Arlene Mary Keating

I hired Arlene for a real estate closing, a commercial building lease, some personal legal work, and also consulted with her for some estate planning advice. She has always been extremely knowledgeable and very patient in explaining the process and answering all of my questions and concerns. She re...sponded quickly in returning my calls and requests for information. I felt she alerted me to any potential pitfalls so they could be avoided and have felt very comfortable using her for my legal needs. She has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I strongly recommend her to others.

I've also used Arlene Keating several times for real estate closings in Massachusetts and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I found her to be knowledgeable, accurate, competent and always professional. She’s been very helpful, since I moved to Portsmouth, with information regarding certain New Hampshire rea...l estate laws that differ from Mass laws and might impact current and future transactions. I’ve been completely satisfied each time she handled any/all of those transactions and plan on using her services this year, as an estate planner. I trust her opinions, advice and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

Arlene is one of a kind. I needed to find a home for my daughter and myself following a tough divorce. I got lucky and found a condo in forclosure. She helped me so much. Walked me through the process. I had never purchased a home on my own before and was feeling raw and pretty scared of the whole th...ing. Her encouragement, honesty and kindness gave me the confidence to pull the trigger. She is very direct (and funny) but knowledgable. She had an answer for all of my questions, worked easily with my mortgage broker and made herself available to me every step of the way. I have never met a real estate broker who doesn't know her and recommend her work. She has the highest integrity and isn't afraid to tell you the thing you don't want to hear if she feels you will benefit from it. I trust her implicitly. She will be handling my estate planning next. Call her. You will never regret it.

I have used Arlene's services several times for real estate closings, in Boston and in the Newburyport area. She always exemplifies the utmost professionalism. She is competent, punctual, organized, attentive to details, and has always been so accommodating to my needs and schedule. She once had me s...ign papers at 10:00 p.m. since that was the only time that worked. Another time, she met me at the courthouse so she could file the deed there immediately. She really is the best. I have also used her services for estate planning. Again, she just did everything right and made it as convenient as possible for me, her client!

I have had the pleasure of working with Arlene Keating of Keating Law Offices since 2002. As a Real Estate agent, I work with many attorneys in both Mass and NH every year and I know the difference between a quality real estate attorney and an attorney that just gets by or that does sub par work. A...rlene goes above and beyond for every transaction and I can trust that my Sellers and/or Buyers will always be in good hands. Transactions go smoothly because she takes the time to do title work ahead of time instead of waiting until the last hour, she identifies and avoids potential problems before they get to the closing table and she even travels to closing locations that are convenient to all parties involved. My trust level for Arlene is so high that I brought my parents to her for some estate planning work when they moved from Mass to NH. She handles all of her clients with professionalism and humor which is so refreshing in this industry. I recommend her highly to anyone looking for assistance with real estate closings, purchase and sales review, condo conversions and estate planning.
