Jeff Stineback – Long Island Home Team

Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He found us several listings that matched our criteria very quickly. He helped with through the negotiation and lease process and helped us come to a compromise and agreement with our future landlord. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home to buy or rent.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet.
I moved from NYC to Boston Metro this summer with Jeff as my buyers agent. We spent a lot of time on the phone coordinating visits and viewings (I drove up from NYC on weekends) and even more time visiting properties here in Boston. In 8 short weeks, after some ups and downs, we found the perfect house and managed to lock it in at a VERY good price. Jeff guided me through the process with a sure hand and was his naturally optimistic and encouraging outlook.
In a few words, Jeff is honest, intelligent, organized, personable, efficient, and above all dependable. I really lucked out when I found him.
Best real-​estate agent ever!

Jeff has the knowledge base in the real estate industry that is second to none. He portrays a confidence that makes his clients feel comfortable in all aspects of purchasing and selling properties. He truly listened to the needs and wishes of me and my family. I would recommend Jeff without reservation!

Jeff Stineback really impressed me. In 2010 I came to him as a first-​time home buyer with a strict budget and only some sense of what I wanted. He demonstrated urgency despite his busy schedule, anticipated what I would need to make a decision, and walked me through every step of the process.
Jeff also found me a home that I LOVE. I assumed that I would have to compromise on a few things, but he came through with every request. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.

This spring, my girlfriend and I decided it was a good time to casually start looking for a Jamaica Plain condo. We went to a few open houses and realized we should find a local buyer agent. Our first meeting with Jeff put us at ease right away. He was respectful (we had our concerns as young, first-​time buyers) and was willing to explain everything to us. We felt very comfortable with Jeff and appreciated that he had a sense of humor. This home-​buying thing might actually be fun!
After that first meeting he took us on some condo showings, during which he learned more specifics from us on what we were looking for in a home, and we learned from him what kinds of questions we should ask seller agents and things we should be looking for at showings/​open houses. Jeff was always willing to listen to our feedback and thoughts on condos we visited.
Although we ended up finding our future condo at an open house without Jeff’s presence, we were able to confidently make the decision to start the offer process because of the knowledge that Jeff had given us. He kept us patient during the price negotiations with the sellers, which meant we were able to get the closing price down about 4.8% from the listing price.
Throughout the offer, acceptance, home inspection, and closing, Jeff was consistently available to answer questions (even late at night!), calm our nerves, and be our general go-​to guy. He was even willing to go the extra step when needed – like speaking to our parents when they had questions.
We think very fondly of Jeff and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Boston area, and especially in J.P.

I met Jeff at an open house and he was so incredibly easy to talk to– friendly, honest and laid back yet totally professional.
I was hooked, even before he drove us all around from the far reaches of Dorchester to Newton, and everything in between. (He laid out the pros and cons of towns north of the river and was willing to take us there if we wanted but we decided to stay south of the city.)
Everywhere we went, Jeff knew, street by street, the pros and cons, where to get your groceries, which hidden little store had the best wine selection or the nicest/​local owners, the best coffee, how to commute to wherever you need to go and how easy or bad it would be by but or T or driving or cycling.
Looking at houses, Jeff has the ability to notice the littlest details that add character and value, or a tiny little crack the means «run away fast!»
I was amazed at what Jeff noticed at each house he took us to, how easily he knows his way around and the depth and breadth of knowledge.
Our home buying process was so smooth with Jeff. He is so easy to get along with, made our folks happy and at ease when the came to visit and wanted to get an idea of the local market, AND Jeff is GREAT WITH KIDS! My son LOVES Jeff, and I now consider Jeff one of our good friends and always look forward to seeing him again.
