Boardwalk Real Estate Corporation 348 Main Street, Reading, MA 01867

"We bought our home in 1993 through Jim Joly & Boardwalk. He made it seem so simple and easy. We really felt the he was looking out for our best interest. We told him what we wanted and he showed us that and others that we thought we would like. He always kept us up to date what was going on and make the entire process so memorable. When we closed on the house he gave us a beautiful drawing of the house that we cherish to this day. With that being said when we went to sell my husband's mothers house on Linda Rd in Wakefield in 2017, there was no one else that we could think of or wanted to list the house with. Jim Joly and the entire staff at Boardwalk are extremely professional while being personable at the same time. Jim walked us through all the steps and then listed our house. The house was sold literally within a week of it being on the market. The inspection, walk through and everything else went through without a hitch. Although it was hard to sell the house my husband grew up in Jim helped find the perfect family and put all our worries about selling the house at ease. Knowing this was my husband's childhood home he gave us a drawing of this house as well. These are thing that we will always cherish. We honestly can't say enough about working with Jim and Boardwalk. They are so knowledgeable about the market and areas that they list in. They walk you though everything so you don't feel lost and overwhelmed."

"Jim Joly was our real estate agent last year when we sold our condo and bought a house, both in Wakefield, MA. Jim was incredible from the beginning to the end of both transactions, guiding us through the complicated process of buying and selling at the same time, answering all of our questions, patiently waiting as we paused our search for a few months, and helping us understand potential renovations at our new house. He worked very hard for us and we appreciated it. I highly recommend Jim and Boardwalk Real Estate."

"My husband and I had the BEST experience working with Boardwalk Real Estate for the sale of our house in Beverly as well as the purchase of our new home in North Reading. Buying and selling at the same time can be super stressful and overwhelming, especially when building new construction, which is what we were doing for the purchase of our new home. Working with Jim and Renee made the process for selling our home incredibly easy, from the moment they came to assess our property straight through until close, we didn’t hit a single bump in the road. Jim and Renee took great time and care to ensure we got the very most out of the sale of our home, recommending which home improvements would increase the value and which ones weren’t worth us spending the time and money, and taking show-stopping professional pictures of our house for the listing, extremely valuable and greatly appreciated benefits to attracting buyers to our listing and also to ensure we weren’t putting additional money into our property that we wouldn’t get back in the sale. Boardwalk had a comprehensive marketing plan in place once our house was ready to be listed and set us up with a super convenient process for scheduling private showings. Two days after our house hit the market, we had an offer OVER ASKING! As for the purchase and building of our new home, Renee was a true professional answering the hundreds of questions that we had about the building process all while seamlessly juggling the endless number of tasks associated with the construction process. There’s so much that goes into it and big decisions need to be made fast, bringing the level of stress and pressure to a whole new level. Renee has us feeling calm and confident throughout, ensuring we were well informed about what was happening, when it was happening, and why it was happening, allowing us to focus on making the right decisions for our new home and enjoy all the exciting aspects of building our dream home. My husband and I lovingly dubbed Renee Real Estate Agent of the Year many-a-time throughout the process because she was constantly and consistently exceeding our expectations. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience working with Jim, Renee and the Boardwalk Real Estate team. They are top notch professionals who really know the in’s and out’s of buying and selling in this crazy Boston market. Giant THANK YOU to Jim and Renee for everything you did to make our DREAM HOME a REALITY! We are forever grateful for your help during this process. We can’t wait to have you over to our new house soon to celebrate! – Kim & Ryan Strout"

"There's no one better than Jim Joly. I've known Jim for many years and he helped me through every step of my first home purchase. He understands every aspect of the property business and I know I can always count on his honest, straight forward advice. If you're looking for a company to help buy or sell a home, look no further!"

"Couldn't have been happier with Boardwalk and James Joly throughout our recent home buying experience. James' deep industry knowledge and familiarity with local communities was very helpful when establishing a foundation for our search. He was virtually always available to meet for a private showing or open house and showed genuine interest answering our endless list of questions. His home construction knowledge steered us clear of potential money pits and his honest feedback proved to be accurate and more than appreciated. My wife and I were able to find the perfect home thanks to James. Highly recommend Boardwalk if you're looking for a team that puts the extra effort in for their clients."
