CherryPickingProperties Real Estate

CherryPickingProperties works out of a single downtown Lynn address — 1 City Hall Square — and one name runs through everything the company publishes about itself: Karriem Cherry, the agent its own site puts front and center. It calls itself a locally owned Boston-area business, and the patch it claims is Boston and Lynn. Selling is the pitch. The company says it represents homeowners listing their houses, and also works with buyers and with renters — a mix that fits a small shop taking the work the neighborhood brings. On Google it carries a 4.7 average across 22 ratings, and the reviews that exist run strongly positive, with the praise pointed at the agent rather than any office or team. The catch is depth. Sixteen reviews across three sources, all dated between 2021 and 2023, is a modest history — and not a current one. For the largest transaction most people ever make, that leaves little recent outside word about how the business operates today. One thing to settle before you sign anything: the site states the company is a licensed broker in Massachusetts, but names no license number, and that claim has not been checked against the state registry. Massachusetts publishes its broker and salesperson licenses, so ask for the number and verify it yourself. A reasonable call if you want a small, local agent for a Lynn or Boston sale, purchase, or rental, and you value working directly with one person. Confirm the license, and ask what he has closed in the last year or two.
