# Lamacchia Realty - Braintree, MA **Trade:** Real Estate · **Brokerage:** Lamacchia Realty, Inc. · **Address:** 222 Forbes Rd #100, Braintree, MA 02184, USA · **Phone:** (781) 917-0491 · **Website:** http://www.lamacchiabraintree.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.9/5** (medium confidence) — from 155 reviews across 4 sources. 98% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Lamacchia Realty's Braintree office is a large brokerage where the experience turns on which agent you're assigned — and reviewers rarely have anything bad to say about theirs. Across 155 reviews collected since 2021, the same pattern repeats: a first-time buyer overwhelmed by the process, an agent who explained each step, and a closing that felt easier than expected. The names that come up most are Nicole Vermillion, Kerry Moore, Jason Gillespie, Heather Turco, Ellen, Tina, Bea Murphy, Mahi Kouvlis and Shauna Fanning. A 2024 buyer wrote that Nicole "sent us houses that fit our needs, and humored us while also being honest" about the ones that weren't right; a 2023 client said Tina "catered to every detail" while selling her parents' home. Availability shows up again and again — several reviewers describe agents answering calls and texts at odd hours in the middle of competitive-market chaos, and a 2025 buyer credited Kerry Moore with being available "at any time of need." One 2025 review breaks from that pattern sharply: a seller alleged the company tried to alter a signed contract to lower the sale price without agreement, and described the company as focused on quick sales over client interest. It's the lone account of its kind in the record, but it's specific enough — and different enough in kind from the usual "agent was great" — to flag before signing anything. Because this is a large multi-agent brokerage rather than a single practitioner, the consistency across so many different names is itself notable. Ask who your specific point of contact will be, and read a review or two for that person before committing. **Strengths:** - First-time buyer support — patient, detailed guidance through the process - Agent availability — reviewers describe responses at all hours - Consistent across agents — many different agents praised similarly **Concerns:** - Contract dispute — one seller alleged price altered without consent ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Reviewers describe patient, detailed guidance through the buying process, especially as first-time buyers _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xCbk1reDNZak5NU1RaTFZWRklOMUJWYUd4V1ZHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x106f5422353b2232!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlBnMkx3YjNMSTZLVVFIN1BVaGxWVGc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I just closed on a house with Kerry Moore and she was amazing!
