Verified record
Arrive Home Realty, Corp is a small residential brokerage based in South Weymouth on the Massachusetts South Shore, working with buyers, sellers and investors on home purchases and sales. The company says it is run by broker and owner Robert Bethell alongside broker and co-owner Carla Bethell. Its Massachusetts real estate broker registration, 423069-RE-C, is verified active in the state registry under the company's own name — the credential is held by this business, not by a parent brand. The people who have hired the firm write most often about buying a first home. A homeowner who closed in June 2026 describes being walked through tours and questions and finding the agent responsive and organized, and earlier first-time buyers in 2024 and 2025 describe the same hand-holding through offers and closing. Google shows 4.9 stars from 11 ratings, and the written record runs from 2023 to 2026. On the selling side the accounts are about difficult, emotional sales rather than routine ones. A seller in February 2026 came to the firm after an unpleasant experience elsewhere and described the second attempt as smooth and fully handled; a 2025 review describes the sale of an aunt's home of more than 65 years, forced by physical limitations, where the reviewer credits the agent's market knowledge but dwells on her patience with a hard, time-sensitive process. A 2024 seller relocating out of state describes the same steadying effect. Almost all of that praise names Carla Bethell personally rather than the company, so a buyer or seller hiring the firm should confirm which of the two brokers will actually run their transaction. The record is also short: 11 reviews on file, and the only non-five-star entry is a brief four-star line from November 2023 calling the agent helpful and informative. The firm's website lists four designations — SFR, CNE, PSA and SRS — as its own claims; those are trade designations from industry bodies rather than state credentials, so ask to see them if they matter to you. A commenter on the r/SouthShore subreddit in November 2025 also called the firm fantastic, which is word of mouth rather than a documented transaction. This is a reasonable call for a South Shore buyer or seller who wants a two-person shop and direct contact with a broker, particularly first-time buyers or anyone selling under emotional or estate-related pressure. Confirm the assigned agent, the commission structure and the current broker registration with the state before signing.
“arrive home realty was fantastic!”
We had a great experience working with Carla while buying our first home. She was patient with all of the tours, answered our many questions and helped guide us in the best direction. She was also very responsive and organized which made the process much easier. Highly recommend working with Carla!
After an unpleasant experience trying to sell my home, I made the best choice possible choosing Arrive Home Realty to take over the sale of my home. The process was very smooth. They took care of everything from A-Z and gave me all the answers before I had the Questions. I couldn't recommend Arrive Home Realty more.
I'm not sure I can say enough positive things about Carla and our experience with her. My aunt was forced to sell her home of 65+ years due to physical limitations, and I was tasked to handle this emotional and somewhat time sensitive process. Carla surpassed any expectations I could possibly have had. She immediately understood how emotional the process was for both of us. Her market knowledge was never in question, but it was her sincere caring and compassion that really carried the day. She is a talented agent and amazing human being. I felt we were very lucky being guided in her direction!
As first time home buyers, Arrive Home Realty was the best choice we could have made. Carla was incredibly helpful in navigating the market and helping us find the perfect home for us. Would absolutely go back to them for any future real estate needs.
Arrive Home Realty and agent Carla Bethell are the absolute best! Her professionalism, knowledge and willingness to get your house sold is above the rest. She made what can be a very stressful time so much easier with her calmness and ability to get the best results, Thank You!
