Selling a home in Bridgewater
Bridgewater was founded as a township from Duxbury in 1656, and it is the mother town of Brockton, East Bridgewater and West Bridgewater. Bridgewater State University started here in 1840 as one of the country’s first teachers’ colleges. The town was also known for its iron works, and Ironworks Park now sits on the site of the old Bridgewater Iron Works.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Bridgewater owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the sewer or septic and water details for your address, and lay out a clear plan. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

Neighborhoods and areas
Bridgewater has a busy center around the Town Common, where Routes 18, 28 and 104 meet, with the university close by. Farther out are the villages locals still name, including Scotland, Stanley, Pratt Town, Paper Mill Village and South Bridgewater. Homes near the center and homes on larger lots out of town sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Lake Nippenicket, which locals call “The Nip,” covers about 354 acres in the Hockomock Swamp and is popular for fishing, kayaking and birding. The Hockomock Swamp Wildlife Management Area and the Taunton River add more room to explore. Bridgewater has no ocean beach.
Town water serves the whole town from 9 active wells. Town sewer covers only about one-third of developed properties, mainly downtown, the Route 104 and Route 18 areas and the university, so many homes are on septic. The town does not pick up trash, so owners hire a hauler or use the Transfer Station with a sticker.
Schools
Bridgewater is part of the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District. Mitchell Elementary School serves preschool to grade 2, and Williams Intermediate School serves grades 3 to 5. Edward J.

Reasons to sell in Bridgewater
The worry, then how I help.
Upsizing
You do not want to sell before the next house is set.
I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.
A multi-family
Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.
I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work
The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.
I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.
Inherited
You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.
I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo
Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.
I read those before we set a price.
Buy and sell
You need to sell one home and buy the next.
I put both dates on paper before we list.
How I help sellers
From the first call through closing, you deal with me.
Pricing
I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.
Prep
I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.
Negotiation
I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.
Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.

A home on septic needs a Title 5 inspection at sale, and I check which one your address has before we list.
