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.

I’m looking to sell and decided not to contact this agency when I found out my former agent Gail works for them . Not only did she meddle in my divorce, she almost rendered me, and my children homeless,so she could make a sale. Your best interest is not in her heart . Great company poor agent.

My daughtar used them to buy a condo. Rep was awful they got swindled on there purchase and sale and the night before the walk through they shut off the electric. I trusted them and did the close the next day. And discovered the heating and central ac was not working 8,000 later we had to replace it. Called the Barrett realistate didn't care. I should have stopped the sale. The owner was very rude. The complex that she bought from has banned all reps to sell condos in her complex and the 400 unit complex up the street.

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.

BUYER BEWAREBought 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.

Inquired about an apartment in Swampscott through Hotpads. Ended up being contacted by Justina Oliver of J Barrett and Company in Beverly. I provided requested documents and asked for showing times to see the property and she responded with a single 2 hr slot midday in a take it or leave it offer. From the instance she introduced herself she was very dismissive and uncooperative. High disregard from Justina Oliver.

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!

Bad listing agent . I have offer the single house in Jefferson ave ,salem with the highest price but this listing agent never work with the seller to treat me a as a first choice . They decide to go with the lower price without letting me know. Do not work with this listing company so you don't have problems with your time .

We recently sold our home in Peabody, MA with Jenny May as our listing agent. She was a pleasure to work with through every step of the process. She knows the North Shore very well and has many contacts that were useful to us (handy man, a great attorney, etc.). She knew the ins and outs of the transaction very well and always kept us informed. Jenny was willing to work as slow, or as fast as we wanted to sell our home. Originally it was slow and we told her "next year". All of a sudden, we wanted to sell immediately so we could buy a new home we had fallen in love with. She made it happen! We had a signed offer within 5 days of listing it. If you are looking for a very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant agent to work with, Jenny is perfect!

I don't know about the legitimacy of the reviews here. This is in reference to J.Barrett & Company. Terrible service. Inquire about a property once, twice....no response. Evidently, they don't need the business. Good for them, I guess.

What can I say? Jenny May was such a breeze to work with! We are first time home-buyers, filled with anxiety, and Jenny made everything so easy. She was always available, always ready to act, very responsive, and super kind and understanding. One of my favorite aspects of working with Jenny is that almost everything we needed to do, we were able to do electronically. We found ourselves in the awkward position of having to make an offer while traveling, which meant that we weren't available in person, or even near a computer... but that was okay, because she was able to send us what we needed to our phones! The future has arrived! She made every step manageable, even down to e-signing documents via smartphone! It was great. She was so easy to work with, so understanding, and I will totally recommend her to any prospective home buyers! Go Jenny!

I recently decided to sell my Salem, MA condo. Jenny May's name is well known throughout the North Shore and I know she's been in the Real Estate Business for quite some time so she was my first choice. My condo sold in a very timely manner (within 2 months). Jenny made the process incredibly easy for me and helped me understand exactly what I needed to do, what was happening, our next steps, all of it at a pace that didn't overwhelm me. She gave me sound advice and dealt with my initial "not sure if I am ready to do this" having had the condo for so long. She's very patient, straightforward and VERY easy to work with. Jenny went beyond the call of duty with items that needed to be done for me since I am over an hour away (living full time in Maine). If I know anyone looking to buy, sell or rent, I will pass along Jenny May's card!
