Home Bound Realty is a residential real estate brokerage at 922 Kempton St in New Bedford, run by broker/owner Paula Levasseur, who also teaches the firm's real estate pre-licensing courses. Beyond Paula, the team includes more than a dozen named agents — Danielle Medeiros, Colleen Keefe, Kristy Washburn, Ana Delgado Cannon, Melissa, and others — working with buyers and sellers across the South Coast, including at least one transaction in Dartmouth. Reviewers going back to 2022 consistently single out their specific agent by name for responsiveness, patience, and local market knowledge through home purchases and sales. Several describe fast-moving deals: one seller's home sold within about six weeks after listing in 2026, and in a late-2024 review a buyer described calling Paula about a house and getting a same-day showing and next-day schedule within 30 minutes of the call. Colleen Keefe drew praise in a 2024 review for staying on top of every detail of a transaction, including visiting an open house on a client's behalf and recording video when they couldn't attend. A second thread of reviews is about the brokerage's real estate pre-licensing classes, taught by Paula personally. Students describe her as a knowledgeable, patient, and engaging instructor, with reviews spanning from 2023 through 2026. Paula herself also draws direct praise as a broker, both for selling homes and representing buyers. The record isn't spotless: in a December 2025 review, a buyer described the office as unprofessional over how a seller's security deposit receipts and left-behind personal items were handled, saying they had to push for documentation that should have been provided automatically. That account stands out against dozens of individually-attributed, strongly positive reviews spanning both the brokerage and the classes. Because the firm operates as a team of named agents rather than a single point of contact, which agent gets assigned is likely to shape the experience more than the brokerage's name alone. Home Bound Realty is a solid option for South Coast buyers and sellers who want a locally based, agent-matched brokerage, and for anyone pursuing a Massachusetts real estate license looking for in-person prep taught by a working broker — it's worth asking upfront which agent will handle the transaction and how deposit and closing paperwork will be documented.
We honestly could not have asked for a better realtor than Danielle at Homebound Realty! Selling our house was already a big process, but doing it while moving our family to a completely different state made it SO much more stressful. Having Danielle in our corner made such a huge difference. From the very beginning, Danielle was amazing. She was always responsive, kept us updated, answered all of our million questions, and was there to help with everything along the way. Since we had already moved out of state, there were so many things that could have been difficult to handle from far away, but Danielle made everything feel manageable. We always knew we could count on her to be there and take care of things when we couldn’t physically be there ourselves. Of course, there were a few unexpected bumps along the way, but Danielle handled everything with such professionalism and never made us feel like we had to worry about it. She was always one step ahead, kept everything moving, and truly had our best interests at heart. We ended up selling our house for an amazing price and made it all the way to closing, and we genuinely could not be happier with how everything turned out. Moving to a new state while selling a house at the same time was A LOT, but Danielle made the selling part of it so much less stressful for us. We are so thankful we had her to guide us through the entire process. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and actually cares about her clients, I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She went above and beyond for our family, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you for everything, Danielle!! We truly appreciate you! ❤️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paula and Kim! They helped me sell my home and also represented me as my buyer's agents while finding my next one. Their patience, professionalism, honesty, and dedication were truly incredible throughout the entire process. I know I was probably one of their toughest clients, but they never gave up on me. They listened to my concerns, answered every question, and supported me through every challenge. They always made me feel like a priority and worked tirelessly to ensure that everything came together. Paula and Kim, I appreciate you both more than words can express. Thank you for your guidance, kindness, patience, and commitment. I am beyond grateful that I had you by my side for both the sale of my home and the purchase of my new one. I would highly recommend Paula and Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—they truly go above and beyond for their clients!
Paula and Kim were great to work with and had many challenges to make my home deal a success. Highly recommend for all your needs
Paula Levasseur and her entire team were awesome! We listed my home for sale , had one open house and accepted an offer that very next week. The entire process was seamless, and my house was sold in just 6 weeks! She and her staff were so attentive, responsive and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Paula and her team at Homebound Realty.
I’m so happy to purchase a house with them. Paula and Pedro are very knowledgeable, they answer all my questions during this process. A 100% recommend them.
