If you are moving to Townsend, the best agent for you is the one who sells here every week, knows the villages and the corridors house by house, and will tell you the truth about a home even when it costs the sale. Here is how to judge that, and where I stand in it.
Questions to Ask Any Agent
How many homes did you sell in Greater Lowell last year, and how many in Townsend or its neighboring towns? What is your plan when a listing gets twelve offers by Monday? Who reads the contract, and what do you check beyond the price: septic, flood, tax card, school assignment? An agent who answers those crisply, with numbers, is an agent who does this daily. An agent who answers with adjectives is not.
What a Top Agent Does for a Move Like Yours
For a relocation into Townsend, the work is mostly before the offer: narrowing the town's areas to your routine, pricing off street level comparable sales, flagging the septic, well, and flood homework on outer roads, and knowing which listings are about to move. After acceptance it is deadlines and documents: inspection window, purchase and sale, mortgage commitment, smoke certificates, and the 6D on a condo. I run that checklist personally on every deal.
The Track Record, Stated Plainly
I am the #1 selling agent in Lowell, ranked #1 in the city again and again, including in 2024 and 2025, with 107 transactions across Massachusetts in 2025, 71 of them in Lowell. I am one of Greater Lowell's top-producing agents, I personally sell 100+ homes a year across Greater Lowell, and I have 3,000+ career transactions. Doherty Properties, the company I lead, has handled over $1 billion in real estate transactions. I bring a legal background to the contract work: I am a former prosecutor who ran the Lowell District Court, and contracts are read in my office the way lawyers read them.
