ReviewJames is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable realtor who has helped us navigate both renting an apartment in the city and now buying our first home. He held our hand through every step of the process and ensured that we were always prepared and informed for the ups and downs of the buying process. He was always available to answer even our smallest questions and made sure our interests were well represented in all negotiations. Not only is he a great realtor, he is really a terrific person and we are grateful to call him our friend. We can?t recommend James and his wealth of knowledge enough.

ReviewI have dealt with a lot of realtors and I can honestly say James is THE BEST realtor I have EVER dealt with. He listens, does the research for you and gets you what you need all while being extremely kind. He is very passionate about what he does and he truly wants to help you buy or sell at the price you want. He has done both for me...he helped me purchase my first home, he then helped me sell it and he also helped me buy my 2nd home. And when its time to move, I wont go to anyone else but James. I how consider James a friend rather than my realtor. Like I said, he is simply THE BEST out there and a pleasure to work with and talk to.

ReviewJames was highly recommended by a colleague and he lived up to the recommendation. James was very responsive and went out of his way to help us along the process (he even drown down from New Hamshire once to look at a property with us.) James was very knowledgeable about the home-buying process. He is also very personable and maintains a relationship with us even months after closing the deal.

ReviewWorking with James was great! The first apartment that I was trying to get fell through but he quickly found another one for me that was in the same area, within the same price. He is so comfortable to work with and doesnt feel like a salesman trying to get an extra buck. He helped me through every step of the process, and even with my 1,00 questions he never made me feel like a bother. I would 100% recommend him!

ReviewJames was a fantastic advocate for this very nervous first-time home-buyer! Ive had previous experiences with less than stellar agents so I really appreciate the difference a good agent makes. James really understood what I was looking for, and despite my own diligent searching, he was the one who found the listing I ultimately purchased! I was also very impressed with his expansive knowledge of the Boston market. The years of experience really show! He was very informative and offered great guidance when I was deciding on an offer. He negotiated on my behalf with the sellers agent to craft an offer that met my specific needs AND was accepted within the hour! Basically, James is a make-it-happen guy. For every problem I encountered, he found a solution, for every question he found an answer. And he was incredibly thorough in making sure I had all my is dotted and ts crossed throughout the very stressful home-buying process. Id happily recommend him to anyone who needs an agent wholl always be in their corner!

ReviewMy husband and I just purchased our first home with James being our buyers agent. We were so glad that we found him!! He has been so helpful to us throughout the whole process, from arranging tours all the way to signing the closing documents. James carefully listened to what we wanted (or what we thought we wanted lol), made great suggestions but at the same time kept our wishes and situations in mind first. In addition, James helped us out with providing all kinds of great references that went beyond just purchasing a new home (e.g., he recently referred a nanny to us after hearing that were having trouble locating a good daycare option). He also made sure were well taken care of with regard to our loan options, legal representatives, and home inspection. We literally did not have to worry about anything! We would highly recommend James for anyone whos in search of a real estate agent. If we ever find ourselves in the market again, James will definitely be our go-to person!

ReviewI had an amazing experience during my home buying experience with James. He was very helpful in identifying numerous houses for us to evaluate based on the criteria my wife and I provided and took the time to visit them with us despite only giving him one week of notice. He provided a very comprehensive booklet containing a summary for each property that was helpful when visiting the houses. James was available day and night to answer our questions and was very involved throughout the entire buying process. He also has a large network of other contacts for related services (i.e.: banking, law, etc.) that we were able to utilize. James is very candid and was always looking out for our best interest. I could not recommend James more.

I would definitely recommend him!

ReviewMy husband and I first worked with James when renting on our move from CA to Cambridge. He listened and showed us great properties across the city - we had a great experience so we engaged with James again as we explored buying our first home. James was incredibly helpful for first time home buyers. He thoroughly explained every step of the process and referred us to reputable people for various steps in the process (e.g. inspectors). James went above and beyond looking for off market homes when we knew the neighborhood we wanted but were not seeing specific homes listed that met our wishes. He also was very honest if he previewed a home from our list and didnt think it met our standards or needs - we greatly appreciated this as it saved us time. James was very responsive and helped to navigate our travel schedules for both the search and closing process. We have recommended James to several friends and family in the area that are in the search process.

ReviewI recently moved from New Jersey to Boston. Our real estate agent James Lynch helped to make the experience of purchasing a new home a positive one. Amazingly, the home we bought was the first one James showed us. He advised us on strategy for getting our offer accepted and through the whole process was responsive, honest, and a great advocate. He provided referrals for everything from contractors, to house cleaners, to mortgage brokers. We love our home and neighborhood and appreciate James efficiency and direct style.

ReviewJames helped my boyfriend and I find our first home together. My boyfriend had used his help in the past and had nothing but fabulous things to say. It didnt take me long to see why. He is patient, reliable, hard working and personable. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and kept us up to date with new findings when we got to busy to do it ourselves. He pointed out questions and concerns we should have that we hadnt thought of ourselves. He was with us every step of the way and I would recommend James with no reservation!

ReviewIve dealt with 10+ realtors in Boston and I have to say after I met James 5 years ago I wouldnt go with anyone else. Ive now bought 2 places in Boston from him and would buy more if I had the money. He is always looking for properties for you, sending you updates, etc...He is kind, thoughtful and personable. I would highly recommend James if you are looking to buy a new home/condo/apartment.

ReviewJames helps many of my close friends bought their dream home. So It was a no-brainer for me to ask James for help for my 1st home. I am in the service and consulting industry for a long time and know many top level service provider, James is the best of the best among them. Not only for his knowledge, but also the way he manages our relationship. We become close friends even before we find our dream house. For anyone who may consider to find a realtor, I highly recommend James Lynch. He will help you out, and you will be on the right track.

ReviewJames helped me with a first-time home purchase in Boston. He was quickly reached out to determine what I was looking for and did a great job finding listings that met my criteria. We ended up finding a property that wasnt on the market yet and James helped me navigate the process through closing. I have recommended James to numerous other friends and they have also been very happy with his expert knowledge.

ReviewWe are first time homebuyers, and had been looking for an affordable place for a long time. We had used another agent for a few months but it was an unpleasant experience. James came highly recommended by a couple of coworkers, and im glad we found him. James was very knowledgable and responsive, and helped us ascertain what would work best for us given our different work locations and priorities. Whats most impressive was that James managed to help us beat out a higher offer in this crazy Boston market. I cant say enough about how great James is. Give him a call and you wouldnt regret it.

ReviewI dont normally write review but James is someone Id highly recommend to anyone who is going to buy or sell a home. We know James for years and hes THE agent for our first home purchase, first home sale, and second home purchase. And if I continue, I have zero double contacting him again. Hes the best agent I ever know and heard of. All our friends have James as real estate agent and i only heard happy experience. Even though we had a terrible delay about a recent home purchase from the other side, we didnt have a single thing unhappy about James. Hes patient and always there to help resolve any issues. James is super hands on and always follow up. Hes the kindest guy Ive ever known and never push for anything. I cant tell you enough about how great James are and how lucky we have him as our agent, and as our friend.

ReviewIt was a tremendous experience working with James. He exceeded any of my expectations. James is knowledgeable, understanding, honest, fun and extremely thorough. It wasnt long at all before James helped me to find THE ONE that I am looking for. James made the entire home purchasing process extremely smooth as he also has the best contacts and know the smartest people in the business. Now James is helping me on another project. I couldn?t recommend him enough for anyone looking for some peace of mind when buying/renting/selling a home.

ReviewWe are grateful for James resourcefulness and willingness to commit his time and service. We were a first home buyer and he and his connections made the process as easy as possible for our part. Some of the challenges that we faced during the underwriting process had nothing to do with his lack of resourcefulness or expertise, but the reflection of a very tight and ambitious closing date that we had set upon for ourselves. We are highly thankful and we recommend him or at least make an effort to contact him when looking for a real estate broker.

ReviewJames helped us buying our first house, he had a lots of good local knowledge and get us in touch with some really good parters along the way. With those fantanstic help, we almost had no issue for any documentation and transcation, everything was well prepared and set in place. He is also very responsive and try to understand what you really want to, not force you to go with what easy to sell, and he will help you find what you want, very patient. For negotiating, he is a really good balancer, he will based on his expertise and experience to help you leverage what you can but not getting deal broken. Personally, he is really nice guy with modest tamper, very easy to work with. I will highly recommed him if you are in the market!

ReviewI worked with James in early 2017 and bought my first home in Boston. Its been a great pleasure working with James. He is very knowledgeable of this industry and customizes showings based on your needs and requirements. The more you can tell him what you want and like, the better he can help locate open houses for you. As a first time home buyer and because I did not grow up in this area, I had a lot of questions of the entire home purchases process. James was very patient with me and answered all my questions in details. James took notes whenever he couldnt give me a straight answers to my questions and he always provided timely responses. He is also very resourceful in regards to loans, home inspections, legal services, etc. During the process, I never felt pressured to buy or to make a decision. Even after the deal was closed, James followed up with me and offered to help with many other matters, including transfer utility accounts, painting, home cleaning service, and etc, I felt very confident working with James in all aspect and would highly recommend his service.

ReviewJames helped us find a rental when we moved to Boston from NY, purchase our first Condo, sell our first Condo and most recently, buy our first home. Hes super knowledgeable, but if he doesnt know it? Hell find it for you. He knows the business and knows how to be strategic in getting you the best deal possible (whether youre selling or buying and weve done both with him) Ive recommended James to many friends and will continue to do so. You wont be disappointed.

ReviewJames was exceptionally helpful during my search for my first home. He went above and beyond to help me find listings, view them, and figure out the pros and cons of each one. I felt he took the time to get to know me and my style which no other Realtor had done previously. He could tell if I liked a listing before we even went inside. Overall I had a great experience with James and was able to find an affordable home in a great area because of him.

ReviewWe worked with James to purchase a 2nd home a few years ago in East Boston to accommodate our business needs. The loft location and size was suitable for our professional needs as well as great for our family. These were both considerations during the purchase process. James was very patient in showing us many locations in and around Boston and was very good at narrowing down the types of property that would work best for us. When business changed and we needed to move in another direction, we knew that we could trust and count on James to handle selling the same property. He was extremely knowledgeable on the market conditions and very motivated to help us sell. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the Boston area.

ReviewJames has been most helpful during my Boston apartment rental process. He was extremely responsive to all my questions and worked hard with me every step of the way. We had limited time and James covered a wide range of apartments with me and kept in mind exactly what would suit my needs and budget. He was kind enough to advise me on apartments which looked too good upfront but could possibly not be a fit for me on other parameters. And I appreciate his honesty to do so. He has great listening skills and is flexible. My colleague at work had greatly recommended James to me and I am very glad that I went ahead to work with him. I have gained a friend in the city of Boston.

ReviewJames is well-spoken, thorough, and knowledgable real estate professional. Hes strategic and always has his clients best interests in mind. The real estate market can be an intimidating place for a first time home buyer and James was there to guide me every step of the way. We initially met when he showed me a rental listing, though buying was on my radar, and as the conversation progressed it was clear James had great listening skills as well as an impressive breath and depth of knowledge of the market. I tend to be an inquisitive person, James displayed patience and responsiveness in answering all my questions. I would highly recommend him as an agent!

ReviewJames helped us purchase our first home and we would recommend him to any first time home buyers, as well as to people whove been around the real estate block. He worked diligently with us and remained patient and helpful for the year and a half it took us to find our perfect home. He is very knowledgeable of the Boston area, including Cambridge and Somerville. James always had thoughtful responses for our questions and we enjoyed his use of real world analogies to explain some of the more complicated real estate processes. We also appreciate his sense of humor and his ability to keep a cool head in stressful situations. He was extremely resourceful when facilitating the closing process, dealing with all of the parties involved (lawyers, lender, sellers agent, inspector). James ALWAYS had time for us and responded to texts, phone calls, emails promptly. It was a real pleasure to work with him!

ReviewJames has been very helpful during our purchase who is knowledgable and patient from the start to the end. Thanks to his excellent negotiation skills, we successfully purchased our house when other people are competing with us. He is also very resourceful; he recommended the lawyer and inspector to us and they turned to be both professional and efficient.

ReviewJames stepped into a difficult situation between two sellers and handled the situation professionally, guiding both of the sellers as well as the buyers to a common goal. The deal became shaky at one point but James was able to help negotiate things to an amicable close. I appreciated his responsiveness to as things arose, along with his willingness to go the extra mile and take care of maintenance issues when we, the sellers, were unable to do so ourselves. James handled the sale of our rental property when we were effectively unavailable clients and did so wonderfully. I would recommend James to others who are considering selling their home in the Boston area.

ReviewJust finished closing the purchase of our new condo. James was wonderful to work with and extremely helpful. He listened to our needs and only presented options that focused on what we were looking for. He didnt waste our time with properties that didnt fit our criteria. He has a lot of experience and knowledge of the market in Southie and Boston.James made himself available for all showings and even previewed homes before introducing them to us. Great help with the bidding and working with the sellers agent. Even spent the time to help with the banking and ensure that everything was on track. A wonderful experience and I would highly recommend him if you are selling or purchasing a home.
