Testimonials

Miyana did excellent work in selling our Lexington house. It was a very unusual and difficult situation, and her patience and professionalism really made the difference. The fact that she knows so many excellent tradespeople made it easier to get the house ready for the market. She also handled the negotiations and sale beautifully and seamlessly. As a real estate professional myself, I could not have asked for better service. I have recommended Miyana to my Lexington friends who are planning to sell in the next few years.

Gary and Amy, Lexington

When we decided to sell our home in Lexington MA, working with Miyana proved to be the best decision we made! She is a consummate professional with a deep knowledge of the Lexington/Greater Boston market. It didn't take long for us to realize that we had found a trusted partner who could guide us through the process of marketing and selling our home. At every step, she offered unique insights and strategies on staging, marketing and timing that made a real difference. She truly seemed to care about our home and understood the life transition we were making. (Her calm and reassuring manner is a definite plus!)

Mark and Gayle, Lexington

After all the time working with Miyana, she feels like a welcome member of our family. From the moment we were in communication with her, we could tell she was dedicated to meeting our needs and finding us the perfect house to make our home. She did so in a shorter amount of time than we anticipated. With the inconsistency and competition of the housing market, we liked that Miyana was always realistic with us and we felt like our time and energy was always valued . We appreciated her extensive knowledge of all aspects of the real estate market and process. She is also happy to utilize and share her deep-rooted network that can only exist from many years in the real estate industry. Her communication was always timely, flexible, and positive no matter the time of day we were reaching out to her. What we truly appreciated most was how she went the extra mile to help us understand so much that we did not know. She walked us through every step of the not-so-easy process so we felt comfortable, motivated, understood, and excited. We would highly recommend Miyana to any person looking to buy, sell, or rent. She will not only make sure you find the perfect home but she will become an important member of your team and family.

Kathryne and Neil, Wilmington

Miyana recently helped us sell our house with incredible results. Her understanding of the market, thought out pricing strategy, and impeccable marketing, produced multiple offers, well above the asking price. But it was not only this outcome why we would highly recommend Miyana. Equally important was how she ran the whole process from the initial consultation, to the final walk through. She was on top of every single step down to the last detail, always guiding us and supporting us in ways that completely exceeded our expectations. I felt confident that we’re in good hands and this made the transaction less stressful. Miyana has extensive experience in real estate, is extremely knowledgeable, and professional. She truly has exceptional communication, negotiation and people skills - which is so important in real estate transactions. We are extremely grateful to Miyana  and we warmly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. 

Biljana and Berislav, Acton

Selling a house is hard! Miyana Bovan was great every step of the way from establishing the price, setting sales strategy, timing the sale, and then making everything from the offer sheet to closing go smoothly. She gave us specific advice on what buyers are looking for and what we should do to set the house up so it showed well. The biggest contribution was setting the timing. Initially we envisioned a June sale, but after she did her detailed analysis, she recommended an earlier date to take advantage of the current market. Her approach worked flawlessly with the house getting great traffic, multiple offers, and selling for well over asking price to wonderful buyers. We were fortunate, but as Gary Player said, the more you practice, the luckier you get! Miyana has had lots of practice, so it was no surprise that we got a fabulous result.

Jeff and Chris, Lexington

Miyana had a track record of solid sales in Lexington. We very much appreciated the attention she gave us to sell our home. She worked very hard and the sale was a success. She referred us to a local painter and attorney who were also excellent to work with. Miyana walked us through the P&S, checked the permit history, and conducted the final walk through with the buyers. Her extensive market reports made us feel confident in her recommendations for pricing our property. She was constant in her personal touch and dedication to us in the process of selling. Miyana was more than just a broker; she was a trusted partner through the entire process. It was truly a pleasure to work with her!

Gayle and Mark, Lexington

We had the best experience working with Miyana while buying our new home. She was awesome from start to finish! She knew her stuff and made the whole process a breeze. She is always available to answer our questions we had and made sure we were informed every step of the way. Not only was the process smooth and stress-free, but Miyana also helped us find our dream home. She took the time to listen to our needs and preferences and showed a variety of properties that fit our criteria. We are thrilled with the home we purchased and couldn't have done it without her help. Overall, we highly recommend Miyana Bovan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication to her clients are unmatched. Miyana, thank you for everything! Thanks again!

Andrei & Alsu, Bedford

If you’re looking for a realtor, look no further, Miyana Bovan is the one! I typically don’t write reviews, but the phenomenal service I received from Miyana, calls for an exception. Miyana sold my home and secured a new home for me in a challenging market. The success of the sale and purchase of these properties was due to Miyana’s exceptional expertise, responsiveness and attention to each and every detail. Miyana calmly guided me through every step of selling and buying properties. She went above and beyond the realm of normal expectations when issues and challenges arose. I will be forever grateful for her expertise, support and kindness.

C.T. Belmont

The process of buying a house, especially in this seller's market, can often be tricky and uncertain with bidding wars and fast-moving "open-house-to-contract” complexities to navigate. With that in mind, we were thrilled to have chosen Miyana Bovan as our buyer’s agent because every step of the way, she had the knowledge, the contacts and the insights to help us make critical decisions. Right from the start, Miyana got to know us and what our needs were. She was honest when a house would pop up that she didn’t feel fit our needs. Each of the house visits with her made us more educated on not only the location we were interested in (Miyana had extensive knowledge of the Lexington market), but also the houses that typically came on the market and their unique pros and cons. When the right house finally did come on the market, Miyana worked behind the scenes uncovering extra details about the house from town records and setting us up with a pre-inspection. With this extra information, we were comfortable making an offer. She expertly guided us through the offer process (very nerve-wracking) and ultimately we got the house we were looking for! Yay! But Miyana’s job wasn’t done. She continued to assist us making sure all permits were completed and connecting us with lawyers, contractors, inspectors, town-officials and more. After closing, she was there doing the walk-through for us in our absence. Her attention to detail was amazing and her ability to get things done, impressive. Miyana Bovan truly “had our back” through the entire process. Best of all, we feel like we’ve gained a life-along friend and neighbor. With all of that said, we highly recommend Miyana Bovan as your next real estate agent.

-Donna and Dave, Lexington

We first met Miyana in 2016 and were immediately taken by her depth of knowledge about the Lexington and greater-Boston housing market, her professionalism, and her calm demeanor. It took us a few years of on-again off-again searching and multiple lost bidding wars before we finally landed our dream home. During this time, our family grew, our needs and means changed, and Miyana exhibited amazing patience as we struggled to identify for ourselves the criteria we were looking for in our new home. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated Miyana's supportiveness, positive attitude, and experience -- both as a real estate agent and a builder -- throughout our process. She was by our our side every step of the way, from the search through closing, and even beyond. Over the years we have worked with Miyana, she has become more than just our agent but a good friend, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Miyana is the best of the best - the whole package! Before we met her, we’d been looking for a house for 2-3 years and worked with a handful of agents with no particular path forward during the craziness in the housing market. When we met Miyana, I felt that I could finally make our dreams come true to be a homeowner. She is fast-paced but caring and thoughtful at the same time. She always helps us fully grasp different aspects of the house we were interested in - from pricing research and offering to closing and maintenance. She is very knowledgeable and highly connected with top-of-the-class contractors, so we were always given professional opinions on every detail. Miyana can give you PERSPECTIVES and STRATEGIES like no one else from her decades of experiences. Above all, she has a warm demeanor that will calm your nerves and make tough conversations a lot easier with contractors and seller/buyer. Have a plan to sell or buy a property? CALL MIYANA NOW!!

Miyana is very detail oriented, knowledgeable, and most importantly supportive when at times things got stressful during our selling process. From choosing the right photographer, stager or rearranging things in the house, to her communication with potential buyers and their agents, Miyana showed the highest level of professionalism and expertise. Due to her experience and knowledge of the market, Miyana managed to secure the best possible price and terms for our home. Her support and genuine kindness meant a lot to us.

-  I. Stojanovic and Dr M. Makivic - Carlisle

Miyana is the absolute best! My family was able to get our dream home all because of Miyana's proactiveness and dedication. We had been eyeing a home that ended up going off-market, and she did proactively did research to contact the seller's agent to learn more. Due to her expertise, professionalism, and friendly approach, she was able to secure a smooth off-market deal for our #1 home choice. Miyana was knowledgeable and immensely helpful throughout the whole experience. This was the first time we ever bought a house and Miyana made us calm and confident the entire time -- always 5 steps ahead of the process. We are forever grateful to Miyana and still pinching ourselves. We recommend her to anyone looking to find their dream home.

- Yelena and Roy, Sudbury

Miyana was the perfect choice for us when we decided to sell our home. Based on her long-time experience and attention to detail, she recommended the most important things to address before listing our home. She also recommended reasonably priced and responsive contractors to do the work. Her experience and judgment were invaluable in pricing our home and the marketing as well. Miyana’s calm and professional manner eased our concerns throughout the entire sales process. We have already recommended Miyana to friends who are considering selling their homes and will continue to do so. She is a top-notch real estate agent who will represent the best interests of you and your home

- Betsy and Howard, Lexington

It was a great pleasure working with Miyana! For our first home, we needed someone to understand our needs. Her experience and patience, pointing to some things we wouldn't even notice, showed us what professional she truly is. She was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process and made everything feels so easy. We can't recommend her enough!

- M & A Stevanovic, Stoneham

Miyana represented us as a sales agent. During the sale process, our family was challenged with certain personal issues and distress, which could have easily derailed the process.
Miyana stepped up as a trusted and a reliable professional, went well beyond our expectations, and made the whole process seamless and stress-free.
At the outset, Miyana laid out clear expectations of the entire process, including a professional and accurate market assessment, pricing strategy, and contingency planning. Her communication skills, responsiveness and more importantly proactive actions assured us that everything is under control throughout the process.
We would gladly recommend Miyana for any of your real-estate needs. She will certainly have our business in the future!

- B. Amovic Esq., Ipswich

“We highly recommend Miyana to anyone looking for a professional, thorough, intelligent, hard-working and truly kind realtor.  She is simply outstanding!

We have worked with Miyana on two house transactions.  She helped us find a home in the area in 2014, and we were so appreciative of her professionalism and helpfulness that we didn’t even consider another realtor when it came time to sell a family home in 2021.  The sale of the family home came during a very difficult time, and Miyana was very sensitive to the emotional side of the transaction.

Miyana is a true professional – she knows the market extremely well and has a deep knowledge of construction along with an extensive network of contractors.  She was able to guide us through the process from initial exploration through the closing, making all transactions as straightforward and pleasant as possible. “ 

- Christine M., Lexington

“Miyana is a class act! I was introduced to her through another realtor and I am so lucky I was able to work with her. This was my first time buying a property, Miyana went over and beyond to explain the processes of purchasing a home and worked very closely with me to strategize our offers. As someone who used to build homes, Miyana was also extremely knowledgeable regarding the structural aspect of the properties we visited. She made the time to walk through homes with me and investigate the basement, load baring walls, windows (etc) as well as the condition of existing systems. In subsequent visits with an inspector, Miyana was on the money every time with her thoughts and recommendations. Most importantly, I found Miyana to be honest and thoughtful in her approach to business. In addition, she recommended legal and mortgage colleagues that shared her integrity and professionalism. I would (and have) recommend Miyana to anyone, she is a truly an outstanding realtor.”

- Kate Koszka - Reading

“It has truly been a pleasure to work with Miyana. We first met Miyana in 2009, when we were looking to buy our first home. She listened carefully to what my husband and I were looking for and anticipated how lifestyle might change over the first few years of home ownership in terms of starting a family and thus needing space for kids. She showed us a range of houses and advised us on how to make a successful offer. We quickly found a home and neighborhood we loved. She was instrumental in making the home-buying process worry free. When we decided to sell our house in 2021, Miyana was the first and only agent we thought of. She made excellent recommendations for getting the house in shape to sell and was always willing to pitch in if needed. I can understand how that might be a tricky task as it involves getting clients to clean up and put personal items out of sight, but Miyana was always extremely kind and tactful in how she advised us - she helped us see our house through a buyer's eyes. She set up a four-day marathon of appointments and open houses resulting in 7 offers over the asking price. She knew exactly how to leverage the demand for housing into getting us the best possible offer. We were thrilled with how quickly and smoothly the process went. I can't recommend Miyana highly enough!”

- Annie N. PhD and Laurent C. PhD., Bedford

“Miyana was our agent of choice for selling our home in Waltham, MA. Her professional and communicative demeanor, as well as her attention to detail made her stand out amongst other agents in the area. She was able to quickly assess the market, gather the necessary resources such as photographs and measurements, and sell our home within our timeline. She is knowledgeable of the area and goes above and beyond to assist in this complicated process. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area”.

- Mike and Tatiana M., Waltham

“We could not be more happy with the experience we had with Miyana. She has been the most engaged and proactive broker we have ever dealt with. From analyzing the market to crafting a marketing strategy to lining up contractors and service providers, Miyana is always thinking one step ahead. The result is what we would call “concierge-level service”. Every step of the process is well-planned, and proceeds smoothly and without stress or scrambling. In short, Miyana sweats the details, so we didn’t have to. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and stress-free real estate experience.”

- Matt and Christiana C., Lexington

As first time home buyers we were nervous about the home buying process and it made a huge difference to have a dependable and trustworthy real estate agent, who helped us navigate the process and answer all questions.

The home buying process has a lot of moving parts and details. She helped us stay on track with all of the paperwork and provided invaluable advice related to financing and building permits. The lawyer she recommended helped us with some unexpected issues as well.

We ended up buying a home in the town of our choice and within budget.

We highly recommend Miyana, we value her experience with real estate transactions, her passion for homes and look forward to working with her in the future.

                                                                                              - The Bugarinovic Family, Belmont

Speaking from experience working with you - Your success is the result of hard work, intelligence, expertise and a delightful personality. It is no surprise you have “wowed” and gone to the head of your class. Bravo!

                                                                                         - Nancy C., Lexington

After considering a few different options and interviewing number of agents, Miyana quickly differentiated herself as the best choice. She has helped us on two transactions with utmost dedication. First one was the sale of our family home of many years in Lexington, which she handled with discretion, integrity and hard work. She was able to secure the best buyer at the best price, conditions and flexibility. We were very happy with the sale and were equally happy to hire her as our Buyer Agent in Newton. She has handled the purchase with equal quality and was there for us every step of the way. Securing a home in the Seller's market is never easy, however she has handled the transaction with ease, transparency, seamlessly and great success. Do yourself a favor and work with the best - she is our go to Agent and recommend her 100% to you too.”

- K.Russell, Lexington and Newton

“Miyana is one of those unique individuals who not only sincerely loves her work but is extremely good at it and very dedicated. When such combination is supplemented by an outgoing, positive personality, sharp mind and extensive experience, it produces a Super Broker. Miyana’s legal education and the graduate work at the world renown Fletcher School of Diplomacy are great add-ons and explain her superb ability to connect and communicate with a wide variety of people and to successfully negotiate. After being brokered by Miyana on the purchase of our new home outside of her native Lexington, we retained her as a listing broker to sell our long-term Lexington residence. By then, we knew she’d be good to handle the job. However, her dedication, engagement, support, common sense, and the practical and real estate wisdom surpassed our expectations. She was by our side literally 24/7, always foreseeing any possible hiccups and displaying a great sense of timing at each stage of the process. We are pretty business savvy, yet it was very comforting to be lead by someone as knowledgeable and caring as Miyana. She tirelessly held 3 Open Houses on 3 consecutive days, plus numerous private showings, while always successfully handling on her own huge crowds of people, and demonstrated an impeccable finale during the offer negotiation phase. Miyana is one tireless, fully dedicated, talented real estate broker who is also a beautiful person, inside out. We are so happy to have had an opportunity to work with her! One last but not the least detail: Miyana is a master stager with an elegant, stylish taste…”

- Inna R. Lexington

“Miyana Bovan is the best real estate broker I have ever worked with. She is hard working and detail oriented. Most importantly, she has a kind heart and genuinely wants what is best for her clients.  She took the time to make sure our purchase was the right fit. It was a pleasure to work with Miyana and I highly recommend her.”

-Jessica Baum, Lexington

“Miyana coordinated my tricky timeline with home sale and new home purchase needing to align. She was with me every step of the way guiding me through the process of readying my home for sale and maximizing the selling price. Ever the consummate professional, Miyana carefully listened to me and my needs. Her knowledge of the markets in various communities was impressive. Miyana is highly organized, dependable, personable and up-to-date on all the minutiae of details with paperwork. I recommend her unconditionally and will engage her for any real estate needs going forward.”

-Pamela T. Lexington

“Selling a home can be a very personal matter, and Miyana was an excellent advocate for us and our home. She was very knowledgeable and always supportive, with many creative ideas on how to best present our home for sale. She very tastefully staged the house, presenting its best features for viewing. We consider Miyana a warm and caring human being and friend, not just a business woman. She was 100% committed to helping us through every step in the process - from preparing the home, pricing it properly, presenting it to prospective buyers, and closing the deal. We could not be happier with our choice of the agent.”

— Dr. and Dr. Stojanovic, Lexington

“I first contacted Miyana Bovan about the sale of my Lexington home well in advance of making the final decision to sell. Miyana patiently maintained periodic contact with me during the months that preceded my final decision to put the house on the market. When the time came she shared all the market research and consultations used in determining the right price in a challenging market (winter 2009/2010). Her commitment to a successful sale was evident by the numerous open houses and personal showings she arranged. My home sold quickly and within the range she predicted. "Every element of the process was respectful, caring and professional. I have no doubt that all of her clients experience this exceptional level of service.”

— Meg, Lexington

“Miyana helped us find our home in Lexington. She knows the area well and guided us throughout the search and decision-making processes in a proactive manner. Her sophisticated and collaborative approach is particularly suited for professionals who are looking for a partner to guide them towards what they want rather than sell to them. She cares. We’d recommend her highly to anyone who wants to buy or sell their home.”

— G.K.R., Ph.D., Lexington

“Over the past 12 months we have had the unique experience of selling and purchasing two homes and we used Miyana as our Realtor on both occasions. Her professionalism and competence really made the whole process go smoothly from beginning to end and in particular we would like to compliment Miyana's extremely hard-working ethic -- she really made the extra effort. We have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Miyana to any prospective home buyer/seller.”

— Drs. Teddy O. and Edel O., Winchester and Lexington

“I really enjoyed working with Miyana. There were two other agents who approached me when I started looking to purchase a home in Lexington. After my first meeting with Miyana, I knew she was the one I would be working with. She is personable, very knowledgeable and really took time to learn what’s important to us. Our family never felt pressured to settle for a place we did not love. In a seller’s market like Lexington, Miyana showed that she truly cares about her client and took extra time to make sure we made smart decisions when making offers on homes. I will recommended her to my friends who are interested in purchasing a home in the Boston area.”

— Hongmei, Lexington

“We have worked with Miyana on both sides of the home-buying process -- as buyers and sellers. She is the epitome of a professional, going the extra mile to make sure we found the home we wanted, and sold our home at the best price possible. I highly recommend Miyana.”

— Laine E., Lexington

“The several testimonials at this site that have preceded mine agree, independently and unanimously, about the remarkable traits that Miyana Bovan brings to her duties as broker and human being. With great care, intelligence, and sensitivity, she sold the home where I’d lived for 47 years for a higher price than others had told me it was worth; then, deftly and promptly, settled me into a handsome condo at an even better location in the same well-loved town. Thus she acted on my behalf as both seller and buyer, in what could have been a drawn-out, stressful, even harrowing experience, which turned instead into a series of pleasant surprises. The various meetings, interviews, and signing sessions were made enjoyable through Miyana’s attentive presence and her unfailing knowledge, good humor, and the clarity of her advice. Evident throughout was her putting her client’s welfare first, always. Yet Miyana deals graciously with everyone —attorneys, contractors, inspectors, sellers or buyers on the other side of her clients’ business dealings—treats us all with professionalism, consideration, and an utterly winning respect. Her background, in the law, in housing construction, and in all phases of real estate, extends her helpfulness far beyond the basic demands of her service, and the interest she takes in each phase of the social, economic, and emotional transactions that constitute the selling and buying of real estate provides her clients with an experience not only informative but in every sense rewarding. She is a jewel, in short, a gem of precious value; and no one contemplating the buying or selling of a home could do better than to entrust that delicate, complex, and demanding process to her unfailingly competent hands.”

- Phill M. Lexington

“Miyana helped guide me through a difficult decision process when I was about to sell my house and lot. She then priced the package well so that we received several bids, some above the asking price. Finally, through her professional contacts, we sold the house and lot for a great price and the deal went through very smoothly. With her local knowledge and understanding of my requirements, she found me the perfect new home, and that process went smoothly too. I would highly recommend Miyana to others planning to sell or buy in the Lexington MA area.”
