Sean K Connelly

The Last Realtor You'll Ever Want or Need
Twenty-plus years ago we purchased our first home. The luck of the draw gave us Sean. He was the best thing that ever could have happened to brand-new home buyers. He held our hands through everything - never making us feel any question was off-limits. Five years later when it was time to "upgrade" to a larger home, there was nobody else to call but Sean. Once again, he got us through a complicated sale with his calm, laid-back approach and genuine million-dollar smile. Fast forward another 18 years when we're empty-nesters and need to sell our home - who do we call? No question. Sean. The years had not dampened his sense of humor or market knowledge. We were skeptical about listing the home where he suggested, but we trusted him. And, thank god we did. Everything played out exactly as he described. Our home not only sold in FIVE DAYS, but went for $86,000 OVER asking! He then went above and beyond to help us organize and move everything out in time. How many realtors do you know that would postpone an important meeting to sweep out your garage? That's just who Sean is. When he takes your listing, he's ALL IN. He takes one of the most stressful events in life and makes it beyond manageable. Everyone should get representation this knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy. When I'm ready to buy again, there's no question who I'm going to call.

"My wife and I started working with Sean about 5 years ago. Sean was very patient with our process. The process was lengthy as our desired location encompassed a small radius of communities. Sean?s knowledge and network within those communities provided constant updates and insight of on-market houses and soon-to-be on-market houses. Sean is candid and flexible, yet pays strong attention to detail as needed. Sean also maintains great relationships with local agents making our home buying process fantastic. We are so happy to be back in our desired town and loving our new house, all thanks to Sean!"
Emily (Swampscott)

"The best experience - A welcoming and warm personality - thorough and excellent in all phase of Real Estate knowledge. Fantastic resources to assist you in the process of selling or buying. Always available and willing to help in anyway."
Russ (Swampscott)

"Five star agent and experience

Sean quickly assessed our house, neighborhood, comps, and market data to accurately price our house and get us on the market in record time. Once listed, the open houses went off without a hitch but it was Sean?s experience in all types of markets that sets him apart. He proactively called other agents to find the perfect buyer for our house and the offer he secured was beyond expectations. He also has an army of resources to help homeowners sell and close with the least amount of stress possible. He is incredibly professional and easy to work with. Start to finish this was the best agent experience we?ve had and this is the 3rd property we?ve sold! I?d highly recommend Sean to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area."
Dana (Marblehead)

"Outstanding!

Sean went above and beyond to bring this sale to fruition. I am grateful to Sean for all that he did. Sean managed his way through some bumps in the road. Thank you, Sean"
Janice (Lynn)

"Experience does matter!

This is my 3rd transaction with Sean. 2 of the transactions were as smooth as could be. The 3rd transaction had complications from the buyers side and if it wasn't for Seans team and their knowledge, things might have gotten out of hand. I'm extremely glad I had them on my side to see the whole thing through."
Joseph (Chelsea)

"Sean puts the 'REAL' in realtor!

Sean helped me find and buy my house 6+ years ago as a first time buyer, and most recently sell it for a great profit as a first time seller. To say that he made my life easier is an understatement; he went above and beyond activating his network of professional allies (contractors, photographers, packing/staging specialists, inspectors, attorneys, etc.) to make the entire process of selling as easy as possible. He was extraordinarily proactive about market conditions and the things within our control to maximize how attractive + ready the home would be for new buyers. Yes he's professional, but what sets Sean apart is that he's personable and truly understands the human side of the experience of finding a new home. I felt seen and cared for in a way that went beyond a transaction - he's truly a trustworthy human who cares for his clients like friends. I can say with confidence that there is no one else I would buy/sell with in Massachusetts. He anticipated snags in the process ahead of time and advocated for me at critical moments - ultimately helping secure multiple offers over asking price. So if you need someone with real experience and market knowledge, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone as spectacular as Sean!"
Michaela (Lynn)

"My experience with having Sean Connelly, as my realtor, was above and beyond what I had ever experienced. Sean?s knowledge, communications and professionalism made the selling of my condo a wonderful experience. I would recommend Sean to my family and friends for he is very trustworthy in every respect. Thank you, Deanna Karwowski"
Deanna (Salem)

"Excellent!

Sean went above and beyond to help with the whole process from start to finish. He also has many contacts in the area for contractors to help with anything you might need. I would highly recommend him as an agent for any of your real estate needs."
Robert (Lynn)

"Fantastic Experience!

As a first time home buyer, I really had no idea what I was doing. Sean provided all the insight I needed and guided every step of the process from open houses to submitting offers. Then, once my offer was accepted, his team of experts made the whole purchasing process smooth and painless. Huge thanks to Sean and everyone on the William Raveis team!!"
Corey (Salem)

"Stop Look no further, Best Experience from start to finish Sean was more than helpful in finding us our house in a very aggressive market. He was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to find the house that fit our needs. Sean was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. Sean is knowledgeable about the market and also has great industry contacts that streamlined our entire process from start to finish. Grade-A experience all around."
Paul H. (Ipswich)

"Sean was extremely competent in handling our real estate transactions. He
negotiated the purchase of our house before it even hit the market and had our
home sold also before it hit the market. And he was successful in obtaining an
offer over the asking price. Sean was always available to answer questions and
give advice. He has become a real friend. We could not have asked for more in
dealing with Sean.
"
Donald & Marsha (Swampscott, MA)

"He was the sellers agent for a house we were buying and he couldn?t have been
more helpful. He was significantly more helpful then our own agent and I would
use him in a second if I was buying or selling a home. Great job, very caring and
full of knowledge.
"
Charlie C. (Marblehead, MA)

"After two years of marketing my house with no success, I met Sean. After
the last two realtors were unable to sell my home, Sean was highly
recommended to me. I was assured by many people that he would finally
sell my home for me and It only took a couple of months for him to
accomplish that. I was very impressed with his professional and
knowledgeable approach. I am extremely appreciative of all the work he
put into marketing and selling my home.
"
Diane T. (Diamond District, Lynn, MA)

"Buying or selling a home can be very stressful and can become complicated in one phone call and you need the right Representation - if you are buying or selling. WE CLOSED AGAIN TODAY WITH SEAN This is our third time selling with Sean and it always goes seamlessly. We have had very interesting homes only meant for the right buyer and Sean always seems to find them in a short period of time. Once we tried to lower the price and Sean insisted we give it a few more days. Literally in a few days we had our asking price. If you have every purchased or sold a home you know the process and so does Sean ? if you are a 1st time home/condo buyer you are in the best hands with Sean. Start your search today or list your home today and call Sean to start the process"
David (Swampscott, MA)

"Sean is great. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and always willing
to go the extra mile. I moved prior to house selling, so Sean made sure
the house was taken care of properly. He was easily reachable by text,
email, and phone, which really put my mind at ease. I only have positive
things to say about Sean! Highly recommended agent.
"
Ed B. (Marblehead, MA)

"Sean is a superstar. I was a bundle of nerves going to buy my first home, and basically could have talked myself into a cardboard box because I wanted to be through with the search process ASAP. He was a godsend in a competitive market that required thoughtful, strategic offers to cut through multi-bid scenarios in my price point, and always acted as a voice of compassionate reason pointing out the pros and cons of each home we checked out together. He is super responsive and has a phenomenal network on the North Shore that will benefit any buyer or seller. You would be crazy not to go with him---plus, he's just a genuinely fun and awesome human being!"
Michaela (Lynn, MA)

"It was a very pleasant & positive experience!
This was the first time I sold & purchased a home on my own. I was terrified at first but Sean very quickly put me at ease with his kind & knowledgeable approach to this multi- facades endeavor! Sean was always immediately available to answer my many questions & to walk me through the more complicated ones. On top of it all, he was a delight to deal with! I feel very grateful that I was fortunate enough to have Sean by my side through these 2 very successful transactions!
"
Starr Campbell (21 Mechanic St, Marblehead)

"The Best!
Sean couldn?t have made this experience more pleasant. Being first time sellers we were definitely anxious. Sean was amazing, sincere and beyond knowledgeable and made it such a smooth process. I cannot thank him enough!
"
Ashley Lewin (8 William St. Lynn MA)

"Above and beyond!!
Sean was extremely down to earth, kind and respectful above all?.never let anything fall behind. To say that Sean is an outstanding agent would be an understatement! He was organized and communicative with every step along the way. Throughout the process as first time sellers, he broke things down to give us a better understanding as to what to expect and goals to be met. I could not have asked for a better agent. If you want someone who takes pride in what they do and who will work with you as a team and not stand off to the side, then Sean would be the best one for the job! Thank you Sean so much for all that you?ve done! We greatly appreciate the outstanding effort and hard work you had put into this sale."
Anthony Lewin (8 William St. Lynn MA)

"Sean is a fantastic Realtor and knows Boston's North Shore well.
I worked with Sean on purchasing my first home in 2017 in downtown Salem. I was a 1st-time home buyer living in Florida at the time. Sean guided me through the purchase of my first home from afar effectively and professionally.

After 6 happy years in my Salem home, I decided to sell it and move out of state, again with Sean as my Realtor. Again, Sean was wonderful to work with: the transaction proceeded smoothly and I'm happy with the final selling price.

Sean is reliable, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and great to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell property on the North Shore!

"Great person!
I could not have been happier with my selling experience! The best!
Thank you!
"
Cynthia Brox Rowlett (107 Banks Road, Swampscott MA)

"True partner!
Sean was highly recommended to me by another realtor when I wanted to sell my home. I knew the timing of my listing would be tricky and Sean recommended that we prepare photos and the listing well in advance so when I was ready, he could just ?flip the switch?. He was extremely helpful in staging my place and brought in a talented photographer who made my home really stand out online.
Throughout the process, Sean made himself available to me at all times, answering questions and making sure I understood everything, every step of the way. My open house and subsequent negotiations could not have gone smoother. Sean has many years of experience and helped me when making a decision on which offer was the best one for me. As with most real estate sales, there are many small items or issues that come up. Sean handled everything, offering solutions and doing most of the leg work to ensure a smooth transaction. I am happy to recommend Sean If you are looking for a true and professional partner when selling your home. Thank you Sean!!
"
Stephanie Ragusa (49 Hathorne St, Salem MA)

"Sean helped us so much!
Sean was such a huge help to us during the sale of our house and the purchase of our condo. We had a lot of moving parts to these transactions and he assisted us in all aspects including helping our son find an apartment. Sean is always quick to respond to our questions and has a helpful list of contacts that helped get our property ready for the move. I highly recommend him as a realtor... 10 out of 10..
"
Terri Lombard (1004 Paradise Road, Swampscott MA)

"We did it again!
This is the 5th property that Sean has sold with me. I say ?with me? because Sean is the type of person that becomes a team with his clients. In my experience he has guided me in areas I wasn?t sure of and supported me in the decisions I?m confident in. Together we make a great team and I?m confident that he represents all his clients with the energy as he?s shown me! If you give him the opportunity, you won?t be disappointed!
"
Mark Delisle (4 Wallace Road, Lynn MA)

"Fantastic Professional!
Sean is the agent you need to have on your team. He goes the extra mile on each project related to your listing and sale -- whether it be virtual staging the property, to helping with connecting to those professionals (contractor, attorney, etc). He gets into the details of each and every aspect of the process -- which is super helpful since he understands how full the sellers'/buyers' plates are during this time. In addition, a delightful person who was there for any little or big question you may have.
