We were very pleased with our recent experience with Century 21 Sexton & Donahue. Most especially, our agent Lisa Howitt was fantastic! Over a six month period, she helped us sell our home, and patiently helped us find and buy a home in Melrose in a very competitive market. My wife and I gained a lot of respect for the way Lisa approaches her job. She is experienced, professional, and knowledgeable. She is also committed to always putting her clients first. Many people say things like this, but don’t follow through – Lisa lives and breathes this motto. She consistently put us first, and was relentlessness when it came to meeting our needs during our selling and buying process. No question went unanswered and no request seemed insignificant. We specifically wanted to work with Lisa because she is consistently one of the top producing agents in the area. After working with her these past six months, it is obvious why she gets such great results. Our family will be settling down in Melrose and won’t need a realtor in the near future, but we will be telling anyone looking for a realtor that Lisa Howitt is an exceptional agent.

Century 21 Sexton & Donohue, Inc. we have found to be the friendliest and most professional agency in Melrose. While having met other 21 Agents, all of whom are first-rate, we found working with Kathy Platcow to be an incomparable experience. The search for us was long and demanding to find the right property. Her patience even under late night circumstances on multiple occasions was outstanding. I have known personally other agents, and worked with a highly professional agent to sell our property prior to Melrose. No one has ever matched Kathy Platcow’s level of friendly professionalism. She offered to visit the property we were selling, met late at night in Century 21 Office to change an agreement as needed, and was in cell phone contact as we traveled in other parts of the state. We care so much as Melrose residents we intend to continue periodic contact, and give the finest recommendation.

We have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Howitt while purchasing two homes and selling one in Melrose. She has the utmost professionalism and is very knowledgeable about the town. Her patience was key as we extended our search to several surrounding towns. She got us our dream house at a price that worked with our budget. I would recommend Lisa to anyone considering buying/selling in Melrose.

My wife and I sold our Melrose home last year through Steve Gould with Sexton & Donohue and could not have been happier with our experience. We interviewed several agents from most of the established brokers in town and were impressed with Steve's profesionalism and demeanor. We loved that he was a Melrose native and lived around the block from us! He was on top of every detail from the get-go and was always willing to go the extra step. He advocated for us through the cycle of showings and went to bat for us during negotiations. We would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the area.

I have had the opportunity to work with Jill Leeman at Sexton and Donohue in many different capacities. As a real estate attorney I worked with Jill when she represented both buyers and sellers. I found her to be professional, forthcoming and invested in the best outcome for her clients. As an attorney, I worked with many different brokers, however, it was because I thought so highly of Jill that I asked her to not only represent my husband and me when we purchased our first home, but also to work with us when we sold that home five years later and when we purchased our second home. As a listing broker Jill worked tirelessly to sell our home. I found her approach to selling quite strong – she was honest and dedicated to getting our property the most exposure possible through both traditional and ‘outside the box’ ideas. As a buyer’s broker Jill truly cared about finding us the best home possible. She understood our needs and brought us to homes that we were truly interested in. In fact, when we looked for our second home, we purchased the first property she showed us. It was not just luck, it was because Jill took the time to get to know us and instinctively knew the property would not only work for us – but would be the home we wanted to raise our family in. If you are interested in buying or selling property – I would recommend that you contact Jill Leeman. She is an advocate and an ally in the often crazy world of real estate.

Century 21's Steve Gould sold our Melrose home and we can't say enough about his dedication to getting the job done. His "above and beyond" benchmark of service began months before we listed and continued well after the sale. Sexton and Donohue has been around a long time and continues to have a great reputation in Melrose and the surrounding communities because of brokers like Steve. He knows the area like the back of his hand and old houses like ours inside and out--not the smallest detail escapes his watchful and caring eyes. We would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in Melrose.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Steve Gould as our realtor. He was amazing. He helped us through the entire process. Steve gave us great advice, guidance and answered all of the many questions we had. As being first time home owners it was a wonderful experience and in the future we would definitely use Steve!

"Ron Webb was the most helpful Broker we have ever dealt with. I have used Century 21 in the past & no one can compare.”

We recently sold our property using this real estate. Our agent (Steve Gould) was very helpful. He was always willing to take the time to answer (our many questions). When we passed papers, again our agent was very helpful and available. I would definitely recommend using this agency.

Kevin Sexton was our buyers agent when we bought our house 7+ years ago, and I've worked with him more recently too. He's very thorough and knowledgable, and very accommodating too!
