Anna Budai-Louf works the North Shore out of Toner Real Estate in Lynn, and the through-line across nine reviews is the same word: first-time buyer. Five of the accounts on file describe someone navigating their very first purchase, and Anna is the one who kept walking them through it. In a September 2025 review, an out-of-state couple new to Massachusetts said she connected them with lender and down-payment programs, ran comparative analysis on homes, and stayed in touch past closing. In another review from that summer, a first-time buyer described a two-month search where Anna was quick to return every call, text and email and helped navigate an escalation clause on the condo they ended up winning. And at open houses, a client wrote in a July 2025 review, she was fast to spot the kind of problem areas and flipper fixes an untrained eye would miss, connecting them to vetted local contractors and inspectors for what came after. She's not only for first-timers. A client working with her a second time, in a July 2025 review, said she once again exceeded their expectations, and in the most recent review on file, from April 2026, a couple who both bought and sold with her said the deal ran longer than planned but they never felt rushed along the way. Her Google page shows a five-star rating from ten ratings. On her site she says she's a licensed Massachusetts real estate agent, operating under Toner Real Estate after learning the business alongside Colleen Toner, and covers Lynn, Peabody, Salem, Beverly and the rest of the North Shore. Nothing in the reviews raises a concern. She's a strong call for a first-time buyer who wants hand-holding through financing and negotiation, or a North Shore seller comfortable with a solo agent rather than a large team.
Anna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us both buy and sell. The process took a lot longer than expected, and we never felt like we were rushed. Anna was knowledgeable about the area and the real estate processes. She was always extremely quick to respond to any of our messages. We wouldn't hesitate to use Anna in the future or to recommend her to anyone else.
Anna is a rockstar! My husband and I were first time homebuyers relatively new to the MA area, from out of state. Anna helped us find great programs through her many connections and was able to help us find the lender that fit best with our needs. She was so kind and patient and understanding of our needs, and wants in a home, and she helped us find the perfect fit. She sent homes our way, and was able to schedule showings, do amazing comparative analysis for us and help us to understand all the ins and outs of the process. While we are staying put in our new home for a while, she is our first choice when we do decide it’s time to upgrade. You can’t go wrong hiring her!
Anna was fantastic! As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She made the entire process easy to understand, always kept us informed, and was quick to respond whenever we had questions. Her calm and supportive approach gave us confidence every step of the way. We’re so grateful for her help in finding our new home, and when the time comes to sell or buy again, Anna will be the first person we call. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
It was a pleasure to work with Anna. She is easy going and approachable. Anna is experienced and knowledgeable in the field. She is also reliable and always ready to help. I would recommend Anna to anyone that is looking for a realtor!
This was our second time working with Anna Budai-Louf from Toner Realtor, and once again, she exceeded our expectations. Anna is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always made herself available to answer our questions and address any concerns. We truly felt that she had our best interests at heart every step of the way—never pressuring us and always providing thoughtful guidance. Working with Anna is a pleasure; she’s not only a fantastic realtor but also a genuinely kind and amazing person. We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her again!
