Savage Realty Group is a three-person, family-run brokerage working out of Danvers on Boston's North Shore, and its credential checks out: the Massachusetts registry lists real estate broker licence 422549-RE-LC as active, held by Savage Realty Group LLC itself rather than an individual or a parent brand. The company was started and incorporated on 3 April 2014 and is managed by Colleen Savage, with three employees listed. Its Better Business Bureau file, opened in December 2017, describes the business simply as Real Estate. What homeowners can read about the experience is limited to one detailed account, written in August 2019 by a first-time buyer. That client singled out an agent named Tom for explaining each step in plain language, for pointing out neighbourhood details only a local would know, and for spotting problems in properties they felt other agents would have missed. Google shows a 5-star average, but it rests on that single rating. Before signing anything, expect to do your own diligence on how the firm works today rather than in 2019. The BBB does not rate this business and says it lacks sufficient information to do so, and the profile is not accredited, so there is no third-party grade to lean on. Ask which agent would actually handle your sale or purchase, since the one named account praises a specific person rather than the office, and ask for recent client references and closed transactions in your town. This is a reasonable call for a North Shore buyer or seller who wants a small local office where the owners are directly involved, and who is comfortable judging the firm from references they gather themselves rather than from a deep public review history. Confirm the broker licence directly with the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons, and get the commission and listing terms in writing.
I would recommend Savage Realty to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first time buyers.Our agent, Tom, was great at guiding us through the process in a way where everything was understandable.He's very honest and kind and always made us feel like his only client. During the search part of the process, he shared all these little details about the neighborhoods that only locals would know about. He was also able to spot potential problems in properties that might be overlooked by other realtors. He gave us insight into the process that you won't find on any website. Our experience required working with a difficult seller, and he was great at strategizing around the complex purchase. He was extremely professional and made the process work in a way that everyone involved was happy with outcome.
