I sold a house with a gutted third floor and major structural issues. The house needed a full gut and rehabilitation. Jackie understood the problems and knew immediately what had to be done to sell the house. He told me I needed a structural report and helped me obtain one within a few days from an engineer he knew at a reasonable price. The report was instrumental in expediting the sale of the house because it presented all of the structural work needed to potential buyers up front, which turned out to be a brilliant move. He was present at the open house, unlike some other realtors, and was able to negotiate a non-contingency offer from a cash buyer the same day, which eliminated the stress of inspections, etc. He took the time to clearly explain the process even when I wasn't the being the most pleasant.

Just sold a condo through Jackie. It was the 9th time I’ve sold property and it was, by far, the easiest process and closing ever. He knows the market and made me feel as though I was his only client. Always available and frequently answered calls on the first try. He has a strong staff available to assist with open houses and follow-up with potential buyers. Gives practical, yet gentle, advice on how to make a place more saleable. He is committed to his profession and is knowledgeable about Massachusetts and Boston requirements. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
I have been a real estate Attorney in Boston for over 40 years; and, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jackie Rooney for over 30 of those years. Jackie's contacts and ties to the community are unlimited. In all of my dealings with him, he has conducted himself capably, competently, and professionally. He has, at all times, represented his clients with diligence, compassion, and respect.
I was debating selling my home in the fall. Jackie was able to provide the proper expertise to advise me to sell and to price it properly. My house sold only 4 days on the market, considering I put it up for sale in January, a typically slow time for real estate. He got me above asking price for my unit and was incredibly flexible and helpful during the close process. I would highly recommend Jackie.
