Jerry Clancy and his son Brad are by far the most knowledgeable people I've ever dealt with in the…read moretrades. They are courteous and prompt in communicating with you. I had a 23 year old wall unit that was on its last legs. Jerry wanted pictures of the unit, model and make, the receptacle and plug configuration, and the exact measurements of the existing unit. The price was extremely fair and the recommendations were spot on. The carpenter Colm and his helper Mauricio were on time, professional, efficient, and left the work area in immaculate condition. If you're tired of the customary run around, do yourself a big favor. Call these guys. You will not be disappointed. Oh, I almost forgot. He sent rebate forms for $220 on the Friedrich unit and a $40 rebate from MassSave. You just can't beat that.

I moved into a building managed by Nordblom, and they have strict policies about A/C installers…read more Concept Equipment was listed as an approved vendor. Now I see why. They know what they're doing, and they do it exceedingly well. At first I thought I'd save money by purchasing air conditioner units from Amazon, but the number of reviews about units broken in the mail didn't make me confident that the discount would be so worthwhile. I could have gone to a big box store, but with crazy heat & humidity, that didn't seem worth the schlep. So I called Concept. Brad was very knowledgeable about the building I was moving into, and he gave me well-reasoned suggestions about BTU size & brands. He also had an excellent sense of humor, which helped put me at ease, as the total extent of my knowledge of A/C units is based on experiences 2 decades ago in Florida. Zach and Ray, the friendly installers, came right on time. The 2 units were up and running in about 5 minutes, with proper holes drilled for frame screws, and weather-stripping insulation in place. Ray went over the operation of each unit thoroughly & patiently--he demonstrated all the digital functions, and also how to clean the filters. I'd never seen window air conditioners properly installed before, and wow, am I ever impressed! So much better looking than any installation I or my friends or my friends' fathers have done. And Brad was absolutely right about the size of the units. Now that I'm moved in, they are cooling the rooms beautifully. It sure pays to pay for quality service. I'm so glad I saved myself lots of aggravation and went with Concept.

Working with eXp Realty, specifically Team Truong with Marissa and Tom, was an absolutely…read moreincredible experience. They helped us navigate not just one, but two major deals simultaneously--selling our current home and buying our forever home. From start to finish, they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Marissa and Tom's dedication and expertise shone through every step of the process. They negotiated with our best interests in mind, handled inspections seamlessly, and even coordinated amazing photography to showcase our home for sale. Buying a new home contingent on selling the old one is no small feat, but they made it happen with ease and confidence. We are thrilled to have found our forever home, and it checks every box on our wishlist: a large yard for the boys to practice soccer, a dream swimming pool, and even the possibility of adding a chicken coop--fulfilling Tim's long-time dream of organic eggs without the price tag! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had Marissa and Tom as our realtors and long-time friends. They've been with us through it all, from selling our first home to helping us with investment properties over the years. If you're looking for realtors who are dedicated, professional, and truly care about their clients, look no further than Team Truong at eXp Realty!

J Barrett has several nice properties. After seeing a home at 16 Lakemans Lane we proceeded to make…read morean offer. The seller and sellers agent were not too friendly although we are from the west coast so thought it was just a geographic issue. I suspected the market price was not the list price and the agent couldn't answer basic questions like room size. There was no acknowledgement that the home didn't have a garage, functional kitchen, or updated bathrooms, and an already established easement you had to deal with. I suspected I should move on but offered on the home and got an appraisal that was accurate. $679000 list price and a $610000 appraisal. Not the bargain they want you to think it is. Don't waste your time getting a ton of negative equity.

Very early on it was clear to that Ed had a vast amount of experience and in depth knowledge of the local market.

This is an update to my review on June 10, 2014…read more Since Merrimack Mortgage did not make my Property Insurance Payments last year (2014) I thought I would try being proactive this year (2015) and make a duplicate payment directly to the insurance company. Even though this would result in an extra ~$2,000 out of my pocket for a short period I figured it was the safest way to protect my home. I did not have confidence that Merrimack would make the payment on time again this year. Unfortunately, Merrimack Mortgage outsmarted me again. They never made the property insurance payment (just like 2014) and refused to accept evidence that I paid the policy in full. To add insult to injury they billed me $2,055 to purchase separate insurance coverage. To summarize, I am being charged for property insurance 3 times - I pay into an escrow each month during the year for taxes and insurance, Merrimack Mortgage keeps this money and doesn't pay the insurance bill, I am forced to pay for the insurance out of my picket to ensure coverage, and then they bill me $2,055 for a second duplicate insurance policy. If Merrimack put as much effort into building their business as they do into screwing their customers they would be a Fortune 500 Company. It is frustrating when you can not choose who services your mortgage if you have a choice I would think twice about Merrimack Mortgage.
