Frances quickly understood our specific needs, tailoring the search accordingly. She found us a house that is the perfect fit. She is also a delight to be around.
I met Frances many years ago when I first moved to Arlington and was looking for an apartment to rent. She helped me decide which area was best for my family's needs. A few years later, in 2012, she represented us as we navigated the difficult terrain of buying a home in Arlington. I truly don't think we would have been successful in buying our home without her guidance and expertise. She acted decisively with our best interests at heart.
We were fortunate to have Frances represent us again this year, 2022, as we placed our beloved home on the market. Frances worked with us closely as we considered the best price and timing of our sale. Things couldn't have moved more swiftly or smoothly. I moved abroad mid-way through the process but I knew that Frances would take care of things on my behalf, and she did. She worked closely with our attorney and also the buyer's agent to ensure that the details of our sales agreement were correct and completed in a timely manner.
If you have yet to select a buyer/seller representative, my suggestion is to think carefully about that decision if you plan to buy/sell in the greater Boston area. It is a tough market and you need someone you feel will represent you each step of the way, as though you were a member of their immediate family. Frances is that person.

We started our journey with Frances over 10 years ago. Her experience and knowledge of the real estate market is astounding. She has always responded to our questions in a prompt and professional manner. She not only explains the process in detail, she explains it so you can understand. She has a network of people that make the home buying/selling process painless and seamless. We have recommended Frances to people over the years and they have used her multiple times both buying and selling their homes with overwhelming satisfaction. What started out as a business relationship in 2012 turned into a decade long friendship built on trust because of how much she cares. 5 stars cant express her rating. In fact, there arent enough stars when it comes to rating our friend/agent Frances Allegra!
Frances Allegra is an excellent and a knowledgeable real estate agent. I am glad she was my real estate agent and would recommend her to anybody who wants to sell their property.
Frances is a skilled agent with a great sense of the market at any given time. My husband and I grew to trust her completely. When we bid on our new home she negotiated deftly for us and shared her opinions when we asked. We couldn't have gotten it without her.
My husband and I just bought our first house through Frances. Working with her couldn't have been easier or more pleasant. She was available to answer our (many) questions and always responded in a timely manner. She was helpful for every step of the way from inviting us to the open house, assisting with getting preapproved for a mortgage, helping with our offer, arranging addition walk throughs, and more. What generally is a overwhelming and stressful process (especially in the competitive Boston-area market) couldn't have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend working with Frances, and know we will again in the future!
