Verified record
117 Realty is a small Middleton brokerage built around one broker, David Silen, and the clients who have written about it keep returning to the same point: he is not only an agent. In reviews written in 2024, clients described him as a broker who is also a builder, a real estate attorney and a member of a board of ethics — an unusual combination that they credited with giving them confidence through a stressful sale. Its Massachusetts real estate broker licence is active on the state registry, held under 117 Realty LLC. The written record is small, and all of it dates from 2024: five reviews, every one of them five stars. A client writing in June 2024 said he had sold two of their previous properties and found them new homes to buy, staying responsive from the first negotiation through to the close. Another from the same month described him putting in countless hours to land the home they wanted, and a third praised the office's grasp of the local area and school systems. The firm's own site lists coverage across Essex County and the neighbouring North Shore — Amesbury, Andover, Beverly, Boxford, Danvers, Gloucester, Haverhill, Ipswich, Lawrence and Lynn among them — alongside MLS search, buyer and seller representation and home valuations. This is a reasonable call if you want a single experienced broker handling your sale personally rather than being passed around a large roster, and the verified licence and the repeat-client account both count in its favour. Because the written record is thin and none of it is recent, ask for closings from the past year in your own town, and confirm the office actively works your market rather than simply listing it.
Great experience with real estate transaction. I found that the agents were knowledgeable and really understood the area, school systems etc.
There are a lot of great realtors in my area but what set David Silen of 117 Realty apart for me was his experience as not only a broker, but also a builder, a real estate attorney and a member of the board of ethics. Selling/buying a home can be an incredibly stressful time, but David’s knowledgeability and integrity gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process of selling my house. I would definitely work with this team again.

David is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. He is very personable and trustworthy. Overall, David is exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely patient and very dedicated to his clients. We completely and fully endorse his services and the 117 Realty Estate Team to anyone buying or selling a home.
