Selling a home in Whitman
Whitman was settled as Little Comfort and was part of Abington until 1875, when it became South Abington. The town took the name Whitman in 1886. It is known as the home of the chocolate chip cookie, which Ruth Wakefield created at the Toll House Inn on Bedford Street.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Whitman 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
Whitman is a tight town built around its center and Town Park. Near the center, Capes, colonials and some multi-family homes sit close to the sidewalk on older blocks. A few streets out, the lots get a little deeper, so I price from sales close to yours.
Whitman Town Park was designed by the Olmsted Brothers and has a pond, a walking loop, a pool and a gazebo. Hobart Pond has a paved path called The Boulevard, and Hobart Meadow and Bear Meadow are conservation land. Whitman has no ocean beach.
Whitman buys its town water from the City of Brockton, which treats water from Silver Lake. Large parts of town are on town sewer, which is pumped to Brockton’s treatment plant. Trash and recycling are picked up weekly at the curb in carts.
Schools
Whitman shares the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District with Hanson. The Pre-School Academy at Whitman Hanson serves preschool. John H. Duval and Louise A. Conley Elementary Schools serve kindergarten to grade 5, and Whitman Middle School serves grades 6 to 8. Whitman-Hanson Regional High School serves grades 9 to 12, and Whitman is a member town of South Shore Tech in Hanover.

Reasons to sell in Whitman
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.
