Jessica came very highly recommended from a co-worker, who just happens to also named Barrett, and…read morehis wife Susan. It was a very serendipitous encounter, away from the workplace, outside of Home Depot. We were making one of many runs there when we bumped into them and told them how we were doing fix-ups & preparing to sell our house FSBO when they told us about this wonderful experience with Jessica Brown and how she handled all the details, listed and sold their house in only a matter of days. Iylt sounded amazing and we looked her up on the RE/MAX Experts site and her Facebook page and got a good impression. However my sweetheart's super close friend Jenny, that she went to school with for 16 years just happens to be a big shot top selling RE/MAX real estate rep in Massachusetts and she called her to get her advice before proceeding. Jenny did some checking, called Jessica and made all the arrangements for a meeting.
Day one Jessica came to our home, we talked about our 26+ year history with the house, all the previous and current upgrades, about Jenny :-) and became acquainted. Jessica was
friendly, professional and very prepared with research on ours and area houses, literature and some excellent advice and recommendations. Armed with a strong personal recommendation, a professional recommendation from a trusted friend and that excellent meeting, we were felt very comfortable and confident that Jessica Brown was the right person to facilitate this momentous and very important transaction.
There's so much that happened over the next few weeks while we finished all the updates we had already started like new doors, floors, painting, etc. and the exhausting & arduous task of packing, selling and moving 7 rooms & 26 years of stuff so we could ready the place for Jessica's professional photographer to place the ads she was preparing for our listing. While all that was happening Jessica kept in regular contact with us by phone, text and email and we did contact her more than a few times for advice and general questions and I've always been happily surprised that she would get back to me right away, even we I would send out her a late evening & weekend email. Her photographer did a great job making our place look really great, she sent us all the pics as they were being taken and she did lots of extra stuff like finding & arranging for a thorough deep cleaning service and a bug inspector. She even collected our mail, some items we left behind (like our Red Sox gnome) and boxed them up to mail to us. She actually did quite a few other things that went above and beyond what is expected of a real estate agent and always cheerfully with a smile.
All of that which finally led up the very first showing of the house on the very first day of the brand new listing and BAM she got an offer!! Just like that all the preparation, hard work and planning paid off with just a single showing of the house, WOW!!
That was a few weeks ago and when we drove back up to sit down with our good friend, and closing attorney, Mack Crutchfield earlier guess who drove out to be with us, yep it was Jessica. So from the very first day we met until the last minutes of our closing Jessica has been there to answer all our questions and help make this otherwise tedious process a smooth and relatively stress-free experience.
Bottom line, you don't have to just take our word for it but the other Barrett & his wife Susan, Jenny and a host of others on Jessica's Facebook page, over the years, are a testament to a dedicated, sharp, friendly, organized and detail oriented professional that gets results.
What started with hand shakes weeks ago ended in big hugs outside our attorney's office because we are thoroughly pleased and grateful, thank you Jessica!!
