Tim and Jen Goland, North Andover, MA, a seller from North Andover, MA
Nancy Peterson was great to work with. From the moment she first walked into our home and looked around, we could tell that she was the right person for the job. She took her time looking over our home and then sat down with us to discuss what our goals and timelines were. She gave us immediate suggestions as to how we should prepare our house to be sold quickly and for a fair price. She came prepared with local real estate knowledge and was enthusiastic to help us with our sales process. She spoke highly of her J.Barrett Realty team and she was correct in telling us how helpful they would be during the process. Nancy was able to provide us with names of local and quick resources to paint, clean and stage our home so that it would look the best to potential buyers. Nancy was responsive throughout the entire process and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

I did not Know Nancy at the start.
After a week, I felt I knew her for ever.
I trusted her and I found her to be no BS.
I could tell she knew what I wanted, but wanted me to open my mind to other things.
She was great to work with.

Dave Pepper , Manchester, MA , a seller from Manchester, MA
I would've never selected J Barrett for a Realtor because I assumed they dealt exclusively with high end properties. I was pleasantly surprised when Nancy Peterson reached out to me. I was already impressed with the J Barrett Brand but what was most impressive about my experience with the Realtor was the agent herself. Nancy is an absolute credit to the J Barrett brand and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else.

Tomisi Revere, MA, a seller from Revere, MA
Nancy did a great job of helping our family sell the property and relocate to Atlanta, GA. She was able to navigate complexities of our condo association and also help us transition to a local broker to do a back to back deal.

Paola, Danvers, a buyer from Danvers, MA
Due to the competitive nature of the housing market the past two years and being first time buyers, we we're nervous to enter the house buying game. However, from the moment we first spoke to Nancy, we knew we were in good hands- and that sentiment continued throughout the search and purchase of our first home. Nancy was knowledgeable, kind and helpful in guiding us through every step of the process. Thanks to Nancy we we're able to have a hassle free home buying experience, and we are grateful to have found Nancy. Whether you are a first time buyer, or a more tenured buyer, I would highly recommend working with Nancy. We could not be happier!

Mindy Eichhorn, Salem, MA, a seller from Salem, MA
Nancy Peterson and her team were responsive and accessible, knowledgeable, always produced a quick turn-around, and advocated for me as seller. Nancy made the whole process seamless, and we went from on the market to closing in 5 weeks. Nancy was also helpful in providing recommendations for my other needs in the selling process. I highly recommend Nancy and the J Barrett team to represent you as a seller.

John Smith, Danvers, a seller from Revere, MA
Knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with, and ready to solve the problems that arise in any real estate transaction. Highly recommend.

K vandi Essex MA, a buyer from Essex, MA
Nancy is wonderful! Has lots of knowledge and will tell you the truth about any situation. She knows how to take care of business but with compassion and thoughtfulness. She helped us negotiate a great price for our home! Highly recommend.

Anne Bouwer, a seller from Essex, MA
Nancy was persistent and certain of things, but caring too, as the entire experience of staging, for example, was quite a sad one for me in particular. She definitely "knows her stuff", and develops a personal relationship with each of her clients, I would imagine. Nancy had a shoulder replacement just after we met, but still continued to "be there" for us throughout her recovery period, which is of course ongoing, and proves her extreme commitment to her clients and her work. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone selling a house!

Mary & Jeff Miller, South Hamilton, MA, a seller from South Hamilton, MA
We decided to sell our home quickly and Nancy was up to the challenge! With a lit of work from us on the house and a lot of help from Nancy with marketing, we had crowds at our open houses, ending up with 14 offers all over asking price. We credit Nancy for knowing the area market well, setting the right price to get people in and get it sold quickly all without any compromise in our offers. We highly recommend her and her capable staff.

Bekim Bajrami, North Reading, a buyer from North Reading, MA
We worked with Nancy Peterson at J.Barrett and Company on the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old house. Nancy represented us in both buying and selling our homes with so much support throughout the process. She was professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, seasoned realtor, and extremely responsive. She was amazing to work with. She was always available whenever we had a question. She made the whole experience seamless, straightforward and was truly a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend Nancy for selling and buying your new home!

Joblin C. Younger, Esq. , a seller from Ipswich, MA
Nancy Peterson is an exceptional Realtor but shes more than just a Realtor; shes an angel. She recently represented me in the sale of deceased clients home.

This sale presented many unusual challenges, and with no close friends or family available to assist, it was up to me and Nancy. She worked with me to hold an auction of the contents (then a yard sale, and then we made donations to charities, and finally we filled five dumpsters). Nancy had thoughts on how best to present the property for listing, and she had a timeline! She presented me with her plan, including pros and cons, and she was right on the mark on where to spend money to make money. The sale was over and done in a matter of days, and $105,000 over asking.

Whatever you need, Nancys got you covered. We needed painting, landscaping, tree removal, floor refinishing, staging, photographs, permits, and so much more.and Nancy had everyone lined up and choreographed on time. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Brigid ODonnell Wenham, MA, a seller from Wenham, MA

Lorrie, a seller from Ipswich, MA
It was a pleasure working with Nancy Peterson. She did a great job marketing my townhome that resulted in multiple offers over asking price in less than a week. Nancy guided me through the closing process and provided good recommendations for attorneys, packers, movers and cleaning companies. She is a hard worker and was easily accessible at all times. Thank you Nancy!!

Lorraine P. Plymouth, MA, a seller from Beverly, MA
A true professional, helpful in every way, Nancy stands out in crowd of mediocre realtors as head and shoulders above the rest. Her dedication to finding a buyer for my home AND also help navigate the way to me finding the home of my dreams at a price that was within my budget made her an invaluable asset! Thank you Nancy

Otonye and Ronald Moncoeur, Essex MA, a seller from Essex, MA
Nancy's energy, drive, perfectly balanced assertion and vision, were a unexpected and refreshing surprise.

To paint the picture more clearly, prior to working with Nancy, we spent ~2.5 months with another agent, cleaning and staging our home for open houses and appointments, every week - multiple times a week. We did all this while rushing out of our home with 2 children (1 and 4 years old) and another on the way (yes, I am pregnant) and I personally just started a new job. Even with all our efforts, we secured only one solid offer that came in significantly under asking (50K) and other reservations expressed since we were selling with a contingency on finding a new home.

By the time, we pulled our listing off the market, we were done. We just needed a break and were determined to turned down all agents who would try to convince us to sign them on to re-list our property.

Somehow, Nancy convinced me with her professionalism, persistence, and willingness to work at our convenience. Nancy came over the night before thanksgiving day, walked around our home with permission of course... made direct evaluations on some of the weaknesses of our property and used her market analysis to determine what would be the most strategic listing price. By the end of the conversation, I knew she was the person who would help us sell our home, and though we were beyond exhausted from the previous months of trying... we knew Nancy was trustworthy and had truly logical reasonings as to why we should re-list even during the holiday season.

She hired a professional stager to give us pointers on how to make the home more appealing for listing pictures, thought carefully about what the key highlights should be for the listing description and was willing to accept feedback.

Within ONE WEEK of our listing going live, we had an offer at asking price...and by the open house weekend, we had another offer above asking. Being overjoyed is an absolute understatement.

She communicated effectively throughout the negotiations process and never failed to listen carefully to what we needed and/or wanted. It was clear that she was on OUR TEAM. Her intention was to place us in the best position to be able to close the deal.

Even when things got complicated on our end, her loyalty, patience, and kindness never waned. She helped connect us to a lawyer who was willing to come to us to notarize time sensitive documents, helped research information on properties we were interested in buying (even though we had already signed on with a different agent prior to meeting her),... you name it!

Nancy is exceptional. She is brilliant and truly someone that I would highly recommend to anyone who is even considering buying and/or selling a property.

We have no regrets and are truly grateful to her for everything she did for us.
