Carlisle Group Boston Real Estate is a Newbury Street brokerage built around a roster of named agents, and one shows up more than any other: Amy, usually working alongside Maia or Lauren, described across dozens of reviews as someone clients come back to a second and third time. The firm holds an active Massachusetts real estate broker license, and reviewers describe work across the full range of a broker's job — first-time home purchases, sales, rentals, and ongoing property management follow-up — throughout Boston and the surrounding suburbs. On Google, Carlisle holds a 5★ average across 95 ratings, and the written record backs it up: 91 reviews dating back to 2022, five of them in the last six months and none negative. Recent buyers describe Deacon Swift walking them through their first purchase end to end, including recommendations for a lender and inspector, and staying an active resource well past closing. Amy draws a similar pattern going back years: in a 2023 review, one client credited her team with following up to make sure they were properly settled well after closing. Other named agents carry their own track record in the reviews. Kailyn Ferrara and the pairing of Emily and Simone are repeatedly credited with handling both sales and rentals, including one reviewer who called a sale complicated by city issues one they "couldn't have handled without Kailyn." A 2022 review described Mandi sending new listings within minutes of them going live during a search that ran from December to a June close. There's nothing to flag before calling — no pricing complaints, no responsiveness gaps, and no negative reviews turn up anywhere in the record. For a Boston-area purchase, sale, or rental, the reviews point to asking for Amy, Deacon Swift, or Kailyn Ferrara by name — though every agent named here draws the same kind of detailed, repeat-client praise.
Buying or selling a property can be such a daunting experience, especially if it's your firs time! There are so many bases to cover and deadlines to meet, but know that you'll be at ease with the Carlisle Group! I've had the pleasure of working with Amy and her team and they are simply amazing!

Amy, along with her team communicates openly and are always working to stay ahead of any deadlines. The whole process from start to finish is always seamless and I highly recommend them!
Amy and Maia were awesome to work with and quickly found me a great new home. They were professional, responsive, and ensured the entire process was seamless. I would highly recommend them.
As a professional sports family we understand the value of having the best people around you to be successful. You want Amy captaining your team plain and simple. She has earned the reputation as a bulldog in the real estate world in Boston because she always advocates for her clients. Amy has been our realtor for our last three sales and purchases and even though there were outside complications with this latest move, Amy, alongside her phenomenal lawyer David Cuttler, were able to step in and negotiate with the third party to get us into our new home without undo stress for us. We moved outside the city but there was never a moment’s hesitation from Amy or her team to make themselves available to answer a question or concern or to take us to see a listing last minute. Amy’s team is first class when it comes to getting your home ready for market, presenting it with distinction with the photoshoot and obtaining maximum exposure. Amy is seasoned, professional and knowledgeable with the closing process as well which affords you the assurance of everything being as it should. This is our real estate dream team and it has been proven multiple times that Amy is an agent who can be trusted to go above and beyond for you every step of the way. Krissy and Chris Kelly
We met Deacon Swift by chance last May and ended up working with him for almost a full year while we figured out where we wanted to buy. He stuck with us through the entire process, including when we pivoted from looking in the city to ultimately buying in the suburbs. He was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about us ending up in the right place. He spent time talking through the pros and cons of different homes and always made sure we were thinking about what would be best for us long term, not just the immediate decision. As first time home buyers, the process felt overwhelming at times, but Deacon was there for us every step of the way and guided us through our first closing with so much care and support. We are so grateful to have had him in our corner and truly could not recommend him more.
My husband and I worked with Deacon to buy our first home! He was so helpful throughout the whole process. He was very communicative, answered all of our questions, and had great recommendations for a lender, inspector, and more. He made the process as easy as it can be and we would definitely recommend working with him in your real estate search!
