Amazing! Donna took care of all the details of my sale and helped me through a number of challenging issues with the property. Once listed, I accepted an offer in under a week. I highly recommend Donna, you could not ask for a better partner in the process.

Linda Moroni

Pat is amazing! She helped me during a very difficult time to sell my dad’s home. She went out of her way to help me through the sale. She is the most professional, kind, courteous and caring individual. I honestly can’t imagine having done this with anyone else!

I am in awe how amazing Pat Cruz guided Me threw the stressful process of selling my home. Her honestly and professionalism was the reason I went with W&S Real Estate. In a week she got a great offer!! She went above and beyond to answer my questions on her phone day or night. I highly recommend to anyone to use this company and make sure you ask for Pat Cruz.

Once I had decided it was time to buy my first home, a friend of mine recommended that I contact Williams & Stuart for an agent. My agent Tommy St. Lawrence responded to my inquiry on the website with a few questions about what I was looking for and within a day I was using their online tool to search for exactly what I wanted. It was user friendly and easy to mark my favorites. To say Tommy was responsive is an understatement. He would get back to me at any hour on any day, usually within minutes, and provide an informative and enthusiastic answer. He also went well out of his way several times to show me houses on the other side of RI from his office. The whole process up until I got the keys was surprisingly easy and enjoyable despite how I've heard it can be. I now own my first home thanks to his help and even weeks after closing, he still gets back to me just as quickly and he has helped me address a few concerns I had that he didn't have to. I highly recommend Williams & Stuart and Tommy St. Lawrence, especially to first-time buyers like myself. I love my new house, thank you!!!

Nobody knows Rhode Island better than Patricia Cruz. Pat is an outstanding agent to work with. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the local market. My husband and I met Pat at an open house back in March, immediately we realized her professionalism, engaging, friendly and honest persona. She was extremely patient and generous with her time, we never felt pressure and always felt she had our back. Finally after many months we found our dream home and Pat's negotiation abilities helped us to win. We would highly recommend Pat to friends and family.

James Pizzuti

Sold in about a week: From our initial meeting to the closing my agent Pat Cruz went above and beyond. I realize that the housing market is hot right now but Pat was able to get me offers in under a week. This is due to her exceptional marketing skills which included staging, lighting, professional photography, and crafting the listing so the property would sell for top dollar. Aside from the marketing Pat is a process expert. She guided me through every step of the selling process and ensured that everything was in order so that the closing was successful without any surprises. Pat will be my agent again for any future real estate transactions and I have already highly recommended her to close family and friends. Thanks Pat and the Williams and Stuart team!

We can't say enough about how happy we were with Sally Hersey's wonderful work on our behalf, both in the sale of one home and purchase of another. Throughout the entire process, Sally was positive, upbeat, communicative and ever so patient with us, especially when we worried over details. Best of all, she found us a buyer for our home in just days after it went on the market, not once, but twice - after the first buyer pulled out. Sally's marketing experience, expertise and professionalism is highly commendable. With her help and guidance, we met our very aggressive deadline and closed on both homes the same day as scheduled. We love our new home, feel so fortunate to have had Sally as our agent and will highly recommend her to others.

Gabriela Cline

We had the pleasure of working with Susanna Lorente and would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase. She was incredibly thoughtful and responsive throughout our entire home buying process. We had a rather lengthy window between signed P&S and close date and she was constantly following up with us, giving us updates when it was available. Amongst lots of back and forth in the process with the seller and their representation, Susana was consistently a strong advocate for us providing sound guidance and always having our best interest in mind. Thank you kindly Susana!

Carmen H.

Kate Disimone is the best agent,I have worked with her three times and has always delivered, never seen a person with so much patience thoughtfulness,kindness she goes the extra mile for her clients Highly recommend her.

Heather H.

Dena found us the perfect home for our family quickly and easily! She took time to listen to us and what we needed. We were a multigenerational family, living together, with a long wish list! We bought the first house she showed us! We looked at a few others to make sure, but she found our dream home with the first house! It was amazing! She was wonderful to work with, the process was so easy. She is very knowledgeable with older homes and renovations! I would recommend her 100% if you are buying a new home.

Jamie J.

I have used Susan Schultz twice for a purchase and a sale, and will be using her in the future. She was supportive and knowledgeable, and when I got nervous I had a virtual hand to hold. She even helped me find a plumber to replace my hot water heater (great guy I have been recommending). Sales process and closing were smooth. Having someone of her caliber says a lot about the company.

We began working with Matt Kachanis to sell our home in RI a few weeks before closing on our new home in MA. He replied almost instantaneously to our inquiry - we were speaking via phone within an hour and he set up an appointment to come to our house a few days later. He came to the meeting prepared and  ready to get to work. We wanted to put our house on the market right after we moved, and Matt did all the prep work to make sure everything was ready as soon as we wanted to list. That included getting all the listing paperwork signed and squared away and having a professional photographer take photos. With Matt's social media savvy, we even had a few showings set up before we were live on MLS. When our first buyers backed out due to a change of heart, Matt took it as a small bump in the road and went full steam ahead contacting other interested buyers and using creative marketing techniques; he even organized a mega open house with two other homes for sale on our street. Our second buyers had the buyer of their home back out as well, and again, Matt was there to guide us every step of the way and offered great advice. We were able to sell our home to the second buyers and close before our end-of-summer goal. Selling a home can be a very stressful process and Matt's expertise, drive, and sense of urgency left us with no doubt that he was always working on our behalf.

When making the decision to pursue one of the biggest purchases of our lifetime, my husband and I were very diligent to find an agent who was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and worked with genuine integrity. In Sandra Sousa, we not only found those wonderful qualities but so much more! After I was referred to her, I knew she'd be "the one" when she returned my call during her vacation in Florida. She took the time to REALLY listen to our wishlist and provided us with the tools for a successful house hunt. She gave us great advice during our search and answered every question we had with sincerity and professionalism.

When we finally found the house we'd call our own, Sandra became a home "inspector" of sorts even before we hired the actual home inspector! She looked over everything to ensure we would get our monies worth! That is the type of person you want on your team. I could go on, but I think you get my point. Look no further. If you want quality service, you'll find it here.

Still More kind words

I highly recommend Bob Kenneally from Williams & Stuart. He is an incredibly professional, personable and responsive realtor who will go the extra mile for you from start to finish! Bob helped my husband and I both sell our old house and buy our new home. His knowledge of the real estate market, dedication to his clients, and genuineness are unmatched! Both of our deals went through without a hitch thanks to him. Definitely sign-up to work with Bob, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

My agent Donna DiGuilio went above and beyond during the sale of my home. Selling a house in Rhode Island while living in Florida was a challenge, and she overcame each and every one !! So helpful in dealing with everything that came up, and there were quite a few curve balls that came our way. Her professionalism is what made my life so much easier during the sale. I highly recommend Williams and Stuart Realty if you are looking to buy or sell. Donna is a huge asset for her clients.

Sally has been an absolute gem. When we decided to sell our home and find a new one more suited to our needs after some big life changes, we anticipated a stressful and drawn out process — but with Sally at the helm, things could not have gone smoother. Within a few weeks (literally weeks), we were able to find a buyer for our previous home and get our offer accepted on our dream home. Throughout, Sally was the ultimate professional. We were deeply impressed with her responsiveness to our (many) questions, her collegial relationships with colleagues, her large network of professionals for our home improvement needs, and her attention to detail. Our dog also adored her (huge plus!!). We will not hesitate to recommend Williams and Stuart, and Sally Hersey in particular, to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Barbara Jagolinzer is both energetic and enthusiastic. She knows the area and utilizes her contacts to ensure her client achieves the goals delineated in their meetings. She maintains unobtrusive contact while keeping the client informed of those available properties that match their desires. She understands financing, including the time required to finalize the transactions. She finds the correct answers to client questions and explains the answer in easily understood language. This was our seventh use of a realtor in seven different parts of the country and Barbara established a standard unmatched by our previous experiences.

~ John Groth


Donna was a true Professional...a credit to the Industry!! Her genuine caring of her clients was VERY evident. She always presented the facts without any bios or pressure. Donna constantly had a positive attitude & kept us focused "on the end goal." Without ANY hesitation, we will call her for our next transaction & would highly recommend her.

~ Russell, R.I.


We worked with Pat Cruz to sell our house in Warwick RI. She was great to work with. Once listed, the house sold in 4 days. She helped us with pricing, presentation, and worked with us all the way through the closing. I could not have asked for a better agent to work with us.

~ Jim Cabral


Working with Jessica was a dream come thought for my family. She's persistent and consistent in what she does. As we all know how tedious it is nowadays to find a home to buy. People will overbite you after you think you can get that particle home you tend you buy. It came to a point that my Wife said Hun, I think we should forget about this process and wait for next year. It wasn't easy. Jessica was like a Mother to us in finding this beautiful home that we can call ours. Her resilience kept us pushing daily. I have been in RI for over 10yrs, I've not traveled everywhere until we came in purchasing a home. We drive daily during this process. Her emails, her text messages give us hope. It came a time I stop calling her by her full name. I started to call her (Jess). She has brought joy to my family. My kids are happy with our home. I'm willing to recommend Jess to anyone who's thinking of purchasing a home. She is down to earth. I remember her telling us, lets us hand in there we gonna get to the finish line. With the help of God, we sure did get to the finish line. Thank you guys so much for allowing Jessica to work with us. I can write a whole book about this energetic Lady. We look forward to working with you guys in the Future again. May God bless you all.

Thanks, Konah/ Maima.

Jessica Giorgi skillfully guided us through selling our home. Her deep knowledge of the local market and strategic thinking was a great asset. She went above and beyond in her service, helping to address all issues that came up in the course of the transaction.

~ Rosanna Cavanagh


I worked with Doug Beye- what a great person and real estate agent! Would recommend to anyone. As I was coming from out of state, I needed to work with someone I could trust to find a place sight-unseen. Doug didn't disappoint and truly went above and beyond to ensure that needs were met. Thanks Doug- hope to work with you again someday!

~ Jessica Cless


oshua Santos was amazing! He went above and beyond from the beginning to the very end! I don't have enough words to express the appreciation my husband and I have for all the work he put into to our transaction. We were selling our home and buying a new one and it was a very confusing and complicated most of the time to us and he made sure we understood everything. I will recommend him to everyone I know!

~ Lisa Brice


Donna DiGuilio was an amazing realtor! She was able to help me sell my childhood home with such ease, and was always available with questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell!

~ Briana Dolbec


To busy to deal with minutiae?
My second experience with Williams & Stuart. Their concierge did it all! Mover, utilities, internet done! Allowed myself and my staff to concentrate on my business. Priceless.

Many thanks to Susan and her staff for their efforts. You win!

~ Passport Autobody


Bob was amazing. He took care of everything. From stagers to smoke alarms. Bob made me feel like I was his only client. Could not have had a better experience selling my home.

~ Joseph Silva


The leadership shown throughout the process of selling our family home after 60 years was outstanding.
Paul Zarella and his team and his associates outside the firm guided us through a few challenges exactly as initially advised.

The ideas on how to market our home and create a contemporary appeal were spot on generating several offers to purchase in a relatively short time span.

Never have I experienced a more responsive individual and team which created a real working comfort level.
Your team was definitely invested in our success.

I would absolutely recommend Paul Zarella (immense knowledge base and skill set) to anyone and would not hesitate to use Williams and Stuart in the future.
Thank you.

In 2017 Barbara Jagolinzer helped me find the perfect home in Common Fence Point, Portsmouth. She found multiple viewings for me to tour, and provided her expert opinion on the pros and cons of each. When it came time to sell my home recently, I turned to Barbara, as an experienced professional and person I trust. She has years of experience with a deep knowledge of the local market, trends, and strategies, I knew she would help me sell quickly, with the highest return. We listed on Thursday afternoon, had five showings on Saturday. This returned four offers, and a final closing price comfortably higher than the asking price. Barbara’s strategies resulted in a quick sale with multiple offers and a stress-free sale. I have already recommended her to someone with whom I work, and I recommend her to you.
