What do our clients say about us?
My experience was wonderful! I can not say enough about the support of Max and his team! Max's advice and guidance throughout the process was greatly appreciated. Thomas's support during the inspection time while Max was away was seamless. From start to finish, a wonderful experience during a crazy time in the real estate market. I thank you all for your support!

It was a pleasure working with the team. Thomas always made me feel like he really cared and we were so impressed with Max's ability to pinpoint what a winning offer would be for a property. As a first time buyer I also really appreciated the recommendations for inspectors, loan brokers, lawyers, etc., especially as working with your recommended colleagues created such a smooth process from the time our offer was accepted to closing. Overall, I'd say it was a great experience.

We are very happy with your service. To be honest, we were a bit skeptical that we would be able to find an agent and submit an offer in literally two days. But Max was so great working around the clock to make it happen! We were also very happy with his home loan bank recommendation. Nobody believes we got such a low APR rate for a 30-year loan! We’re glad all the paper work is finally done, but you definitely made everything much easier than we predicted.

Max and Thomas were dependably responsive and helpful. Given how easy it is now for anyone to get information about properties, I used to think that brokers add less and less value to the process of purchasing a house. Max proved that wrong. Max's knowledge of the process, connections to legal/financial resources, and experience in the Cambridge/Somerville areas are hugely valuable. Perhaps most importantly, his facilitation of the process, especially when we ran into hiccups, let me focus on the tradeoffs and options important to my decisions, instead of getting lost in the procedural weeds.

As first time home buyer Max made the process easy. He made me feel at ease about buying my first home. He is very knowledgeable at what he does. I highly recommend him as a realtor.

When my husband and I bought our first home, Max had incredible patience as we learned the process and a keen awareness of the market. I have already recommended Max to my best friend and my parents.

We've been in the house about a week now and are loving it! Thank you again so much for your incredible guidance and support during this entire process. Thank you for all your patience and thoroughness as you explained the ins and outs of buying a house, especially during a pandemic AND a crazy-competitive market. Thank you also for consistently advocating for us and making it a seamless, worry-free process from start to finish.

Max has a wonderfully calm presence, backed up by his deep understanding of the process, and his team (both at Sotheby’s and in the community) that help get the job done with as little stress as imaginable. Naga Construction and Stage to Sell were excellent referrals.
Deborah
Deborah
Your responsive communication and to-the-point direction made the entire process very enjoyable for me too. It was especially helpful during this period of also being preoccupied with other priorities, knowing your team is taking care of things in the background. Not once did I feel like I needed to worry about missing deadlines or keeping track of the details. I appreciated Max's advice in navigating through the current, atypical market. It certainly wasn't the ideal circumstances for sellers, but I felt his recommendations were fair, realistic and looked out for my best interests.

Three years ago I was converting my two family residence in Cambridge to condos. I was looking for a good broker so I decided to go to open houses to secretly interview brokers. I deliberately dressed casual, actually quite grubby in sweat pants and old sneakers. Most open houses I visited the brokers were indifferent and some were rude. They hardly acknowledged me and some even followed me around with a distrustful eye. Their homes were in my price range. I was appalled.
Then one day I decided to go to a pricey open house, a $1.4m single family, a home certainly out of my reach. Max Dublin opened the door and greeted me warmly. He loved the home. He took the time to show me every detail, he talked about the developer, the neighborhood, everything. He built relatedness, he was calm and warm and so professional. I even forgot why I was there and started thinking how I could afford this home. I couldn’t believe brokers like Max existed. I took his card and rushed home to tell my husband I found the broker I was looking for.
Max and his team took care of everything in this complicated sale. He is the real deal. His advice and knowledge were exceptional. Now three years after I am ready to sell the other condo and I immediately called Max again. This time I am living overseas, the condo is vacant and it’s Covid 19. I trusted Max for another magical experience and he has come through again. I wished I had more houses for them to sell. Thank you Max and Sarah.

We could not have picked a better real estate agent for our recent home buying and selling experience. Max had an expertise that made us feel comfortable from the outset, and he never disappointed. Max lives in the area, knows the market very well, and has numerous helpful connections that were utilized throughout our search. Max and his team helped us to secure our dream home in a wild market for a fair price that we do not believe we could have negotiated on our own.
On the selling side, we were new to things and had a tight timeline. Max guided us step by step and helped to keep us sane throughout this emotional process. He was always responsive, calm, patient and confident without a hint of pushiness. We were very pleased with the outcome of the sale.
On a personal level, Max is a truly kind, warm person who clearly derives joy from his profession. It was not surprising to see that he was well respected by everyone we interacted with. We couldn’t recommend him more highly

Max and Sarah helped us through every step of the renovation and subsequent sale of our Boston Condo. They provided us with a reliable reference for the renovation work, then helped us plan and execute every step of the sales process with efficiency and individualized attention. Max and Sarah were proactive as well as responsive to our wishes and needs. We can't thank you enough for your help!

We feel so grateful to have worked with Max and Elizabeth. They were incredible in every way - supportive, reassuring, attentive, communicative and we felt valued and cared for throughout the entire process. We always felt like we were the top priority for them, and while we are so happy to have found a wonderful home, we will miss seeing and working with them so closely - they are the best!

We are big Sotheby’s fans now, for several reasons. When we first ventured into Long Beach two years ago, Max connected us to an agent here who turned out to be both tremendously personable and very hard working. Not only did he patiently show us houses for at least a year, but he guided us through the purchase of our new home and is now helping our daughter find a condominium in Long Beach. His work triggered the Cambridge sale, and John and I and Sotheby’s owe him a debt of gratitude. Likewise, it’s been a pleasure working with you. You are both professional and very caring, and that support helped us tremendously in making this major transition to our new life. Thank you.

Since this was our first home-buying experience, I wasn't sure how we could compare you to anyone else without having had any prior experience. But the more I think about it, I think I know where this team would stand out from others. Elizabeth, we have to thank you especially, for being so responsive and communicative to all the questions along the way and going the extra mile to stop by the house to take an extra photo or having the inspector come back to confirm some of the punch list items. The positive experience we had working with others you recommended including the inspector, lender and attorney were important as well.
Ji and Alison
Ji and Alison
Thank you very much! Your team was great. Nothing but good feedback from tenants, no complaints at all! I think your strength is explaining the process to tenants and working with them through the process. This sale went exactly as Max had thought it would. Expectations are key and your team delivered without exception.

Excellent communication – Max was always incredibly prompt, responding to queries from Valerie and me by phone, email, and text throughout the many months we searched for a home.
Thoughtful / informative – Even though we had been through the home buying process before, Max was constantly sharing his experience, particularly in the Arlington market, that enabled Valerie and me to consider things that we had not considered. From brainstorming how to upgrade a Victorian to putting in an offer on a plot of land and dealing with the Arlington Historical Society to learning how to make a competitive offer, we got a wealth of information from all of the folks at Gibson Sotheby’s.
Well connected – Max gave us names of people in the mortgage, legal, home inspection, and countless other industries. These people were excellent and helped us immensely (and financially!).

The experience was incredibly positive and smooth throughout, especially relative to some of the horror stories we've heard from others. Given that Max was referred to Steff and I independently by people we trusted, we felt like those references were more than enough to go with him.
Thanks again everyone!

We wanted to say Thank You for all your hard work in helping us to sell our Condo. It was a tremendous relief knowing we had such a great team working with us. I appreciate you going above and beyond to help with the Form 6D, open houses and negotiations. We couldn’t be happier with the final closing price.

We so appreciated the fact that we never felt pressured by you at any point. Max patiently advised us in countless conversations about when to put our house on the market, sensitively weighing all the pros and cons of maximizing list price while also keeping in mind the unique needs of our family. Max even stayed patient throughout our uncertainty over whether we even wanted to sell the house or keep it as an investment property, to the point of putting us in touch with a prospective property manager. Your no pressure approach is what attracted us to you in the first place so many years ago when you patiently drove us around neighborhoods trying to help us get a feel for where we might like to buy our first home. We instinctively felt like we could trust you and for that reason we would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell. We have no doubt that you put your all into representing our interests in the sale of our home, playing a huge part in obtaining free rent for us through the end of the year which takes so much stress and pressure off a family that has its fair share of stress! You were very flexible, respectful of our time and minimizing it to the extent possible. We are so pleased with how everything went and can’t thank you and Sarah enough for helping us every step of the way. You guys are a dynamic duo for sure! :)

I have known Max since high school, so when I moved back to my hometown of Cambridge, I was thrilled to know he was working in real estate. Max is knowledgeable, genuine and very professional. I had the pleasure of working with him to sell my condo and to purchase my dream home! Max was so patient with me while we searched for the perfect home. In this fast moving market, I relied on Max to navigate and advise me, every step of the way. He and his team at Gibson Sotheby’s set the bar extraordinarily high! I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Boston area to call Max!

We were very happy with our experience working with the Max Dublin Team. We never felt under any pressure to rush a decision or try to make a house work that meet our expectations. It really felt that our needs and concerns were being heard. They showed us a lot of places as we refined our understanding of the market and zeroed in our new home. By the time we found the house we wanted to buy it seemed that we knew what it was worth given the current market, and what it would take to win the bid. Even then Max made some additions to the offer that sweetened the deal without adding much extra cost. It felt good to work with someone who was trying to be fair to all parties involved and was liked and respected by others in the industry.

It was my pleasure to work with Max and Sarah on the recent sale of my family home in Cambridge. Their service and commitment were unparalleled and they worked together seamlessly. They provided just the right amount of communication which kept me informed and engaged throughout the process. Plus, they are genuinely really nice people. When I met with Max, he presented me with his sales plan. He then executed it to perfection and this was not just a case of underpromising and overdelivering. Max knows his stuff. Max is the epitome of a realtor and his sense of integrity is evidenced by his excellent reputation in the industry. He is a trusted colleague and his amazing negotiating skills are intuitive. In short, Max is a wizard. Then there’s Sarah. With a flick of her magic wand, poof, everything was done. Done perfectly and on time. Sarah was responsive, courteous, reliable, respectful, and – well – magical.
Listing with Sotheby’s has a certain cachet. Max and Sarah are the reason why. Sooner or later you will probably need to either buy or sell some real estate. Make the process easy and give yourself the pleasure of working with Max and Sarah.

We can’t say enough about how happy we were to find Max and have him be our agent. Max is warm, emphatic, a great listener, and clearly understood what we wanted. At the same time he was extremely knowledgeable, skillful, and effective in guiding us and representing us in our transactions.
Max was always available when we needed him. Having had a horrendous experience with a prior agent, we have come to trust Max implicitly. If we ever need to buy or sell again, Max is first on our list.

During a weekend in January 2016, we visited a house in our neighborhood without really looking for a home. This house was a perfect fit for our family in term of size, location and price. We had to prepare an offer in 48h and were not very optimistic about our chance of success knowing that around 100 people visited the house during the weekend. Nevertheless, we decided to contact Max Dublin, recommended by two friends. Max listened carefully what we were looking for and was key in helping us putting together an offer. After two rounds we won and got the house thanks to his precious advice. On the way to the closing, Max worked in real synergy with our attorney and the mortgage loan specialist. The time between the offer and the closing was relatively tight and we had to accommodate several business trips. Thanks to the three of them we were able to close the deal in advance and to continue our business in total serenity. If you would like an expert guide at your side, call Max!

As a first time home buyer, there is nothing scarier than making such a big decision (with your life savings) in a process you don’t understand. I can’t imagine anyone better to guide me through the process! You made me feel comfortable, took many frantic phone calls, and tought me so much. Thank you for all of your help

Max made buying a home an easy process for us. He spent time with us going over what we were looking for in detail, followed through immediately on any inquiries we had, and gave us great advice as went through the closing process. We found our home within two months of working with Max, and thanks to his help we are happily settled in the perfect place for us.

You were really a terrific agent for us. Listening carefully, conveying messages tactfully, reminding us if we got behind and helping us sign up inspectors when we were swamped. Downsizing after 40 years of sprawling Victorians was a challenge. Having found the right place we needed to move quickly. We are grateful for all your wonderful help.

Max is a knowledgeable, extremely hard working and is very committed to his profession. He was very patient with our process as first time buyers. He steered us in the right direction and gave us a little nudge when we needed it. He negotiated on our behalf and frequently went above and beyond our expectations. He made himself available to us throughout the process. He was a pleasure to work with.

In both the sale of my house and the purchase of my condo, it was extremely important to me to have a focused, organized, low-pressure, proactive real estate professional to guide me through the process. Your additional assistance with the home inspector and real estate attorney was invaluable. Your friendly demeanor and professional way of articulating complex issues made the entire process an extreme pleasure. Your honesty, tolerance, and perseverance helped me negotiate a great deal and I believe you represented me well with all interested parties. You were always on time, most accommodating, communicative, never pushy and a pleasure to work with. You made the entire process look so easy! Kudos Max…You’re the best… Michael Miceli
As a busy medical resident living on the West Coast, I relied heavily on Max to negotiate, inspect, and broker the deal to buy my Cambridge condominium. Not only did Max never disappoint, but he went above and beyond the call of duty. In under two weeks of intensive visiting key neighborhoods in the Cambridge area,Max found a condo that was a perfect fit for me. His deep connection to the area, insider knowledge, and good nature make him an exceptional real estate broker. I would recommend Max to anyone looking to buy a place in Cambridge environs.

We feel so lucky to have met Max. He was absolutely wonderful to work with on the sale of our 2 properties. Max was very committed, knowledgeable, trustworthy and courteous. Every detail was covered and he was a real go getter. I am very grateful for all he did for us. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with Max and having him represent us. He took so much of the stress away from us and made the entire selling process very smooth. I would highly recommend Max for any real estate needs. Anyone should feel lucky to have him by their side.

It is a pleasure to write about my experience with Max Dublin. I spent several months looking around and not finding what I wanted. Then I met Max and asked him to be my real estate agent. He listened carefully, and the houses began to look more like what I wanted. The third house we visited, I was sitting in the kitchen, and realized it felt like home; and that is what I call it today. Max was present for the signing and helped guide the process. I do not expect to have to move anytime soon or ever again, but if I do, I would start with Max.
