I We had an exceptional experience working with Kathy and Terry Sullivan - the Sullivan Team! They are highly knowledgeable and accomplished real estate professionals with over 30 years of experience. They have an impressive understanding of both the broad real estate market and, particularly, the North Shore MA market. They guided us through every stage of the process with professionalism, patience, and thoughtful attention to detail. Their responsiveness and willingness to address every question, large or small, provided tremendous reassurance throughout our transaction. Importantly, they combine extensive expertise with integrity, discretion, and a genuine commitment to their clients. Their marketing strategy was highly effective. As a testament to their marketing prowess, we received multiple offers within a week of our home going on the market. Lastly they are a pleasure to work with and outstanding professionals whom we would highly recommend.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with John in both the purchase of our new house and sale of our old house. John is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish and always has his finger on the pulse of the market. He routinely went out of his way to help us understand and navigate the complexities of the entire process. His communication was prompt, accurate, and honest. He went the extra mile to represent us professionally through what would have otherwise been a very difficult purchase. John was able to negotiate great deals for us on both our purchase and sale agreements amid a turbulent market. I would highly recommend anyone entering the real estate market to work with John. We couldn’t have been more thrilled!

very helpful whenever I called. Wonder knowledge of the market.
We had a wonderful experience working with Alissa on the sale of our condo in Amesbury. What we expected to be a fairly straightforward sale unexpectedly hit a snag right before closing, and Alissa was exactly the person we wanted in our corner. She helped us navigate a very stressful situation with professionalism, creativity, persistence, and a calm, practical approach. She stayed on top of everything, kept communication moving between all the parties involved, and was always looking for the next solution rather than getting stuck on the problem. Most importantly, she just plain gets the job done. Alissa is also incredibly personable and easy to work with. You feel like you have someone genuinely invested in getting you across the finish line, not just someone handling a transaction. We were so happy with how she represented us that we will be using her again to sell another home this winter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Alissa has sold 4 homes for my family. All quite quickly at full price or beyond. She also helped us buy a home recently, giving us great advice on negotiating with the ideal buyer!
