"...My company relocated me to Boston from Michigan. My situation was such that I had to begin working immediately, 7 days a week. I had no time to waste. I was referred to Joe Wolvek, who is a very experienced broker... I was very confident that Joe was showing me the correct properties, and giving me all the market information I needed. When I purchased my new home, I felt very satisfied that I was buying the right unit for the right price...Joe provided me with excellent service, and I highly recommend him."
