Selling a home in Lakeville
Lakeville was settled in 1717 as the western parish of Middleborough and became its own town in 1853. In 1675, John Sassamon’s body was found under the ice of Assawompset Pond, and the trial that followed set off King Philip’s War. Today Ocean Spray has its headquarters in Lakeville.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Lakeville owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the septic and well 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
Lakeville is a town of woods, wetlands and big ponds, and locals still name North Lakeville. Many homes sit on larger lots along Routes 18, 79, 105 and 140. Homes near the ponds and homes on wooded lots sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Locals call the lakes ponds: Assawompset, Great Quittacas, Little Quittacas, Pocksha and Long Pond. The Assawompset Pond Complex is New Bedford’s main drinking water source. Ted Williams Camp, the old baseball camp of the Red Sox legend, is now a town park. Lakeville has no ocean beach.
Many Lakeville homes use a private well, and most are on septic, so both come up early in a sale. Electric service is split, with most of town on Middleborough Gas and Electric. Owners who use the Transfer Station buy a sticker and town trash bags.
Schools
Lakeville is part of the Freetown-Lakeville Regional School District. Assawompset Elementary School serves kindergarten to grade 3, and George R. Austin Intermediate School serves grades 4 and 5. Freetown-Lakeville Middle School serves grades 6 to 8, and Apponequet Regional High School serves grades 9 to 12. Lakeville is also a member town of Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester.
Commute
Lakeville has no MBTA commuter rail station. The nearest stop is Middleborough station on the Fall River/New Bedford Line, where weekday morning trains reach South Station in about 65 to 66 minutes. The seasonal CapeFlyer stops at Lakeville station, on the Middleborough and Lakeville border.
By car, Routes 18, 79, 105 and 140 serve Lakeville, with I-495 just over the Middleborough line. The modeled peak drive to Boston is about 74 minutes.

Reasons to sell in Lakeville

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.

Inherited

I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo

How I help sellers

Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.
