My boyfriend and I recently bought our first home together in February, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Jill!

She was incredibly patient, answering every question we had and making sure we felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and exciting. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares and stays involved from start to finish, we highly recommend Jill!!

We just closed on the sale of our home with Jill Re and East Key Realty, we had a very specific deadline and she stayed on top of the process the whole time making sure all happened on time and as planned.

Working with Jill during the recent closing at 30 Central Street, Farmington, NH—her professionalism, kindness, and willingness to step in and go the extra mile made all the difference—not just for my client but for me as well. From the very first showing, Jill stepped in to guide my client when I couldn’t be there. Her ability to connect with people and provide a seamless experience was evident right away. Jill’s consistent communication kept everything running smoothly too. There was never a moment when anyone felt out of the loop. She approaches her work with courage, care, and determination that inspires confidence in everyone around her. Through hard work and unwavering commitment, Jill turns big dreams into reality. I can’t recommend Jill enough. She’s a true professional, a team player, and I look forward to crossing paths with her on future deals! ? Thank you, Jill, for being amazing!

- Marc L

If you are looking to purchase or sell a home, Jill Colby-Re is the realtor you will want to make the purchase or sale a reality! Jill was nothing short of stellar in her work to finalize the purchase of my new home. She did an outstanding job across the board--working with the listing realtor, the co-op association involved in the sale, and with me. She got me in to see multiple listings promptly, helped me through every transaction, and went out of her way to ensure that every step of the sale went smoothly. I am forever grateful that she was the realtor I chose as she made the sale possible. I can't recommend her enough!

- Laurel L

Jill is a pleasure to work with! She responds promptly, listens to my concerns, and always follows up with information and answers to my questions. She definitely makes a stressful period of buying and selling properties organized, manageable and feeling like you have a professional ally on your side. Thank you, Jill, for all that you do!

- Yvonne K

I cannot put into words how grateful I am that I met Jill 5 years ago. I stumbled upon a townhouse that I found on Zillow and was just planning on checking out the open house and not actually buying. I fell in love with the place and the listing agent introduced me to Jill. I had never purchased a home before, and she was able to help me every step of the way. Fast forward 5 years and I decided to sell the townhouse. I knew exactly who to call as Jill had kept in touch with me throughout the years. Jill knew I wanted a quick sale and was able to keep the process moving without a hitch. She kept in touch with me regularly and just made everything so easy. I would recommend her to everyone as she is just extremely kind and knows the real estate industry so well. Glad to have made a friend through this process and look forward to working with her again when I decide to purchase another home!

- Deanna S

Jill was excellent to work with, knowledgeable, resourceful, and compassionate. The best realtor we have worked with by far. I highly recommend her to anyone in the NH, MA, area that are looking to purchase a home!

- Jonathan B

Jill is fantastic! She was with me throughout the full process, researched information, supported me with financing, and negotiated a lower price and better closing dates. I recommend her unconditionally!

- Jessica O

Jill is THE BEST. She was on top of every detail and, in addition, negotiated a lower price to cover replacement of items within the condo. I recommend her unconditionally!!!

- Lyralen K

If you are looking for THE BEST realtor then LOOK NO FURTHER, Jill is your girl! She was on top of everything from the moment we first spoke to the very last day. Jill was honest, and straight forward, communicative, prompt, and knowledgeable. We will be working with her again.

- Kilo C

I want to wholeheartedly thank Jill Colby-Re for helping me sell my house in Swampscott Mass. She put much effort traveling between New Hampshire and Mass, meeting with clients, spending her time on weekends, and guiding me towards legal advice. I also credit her for working with my daughters and son-in-law, by helping us with real estate issues, and helping them look for property in New Hampshire. Jill is a first-rate sales agent, with great personality, and I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring her service and expertise.'

- Don K

Jill is fantastic! She did an amazing job helping us with the entire process of buying our New Hampshire home from start to finish. We had to coordinate our purchase with the sale of our previous home along with navigating some life changes, and Jill worked with our specific needs and timetable the whole way. One reason we enjoyed working with Jill is that she is honest. When we saw a property we liked, she made it a point to be transparent with us about how we should proceed and gave us all the information we needed to allow us to make the decisions ourselves that were best for us. She is also excellent at speaking plainly to help us navigate the complexities of the transaction. Jill cared about whether we would be happy with whatever home we ended up purchasing. She is also so pleasant, professional, and approachable. We could call or text Jill at any time and she was so responsive and helpful anytime we needed which was very important to us. I highly recommend Jill!

- Steve M

Jill was great to work with, she makes the house buying process so easy and stress free, we couldn’t be happier with how Jill helped us out through this whole process!!

- Tyler W

Jill helped me buy my first home and she truly made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible! As a first-time homebuyer I had a ton of questions and needed someone who would help me throughout the process and Jill did just that. She always answered my questions quickly and made things clear. I couldn’t have done this without her! She had so many resources and connections in the business as well. I recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a home to contact Jill. I was moving from MA to NH, and it helped that she services both states. Thank you again Jill for helping me find the perfect home!

- Jacob K

10/10 recommend Jill! She is super professional, highly responsive, and easy to work with. It was great working with her during our entire home buying process. She made it easy and fun, always available to take us to open houses and understood what we were looking for in a new home. We can’t thank her enough for all her hard work in getting us our dream home in NH. It was truly a pleasure working with Jill. Thank you!

- Kristen M

I was introduced to Jill blindly by a mortgage lender I was working with. I was told picking your agent is one of the most important decisions when it comes to buying a property. Until this day I would say I made the best decision by contacting Jill. She is very knowledgeable and informative. She made the process very smooth and easy. Jill is also very attentive. If I needed her day or night, she is reachable and is very quick to respond back. After closing she still reached out periodically just to checkup which is very thoughtful of her. After living in my new home for a little over a year, I decided to put my home on the market. I knew exactly who to call to help me sell my first home. The process of selling a home isn’t easy and was quite stressful but having Jill by my side was reassuring. Everything with Jill felt like a breeze. She has a lot of contacts/connections. I enjoyed working with Jill and would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!

- Phalna H

Jill went all-out during the crazy pre-holiday period to help us find the perfect home. She was knowledgeable of both NH and northeast MA markets, personable, caring, and smart in helping us negotiate our best deal as buyers in a seller's market.

- Lianne M

Jill was a top-notch Realtor. She was very knowledgeable, professional and always willing to do the work! She comes with the highest of recommendations from someone who knows a thing or two about buying and selling real estate, as I was a realtor for many years myself!

- Kathy M

Jill is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. She takes the time to understand what you are looking for. She is very responsive, courteous and communicates with you throughout the whole process. Highly recommend Jill!

- Ronna H

Working with Jill was great! She was available when I needed her and always provided me with information when I wasn't sure of something. She never made me feel pressured to make offers and let me know if something was fair or not. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing help finding a home.

- Allegra M

Jill is the best realtor you will ever find. She is down to earth and she really listens. Not only she helped me buy my first home. Two years after she help me sell it and buy my dream home for the second time. Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task with how strong the market was. Jill is very professional as well as personal and very flexible. I was in a lot of stress and as a realtor she was an excellent support system. ANYTIME there was a house I wanted to see Jill moved fast as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped me obtain the house of my dreams. Jill was amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or selling a home, you won’t regret it.

- Nirka L

I can't say enough good things about Jill. She is knowledgeable, personable, a good listener, responsive, pro-active, communicative. From beginning to end I knew she had my best interest in mind. She also has a wonderful network of business partners to work with, if you choose. As a first-time home buyer, being able to utilize this network of services was very helpful. I highly recommend Jill!

- Paula M

Working with Jill on my first home purchase exceeded all my expectations. I entered the process with very limited knowledge, and she felt like an advocate from home tour to closing. She answered all my questions, responded promptly, and stayed on top of the millions of little details that come with the home-buying process. During both the tour and the inspection, she was very engaged and seemed truly interested in making sure that I was happy with my home purchase. On top of that, she was very down to earth and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend working with her!

- Tania A

Jill was such a pleasure to work with! She is super sweet and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She guided me through the entire home buying process from start to finish. It was such a stress-free experience for something I thought for sure would be over whelming. She got answers to questions I didn't even realize I had, always answered calls, texts and emails promptly, and made sure I was comfortable with all information before moving forward with anything.

- Michelle D

I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking to purchase a home - both first time home buyers and experienced buyers. Jill’s positive demeanor and professionalism make for a fantastic experience overall. She helped us look for a home all throughout the North Shore for months. Her knowledge of the area was critical in helping us find the right property in the right place for our family - we viewed condominiums and houses. She listened intently to everything we were looking for - and never pushed a sale or rushed a decision in any way. She let us take our time and let us know it was always okay to keep looking if something didn’t quite fit! She advocated for us strongly when we needed to negotiate. We were first time home buyers and at no point did we feel overwhelmed with the process or confused - Jill was clear and communicative, and able to educate us along the way (which was extremely helpful since we knew very little going in!) She is thoughtful and always puts her clients first.

- Ashley W

Working with Jill and her husband Jason was the best experience. Jill is a professional and will do whatever she needs to do to make the process of selling your house as stress free as she can. She’s a hard worker and I will not hesitate in hiring her again if I ever decide I want to purchase a new home. Five stars!

- Jon W

Jill is great and she helped me with a lot of things I did not know. She was always on the lookout for our family. She is great on response time as well never leaves you waiting.

- Michelle D

Jill was a pleasure to have as my realtor. She is very professional, attentive to detail and caring. I just bought a home and moved in. I had the most positive experience with her. I felt she had my daughter and my best interest at all times. Jill was a dream to work with. I am so pleased with Jill service I would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home!!

- K S

It has been a week since we moved into our new home, and I can't say thank you enough to our agent Jill Colby-Re. As a first-time home buyer, we went to an open house a few months back not ready to buy but my wife and Jill clicked right away. Jill knew the home was above what we wanted to spend and she even showed my wife some properties she wasn't even an agent on in our price range during the open house. A month later when we were ready my wife demanded I call Jill to see if she would be our agent and 6 weeks later, we moved into a new home. I wouldn't say my situation was easy, but Jill worked diligently with the seller's side, and we got to the finish line. The best news was we closed on time! Not only will she be the first call we make if we need a realtor, but truth is also we hope to now consider Jill a friend. Thanks again!
