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. His communication was prompt, accurate, and honest.
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.
John worked tirelessly to sell our property in Medford MA. He is knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and knows his business every which way. I would recommend him with a rating of all the stars in the sky if it was possible.
John guided my family through the entire selling process. His advice on how to show the property in the best possible light was expert, every improvement, repair or adjustment added value to our home. We were able to get over asking price and I credit John Dean for making that happen.
We have both bought a home from and sold a home with John. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and gave us realistic expectations of what our budget would get us. He is an expert on the Cambridge/Somerville area.
