Josh Frappier leads the Coastal Life Real Estate Team out of Amesbury, working Newburyport, the Seacoast area of New Hampshire, and surrounding Essex County towns. Across 46 Google reviews spanning 2021 to 2026 — every single one five stars — the team's reputation rests on genuine range: first-time buyers navigating VA loans, sellers of decades-old family homes, commercial property purchases, and multi-year searches in tight markets. The specifics are unusually concrete for real estate reviews. One seller's home sold within a week despite being a gutted property, well beyond the owner's expectations. Another review describes an over-asking offer landing 24 hours before a scheduled open house, beating even the seller's own "aspirational" price target. A veteran buyer, after a year and a half of rejected VA-loan offers in a competitive market, credited Josh — a fellow veteran — with getting those offers taken seriously as genuinely competitive. Another family worked with Josh and his team for more than two years to secure a property in a volatile, high-demand market, describing it as a true partnership rather than a transaction. The team dynamic comes through clearly too. Reviews independently praise named teammates — Tessa Fagin for her market knowledge and responsiveness, Christian for his contractor connections on a house needing work, Austin for keeping a stressed buyer grounded during a tough search — suggesting the quality holds up across whoever on the team a client actually works with, not just Josh himself. Repeat business shows up often: one client used Josh for a first home purchase back in 2020 and returned for the sale of that same property years later; another bought commercial space through him in 2021 and came back for a residential search the following year. With 46 straight five-star reviews spanning half a decade, specific dollar figures and timelines, and repeat clients across multiple transaction types, this is about as strong and consistent a public record as a real estate team gets. There's little here to flag; the main practical question for a prospective client is simply which team member — Josh, Tessa, Christian or Austin — would actually be handling their transaction.
Josh is fantastic to work with! He is very thoughtful in his approach to helping clients evaluate potential homes. He negotiated hard for us both on the purchase of our new house and the sale of our current home. His team is very capable and responsive. I would highly recommend him!
Great experience working with Josh. Grace under pressure. Thanks for always working to put yourself in my shoes in order to get the deal done.
Josh and his team were exceptional all the way through. Communication was always clear and honest, they helped us prioritize the right pre-listing projects to boost appeal, and they absolutely nailed listing price and timing. Highly recommend!
Worked with Christian on a house in Kingston. He put in a ton of work and his contractor contacts helped get the deal done. His office staff (Erica Norris) was great too.
Josh and his whole team were excellent and patient in guiding us through the process of selling our home of 34 years and of purchasing our new home. Their negotiating skills were excellent and they are very detail oriented.
