    Peter Lane was fantastic to work with during our recent home purchase in Manchester-by-the-Sea! He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. Peter made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We couldnt be happier with our new home and highly recommend him!

    Peter was very helpful in helping us sell our home of 40 years. The industry has changed a lot since our last foray into real estate. Thankfully Peter was extremely knowledgeable of the market and the Cape Ann area so all went smoothly. Feel free to engage this real estate firm for any of your needs. We now consider Peter a friend.

    It was a pleasure to work with Peter and Pam. There were many buyers visiting the property during open houses and they would give me and update after each open house or schedule visit. When the offer to buy arrived, they quickly setup a time and place to discuss it. Soon after the offer was accepted, my wife and I left on a pre schedule cruise. Peter and Pam worked with our attorney to get the P&S executed in our absence. The closing went smoothly thanks to their close attention to all the details. We highly recommend Peter and Pam and enjoyed working with them.
