real estate broker who is willing to GENUINELY go the extra mile to be your lifeline – Grant was exactly that for us! The shear shock of learning about earnest payments, escrow accounts, contingencies, etc., during the process along with the basic moving logistics can be overwhelming. Lucky for us Grant guided us with the ease and compassion of someone who truly cared about our long-term goals.”

“Grant was a very knowledgeable advisor and confident advocate, guiding me through the process as a first-time homebuyer. We had a prolonged negotiation at the offer stage, which resulted in a positive outcome for me. Grant coordinated with the attorneys, inspector and lender, and made everything so easy. He kept me focused and grounded through the entire experience.”

“When I was finally ready to sell my condo in the South End, Grant was there to provide the honest feedback and guidance I needed to prepare it for sale and lead the process to a fantastic sale price. Grant advised on painting, coordinated staging, and when we updated the bathroom, even made a trip to the design store to pick up the new wall mirror and vanity. Grant orchestrated a very tight process of showings and open houses resulting in multiple offers, which he carefully negotiated with each party, and guided me through to the best decision. I felt well advised the entire process, and it was a great outcome.”
