Doherty Properties

These guys were great to deal with. I moved from out of state in 2014 and both Chris and Ben helped me find housing. Ben was very helpful, and showed us around several places and honestly described the pros and cons of each. It allowed us to make an informed decision and we were very happy with where we chose to live.
It’s great to have a place like this help you find housing if you’re moving from outside the area. They know the good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. You can search all you want online, but you’re never going to see «this place is in a bad neighborhood» on a listing.
I definitely recommend these guys. Plus, it didn’t cost us anything to use them. Chris has contacted me personally. They follow up and follow through, and to me, that’s the most important thing. Great job Ben, Chris, and team.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris and his capable team to anyone looking to buy or rent a place. He, Ben, and the rest showed us a ton of properties before we found the absolutely perfect house for our family. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and infinitely patient with our sometimes indecisiveness. But it paid off because I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Now Doherty Properties is managing our rental property and both the tenants and we are very happy. Everything is taken care of promptly, matters both routine and emergency, all for a very reasonable fee. Check them out and you won’t be disappointed.

If you are looking for a company to navigate the real estate waters then this is your company! They know everyone and everything about the market. This is a class A outfit with highly educated agents. The owner is a lawyer. Our agent had a Harvard PHD in physics. This stems from the founder of the company who has a long history of strong business and political relationships in the Merrimack Valley. We looked at condos. They knew the owners of every unit, the ins and outs. They talked us out of a few places based on knowledge we could not have found anywhere else. We landed at the right place to buy and glad we received candid advice. No pressure sales just high level of guidance. Would recommend to anyone in market!

Doherty Properties has helped us buy and sell our property over the years. They provide us with valuable insight into the market and have sold our house for record pricing in the market. Doherty Properties employs honest, hard-​working, and intelligent staff who go over and above to help make transactions smooth and stress-​free. Great attitudes and personal attention make them stand out among the crowded field in real estate. I highly recommend this company!

Chris is a consummate professional in the real-​estate business. When I was looking for my place, many moons ago, Chris and his team located exactly the type of place I wanted — a loft — in the exact price-​range I wanted. I’d do business again with Doherty Properties in a heartbeat.

Chris is the man. I met him back in 2006 while he was showing me properties, and he has been my go-​to real estate agent ever since.
He is first and foremost candid. He is very upfront about the market value of a property and would never sell you on false promises. It benefits him to develop relationships with his clients (such as myself) so that I return to him on my next rental or purchase. On a side note, Chris and his staff are a blast to work with. It can be a tedious process, but they keep it pretty light and there’s never any pressure to pull the trigger.
Aside from helping me find rentals, he helped me purchase my first new home last year. It was a pretty seamless process, making it especially easy for a first-​time buyer like myself. I know there’s a ton of red tape involved, so I appreciated his focus on the real important aspects of the purchase. He was always available to talk to when I needed help or advice.
I know Doherty Properties has connections across Lowell/​Chelmsford/​Westford/​Dracut, so I would highly recommend you give him a call and see what he can do for you. Thanks Chris!

Thank you to the thousands of past clients and the thousands who reach out to us each year to buy, sell or rent.

They were awesome! Very helpful and a pleasure to work with! I couldn’t ask for any better agents. Professional and knowledgeable staff.

Happy to say we had a wonderful experience buying our new home with Doherty Properties! Cannot say enough good things about Chris and his team! Thank you for making this process enjoyable! Highly recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy a house!

Its been two months since my purchase of my loft and BIG Thanks to Ben for all his help. BEN you made this purchase seamless. Great JOB

I would give no stars if I could. this place is horrible and the staff is terrible. No one responds in a timely manner if at all. I replied to a posting listed by one of the owners or family members for a place, and was contacted by Ben many days later. He tried to use cheap sleazy used car salesman tactics on me but was laughable. Doubt he is very good at his job. I didn’t want to work with him since it was too difficult for him to not suggest things that were out of my price range or inventory I wasn’t interested in. No one returns messages left on the main number and no one seems to reply back to emails. Don’t use this place, you can find a much better place that will not waste your time. Or better yet, go to their website and search and then just call the places directly, pretty much all of the places are easy enough to track down. This place must me some mom and pop shop, small family business that enjoys hiring poor quality employees that provide poor service and don’t mind losing potential customers by the hundreds. The experience was a joke, nightmare city.

These people are nearly singlehandedly and oh so selfishly making it impossible for a reasonable person to find a reasonable place to live via craigslist. They tag every town in Eastern Massachusetts in every ad they post, so that you can no longer use a geographic search function to look for a place to live. If you’re looking for somerville, these jerks want you to see their ads for Woburn or Lowell. And they post and post and repost so it’s mostly just their ads.
Now, if they are so willing to be so deceptive, and to actually OBSTRUCT a person’s search for a lace to live, what kind of experience must it be to actually try to work with them? I wouldn’t trust them to deliver a pizza let alone sell or rent a home.
To be fair, Foley & Soule Associates are also getting this exact review for the exact same reasons.

I contacted this agency about some listings they had. They never returned my phone calls or my emails, but they kept sending me updates asking me how they did and if there were other properties I was interested in seeing. Now, I can’t seem to get off their mailing list despite the fact that I have unsubscribed, emailed, and called them repeatedly requesting to be removed.
They deserve a 0 star rating!
