John J Dean Jr

John was a constant source of knowledge and support throughout an unusually long period we experienced between P&S signing and closing due to the nature of the new project we purchased. He is a great communicator- he kept sellers accountable while keeping me informed of developments. It was a pleasure working with him!

Never visiting Boston or actually looking for a home there was overwhelming. We made several trips there over different weeks to hopefully find the perfect place. John helped us to look at numerous houses explaining what to look for and what not to look for. We looked on-line and found a few but he was quick to send us a website with all the local condos for sale within the areas that we were looking at. He even was able to point to a few that were coming on the market shortly. He really listened to what we were looking for and having lived in the same area before was able to point in the right direction on several places. He helped by understanding our needs and limitations while looking for our wants and wishes. In the end, am not sure how many condo's we actually looked at but it was several. Ultimately we were able to find a great place that we will have for a very long time. All of the staff we worked with were helpful and made us feel welcome to our new home.

We have used John as our realtor to buy and sell properties in the Medford, MA area. His knowledge of the area and real estate market is second to none. We have always been very comfortable when John is negotiating for us. I would highly recommend John for your next real estate purchase or sale. You will not be disappointed in your choice.

John proved to be an excellent partner for this important journey in someone's life: buying a home. He is a person with a long experience and patience. Sometimes making a decision like this takes time, and John had to show me several homes over a year and a half until we found the one that felt like home and checked all my boxes. Something important about John is his personalized follow-up, sending new opportunities that come on the market each week that specifically fit my needs and are not generic. He is someone who listens and quickly understands what you are looking for and how to balance that with what you have as a budget. A big difference with other agents is that he doesn't push you to go over your budget but he works hard to find what you want within your budget. Another good thing about John is that, thanks to his many years of experience, he knows everyone in the industry, and for people like me who are new to this and new to the city, it makes the process extremely easy because he points you in the right direction toward lenders, lawyers, contractors, etc. At one point, I thought about buying in another city, and he quickly gave me the contact information for another agent. I had to sell my previous house in another city, and he helped me with his contacts. His company works all over the country and also in Europe, which means you're pretty much covered anywhere with him. He's very good at communicating your needs to sellers. In my case, since we had to fix some things, he got a discount that was equivalent to the cost of the repairs. His good humor, seriousness, and competence mean that if I ever sell or buy again, I'll call him because he's already part of the family. note: he noticed how nervous i was with repair, so as a house warming he gave me an insurance policy for the repairs, that is the kind of guy he is.

John always made time to answer my questions and offered additional information helpful to me throughout the process.

John is an experienced professional and it showed. He had industry contacts that helped throughout our renovation process and was in tune with the market. Sold our home for over asking price.
