Why Work With Us?

Excellent experience in buying our new home with John as our agent. John quickly picked up on our requirements and his knowledge of the area helped us to find the right home for us. He stayed with us through every step of the negotiation and purchase process and made sure that everything came off without a hitch. I highly recommend John.

John recently helped my husband and I buy a condo in Salem, MA. He was super helpful throughout the entire process, and always very quick to respond whenever we reached out with a question or request, no matter the time of day. He also would periodically give us updates when we were waiting for answers from sellers' agents, even if he was still waiting on a reply from them, which was much appreciated as it helped ease our anxiety during what can be a stressful experience. John also was able to give us a lot of guidance into what the market was like which ultimately led to us being able to make good, competitive offers within our budget. We had a wonderful experience working with John and highly recommend him to others!

Pauline,

We want you to know how much we appreciate all you did in the sale of our home. Your knowledge and professionalism goes unmatched.

Most of all we are so grateful for your kind and thoughtful way throughout the whole process. Forever grateful.

Hi Pauline, 

Marilyn and I really appreciate all you did to help us and I really enjoyed working with you on all the strategy and timing issues that were necessary to make things work out in the end.  We could not have done it without you making all the right moves.  Tell John to keep me in mind if he has a spare Patriots magnet in the future.  

Michael and I wanted to thank you for the house warming gift. We appreciate all you have done in the home search. You made us feel like we were you’re only client. We’re fixing up the house and so excited to see it finished. Thanks again.

“I’ve worked with John McCarthy several times over the past 7-8 years. He has been working in this area for a long time and is very knowledgeable of the market here. We were working with a different broker trying to sell a condo in Salisbury and it wasn’t going well at all. I spoke with John and immediately knew he was the one for us. Within 2 weeks we had the condo under agreement and it was sold in less than 30 days all in. Couldn’t have been happier with John’s service. I’ve recommended him to several people since and get the same feedback. It is important to have a GOOD broker when making one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. You need someone with experience and knowledge to help you with the process. I was sent to John by someone I trusted and I was very pleased so I’ve passed his name along to others so they too can have the same experience and excellence in service that I got from John.”

Sold a home in 2005 in Salisbury, Town of Salisbury, MA 01952.

“I first met John about 8 years ago when he sold my house in Georgetown. He was (and is) very professional, knowledgeable and effective. He has a very good understanding of the real estate market and is extremely hardworking.”

Sold a Single Family home in 2005 for approximately $475K in Georgetown, MA.

“After selling property over a year ago and having a horrible experience with the realtor we agreed on. My husband and myself knew that when it was time to sell our home in Rowley john was the guy we needed! Within the first week of listing our home he had an immediate open house the weekend that followed. He was extremely easy to talk to and would communicate via email and text knowing that my husband and self work full time. He was always open and honest about anything we could do on our end to make the sale of our home a success, which it was!!!! Not only would I refer John to anyone looking to sell or buy a home but we can’t wait to have him help us find our forever home!”

“My wife and I searched for houses for over 2 years, and dealt with a number of buying and selling agents throughout the process. Meeting John McCarthy was a true breath of fresh air and a ‘game changer’ for us. John was so knowledgeable about the communities we were looking at, and quickly got us answers to all of our questions. He shepherded us through a fairly painful negotiation process once we made an offer, and ultimately helped us come to an agreement we are very happy with. We are still in the house we purchased when working with John in a community we love. Most of all, while John is a professional through and through, he is also really easy to work with. He helped us laugh at some of the most stressful moments and we truly enjoyed working with him.”

Bought a Single Family home in 2008 for approximately $500K in Rowley, MA.

“John’s negotiating skills are a huge plus for all sides. When I bought a condo, he was able to find just the right offer price, so that the seller would accept. When selling my home of 32 years he was just as skillful at negotiating the details of the closing costs and tempering the buyers with their sometime infuriating requests.”

Sold a Multi Family home in 2010 for approximately $450K in Rowley, MA.

“My husband & I highly recommend John McCarthy. We hired him out of the blue – not knowing the town, school system, the area…..nothing and the first house he showed up was the “one.” He led us thru the process which we new nothing about being first time home buyers. He is very professional and has the perfect personality to make a buyer (in our case) feel at ease about such a huge decision. Now being in town with him for so many years we see him so involved in in the community – he seems to have a real passion for the area and the people.”
