Kevin & Jill Siok
"Thank you, Dan, for helping us get into the house of our dreams. Considering the seller's market in early 2009, Dan was able to sell both Jill's and my condominiums within 90 days. I think that is pretty impressive, given the fact that both of our condos were located on the same street in Salem, so we were competing for the same buyers! Your knowledge of the current market conditions, and resources to make sure "things got done" in a timely manner are definitely what made the sales of both of our homes. You were also invaluable in finding, and closing on, our new home...especially when things got a little screwey near closing, Dan kept all parties on track, and made sure that everyone involved were able to get what they expected. Thank you!"

"Dear Kristin,
We wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all of your help with both the sale of the house in West Newbury and the purchase of our new home in Wilmington.
We couldn't be happier with the outcome of everything and are so happy to hear that the couple who purchased West Newbury are just as happy as we are in our new home.
You did a great job as both our listing agent and buyer agent. As you know, there were many hurdles in a difficult sellers market and a complicated purchase but with your help I'm not sure we would be where we are today. Without your expertise I am not sure where we would be today. If we can ever serve as a reference please let us know. Again thank you for everything!!

The Poliseno Family
"My husband and I have nothing but words of praise for Realtor, Kristin Francoeur. We were in a difficult home sale situation in a climate of economic downturn nonetheless and with Kristin's marketing knowledge and enthusiasm, our home sold quickly and we are now in a wonderful home and a new community for our family within a matter of weeks.
Kristin is always pleasant, answered every question we had, and was available almost around the clock. Her background in law and marketing, combined with an outgoing personality, unfaltering commitment and determination, both on the selling and buying sides, make her a powerful asset to any home buyer or seller.
We truly feel that Kristin has provided our family with a home we plan on staying in for a long time, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch professional in real estate.

"I would like to take a minute to sing the praises of Dan Fox. Dan worked very hard to help me find just the right condo! Weekend after weekend he patiently drove me to see one place to another!
When I finally found "THE PLACE", Dan made sure that the purchasing process ran as smoothly as possible! When issues arose,(and they always do) Dan was always on my side working to get the issues resolved!
I can't thank him enough and would enthusiastically recommend Dan Fox to anyone searching for a home on the North Shore!

Katie and Dane Fawkes
"My husband and I both grew up moving around a lot and so we had extremely high expectations when it came to finding a real estate agent to help us navigate through choosing and buying our first home. We cannot recommend Kristen enough. She was a pleasure to work with and her friendliness and professionalism made this process easy and enjoyable. Kristen's passion for her job and her knowledge of the area really made our decision easy and we couldn't be happier with our new home."

Andrea and Josh Commoss
"Thanks to Dan, we got the house we wanted at a great price. What started as a simple deal, turned very complicated due to the fact that the house was bank owned and had been vacant for a year. Dan's diligence, market expertise, and negotiating skills, combined with his contacts within the community turned a difficult deal into a smooth transaction."

Michael Cafasso
"As I first time homebuyer I did not have a full understanding of the real estate process. Kristin Francouer was amazing as my agent! She was patient with me and was there for every step of the purchase and answered all of my questions as they arose.
Because of Kristin?s recommendations my offer was accepted on the property where I currently reside. Without her understanding of the market and expertise I may have missed out on my home. My first purchasing experience was fantastic? thanks to Kristin?s guidance and professionalism.

Ryan & Sandy LaMontagne
"Dan's attention to detail, follow through, commitment to excellence and work ethic place him in a class all by himself. We had an original comp done by another realtor on our condo for $20k less than what Dan thought it could sell for. Well, Dan was right. In a market where the average days on market was 180+ Dan was able to sell our condo in less than 90 days while also getting the price we wanted for it. The selling price was still higher than the original comp provided by the realtor. This is why we are requesting Dan's services again to purchase a house. If you need a realtor and one that you can trust to work in your best interest Dan is the realtor for the job. The only way for you to ensure you receive the best in a realtor is to go out and get the best. For these reasons and many more we give Dan our highest recommendation and do so without reservation."

Donna & Joe Cannatelli
"I would like to take a moment to thank you for all of your efforts on the sale of 13 Maple Street in West Newbury. Although it was a ?short-sale? and took several months to complete, it was the best experience I have ever had as far as purchasing real-estate. The reason is solely because of you and your excellent communication skills. You are a can-do person and never let anything discourage you or get in your way.
Every time I called, you answered my call or got back to me within an hour. I never felt that I was bothering you or asking meaningless questions. If you didn?t know the answer you always looked into it and got back to us as soon as possible.
Thank you once again for taking on this project and for being persistent and diligent. These are two important traits in a good real-estate person. You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty.

"In the past 11 years we have both bought and sold 4 homes, working with different realtors on both ends of the process.
We had the pleasure of recently listing our home with Kristin Francoeur, and the experience was exceptional.
Kristin brings a passion for her job not easily found in the workplace today. Her knowledge of the market and enthusiasm for real estate
made our experience completely enjoyable and stress free. Whether you are looking to buy or trying to sell, we highly recommend Kristin.

Arthur H. Emery. The Phillips Office.
"Betsy Merry was responsible for the successful marketing of two condominium projects on behalf of the of the trustees of the Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund. Betsy's initial effort on behalf of the Phillips Office was the marketing of a the three unit Phillips Warren Condominium off Warren Street in Salem. Betsy's insights and professionalism were invaluable to throughout the process, and as a result of her keen sense of marketing and pricing, all three units sold within 90 days. The trustees then availed themselves of Betsy's services in marketing the more complicated seventeen unit Orne Square Condominium. Her effort on our behalf was extraordinary, as well as her ability to work with new buyers as well as existing tenants. Alas, there are no more real estate projects for the Phillips Office, but if there were, we would pick Betsy Merry."

Wendell and Janet Leary
"When we decided to sell our home on Federal Street in Salem, we thought of Betsy Merry as the only broker for us. We were amazed at the level of dedication and commitment that she brought to the task of selling our home in a difficult market. The sale of our house was complicated by a number of factors and challenges which could not have been anticipated. Throughout the process, Betsy?s enthusiasm, support, and encouragement were a constant. Our association with Betsy during the sale of our home was very satisfying, and we can without reservation endorse Betsy?s professionalism and dedication."
