"Charlene is the best out there! Responsive, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her experience not only with real estate, but the MetroWest area is unparalleled! She's made the process of house buying/selling significantly less stressful than it might otherwise be."
-Ian Barton, Client
"Charlene was fantastic to work with! We were navigating the process of purchasing a home before putting ours on the market, and are so glad to have landed someone like her who really knows the local Metrowest market. She knew exactly when we should list it, price point, etc that made the lift easy for us, and our timing couldn't have worked out any better! We were able to get our home under agreement in 1 week with a cash offer for over asking price! Charlene is personable, very quick to respond to question/concerns, and was able to give us GREAT tips for making our home look market ready that allowed us to keep costs reasonable as well at the same time. You can't go wrong working with someone like Charlene!"
-Sarah Donahue, Client
"Buying or selling a home is an extremely exciting yet stressful experience. Charlene will calmly guide and help you through the decision process.
Having an agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy and experienced is not only reassuring but profitable.
A good sales rep knows the value of happy customers and that is why Charlene is an award winning realtor.
"
-Anne and Jerry Hopper, Client
"Charlene and her team were an absolute dream to work with. She was on top of every question I had and every need that came up.
I had already relocated to a different state and Charlene went above and beyond to take care of all the little things that I was not able to present to take care of.
I would recommend her 110% for your home-selling needs. She takes a daunting, nerve-wracking experience and handles it with complete ease.
Thank you, Charlene!
"
-Seller of Saxony Road, Framingham, Client
"I wholeheartedly recommend Charlene, without any reservation, as a realtor on either the buy or sell side. Her in-depth knowledge, communication skills, and willingness to go the extra mile are without equal. She was instrumental in finding an estate sales expert to get our household contents organized and sold, then to get the house cleaned and staged, and finally to work through the complete sales process. My brothers and I, as sellers, are extremely pleased with the outcome and believe it was a win-win situation for everyone involved, thanks to Charlene. We will use her again on our next real estate endeavor."
-D. Greeley, Client
"Charlene is an outstanding realtor and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is trust-worthy, very knowlegable, and always accessible. She assisted my husband and I in buying a home in a very tough seller's market. We both have very different tastes and Charlene knew exactly how to reconcile that to find us the perfect home. She advised on every step of the way, from attending open houses to the closing process. Charlene was also our selling agent for our condo, and again she showed her expertise. We sold our condo within weeks of listing it, on exactly the terms we wanted. We couldn't ask for a better realtor!"
- Meera G., Client
"Charlene gets the job done! Not only did she sell my mom’s home, she was instrumental in helping us clear out almost 60 years of stuff. Her can-do attitude and knowledge of local resources was instrumental to our journey, which went very smoothly from offer to closing. You won’t find a more personable or knowledgeable real estate professional!
"
-Lisa Thompson, Client
"Charlene helped me buy my house 10 years ago, and just recently helped me sell the same house. In between those times she was always responsive to my questions over the years about renovations and resale value. She even visited several times to see the renovations and provide guidance. When it was finally time to sell it was an easy choice to use her again. On the buy side, she helped me deal with a difficult self-represented seller, and on the buy side got the house sold for way more than I was expecting even in this crazy market. Charlene has an incredible amount of hustle, and I highly recommend her for both buying and selling"
-Jordan H Bentley, Client
"Charlene goes above and beyond. Puts all your fears to rest! I've bought, sold and referred a few people to her and they've all loved her! I wouldn't trust anyone else to sell my home or buy another one! Depending on my mom we may be calling on her again soon! She's the best!"
-Kristen Foster, Client
"Real estate transactions can be a hair raising time. Charlene has tamed our experience of both buying and selling our family home, showed us numerous properties, and kept on top of all the paperwork involved in a timely, efficient and comprehensive way. We hope to move in a few years and she's the person we will call first!! We recommended her to our son and she did the same magic for him! Thanks Charlene. - Barbara Gatlin"
-Barbara Gatlin, Client
"I can speak to Charlene's skills in the real estate world "second-hand", as she has very ably helped several friends of mine with home selling and buying, and I have seen the results. But I can also speak first hand to her skills as an excellent communicator, a super diligent worker, a creative thinker, and a most caring and thoughtful person.
"
-Ellen Straus, Client
"Charlene has sold two properties that we had owned and we have recommended her to our friends and they have had the same results as us ...a professional that knows her job and the area very well. When our current home needs to be sold, she will be the first one called!"
-Tom V., Client
"If you’re looking to buy or sell in the Metrowest area, look no further than Charlene. Having grown up in Framingham and spending 40+ years in the industry, she has insight into the market and what the towns offer that other realtors just don’t have. Add that to her eye for detail and help with staging homes for better appeal to buyers, and you get a partner and advocate while on the journey to buy or sell a home that can’t be beaten.
Charlene helped me find and purchase my home 10 years ago. Her patience and tenacity were amazing. She listened carefully to what I was looking for and could afford, she helped me think out of the box a little bit, and she helped me navigate through all of the logistics. It was my first time buying a home all by myself and I sincerely don’t believe it would’ve gone as well as it did with anybody else. Call her, meet her for coffee or a glass of wine, have a conversation and my bet is you’ll sign her on before you both get up from the table. "
-Joanne Trask, Client
"Charlene is as close to perfect as it gets - empathetic, ethical, knowledgeable, effective. She knows the market in detail and had all the needed figures in hand. She was sensitive to the stresses of selling a 60-year family home. She chose a timing of sale that gave us the maximum opportunity on the market. She staged it beautifully, taking advantage of every feature. She was always available for questions and had quick, thorough answers at every stage. The move-out was much, much easier with her help than I ever dreamed possible. I recommend her firmly and enthusiastically. You will not get a better guide in buying or selling a home."
-Vicky M., Client
"Worked with Charlene twice. She's very experienced and knows the Western Mass well."
-SHUKANG L., Client
"Trying to sell a house can be stressful add a pandemic, well you can imagine. The best thing we ever did was have Charlene take on this challenge. Her knowledge of the market and the Metro West area was the main reason we went with her. Extremely satisfied with the open house process, staging was spot on, difficult covid requirements were followed and the sale and closing went smoothly. I highly recommend Charlene to sell or find you a home. She is always available for questions, and it is great to deal with a calm and pleasant person during this sometimes stressful process. Wish I had another house for her to sell"
-Brian and Michelle Garry, Client
"If you are looking to buy or sell, Charlene is your person!! She is kind, helpful and a wealth of knowledge. You can't go wrong with Charlene on your side??"
-Pam Harris, Client
"Charlene went more than above and beyond to help my sell my mother's home. From the first meeting, where she had done so much more research than other realtors we met with, to the staging process where she shocked me by actually rolling up her own sleeves and helping find recipients for so much of my mom's stuff, to the showing process and keeping me updated proactively and creatively coming up with new marketing ideas through the months it took us to find the right buyer, all the way through closing. I can't possibly recommend Charlene highly enough. She is a warm human being, a solid negotiator, and a very smart, thorough and complete businessperson. You will not regret working with Charlene. I am going to really miss the regular contact we had together."
-Lisa Kilborn, Client
"We want to thank you so much for all your help in guiding us through the process of preparing and selling our house. We felt from the start that you really understood what was so special about the old Four Winds livery stable, and that meant a lot to us, as we dearly loved living there for nearly 20 years. We hope the (buyers) enjoy it as much as we did. - Dan and Nancy"
-Dan Feldman, Client
"Charlene helped us put in an accepted offer in a very challenging market the very first weekend we toured houses! Her knowledge of the market and area helped us feel confident in the offer we made, and her guidance throughout the entire process made us feel stress-free! Charlene’s knowledge of the Framingham market and neighborhoods helped us not only to find the perfect house, but also to connect to local organizations and community."
-Hannah Richman Kearney, Client
"Charlene is a walking database of knowledge about the Framingham real-estate world. She helped us navigate the turbulent waters of the rock-filled housing river and helped us get to a spot where we could relax our knuckles on the oars and enjoy the view, and maybe even stop for a nice picnic.
"
-Chuck Matzer, Client
"Charlene is a truly dedicated real estate professional, who will do what it takes to get your property sold. From taking photographs of your property & using them to create professional brochures to giving homeowners helpful advice, she does it all. I listed a condo for sale with her a few years back & I will always remember that she held my open house on Mother’s Day! Knowing that she is a mother, I felt so guilty. But, it paid off. She sold my condo for almost twice what I paid for it!"
-James Sweeney, Client
"Charlene is hands down the best realtor out there! If you’re not using her you are making. Serious mistake. She’s always on top of everything, there are never any surprises. I have used her to sell one home, buy two and have referred her to friends of mine that were so thrilled with her! Her knowledge of the market, laws.. she kept in constant contact with me, via text, email, phone on a daily bases to let me know how things were going, what I had to do when. I’m not easy to work with as I’m SURE she’d agree! But she settled my nerves and made things go as smoothly as they could have gone. I recommend her to everyone I hear commenting about thinking of buying or selling. We needed her in Maine for a family home to sell, as she couldn’t sell in that state then it was the hardest sell I’ve ever been through. I was horrified! Charlene is 100% top shelf!"
-Krissy Foster, Client
"We had a 110% positive experience with Charlene Frary throughout the process of selling our condo and purchasing our single-family house! During the early months of the pandemic, Charlene helped us use our newfound time by giving us tips (using photographs and Zoom) on what we could do to maximize our eventual condo sale. She checked in with us sporadically throughout the year, never pushy but always available if we had questions as we got ready to sell. When the time came, she helped us get our condo on the market with fantastic marketing materials. Around the same time, we started looking for houses, and she helped us find just the right one. Selling and buying at the same time was definitely stressful, but Charlene held our hands and got us through. From our first contact through to closing and beyond, she was a true gem!"
-Juliana M., Client
"Make no mistake: Charlene is an absolute standout in every respect. She's very dedicated to her profession, her community and most of all- her clients. Charlene has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and insights that she brings to bear to each individual scenario.She always stays on top of the latest information, data, trends and strategies. She's the soul of integrity and an absolute delight to work with. Could not recommend more highly!

"Charlene helped our family buy and sell a home in Metro-West. She did a fantastic job in a very competitive market and really supported the process from start to finish. Great instincts and insight. We made a great choice and highly recommend Charlene."
-Adam B., Client
"Charlene has been both a buyer and seller realtor for us over the years. She helped us buy our first home in 2004 in Natick (a condo by the commuter rail station). Then in 2017 she helped us buy a home in West Natick so our kids wouldn’t have to change schools. After that she prepped our condo for us so that it sold within a couple of months of moving into the house. We had 5 offers within 10 hours of its initial listing (4 for cash!). We highly recommend her!"
-Michael Byrum, Client
"Charlene is a rockstar! We had the pleasure of working with her both as buyers, and many years later, as sellers. She is passionate about real estate and embodies a true service ethic. She went far above and beyond, helping us make decisions as we renovated our house that would improve its marketability, and referring top notch contractors, stagers and movers. She is a relationship person, and it’s clear that she has a very robust network in the MetroWest area, which she tapped into many times on our behalf. She gives more than she gets, and her service reflects the highest degree of professionalism, expertise, and creativity. On top of that, she’s a kind person and fun to work with. Thanks to her, we had a seamless buying and selling experience and could not have done better in both transactions. Simply, she’s the best. "
-Ashley, Client
"Charlene immediately saw the inherent beauty in our older family home. Her staging and marketing ideas were perfect. Terrific communication and follow through on every detail. She was an absolute joy to work with! "
-Debbie C, Client
"Charlene was extremely helpful in helping my wife and I find our first home. She was recommended by a friend of mine and she was fantastic. As first time homebuyers, we were a bit overwhelmed by the process. Charlene helped us narrow down and refine what we were looking for. She was very responsive throughout the process, answering our numerous questions. Since getting our home, we have continued our relationship with Charlene and she has helped us find a tenant to rent out one of our rooms. Overall, she is very knowledgeable and we look forward to working with her again in the future!"
-CJ, Client
"Charlene Frary really made the task of selling my home so much easier. She initially provided me with a comprehensive analysis of the current market, and helped me understand which projects would be worth undertaking before putting my home on the market. She was always very responsive, and helped with many tasks. My home eventually sold above the asking price, and was only on the market for one day. I really can't recommend Charlene enough!"
-Jennifer Havard, Client
"“Charlene Frary has earned my enthusiastic recommendation! A true “force of nature” Charlene’s guidance and hard work related to the sale of my house was extraordinary. I tremendously value and respect her expertise, depth of experience, and integrity as a top notch realty professional. Charlene is very organized and reliable. She is a high energy, creative thinker, who maintains a positive outlook and grounded perspective throughout the process. I could not have chosen better.
Thank you so very much, Charlene !! “ "

You are very knowledgeable about every aspect, and you are very patient and have a calm demeanor which makes everything about the process less stressful! I will continue to put your name out to anyone I know that's looking to buy or sell!!"
-Kristen Foster, Client
"Charlene is a consummate real estate professional with a deep knowledge of the greater Framingham/Metrowest Boston area. By the end of the first open house she held for our home, we had a solid offer in hand that ultimately closed at a price we were very satisfied with. She also worked with us to find our next home, paying close and patient attention to find a house that met our needs, which we found in our price range and target area. The entire process working with Charlene was smooth and worry-free. "
-Brett Peruzzi, Client
"Charlene smoothly helped my wife and I navigate a home sale and purchase, with closings on both properties happening on the same day. She was proactive in bringing new listings to us during our home search, and listened well to both our "must-haves" and "nice-to-haves."
Charlene offered an acute awareness of possible issues with homes, even before any home inspection took place, which made the actual home inspection process a bit easier to swallow!
Charlene also knew when to apply respectful pressure during negotiations to help both sides get to a "yes" outcome.
My wife and I would absolutely recommend Charlene as an agent to both home buyers or sellers in the MetroWest area.
