"Ms. Banani is the genuine article: a real estate agent's agent. She was instrumental in placing and selling our 2,000 square-foot high-end Marlborough Street penthouse when the market started to soften. She also gave me direct relevant advice when we sold a second South End penthouse condo in 2007, at the start of the real estate recession, even though we had already listed the condo with a different agency given a prior commitment.

Despite a marketplace filled with salespeople, Ms. Banani stands out as a low-key professional who thoroughly understands the property market and the people that make it work. We sincerely appreciated her interest in our property transactions and recommend her without reservation with our highest regards." March 30, 2010

James Li, MD,
First hired Lili as a Real Estate Agent in 2002

"I do not think there is another real estate agent in the entire city who can offer the expertise and intelligence that Lili so gracefully possesses. Dealing with her is a complete pleasure from start to finish, whether you are a buyer or a seller (and I've worked with her as both). She is a very special person who knows her industry inside and out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the greater Boston area." August 17, 2010

Sheila Flaherty,
hired Lili as a Real Estate Agent in 2003

"I was a first-time home buyer returning from an extended stay overseas when I was fortunate to meet Lili. With elegance, good humor, and fortitude, Lili educated me about Boston’s neighborhoods and saw me through an eight-month search for what I considered to be the perfect city condominium. In retrospect, I now realize I must have been a difficult client, given that my specific requirements for housing led us to view over 60 different properties during this period.

When we finally found what I had been looking for, Lili was there with me at every step of the home-buying process, right up to last-minute closing day anxieties. And, two years later, after I met my future husband and we decided to move out of state, Lili helped me to sell my perfect condo at the perfect price.

Professionally, I consider Lili an outstanding real estate specialist. Personally, I consider her a delightful person. Since my move, we’ve kept in touch simply because she’s great.

I highly recommend Lili as an experienced and highly personable real estate expert and wish her well in all of her future endeavors.” March 30, 2010

We have shared her name with friends and look forward to working with her again in the future." March 28, 2010
