Selling a home in Brockton

I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Brockton owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the water and sewer 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
Brockton is the largest city in Plymouth County, and the housing changes block by block. Locals name Downtown, Montello and Cary Hill in the North End, Campello in the south, and the West Side and East Side. Near the older centers you still see triple-deckers and other multi-family homes, and farther out the streets turn to Capes, ranches and colonials. I price from sales close to yours.
D.W. Field Park, shared with Avon, has ponds, trails, a golf course and the 1928 Observation Tower. Brockton has no ocean beach.
Brockton has city water and city sewer across most of the city. The city picks up one barrel of trash per family each week, and extra trash goes in green “Brockton” bags.
Schools
Brockton Public Schools runs the city’s schools. Brockton High School serves grades 9 to 12, and the district has six middle schools: Ashfield, East, North, Plouffe, South and West. There are many elementary schools across the city, and Brockton is also a member of Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School in South Easton.
Commute
Brockton has three commuter rail stations on the Fall River/New Bedford Line: Montello, Brockton and Campello. Weekday morning trains reach South Station in about 39 to 40 minutes from Montello, 42 to 43 minutes from Brockton and 46 to 47 minutes from Campello.
By car, Route 24 runs along the west side, and Routes 27, 28, 123, 14 and 37 cross the city. The modeled peak drive to Boston is about 50 minutes.

Reasons to sell in Brockton
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.
