RE/MAX Realty Pros / Realistic Real Estate Tim Ryan

There isn't much written about Tim Ryan's Quincy real estate practice yet — and what there is runs short and positive. His Google listing shows a 5-star average, but it comes from two ratings, which is a thin base to judge anyone on. The business operates as Realistic Real Estate under the RE/MAX Realty Pros name, at 774 Hancock Street in Quincy, and it is listed as a member of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce — a marker of local ties rather than of how a deal goes. Worth asking about directly: recent closings in your neighborhood, and references from clients he represented in the past year. Two ratings cannot tell you how an agent handles a stalled inspection, a low appraisal, or a bidding war, and that is where a listing agent earns the commission. For a Quincy buyer or seller already leaning toward RE/MAX, he is a reasonable person to interview — just plan on doing the vetting the public ratings have not done for you.
