"I am truly humbled and deeply grateful," said Goneau. "Every vote represents a family who welcomed us into one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. For over 30 years, it has been my privilege to help people buy their first homes, sell homes filled with a lifetime of memories, and move into their next chapter."

Goneau holds the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designations, reflecting her focus on guiding older homeowners and their families through later life transitions with care and clarity.

The team approaches every client relationship as a partnership, and many clients return for their second and third moves or arrive through referrals from friends and family who have worked with Goneau before.

"This award belongs to our clients, so many of whom have become friends over the years," Goneau added. "We are so thankful, and we look forward to serving MetroWest and Central Massachusetts for many years to come."
