This review is specifically for Pete Guiney. We were the buyers for a home that he was the listing…read moreagent for. While Pete did not represent us, he was extremely difficult to work with and made the buying experience stressful for us. We were out of state buyers navigating the logistics and complications of selling and buying a home at the same time. Pete's demeanor was extremely transactional, putting the people element last and was very eager to close the sale by the end of the quarter deadline. He was also challenging for our buying agent to work with and used a lot of passive aggressive tone in his responses. We have used Compass many times in the past for both buying and selling, and this is not the level of care we would have expected to encounter from a Compass agent. To make matters even worse, we felt like Pete was dishonest throughout the process saying whatever needed to be said to close the deal. In the home inspection, there was clear evidence of water staining in the basement with identifiable cracks. Pete kept denying the presence of any water saying that the seller had not observed this at all, yet there was clear photographic evidence of water marks and staining in the inspection report. The seller did agree to repair the cracks using a recommendation and friend of Pete's. Fast forward to the present where we have now closed and moved into the house. To no surprise - we found a leak in the basement and water coming out of one of the cracks (see photo) during a heavy rainfall. We felt completely lied to and the work recommended by Pete was not done adequately (there is no warranty either for the sealing). As of present, Pete has been ignoring our agent's messages. This situation really reflects on Pete's character as an agent having zero regard for the people who buy the homes that he lists. For this reason alone, I do not recommend The Denman Group.

If you've ever bought or sold a home, you already know that everyone seems to know a "realtor" who…read morecan help. I've purchased and sold several properties over the years and have worked with many agents and brokers, on both the buying and selling side. But I have never experienced such a positive, seamless, and well-executed process as I did with Lynne Minchello (and her husband Don) at The Denman Group. They are not your typical realtor team. They operate with a modern, tech-forward, and highly coordinated approach that makes the entire process smooth, efficient, and stress-free. What they deliver is truly a white-glove service in an industry that often feels outdated. For example: the day before the open house, Don was outside mowing a small strip of grass along the sidewalk that the landscapers had missed. He was also holding a hockeystick planning to clear a fallen branch off the roof making sure every detail was perfect. That level of hands-on care is unheard of. And as we approached closing, usually a chaotic whirlwind, I braced myself for all the typical last-minute tasks: meter readings, smoke certificates, utility final bills, etc. None of that stress ever surfaced. Lynne and her team proactively handled everything from replacing smoke detectors, coordinating inspections, even driving to the water department herself to finalize the bill the day before closing. All I had to do was approve things periodically. It was that easy. Even with everything I've shared here, I still don't think I can fully express how exceptional these people and this team truly are. They are pioneers in their industry, and if you're buying or selling a home, you absolutely want them in your corner. I cannot recommend The Denman Group strongly enough.

I wanted to share my awesome experience with Andy Wilson with ERA Key and how they helped me…read moreselling my condo in chelmsford in 3 days of listing! I got Andy's flyer on the mail for a "free appraisal " and i said why not. At that time i already had wasted a month with another realtor who kept saying "you need major upgrades to sell" which included a 12k kitchen remodel estimate! Andy on the other hand had all the inventory details in our first meeting and shared the selling price of similar houses in the area and gave me the comfort level and confidence . I ended up hiring andy and firing the other agent! We had moved out of the boston area and andy pretty much ensured that all the work cleaning, painting, junk removal etc were all done without me even being present there. Once the work was complete, andy listed it for a price that covered all our out of pocket expenses and the house went contingent at asking price in 3 days!! He helped us with getting the legal documents in place and the condo clearance and the inspection items cleared and ensured that the money was wired in without us even being there for the closing!! I would highly recommend Andy and his team in the Merrimack area for his thorough and professional approach to all your real estate needs!

Townhouse Sale…read more 11/30/22 was the closing date on my townhouse sale: 142 Morgan Drive, Haverhill, MA 01832 purchased on August 9, 2019. I cleared over $100,000 on the sale.

Also remarkable because I had already moved to NC. We were able to complete the sale remotely.

How great is it when you not only like your real estate agent, but he is a true professional as well, always looking out for what was best for us. Mike helped us negotiate a great price for our new home in Los Angeles (seller's market) as well as making sure we got top dollar for the home we were selling. We chose Mike because he was brought in to take over a Redfin listing near us which hadn't sold after stalling for months. Mike sold it in a week. Once we saw how efficient and effective Mike is, we knew he was the agent for us. It's been a pleasure through and through, and since Mike and his wife had a baby during our listing, we feel like he's part of our family. If you are looking for a stellar realtor, look no further, Mike is your guy!

He was honest and let me know that the timing wasn't right since I wouldn't make any profit in the market at the time. We kept in touch over the years and he let me know that this year was the year to sell and boy was he right!! He advised me from beginning to end. My condo was sold with a cash offer in 6 weeks without needing to do any updates! His expertise about the market was invaluable from how to set up the condo, to having his photographer come in, to having an open house which drew in ~100 people that led to 3 solid offers. All of this was done by the way while I was out of state and I could only come to town once since I have a 7mth and 3yr old. Overall he's an awesome real estate agent and I would recommend him to others in a second! - Latoya Davis

When I met with Shawn, he laid out and presented his plan on how to properly put our home on the market. He detailed his strategy for getting the property ready, generating buzz for the property, bringing in serious buyers, and running a successful open house. Within days of the open house, thanks to his advice, we received multiple offers well above our list price! Throughout the whole process, Shawn guided us every step of the way to get our home sold. There was not one time I felt uneasy - Shawn was very proactive and was always there to answer any question I had. Words cannot describe the level of professionalism of Shawn and his team. One regret I do have is that we didn't find Shawn earlier to aid us in buying our previous home - there is no doubt that he would have been able to provide us with just as great of service! So do not let my regret be yours and DO consider Shawn and his team if you're looking to buy or sell your home. Thanks Shawn, it was great working with you.
