Artemis Realty + Design - Roula Bakis

"My wife died just over a year ago. The home in Newton Mass that she and I lived in together since 1982 was recently put on the market. My step children and I interviewed more than a half dozen realtors. Roula [Bakis] impressed us all greatly. Her personal and down to earth approach was refreshing, while at the same time she was always a real professional. Roula's knowledge of the business and people was reassuring, as was her patience when we had moments of doubt. Not only did we get a fair price for the property but Roula proved to be a real friend in my efforts to get everything out of the house and into storage. I think it's accurate to say she was absolutely wonderful and I will be forever grateful. Paul Quain"

"Roula is simply put spectacular! She encompasses everything you expect and then some of a true professional. From her depth of knowledge in building fundamentals, aesthetics, ergonomic know how, to customer obsession, drive for results all wrapped up in a genuine heartwarming personality. She advised, supported and saw through our entire bathroom remodel project both in good and challenging times! We have her on speed dial:-) Thank you so much!"

"Roula was an excellent partner in our home buying journey! She helped us through a challenging market and helped us find our home. She is very knowledgeable and knows the Westwood, Walpole, and surrounding areas very well. Highly recommended!"

"Roula is truly amazing. She had my house under agreement after only three showings in which all prospective buyers submitted generous offers all in one weekend and I accepted an offer at well over 12% above the asking price. But, more importantly was the extreme pleasure and satisfaction of my interaction with Roula as a nervous seller in a challenging economy for many reasons. Roula, unlike any other realtor I have had in past purchases and sales, is a perfectionist and executes her selling process at such a high level. Words can't explain the pleasure I had in having the good fortune to have Roula as my agent .she is professional, super personable, extremely knowledgeable, very creative and forward thinking, proactive, and honest. My experience was well plotted out for me by Roula where I was well informed of everything that was happening at all times and she sacrificed her own personal time to visit me and discuss pertinent details and/or issues that needed attention. Roula truly treated me like family and it never seemed like a business transaction. Bottom line, Roula is a godsend and she will always be my realtor for life. I highly advise that any prospective buyer or seller reading this post should contact Roula at Artemis Realty + Design....so Roula, Thank You so much for transforming my stressful situation into literally something well beyond my wildest dreams....Happy Holidays to you , your team at Artemis and your family. Respectfully, Leo DiBenedetto"

"Roula was so wonderful in helping us find our new home. She was so patient as we went to many neighborhoods and open houses during the Covid housing market. She was always available for questions and insight. On top of helping us find our home, she also has a background in design. She was able to help us see the potential for the house we ended up buying. She even helped put us in touch with people that could help us with various jobs (redoing bathrooms etc.) Roula often took out her own personal time to go above and beyond to help us. For example, she was so helpful and helped us think of color schemes/ types of tiles to use etc when we were planning what we wanted. Her housing and design expertise are incredibly helpful. On top of all this, Roula is just an incredibly kind and wonderful person. I can't recommend her enough!"
