William Raveis Real Estate - Marblehead

Every written review this Marblehead branch of William Raveis has is a one-star. Seven people have rated it on Google, averaging 2.1, and the four who wrote anything were all unhappy. The most detailed account, from July 2023, comes from a landlord. They said the listing agent put renters in their unit without checking past evictions or running a criminal background check, that those tenants then went two years without paying, that the office took no responsibility, and that it refused to reimburse the listing fees. The most recent, from May 2026, is about conduct rather than a transaction: the reviewer called their interaction with an agent horrible and alleged that the agent had posted a review of her own office. That allegation is the reviewer's, not an established fact, but it is worth knowing when reading any positive rating here. The two shorter comments are a July 2023 warning that called the business "dirty, lazy" and said one star was too high, and a July 2022 caller who was never rung back and hired someone else. Four comments across four years is a very small base, and none of them describes a completed purchase or sale — they are about a rental placement, a returned call, and how people were treated. This is a branch office rather than a single practitioner, so which agent a client ends up with matters more than the name on the door. Ask for that agent by name, and if you are listing a rental, ask exactly how tenants are screened and get the answer in writing before signing a listing agreement.
