Flora Chen Babij Realtor- Keller Williams Realty Showcase Properties

Keys in hand and a plumber on the line after work hours — the thing that keeps surfacing about Flora Chen Babij is that she shows up when a deal actually needs her. One tenant this April said she arrived with multiple sets of keys and then answered messages well past work hours to get them connected with the plumber. She works out of Keller Williams Realty Showcase Properties on Commercial Street in Braintree, and her Massachusetts real estate license is active. Rentals are where her recent work concentrates, and she plays both sides of them. A landlord renting out a property for the first time said in February that she took on the paperwork, listed the place, and had a tenant lined up quickly. Another owner that same month described her as current on the local rental market and quick to answer questions through the lease-up. From the tenant side, a June review called the rental process smooth and stress-free start to finish. She also works transactions. In March a buyer's agent — not a client, the agent on the other side of the deal — said things ran smoothly and that she stayed communicative and quick to respond throughout. Praise from a counterparty is worth more than it looks: agents spend their days cleaning up after each other. Her Google page carries a 5-star average across 37 ratings, and the written reviews stretch back several years, so this isn't a fresh profile propped up by a handful of friends. The tone is consistent rather than dramatic — responsive, organized, follows up — and a fair share of the notes are short and general, the kind people leave when nothing went wrong. Two things worth pinning down before you sign. Almost everything recent describes rentals and leasing, while her buy-and-sell work sits in the older stretch of her history — so if you're listing a home, ask her to walk you through sales she has closed lately rather than assuming the leasing volume carries over. And her ratings sit on a single platform, with no second, independent audience to weigh them against; ask for references from clients who were on the same side of the table you'll be on. If you're a landlord trying to fill a unit, a tenant working a tight rental market, or a first-time buyer who wants someone picking up the phone, she's a reasonable call. Confirm which side of the business she has been busiest with this year, and get the commission structure and her license status in writing before anything is signed.
