Why Work With Us?

My experience with the whole Annette Given team was outstanding. She and Mackenzie Harple handled both the sale of my old condo and the purchase of my new home. I was impressed with how seamless both of these processes went, particularly as we were in the midst of the pandemic. Annette knows every aspect of the business so well that every detail was well taken care of. They knew exactly who to hire for each aspect of the process and I could not have been happier with the results.

Annette will sell your property fast! She found me a good buyer, all cash offer, at my price who waived all contingencies; all before ever listing my home or even taking photos. If you need to move on, call Annette and The Charles Realty on Newbury Street.

Annette and her team are top notch and a pleasure to work with. When we first contacted her she quickly put together a list of great showings and was able to get us into properties at times that worked best for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for real estate in Boston!!

The whole team at The Charles Realty were amazing, attentive and quick to respond to each and every request. Right from the start my inquiry about the property was met with all details requested, and I felt immediately this team was honest and so helpful that I did not require a buyer's agent to help handle the whole process. As buying process continued until unit renovations were completed, Annette, Peter and Mackenzie were keeping me up-to-date on all progress and made me feel as if they were building my dream forever home. It was truly a pleasure dealing with Annette and her team, and look forward to recommending and personally re-using her services in the future.

I have no doubt that had I not been with Annette and her team I would have had a very different outcome from this experience, and much less favorable one for sure. Annette and the entire team were awesome, from start to finish. I trusted them completely, and they did not steer me wrong. I am very very pleased!!

Annette and her team found us a fabulous condo in Back Bay and sold our previous home in Brookline for significantly more than our asking price. Annette and Franca were instrumental in negotiating with prospective buyers in Brookline. They are extremely knowledgeable about real estate in the Back Bay and were able to find us the perfect home.

The Charles Realty has been in business for 36 years. The team is always professional, ethical and efficient. They have an amazing grasp on the current market. Even in a less than great market they are able to complete transactions that one can only hope for. They have an extensive knowledge of the Boston market and the surrounding areas. They are a team you can trust. I highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs.

Annette is experienced, knowledgeable, attentive and obviously respected in the community. I enjoyed working with her and really felt like I was in good hands - she knows her way around the Boston residential real estate market.

Annette is a consummate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about Boston real estate, its trends and very adept in negotiating between parties. What I appreciate most is her personal approach and partnership. I always feel that she is my advocate and provides practical, professional and honest  advice throughout every step of the process which is extremely comforting during real estate searches & transactions. In my opinion, she is simply the best partner you can have.

I first met Annette 24 years ago. She was my realtor when I bought my Back Bay condo. Over the years, she kept in touch sending me newsletters about the Charles Realty - which continued to grow in reputation, and become a premier realtor in Boston. Fast forward to this autumn when it was time  to sell my condo. I contacted Annette who remembered me and my unit. It was wonderful to see her and to catch up after all those years. She and her team did an amazing job for me - they sold my condo at the first open house and they did so for over the asking price. I recommend Annette Given and the Charles Realty wholeheartedly!
