Our experience with Anne could not have been better. She was so knowledgeable, supportive, honest, responsive, helpful, nimble, etc. I've already recommended her to a close friend also looking to sell. Anne had us so well prepared to list our house. Sold the first weekend well over asking! Highly recommend Anne. She's absolutely fantastic to work with. We are super happy!
Jillian Cowles, Lowell, MA, a buyer from Lowell, MA
I cannot recommend Anne Spry enough! I put the utmost trust in Anne to help me work through and make the important home buying decisions that are best for me. She has always made me feel valued as a client and she has consistently made time for me when I needed support. Her Sales Coordinator, Drew Cellini, was also helpful and communicative during this process. Despite what I consider to be a volatile and daunting market, I found success with Anne. My first submitted offer was accepted which speaks to Anne's experience and excellence. Anne is extremely professional and I was impressed with how effectively she worked with other brokers and offices. Anne graciously took the time to answer all my questions and was always kind and transparent. I will no doubt work with Anne in the future and I recommend her to all of my family, friends, and coworkers.
I felt so secure and confident during this process with Anne. As first-time homebuyers we were nervous about things we did not know to ask. Anne was knowledgable and persistent in getting us the answers we needed in order to feel confident to buy a house.
Anne Spry is a gem. She made us feel both like a friend at house showings but also protected and confident in the entire home buying process. Anne was an amazing advocate for us when dealing with a difficult seller. She always had thorough answers to our questions or knew where to find them. We knew we could trust Anne because she asked the questions we never thought of asking. I would not want to ever buy a property without Anne's assistance!
Anne Spry was recommended to us by a prior colleague of mine, and she lived up to her reputation with them, full stop. We pay that forward now, recommending Anne Spry & her team to anyone looking to move to Boston and surrounding areas ro even relocating within the expansive yet small community.
At the time, my husband and I were located in different parts of the world, neither of which were close to the Boston-metro area, a factor that not only created stress for us, but also a significant layer complexity for Anne and her team. Anne helped us zero in on specific communities that met the criteria our future home as well as items outside of the structure itself, e.g. "vibe" and openness to new families, proximity to family, work, culture, schools, food and much more. This bucket of "other" information demonstrated to us how deep Anne's reach was in the Boston-metro area, and moreover, how she has nurtured priceless networks, deepening her knowledge of the complex nature of the Boson housing market over her many years of experience.
Anne Spry & Team made us a HUGE priority, even taking us on house tours by FaceTime (of all things!) to help us save on time and travel expenses- a gesture that ultimately solidified our trust in our relationship, and literally led to us finding our dream home. She is a phenomenal listener, absorbing the ultra specific home requirements we communicated, translating them into workable guidelines, and likely most importantly, a narrative of the nature of the community we sought on day 1 and in the future as our family matures, all without sacrificing a thing on our end. She guided us, without skipping a beat, through a fast-moving and unconventional sale; simply put, without Anne specifically, the deal could have most certainly fallen through (with many others waiting on the sidelines, happy to swoop in any take our dream home), For this attention-to-detail and guidance we couldn't be more grateful. We know she was incentivized to do so, but ultimately we also know it's because she also knew this home was ours and shouldn't belong to anyone else. It just fit us perfectly.
Anne is a true partner. She is a knowledgeable, reputable, honest, strategic, operational, and a truly dedicated professional who doesn't waste time across the board, i.e. she moves with expediency & delivers information efficiently i.e. no sugarcoating. In addition to these important business qualities, she is also still a human. She gets things done while showing her personality, empathy, and connection, traits we also highly value in business partners of our own. Anne will give people everything she has to help them find and be happy with their decisions, ones that will impact them and those around them for generations to come.
Anne is special and rare find in the brokerage community, and we highly recommend her in you're looking for any or all of the mentioned traits in a partner-broker. You won't regret it.
Putting our house on the market after building a life in it for over 35 years brought a lot of emotions. Anne not only made the process seem seamless but guided us through every step of the way answering all questions we had. She was so positive, supportive, and helpful from beginning to end.
Neil Erikson, Framingham, a seller from Framingham, MA
Have worked with Anne before when buying my house. Have been satisfied both times. They are proactive, responsive and helpful. They took a hands on approach and I could tell that they cared about the sale. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I can't recommend Anne Spry enough! She LOVES what she does and it shows. It's not a job but a passion.
She was attentive and responsive. When we visited potential homes, she was detail- oriented and asked important questions of the selling agent. She provided detailed comps and added value to negotiations. Highly recommend her.
Anne Spry was fantastic in approach as to the timing of putting the house on, comparative analysis and throughout the entire process. Her preparation explaining the offers we received and utilizing the spreadsheet to compare offers was so helpful in helping us to come to a decision. We relied on her expertise in the industry to guide us. We also highly value her integrity as a broker and person - Something that is probably often overlooked in an industry driven by sales volume.
Deborah C.,Winchester, MA, a seller from Winchester, MA
I really dont think there is anything that Anne couldnt cope with. Working with her, we have rented a home, bought a home, and then twelve years later sold that home, all with strong communication and low stress. Highly recommend.
Carol DeLaney, Winchester, a seller from Winchester, MA
Anne Spry guidance in selling my home that I lived in for 30 years was critical. She provided emotional support in the downsizing endeavor and advice on how to prepare my home for listing. Rather than feel like my home was staged I made improvements such as sanding floors and painting. As a result my home felt clean and fresh that I was able to enjoy prior to the listing.
Anne was knowledgable of the local market and I trusted her when she said "I have a feel for the local market". She was right as the Listing price for the Condo was live on Wednesday, Open houses were on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and an Offer was made and accepted on Sunday evening.
Her friendly and personable manner made my process easier, but when a crucial decision or deadline was needed Anne was quick to respond to keep the sale process on time. I appreciated her referral to a Real Estate Attorney who was able to problem solve when issues arose. Drew, Anne's Assistant was vital to the sale. He provided timely prompts and even pitched in with moving plants off the deck as a shoulder injury prevented me from lifting.
I would highly recommend Anne Spry and team to sell or buy a home as you will receive professional and personable guidance.
We were referred through a friend and really liked Anne from the beginning. She helped guide us in the right direction and gave us tips as we are new home buyers and we're clueless. We enjoyed working with her.
M Coleman, Winchester, a buyer from Winchester, MA
The purchase was reasonably straightforward, but Anne was helpful in negotiating a number of things with the seller. She has a deep knowledge of real estate in general and sales in this area in particular,which were invaluable. I would strongly recommend her.
M Coleman, Winchester., a seller from Winchester, MA
Anne is experienced in sales in this area, and things that seem complex are quite straightforward to her. She was also great at getting references for tradespeople to clear out furniture, etc - this was invaluable. We really enjoyed working with her.
William Dickinson, Woburn, a buyer from Woburn, MA
Anne was absolutely wonderful. She made the stressful experience of looking for a home so much easier. Immediately felt comfortable with her and she was always upfront with us. It was easy to work with her. She always made time for us without question. We would recommend her in a heart beat.
Janet Cain Sunapee NH (sales property in, a seller from Woburn, MA
Anne Spry was prompt with her communications back to me even when she was boarding a flight for her son's wedding. She puts her customers first,and I felt as if we were in good hands even when dealing with unexpected obstacles of which she handled well. Thanks for helping us sell my mother's condo so that she could live closer to her family in her golden years.
Anne was extremely helpful and knowledgeable during the entirety of our search and purchase. She knew all of the right questions to ask during the showing and inspection, and her strategy when it came to making the offer is what ultimately gave us a fighting chance at getting the house we wanted.
We would highly recommend Anne Spry to family and friends. Anne was experienced and skillful at helping us overcome obstacles that we faced throughout the sales process and we were grateful to have her as our advocate, providing guidance, expertise, and persistence along the way.
Anne was incredibly helpful, encouraging, and flexible throughout our home search, despite the fact that it took longer, and spanned more miles, than we anticipated! She was the perfect broker for a first-time home buyer, and her expertise provided us with the patience and knowledge of the market required to find our perfect home, particularly in the current environment. I cannot imagine the process without her, and I don't think we would have felt as successful as we do. Thank you, Anne!
Anne was fantastic and we would recommend her to friends looking in the area. Her expertise while looking at houses was perfect (she knew all about what specifically to look out for in terms of wear and tear, energy efficiency and small details) and her local knowledge gave us peace of mind when moving to a brand new town.
John and Anita Gerrein, a seller from Winchester, MA
My husband and I have known Anne for over 30 years. She is a knowledgeable and energetic realtor. Selling our family home was a necessary life-changing experience. Anne was there for us at every turn. She always answered our phone calls in a timely manner. Anne was sympathetic to our needs.
Anne lovingly showed our home to prospective buyers. Anne was thorough in her research of property details and was able to answer any questions the prospective buyers had about the property.
Anne is the most wonderful agent. Selling your home is not only a financial decision but an emotional one too. Anne answers all questions with patience and grace.
Drew was an asset to the team. If Anne was unavailable, Drew was only a phone call away to respond to our questions.
Anne is not only a successful realtor but a wonderful neighbor too. She is a wonderful resource for references for home repair.
Kathy Mahoney WInchester Ma, a seller from Winchester, MA
It is well known, selling a home can be quite a stressful undertaking. The moment Anne Spry stepped in my home she was enthusiastic and reassuring as well understanding the emotions and stress involved.Every homeowner is different and she respected my unique concerns and wishes, gently encouraging me to move forward at different stages even though it was a challenging situation or decision for me at that time
Her enthusiasm, her knowledge of market and knowing we should move quicker to get the house sold and her confidence about doing so helped moved me along.
She guided me through the appropriate review of lead paint, and recommended evaluation since it had been documented it was unknown in past .She did not want it to tie up sale and although I ended up having to pay for inspection , I appreciated that she did her due diligence to make things go smoothly for me in the long run.
Anne kept me updated along the way and with her colleague Drew as a team they were easy to reach, whether by phone, email and text they were able to answer questions and help respectfully guide me.
Anne remained relaxed , enthusiastic and supportive through every moment and even after the closing .
I would recommend Anne Spry to anyone ready to make the big decision for a home sale .
Marge Gustafson, Newton, MA, a seller from Lexington, MA

Thank you for an excellent job all around.
See above.
Jack & Caroline Charlestown, MA, a buyer from Charlestown, MA
Anne Spry and her marvelous team helped us navigate an incredibly difficult housing market. Anne spent a great deal of time getting to know us. It was reassuring to find that her questions and insight would consistently further our understanding of our own preferences and priorities. Prospective buyers need to move fast, and Anne was always available to visit new listings on short notice. Her understanding of the many Greater Boston neighborhoods, and eye for value, helped us stay competitive, without losing sight of what was important to us. Trustworthy, responsive, savvy.
Theres no one else I would trust to help me buy a house, especially as a first-time buyer. Anne was patient in answering all of my questions and was timely in organizing showings as well. Im so grateful for her help and expertise, and above all, we only put in an offer on one of the many properties we viewed and we got it! Thats the work of an expert. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent when buying a home and I would certainly go to her again in the future.
Justin Mansfield, Winchester, a buyer from Winchester, MA
Throughout the buying and selling process Anne and her team were attentive to detail and respectful of each individual decision and situation. If we had any questions they were considerately answered and in a timely manner. We never had any issues in communication with Anne and her team and if something needed to be done we could count on Anne and her team to complete it. Overall, I would recommend Barrett Sotheby's and Anne's team to anyone who is considering buying in the area.
Steve Haggett, Marblehead MA, a seller from Winchester, MA
Anne has decades of experience in the Winchester market across large and small properties, and a proven record of effectively marketing homes. We have followed her impressive, consistent results showing the volume and pricing of homes she has sold.
Her network of service providers made the process of preparing our home simple for us - she anticipated all the ways to prepare our house to look great for prospective buyers - far beyond just being a broker. We were delighted with our experience.
Anne Spry came highly recommended to us and now we know why! We were first time home buyers needing an expert to guide us through the process and couldn't be more grateful to have had Anne as our buyer's agent. She is savvy, highly experienced and a great advocate, but also took the time to listen and tailor the process to our needs. She made us feel that no question was too small. We couldn't have asked for a better purchasing experience and feel that we truly found our dream home. We will certainly use Anne for any future needs and would highly recommend her!
Francine Nickell, Winchester , a seller from Winchester, MA
Anne was amazing, and professional from start to finish. She had creative marketing strategies and boundless energy which really kept things active even though our unique historic two-family took a bit longer to sell. Would definitely recommend Anne to any Winchester sellers or buyers. A positive experience.
This was our first time purchasing a home. We had many questions and were happy to work with such an experienced agent. Anne was able to guide us during this journey and we think she did an excellent job. Would 100% recommend her.
Edward and Joan Schoenfeld, a seller from Woburn, MA
Anne came highly recommended and exceeded our expectations! Thank you!
Marissa Seastrand, Concord, a buyer from Concord, MA
Anne Spry was an excellent partner to our family as we navigated a move across country and into Massachusetts. She knows the greater Boston area well and was able to objectively advise on the local areas. Anne listened to us our needs and provided facts without location bias. Once we found our home, she worked quickly to get us the best price (through multiple rounds of negotiations and home inspection). Even after closed, she is still available to support us. Great buying experience!
I appreciated Anne Spry's attention to detail when reviewing the property. She was also responsive with any questions or concerns I had. Her market knowledge is good and I enjoyed working with her.
Joe Maloney Winchester Ma, a seller from Winchester, MA
At my first visit with Anne Spry, I could tell she knew her craft. From convincing me and my sister to stage the house ( I admit I was skeptical) to properly pricing the property, Anne has a total grasp of the marketplace. Whenever we had questions Anne had the answers. The sale of the house for considerably more than the asking price could not of gone any smoother! In the future my next property will be sold by Anne and her staff!!!
Harold R., Burlington MA, a seller from Burlington, MA
Anne Spry work hard in getting us ready for this big move was above what we expected and were happy with the results. She made herself a phone call away and got us done on our time frame. She always explained all issues with the sale and made sure we understood everything. I would have no problems in working with Anne Spry again and would tell all family members about her.
Karen Cosgrove Winchester, MA, a seller from Winchester, MA
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Anne on the sale of my home. She was professional, efficient, easy to work with, and reliable.
Anne guided us through the sales process seamlessly, from getting the house prepared presale, negotiations and closing. Annes knowledge of the market is impressive and her attention to detail impeccable. Id recommend Anne to anyone looking for a total professional who goes above and beyond for her clients!
Despite the fact of hot sellers market the home we decide to sell was built few years back and it was substantially overpriced to compare with surrounding neighborhood which was a quite a challenge, not to mentioned that it has somewhat not so typical floor plan as well as construction material and finishing. Anne prepared profound market analysis and presentation of this home futures emphasizing its forte. Beside these she carefully pre-qualify the potential buyers to minimize the flood of some random visitors. In result home was sold quick, without a hassle!
Beside of being professional broker Anne express positive and optimistic personality which makes not just us as a sellers feel comfortable , but also builds confidence in buyers expectations, assessments and finaldecisions.
The appraisal of the home came a bit short and Anne still work hard to negotiate not just with buyers agent but as well she compensate out proceed shortage by reducing her own agency commission, which was actually saved the deal.
Anne was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, attention to detail, charismatic personality, kind nature, combined with knowledge made for a fantastic experience. She always encourage my husband and I to make the best decision for ourselves. We would not have the house of our dreams without her hard work, knowledge, and support. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Anne!
Reagan Beck, Wayland, MA, a buyer from Wayland, MA
My family and I were moving from abroad and I contacted Anne months in advance to help us get to know the area and find a home. She worked with us over a nine month period during which she drove us around towns and neighborhoods when we were visiting the U.S. and then once we moved to the area. Her office arranged home visits for us and helped us think about various advantage and disadvantages of each home. When we finally did find a home we wanted to buy, she was great at helping us come up with a fair bid and then negotiating with the seller's realtor. She is a consummate professional who clearly knows and enjoys her work. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent realtor. 2016
