Client Testimonials

"Jeffrey helped us buy our home in Westford. He recently helped us sell our Westford home and represented us on the purchase of our beautiful new home in Wakefield. His knowledge and expertise made things flow smoothly as we needed to coordinate the sale, closing dates and the move. He went the extra mile to negotiate the best deal on our new home including the mortgage rate. It was a pleasure working with him once again, and I would highly recommend him and his company any time."

"Jeffrey managed to get sale contracts on two properties within a few days of listing through his excellent presentation of the properties and pricing advice to us. In these difficult times for the housing market, we couldn't ask for more. He sold our home in Sterling with out a hitch and also our investment property in Worcester. He had both properties under agreement with in 2 days of being on the market which is proof that his advice and marketing plan is exceptional. Thank You Jeffrey!"

"Jeffrey is an expert in the real estate field. he helped us years ago buy our home in Randolph and He marketed our home so that it stood out among the listings with beautiful pictures and an impressive flyer and sold it in just a few days on the market. He handled the negotiations when the inspection found a few surprises. The sale went smoothly. Jeffrey also handled the purchase of our new home in Bedford. He is very knowledgeable about the towns and cities of MA. His web site is the best around for searching MLS listings. When we found our perfect home, he helped us through negotiations and even got the price lowered more than we expected! I am so glad we had Jeffrey working for us. We are now happy in our new home in Bedford!"

"Jeffrey, Peter and I want to once again thank you for all of your hard work throughout our house buying experience. Your support and guidance during the process allowed us to look forward to becoming homeowners. We are all moved in and approximately half of the boxes are empty after a day of hard work. We are enjoying our new home very much. Thank you again, Kim, Peter and Meg Spiliakos"

"We're very happy to provide a reference for Jeffrey! We've worked with Jeffrey on the sale and purchase of homes twice in the past three years. Both times, Jeffrey provided top-notch service. I hope the information below helps to illustrate why we wouldn't think of calling anyone else for our home selling/buying needs. In 2007, we put our townhouse on the market, and with Jeffrey's guidance on pricing and prep, successfully sold it within two weeks. We found a home in Pelham, NH, and 1.5 weeks before the close date, the owner backed out. With our townhouse sold and movers lined up, we opted not to sue but rather to find another home, and immediately restarted our search. We quickly found a beautiful home in Dunstable, and with Jeffrey's successful negotiations and support from his extended team of Greenpark Mortgage (Chris Cowher in particular) and David A. Camiel counsel, we were able to close on our original date. Last May I lost my job, and with our priority shifting to raising our child, we wanted to downsize our expenses and called on Jeffrey to help us find another home. We listed our home in June, and within three weeks, we sold it for our asking price. Jeffrey negotiated a close date that allowed us time to find another home, and provided invaluable support in ensuring all of the many facets of selling and buying a home (e.g., Title V, smoke/CO inspection, etc.) were scheduled and completed on time, as well as stepped in as necessary to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. He spent many nights and weekends with us, scheduling and attending home appointments in all the surrounding towns, as we didn't hone in on our own criteria for our new home until a couple of weeks before the close date for the home we sold. Once again, Jeffrey and team went into high gear and got us on a fast track to process all the paperwork and hold our old and new home closings on the same day. Jeffrey worked to ensure we got the best possible sell and purchase price for our homes. And we were able to stay in Dunstable! His attention to customer needs, in-depth knowledge of the market, negotiation expertise, and extended support team are second to none."

"This year I bought my first home and want to share my experience. At first I was hesitant to contact a realtor to begin actually viewing homes for fear of being pressured into a sale that was wrong for me. I wanted to skip the stressful buying process and just be in my home. After months of reading article on the home buying process and viewing homes on-line to get a better idea of what was out there and the value of properties I decided it was time to take the next step. I contacted a few realtors and viewed homes with each of them looking for the best one for me. One stood out from the rest, his name is Jeffrey Bastress of StartPoint Realty. The others were professional and friendly, but I felt they were only interested in making the sale, trying to talk me into liking whatever home I was viewing. Not Jeffery, he made what is considered one of the most stressful events in life a painless, pleasant experience. He will tell you if he thinks the home is a fit for you or not. He also makes you feel like you are his only customer and respects your wishes in how you want to work with him. In my case I would find homes I was interested in and contact him through email to setup viewings. I didn't want to be called for any and every home that showed up in my price range. His extensive knowledge and experience of home construction and the realty business are very evident and reassuring. When we viewed property he was up front about the conditons of the homes we viewed. Knowing the cost of the home and possible future costs based on the condition of the property helped me make my decision. I felt with his knowledge and honesty I could buy a home without fear of any major financial surprises. There were times I thought I'd never find my home, based on the criteria I had set for myself. Jeffrey always reassured and encouraged me saying the right home would come along. He was right and when I finally did find the one for me he made the purchase process smooth and painless too; walking me through each step ensuring everything was taken care of in its proper time and sequence. If you are buying a home I highly recommend Jeffrey Bastress of StartPoint Realty. He is a really nice guy who is very professional, honest, patient, and knowledgeable. He will make your home buying dreams come true."

"Thank you for everything you did to sell the Lancaster house. We are very happy with the results and the final selling price. You were "right on" from the beginning but we didn't take your advice but once we did, we are happy the house sold so quickly as you said it would. We are hoping the new owners will have many years of enjoyment in their new home. I know we had 25 great years there but we are having fun in our new home. Our Daughters are thinking of getting in the business, and I will certainly send them to work with you and your team of professionals."

"I recently completed the sale of my condo and purchase of another. Jeff knew our market and we priced to sell. It sold in 4 days and we found what we wanted quickly as well-all minimizing the stress of it. It was all done in less than 2 months. Jeff is an excellent negotiator and got us good terms on both sales. He is attentive and very responsive to any concern. In plain english, hire him when you need a Realtor. You will be pleased."

"Our experience with Jeffrey Bastress was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the aspects of the home search. Since my wife and I were searching for our first home, Jeffrey educated us throughout the process and he catered to our every need. Jeffrey dedicated quite a bit of time to making sure we found the right home for us. He also has a very large number of professional contacts, ranging from home inspectors to financial companies to lawyers that can be used throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend Jeffrey to any of my family and friends who will be looking to buy a home in the future. Thanks again Jeffrey, you truly made this home search process an enjoyable venture and we really appreciate your expertise."

"Jeffrey Bastress is an experienced, top-notch professional who goes the extra mile to provide very high-quality, comprehensive service. Jeffrey helped us to sell our townhouse in Townsend within days of our open house. He also came through for us twice thereafter, helping us to negotiate what we thought would be our dream home in NH, and steering us through months of dealing with difficult sellers. Less than 3 weeks before we were to move in, the sellers backed out, and we were faced with having to cancel movers and find alternate living arrangements. Jeffrey and his team pulled out all the stops in helping us to secure what truly IS our dream home in Dunstable (see picture), with Jeffrey personally handling the time-intensive negotiations and ensuring that all of the necessary steps were done – within about one week's time. Moreover, he worked overtime to keep us on track with our original closing date for our townhouse, putting us in touch with a top-notch legal team at the Law Offices of David A. Camiel that provided the same level of service. Without a doubt, we would recommend Jeffrey and his team to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home."

"Jeffrey Bastress is a dedicated and knowledgable agent- a true professional! He helped me sell my home in Mansfield and buy a new home in Norton. I was totally impressed with the time he spent to assure full satisfaction with both endeavors. He was flexible and responsive and totally in tune with my specific needs! I learned a great deal from Jeffrey on both the sale and purchase process...and the main thing I learned was HOW MUCH I DIDN'T KNOW!! I would never consider another real estate move without Jeffrey's expert guidance. In fact. I have recently contacted him about my next purchase and he is already shopping for me as my Buyers agent in the South Shore area!"
