Selling a home in Marion
Marion was settled in 1679 as Sippican, part of Rochester, and became its own town in 1852. It is named for Francis Marion, a hero of the Revolution. Grover Cleveland spent summers here, and Tabor Academy is in town.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Marion owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the sewer or septic and flood map 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
Sippican Harbor is the center of Marion life, and the harbor is home to one of the largest sailing fleets in Massachusetts. Locals name Sippican Neck, Converse Point, Great Hill Point and East Marion. A house on the water and a house a few streets back sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Silvershell Beach is the town’s public beach, and a resident beach sticker is $10.
Marion has town water and a town sewer system, but some homes are on septic. Owners use the Transfer Station on Benson Brook Road with a sticker.
Schools
Marion is part of the Old Rochester Regional School District for the upper grades. Sippican School in Marion serves preschool to grade 6. Old Rochester Regional Junior High serves grades 7 and 8, and Old Rochester Regional High School serves grades 9 to 12, both in Mattapoisett.
Commute
Marion has no commuter rail station. The Fall River/New Bedford Line stops in Middleborough and in New Bedford, where weekday morning trains reach South Station in about 65 to 66 minutes and 93 to 101 minutes.
By car, I-195, US-6 and Route 105 serve Marion.

Reasons to sell in Marion
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.
Buying in Marion

Marion has a town sewer system, but some homes are on septic, so it depends on the street (Source: Town of Marion Sewer Rates and Connection Fees page and Town Sewer Map, read 11/9/2026). I check the sewer map for your address, and a home on septic needs a Title 5 inspection at sale.
