Abe's Satisfaction Rating

4.7 of 5 (105 reviews)

I entered the Real Estate Industry by accident, while helping a Realtor friend set-up the business structure of his real estate agency. During the process, I realized that I liked the interaction with clients and the personal satisfaction that I was able to generate from a successful transaction. Shortly thereafter, I decided to get my real estate license. My philosophy towards my clients is fairly simple and straightforward. First, I explain my role as their real estate agent and what to...

What Clients are Saying about Abe

"My agent Abe Hantout was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a more professional or knowledgeable agent. As this was my first home purchase, I was a little apprehensive about the whole process and had many questions. I was also very demanding at times. Abe was very patient with me and answered all of my questions. Abe made the entire transaction very smooth despite several hiccups on the seller's end. Abe was also very much a promoter of ZipRealty and Zip's emphasis on customer service. Having had friends and relatives also recently purchase homes with other realtors and hearing their horror stories, I now know I made the right decision going with ZipRealty. I have made many referrals to ZipRealty due completely to the outstanding service, knowledge, and professionalism Abe gave me. You have a customer for life." - Ray Gasser

"Abe was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He gave attention to the small problems as much as he did to the big job, and spent the appropriate time and effort to have them resolved - always with a smile. I highly recommend him." - Buyer, Lexington, MA

"Abe took the time to understand what we were looking for. He was also very realistic and didn't overshoot on property he thought we may be able to afford. We appreciate all he did for us!" - Buyer

"Sale moved very quickly. My agent was very helpful and took care of all the little things to make sure the sale went smoothly." - Seller

"Abe is a great guy and was always willing to show us houses; no matter where or when, he would make the calls and set up the appointments. He has a lot of useful advice and knowledge, and we relied on this in our home buying decision." - Matthew L. Savage

Abe took the time to understand what we were looking for. He was also very realistic and didn't overshoot on property he thought we may be able to afford. We appreciate all he did for us! - Buyer, Dorchester, MA

"Abe was great in facilitating my home purchase. He was able to set up viewings quickly and made for a very smooth transaction." - Buyer

"Abe was very knowledgeable and professional at all times when working with us. We were extremely satisfied and would recommend him to anyone interested in ZipRealty." - Buyer

"This was one of the best purchasing experiences we have ever had. Abe is completely first class. We felt he was on our side and never forced us to do anything we didn't want to do. We would recommend him to anyone buying a house." - Buyer

"Abe has been very helpful, understanding and sensitive to our needs. He was very informative during the process of finding and buying the house we like. After almost a year of home hunting together, we feel very grateful for his help and patience. " - Buyer

"As first time home buyers, Abe was a pleasure to work with. We were taking our time looking for our first home and he was very patient and helpful with advice about the local market and honest assessments of the properties we were viewing. We never felt pushed to make a quicker decision and that helped make our relationship with Abe very relaxed and friendly. Abe was very responsive to our requests for additional information and last minute showings of newly found properties. He was even more attentive and helpful during the purchase and closing process. The anecdote we share most about our experience with Abe is how he sat with our 7 month old son and entertained him through all of the closing paperwork. Abe is a very warm, genuine person and he's well informed about many aspects of real estate in Massachusetts. In short, we had a great experience with Abe and would happily use him again or recommend him to friends and family." - Sean Barrett

"Abe is a very patient agent. We went through an exhaustive search looking for the right kind of property and neighborhood and were also looking at buy vs. build decision. This process lasted for about a year and while many brokers would have dropped their interest in us, Abe never wavered in servicing our needs. Requests to view properties were promptly executed; we must have looked at over 50 properties during this period. During the proposal, Abe was great about working with us and the other agents to facilitate the process. [...] We got the right deal for our home and we are very pleased that Abe has worked with us this past year. We wouldn't have been able to purchase our new property without him." - Alex Wong

"Abe Hantout is very helpful and has made the process easy, he is the best real estate agent I've had the pleasure of dealing with. I will surely put up in a good word to my friends and colleagues that will be purchasing property in the near future." - Buyer

"Abe was extremely helpful from start to finish in our quest for the perfect house!" - Wing-Wang Chan

"Abe Hantout was - by far - the most professional, intelligent and caring real estate agent I've ever encountered...I called Mr. Hantout to ask for his services. He promptly showed me a few places, but I really wanted to find a unit in the building where I was currently renting. Previously, I had made an offer on a unit and it was accepted only to have the seller back out. I told Abe about this experience and he said to call him next time 'even if there is no commission involved, I will go to the open house with you or speak to the seller. I want to help you get the place you want.' When a unit did come up in my building, I called Abe and told him about it. He offered to come with me to the open house even if there was no commission. He didn't want me to lose this place too. Well, Abe helped me get the condo I was waiting for. Fortunately, there was a commission, or else I would have had to compensate Abe out of my own pocket – he was that good. He was so professional and attended to every question I had. I called him several times a day and he never seemed annoyed. He also made everything easy. When I needed to sign the P&S but had to visit my cousin in the hospital, he came to the hospital to get my signature. Abe is the consummate professional and should be promoted tomorrow! As long as Abe is in Massachusetts, I will never buy a piece of property without him. What's more, I've told all of my friends that if you need a realtor - Abe is the only choice! I should also add that I'm a very hard-to-please consumer and have high standards. I'm not sure I've ever experienced such great customer service as I did with Abe." - Jennifer, Watertown

"As this was my first home purchase ever, Abe did an amazing job of providing me with good direction, recommendations, and feedback for any questions I had. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends looking to buy a place, as well as use him again in the future." - Buyer

"Abe Hantout was the agent that helped us locate our new home. He was extremely helpful. He took notes on what I was looking for and did not waste my time trying to show me what was out of my price range or not in the text of what I wanted. He encouraged me to look at properties that I did not think "looked right" by the internet pictures but that he felt was what I would like from my description to him. It was in fact, one of these properties that I ended up purchasing. He was very informative as to how to proceed with the purchase of my new home and kept in contact, returned phone calls, and e-mails punctually. I am very grateful to him. In all, I was very pleased with my involvement with ZipRealty and would recommend them to people that are looking to buy new properties (or sell!)." - Jeniffer (new homeowner!)

"Abe took time to get to know my family's desires and needs. He has a great depth of knowledge about the various towns in the greater Boston area. He was very patient with us, as we explored many different towns. He was a good coach and offered wise perspectives during the search. In the end we found and closed on a great house for our family in metro-west. I would recommend Abe to anyone looking for real help in the housing market.THANKS ABE!" - Buyer, Natick
