# James Lynch Realtor **Trade:** Real Estate · **Address:** 535 Boylston St 8th Floor, Boston, MA 02116, USA · **Phone:** (781) 244-2863 · **Website:** https://listwithjameslynch.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.7/5** (medium confidence) — from 13 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read One client used James Lynch to buy a property, came back years later when it was time to sell a long-standing rental, and simply told him to take care of it — which sums up a run of thirteen reviews, all five stars, dating back to 2021. Working remotely comes up more than once. One couple sold their house from abroad in two weeks, with James scheduling open houses around their renters and staying in constant contact with their lawyer, the renters, and the buyer's side. Another couple, out of the country for months, describe him coordinating with their renters and closing at their asking price in that same two-week window. A different review describes him reaching out to someone who'd listed a condo for rent on social media, offering to list it on the MLS and find a tenant at no cost — and producing several prospective renters where the owner had found none on their own. First-time buyers get the same patient treatment: one review describes being walked through every decision because the language of real estate "can get a little confusing," and another describes switching agents after a year of searching and getting an accepted offer on the very first house James put an offer in on, in a competitive market. There's nothing negative in the reviews on file. A single 2022 Reddit post just names the business with no further detail — not a review either way. A fit for buyers and sellers who want someone comfortable managing a deal from a distance, whether that's an out-of-state closing, a rental turned sale, or a first purchase where every step needs explaining. **Strengths:** - Remote closings — manages sales for clients living or working abroad - Rental-to-sale help — turns long-standing rentals into sale-ready listings - Patient with first-timers — explains every step of an unfamiliar process - Proactive outreach — offers MLS listing and tenant-finding at no cost - Wins in tight markets — accepted offers even after other agents came up short ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google shows a 5★ rating across 25 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://maps.google.com/?cid=932037110698583524&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “Google: 5★ from 25 ratings” - Sold a house in two weeks while the sellers were living abroad, coordinating with renters, the lawyer, and the buyer's side throughout _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURKbk1haWVBEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xcef42d064aba5e4!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDJnMaieA%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ My husband and I decided to sell our house while living abroad, we hired James and from the first phone call, we knew we were in good han…” - Sold a home remotely at asking price in two weeks while the owners were out of the country for several months _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURKN0kyR21nRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcef42d064aba5e4!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDJ7I2GmgE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I would work with James again anytime.
