Truro Properties

North Truro's Truro Properties runs on one thing above all: renters who keep coming back. Across 36 Google reviews — every one of them five stars, part of a 4.9 average from 74 ratings — families describe returning to the same cottage three, five, even twelve summers running. The company says it's a full-service residential real estate agency handling Outer Cape home buying and selling with a specialty in Truro, plus a vacation-rental book run exclusively in Truro. It says broker Rick Bashian has held a Massachusetts real estate broker license since 1986 and lives in town, working alongside agent Connie Bashian, who the company says has sold real estate since 2005. The reviews read less like marketing copy and more like a running conversation among regulars. One family has kept the Rose Cottage three years straight; another has rented through Rick for twelve summers; another has held the same condo for eight years. Rick's name shows up in nearly every review — described answering calls and emails no matter the day, sorting out small problems mid-stay, and steering first-timers to "the perfect place" through a website several call easy to navigate. In a 2023 review, one renter described finally landing an open week after nearly 30 years of trying, with Rick fielding the last-minute request the same day. Three reviews landed in the last six months, all five stars, continuing a run with no negative review on file going back to 2021. Nearly every review on record describes a rental stay rather than a home purchase or sale, so anyone buying or selling has less written history to go on than a renter does, even though the same broker handles both sides of the business. For a summer rental in Truro, this is about as consistently well-reviewed as it gets — worth reaching out early, since regulars tend to lock in the same properties year after year. Buyers and sellers get the same broker but a thinner public track record, so it's worth asking Rick directly about recent sales experience before listing or making an offer.
