J. Barrett & Company

My boyfriend and I went into our house search with very little experience or background, and a healthy amount of nerves to be fair. Working with Nicole LaPointe we felt so much better from day one! She was helpful throughout every step of the process, and struck the perfect balance between managing an intense market but not letting the two of us feel pushed into a house or decision. Her 24/7 responsiveness, expertise, and guidance made the difference for us and I was so happy to work with someone who could make buying a home as simple as possible.

BUYER BEWARE Bought home from them - on move day - house was locked and no way of entry was provided by J Barrett. Had to wait an hour for locksmith to get us in. Moving company was waiting at 150/hour. J Barret refused to pay this hour even though it was a direct cause of their error. House that was purchased had mold but this was not disclosed. Denied some of the information on their sell sheet after the house had been sold. Not trustworthy - beware if you are buying from them

Kate Richard from J. Barrett is the listing agent for a condo in my building. During an open house, my dog sitter had accidentally parked in the wrong parking spot. Rather than realizing a simple mistake had been made and allowing my dog sitter to move her car, Kate called a tow truck and was incredibly rude and unprofessional. My dog sitter was ready to move the car and told her she just needed to put the dog in the house and she responded “no, you need to move the car now.” I couldn’t imagine allowing someone like this to list my property. Take your business elsewhere.

We had a truly great experience working with Daniel Meegan & Tammy Albano at the J. Barrett Beverly office. They did everything possible to help us find the perfect first home, and it is evident that they truly have their clients' best interests at heart. Our highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

I worked with Lisa McGinley to find a new apartment when trying to relocate from a negative landlord situation. The rental market in Massachusetts is outrageous right now as we all know, so I was anxious going into the process but she helped me find the perfect place. Very helpful and transparent.
