Esther Summersett, REALTOR

Most listing agents hand you a to-do list before the photos get taken. Esther Summersett's firm says it does that work itself — cleaning, painting and carpentry to get a house ready to show, alongside the listing. She works out of 614 Washington St in Lynn under Hadassah Homes, the brokerage her site names as her own. The firm represents buyers, sellers and investors across Massachusetts, pairs that with interior design and pre-sale property preparation, and also points clients toward investment properties in the Dominican Republic. Her site names her as broker-owner, a REALTOR® and interior designer, with one other agent on the team. Her Massachusetts real estate broker license, 9575804-RE-B, is active. The client history is short and pulls in one direction. Google carries a 5★ average across 13 ratings, and the written comments echo it: this February, a customer of several years pointed to steady communication, and another left an unqualified recommendation the same month. Five written reviews spread across three sites since 2022 is thin, though — enough to see a pattern forming, not enough to call it settled. Two things worth pinning down before you sign. The property-prep side — the cleaning, painting and carpentry that get a house market-ready — is the firm's own description of what it offers, so ask who actually performs that labor and how it is billed next to the commission. And with two agents on the roster, ask which of them will be running your transaction day to day. A reasonable call for a Lynn-area buyer or seller who wants the listing and the make-ready work handled by one office. Ask for recent local closings before you commit — the comments are positive, but there are only a few of them.
