"There are few things more stressful than buying a home, especially when it's your first time. Working with Paula took the weight right off my shoulders. They solved problem after problem that we ran into and all I had to do was sit back and wait for the key. I picked out the home and they made it happen. I almost can't wait to buy another one just to work with them again."

"Maggie and Paula are absolutely fantastic to work with ~ extremely responsive, straightforward, and more knowledgable than anybody else we've encountered in the real estate business. We could not have imagined a better experience. They are the Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon of real estate!"

"Margaret was highly recommended by a close friend and matched those expectations. This is a full-service operation, from searching properties to market analysis, to negotiating a deal. Very professional, very experienced. Her commitment doesn't end with the sale and it is this dedication that distinguishes this operation from others I have experienced."

"Margaret repeatedly went above and beyond to assist us throughout the process of buying our new home. She made each step easier for us, turning what could have been a daunting task into a manageable one. When Sidney and I were both working and there were time-sensitive documents that we needed to sign, Margaret didn't hesitate to drive to both of our places of work and get our signatures. Margaret even went to meet the pest control technician so we wouldn't have to take any additional time out of work. She is pleasant and professional, two qualities that my husband and I deeply appreciated."

"We listed the house with Paula and Margaret after meeting with other brokers. We were reminded of the obvious: the market is weak and sales are down. The facts are the facts and Bricque, having been in the real estate business for more than 25 years, knew those facts cold. We know some people choose an agent because they promise more, some choose a friend or a friend of a friend, and some, like us are simply drawn to the person, their enthusiasm, personality, and attention to detail. While it was the enthusiasm and general upbeat manner that originally captured our attention, it is really not enough to sustain a long term homeowner through the stress of selling one's home. Of course, Paula and Margaret were armed with all the pertinent information. They presented the recent sales and their thoughts about interest rates and buyer motivation. What really counted, however, was their belief in the house and its charms that won us over and sustained us. It is always tough to leave a home you have cared for and lived in for decades and this was especially true for Katherine who has been a fixture in Cambridge for many years. It thus takes a special person to see the home through your eyes as well as seeing the space as a future home for another family. The property was shown often and within a few months, we got an offer. Paula and Margaret were faithful and diligent in guiding us through the details of the sale and on a rainy cold day in November, we handed over the keys to a new young family. It was a bitter sweet moment followed by rich coffee and sweets with Margaret and Paula, two terrific women that we admire and appreciate. In the course of her career, Bricque has worked with really great agents and really poor performers. Even the best of those she has known, do not compare in providing the level of service we received from Dowd Properties. We highly recommend them."

"I had the good fortune to work with Maggie this past June. Out of the blue she called with three contacts who were interested in buying my condo at 21 Beacon Street in downtown Boston. Maggie was so quick to respond to my needs and the seller's needs that the condo closed within one month. I live in Maine and never once had to go to Boston for any reason. She even retained an excellent, very competent lawyer to attend to all of the legal details and the closing. If you have the good luck to work with Maggie and have any questions regarding Maggie, please feel free to contact me."
Clay Taylor ~ Retired and enjoying life in Maine
"Margaret and Paula brought us into the final stages of starting our lives together - that is, finding the perfect home for us. Together, with their sensitive,yet savvy business edge, the two of them know how to get the job done. They have a knack for finding exactly what you're looking for..and then some. Added to that, they can close a deal! We couldn't have been happier working with Mags and Paula and now, we're happy to call them our dear friends."
