Leah Ratnofsky, SVP - Compass Real Estate — Local services in Boston

I cannot speak highly enough about Leah. I was a (very nervous) first time homebuyer and could not have asked for a more patient and knowledgeable realtor to guide me through the process. Leah took the time to walk me through the home buying process start to finish, and answered my MANY questions with ease. She never made me feel embarrassed about asking for clarification or more information.

She patiently went to several properties with me and was happy to dissect exactly what I did/did not want in my future home. When it came time to put in an offer, Leah demonstrated that although she is incredibly kind and patient, she is also a tough negotiator who wants what’s best for YOU. I was amazed at how she expertly navigated the offers especially in a tough COVID-environment.

Leah was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to reach at all times (via both text or phone). If I ever need a realtor again, she is the FIRST person I would approach. I would also happily recommend her to any friends or family on the market for a realtor who knows her stuff and will help you find...

My husband and I have worked with Leah on two occasions, first the purchase of our first home, then the sale of the home and the purchase of our new one. My husband and I are fortunate to have found her as we are not from the area, so her extensive knowledge of the Boston metro market helped us hone in on the right town for us. On our first purchase, she helped us get a below-market purchase price on a newly-renovated condo in an area that was rapidly increasing. When we sold the condo, she helped us get our target asking price. Finally, our latest purchase was an off-market deal that Leah found for us. Besides being knowledgable and responsive, one of her greatest qualities is that she is an excellent listener: Leah works to understand her client and does her best to help them get what they want as quickly...

There aren't enough stars to reflect what an incredible agent Leah was through all stages of the home search & closing process. Leah was always accessible, positive, and willing to spend any amount of time necessary to offer her attention & expertise; she helped me to find & secure a dream property in the city and treated my limited budget the same way I'd imagine an agent would treat someone with no budget. I especially appreciated how trustworthy & honest Leah was throughout my home search. Nicknamed "one ring Leah" by my family members and me, Leah was always quick to respond & offer input through all stages of the home buying process. She is extremely well connected and had excellent recommendations for the closing process. Can't recommend Leah...
