60 Royalston Rd in Wellesley Listed for $1,800,000 Sold in Two Weeks for $1,790,000 “In a difficult market, we didn't expect to sell our home of twenty plus years in less than 2 weeks, but we did! The underlying reason for the quick and painless sale was the professional and thorough approach to marketing our property employed by Mike and Jim Palmer, two brothers who own Commonwealth Estates.
The Palmers honed their marketing skills while working for major corporations. This expereince-based knowledge applied to real estate yielded a superior multi-tiered marketing plan. It led to immediate broad exposure of our home to several distinct buyer groups. Our property included an acre of land and that was highlighted through an open house inviting brokers to walk the land. Accompanying this were plans for a beautiful new high end home to be built on the property. A second approach presented our house but with multiple options to expand it in dramatic ways. These approaches were supported by high quality architectural plans and renderings as well as an audio visual tour of our house available on the internet and as a DVD. The third option was our house "as is". By attracting buyers from the 1.8 to 6 million dollar range we had immediate interest at multiple levels. From listing to moving day was less than two months.
We strongly recommend the Palmers and Commonwealth Estates for anyone looking to cut through the lengthy real estate process and buy or sell in this market.” -- Sincerely, Maureen and Bob Lesuer

Listed for $989,900 Sold in 60 Days for $965,000 “Dear Mike. We are most happy to say that the services you and your brother Jim rendered to us in the sale of our Dover home were professional, helpful and imaginative. Your unique and creative approaches to marketing aided greatly in a swift sale of our property. In a slow real estate market, we received competing and acceptable offers in just over 60 days. We have no doubt but that your expertise in remodeling and renovating aided greatly in our sale. Having prepared drawings of possible changes and configurations in advance of showings was something that had not been suggested nor offered by any other broker we interviewed. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf and we wish you well in your continued real estate activities. Please fell free to use us as a recommendation with other clients.” -- Sincerely, Dana Hastings 30 Wachusett Road in Wellesley Sold in the First Showing to One of Our Many Builder Contacts for $2,150,000 “Dear Michael. I wanted to take a minute and drop you a line to thank you for the help you gave me in marketing our home in Wellesley. I know that this last half of the year has not been a strong real estate market, but despite the environment, you came through. I think that you brought a differentiated professional approach to the project and combined that with an intimate knowledge of the local market. I was pleased that we talked through several diverse options and approaches rather than just the usual real estate agency model.
In the end you helped me sell for top dollar in a very difficult market. Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciated it. If it is helpful for me to be a reference, please let me know.” -- David Morrison 
21 Wayland Hills in Wayland Listed for $599,000 Sold in a Bidding War for $615,800 “Dear Michael. Thank you for helping my mother sell her home for much more money than we all expected. The work you and your brother Jim did to help prospects understand and see the full potential of our home if it were updated was instrumental in bringing in multiple offers at the first open house. My mother was extremely nervous about selling her home after living in it and caring for it for over 40 years. Your professionalism made the experience easy on her and you even helped her with the transition to her new home. For that we are grateful.” -- Sincerely, John and Catherine Pandicio |
