Meet Our Team
Michael M. | Arlington, Ma
“Victoria and the rest of the team at
Santana Properties were a fantastic support team during my first home-buy- ing process. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and Victoria made herself available, no matter the time, to help clarify questions and make sure every- thing ran smoothly. Even afer closing, she has made herself available to answer
- questions. I would highly recommend
Victoria and Santana Properties.”
“We met Victoria at an open house in 2016 and were impressed by her knowledge of the Boston real estate market. She was extremely patient with us and made an effort to understand our require-
- ments. When we decided to resume our home search in early 2017, we selected Victoria as an agent.
She clearly explained the home buying process and went over the timelines and the various price-value options with us. She was instrumental in providing us new construction options at our price point, which set her apart from the other agents we had met before. When the time arrived to make an offer, she was efficient and decisive and helped us get our offer accepted on our first try. Moreover, she continued supporting us even afer the home was closed. My wife and I will abso- lutely recommend Victoria to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Greater Boston area. Her experience, work ethic and personable nature made the home buying experience a pleasant one.” Vikram S - Watertown, Ma “Victoria is everything one could ask for in a real estate agent. Highly knowledgeable about Boston / Somerville neighborhoods, she responds promptly to any and all questions and communications (email, texts etc.) and writes up paperwork faster than what should be humanly possible. We were able to get market research and offers to the sellers in what seemed like real time and ultimately snagged a great condo in a great location. Thanks Victoria!” Mark D – Cambridge, Ma “Victoria is an exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and diligent buyer's agent. She always gave critical advice and information during decision making (i.e. cost on potential repairs and re-model- ing, timely CMA reports and etc), which helped us to look at the houses from a different perspective when we were being emotional home-buyers. In addition, Victoria also took time to educate my husband and I as first-time home buyers and made sure that she understands our needs clearly. Most importantly, She was also on top of the communication during the entire buying process in an
- ptimistic manner and it made the buying experience less stressful. We are extremely happy with
- ur new home, and thus highly recommend Victoria!”
Sylvia C – Somerville, Ma “Victoria is such a wonderful person and so good at her job ! We are so happy we had through this process she always got back to me no mater what time it was! Victoria you're as good as it gets.” The Navarro Family – Lynn, Ma

“We met Victoria when she was hosting an open house. Months later when we got back in touch, she remembered every detail about what we were looking for from that first 15 minute conversation. She was always available when we wanted to see a property with her and responded quickly to every email we sent. She found us our dream house at a very fair price, patiently explained the buying process, and fought hard for us when complications arose. I would recommend Victoria in a heart-
- beat. I feel so luckily to have met and worked with her.”
David K – Somerville, Ma “I just read the rest of the rave reviews and I must say I don't have anything terribly new to add here: Just like the others, our experience with Victoria was absolutely flawless and a real pleasure. In a long and complex road to purchase that has many points of potential failure (or at least missteps) Victoria was an island of stability, confidence and good, sensible guidance. Unlike some others, we are not first time buyers (we were buying an investment property in Somerville) and have had plenty of less-than-stellar experiences with other realtors. So when we were referred to Victoria by a friend whose in-laws had bought their home through her, we had good benchmarks to evaluate Victoria
- against. You know how the test turned out - in two words, she is prety special. In short order, the
traits in her that we really appreciated and benefited hugely from: 1). She is unfailingly prompt and complete in her responses. I can't tell you how rare and helpful this trait alone is. We are all busy, and don't have the patience to wait around. 2). She really seems to "get" you right away. We are not *that* weird, but I imagine everyone's expectations are different. She certainly zoned in in our likes right away - price points, neighborhoods, conditions, etc. 3). Absolutely fantastic referrals for other services - lender, lawyer, inspector, rental realtor, handyman - we got them all from her, and (you guessed it) they were all really excellent and professional. It did not take us long to figure out that the easiest, most efficient path to completing the transaction was go with her referrals, and yeah, we were right. If you are reading up to this, my humble advice is to go with her suggestions. 4). Her team is very organized in reminding you about all the (many) steps to be completed and the time- lines involved. 5). Did I mention she was prompt? 6). She does not push her own preferences on you and is careful to point out pros and cons even for properties that she clearly did not think were great choices :-) 7). She's also just a very pleasant person, without being overbearing or standoffish. Just a great pro who seems to really enjoy what she's doing and is most assuredly very good at it. Enjoy having Victoria as your agent! I can't see how you could go wrong.” Badri R – Somerville, Ma

“Victoria helped my husband and I buy our perfect family home in a very tricky market. Anyone buying in the Boston area knows it's a crazy market right now but Victoria kept us calm and focused. She made the process fun, was super easy to get in contact with and even held our baby boy while we initialed away at our closing. Victoria knows her stuff and if she's not 100% on an answer to a question she has a trustworthy contact to lean on. She's highly recommended. We are so thankful to her for finding our family forever home.” Kristen – Medford, Ma “Victoria exceeded our expectations in every way and we LOVED working with her! She just helped my husband and I buy our first home in Arlington, MA. Since we were first-time homebuyers, she started by siting us down in her office and walking us through the entire process of buying a house, which really helped prepare us for what to expect. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Great- er Boston area markets and was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the time we worked with her. She always seemed to know about listings before they came on the market and would meet us at any time of day in rainy or snowy weather, just to see a property. She really listened to our priorities and picked up on our taste early on, and would only send us properties that aligned with our vision. She made the home buying process as easy on us as it could've been and we cannot recommend her highly enough!” Stephanie H – Arlington, Ma “It's taken us a couple of months to write this review since we've been so busy setling into our new home, which we couldn't have done without Victoria! She was so helpful guiding us through the purchase of our first home and was extremely patient with our specific needs and questions :). She understood our point of view and helped us weigh the pros and cons of each property we viewed until we found the one. We can't imagine being anywhere else and are grateful we had such a great person to help us find the home of our dreams!” Emily W - Waltham, Ma

“I recently worked with Victoria on a purchase of my first home...a condo in Medford, MA. Victoria was such a great resource and so responsive from the first showing all the way through finding the right place and walking through every step of the process in such great detail. Her and her team of resources at Santana as well as their legal partners, were a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home. Victoria was always on top of everything and helped work through a number of complicated things that came up along the way, she is a true problem solver and such a great resource to have during what has been my largest and most important purchase to
- date. Aside from her professionalism, she is just a great all around person and I have no doubts that
your experience with her will be just as positive as mine. Thanks Victoria!” Ryan D – Medford, Ma “We had a bit of a bumpy ride with the seller (a developer) not being able to get the legal paper- work on time for the closing. Victoria and her team were very diligent throughout the process and were able to get us into our home before our rental lease ran out. This was a unique experience for everyone involved and the average real estate agent would not have been aware or able to weave thorough such an unexpected issue that come up. Victoria certainly stepped up and rallied through the process in a very efficient and professional manner. We are extremely grateful for the work she did!” Travis D – Somerville, Ma
