International Realty Corporation

The one thing firmly established about International Realty Corporation, a brokerage at 89 Lewis St in Lynn, is the credential: its Massachusetts real estate broker license, 430-RE-C, is active. Beyond that, it is early days publicly. Two people have rated the firm on Google, both at five stars — a clean start, though two ratings do not add up to a track record. So ask directly: how long they have worked Lynn and the North Shore, how many closings they handle in a year, and whether they usually sit on the buyer's or the seller's side. The license checks out; judge the rest on the conversation.
