Alissa is knowledgeable, organized and communicative. She told us exactly what to do to prep our home, had a fantastic marketing plan and priced our house right. This lead to three offers in a single weekend and a sale over asking price. She’s the best in the business!
Suzanne, Bianca and team made the home search process very easy for this first time home buyer. They were there to guide me through the process and make sure I understood the benefits and potential pitfalls of each house I saw
Cathy demonstrated great knowledge of the market and expectations of how the selling process would progress. She was on top of every detail. Would highly recommend working with Cathy again for selling or purchasing. She made a potentially anxious process worry- free.
Our experience has been a good one. For the purchase of our lovely home in Newbury we had Tamara the purchase was seemless When it came to selling our home in Newbury, Tamara was our agent again the sale was not without its bumps. I would say this sale was a journey. Tamara helped navigate sometimes difficult waters and in the end, we were very happy. With the services we received.
Sean is an amazing realtor, he was very professional, kind, punctual, helpful, trustworthy and honest. He had all the answers to any of my questions or concerns. He did an excellent job of marketing the property and drawing people into the open houses. He was very successful as he was able to lock us in after the first weekend of open houses. I highly recommend Sean K. Connelley to anybody who is looking to sell their home. He is extremely welcoming and friendly and makes you feel very comfortable and positive throughout the whole process. I will definitely be using Sean in the future when I’m ready to purchase or sell my next property. Thanks again Sean couldn’t have done it without you!
Sean Connelly made something happen for me and my son that we didn’t think was going to be possible! He deserves an award of some sort he has patience he explained everything to us he answered any questions at any time he was there throughout the whole process! I cannot recommend anyone other than Sean and his coworker Roberta was amazing also! The day before the closing my son met with him face to face my son was so appreciative of all his hard work and dedication to us that when he saw him he had to hug him it was an amazing and smooth sale! I highly recommend Sean Connelly and his associates! Thank you for everything!!!
ayuda en todo muy responsable y puntual el mejor sin duda
Alissa is amazing to work with. She is so personable, and passionate about what she does that it really shows. She is extremely knowledgeable and had great ideas for the sale of our home. She got it done after the first showing. Closing was a breeze. Super easy. She is a great communicator and makes you feel that you’re in the right hands. I’d recommend her and her team to anyone looking to sell their home.
When I first met Sean he showed up with a folder of research on my condo, the complex and current market. It wasn't just a friendly meet and greet he had done his homework. I was happily impressed not only with that but with his approachability more than willing to explain anything I had a question about. I also very much appreciated that I mostly communicated with him and his associate Kaylan

Rachel was an amazing Realtor to work with. She was with me every step of the way in the home buyer process. As someone who is young and felt like they were starting from scratch she made me feel comfortable and in control of all my options. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her for your home buying needs!
