I met with Bruce Needle after I called a Zillow number to schedule a viewing of a house in Sharon. He was not the seller's agent of the house and he knew I wasn’t looking for a buyer’s agent at the moment. But he was willing to walk with me while we were viewing the house. He listened to me, and provided insights regarding the town I wasn't familiar with.
After this brief meeting, I felt like he really understood what we were looking for. In the next few weeks, he scheduled a few other viewings for us.
When I told him I would like to talk to him about getting our own house ready for the market and wanted his opinion, he agreed and suggested Dianne Needle since she is the seller's agent.
That meeting went really well. Both Bruce and Dianne came to our house, they took their time carefully examining our house, discussing our needs, and planning around our timing. They gave us very useful insights from both sides of the market. At this point, we were sure we would love them to act as our buyer’s and seller’s agents.
After that meeting, Dianne showed us a house, which we fell in love with the moment we set foot in, and eventually purchased it.
Dianne and Bruce are very knowledgeable about the towns they serve. They are attentive and keen on finding the right fit for their clients. And they excel at this because they have real relationships with their neighbors, clients, and they care to listen and understand your needs instead of pushing you to close any deal.
I would highly recommend the Needles to anyone looking to buy or sell in or around Sharon. Anyone is lucky to know and work with them.

Bruce was a buyers broker on my recent purchase of a townhome in West Roxbury. I have bought and sold 5 homes over the years and Bruce was the first realtor that I felt truly worked for me. He listened to what I was looking for and in a tight market during a pandemic found several properties for me to view. One of the properties only had 1 parking spot and I needed 2. After the sellers broker said nothing could be done he did some research and found a parking space not to far away that would rent us a spot. Now that is out of the box thinking. In the end we did not take that property since he found one that had 2 garage spots.
Bruce is extremely responsive and answers all texts within minutes. If he doesn't have the answer he will find it and get back to you promptly. He also has many great contacts for painters, electricians, and carpenters. We used all 3 he recommended and they were honest, timely and reasonably priced.
I would highly recommend using Bruce as your realtor.

Dianne, Bruce and their team are my best choice for the house sale this year. They are real expert in the area, and NICE. Every question got prompt answer and solved. They help me to make good decision at the right point.
There was a tropical storm before my house's list day, Dianne arranged everything good but need to confirm the details especially the flood. It's my job to check the house, but I was not very near from the house, Dianne and Bruce cared of my safety and took the risk to see if everything is good. Thanks God, and Thanks Dianne, Bruce and your team.
I will strongly recommend you to my friends.

Tim Lambe and The Needle Group team are best and I am so thankful for having the Needle Group team as a buyer agent. 2021 is such a challenging year to buy a house, especially for the first time home owner like me. But Tim provided us an amazing strategy to make our offer accepted. Tim responded to all my questions very promptly (phone, text and email) and alway kept us an update.
The closing is usually a long process. But the Needle Group made it very smooth and straightforward. I definitely recommend The Needle Group!

We met Dianne during a community event. She was also highly recommended to us by a friend whom she had helped during their home search. As we were thinking of selling our home and buying a new home at the same time we were a little apprehensive and not sure about the entire process. Dianne explained the process to both of us and put us at ease about the entire process. She worked with us very patiently during the entire process and showed us how well she knows the local market. During this process she demonstrated good knowledge of property and her awesome negotiation skills due to which we were able to get the home at a good price. She also helped us in selling our previous home, here too her knowledge of the market was awesome. She carefully went through the sales data in our town and based on her recommendations we were able to get a good prize for it. She made the entire process look seamless and based on our experience we would not hesitate to work with her again. We highly recommend her. We loved working with both Bruce as well as Dianne Needle, great couple and awesome realtors. Great First Experience with The Needle Group !!!”

The Needle Group is the BEST! Our entire purchase process was so smooth and we couldn't be happier with our new home simply because of their guidance.
As first time buyers, we went to so many open houses with our prior agent and still couldn't get a home because we were not getting the right advice. We met Dianne and Bruce just when we were desperate, and they listened to our needs and gave us a clear picture of what kind of houses we really needed for our family. They were always professional and never pushy like the other agents out there. Instead, they personally checked every house that we were interested in and analyzed the pros and cons for us and left us to make the final decision.
The housing market was crazy during the COVID pandemic but they worked their magic and found us our dream house through a private sale.
They were super experienced and knowledgeable in every respect and were able to answer every question we had. We are still asking lots of questions after we moved in but they are always ready to help! I wouldn't recommend any other realtor!

Dianne did an outstanding job for us ... it's a tough market right now but she did a great job helping us explore our options and ultimately she found us an amazing house. She's incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with, and I'm very glad we found her. She was great at assessing the quality of the houses we saw and really worked with us to understand what we wanted so she could help us find it. I enjoyed working with her and really trust her judgment. We found our perfect house because she found it for us, and she guided us through every step of the process -- and we had some fun while doing it. What more could you ask for? I unhesitatingly recommend her.

Dianne is truly an expert in the real estate industry in Sharon. She can understand your expectation and find the house you want. We prefer a relatively new and move-in ready house, which is not that easy to find because the floor plan as well as room size should meet our expectations exactly. Still, she found the one for us, which was truly the dream house. Besides, she is very good at negotiation and giving advice on all the aspects of house buying/maintenance, like details we should pay attention during open house events, what small changes can make a big difference in the house. Based on her advice, we also had a very smooth house inspection and closing process. She basically takes care of everything for the buyer and always replies emails, messages, phone calls ASAP. Even after moving in, she can still give very helpful advice, like lawn maintenance, which we had no previous experience at all. If you want to buy a house in Sharon, I couldn't think of anyone better than Dianne, who lives here and works here for a very long time. She truly knows this area!

My wife and I had been looking for a home for the last few years but started the home hunt in earnest this spring 2017. We had run into Dianne showing properties through the many open houses we had attended the previous year and found her to be warm and knowledgeable. From the agents we had run into in the past, not all of them make the home buying experience a pleasant one. In a very competitive environment, you want someone in your corner looking out for your interests with knowledge and data to make comparables; this made the home search all the more relevant to us as buyers. As the process moved along we viewed properties at open houses but also had several properties she coordinated private viewings for which she did flawlessly. She sent us updates each week as new listings hit the MLS which was very fortunate for us as the property we ultimately purchased was not listed on Zillow or Trulia as an open house. Dianne removed many barriers for us with her network of experts who helped us from everything including the home inspection to the last minute water test we needed to have turned around in 48 hours. I would highly suggest Dianne as a real estate professional to have in your corner during your home buying journey

Dianne Needle and the Needle Group are truly FIVE STAR Realtors! Dianne helped us establish a market-competitive selling price, stage our home to sell, and evaluate MULTIPLE competing offers. Among other things, Dianne helped us understand the risks associated with the highest value offer that we received, and negotiated a healthy increase from the offer we ultimately accepted. She then helped us navigate the issues raised on inspection, and brokered an arrangement that both buyer and seller could live with. When it came time to buy, Dianne helped us stand out among FOUR other competing offers, so that we could own the home we really wanted. It pays to have an experienced professional in your corner when buying or selling a home. I'm so glad that we chose the Needle Group, they were there to guide us through every step of the process.

Dianne and Bruce did a fantastic job marketing our house. They provided a free consultation with a home stager who gave us a full report on how she would stage each room and why. It all made sense. Dianne was relentless in following up with anyone that showed interest from every open house and private showing. She also helped in the negotiation of the P&S agreement to remove a mortgage contingency and lined up a great law firm to handle the closing. We moved to our new house, outside the area, 1 and 1/2 months before the closing and it all went completely smoothly even without us present. I cannot recommend the Needle group more highly. By the way, she also sold our condo back in 2013 and helped us buy the house that we just sold.

This ain’t our first go-around with the Needle Group. We bought and sold homes with them three years ago and just now closed on our new “forever home.” We told Bruce and Dianne what we’d like in our dream house and they came back a week later having checked all the boxes: 3BR, large family room, large office, nice neighborhood but not too tight, big yard for our dogs, reasonable commute to Boston, on a body of water. They worked with us on the bid and, eventually, we got it! Most importantly, they did their usual incredible job advising us on what we needed to do to get the best bang for our buck selling our home. We ended up with SIXTEEN OFFERS after one weekend. Sixteen legitimate offers! And we sold for $50,000 over asking (about $80k over what we paid 3 years ago)! Great market, but it takes an amazing realtor to sift through the buyers and help determine the right one (bid, inspection, credit-worthiness, etc). Seriously, we appreciate the hand-holding that the Needle Group brings: finding the right home, staging, advising, and walking you through every inch of the process. Great team (including Nancy in the office who was exceptional). In closing, we don’t expect to use them again soon — cuz they found us the perfect house and helped us land it in the most competitive market in recent history. But they’re great friends now so of course we’ll have them over for a post-COVID party by the pond.

We interviewed the leading realtors in Sharon and determined that Dianne and her team displayed the hunger, grit, and focus that would match our standards best. Our transaction was complex, contingent on multiple other home sales like a daisy chain. Dianne oversaw the process with grace. I also appreciated that Dianne was comfortable pushing back and being tough with me when we disagreed. I always value candor and transparency.
In addition to selling our home successfully, Dianne found us a PERFECT next rental, that was not on the market. Importantly, Dianne has remained helpful on any followup issues. Strongly recommend.

We met Bruce Needle through Zillow. As we arrive in the US during the last year, our experience buying or searching home here was zero. Fortunately for us, Zillow recommended Bruce to be our agent. We said fortunately because it was all smooth after meeting him. His knowledge and experience in the field were key to understand how systems work in houses, the differences between them, and evaluating the price of houses accordingly. He answered all our questions, and if we need some more information, he found specialists to answer. Finally, we found the house for us, and we are so happy that we are now the owners! Even now, they still help us by giving us recommendations of contractors and other specific needs to make the final touches to our house to be perfect for us to move in.
We highly recommend Bruce, Dianne, and Nancy, the Needle Group, to be anyone’s agent, as they do their best to meet your needs, and they make it happen!

Finding Dianne and Bruce Needle at The Needle Group was like striking gold! They are pure perfection in every sense of the word. My husband and I literally wanted to find our dream home in Sharon, MA and we had many tall orders to fill when it came to our wish list. They were by our side every step of the way helping us navigate the big stuff like the intense competition and the negotiations, to the little details that needed to be tended to. They understand construction and financing and have a team of people behind them that they can recommend should you be from out of town. They are very responsive and were just a text away when we needed anything. Even when I started to freak out that we weren't going to find what we wanted they provided their calming words and support. I am kind of sad that we found a house because now I won't be able to talk to them as often. I highly recommend Bruce and Dianne for all your real estate needs!!!

I've known Dianne Needle for years. However we chose Dianne as our realtor not based on simply "knowing" her but on her expertise and simply being the best in the area.
Dianne has worked for her community and her town for years, supporting local organizations, showing her love and understanding of her community. What does this have to do with selling a home, you may ask? She knows the area in and out. She knows everyone in town. She knows whom to call if there's a problem with ANYthing! Things you would never imagine needing in your daily life! Dianne gets the job done.
Dianne is efficient, a straight shooter, and the best person to have on your side if you're selling or buying a home in the area. Dianne explains to you the process efficiently, is to the point, assists in staging your home, give you the best no-nonsense advice and is honest with you. Dianne is a force to reckon with - and you're glad she's on your team to buy or sell your home! Dianne and Bruce were both exemplary in this journey and we could not have asked for a better experience with selling our home.

We asked Dianne to sell my mother's house late this past Summer. Since we no longer lived in the area and most of the information about the house was difficult to obtain, having someone with local experience was required. Dianne quickly showcased her knowledge of the area, what to do in order to get top dollar for the house, find the right buyers, and then expertly negotiated for us. Equally, while we ran into a couple of snags due to lack of information regarding the house, Dianne was able to use her experience, contacts and was just plain helpful in closing down those questions so we closed on time. Just as important to us, Dianne was able to help when we were not around, adding that personal touch that separate Dianne and Bruce from other real estate brokers.
My experience was unparalleled and I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell their house to use The Needle Group. The way that Dianne and Bruce handle their clients and their needs is unheralded and the way it should be. They will do whatever is in their power to meet their client goals and the process to get there is comfortable and lacked the stress that I experienced when selling a house previously.

They were able to negotiate for us as buyers and sellers in a way that left all parties happy leaving the virtual table. In these COVID times, it is also important to have a team you can trust to be safe. They followed all protocols and we felt comfortable through the whole process. We could not recommend them enough!

I cannot recommend Dianne and Bruce Needle highly enough! I have worked with them to sell one home and purchase two and they have been wonderful with every deal. Buying and selling are both stressful for different reasons but Dianne and Bruce's extensive experience, knowledge and their senses of humor make the process enjoyable. For the house we sold, Dianne secured a sale price well over asking and for the two homes we purchased, we paid less than asking price. If you're looking for a home in the Greater Boston area, look no further than the Needle Group!

I think my husband says it best when he says "I couldn't have had a better realtor." Working with Bruce honestly felt like working with a family friend who we had known for years, from the get go. He always had time for us, and walked us through everything in such a simple way that made a process that could be stressful actually fun. He stayed true to our vision, our price point, and got us into the house of our dreams. I would 100% recommend Bruce to anyone, I don't think you can find a more honest, knowledgeable guy to have on your side during a process like this.

Bruce truly exceeded all our expectations. As first time home buyers the process was equal parts confusing and overwhelming. Bruce patiently guided us through the process, explaining everything along the way.
Bruce was quick to schedule showings whenever it was convenient for us and we never felt rushed to make a decision. We were new to the area so his local knowledge was invaluable. No matter the time of day and no matter the ask Bruce was always there for us.
You work with a lot of people throughout your life so it takes someone that goes above and beyond to stand out and make you want to recommend the to everyone you know (and strangers on the internet). Simply put, Bruce is one of those people.

The Needle group was recommended by my colleague and I cannot thank him enough for that. Bruce was absolutely fantastic and helped us secure our first new construction home with so much ease and confidence. He made sure we were completely satisfied with the house before placing an offer. He knows a lot about the local area and how to navigate through the process of home purchase. Without his help we would not have been able to understand all the minute details that is required for a new construction house. We truly appreciate his help and would be happy to recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new house.

We heard about the Needle Group from close friends who had bought and sold houses with them. At our first meeting, Bruce and Dianne stressed how much they felt their clients were like family. They took the time to interview us as much as we interviewed them to ensure we’d work well together. They were not interested in just a quick sale - they wanted to help us find the right home for us.
Our primary contact was Bruce and he was fantastic. His knowledge of the area was bar none. He demeanor was perfect - happy to joke around, but also there to talk me off the occasional ledge. He listened to our feedback as we looked at places and helped steer us toward what we wanted/needed.
His advice and recommendations were always on point.

When we started the home-buying process, we were not well-acquainted with it and Dianne was a God send from the start. She held our hands through the entire process, starting with the offer letter, providing suggestions and recommendations for professionals to work with for inspection and closing, offering information about the community and upcoming tax changes, working closely with us to address all of our concerns, and being very accommodating and understanding of our tight timeframe and special conditions. She always went the extra mile for us, and she would often come to us or somewhere more convenient for us to sign papers or meet. She was also incredibly helpful in the negotiation process, discussing the offer and asks during the purchase and sales. We would have felt over our heads or unsure of our steps without Dianne by our side.
After purchasing our home, Dianne has become our friend and neighbor, and she is still the first person we reach out to when looking for professionals or when needing advice regarding home improvement projects. She continues to check in on us, and she has been a caring and communicative friend since we moved.
We are also happy to report that upon our recommendation, Dianne recently helped my co-worker purchase his first home and he also had a great experience dealing with Dianne and her team.

Dianne (and her husband Bruce) were great resources during an uncertain period, helping us execute both the sale of our first home and purchase of our next house as concerns around COVID-19 were really throwing a wrench in the housing market. We would highly recommend The Needle Group team.
On the sale side, Dianne's eye for detail and network of affordable, high quality, and speedy contractors helped us quickly get our house in tip top shape for an open house. When we did have our open house - right as the world was shutting down in Mid-March due to COVID-19 - she did a great job allaying our concerns about having so many visitors in our house by strategically placing cautionary signs and disinfecting wipes throughout the house. She also posted a virtual walk through to drive interest from buyers uncomfortable with venturing out of their homes. With her help, our open house drew a ton of attention and we were able to get an offer over our asking price on the initial weekend.
On the purchase side, Dianne's local contacts proved critical as inventory disappeared from the market in March/April. She was diligent in reaching out to contacts and fellow realtors to try bring hesitant sellers out of the woodwork and helped us find a house we love in the neighborhood we were focused on.

We first heard of Dianne and Bruce Needle (The Needle Group at Keller Williams) through a local community group, Sharon What's Up. The Needles were among the top recommendations coming from the 100+ responses we received from our fellow towns people. This recommendation was completely proved out once we selected the Needles and started to work with them on selling our home of 23 years and searching for our new home in nearby towns. Selling our home, Dianne immediately clicked with us - she was warm, empathetic, supportive, and completely professional. She explained the process carefully, and helped us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of what was needed to sell the house was right on the mark - and as a result we sold our house immediately after our open houses. She prepared us and our home beautifully and found us the right buyers - the sale and the closing all went without a hitch right as the pandemic hit and surged in our community.
On the buying side, Bruce was the perfect complement - warm, understanding, and tuned into our vision and our needs. We found a great new place within a week, and Bruce helped us through the purchase process with the same level of detail and professionalism we found through the sale of our old home.
We were so fortunate to have Dianne, Bruce and their team. We recommend the Needle Group with great enthusiasm.

Bruce was the best. He met or exceeded all our expectations. Knowledgable and always available, we felt like we had a true champion in our corner. Going above and beyond, he even gave us a great virtual tour when we were unable to travel for a showing. Can't do better than The Needle Group.

Diane recently sold my house in Sharon, MA. What was amazing is that she came to me with a great buyer. I could see her loyalty to her client and the desire to get them the best price.
I had mentioned to her in the past that we planned on selling our home within the next year.
The sale was seamless with attention to every single detail. She left no stone unturned. Her attention to detail is outstanding as well as her knowledge of the business.
I would highly recommend the Needle Group if you are looking to buy or sell your home!

We met Bruce Needle through working with his wife and partner at "The Needle Group", Dianne Needle. It soon became evident to us that being from Sharon, the Needles have the "home advantage" and were willing to help guide us through every step of the way as we were very inexperienced first-time home buyers. Bruce sat down with my wife and I at a coffee shop and very carefully took notes on what we needed in a new home, for as a family of 5 (to include an infant and a toddler and pets) we needed a safe affordable home within a specific time frame. We viewed many properties, all the while Bruce was patient and informative and so when we found THE property we were all excited and relieved. However, we would, of course, run into a few unusual issues which complicated the sale and lead to us leasing to own our home for months before we could take over the title. We all learned a lot through
this ordeal and although it was far from easy Bruce stayed in touch, stayed positive and guided us through the challenges as he clearly did care if our young family had a place to live in enough time to get our eldest settled into her new school. Bruce became like family. Bruce went the extra mile and helped make our new house and new home town feel like home, all with a smile.
Sincerely,
Christiane

I had to pleasure of working with The Needle Group as an investor buyer and they also helped me list the property for sale when it was complete. Dianne Steigman Needle and Bruce Needle are real estate experts who I was able to rely on due to my inexperience with a VA buyer and they helped tremendously in making this a smooth and profitable transaction. Looking forward to working with them again on another transaction and soon.

Bruce did an amazing job helping us navigate our first home buying experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process, always responsive to our inquiries, and made us feel like we had a good friend in the business. All of the inspectors, mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, and other professionals to whom he referred us were wonderful and took so much pressure off our experience. We got the home we wanted and at a fair price. I would highly recommend Bruce and the Needle Group if you are looking for a realtor in the area.

We had the pleasure of working with Bruce and Dianne for almost a year as we searched for our first home! At our initial meeting with them we felt they were professional and knowledgeable, and we appreciated that they got to know us on a personal level. They put us at ease as we prepared to enter the home buying process for the first time. Bruce attended countless open houses with us, wrote up multiple offers, and time and time again kept us feeling positive during the ups and downs of the housing market! Ultimately, we took a little break from our search but when we were ready to start looking again, Bruce was the first person we called. Even when we changed course and found a house in a different location, Bruce came prepared with everything he knew about the area. From start to finish, we trusted he would get the job done. We are so excited to have recently moved into our first home and would recommend working with The Needle Group to both sellers and buyers.

Dianne and Bruce were an absolute pleasure to work with! I gave Dianne a call when I stumbled upon a perfect house as a first time home buyer. Dianne jumped right in and explained the entire process in a way that made my nerves turn to confidence. She helped me pull together a rock star team, made sure I was on track at all the important milestones, and made recommendations that I'm so grateful I took. She and Bruce were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they were so much fun to work with! Their excitement for me made the process all that much more fun. The Needle Group is like none other, I highly recommend working with them!

We chose Dianne because she had the best sales record in our area, and she gave us the impression she would go the extra mile for us. We were not disappointed. Dianne and Bruce took such good care of us! Even when we hit a rough patch, Dianne jumped right in, and went above and beyond to make sure our home sold quickly, and at the best price. She was knowledgeable and professional, and made us feel like a priority, from the beginning to the end of the process. Would definitely recommend.

Dianne and Bruce are a dream team, and made the purchase of our first home as stress-free as anyone could want. They gave amazing advice and always had our back, and their recommendations were invaluable. Cannot thank them enough and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again, or recommend to everyone we know!

I cannot tell enough good things about, Bruce and Dianne Needle. From the start of our family's home buying process, until now even post close with renovation, Bruce has made my life so easy. Given that the property we purchased was bank owned, the process was quite complicated with multiple parties (attornies, bank personnel, etc.) involved. Bruce coordinated the entire process and made the purchase incredibly seamless. Even when he did not know about something, he would research and get back to you with prompt information. The best service from the couple is honesty, and they strive to keep their customers up to date. Now that we are post close, and as I am working on renovating the house, Bruce still continues to provide me with recommendations on contractors. I will be sure to recommend Bruce and Dianne Needle to all my friends and family for purchasing future properties.

Dianne has helped my family sell and buy homes for years and we wouldn't think of using a different realtor. Dianne is very knowledgeable and is ALWAYS able to answer any question that we may throw at her. She did a great job with my open house and with the negotiations of my closing. I couldn't be happier with how the sale of my condo turned out. I can't wait to look for a new home with Dianne and have her help us find a home for our family!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Bruce when buying our first home. We contacted the Needle Group as our first step in purchasing a house. We knew a bit about the process, but we were certainly a little overwhelmed and we were working with a short deadline. Bruce was amazing to work with from our first meeting! He and his wife Dianne advised us what to expect every step of the way. He was always prompt and responsive no matter if I e-mailed, called, or texted or how many times I reached out to him during the day. No matter how many properties I sent him, he checked out all of them either by discussing with the listing agent, driving by to make sure it met our criteria, or in many instances, setting up a viewing - sometimes for the same day! He was always positive even when I became discouraged. When we found the house we wanted to move on, I truly believe it was his expert advice that led to our offer being accepted. We closed on our home less than 2 months after meeting Bruce. I couldn't recommend him or the Needle Group more.

We just made the move to Mass from Texas. Dianne and her team were incredible in helping us find our home! Dianne went above and beyond looking at houses for us while we were transitioning up North. She responded to emails so quickly! The whole process for us was super smooth and we have been so thankful to have Dianne in our corner. We highly recommend Dianne!

Dianne helped us buy our first home and truly made it a stress-free experience. Dianne built trust early on as she always gave honest feedback and consistently answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Through every step of the process she had reliable recommendations for our needs whether it was a closing attorney, inspector, or loan officer. Additionally, we didn’t own a car at the time and she was more than happy to pick us up or meet us wherever we asked at a time that worked around our schedule. Dianne routinely went above and beyond, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a buying agent.
