As a first time home buyer, I needed much guidance and hand holding. Erin and Lauren made my journey easier and as effortless as it can be. Their knowledge and professionalism helped me find my perfect home. They were patient and intuitive, and assisted me in making the best decisions for my situation.

My boyfriend Shawn Corrigan and I have now rented with Higgins and Welch for over a year now with no complaints. Any issues (which were minimal) have been taken care of immediately. Our rental is beautiful and was for sure well kept. Always a smooth transaction with the office for payments and credits. Our landlord is Erin Thompson. I mention her as she particularly has been extremely accommodating, thoughtful and generous over the year. Couldn’t ask for a better landlord and look forward to staying!

After learning we needed to find a new location for our business, Ed and his team were great from start to finish in helping make this stressful process easier.

Very flexible to work around our schedule when showing us different properties. When we did find the location that was best, secured all of the paperwork needed and got us in quickly and seamlessly.
A pleasure to work with.

The thought of clearing out and listing our home of 38 years was overwhelming. Ed and team at Higgins and Welch were a God send. Their advice and encouragement from concept to close was spot on and result in a better than expected result. We could not have done it without them. Thanks Ed and team.
