John and Cindy Farrell were fantastic to work with. They made the entire process from thinking about selling through the actual close as painless as possible. I am the type that worries about every little detail, but quickly found that I was in great hands with them and there was no need to worry. I would recommend them to any of my Massachusetts friends preparing to sell! Brian French, Lynn, MA

John & Cindy Farrell are strategic, focused and experienced brokers. Also, very professional. Their marketing expertise proved to be extremely valuable in the sale of our home.  D. Ross, Hamilton, MA 
After talking with a few other real estate brokers, I knew that John & Cindy Farrell were going to be the team that would sell my home quickly (it took only 1 day to sell it, and at full asking price), plus found me a condo that met my extensive list of wants and needs. The only thing I did not get was a trash compactor which is not a big deal considering I got everything else I wanted including 2 deeded underground parking spaces. One broker told me I would never get what I wanted … but I did! This team of brokers exceeded my expectations. Their presentation on my home was so professional and beautifully done. They certainly have the Midas touch. When I had a question (many of them), I always received a response either by phone, e-mail or text. After living in a home for 33 years, it is a bit scary to put your home on the market. However, John helped me though the process. He does have a very calming way about him which was great for me as I was very nervous. John and Cindy’s work ethics are amazing. I wonder if they every sleep. They are always available. So try the best … you’ll be very happy that you did.  J. P Fortunato, Beverly, MA

John & Cindy are goal oriented and results driven. They work hard and they sold my house. It had sat on the market for awhile before I hired them Once they got the listing the house sold.

John & Cindy provided us with professional, personal and active service during the sale of our home. From the start, when they came into our home and patiently and  knowledgeably walked us through the coming process, they gained our confidence and placed us at ease. Their aggressive marketing strategy had our property posted to multiple key sites, resulting in more than 40 groups viewing our home during the first open house. The professional staging and photographs certainly drew many potential home buyers. Throughout the sale, they kept us informed and advised us of the best course of action, regardless of the particular issue. We could not imagine navigating this complex process successfully without them. We are very pleased with the final outcome, the sale of our property in less than three weeks. We highly recommend John & Cindy Farrell to anyone selling their home who wants peace of mind and an expert in their corner.  Mark & Corinne Ray, Beverly, MA 
Both John & Cindy were professional at all times. They understood our needs and worked very hard towards our goals. They also were very respectful of the property to the point of asking clients to remove their shoes.  Jon & Leslie, Hamilton, MA 
It was a pleasure working with John and Cindy. They worked tirelessly to sell our house, and always responded to our emails and phone calls. We actually had a good time selling our house because they made it all manageable and as effortless as it can possibly be!  Jim and Kali Reynolds, Manchester, MA 
John & Cindy are just great. They took care of everything-made us feel at ease when things may not have looked promising and took into account our feeling, concerns, and needs throughout the entire process. It can be really scary as first time home buyers(especially dealing with a new build!), but they truly went the distance to ensure we felt comfortable and even went ahead to provide us with a wonderful mortgage broker (Judy DiRubio) and counsel (Rick Glilmore) – we felt safe all the way around because you could tell they cared and worked together as a true team.  Steve and Aylssa, Salem, MA
John and Cindy were consummate professionals in every phase of selling our home. We were extremely pleased with their first-rate service and tenacious hard work that resulted in a sale of our home, which had been on the market for several years. It was a pleasure to work with them and they had our full confidence. We especially appreciated their responsiveness, reliability, and marketing prowess. They left no stone unturned in their strategy to sell our home and employed the latest technological tools in this regard. We highly recommend John and Cindy!  Chris and Floyd, Cambridge, MA

After working with another realtor for six months in an effort to sell my house, I decided to look for someone who was more proactive and approachable.  In all, I interviewed at least eight well-recommended people.  It did not prove to be a difficult decision, however, because John and Cindy put me at ease from the start with their contagious stress-free attitude and wealth of knowledge.   I also liked that, in an effort to further simplify the process, they were both well versed in the latest technologies.  Because of this and their ready accessibility in other ways, there was never a time I couldn’t reach one of them.  The house received a number of offers while they were handling it, and it sold at a good price for the market within the time frame that they had set.  They also worked with me as I did a rather exhaustive search for something smaller.  Though I grew weary of the process, they continued upbeat throughout and ultimately led me to the right property.  The amazing thing about them both is that, though they handle a great many properties at one time, the individual client is always made to feel that his or her interests are paramount.  I can’t recommend this pair highly enough and am now pleased to call them my trusted friends.  Pat Collins, Gloucester, MA 

John and Cindy Farrell were a breath of fresh air to work with in the sale of our home.  We interviewed several realtors, each one making us feel more anxious than the one before.  We knew exactly what we needed:  a representative to “lower the flame” on our stress level, to price the home fairly, and to sell it promptly.  John and Cindy exceeded our expectations, and we can’t say enough about their professionalism and sensitivity.  They have a calming presence. They showed great respect for us and our property, and they had our house under contract within three weeks. What more can I say?  They are by far the best realtors we have encountered in twelve different real estate transactions.  Lynn Welbourn, Wenham, MA 

John & Cindy helped me sell a vacant piece of land. Due to the recession it was a challenge but they kept up their marketing efforts until it finally moved. I am appreciative of their time and knowledge.  Dan Ottenheimer, Wenham, MA

We have had the good fortune to work with John and Cindy on multiple occasions and every experience has been positive. They are thorough, up-to-date, and know the real estate business inside and out. We look forward to continuing to do business with them in the future. We highly recommend John and Cindy for any of your real estate needs.  TM Hamilton, MA 

John represented the seller in a home we purchased in Gloucester. John did an excellent job for the other side, and negotiated for them an excellent price. He is professional, responsive and knows the business well. Subsequent to the transaction I have used his assistance on some other appraisal and real estate services. I can heartily recommend John to you,he will do fine work for you.
Jim & Lisa Micali, Boston 

We had a hard time deciding to list our home. It’s a discretionary, empty-nest move in a difficult market period, so we interviewed four realtors in our search for consensus and trust. John and Cindy were different from the others. They helped us with no pressure, calm guidance, clear process, complete disclosure, and sensitivity to our ambiguity. We felt they would help us keep our cool, do the right things to prepare the house, and be accessible when we had
questions. As it turned out, the whole process went just as they expected, from listing to showing to contract and closing. The timing and pricing were very close to their target. Even though they are busy with many clients (also a measure of their success), they were responsive to all parties in our transaction. This was a smooth and pleasant sale. Now that
we’re looking for our retirement home, we’re in their hands as cash
buyers, very happily. Dave Welbourn 

I was John’s very first customer when he started as an agent! He endeared himself to me because he was so honest and so good about answering every question I had, no matter how big or small. He’ll be diplomatic, but he won’t tell you something that isn’t true just to make you feel good. In that way I feel he has always helped me buy and sell realistically. Real estate tends to be thought of as just a transaction. I think there’s a relationship component to it as well. I’m a person who feels most comfortable having “my team.” I’ve used the same mortgage person and attorney for every property I’ve purchased or
sold, along with John as a realtor. I just feel more confident that way.
Good luck!  Susan Major, Salem

We have had years of dealing with both John and his wife, Cindy in all matters real estate, and couldn’t be happier or more comfortable recommending someone.  They are both incredibly knowledgable about the area and conditions in the market, and are extremely invested in finding the right match for local properties.  They worked really hard to find the right spot for us 14 years ago, though funny enough we ended up buying the first property John had showed us, after a long and thorough search of several towns around.  I really believe that he knew what would suit us both personally and financially, even if we didn’t!! We’re still here enjoying it every day. John also has handled several transactions for Bob through his former company, relocating new employees and selling parcels of land they no longer needed. He did a great job and brought all to closing in a timely and professional way.That’s probably more than you wanted to know, but you did ask!  I wish you lots of luck with your search, and hope that you have as pleasant and productive a time as we did with John & Cindy Farrell.  Sara Peckham, Wenham, MA

John and Cindy were a huge help in finding us our first home.  We live well outside of their normal working area, but John made many weekend trips out to the middle of MA to house-hunt with us.  He was well prepared with sheets for each house on the schedule that day, and was quick to point out areas of intrigue or concern with each property that we wouldn’t have seen ourselves.  Plus, as first-time homebuyers, we needed a little help with the process.  John and Cindy walked us through every step through closing and referred us to excellent legal and mortgage resources.  They aren’t just good at their jobs, they are also fun to work with and we’ll definitely be using them again!  Thanks John and Cindy!  Nick & Allison Wilnow 

Everything went exactly as it was explained to me, even how fast they thought the house would sell. John and Cindy Farrell are the best at what they do. I could not have asked for anything better. Everything was handled in a very professional manner….. Paula, Peabody 2013 

John & Cindy, We couldn’t have gotten here without your matchless marketing savvy and tireless dedication. From charting the right course to swiftly bring our property under agreement in a very turbulent and uncertain market to being the lynchpin in a negotiation process that was absolutely the most frustrating and idiotic example of bureaucratic hubris and incompetence I have ever experienced. My deep thanks for all you’ve done for us.  Bob & Jennifer Fitzgerald, Marblehead, MA 

Everytime we saw John and/or Cindy – when we first started looking at homes, to when we started visiting ours after we purchased it – they were all smiles, they were warm, encouraging and extremely sweet. They completely looked out for us and always had our best interest in mind – they are phenomenal! Alyssa, Salem, MA
