John did a phenomenal job helping us to purchase our very first home! We were complete novices and somewhat intimidated by the seemingly complex, multi-step process of buying a house. Nonetheless, our feeling of trepidation transformed into one of calm and reassurance immediately upon enlisting John’s help. He graciously took us under his wing and held our hands every step of the way. This included John dedicating innumerable hours providing detailed answers to our hundreds of questions, many of which and if not most, were probably silly! John’s broad knowledge of houses was highly impressive to say the least, and we particularly appreciated his guidance in highlighting house features that were desirable as well as potential red flags. He was extremely prompt in responding to all our inquiries, booking private house showings (even same day requests!), and meeting us on time, often arriving well before us to thoroughly investigate properties. John struck the perfect balance of allowing us to proceed in the driver’s seat at our own pace while casually checking in with us at times to offer his encouragement and assistance along the way. He saved us countless hours of research by connecting us to his reputable, diverse team of inspectors, insurance agents, attorneys and legal professionals, etc. If you’re in the process of choosing an agent, John is beyond any doubt the guy for you!

John was fantastic from start to finish. He knows the Boston market, was responsive to all of our questions, and he’s a straight shooter who is deeply grounded in his client’s best interests. When we looked at properties he had a keen eye for structural issues we should pay attention to, and good perspective on what was typical for the age of the building and what indicated neglect. He also brought a fantastic network of referrals who were equally top notch - mortgage broker, lawyer, inspector and handyman. We felt taken care of from start to finish and beyond (the contact didn’t end when the contract was signed). We highly recommend John without hesitation and hope to have the opportunity to engage him again.

John is a true professional. He's very experienced in realty, he knows his stuff, and he's not afraid to voice his opinion, but will still work with you to get the goal you want. John has been our realtor for both a house purchase and a house sale. You can tell he has a passion for houses, and for doing things right.

John was great helping us navigate buying a condo as first-time homeowners. He was responsive to all of our many questions and had great insights on different locations throughout Boston. He also had connections to any other service we needed making the whole process smooth and painless.

Very much appreciate John Dean’s expertise and experience with real estate in the greater Boston area. At every stage of the sale he made the right call and ultimately got amazing results. He also taught me a lot about the process, what to anticipate, and how to interpret the inside ball. Would recommend him to anyone.

He made our first home buying process very easy, he walked us through the process step by step and we ended up finding exactly what we were looking for and got it. Wouldn't have been able to without his help!

John did a great job walking us through our first home buying experience. His negotiation skills are simply impressive, we found exactly what we were looking for and he made sure we got it! so glad we crossed paths!

John Dean is the very best! It took us three years to find our home and he stuck with us through it all. He was patient and very realistic about the market and trends that we were likely to see. Additionally, he has an expansive network of providers that are necessary in the home-buying process and beyond, and all of his recommendations were also phenomenal. I cannot imagine ever going with a different real estate agent should we sell our home and a buy another in the future.
