Buyer of 39 Joseph Smith Lane, Boxford
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!

John thank you for helping me secure a great condo in Somerville at a discounted price eleven years ago. I am glad we stay connected and you could help with the sale this summer. Thank you for keeping everyone on task working together to get the deal done --both in the buying process and most recently with the sale. I respect your expertise.
Buyer of 96 Glen Street, Somerville
We met John after arranging a local tour through Zillow. He immediately impressed us with his expansive knowledge about home ownership, both in the legal/purchasing domain and the home ownership/improvement domain. He gave us a no-bullcrap tour, was forthright and honest about the limitations and drawbacks of the property, and his honest opinion on what a good offer would look like. This stood in stark contrast from the other Agents we had been working with, who were mostly interested in getting us into any condo or house, no matter the quality or location. Over the next several months of tours, John was responsive, available, and deeply helpful through every stage of touring, evaluating, and putting an offer in of the many homes and condos we looked at. The search was long and frustrating, but John made it much easier. His experience helped us get tours in the area multiple times, he frequently had the local knowledge to tell us about pros and cons of each property even outside of the structure itself, and his focus was always on making sure the house was a good fit for us, frequently encouraging us to wait for a better option instead of cashing in his payment. The house we ended up getting wouldn't have been possible if John wasn't available for a same-day tour, where he negotiated our offer with the listing agent quickly enough to skip their open house, saving us a potential lengthy bid war. Even after the offer was accepted, John was available to talk and made it clear that he was a resource for us to go to for anything we needed. He's come through on that front, connecting us with great contractors and even offering up some plants to spruce up the garden. John was a class act throughout, was always fun and friendly, and (as I've highlighted) was an extremely trustworthy person in a field which feels like it's trying to take advantage of you. I don't think I could imagine a better agent than him, or a happier ending to our home search.

It was a complete pleasure to work with David to sell my family home and purchase a townhouse. I had previously worked with another agent and there is no comparison to his experience, exposure and expertise in the real estate market. He truly represented my best interest and kept me well informed during the process. He sold my home negotiating top dollar in a difficult market and helped me purchase a townhouse that was perfect for myself and family. I would use his experience again and highly recommend him to others.
