Sharon Betzalel

"I would highly recommend Sharon Betzalel! Since I was a first time buyer, she made sure to take the time to walk me through all the steps and make sure I understood everything. She is so knowledgeable and such a great resource of information. Any time I reached out with questions, she would get back to me super fast! Sometimes even within minutes! Going forward, anyone I know who is looking to buy a home, I will be sending straight to Sharon."

AA from West Roxbury

"I contacted Sharon Betzalel when I decided to sell my condo after living there for 39 years because she was a familiar name in the Brookline real estate market. Although I intended to "interview" her, I knew right away that she was the right person to manage the marketing and sale for me, someone I could trust to advise and guide me along the way. She worked tirelessly and energetically, listening and responding to my concerns, anticipating next steps, and offering suggestions/solutions and contacts. While always responsive, honest, and calm, she was savvy about pricing and marketing. And fast. Shortly after photos were taken, the listing went live along with arrangements for an open house, including clever use of social media. She followed through on every detail, eased me through a glitch, and made this a nearly seamless process. I have already recommended her to others in Brookline and will continue to sing her praises. For buyers and sellers, Sharon Betzalel is the best."

LR (from Brookline)

"I met Sharon many years ago when I was touring an open house in which she was the agent. I was anticipating converting my two family house in Brookline into condominiums and in retrospect, I was looking for an agent that was familiar with the Brookline market and more importantly was honest and able to listen to my ideas, concerns, and goals. I eventually asked Sharon to be my realtor and she helped me convert my 2 family house into 2 condos, where I could live in one unit and sell the other unit. Sharon provided me with an excellent lawyer that was knowledgeable about the complexities of initiating condo documents that protected the rights of both owners and was able to anticipate problems that may arise. Sharon guided me through the entire condo conversion and sale process successfully and worked hard on my behalf.


When I decided to buy (and sell) a small investment property several years ago I did not hesitate to ask Sharon to be my broker. This time I wanted someone who would manage the transactions on her own with little input from me as I was going through a difficult time. She accomplished this seamlessly.


Sharon listens and gets to know her clients. She is positive and encouraging without promising unrealistic expectations. Once again, I highly recommend her for selling or buying a home."

"My husband and I have purchased many properties in our 26 years together. Boston is, by far, the most difficult market we have jumped into and Sharon Betzalel is, without a doubt, the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I met Sharon Betzalel when I called her office about a Trulia posting. I immediately liked her and decided to work exclusively with Sharon. I am a suburbanite getting into the Boston real estate market for the first time. Sharon is very knowledgeable about the Brighton/Brookline area. She was very interested in my wants and needs regarding the type of property that I was looking for. Not wanting to waste my time driving into the city whenever something came on the market, Sharon would scope things out and have me in only when it would be something I would be interested in. Sharon was straight forward, explaining the reality of the Boston real estate market. When I lost a property that I really wanted, she was right there with good advice. I followed that advice, and recently had an accepted offer on a better property than the one I did not get. Once my offer was accepted, Sharon did not forget about me. She kept me posted every step of the way. I know that when I eventually sell this property in order to upgrade, Sharon will be my Realtor of choice for both the sale and the purchase.

YF from Holliston


My husband and I had an excellent experience with Sharon and highly recommend her services. Through her initial advice not to make major changes in our home in order to sell, her accurate assessment around pricing and her well thought out marketing strategies, we found our buyer within the first three days of its listing. We had some unexpected glitches along the way, but Sharon was there at every turn, working and advising until the sale was successfully completed. A+!

IC from Brookline


Sharon is the consummate real estate professional. During the entire process of selling our condo she went above and beyond to ensure no detail was overlooked. She was available anytime we needed to speak with her, which always put us at ease. Our transaction was completed on schedule due to her tireless work on our sale.

JA from Brookline


Sharon Betzalel is the epitome of professionalism and is a pleasure to work with. I was lucky enough to deal with Sharon on the seller's side while purchasing my first property. I could not have asked for a more smooth and enlightening experience. She was always timely, detail oriented and caring in her responses and unquestionably delivers a high level of client service. I would gladly recommend her.

GK from Brookline


I have worked with Sharon Betzalel on three cycles of buying and selling over the last 20 years. She is fantastic! Really quick getting back to me and with precise answers and information. She knows a lot about the ins and outs of home inspections, deeds, real estate lawyers, town regulations, taxes. And how things can take a while. What to worry about and what not to. She is very calming, yet truthful. I have asked her for names of workmen, lawyers, etc. and I have been happy with their work. For me, once you see that an agent is capable, it's about trust. I've spent hours with Sharon seeing places, talking on the phone and at closings. There has never been a blip. She is honest through and through. Being able to help people through the often difficult process of buying and selling means a lot to Sharon and it shows.

KA from Brookline


As a first time buyer, I could not be happier that I ended up working with Sharon Betzalel. Before we were put in touch, I met with 4 other real estate agents who did not listen to what I was looking for and just signed me up for email alerts. I was getting worried that I would not find a condo at all based upon the places that they were showing me and on what they had to say about my budget. To say that Sharon went above and beyond is an understatement. She saw every property that she could before I did and she truly listened to what I did and did not want. She answered every email within a few hours (usually under an hour). After I found a condo, she came with me several times to check on things and she met the inspector when I had to work. She continued to provide the support that I really needed as a first time buyer long after her job was really finished. I am so happy with the condo that I ended up with. I really do not think that I would have found it without Sharon. I would not hesitate a second to recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Boston area. She really is the best!

ER from Jamaica Plain


Sharon is the best! She helped me buy my place in 1998, and I always said that I would only go back to her in the future, which I did! I now live in a great place that I bought in 2012 with Sharon's help. Sharon is very knowledgeable about the market and is very down to earth.

MD from Brookline


I would definitely recommend Sharon Betzalel as your real estate agent. I have just purchased a place with her help and am very satisfied with her professional approach. She listened to my needs and priorities, realized the limits of my budget, and was able to find an ideal place that met the criteria. She is very easy and fast to communicate with, reliable, and will take time to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

KD from Brookline"

"I am writing to give Sharon Betzalel my highest recommendation. Sharon possesses all of the attributes necessary to be an excellent broker: she knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with her clients. Sharon is both very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job. In my particular case, selling my mother's house in Brookline after she passed and living out of state was extremely difficult. Sharon was beside me each step of the way from listing to closing. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Sharon or being anything but happy in choosing to work with her.

"We used Sharon Betzalel as a Realtor to help us find a house in Brookline. She went above and beyond what we expected of her. Sharon is a great listener, she cared about what our needs and wants were, she gave us knowledgeable advice about the houses that we saw, and she encouraged us to keep looking for a house that we would both love. The house we ended up buying is fantastic and just what we were looking for! We would highly recommend Sharon as a Realtor with no reservations at all.
"
MS and MF (Brookline)

We used Sharon Betzalel in purchasing our first home in Roslindale and could not be happier. We had met with two other Realtors before, and we really got the sense that Sharon was "working for us". She was a great listener, understood what we were looking for and made great recommendations along the way. She was not pushy at all, and always made it about our comfort level. We recommend Sharon to everyone and could not speak more highly of out experience with her.
RC and RP (from Roslindale)

"We are so lucky that we found Sharon as our agent! From the first phone call to when we finally nailed down our apartment in Brookline last year, (Do you know how hard it is to buy a condo in the Boston area for ourselves as first time home buyers? It's a physical and mental competition...) Sharon is very responsible and patient to answer every question and concern we had, no matter whether on the phone or in the email, in the early morning or late at night.

She is professional and considerate, and she thought about the details for us based on her rich experiences. She even helped us find a handyman and took care of small issues in our condo when we were not available...

We definitely recommend Sharon to anyone who needs an excellent real estate agent, for buying or renting, you won't be disappointed.

LW & CJ (Brookline & Natick)

"I met Sharon several years ago at an open house. She was very knowledgeable of the Brookline real estate market and so I did not hesitate to call Sharon when I decided to convert my two-family home into two condominiums and live in one of them and sell the other one. She made suggestions as to what improvements I should and should not invest in, as well as listening carefully to my ideas and objectives. She also turned out to be a great resource person, referring me to an excellent attorney who anticipated all the complexities that occur in the process of establishing condominium documents and sales. Her quiet, calm demeanor and her strong and consistent advocacy of my goals assured me that she was always working on my behalf. I highly recommend her services for selling a home.

KR (Brookline)

"Sharon is an excellent Realtor, and really made the process more manageable as a first time home buyer. She was able to answer questions I didn't even know I had before I could ask them, and she was always my best advocate and always encouraged me to do what was right for me in the offer process. She was referred to me by a friend, and I would (and have!) referred her to my friends. She's a great asset in the home-buying process."
T.C. (From West Roxbury)

"I was fortunate enough to have met Sharon at the very beginning of my real estate search. I was a first time home buyer and pretty ignorant about the market and the process of purchasing a home. Sharon took the time to walk me through every step of the process and helped me navigate several obstacles. She is knowledgeable and communicates clearly. Her professionalism and expertise were invaluable tools. She repeatedly went above and beyond to ensure that I would purchase a property in a neighborhood that I loved.

Throughout the time we worked together, she was consistently professional, patient, kind and always impressing me with her hard work to research whatever question I had thrown her way. Once she met me at an open house and helped me to dig through the snow so I could park my car on the side of the road. She was easy to get in touch with at any hour of the day, any day of the week. She toured countless open houses with me and picked me up from work if it meant being able to see a property during the week before the property went on the market at the weekend open houses. She met me in the evenings or on the weekends because of my work schedule.

If you are looking for an agent that you can trust, who will take the time to explain the confusing and sometimes overwhelming process to you and be by your side through each step, who will be flexible and creative, I would highly recommend working with Sharon. I will gladly refer my friends and family her way without hesitation."
TP (Roslindale)

"My wife and I worked with Sharon Betzalel from William Raveis to purchase our first home and we really can't say enough good things about her. Her personal commitment, experience, expertise and very positive outlook made it easier for us to go through the process of buying a new house. She is knowledgeable, approachable, patient, and incredibly flexible with her time. During every step of our search she was always there guiding us and giving us her honest opinions. She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is very challenging, but working with Sharon made it a worthwhile experience. We highly recommend her service."
RR and LR (Ashland)

"Sharon Betzalel helped us find our home and we can't be more grateful! We formed a close relationship over the years and she has been very patient with us from the beginning. She has tremendous experience, so she was always able to provide very helpful insights and her opinion meant a lot to us. More importantly, she was always a true advocate for us in terms of always asking the right questions and pointing out the issues we weren't able to see. We couldn't have asked for a more experienced and more caring agent. Highly recommended! "
NK and CK (Newton)

"Sharon is incredible! My husband and I were first time home buyers and had been in the Boston area for about 4 years when we began looking into buying our own place. As such, we didn't know what to expect about the home buying process nor were we that familiar with the different areas of the city and the price tag that went with it. Working with Sharon was a wonderful experience from the very first interaction all the way to saying our goodbyes. We were trying to find our buying agent by ourselves and I found Sharon via a Google search. I had already been in touch with a few other real estate agents in my search, but they hadn't felt like the right fit. Sharon responded to my email about having a first meeting within minutes and was willing to meet us in person & on the weekend to accommodate our busy work schedules. Sharon was always early to our meetings & well prepared. She explained every step of the process in detail and always had time and patience for our questions or requests to explain any home buying jargon! She went to open houses with us and helped explain what to pay extra attention to when viewing the homes. We were in the market for a condo, and we had extra requests to pay special attention to the layout of the units (sort of Feng Shui considerations of the home) and she was happy to accommodate all of our quirky requests! In the end, we ended up finding a new construction condominium in another neighborhood than we were originally looking in. We asked Sharon to help us find info on the units available for sale and she procured the info the same day. We decided it was the home for us. Sharon helped us to execute our reservation agreement, and then our purchase and sale agreement including dropping our deposit check off to the sales office for us. Since it was new construction, the completion date was tentative and ended up pushed back 6 months from the original timeline. Sharon went above and beyond in communicating with the building sales team to ensure that my husband and I were among the first to close and move into the building! On the day of our closing, Sharon did an additional walk through to ensure that everything was in working order for us when we moved in. Then later that day she attended our closing to provide support and wish us the best. All in all, we highly recommend Sharon as a buyer's agent. She was responsive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Boston real estate and the home buying process. We hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future for our Boston real estate needs."

"Sharon's work is outstanding, thorough, efficient, shows a depth of knowledge, attention to detail, careful listening, a client advocate and more!! I already recommended her!"
Buyer&Seller (Brookline)

"We worked with Sharon both in selling our old home and buying our new one. She was incredibly supportive every step of the way from handling all the technical details to helping work through all the personal questions that come up when trying to find the perfect home. And most importantly, we ended up in a home we absolutely love! We would recommend Sharon in an instant!"

AG and NG (Brookline/Arlington)

"After having a great experience working with Sharon as a first time buyer seven years ago, she was my first call after we decided to sell. Sharon helped us find a buyer quickly. We were particularly grateful for her help because it felt like everything that could have gone wrong during our escrow did, and Sharon handled all of it like a pro. Sharon goes beyond professional courtesy and is a genuinely caring person who helped us get through the stress of selling while we were in the process of purchasing a home in another state. While we would not wish a complicated escrow on anyone, Sharon is who you want in your corner if things are not moving as smoothly as you would have hoped."
