""I can not say the words to explain how Catherine Zerba helped us through the entire process of home buying. It went so smoothly and we were able to find the right house that is perfect for us.

"I would recommend Catherine as a REALTOR® to any of my friends or family. Her real estate knowledge, courtesy and professionalism, returning of my calls and emails, and understanding of our needs was outstanding. She kept us informed throughout the process.
Both Catherine and the office staff bent over backwards to accommodate all of our needs. Based on all home selling/buying hearsay this agency and particularly Catherine went out of their way to accommodate our needs. - August 2011" back to top

"I rarely have the opportunity to give the highest recommendations, but my wife and I have no reservations providing one for Catherine Zerba.
From the first house we looked at to our closing, Catherine was the kindest and most attentive agent we could imagine. She went above and beyond on so many occasions and really made our home purchase about as stress free as possible. It was almost too easy!
If anyone is looking to buy or sell, I'd suggest you strongly consider engaging Catherine on your behalf. You will be well served and you can thank me later ;-)
Thanks to Catherine Zerba for making our dream come true!! EVERYTHING we wanted and more!!

"Catherine Zerba is the most professional Realtor that I have ever had the pleasure of working with on the sale of any of my homes. Catherine's attention to detail, calm and pleasant personality, and her outstanding knowledge of the real estate process made the process bearable. I truly felt that I had an advocate who cared about my well-being, which went well beyond listing and
selling the house.

"Catherine was a real life saver. I needed to sell and buy a new house in a limited time frame. This was a very anxious process for me. If I didnt have Catherine Im not sure I would have been able to get through it. From the minute I met her I was impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm for her job. However, she was still personal in her interactions with me and knew the stress I was under. She went above and beyond what I ever expected from a realtor. I have had other realtors in the past and Catherine is far and away the best I have seen. She took care of everything and was always there to answer any questions I had no matter what time of day or night. From the biggest issue to the smallest detail, Catherine left no stone unturned and was a true comfort to me during this stressful process. My only regret is that I didnt contact her sooner! - March 2011" back to top

"We have been completely satisfied with Catherine's services. She is not an agent that lists your home and sits back and waits for something to happen. Catherine is very thorough, does the research, chases leads, puts time and effort into getting the house ready to show like something from a magazine which is something most Realtors don't do. She was in constant contact with us throughout the whole process and a pleasure to work with. - December 2010" back to top

"Catherine Zerba is a very accomplished and successful business woman. Catherine is the most professional REALTOR I have ever dealt with. She puts confidentiality at the top of her priorities and her marketing qualities are very strong. Catherine is very creative which sets her marketing qualities high above her competition. Her advertising and photographs are very high quality and she does a tremendous job with staging a home. Catherine is also extremely customer focused and her customer service skills are superb. She is completely thorough, detail oriented and informative. She is always punctual. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone considering purchasing or selling a home based on my professional experience with her as she made what I considered a very difficult experience to be a stress-free, enjoyable and professional experience

"I just wanted to let you know you are in my permanent address book:) I will be referring you to anyone I know who is looking for a superb real-estate agent. You are truly a master at what you do. I've dealt with many over the years and have never seen ANYONE as dedicated and communicative as you are. - February 2009" back to top

"Catherine Zerba was the perfect real estate agent. We worked with her in the sale of our house in Atkinson and also in the purchasing of a condo in Atkinson 15 months later. She understands how to plan the sale of a house and how to market the property. Most of all, she understood why we were selling and what we were looking for in the future.
She not only understands the mechanics of a sale, but she was always sensitive to the emotional side of selling a home we had built and lived in for 19 years. She always had time to respond to the smallest questions that we could come up with and nothing was too trivial for her to spend time on.
In purchasing the condo, she understood our emotions about downsizing and what was important to us while making sure that we had enough space for our family to visit. She found us the perfect condo in the location that we wanted after a great deal of hard work and searching in a less than perfect economy.
We have many years of experience in overseeing a large sales force in our own business and would have been proud to have Catherine on our team. She is one of the finest people we have ever worked with. We would recommend Catherine to anyone who is buying or selling a home in the area.

"Catherine,
You never cease to amaze me with the amount of phone calls and emails to keep me informed every step of the way. Your strategies, persistence, and project management helped to make this purchase a reality. What started out as a nightmare on rough seas soon turned into clear smooth sailing. I can't thank you enough for the high level of service you've always provided.

"We recently completed two residential real estate transactions with The Masiello Group, the purchase of a home in New Hampshire and the sale of a home in Massachusetts. I want to tell you how impressed we were with our agent, Catherine Zerba of the Masiello office in Atkinson, NH.
We met Catherine in 2005 near the beginning of our home search. Her professional manner, pleasant demeanor and strong knowledge of the local market appealed to us and we decided to work with her exclusively to purchase a home.
We were nightmare customers for any broker - Catherine has shown us DOZENS of homes over the past three and a half years and has handled offers on at least five. She met us at each showing with detailed information about the home and even watched our children on many occasions as we took a second look through the property. She provided meticulously-prepared market analysis for every property we were serious about purchasing, always taking the time to explain her methods and provide an explanation of her conclusions; Between her career, family and activities in the local community, Catherine is undoubtedly an extremely busy person yet she always made us feel as though we were her only customers. She gently nudged us along when we were ready to give up on our search for the perfect house and we are deeply grateful for her patience, determination and expert guidance in the purchase of our new home.
We purchased our new home at the end of August 2008 and arranged to list our previous residence with Ms. Zerba in mid-September. Catherine presented a top-notch marketing plan, competitive market analysis and listing proposal. At her own expense, she arranged for a staging consultant to visit our home and provide a prioritized list of low-cost cosmetic improvements recommended to showcase our property.
When a similar property went up for sale on the same street for less money within a day of our listing, Catherine compiled a detailed justification of our asking price compared to this competition. She accompanied all showings and often stopped by the home to open/close windows, turn on/off lights, inflate air beds and assess the inside and outside appearance. She provided detailed showing feedback, web page-hit statistics and market updates and was in daily contact during the entire process.
Her (and our) efforts were rewarded with several offers within the first several weeks. When two sequential offers fell through during the height of the banking crisis, she worked to re-engage a potential buyer who had shown interest weeks earlier, and secured a non-contingent, solidly-financed contract to purchase at a very favorable price. Total days on market ? 41, and this when comparable properties at similar asking prices were active for many months.
I can't begin to detail all of the things that she has done to make this journey such a pleasure for our family, but we will be forever thankful for her efforts, advocacy and friendship.
Sincerely,
Christian Arcidiacono
