Hoye & Duane, P.C.

One name does most of the work in these reviews: Jon Duane. Hoye & Duane, P.C. runs its real estate practice out of 21 McGrath Highway in Quincy, handling title work and closings for buyers, sellers, real estate agents and loan originators, and the firm says it covers Massachusetts statewide. By its own account, the practice is built around attorneys Jim Hoye and Jon Duane — both Suffolk University Law School graduates, with a combined 30 years between them. That is the firm's own description of itself, not something confirmed from another source here. Twenty-five reviews across three sources going back to 2021, and Google's 35 ratings sit at a 5-star average. What clients keep describing is not speed or price but translation — someone walking them through documents they have never seen before. A buyer who closed in February 2026 said Jon came recommended by numerous people and had a way of making the process manageable and easier to understand as first-time buyers. Another, closing the same week, called him informative and responsive, and said they would point any first-time buyer with little experience toward the office. The referral side runs deep too. In February 2026 a mortgage professional who has worked with Jim Hoye for close to 25 years wrote that he still gives sound advice to their borrowers — the kind of relationship that gets renewed rather than won. Worth knowing before you call: almost every client account here names Jon Duane. Jim Hoye appears mainly through the professionals who send him work, not through closings that clients themselves describe. If a particular attorney matters to you, ask who is assigned to your file. This is a sensible call for a first-time buyer or seller who wants the paperwork explained in ordinary language, and for agents and loan officers who need a transaction to move without drama. Ask which attorney will handle your closing and settle the timeline early — closings turn on dates, and that is the part clients here keep saying went smoothly.
