The Steven Cohen Team runs out of Keller Williams' South End office, and its state real estate broker license is active. The reviews read less like one agent's story and more like a roster: Kate Wood, Kevin Concannon, Josh Leibowitz, Joe Maiorana, Nicole Spencer and Steven Cohen himself all turn up repeatedly, each carrying a chunk of the team's buying, selling, and rental work across Boston, with the South End as the recurring center of gravity. The last six months brought a dozen new reviews and not one of them negative — a run that matches the deeper pattern across 140 reviews going back to 2021. Recent clients describe Kevin helping a renter through a few hurdles as a first-time foreign renter, Kate guiding a condo sale that needed real work before it was ready to list, and Nicole steering a South End condo through both the buy and the eventual sale. The track record goes back further than the recent run suggests. In a 2023 review, a trustee selling his late brother's forty-year South End brownstone described interviewing six agents before choosing Steven, calling him head and shoulders above the others. In a 2024 review, a family that had owned their two-family home for over 70 years credited Kevin Concannon with an asking-price strategy that drew multiple offers within three days of listing. And in a 2025 review, a client described a three-bedroom condo selling at list price the same week it went on the market. Not every account matches that pattern. In an October 2024 review, a renter described giving the brokerage two months' lead time on an apartment search and getting only three options after a month of chasing the assigned broker for updates. It's the one account in the record that runs counter to the responsiveness other reviewers describe, and it's worth asking directly who will be handling a rental search and how quickly they typically turn listings around. For buying or selling in the South End and greater Boston, the results are consistent across years and across the different agents who carry the work. For a rental search specifically, it's worth confirming who's assigned before committing.
Really enjoyed working with Kate. She's incredibly knowledgeable and her familiarity with not only the neighborhoods where we were looking, but also with the listing agents across the city was a huge bonus. We appreciated her proactive communication and prompt responses. There were various times throughout the process where Kate went the extra mile for us, and we greatly appreciate it. Highly recommend working with Kate and the entire Steven Cohen team!
We've worked with Nicole Spencer to both buy and sell our South End condo. She did an amazing job throughout the process, from getting the condo ready to list all the way to final negotiations. She's extremely knowledgeable about the market and offered a lot of great advice. Highly recommend.
Cannot recommend Steven's team highly enough! Kevin, Cameron and Steven were incredibly helpful, patient and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every step of the process and always responded promptly when we reached out with more questions or seeking extra support.
I had the pleasure of working with Steven, and I can confidently say they have a top-notch real estate team. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly stand out. They are simply the best!
Working with Barrie Stavis has been an incredible experience from start to finish. We worked with her on and off since 2023 as we searched for the right home, and throughout the entire process she was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially in a competitive market, but Barrie consistently provided thoughtful guidance, honest advice, and a steady hand whenever we needed it. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and helped us navigate every step with confidence. Thanks to Barrie's dedication and expertise, we ultimately found and purchased the right home for our family. We always felt supported, informed, and represented. If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in her clients' success, I would highly recommend Barrie Stavis.
