Selling a home in Mattapoisett
Mattapoisett’s name comes from the Wampanoag words for “a place of resting.” About 400 ships were built here from 1740 to the 1870s, including the whaler Acushnet that Herman Melville sailed on. The town split from Rochester in 1857, and Ned Point Light dates to 1837.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Mattapoisett 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
Mattapoisett is a harbor town on Buzzards Bay. Locals name the Village by the harbor, Mattapoisett Neck and Tinkhamtown, the rural area north of I-195. A harbor house and a house up the hill do not sell from the same list, so I price from sales close to yours.
Shipyard Park, Ned’s Point and the Nasketucket Bay State Reservation are favorite spots, and the Town Beach on Water Street has lifeguards. The town’s bike path follows the old rail line.
Mattapoisett has town water from 4 wells and a town sewer system, but I check each address. Owners use the town Transfer Station with a sticker.
Schools
Mattapoisett is part of the Old Rochester Regional School District for the upper grades. Center School serves preschool to grade 3, and Old Hammondtown School serves grades 4 to 6.

Mattapoisett is also a member town of Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester.

Reasons to sell in Mattapoisett
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

Closing
