Why Work With HST?

This was my first experience selling property. It was the house where I grew up, a Cape-style house (1953) on 28 acres of land. In probate court, I inherited the position of Administrator of my mother’s will. There was a great deal of emotion regarding the decision to sell the house and land. My attorney advised, “the most important thing when choosing a realtor is communication.” I contacted several realtors, but something always seemed off. After searching online for other realtors and reading their reviews, I contacted Brian McCarthy of Home Selling Team. I wanted a realtor who knew the property market in Tolland and other nearby towns. Most importantly though was my communication with Brian during the entire process—from listing the property through to closing. In one word, Brian was stellar. Brian advised and guided me. He never interrupted me and provided solid answers to my questions. He was always in contact and he always returned my calls. Brian is an experienced realtor. He kept me informed about potential buyers. He also kept my attorney updated with the progress of the sale. The listing of the property was higher than the suggested listing price that I received from the other realtors. The property was sold faster than I had expected. Brian McCarthy is an excellent realtor to work with. My highest recommendation. 

Brian is the ultimate professional: courteous, experienced, knowledgeable, available. We had numerous showings, good advertising, and the house sold in 9 weeks. Brian took us through the process as smoothly as possible, and was in constant communication.

I have been working with Brian McCarthy of the Home Selling Team since 2011 as my sole real estate broker representing my new construction homes.  Brian and his entire team are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and eager to work.  Brian has many years of experience working with all facets of the real estate market and clients.  Brian has represented myself and my product with respects to near million dollar houses to the entry level market. Brian understands the full gamut of these products and the clientele associated with them. 

Working with the Home Selling Team has gained me valuable knowledge, experience and most importantly, customers.  Brian is a very clear communicator and responds quickly to all forms of communication.   Other members of the Home Selling Team are always willing to jump in to show a home or assist with a client if needed.  They really are a “team”.  Having multiple agents within one office has proven successful as many of my houses have sold to clients that are represented by Brian’s agents.  These transactions happen quickly and smoothly.  I would recommend this real estate office to anyone interesting in selling their real estate.  

My experience with Brian was fantastic. I have spent a great deal of my life working in some capacity in real estate. That said, I very much appreciated his complete knowledge and honesty relative to his plan to sell my home. Further, he keep me well informed as it related to what and how the  potential buyers interest were as well as any modifications needed. To that end, and because of his knowledge, my home was sold quickly and with few issues. Great job.

Every step of the process was great working with Brian. His friendly, energetic personality is upheld by his professionalism, honesty, and knowledge in all areas of real estate! He was always there every step of the way for whatever questions or concerns that presented to us. He is an amazing  realtor and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He will get your house sold, he works so very hard to make it all comes together. We felt incredibly lucky to have him in our corner through the buying/selling process! 

Brian was very helpful in giving recommendations for getting my house ready for sale. He was very thorough and knowledgeable which helped the house present well. I had an offer within two days of listing the house. And then he followed through with the many details that were necessary to  complete the house sale. I would definitely recommend Brian. I had thought about trying to sell my house by myself and am so glad that I had Brian's assistance. It was well worth the money.

As a first time homebuyer, thinking about the process of purchasing a property was overwhelming...but Brian McCarthy was there to help! His quick responses to all of my questions and concerns showed his great communication skills and knowledge in the field of Real Estate. In the phase of looking at multiple properties, he showed great attention to detail and gave a feeling that he wasn't in it just for the business but really wants his clients to be happy with their decisions. I now have a house that I can call a home! All of my future endeavors in renting or purchasing property will be accompanied by Brian!

Brian is extremely professional, excellent knowledge of land market and prospective purchasers and hard working. Sold property in 4 months. Would highly recommend.

"We decided to go with Home Selling Team (HST) when we began planning our move to Connecticut. We chose HST based on reviews left by others and all the information on the HST website. We made a great choice. We are thankful that we did. Earlier this year we decided it was time to relocate to the Mansfield area to be closer to family. We would be leaving a home of 40+ years, going to an area which were familiar with, but knew nothing about the housing market. We planned on giving ourselves a year to find a house and move. It did not take a year. In fact, it was incredibly quick (especially since we needed to “shed” 40 years of stuff). We purchased a home this summer and have since moved in. We met with Brian McCarthy from HST this past spring. Our goal was to learn about purchasing a home in the Mansfield area and to determine whether we wanted to work with Brian and HST. It was a very productive meeting. Brian informed and educated us about housing options in the area, specific issues such as basement cement, as well as, how HST would work with us to find potential properties and support us through the buying process. We recommend Brian McCarthy and Home Selling Team because: Brian responds promptly to questions and requests for assistance, no matter how simple or complex. Property viewings happened soon after we asked about an appointment. Brian guided and advocated on our behalf once we decided to make a purchase offer. He provided us with a comprehensive and vetted resource listing of professionals (home inspection, attorney, insurance, home remodel, yard service, septic, surveyor, basement assessment, etc) which we used, and continue to use. Brian consistently checked in with us to monitor and assure that tasks were completed and issues addressed. We quickly learned that client follow-up is a Brian priority. Brian is knowledgeable, a skilled problem-solver, tenacious, respectful and a true advocate. He also has a much appreciated sense of humor. We feel very fortunate that we were able to have Brian and staff from HST represent us. 

HST will go above and beyond to help you buy/sell your home. My wife and I had the best first home buying experience with them. We put our home up for sale with them 6 years later and they sold our home within 30 days! They are some of the hardest working people I've ever dealt with and will  definitely do everything in their power to make sure your happy and satisfied at the end of your sale. We couldn't be happier with HST and recommended them to anyone who wants to be treated with respect and kindness. They will definitely go out of their way to leave you satisfied
