Common Ground Collective | Compass - Boston REALTOR

I had the most wonderful experience working with Lisa. I knew I was in good hands throughout the entire process and I trusted her and her team every step of the way. I love my new condo so much and I couldn't have done it without her!

We are so grateful to have had Beth Maguire with Common Ground Collective Real Estate as our realtor. Buying a home from across the country could have been overwhelming, but Beth made the entire process feel manageable and gave us confidence every step of the way. Beth was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly looked out for our best interests. She was kind but firm when dealing with the seller, and we always felt that she was advocating for us. One of the things we appreciated most was her ability to point out both the good qualities of a home and potential problems that we might not have noticed ourselves. Her knowledge of real estate and houses was invaluable as we evaluated different properties. Beth was always available when we needed help and was incredibly quick to respond to our questions. We never felt like we were bothering her or that we had to navigate something on our own. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely committed to her clients. We feel very fortunate to have had her by our side in finding our new home!

We have worked with Beth for almost 10 years. We bought our first condo (2017), bought our first single family home when we started our family (2019), moved away (2022) and just recently returned (2026). Beth has worked with us for every sale. She is knowledgeable and we trust her judgement. Highly recommend to anyone purchasing a home!

Had a great experience working with Janis and her whole crew. Everyone was so helpful and answered all of my first-time home buyer questions. The experience of this group is evident. Highly recommend.

Ellen and Janis, and their team, helped me sell my condo in JP. It was a wonderful experience, from start to finish, and they helped me exceed the price I thought I would get for the sale. Though the sale process was extremely rapid, it was always clear exactly what was needed when, and I never felt rushed despite the fast pace of the sale. It was a real pleasure to work with them and I recommend them for any seller in the area!

They are the best! Their entire team makes you feel very well taken care of at every step of the process. They’ve clearly developed an impressive system that is very effective for both buying and selling. Janis and Ellen lead the team with honesty and integrity. We’ve worked with them on 4 different transactions and will not hesitate to work with them again!

It was an absolute pleasure working with the Ellen & Janis team to sell our condo. They were thorough, responsive, and communicative throughout the entire process. As first-time sellers, we had a lot of questions, and they were consistently patient and helpful in guiding us every step of the way. They also provided great advice on timing our listing around the winter snowstorms, which ultimately paid off—we received an offer significantly over asking price. We would gladly work with them again!

Not a pleasant experience. Agent was more focused on closing the deal than on fully considering the client’s best interests or potential risks.

Fantastic to work with and fantastic results. Have now purchased two properties with them and sold one. Couldn't ask for a better team on the journey.

Janis is the reason we’re sitting in our dream home today! Thanks to sheer luck, we found Janis & Ellen through Google. From the very first call, we knew we had made the right choice. Janis and her team worked tirelessly to find amazing homes, secured visits, and accompanied us each time to ensure we had all the information and guidance we needed. But that’s not all—her referrals for attorneys, lenders, and more were impeccable. Every person she introduced to us maintained the same professionalism and dedication she showed to our search. When we began this process, we felt overwhelmed by the number of steps and expectations we had set for ourselves. But with Janis leading the way, our fears and worries were literally squashed. We wholeheartedly recommend her for her hard work, incredible team, and tireless attitude.
