It took me a while to write this review because it was hard to put into words just how amazing of a…read morerealtor Judie is. Really, the best of the best. I was looking for a house in Salem for 4 years. I toured countless houses, and tried working with a few realtors. Most of them would just pressure me to buy a house that I wasn't interested in. Then I linked up with Judie, and two months later she helped me find my dream house. She gave me a heads up before the house even hit the market. During the process of closing, anytime I didn't know something, she had the answer, and anytime I needed a contractor, she had someone who had a better price and quality than anyone I could find. Most importantly whenever there was a problem, she had a solution and took initiative. On top of that she is such an unbelievably pleasant person that you could discuss anything with. Buying a house can be stressful, but she made it such a smooth experience. Now she is helping me sell my condo, and as I am about to put it on the market she brings those same attributes, making the selling experience so much more manageable with a busy work schedule. To sum up, Judie *will* help you find your dream home (or sell it). With her experience, expertise, and connections she will make the process smooth. Most importantly her wonderfully kind personality will make you feel at ease knowing you're working with a master of the trade. Thank you Judie, you're the best!

Her patience, understanding, attention to details, and thoughtfulness made the process as painless as it could be. Judie went above and beyond to make sure that myself and my neighbors were protected and safe from visitors during showings and open houses in the middle of a pandemic. Her legal knowledge shines through when it needs to, which saved tons of headaches! Judie was always available to help or just chat when I was nervous about the selling. She kept in contact throughout the process and the pandemic. She cares and knows her stuff! I could not recommend a better realtor. Judie's support and expertise are second to none! I can't imagine having worked with anyone else and am glad I found her!!!

Initially, I was looking for a condo in the Salem area and Colleen was quite assertive with sending me properties that matched my interest. She was very patient and accommodating, working with my schedule, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Colleen, as she has great insight and knowledge of the North Shore. She is very professional, easy-going, and you feel comfortable working with her and expressing your thoughts - which she then uses to find better matches to your search! 5-stars, she's as good as it gets!

I worked with Joanne who was wonderful to work with. I believe Joanne was retired or was about to retire, and I think this company is run/owned by her son, John. (Sorry if I don't have that exactly right!) I had been new to Massachusetts in 2012, and Joanne gave me all the intro information I needed in order to get comfortable in Salem. She told me about great places to eat, about great spots to get inexpensive furniture, as well as other helpful information. She even gave me a ride back to the train because it was cold and late. I just wanted to leave a review since even after a couple of years have passed, I still remember how easy/positive it was to deal with Harbor Rental! If I were to move locally, I would go to this company first. My impression was that they are good people and that they really know Salem.

Rich Rosa was fantastic.

If you're an engineer type like me, he'll give you a spreadsheet market analysis, if you are are more mood and feel, he will speak to that. 5) Great negotiator 6) Super punctual and responsive, we pulled off a 30-day closing window which wouldn't have been possible w/o Rich's professionalism I could go on. So glad we found him.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

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!

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

If Harborside Realty as a team is anything like Dick McKinley as an individual, then I give them an A+. I highly recommend Dick McKinley as your go to guy for real estate. Dick is super professional, never intimidating and he's so friendly that you just want to buy what he's selling (no strong arming needed)! Dick always responds to email and phone calls promptly which is so important in real estate. I had a question (unrelated to the property) that Dick was unsure of and he made a call on the spot to get the answer for me. He took the time needed to show us the property and never made us feel rushed the way some other local realtors had done. Again, if you're looking for a realtor or property, check out Harborside Realty and Dick McKinley!

Thank You Matt, Dick and Mike for taking the stress out of what is often a stressful transaction.
