Boston South Shore, Norwell, Scituate Real Estate

"Upon our initial meeting your honesty and your way of doing business really impressed us.  You gained our trust in a couple of hours and you know the area real estate market extremely well.  We want you to represent us." - B & G, Associates of a Scientific South Shore Environmental Company

"From the moment you listed our home, we knew we were in capable hands.  You brought more qualified buyers to see our home in the first two weeks than the previous brokers had produced from May through October.  Your contacts are legendary and your commitment most impressive.  As practicing attorneys, we appreciate your tireless efforts in negotiating on our behalf and keeping us informed.  Since we are both attorneys we recognized that you are an unsurpassed negotiator in getting us the best possible price and never forgetting that we were your clients."  - M & M S.

"Back in 1999 when our Main Street home was not selling, our son continually encouraged us to 'Give Patty Jackson a try.'  We had bought our new home and were then the proud owners of two Norwell homes.  You stepped in and guided us as to the course we should follow.  I was dead set against moving until it was sold.  You simply took us for a tour of our vacant antique home.  I was so impressed with how that home showed, within a week we were totally moved out.  That was the year we had a cruise to Alaska.  I was concerned enough to ask if you thought we should cancel.  You told us to go, have a good time, and upon our return you would have a buyer.  We did, you did, and two weeks after our return we passed.  This time our home went up for sale in the midst of a very difficult market.  Granted, I think the home was pretty special and unique but for it to sell within a months period of time I found a bit amazing.  That statement makes the process should pretty simple.  We both know were it not for your negotiation skills, who knows where we would be today.  I have recommended you to many friends and all I say to impress them of your value is, 'She doesn't just show your home, she sells your home.'"  - Robert E. Chatfield, Well Established South Shore Insurance Broker

"We remember in 1974 when looking for our first house in Norwell we chose you to help us as you were located right in Norwell.  We described our criteria and you explained that you would search and call us when you had a home that fit our criteria, i.e. you would not be calling us for every house that came on the market.  We were both working and so appreciated your good listening skills and the respect for our wishes and our time that you showed.  As new home buyers we got a bit stuck on newer homes that didn't really fit the criteria we had and you wisely pointed out to us the value of the slightly older homes in relation to that criteria.  We were so happy with our choice for our family home.  The value was great and we began our family there.  Eight years later when we needed more room we called upon you to help us again.  Your specific knowledge of the market prices, values and all the procedures and technicalities involved in the process of purchasing a home were invaluable to us.  You have always been so open and honest and hard working on our behalf, and let's not forget, so unbelievably patient with all the dynamics and all the players involved in a big undertaking such as home sales and purchases.  All of these skills are part of your masterful negotiation work as well.  You never forget who your client is and can always convincingly represent the facts to make the point.  Our house sold quickly at double the original purchase price.  Again in 2010, 36 years after first meeting you, we called upon you to sell our nest egg home in a depressed market because we knew you would do the best job possible.  You patiently worked with us to set a price and show the house.  In a relatively short time, less than half the expected time frame including 2 holiday months, we had a solid buyer.  You were unbelievably prompt in getting back to us on anything we needed, so helpful on the details and resources we needed to pass the inspection and proceed with all other tasks such as finding a rental to bridge the gap between houses, preparing for the closing, dealing with somewhat difficult personalities.  You were ever the calm and patient Patty.  Even in the depressed market we were pleased with the outcome.  We thank you for all the effort and energy you spent on our behalf.  You are the only realtor for us - the consummate professional real estate broker.  As we search for the next home together we look forward to keeping our contact up!"  - Monahan

"We had lived in Scituate for over thirty years, and we knew a number of real estate brokers personally.  Although we did not know Patty Jackson, our attorney amongst others had recommended her to us stating that she was known for obtaining high prices for the clients she represented.  Until we experienced the services of JACKSON, Ltd., we felt that a larger franchise real estate company was the only route to go.  How wrong we were!  From the moment JACKSON, Ltd. listed our property, we knew we were in the hands of an expert of great experience.  It was always clearly evident that we were being very well represented.  At the time of sale, Patty Jackson, negotiated a sale price that was, in fact, thirty thousand dollars in excess of the counter she knew we would accept.  That was truly extraordinary.  We have since learned that this is a no infrequent occurrence, resulting from her strong negotiating skills.  If you are selling your home and want to obtain the highest price possible, JACKSON, Ltd. is the one to have on your team."  - G & B Delaney, Airline Capt. and Long-time Resident of Scituate

"Transactions at this level require a sale person of your caliber with experience that know how to reach the goal line.  We were dealing with properties of significant appreciated values in a town and neighborhood that had yet to see sales at this level.  Your sales effort made this work.  Staying on top of potential buyers, working at a pace comfortable for them and only applying pressure at the appropriate times.  Lets face it, when selling homes at these prices, usually are to buyers that do not even know they are about to move.  Therefore, you must move very carefully in these situations.  Look at us, we were renovating our previous house a year ago and how we are in a new home doing renovations all over again with no intentions of ever moving until we received your phone call (thank you).  This is a very interesting market today, we have interest rates on the rise, we have prices of homes at their all time highs.  What we experienced with the sale of our residence was that we needed to take every potential buyer that showed interest in the property very seriously.  It became obvious to me, when you enter thte higher price market there are fewer and fewer buyers.  Therefore, every offer has to be carefully considered.  The all cash offer we received was a very interesting offer and I think if I acted quicker this would have come together.  These individuals that make these offers generally act fast and are real buyers that are in the market looking to make quick decisions.  Some buyers feel the need for a discount when they offer cash.  In all fairness, when there are no contingencies with a quick closing these offers need to be taken seriously in this market environment.  It all came together in the end due to your efforts in convincing the final buyer that this was the house for them.  I must say I am not sure that the outcome might have been."  - G. Pulsifer, Real Estate Consultant

"Your understanding of the town and the value of river front property was key in helping us consummate the sale.  During the negotiating process, as was the case with us, one usually arrives at a point when an impass is reached.  If that impass is not immediately resolved, a chasm results, that only widens with time.  Your recognition of this phenomenon and your interaction is what spells the difference between you and most other real estate brokers.  The average always seek the least confrontational and easiest short cut to solving a problem.  The "winners", on the other hand, recognize the issue and move to resolve that issue in the right way which preserves the integrity of their involvement.  While the average strive to deliver what is expected, the winners of the world always deliver more than expected.  You did this and you are a winner.  We will always be appreciative of your contribution."  - H & J Sarkisian, Founder of and Former President of Boston Stock Exchange and Owner of Oldest Boston Investment Firm

"You went way above and beyond in helping us with everything from contacts for financing to expediting our closing.  We are absolutely thrilled with our property and feel we were meant to be there.  Also, another thank you for helping us in getting an abatement on our property taxes, another major plus that happened because of your knowlege.  You are the best Patty!"  - Nancy Brighton, Probation Office Manager

"When my wife and I were ready to find a new home, I contacted JACKSON, Ltd. because I was aware of Patty Jackson's reputation as a seasoned and knowledgeable real estate resource.  We found out that she was much more than that.  Not only did Patty find the perfect property for us, she made the process as stress free as possible.  She kept us informed each step of the way and we were able to purchase the new property and sell our existing property through her company.  Patty's advice regarding preparation of our property for sale and pricing of the property for a difficult real estate market was instrumental in selling our home in a very reasonable time period.  She was also a wealth of knowledge regarding appropriate contractors and professionals needed to get our existing property ready for the market and for upgrading the property that we were purchasing.  Patty is a professional who believes in providing exceptional service and is someone that you will definitely want on your team if you are buying or selling real estate."  - Peter Fairbanks, P.E., President of Bluestone Energy Services, Ltd.

"I want to express our appreciation for the exceptional and professional way you have handled the sale of our home.  We would have been quite happy with the original offer, but you knowing the real value of river property were able to negotiate a good 10% in addition to that.  It is a pleasure to watch your representative at work with your best interest in mind."  - Phillip Causer, Nemco

"We want to express our appreciation for your resounding success in the sale of our home.  Because I work in professional services, I know the value that character, attention to detail, follow-through, seven day accessibility, and partnership bring to a process that could accurately be described as a marathon.  With respect to our work together, we were impressed with your sensitivity around our initial approach to the market, the professionalism of your Open House team, including Nancy and Dave, the Open Houses themselves, the insightful screening and development of  potential buyers, and the entire as well as your blend of statesmanship and market reality skills applied to price negotiation.  On the other side, we also were delighted by your representation in the purchase of our new home.  That process was more complex than it should have been due to the balkiness of the seller and selling broker, and you had a nice touch in managing us through those frustrations.  Thank you again Patty for professionalism and nurturing during our recent life-transition."  - Rick Railsback, Senior Partner of Korn/Ferry International
