John Dean

John is the best! We were totally new to the world of home-buying and had no idea what to expect and what steps we needed to take. John walked us through the checklist of homebuying, and was extremely patient with us, guiding us through every step: from goal-setting and putting our needs on paper, to visiting properties of interest, to closing! Some highlights we found extremely helpful that distinguish John from other agents: -John has his team of people who will get you to closing seamlessly! I tend to be very thorough and did my due diligence in researching my options for almost every step (lender choice, attorney choice, home insurance, etc): I have to say, I ended up going with John's recommendations in the end. Bottomline: John could save you a lot of TIME (and consequently MONEY). -John was ALWAYS available via phone/text and we knew we could count on him when urgent questions came up or a new listing of our liking popped up that we were eager to visit. He would also brainstorm with us and give us his sincere feedback on the properties we were considering, saving us from some "not so worthwhile" purchases. Bottomline: John is invested in his clients. ALSO, our relationship did not end at the time of closing. John has been tremendously helpful in helping us address maintenance home needs after moving in. Lastly, John has a great sense of humor and made us feel very comfortable from our very first meeting -it felt as if we were chatting with a friend we long knew. He is the person to rely on for the most important and probably most expensive investment of your life, I would recommend him 100% without hesitation!

John surpassed every expectation in the sale of our Back Bay home and I rate him as one of the most skilled negotiators who genuinely prioritizes his clients interests and is skilled and knowledgeable in the economic landscape of his properties. John has steadfastly surpassed the excellence of realtors I have used on 5 other properties I have purchased and sold. I truly dont believe there is a better realtor in the US and he raises the bar on every realtor metric score from accessibility to experience and skill and social IQ!

To start this off, I have not sold any property or purchased any property using John Deans service. That said, I have been working with John for about 2 years now. I called john to sell the family home after my parents passed. A house that has been in the family for 55+ years. A very old New England house with lots of old wood and a few ghosts. I was on the fence about selling. John had the potential for a listing to sell one house and then help with the purchase of a new house. He could have just thought of the bottom line for himself and pushed me to sell the family house, but he spent the time to go over all the pros and con's in keeping the house with no thought of it costing him two commissions. Since then I have sent him a numerous message asking for help and advice. I have found John not to be just a salesperson who is just looking for the next sale, but someone with a great deal of integrity and caring for the people that he meets. It did not matter if there was a sale or not. He has always been willing to spend some time to give me the advice that I needed. A 125-year-old house can be a challenge. I would recommend John without any reservations. Some day when I am ready to sell, he is on my speed dial. You cannot go wrong with John Dean

John is amazing. I honestly cant say enough about how truly wonderful he is. He sold us our first house and dealt with me pregnant and the whole host of emotions that went with it. He not only did it but when things didnt work out with the first lender, he found us another he never gave up and found us the best house for us and what we wanted for our family. Even after our closing he recommended lenders for refinancing just a few months ago. He is with you through the whole process and even after closing. I couldnt imagine having a better experience with a realtor I could trust being especially since we were not experienced home buyers. He gave us tons of advice and help along the way. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a realtor

John is in the minority percentage (10-20%) or realtors that provide the services and market advice for maximizing the sellers goals. He was very attentive in managing the process even with a challenging buyers legal representation. Most importantly, he helped coach/support pricing/staging strategies that proved to be successful due to his knowledge of the real estate climate in the Boston area
