From buyers:

"Elena helped us purchase our dream home in Acton last summer (2008). She assisted us through our search process which lasted a few months, always patient with our very selective criteria and promising the find us the right home. We moved from the North Shore not knowing too much about this area and Elena provided us with valuable insight into the Town of Acton, schools, shopping, etc.. Once we found the house, she facilitated the negotiation process by providing us with the relevant market information to enable us to determine the right price and continued to assist us until we closed on the house. Even after settling down, we contact Elena if we need some information on this area as we know that she is a useful resource. She was a pleasure to work with and certainly knows and loves what she does. We would highly recommend her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell a house." -Jay, Amutha & Maya

"Elena was our buyer's agent. She was very patient and worked with us for almost ten months (we are picky buyers), but never pressured us to make an offer on any house. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Acton, Boxborough, Sudbury and the nearby towns. So, she was able to list the pros and cons of any particular house regarding schools, street location, and so on. We were very impressed by her honestly that she even dissuaded us from making offers on certain houses since she thought it wouldn't suit us. We would strongly recommend Elena to anyone as their real estate agent. Thanks." - Anju

From sellers:

"We highly recommend Elena Petrov as a Sellers Realtor. Elena assisted us with the sale of our Acton home last summer. The real estate market was tumultuous, to say the least, at that time. She helped us navigate the selling process in challenging circumstances with professionalism and common sense.

Elena has an outstanding knowledge of the Acton home selling market. She was able to provide a comprehensive report on comparable properties to help us begin the process. All the steps were explained and we received excellent assistance all along the way. Elena was always available, in person, or by phone, to answer our questions and provide information. She handled almost all of the details in response to our guidance, and helped us through the various town and state requirements. She obtained all necessary forms and kept us alert to deadlines.

During the Purchase and Sale phase, Elena proved to be an excellent negotiator. She worked effectively with buyers' agents, and gave us good advice at every stage. She was able to calm our nerves and maintain our perspective throughout the complicated selling process. She also worked well with our attorney in order to bring the Closing to a successful conclusion. Elena is an excellent Realtor, and we would choose to have her help us sell our home any time." - George & Carolyn Blakeslee

"We had the pleasure of knowing and working with Elena Petrov during the sale of our house in 2007. Elena brought potential buyers to us, was very responsive, professional and personable. She always went the extra mile to arrange times, which worked. She took the time to explain who the potential buys were, to follow-up with them, and to call and give us prompt feedback of their visit. Our sale was complex and my company decided to use the "Buyer Value Option" and neither my company nor I had experience with it before. Elena worked with the Relocation Company and took care of the enormous number of details involved in this complex sale. She concluded the sale successfully. Again, throughout this process she was a pleasure to work with. We are very grateful to Elena for everything she did and for making the process the least painful it can possibly be. We highly recommend Elena to potential sellers and would be happy to answer any questions you might have."
