Howard Back Realty

Fifty-eight years in one town is the headline here. Howard Back Realty works out of 654 Washington St in Braintree, and its Better Business Bureau profile puts the business start date at 1968, listing it as a sole proprietorship with five employees. What clients say is a much shorter story. Google carries a 5-star average built on a single rating, and the BBB page shows no posted customer reviews. BBB grades the company A+, and lists it as not accredited — accreditation is something businesses opt into, so that is a description of the profile, not a knock on the work. That leaves longevity as the thing you can actually lean on. A Braintree office that has traded through several South Shore markets since the late 1960s knows the inventory, but there is not yet a public chorus of buyers and sellers to read. Worth doing before you sign: ask which agent would handle your listing or search day to day, get recent Braintree-area sales they closed themselves, and confirm the agent's and broker's standing with the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons.
