  • "The Houseworks Collective team was outstanding. We’d tried a different agency and couldn’t get qualified buyers through the door. Charlie met with us, explained his process, and backed it up with data. His team was professional, prepared, and present for every showing, and they knew the neighborhood inside and out and could sell the community."

    - Dan H.

  • "Charlie is amazing! As a first time home buyer, I was very clueless and overwhelmed. But meeting with Charlie made me feel confident we wouldn't miss anything, and he really made me feel like he had my back!"

    - Andrea B.

  • "Charlie made the deal to get our house. Period. Charlie knew the other realtors and structured the deal that was very aggressive and worked. That deal was all Charlie, he knew what it would take to close and delivered. Plus, he is a really pleasant person and very professional."

    - Jack A.

  • "As a first time home buyer, working with Charlie was everything that I could have asked for. He is a great listener, extremely knowledgeable and consistently responsive. While professional, Charlie keeps things light and approached the process of helping me find a home with zero pressure and a sense of humor- just what I needed!"

    - Daniele S.

  • "I have worked with Houseworks Collective over several years both buying and selling small investment properties. They know how to fit investors with the right properties and has helped me act quickly. It has been helpful to follow their lead and get true market perspective.

    - Ryan D.

  • "We have just purchased our second home with Houseworks Collective, and sold our first. Smooth transactions from start to finish. We really appreciate the efforts in making both the purchase and sale relatively stress free."

    - David F.

  • "I’ve lived in my condo for 21 years and I didn’t know what to expect when I may the decision to sell. Charlie held my hand every step of the way. His knowledge and tips on how to stage was perfect. When fear started to creep in, Charlie was right there with a calming voice to remind me of my goal. I’m in my new place and couldn’t be happier."

    - Aisha G.
