“If not the most talented and detail-oriented realtor, Michelle Silverio, is among them. Thank you for your help acquiring our properties. We greatly appreciate all the long trips to help us achieve our goals. Thank you Michelle and we hope that your professionalism and charisma brightens many other families lives.”
“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
“El seńor Juan lopera,excelente agente vendedor respetuoso al entrar a la propiedad igual que su equipo de trabajo ,muy buena comunicación,siempre pendiente durante todo el proceso de venta. Gracias.”
“I'd strongly recommend Jill! We felt like we were in good hands every step of the way”
“Kathy is absolutely everything that a seller or home buyer wants in a real estate agent. In the original purchase of our home and now with its sale, Kathy is an agent's agent. Having assigned the highest level of commendation in every category of this evaluation above, it should be clear that we consider her efforts on our behalf to be flawless. She was our agent in the beginning and she is a friend at its conclusion. Our friendship will continue for years to come. It would be my priviledge and pleasure to share my assessment of Kathy as our agent for purchase and sale with any prospective clients if deemed helpful and appropriate. I can't evaluate her with any greater clarity than to say that she is "an agent's agent" and "the best of the best."”
“Rosa stepped in when we were not getting anywhere in finding a suits property. Within 72 hours Rosa had several viewings booked and we had 2 offers in place. Ultimately she brokered a great deal on the perfect place to purchase. She continued to work with us throughout the process and closing. She even helped communicate with the previous agents when we needed something fixing. She is an excellent agent and great ambassador for Real Satisfied.”
“Great real estate experience with Charlotte. I recently had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as my realtor, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her outstanding service throughout the entire home buying process. From our initial meeting to the closing day, Charlotte demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that greatly met my expectations. One of Charlotte's standout qualities is her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand my preferences and priorities, providing valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and future market trends. Her expertise not only streamlined the decision-making process but also ensured that I made informed choices.”
“Shawn and Dee were amazing. They made the process very easy and were always available for questions or guidance.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“We can't say enough good things about our experience with Sarah. Throughout the buying process, we always felt that she understood our needs and put our best interest first. She was professional yet completely approachable, and she has given us many tips about our new neighborhood and the surrounding area. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Boston area.”
“Chris Cassidy comes across as a very honest, and approachable person. Chris was involve in selling a 2 family for me , which was caught up in the Columbia Gas crisis which occurred shortly after he listed it. The Columbia gas problem affect homes in a huge area.The property for a few months was essential not able to be sold because of the Columbia Gas issue. During this time Chris did his best to show, and the sell the property. Eventual after Columbia Gas finally fixed all the gas lines that were affected Chris was then able to find the buyer for this property. Took months, but Chris never gave up, or showed any disinterest. I plan to work with him in the near future.”
“Kyle moore and kim arsenalt saved my llife. I Just had a son. Lost my mom. My paperwork wasnt great. these 2 put things together that i couldnt have emagined.hear i am now in a multi. Tenants ask how i want the rent paid. I look at them like they're crazy for 2 seconds and say "check or M.O.".IF YOU Feel like me. Those are the ones you want on your team. Then grab KATHY as the lawyer. Shes the best too”

South Salem offers residents a lively, walkable community with tree-lined streets, convenient local shops, parks and cultural events, a strong sense of neighborliness, and easy access to downtown.
South Salem delivers an easygoing, coastal-neighborhood rhythm with direct access to the energy of Salem. Tree-lined side streets mix classic colonials, snug cottages, and thoughtfully updated multifamily homes, while Loring Avenue and Lafayette Street provide everyday essentials, global eats, and quick trips downtown.
Weekend plans often start at Forest River Park, where residents spread out for beach time, tidepool exploring, and harbor views; history buffs appreciate that Pioneer Village, America’s first outdoor living-history museum, sits inside the park’s bounds. The neighborhood’s academic anchor, Salem State University, adds year-round lectures, theater, and Vikings athletics to the calendar, and its O’Keefe complex draws fitness enthusiasts and fans alike.
Families value proximity to Salem High School and the Horace Mann Laboratory School, both part of Salem Public Schools. Commuters enjoy short rides to the MBTA Commuter Rail at Salem Station and handy bus connections, with easy drives to beaches and boutiques in Marblehead, restaurant rows in Beverly, and big-box convenience in Peabody. Even with these connections, South Salem retains a neighborhood feel—morning dog walkers, porch conversations at dusk, and the occasional sea breeze reminding you the harbor is close.
