Coldwell Banker Realty, Lynn D'Avolio

Lynn D'Avolio is an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Realty, working out of Lynnfield and covering Boston, the North Shore and Metro West. She says she has more than 30 years in the business and has sold over 500 homes — a claim her review history backs up with real depth: 24 Google ratings averaging 4.7, and thirteen detailed 5-star write-ups running from 2022 through this spring. The recurring theme across those reviews is patience paired with follow-through. One buyer described a three-year search — "no fault of Lynn's" — during which she stayed just as attentive near the end as at the start, never pushy. Another seller had an offer in place the same evening her home was listed, above the appraised value, and closed in three weeks. Several first-time buyers credit her with walking them through every step, including helping one find a home inspector. There's one sour note. A 2022 review from a self-described first-time buyer said she pushed them to make an offer on a house they weren't interested in, made them uncomfortable enough to stop working with her — and then kept reaching out for years afterward despite repeated requests and a blocked number. It's an outlier against thirteen otherwise consistent, detailed accounts of patience and responsiveness, but worth asking her about directly. She's also active locally: a member of the Lynnfield Chamber of Commerce, and by her own account a past president of the Women's Council of Realtors and a former Draper Chamber of Commerce board member. For a straightforward buy or sell in her coverage area, the record here is unusually deep and consistent for a solo agent.
