ZillowVERIFIEDPam has a deep knowledge and understanding of the local marketplace. She is responsive, attentive and flexible. We saw many listings with Pam during the search for our home, and throughout the process she had a high degree of knowledge on each property we saw and always made us feel supported. When it came time for to place an offer, she provided expert guidance to us. Pam made us feel like a priority during this process and we truly appreciate her and her expertise. We cannot recommend Pam enough. In addition to the above, we ended up having a great time finding our home with Pam! She made a stressful process as enjoyable as it could be and we always looked forward to communicating with her. Thanks for helping us find our home, Pam!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam Bates sold us our house 10 years ago when we moved to the area, and it was such a positive experience that when we were ready to sell, we called her up immediately. A terrific mix of professional and personal, Pam is a real estate agent who also can act as a therapist and a contractor referral service. We had a few stressful house emergencies very close to closing, and Pam helped us connect with professionals for quick and high-quality repairs - the whole time, keeping her cool and helping us keep ours. I can't say enough- she's worth her weight in gold.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a wonderful experience buying our home in Hingham with Pam. We were moving to Hingham from out of state, and Pam helped us take advantage of the limited time we had while visiting Hingham to see homes and ultimately get an offer accepted. Pam provided exceptional service and expertise, and was incredibly knowledgeable of the market. She was also super helpful in recommending vendors for the small projects we had done post-close. Highly recommend Pam to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Pam was SUCH a pleasure. She was endlessly knowledgable, professional and truly cared about our buying experience. Her expertise and years in the business proved to be invaluable in our home search. I truly don't think we could have done it without her! I will continue to recommend her to anyone buying a house in the future and will certainly use her services again if we choose to sell.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam Bates is a true professional, and we recommend her highly as a realtor. She guided us with grace, helpful insights, and confidence throughout the selling process. Her experience and knowledge of the South Shore is outstanding. We have bought and sold many properties over the decades -- Pam is by far among the very best in the business.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam helped us sell our house of 10+ years in the Otis Hill neighborhood of Hingham last summer. It was a great experience from beginning to end. She made helpful, practical suggestions on small improvements we could make and actually connected us with trusted vendor. The photos and videos her team took really brought out the best in the house. There were some very rocky times as we approached closing and Pam was there to keep us calm, advise us and manage the buyer. It was a great experience and we couldn't recommend Pam highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Pam to buy our home was an exceptional experience. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Pam genuinely cared about helping us find the right homeaEUR"not just any home.

Review for Member: Pamela Bates
ZillowVERIFIED Pam did an amazing job in our home search, negotiation, and closing. She landed us in a perfect home for our family, one that had yet to hit the market. Throughout the entire process, we felt informed, heard, and supported. She was our advocate every step of the way and we knew she had our best interests at heart. Her advice and local knowledge were invaluable, especially in a competitive market. She was available for so many late night phone calls and site visits. We would not hesitate to recommend Pam to family and friends- and have done so already. Our family can't thank Pam enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam assisted my husband and I for a year to find the perfect house! As first time home-buyers we were not sure where to start, what to look for, and questions to ask. Pam helped with all of that, after meeting and sitting in her office and sharing our story and what kind of house we hopefully wanted, Pam immediately plugged the information into her computer and the following weekend we were at our first open house. Throughout the year we had many rainy open house weekends, but they were all worth it! When going through the steps of creating an offer, inspection information, etc. Pam provided all the necessary information and allowed us to ask any question, no matter how simple or complex. When reaching out during the week or on weekends Pam was responsive and always able to support us be attending open houses or following up if my husband and I went on our own. During our time of working with Pam we even referred her to friends of our who purchased their first home. Pam was amazing and made my husband and I very comfortable while going through all the steps (multiple times) during the home buying process! Thank you Pam!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam helped us find our forever family home in Cohasset, MA, and her expertise, dedication, and kindness made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She truly listened to our needs, made herself available at all hours, answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home. Pam's knowledge of the local market and her keen eye for detail were invaluable. Even after closing, Pam opened up her Rolodex to us and recommended some truly fantastic vendors to complete our punch list. We highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional realtor in the South Shore. Thank you, Pam, for making our dream home a reality and most of allaEUR"for becoming a friend in the process!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam is the best! Nobody knows the market better. Not only is she one of the hardest working people I have ever met, but her caring and honest feedback is what sets her apart from other agents. We bought a house when rates were at the highest in years, in a competitive market. Pam wanted us to find our dream home just as much as we wanted to. She kept our best interest at heart the entire step of the way on our home buying journey. Her standards are as high as ours and she wouldnt let us settle for anything but the best for our family. We are so grateful to have Pam on our team.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam is OUTSTANDING! a real trooper, I must have looked at 75 houses by the time we found the right one. Pam was always looking out for us, never a doubt! I generally think real estate agents are a necessary evil to fill out the paperwork! I don't think that anymore, Pam was the most valuable resource I had while trying to find this house. She was great!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam We are so grateful for your guidance and all the hard work youve done to first sell our home AND assist us in finding a new home that fulfills our dreams. Working together to view available homes was fun and we learned so much from you! Your knowledge and expertise made the process easier and helped us feel confident in our buying decision.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Pam Bates to both purchase and sell a historic home in HIngham. Through the lengthy process of renovation, Pam stood by us and gave us the benefit of her extensive knowledge, helping us to find the best solutions to the innumerable "this old house" problems that came up - far above just being a listing service. I would recommend Pam for any real estate transaction you're contemplating. Five stars from start to finish.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Pam was an absolute pleasure. We valued her experience and extensive knowledge of our local area. Pams guidance and responsiveness to our questions (day or night) was always appreciated. Parting with the family home can be difficult but Pams calm demeanor will put a client at ease. Pam was there every step of the way. If you want results, I highly recommend working with Pam Bates!

ZillowVERIFIED We could not have asked for a better agent than Pam - Thoughtful, attentive, flexible, deeply knowledgeable about the South Shore, pushed us when we needed to be pushed, cautioned us when we needed to pause, responsive and patient.Pam is a partner and an advocate in the real estate process. We were moving from out of state and needed an agent that truly knew the area. Pam spent an inordinate amount of time helping educate us about the area and leveraging her contacts for current and upcoming properties.As an extra bonus - she is a joy to be with and has a great sense of humor which is helpful in a stressful move! You cannot go wrong with having her as your real estate partner.

ZillowVERIFIED We are first time homeowners and met Pam through Zillow. She took us to our first open house and right away we knew that she would be the one to help guide us through the process of finding our first home. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market in the area and gave us excellent advice about location, timing, and guided us into the most perfect home we could ever want. This process could have been overwhelming, but Pam was always there for us to answer our (many) questions, to share her wealth of information and contacts, and to help us every step of the way. We honestly feel like we won the Real Estate Agent lottery - she's not just an agent to us, she's a neighbor and a friend! We cannot recommend her enough, and know that if we ever need her again, she's there.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying a house is a challenge. You are required to make complicated financial decisions in a high stress environment. You need someone who will be there every step of the way to guide you through the process. Pam filled the role beautifully. We were most impressed with her responsiveness. If we had a question, and we had many, she would get back to us immediately and graciously. We were completely informed at all times throughout the process. Pam comes with our highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED I bought and sold a home with Pam. It was a superb experience. Pam is thoughtful, honest, quick to respond to questions or concerns. Her knowledge of the housing market, the area she works in and general real estate information is excellent and when she doesn't know the answer to a question, she quickly looks to find an answer. I really appreciate her calm demeanor...particularly in a time that is very emotional for clients. On a professional basis, I have also worked with Pam on clean outs and staging. She is thorough, a great communicator and values my time as a contractor. Working with Pam Bates is a true pleasure.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam is absolutely the BEST! We purchased our home in Hingham in July 2020 and if it wasn't for Pam's extensive knowledge of the town and the home buying process (we were first timers!) we would have been so lost. Pam took the time to explain a lot of the steps in purchasing a home that we weren't familiar with and made it all happen during a crazy pandemic! I would highly recommend Pam to anyone looking to buy or sell in Hingham or nearby towns, you won't regret it!

ZillowVERIFIED Selling your HOME is an emotional experience, but when we recently sold our home in Hingham, we felt this time it was different and a great deal less stressful than past experiences. We met with a number of reputable agents before landing on Pam, right from our initial meeting we felt we were in experienced, empathetic, and thoughtful hands, Pam spent time finding out about our family and what was important to us, she came to our first meeting fully prepared to discuss the market in general and specifically how it impacted our home. Pam laid out a comprehensive marketing plan and was able to answer all our questions and address our concerns. We never felt rushed or pressured during the process, including the actual negotiation of the sale. Pam clearly knew what she was doing, which added to our sense of security. We have bought and sold a number of homes and have always felt completely stressed out especially during the negotiations, working with Pam was a totally different experience, I cant say we werent stressed at times during the negotiations, but we didnt feel pressured and knew Pam had our back.Pam not only listens to you, she also actually hears you, she is professional, experienced and really cares about her clients, she is simply awesome! Thank you! Pam - Laura and Joe

ZillowVERIFIED Pam was our realtor to buy and sell our home and was amazing! She is the utmost professional, knowledgeable and highly responsive. She was so honest, patient and clear in all communications (especially in a competitive/busy market). Pam never pushed us to buy anything that wasn't right for our family and knew what we wanted better than we did. We are going to miss working with her and know anyone will be happy with her expertise and lucky to have her as their realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam was very helpful when searching for our first home. We were buying from across the country. She showed us all the homes on FaceTime and worked within our schedule. She was very knowledgable about the south shore region and different features of each home. As first time buyers, she helped us understand the home buying process and she introduced us to local loan, attorney and inspection folks. If you are serious in buying and looking for someone to work on your behalf to help you find the home of your dreams, she's a great choice!

Finding the right fit that worked for all of our needs and wants took several months, and Pam was diligent and patient throughout it all, serving as a voice of comfort and reason each step of the way. Thank you for everything you've done for us!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam provided us with expert guidance every step of the way in the sales process. Her recommendations about home improvements, contractors, staging, and pricing led to the successful sale of our home the first day we put it on the market. (We were especially thrilled because we listed our home in the midst of the pandemic, not the easiest time to sell a house.) Pam went above and beyond the services we expected her to provide, and was always available when we needed help with things like letting contractors into the house. It was a pleasure to work with Pam because she was responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive from our first meeting until the closing of the sale.

Review for Member: Pamela Bates
ZillowVERIFIED Having sold our previous homes ourselves for asking price, we were skeptical about hiring a broker. But with todays buyers expectations shaped by HGTV and social media, we decided we needed an expert. Pam Bates impressed us from the first phone call. She is incredibly responsive and made us feel like we were her only client. She consistently provided wise counsel and straightforward advice. She guided us through getting our house ready to sell, pricing and timing it right, and negotiating the purchase of a new home. Ultimately, our house sold the first weekend, with multiple offers WELL ABOVE asking. And she did all this through the pandemic! Pam FAR exceeded our expectations. She is the best of the best, and we will recommend her to everyone we know.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam showed us a number of homes and was always incredibly prepared before the viewing. In some cases she knew more about the home than the listing agent! She was great at negotiating the purchase of the house and was on top of all aspects of the closing. In addition she recommended very skilled inspectors, attorneys, and even painters. Would highly recommend working with Pam.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently purchased a home located in Hingham where I was represented by Pam Bates. Pam was extremely professional and thorough in her representation of me. Her organizational skills and articulate nature were very helpful, as we navigated several minor challenges through the due diligence/acquisition process. Particularly of importance to me was when Pam said she was going to do something, it was done right away (not days or even hours, but right away). I would highly recommend Pam to any buyer in the Hingham market.

ZillowVERIFIED Pam never put any pressure on us for any particular house or even time frame of moving. She was always very open and willing to spend her time with us going to whatever houses we were interested in. She also provided us with a very well defined list of houses that hit our criteria. Then, during the process of actually purchasing a house, Pam wasn't overbearing, but also made sure that we were aware of deadlines. It is true that Pam seems to know everyone and everything in Hingham - she knew the people we bought our house from as well as the neighbor. Anyone looking for a house in South Shore, especially Hingham, you shouldn't look any further than Pam.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Pam Bates when we were just beginning to look into "downsizing" from our home of almost 30 years. She was encouraging and thoughtful and made a point of showing us different options. Pam is very enthusiastic and really gets to know her clients' needs. When we finally found a place we felt was right for us, she was the best realtor ever for helping us realize the pluses and even pointed out some of the concerns about our potentially new home. Pam was always available for our questions and always ready to provide names of professionals to assist us with any work that we might want accomplished before we moved. You will find Pam to be a friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and always honest realtor. We would use her again and have only positive things to say about her. You could not find a better person to work with than Pamela Bates!

ZillowVERIFIED Pam was recommended to us by a friend, and helped us buy a house in the South Shore. She was an overall excellent real estate agent to work with. She had an impressive amount of local knowledge, was efficient and very responsive, and made an effort to understand exactly what we were looking for. She also helped us get in touch with an array of vendors, architects and contractors in the area. We would strongly recommend her as an agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We have only the finest things to say about Pamela Bates. From our first introduction to her, at an Open House, we were impressed with her knowledge, professional demeanor and communicative skills. She was personable and extremely helpful with all our questions and concerns. She followed up with additional information, including questions that we had asked, after that meeting, and we were left with the impression that this was a realtor who cared about her work, and her clients-definitely someone with whom we would like to work. Between that initial meeting and the time that we purchased our townhouse we had only the most positive experiences with Pam. Each question we had she answered almost immediately, with suggestions how situations could be best handled. In short our first impression was absolutely accurate. Pam shows, with her dedication and honest concern for her clients, that she cares. We appreciated her familiarity with our town and her contacts with other realtors in the area as both significantly aided our search for the perfect property. We highly recommend Pamela Bates to anyone looking for an experienced, caring professional who obviously sincerely cares about her clients and strives (and succeeds) to always meet their needs. We enjoyed completing this transaction with her and are looking forward to working with her again as we offer our current property for sale.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot recommend Pam enough. She was thorough in her approach to understand what we were looking for, so each visit provided us with more insights into the market and brought us closer to finding our ideal home. She was on top of all details and left no stone unturned in the process; we were never left 'wondering' about anything. She has great local insights and could not have been more helpful to us during this process.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Pam selling my mother's condo in the Hingham Shipyard. She was excellent throughout the process and got us two fantastic offers during the first open house. The entire transaction on our end was very smooth, due to Pam's expertise. More importantly, however, was Pam's willingness and ability to bring all kinds of resources to bear to help my mother prepare for the listing, the sale, and the move. We couldn't have done it without the many wonderful people that Pam recommended to help with all of these important aspects of the entire process. It made it so much easier for us, and my mother. I can't imagine how we would have gotten it done without Pam!

ZillowVERIFIED We highly recommend Pam Bates of Coldwell Banker, Hingham. As newcomers to the area from Atlanta, GA due to a job change, we were unfamiliar with the South Shore and had no idea what community would best suit us. Pam really does sell a relationship with her clientele and she did just that with us from the very beginning. She tirelessly brought us to see many, many homes in each of the different communities along the South Shore and helped us to gain a better perspective of which community and type of home would suit us the best. She is thorough, professional, persistent and relentless in her pursuit of what is best for her client. She was an outstanding advocate for us throughout the purchase process, from negotiating the offer and inspection, to the appraisal and final sale. She is still an invaluable resource to us, offering recommendations and solutions to issues that have arisen now that we are in the home. If you are contemplating buying or selling a home, be sure to contact Pam Bates first. You will not be disappointed!!!
