Davenport Realty

Davenport Realty is a South Yarmouth real estate brokerage that, according to the company's own site, has served Cape Cod real estate since 1956. Beyond home, land, and commercial property sales, the firm runs one of the Mid-Cape's largest yearly rental leasing operations, covering Yarmouth, Dennis, and Harwich; a related firm, Davenport Building Company, separately handles construction at the same address. Available reviews are almost entirely about the rental side of the business rather than home sales, and they consistently single out leasing agent Trevor Kellett by name across nearly five years of feedback, describing him as responsive, patient, and effective at matching tenants with homes in a tight Cape Cod rental market. One tenant of four years reports maintenance requests addressed within a single business day, with staff described as professional and punctual, and several others describe smooth, stress-free leasing after months or years of searching elsewhere. A handful of reviews raise real friction: a 2022 tenant said little was done beyond raising the rent, a late-2025 review described unresponsive management and maintenance at an older condominium property, and a 2021 review reported a missed appointment with no cancellation notice. A 2024 review also made a serious but undetailed allegation about the company's role in development near Route 6A in Yarmouthport. Separately, Massachusetts's registry shows the company's real estate broker license (6100-RE-C, held by Davenport Realty, Inc.) has lapsed, and a same-address BBB listing under the name "Davenport Realty Trust" carries a different phone number and a 1984 start date not reconciled with the site's 1956 claim. For renters navigating Cape Cod's tight housing market, Davenport's rental arm has a long track record that reviewers credit mostly to individual staff attentiveness. Anyone considering it for a home sale specifically should ask directly about that side of the business and confirm the broker license's current status, since the available reviews speak only to renting.
