Selling a home in Stoughton
Stoughton was settled in 1713 and split from Dorchester in 1726, and it once took in Sharon, Canton and Avon. The 1888 train station with its clock tower is the town’s best known landmark. The commuter rail still ends here, at the end of the Stoughton Branch.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Stoughton owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the sewer 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
The center near the station is the heart of Stoughton, with other streets spread around Ames Long Pond and off Routes 24 and 138. Homes near the center, by the pond and on quieter side streets sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Ames Long Pond hosts town swim programs, and the Bird Street Sanctuary has walking trails. Halloran Park, the Kolz Soccer Complex and a town golf course round out the outdoor options. Stoughton has no ocean beach.
Stoughton has town water from its own Water Department, with extra supply from an MWRA connection. The town sewer system flows to the MWRA’s Deer Island plant, and I check whether each address is connected. The town picks up trash at the curb every week.

Reasons to sell in Stoughton
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.
