Sean Bakhtiari is a Massachusetts-licensed real estate broker based in Newburyport, working with a team on residential, luxury, waterfront, vacation-home, and short-term-rental transactions across the North Shore, Plum Island, and the New Hampshire seacoast. His broker's license (9565597-RE-S) is state-verified and active, held under his own name. His track record is deep and consistent: 90 reviews from 2021 to today, every one five stars, with zero negatives among the last six months' 14 reviews. Clients repeatedly credit Sean and his team — named individuals including Austin, Hannah, and Ben appear by name across multiple reviews — for organized, responsive communication throughout complex transactions. Several reviews describe him closing difficult deals: in a 2024 review, a buyer described a "challenging close with open permits, a disappearing contractor, and countless passed deadlines" on a home that had sat on the market for 1.5 years before Sean sold it in a single day at an above-asking offer. In a 2025 review, another client described navigating a VA loan purchase with multiple contingencies alongside a simultaneous home sale. A recent 2026 review from a client relocating from Northern Virginia to Newburyport credited his knowledge of the local market for a smooth cross-country move. Sean's clients frequently highlight his work in the short-term-rental and vacation-property niche: reviews describe him helping clients acquire a first short-term rental on the NH seacoast (2024), a ski-house condo in North Conway, NH bought partly to rent out (2023), and a summer home on Plum Island (2025). Speed and negotiating leverage are recurring themes too — one 2025 review describes a home listed and sold in under a month with Austin and Hannah on the team, another sold 10% over asking, and a third describes selling an existing home off-market to save time while securing a new one. Given this consistent, detailed, multi-year record with no negative reviews on file, Sean is a strong option for North Shore and NH Seacoast buyers, sellers, and investors — including those looking specifically for short-term-rental or vacation-property expertise.
