Stephany Pizer, Silver Spring, MD, a seller from South Yarmouth, MA
Because of personal issues selling our Cape house was imperative. I was apprehensive as to securing a realtor who would understand my needs and concerns. From the moment I met Agnes and Tom I was thoroughly impressed with their knowledge and presentation. Through the entire process I received honesty and continual contact which resulted in a sense of security. The selling of this house was a painful personal process. One which I felt Agnes fully understood and she was genuinely concerned and considerate of my journey. I can't recommend this agency and Agnes and Tom enough.
Agnes and Ed were excellent. They were a great Team, proactive and operated with a high level of integrity. They obtained us the result we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. We will not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Martha T. Ramsey, retired elder law, a seller from Brewster, MA
This was a sale where Seller was the legal representative of an estate. This type of sale is always more challenging, than dealing with a Seller/Owner of the property. The sales campaign, marketing and negotiations with prospective buyers were all the more critical, so that the estate beneficiaries are satisfied that I got the highest amount for the property. Cape Cod Chatelains understood my duty in this regard and delivered.
I've worked with Agnes and Ed Chatelain for approximately 30 years. This relationship would not withstood the tests of time if they were anything but excellent in all aspects of the sale of real estate, from marketing the property to the closing. I have come to value their knowledge of municipal regulations and code, contacts with local contractors and town officials, and problem solving when building problems arise.
I usually work with Ed and Agnes; however, Ned is always available to me and knowledgeable as to all details of my transaction as back-up in the event of a vacation or other absence.
Cape Cod Chatelains have always been available to support off-Cape and Fiduciary Sellers by performing tasks that ordinarily are the responsibility of Owner/Sellers. They willingly meet appraisers, inspectors, cleaners, landscapers, estate sale personnel and contractors if the Fiduciary or off-Cape Seller is unable to do so. In the case of elderly Sellers, they will facilitate the clean out for persons who are unable to manage the process.
Elizabeth Bierbower, Watsontown, a seller from Harwich, MA
Remained calm in the face of the demands of selling property on Cape Cod which will not be mentioned in this testimonial. Just let it be said that they also calmed the stormy seas of their seller. They know their stuff!
Dale Emmart, New York and Pennsylvania, a seller from South Dennis, MA
All of the reviews I read encouraged my choice to select Chatelain. I also wanted to work with a smaller firm, a local one, and once I knew that this is a family-run business I was further encouraged to work with them.
Everything checked above is true.
with the many aspects of this sale, the Chatelains were 100% available, present and professional.
The sale of my parent's home in East Dennis after their passing was loaded with emotion for a house full of objects, memories, and major projects, like replacing the roof and putting in a new complex septic system. I wanted to work with a realtor who knew the area's local resources. The moment Ned knocked on the door and introduced himself, I felt confident that my family would work well with him. He was clear, concise, energetic, and invested in navigating my siblings and me through this process. His professionalism taught us how to move through the complex process of selling a family home, with patience and grace.
I loved working with Agnes and Ed at Chatelaine real estate! They were there with their warmth and care and expertise at every moment along the way. I am so grateful for all their help with the sale of my mother's house. I would HIGHLY recommend Chatelaine Real Estate if your are looking for an effortless way to sell your house!
Sam Whyte Brookline MA and South, a buyer from South Dennis, MA
Agnes was exceedingly kind and patient. Over the year and a half we worked with her, she responded quickly to our inquiries, set up and met us at showings throughout the cape and Plymouth, always offering valuable advice and insights. We ended up buying in a different state so did not close with Agnes but she gave us a referral to another agent there and was still gracious and happy for us.
Agnes is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, compassionate and approachable
C Pudlo western Massachusetts, a seller from Yarmouth Port, MA
Worked with Chatelains previously and were happy with our results
Agnes Ed and sons are down to earth and easy to communicate with
An exceptional experience from start to finish with Chatelain Real Estate, specifically Agnes Chatelain - from her responsiveness to my first phone call through the socially distanced closing - she was so friendly, professional, organized, available, smart & kind - could not have asked for more - thank you!
I had worked with Ed & Agnes to buy the property I was now selling and from the buying experience I knew that they would to a great job selling the property for me.
They are consummate professionals. They are always on time and usually early to any appointment. They consider the whole picture when selling the property and are spot on their recommendations for increasing the value of the house through targeted upgrades/fixes. Dealing with them and their office was a pleasure.The marketing materials created by the staff was fabulous and really highlighted the features of the property.
I have bought and sold several properties. This sale was the smoothest and easiest of all of my previous real estate transactions. In large part because Ed & Agnes were always through and forward thinking throughout the process. One quick example, Ed showed up to double check that all my fire alarms worked before the inspection. I was so surprised that Ed would do this, because when I sold my house in Winchester, I could not even get my realtors to tell me what was needed for the fire alarms in the house and it took two visits by the fire inspector, extra costs and lots of running around on my part.
Ed & Agnes are the best real estate agents. I would use them again and I recommend them to family and friends.
Chris and Jesse Barnstable, a seller from Hyannis, MA
We consider Cape Cod our home. There is no one else we would trust more than Cape Cod Chatelains to respect and empathize with the stresses and challenges of both buying and selling a house that is precious to you and your family.
One thing which stood out was the agents query's concerning our needs and hopes. His knowledge and close working relationship with other local agents made the search more focused for the time frame we were working with. The agencies listings of local professionals was also greatly appreciated for folks without that knowledge.We feel we owe the Cape Cod Chatelains a great deal if thanks for their professional but caring personalized services.
Rev. James Hobert, Tucson, Arizona, a seller from Hyannis, MA
Our estate lawyer recommended them, and that proved to be advantageous, as the lawyer and the agents worked well together.
The house was appraised at my father's death at $350,000. The suggested we list it at $399,000, and we got an offer at that price, minus some negotiated reductions (closing costs), at the first open house.
Son Ned was helpful in the internet communications and signings.
Very professional, good people.
Donna and Bill McAllister, Framingham, a seller from Dennis Port, MA
Agnes and Ed Chatelain of Cape Cod Chatelains assisted us in the past eight years with the sale of a condo and the purchase and sale of a cottage. Our experience with them in both cases was spectacular!
First, their service was extraordinary. They excelled in the big things like always keeping us informed, answering promptly our many questions, and alerting us to opportunities. But it was also the little things, like the time they replaced a defective smoke detector for us during the Fire Dept inspection, so we didn't have to drive down to the Cape.
Second, Agnes and Ed have a deep knowledge of the Cape Cod housing market. We got the best prices and closed our transactions in record time because of their expertise in this market. We so much appreciated their counsel and advice in guiding us through this process.
Basically we felt like we had a family member looking out for us. That is just the way they treat their clients, like family. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to make their real estate transaction as effortless and profitable as possible.
Wendy and Dave Hodgerney/Harwich MA, a buyer from South Dennis, MA
I feel Agnes was a gift...she literally fell into our laps one morning on a search and that was it. She met with us, we explained ourselves and the rest~is history. I felt as time went by, Agnes became our friend. She understood our time line, our thoughts and where we were coming from.
If there were an option of "over and above excellence" I would have clicked that button....
Always felt our best interest was thought about, never felt alone...always always always right there to answer questions, find out details, and make us feel like we were the only ones that mattered.
Agnes and Ed, Cape Cod Chatelains, were competent, knowledgeable and efficient. They were also prompt in arranging appointments. They were superior with communicating followup and updates. I will always be grateful for the assistance and the successful sale accomplished through the efforts of Cape Cod Chatelains.
Kathy Blackledge Seekonk MA, a seller from Dennis Port, MA
I knew as soon as I met Ned Chatelain I didn't need to look further. The fact that Chatelain real estate is a family business was a factor in my choice. Family businesses are generally trustworthy and the Chatelains didn't dissapoint.
The Chatelains are experts in understanding the challenges of people wishing to sell a home on Cape Cod. Their recommendations about what expenses to put into our house, and what should be left for prospective buyers, were spot-on. They gave us wonderful advice on every matter of concern to us. In addition, they responded to every message (phone, text, email) within minutes.
Agnes and Ed Chatelain removed most of the anxiety about the sales process and made this a far less stressful experience than we anticipated. They explained the pros and cons of different types of mortgages that prospective buyers were seeking. . Without that guidance, we may not have sold the house so quickly.
Chatelain Real Estate represents many property owners who are selling high value property. The home we were selling was modestly priced; well below the average that the Chatelains usually deal with. Despite that Agnes and Ed made us feel like we were their most important clients.
Jim and Holly DiTroia, a seller from Centerville, MA
The entire Chatelian's team handled the sale with extreme professionalism. We could not be happier with how the entire process was handled.
Cape Cod Chatelains was the perfect choice for us to find a house on the cape. They know the area and neighborhoods and to quote our broker, he gets into your head to know exactly the kind of house you are looking for. I feel they always went out of their way to accommodate us. We love our new summer home and will definitely recommend them to our family and friends.
Mary Daley, Cape Coral, Florida, a seller from South Yarmouth, MA
Having previously worked with the Chatelains before, would not have chosen anyone else!! There committment to there work is extraordinary!
Timothy & Katelyn Blake, West Yarmouth, a buyer from West Yarmouth, MA
When we moved to the Cape, we were looking for an agent we could trust and work with. We were pleased to not only find an agent, but an entire family. They took the time to meet us, figure out what our family needed, provided a time line and plan, and then executed the plan for our family. The Chatelains were dedicated to our needs and answered any question we had. We are truly grateful and forever in their debt. We highly recommended the Cape Cod Chatelains.
Mary Beaudoin, West Harwich, a buyer from West Harwich, MA
Agnes Chatelain approached all questions like an archeological dig. She was a wealth of information and a fantastic researcher . Her timely responses and approachable manner made a daunting task, buying a home, a positive experience. We would highly recommend working with Agnes. Her tenacity and patience are unsurpassed!
Elizabeth Ganey California, a seller from Brewster, MA
I highly recommend the Cape Cod Chatelains real estate team without reservation. Every aspect of the purchase of our new home as well as the sale of our previous home was handled professionally and with grace by Ed, Agnes, Paul and Ned. Although we were not on the Cape at the time of either the purchase or sale of our homes, their team executed both seamlessly. We relied heavily on the recommendations of Ed and Agnes when we needed an attorney, a home inspector and other professionals, and could not have had better service from any of the folks they recommended. In working with the Chatelains, one comes to realize that their many years of living and working on Cape Cod have enabled them to build great relationships with their colleagues in the field. They conduct themselves with honesty and integrity, and enjoy their work. Thank you, Chatelains for your dedication and perseverance in helping us find our dream home on the Cape.
Mike, Stoughton, MA & West Yarmouth, MA, a buyer from West Yarmouth, MA
I have dealt with several real estate agents on Cape Cod over the years and the Cape Cod Chatelains stand head and shoulders above the rest. I mostly worked with Ned who provided outstanding service and support. He was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He was a great resource and even taught me a few things along the way. I would strongly recommend the Cape Cod Chatelains!
Connie & Richard Crockett Dennisport, a seller from West Harwich, MA
The Best people to work with and their communications skills are unbelievable
Bob and Linda Marchese, Barnstable, a seller from Brewster, MA
Everyone, Agnes, Ed, Ned, Paul were always available for any question or need. If one wasn't available, another would step in immediately to address any aspect.
They all showed sincere interest in our need to sell the home and what needed to done to accomplish the goal.
Dedicated, hard working, reassuring during some anxious moments, they gave the attention as if we were their only client.
A great tem effort. An immense thank you to all.
Glen Martel & Lori Zinkevich-MacDougall,, a seller from South Yarmouth, MA
We found Ned to be extremely professional throughout the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing property. As buyers and sellers we relied on his knowledge and expertise to assist us in making decisions. We would strongly recommend Cape Cod Chatelains to anyone looking to buy or sell a home on Cape Cod.

Cape Cod Chatelains truly provided professional/quality service that resulted in a great experience. 2018
Irene Papadopolos, South Yarmouth, a seller from South Yarmouth, MA
The sale of our home was quite unique and challenging to say the least. Agnes and her team handled the sale with confidence and expertise. She was truly professional and knowledgeable in every challenge we faced along the way.

Fran Wilkinson, Charlton, MA, a seller from Sagamore, MA
Ned was fabulous to work with. I am not on the Cape, so I needed someone I could trust with everything, and he is most trustworthy. 2018
Mike Parise - Westborough, MA, a seller from West Yarmouth, MA
Agnes did an outstanding job at coordinating things that needed to be done while I was remote to the Cape. Her availability was outstanding as she responded quickly to any call or emai/text. She took ownership of making the house available, following up on items that she scheduled for me, making recommendations on local contractors/services and, in general, being extremely accomodating to my situation.
If you're selling a home on the Cape and looking for someone who is understanding, trustworthy, and reliable - especially without you being there, Agnes should be your agent.
2017
Karen Donahue, Dennis Port , a buyer from Dennis Port, MA
Cape Cod Chatelaines provided a professional and informative experience! I would definitely use them again!! 2017
Ed and Agnes Chatelain were a pleasure to work with. They held many open houses at our home and always provided timely feedback. They both were excellent communicators and worked hard for us to sell our property. Agnes took beautiful pictures of the home and they advertised the property in the Cape Cod Homes Brochure. We were pleased with their marketing efforts. I would highly recommend the Cape Cod Chatelains. 2017
Jane Scharff- Memphis , a seller from Osterville, MA
This experience could not have been more positive, my husband agreed and he was a realtor many years ago!
Agnes & Ed mpressed us from our initial contact throughout the entire process. The sale process took less than a month for a signed contract whileI was apprised of each step along the way. My experience with the Chaterlaines was excellent!
had previously dealt with Ed and Agnes on two sales and one purchase. Everything went smoothly. Kept in contact with me almost on a daily basis. Without them I wouldn't have known what to price the two sales. I got a good deal on both. Ed and Agnes got me the best townhouse for what I could afford at the time. I would recommend them to anyone.
everything went smoothly. They got me a great condo at a great price.
Ed and Agnes know their stuff. They ask what you want and they go out and get it for you!
everything went the way I was hoping it would go 2016
Beatrice Fitzgibbons. Harwich, a seller from Harwich, MA
Ed and Agnes are friends. They were the ones who found our first house on the Cape and so I had no hesitation on relying on them once again. They were always there when I had a question or needed help. Moving is a big step and they made it as easy as possible for me. 2016
Donna MacDonald, Dennis, MA, a seller from West Dennis, MA
The Chatelain team of Agnes, Ed, and Ned are the best to have when undertaking the enormous task of selling your house and moving. Agnes and her team really went the extra mile for us. We value their honesty, knowledge, and their willingness to work with us and provide great answers to all our questions. Trying to sell the house was an especially stressful event and they helped so much with their expertise and handling of so many things that came up, relieving much of that stress. The house sold much more quickly than we could have hoped. Due to the positive experience we had with team Chatelain, we highly recommend them. 2016
Stan P Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, a seller from South Yarmouth, MA
We have used the Chatelain "team" for 3 real estate transactions in the past 2 years. They are FULL SERVICE and absolutely the best. Their input in marketing allowed us to increase our revenue from the sale AND do so in under 2 weeks after listing our property! We will absolutely use them in the future and believe their knowledge and professionalism are the best on the Cape. 2016
Agnes helped us find a house when we lived out of state. Not easy! She handled that so well and worked so hard that we never considered anyone else when looking for our new Cape home. She and Ed (and Ned ) are true professionals. We HIGHLY recommend the Chatelains for any Cape real estate needs. 2016
I was faced with selling a house on Cape Cod as part of my father's estate. It felt like a difficult task since I live in Buffalo, NY. Agnes handled everything long-distance through phone, and email. She sold the property quite quickly at a great price and handled the closing without a hitch. 2015
Roly & Kirsten West (Yarmouth Port), a buyer from Yarmouth Port, MA
We engaged Agnes as our agent to help us find a home. She did everything one would hope for over a months long process. She was always upbeat, cheery and positive.
We enjoyed getting to work and know with Agnes (and Ed). 2015
Agnes Chatelain is a true professional. She was able to sell my property with ease. I had full confidence in her from the beginning until the closing time. She was a calming influence for me in what seemed like a stressful time. Her warm and comforting manner was much appreciated. Additionally, she was always available to answer questions when I had them. I would highly recommend Agnes Chatelain due to her consummate professionalism, her compassion, her expertise, and her motivation. 2015
Kris M., Hamden Connecticut, a seller from Yarmouth Port, MA
We feel absolutely blessed to have been referred to Agnes and Ed Chatelain. As brokers for the estate sale of my mothers home following her death, they took on two stressed out co-executors, both of whom lived out of state. My brother and I had little knowledge of the area or of local regulations and resources. The Chatelains level of expertise, energy, and willingness to go the extra mile for us was incomparable. Agnes responded to every question or concern almost instantaneously, kept us informed of every detail, reassured as needed, and deftly brought us through inspections, sale and closing with efficiency and ease. The combination of professionalism, practicality, and warmth made the working relationship an absolute joy. 2015
