Gene Hashkes valuable knowledge and experience in the industry helped me a lot being a first time home buyer. I had a shortlist of a few towns in MA and it kept growing. My agent always had a really detailed information about these towns and what the perks and shortcomings in living that town. Being a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and I appreciate my agent walking me through the entire process and clarifying my doubts patiently. I would also say that the connections that Gene recommended were really great people to work with. I really enjoyed working with Gene and I appreciate how Gene helped with all the possible information so that we can make an informed decision before putting an offer. Finally, after a few months, we were able to find our perfect first home. Yes,... Show More

He is the best. Thank you Gene
We could not have been happier with Gene! We were first-time home buyers, and the process was overwhelming and confusing at times, but Gene walked us through each step along the way. He was patient and responsive to all of our communication. No question was too simple or too complicated, and we had a lot of questions! We had complete confidence and trust in him. When we were finally ready to put in an offer, with his help our first one was accepted! We are thrilled to be moving into our dream home and would not have done it without his guidance.

We recently had the privilege of working with Gene during a challenging time in our lives. We had to sell a property from the other side of the country due to the passing of a loved one. Managing the sale remotely was daunting, but Gene's dedication and professionalism made the entire process surprisingly smooth. Gene's investment in the property was evident as he spent a month on-site, meticulously managing contractors and negotiating with precision. He provided us long near-daily updates, with photos, via email and phone. Unexpected surprises with the house were met with detailed notes and clear communication, giving us the confidence to make informed decisions. Gene's advice was on point and instilled a high level of trust in his abilities that eased the burdens associated with such... Show More
My experience working with Gene was exceptional. His meticulous attention to detail, transparency, and commitment to my needs inspired a high degree of trust. Gene's deep market knowledge and insightful guidance, combined with his excellent communication and strong negotiating skills, consistently secured favorable outcomes. In sum, Gene's exceptional qualities, including his detail-oriented, trustworthy, and experienced approach, make him a top-tier real estate professional, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled agent.
We worked with Gene Hashkes to purchase our first home in 2018 and were thrilled with his expertise and professionalism. He supported us through the first-time home buyer experience. There was no question that we would work with him again to sell our first home and purchase our second. We were wary of the challenging 2023 market, but Gene helped us sell and purchase under a quick timeline and with some unique and specific needs. We have been particularly pleased with Gene’s responsiveness and professionalism, his knowledge of the market, his strategy in terms of both listing/pricing to sell and bidding to purchase, and his realisticness and honesty. I have no doubt we will call Gene when we’re ready to sell again and we enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor in... Show More

Gene is a highly professional real estate agent who communicates well and help you optimize the value of your property. At our first meeting, Gene came prepared with a market analysis and told us exactly what needed to be done in order to show our home in its best possible light. By the end of our meeting, we had a strategy and concrete plan to list our house. He arranged for a professional photographer and was able to get those photos back within 24 hours so we could list the house quickly. Within 48 hours of listing, we accepted an offer that was well over the asking price, without any contingencies, and with favorable occupancy and use terms. We are grateful for how well everything turned out. We will contact Gene again if we will sell or buy another home and we highly recommend him... Show More

We could have not asked for a better guide through the process of purchasing our first home! Gene was so patient and helpful through the year long (!) adventure. He also connected us with wonderful partners to get our mortgage, inspection, and other services. We can't thank him enough for all of his help!

Gene is the best realtor you will ever work with, hands down. Don't hesitate to hire him or it could cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Gene is an expert in his field. He immediately went to work for us running comps in the area and coming up with game plan of ideal timing, listing and prepping our house. Gene was there for us every step of the way, guiding the entire process which made it seamless. Gene provided solid advice that was proven accurate time and time again. Gene hosted an entire long weekend of open houses and sold our house in 6 days for well over our asking price. We are still in amazement at how smooth and profitable the sale was for us, thanks to Gene. I recommend Gene to all of our friends and family and we have now used him in 3 real estate transactions.

We've worked with Gene for the past 15+ years and are always impressed. His integrity, professionalism and knowledge are without question top of the industry.
Gene was excellent to work with. As first-time home buyers, Gene was the perfect broker for us -- hands-on and incredibly knowledgeable. He was able to successfully negotiate for us and help us navigate the whole home-buying process.

Gene is great. He really helped us navigate the whole process as first time home buyers 7 years ago and was instrumental in getting a great offer quickly when it came time to sell. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Gene is a consummate professional with a deep knowledge of the local market. We were buying and selling as the market reacted to rising interest rates and talk of a recession and he deftly navigated those challenges.
Having Gene as our broker was an excellent experience! He was extremely efficient, able to work around constraints (such as various condo management requirements) to market the property, manage open houses and to sell it efficiently at the best time possible and at an excellent price. He listened to our thoughts on pricing, was very patient and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The sale was extremely quick (1 week) and we went over asking price with no contingencies. He also arranged for professional photos, fire inspection, closing attorney and made sure that we were kept in the loop of all of the steps. We were thrilled with the experience and recommend Gene highly for all real estate matters!
It’s was a pleasure working with Gene, very professional, very easy going, thank you very much Gene for all your help.

Gene is remarkable and professional realtor I ever knew. As home buyer and later becoming a real estate investor, I knew Gene in 2005. Since then Gene has helped me to acquire many properties. He knows what his clients need and work on it. I even didn't need to see acquired properties, Gene could help me from shopping to closing process because I live almost 2000 miles away from the properties I purchased. I made decision based on his professional advice.
Gene was very responsive and helpful during our home search. He guided us through the entire process and was always available and eager to answer our questions. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, and we definitely would not have gotten our dream home without him!

Gene was our buyers agent for this transaction, and his advise was spot on, not only during the initial offer, but also throughout the negotiations. He was an excellent resource who helped smooth the path for us throughout this process, and always promptly answered any questions or concerns. We'll definitely reach back out to Gene if we ever have to move again!
We knew Gene earlier as he was the one who helped us buy our condo 3 yrs back. When the time came for us to sell our condo, we did not have any second thoughts about approaching Gene again. We had our condo sold through a relocation company and Gene was happy to help with the process and necessary documentation. He is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable about the market, timing. and client considerations. He knew exactly how to come up with a plan to put our condo on the market at the earliest. We went over the details which would help us get the top dollar for our condo and was able to put it on market within a week.

Gene went above and beyond any expectation we could have imagined in terms of providing us with sound guidance and reassurance; he was responsive, comprehensive and timely in all communications; and his demeanor made him a capable and competent advocate/supporter, without alienating the buyer or the buyer’s agent. As a result, we were extremely well-served, got a great result, and were at peace throughout the experience of selling our home. We,therefore, recommend Gene Hashkes to anyone, without reservation.
My husband and I have worked with Gene on and off for almost 2 decades. He is extremely knowledgeable, a strong negotiator and dedicated to meeting his clients needs! He recently sold our condo after a tough Covid year. Last year, he helped us by our dream home!
Gene was great to work with! He was patient and understood what we were looking for in a home. He was honest without being pushy and listened to what we wanted.

Gene is a wonderful! We have used him several times for purchases and sales, and other family members have done the same. In our latest sale of an old home and purchase of a new one, Gene fought for our interests every step of the way. We had a very difficult and time consuming contingency agreement, and Gene was available day and night for every issue, large and small. He is a fantastic negotiator and got us a great deal. He is very knowledgeable about the market in this area so he knows how to handle every situation. When our buyers caused problems at the inspection, he knew the laws and protected our rights. Without Gene, we would never have been able to get into the house of our dreams!
We loved working with Gene! He was very professional, communicative, and helped us every step of the way.

Gene is the total package you need when selling or buying a home. I had offers after one open house and Gene worked extremely hard to get the deal closed in a timely fashion. Even though this can be a stressful process, knowing that you’re working with someone who is a professional makes for a much easier experience. Thank you Gene!

I will ABSOLUTELY suggest Gene to any of my friends and family and will be reaching out for any of my future purchases. Gene was kind, “real” about places, took the time to teach me about different aspects of real estate/what to look for, and flexible. I really felt like he listened to what I was looking for and delivered on it! He asked all the right questions at open houses and negotiated my cost down. He also was there every step of the way - in person for a lot of different things (inspection, signing, etc) but also via cell phone and email any time. It is clear that he loves his job and is extremely good at it. I can’t speak highly enough about him!

Gene is a wonderful agent. We bought & sold this home with him. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and helped us through the process in depth to get fair market value for our property within the time frame we had to work in.
My husband and I worked with Gene to sell our property and we had a great experience! Gene worked with us to prepare our property for the sale, discussed several strategies with us, and helped us pick the best time to put our property on the market. The staging and photographs were amazing and highlighted our home's best features. Once on the market, the process was the best we could have hoped for - we got multiple offers the day after the open house, Gene was able to negotiate better terms, and several weeks after that we closed with no incident. We were very happy with our experience. Thank you Gene!!!

He really earned his top producing Real estate agent status with every step of the way during transactions. Easy to deal with, responsive, gets things done in timely manner and positively earns his commission.
Loved to work with him.
There's a lot of good things about Gene. He knows a lot about home value, describing and maximizing the features of a house, and pricing. He was able to connect me with handymen who were reliable and had quality work. He wasn't rude or pushy. Having said all this, it's been to get our actual money after closing. Not just the Redfin cashback, but the 15% the seller had deposited at P&S. It was sent overnight to my address, but nobody was home but it needed to be signed for, so then it made its way back to his office, then he did drop it off to me while I was at work, but the check was made out to the other seller ONLY (my ex). So then I had to find a way to get it to him. I did, over the weekend, but now he can't deposit it since it's a holiday. And it takes a few days for it to clear... Show More

It was my first time buying a property and we all know this is a tough time. To top it, I had requirements which put my search in the hottest market segment while inventory was really low. Gene and I worked on finding a property for me for about 6 months until the perfect property came along. Gene helped me in my search and at closing by:
- being fast and accurate in finding property information for me
- connecting with seller agents quickly and finding out the seller's preferences
- recommending the right prices to bid in an extremely competitive market.
I would highly recommend Gene. He is very experienced, well connected in the market and has a kind and positive attitude. Thank you, Gene!

Great communication, very proactive, good listener, client motivated, adaptable to change, and understands client needs.
Fantastic service!
Gene is the best agent out there. He is very knowledgeable and patient. This was our first time buying a house, and Gene made the whole process so wonderful. We were never stressed, and whenever we had any questions, Gene would always address them promptly.
We always got the best advise from Gene all the way. I would definitely work with Gene again in the future, and would totally recommend him to all my friends and family.

Gene provided my family excellence professional service to my family. Without his kind care and nice heart, we don't believe we can have my beautiful and warmest home. I would keep on giving all my future service to Gene and recommend my friends.
Gene is one of the best agents! He helped us to buy an investment unit. During that process, He is very experienced and knowledgeable (educate us a lot), honest and patient (we asked him many many questions, there is no hidden trick etc), good strategy. In addition, Gene is also the key person to solve the problem: just 1 day before closing, we came across a critical issue, it was so difficult that seems things were going to fall apart .... fortunately, we got Gene's help, he aggressively seek for solutions, communicated to all sides people, finally the problem got resolved and we were able to close on time. Besides, Gene also helped to be our realtor agent. Similarly, we are very impressed by his high standard professionalism and skills. As Gene said: he did it well is not because of... Show More
Gene helped our family sell our condo after the first weekend's open house for 11% over asking price (that's $100,000 over list price.) He not only helped stage our home beforehand, but he managed the entire process from A-Z. His marketing strategy was second to none and as a result we had over 80 groups of people at the the first two open houses. I could not have asked for a better Real Estate selling experience. I recommend his services for all buyers and sellers if you want to come out on top in any situation. I cannot wait to buy our new home with him shortly. You cannot find a better more experienced Greater Boston Area broker & surrounding MA suburbs that you can trust 100%. He will always keep your family's best interests first.
Gene is excellent! He's knowledgeable, professional, and very pleasant to work with. I will definitely be contacting Gene for any future real estate needs.

I've had the pleasure of working with Gene twice - once to purchase my home and then again when selling it. Without a doubt, Gene is the best real estate professional that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of the local area (Newton, MA in this case) is unbounded. He knew selling agents, real estate lawyers, local ordinances, trustworthy contractors, and anyone else you need to make the process smooth and reliable. During the selling process, I saw Gene at his best. His plan for marketing the property obviously came from years of experience, which showed as he made right step after right step. Best of all, he had what I like to call "confidence without attitude." He's sure of his strategy, and he actually takes the time to explain it to you in a calm and... Show More

Gene Hashkes is an excellent Real Estate Professional. Knowledgeable of the market and the buying/selling process. Very pleasant, great communication skills.
Gene was calm and helpful throughout the entire process of selling my house! I would seek his Real Estate expertise again if I were to buy/sell another property.

I am very happy with Gene. He knows the market and can give you the best recommendation needed. I felt that my interest was definitely his priority. I wanted to make sure I pay the cheapest price possible and not lose the property to someone else. He made it possible. This is the second property I bought with Gene. I used other agents in a past, and I can say for sure that Gene is a right broker to have on your side

Gene was professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and most of all had the fantastic talent of bringing people together. We were first time homebuyers and he educated us and answered every stupid question we had without judgment and with complete honesty, was with us every step of the way and would answer emails within minutes (nights weekends it didn't matter). He brought cool and calm when things got stressful and was always the voice of reason. We closed on our house 8 weeks after the first open house we went to, and that wouldn't have been possible if not for Gene. He really took care of us and we'd be forever grateful.

Gene Hashkes worked extremely hard to do the best for me when I was selling my home. He stayed in contact and managed every detail from the open houses to the closing. My job was easy due to his diligence. My home was well advertised and he brought hundreds of clients to view it. I do not believe I would have been able to sell it without having Gene as my realtor and highly recommend him.
Gene was great in helping from very beginning from showing the properties, to making sure the offer and the closing process was as smooth as possible once we found the condo we liked.

Gene was probably the best real estate agent I have worked with. His attention to detail, his focus on taking the extra steps to help the inspections and closing go smoothly, and his organizational skills are only a few examples of his excellent service.

Our agent, Gene Hashkes, was awesome. He patiently worked with us in narrowing down the towns and types of properties we were interested in. When we were going to settle for a non-ideal property that would not have been a good long-term solution for us, he was a voice of patience and reason. And when the perfect property did become available, he worked quickly to set up a viewing that day and helped us submit the winning offer later that night. After our offer was accepted, he worked with us on all the remaining steps, helping us with the inspection, P&S, mortgage, and closing. We are extremely happy with our new home, and I doubt we would have gotten it without Gene.

Gene is an excellent real estate agent! My husband and I definitely recommend him. He worked with us to sell our condo last year. Throughout the entire process he was very organized and knowledgeable. He obviously has a lot of experience and did a great job with highlighting the benefits of our condo. He is also a very good negotiator and understands the business. The outcome from the sale of our property could not have been better and we owe it all to Gene and his expertise!
Gene was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and friendly.

Gene assisted us with both selling our condo in Chestnut Hill and purchasing our condo in the Back Bay. We could not have asked for a better realtor! Gene's expertise, professionalism, and personality made what could have been a stressful process into an exciting, fun process for me and my husband . Gene always worked with out hectic schedules and kept us informed in every step of process. He not only met but surpassed our expectations in both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new one. We are thrilled with our new home and cannot have done this without Gene! I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for realtor!
