Here’s what our clients have to say:
“Matt and Shea as a team are as warm, vivacious, and sincere as they are astute and razor-sharp. We've used them to buy and sell, and each time they've made us feel confident and poised at every critical juncture.
They have a deep knowledge of real estate - they find solutions quickly while always giving the complex nature of things the attention they deserve. They really are the best realtors.”

“Working with Shea and Matt at Munson Realty was beyond a pleasant experience! They were both highly professional and guided us through the home selling and buying process with expert advice throughout the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Shea and Matt had great suggestions for prepping our home to sell and contacts with excellent contractors for home improvements. They had creative ideas for marketing and staging our home during unprecedented times and conditions, in which they sold our home within 5 days from listing well above our asking price.
They went above and beyond in every aspect of this challenging process and made it easy with checklists and timelines to allow us to hit every deadline without stress and anxiety. Their knowledge of the market, home construction, legal intricacies, and their network of contacts from contractors, to financing, to closing attorneys was invaluable. They were available at every turn immediately for every question we had.
On the purchase side, after looking at many homes, we were able to secure our ideal home and location before it hit the market. Perhaps most impressive to us was their ability to listen to our needs and the care and kindness in which they worked with us to achieve our goals. We did not know Shea and Matt prior to undertaking this journey and met them at an open house, now we consider them to be our true friends.After this entire outstanding experience I can honestly say with no disrespect to other Realtors, that if you do not choose Shea and Matt as your Realtors you will be missing out!”

“Working with Munson Realty Group was an all-around fantastic experience. From the start, they gave us the confidence and knowledge that we needed to move forward. We knew very little about the marketplace we were selling our condo in, and even less about the market that we were looking to buy in. Munson Realty provided all of the information that we needed on selling and buying in this competitive market.
They took on the difficult multitask of listing our condo in Brighton and helped us with our search for a home in the suburbs.We did not want to be in between homes for very long, so Munson Realty arranged for the closings to be within a few days so we were not displaced. This process was initially stressful for us, but we were in great hands with Munson Realty and everything went smoothly.
Munson Realty was very resourceful and suggested a great attorney to be there at closing. They worked terrifically with us, the attorney, as well the mortgage lender that we brought on after working with them years back when we bought our condo. Together they made a great team, and many people commented on how smooth and easy everything went.
I would absolutely recommend Munson Realty.They are professional, dedicated, confident, and unflappable. I could not imagine our process going any smoother than it did, all because of the hard work of Munson Realty.”
— Brian Scardino
“Shea and Matt at Munson Realty Group were my dream team. They expertly guided me through the process of selling my home. Their knowledge and professionalism was completely reassuring during the stressful time of selling and buying a home. They truly care about the people involved and go above and beyond. You will never feel like a transaction with them, but a friend.
I am so grateful to have had them as my agents, and I couldn't have made such an amazing life change without them. Loving my new house, and feeling great about who is in my old one. Thank you, Munson Realty Group!”
— Andrea Collins
“Matt and Shea did a fantastic job with the sale of our beloved antique colonial in Beverly. Never having sold a house before, we were very nervous and unsure what to expect given the fluctuating market conditions. They helped quell our doubts and made the process about as painless as we could have hoped for, and we were delighted with the number and quality of the offers we received. Great communication and follow up after the sale as well.”
“Munson Realty Group did an amazing job helping my husband and I buy our first home. From our first meeting, Matt and Shea made us feel comfortable and listened to, answering our many questions and explaining the house buying process from start to finish. Throughout our time working with them, we never felt condescended to or pressured towards certain properties.
Matt and Shea directed us to homes that matched our wishlist and our budget. If there was one we really liked, they were always available to tour it with us and often arranged for private showings. If we had questions about certain properties, they always followed through. It was clear they were knowledgeable about the market and realistic about listing prices. We could trust them to tell us what was what.
When we found a condo we loved, Munson Realty helped us make an offer that was competitive but still within our budget. We were thrilled when it was accepted over several others. Throughout the rest of the house-buying process, they continued to show exceptional care and professionalism. Watching Matt and Shea interact with other relators, it was also clear that they were known and respected by their peers.
We greatly enjoyed working with Munson Realty and love our new condo. The idea of buying a home had intimidated us, but Matt and Shea really helped make it a straightforward experience.”

“Shea and Matt are absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend and I as first-time homebuyers couldn’t be happier with their expertise and communication throughout the process of purchasing.
Shea and Matt helped one of our family members to sell her home and witnessing the care they put into their work made us decide to use them for our own house hunt. 10/10 Highly recommend them!!”
— Ally Bamford
“I am so happy to have found Shea and Matt. I am a first time home buyer and so lucky to have worked with such a nice, hard-working, organized agents. Both Matt and Shea assisted me throughout my search each step of the way.
They were so easy to work with and I appreciate all of their help throughout this process. My lender also commented that they were organized, proactive, and one of the best teams they’ve ever worked with as well. This experience was so seamless and easy and I owe it all to the hard work of Matt and Shea!
I will highly recommend them to anyone I know buying or selling in the future!”

“Munson Realty Group at Keller Williams recently just sold us our forever home and Katelyn and I cannot be happier. We are so fortunate to have had a great loan officer hook us up with such a dynamic duo. Matt and Shea, you truly could not have been any better during this process for us. We are so thankful for your engaging personalities, and passion for finding us our first home together.
During the first steps of this process, you find yourself searching “qualities to have in a real estate agent” and you two have exemplified all the qualities we have searched for. These two are client-motivated and proactive, to say the least.
Thank you guys for making the (numerous) minimum 1-hour commute for our showings, nothing went unnoticed, and wish you the most luck in your future endeavors.”
— C.J. McEachern
“What I found with Matt Munson and Shea Pilsbury, the dynamic duo of Keller Williams, in Beverly, MA, is that they are not only very capable and excellent at explaining things, they are also extremely kind and generous with their time and hands-on efforts. Everything felt much less overwhelming than it would otherwise.
The group of 5 other agents that we interviewed had far more experience as agents but were either difficult to understand or acted sort of self-important or were very nice and knowledgeable but... it was so extremely helpful to have an agent with a truck to help me move some of our furniture to storage or to donate to the assisted living home. Plus the people Matt and Shea suggested for house cleaning and the legal assistance were also very kind and easy to communicate with. We really worked well as a team. I plan to use them again when my husband’s parents leave their home. Even though it is more than an hour away from their office they have said they can do it.”
— Sharon Chait
“Matt and Shea were so wonderful to work with. Throughout the process of hunting for our first home, Matt was extremely transparent and my husband and I felt their team was truly looking out for our best interests. We were able to purchase a home under the asking price AND we didn’t have to waive a home inspection. We will recommend them to anyone!”
“Matt is absolutely AMAZING. He is unbelievably helpful, informative, responsive, and there for us throughout the process of buying our home. He is an exceptional agent - informed, responsive, and pays attention to details.
In today's market, it was critical to identify available homes and get appointments for viewings quickly. Matt’s 24/7 availability, patience, and willingness to provide constructive feedback was invaluable. He came to every showing with us and gave us great insight and feedback on every listing. Thank you for everything, Matt!”
— Gasmend Gashi
“Shea and Matt were incredibly helpful. My husband and I are first-time homebuyers, and we didn't really know much about how the process works. Shea and Matt walked us through everything we needed to know and answered every question we had. Throughout our year-long search, Shea was flexible, patient, and responsive.
When the pandemic hit, she organized socially-distant home tours and made sure we saw everything that we needed to see. To help keep us and the sellers safe, she put on gloves and opened doors for us at every home we looked at. She even gave us our very first reusable masks, which were very useful in the early days of the pandemic.
When we were ready to buy a home, Shea made the process as smooth as possible and took us every step of the way. She recommended an excellent real estate attorney, who was great to work with and quick to respond. Shea was a great conduit between everyone involved, talked us through everything we needed to do and guided us through uncertainties brought on by the pandemic.
For these reasons, we highly recommend Munson Realty. They were a joy to work with, and we are extremely grateful for all the hard work that they put in to help us find our first home. They truly went above and beyond to make our home buying process smoother, safer and less stressful.”

Matt Munson was a pleasure to work with, especially as a first time buyer. He eased all of the nerves and stress.
