Betsy is the absolute best realtor around Salem. She always makes it work. No one else even comes close. Beware the imposters! I have had two transactions with Betsy and they were both flawless, and I have bought and sold dozens of properties. If you are buying or selling in Salem, she is the one to work with hands down!

I too had an extremely negative experience with Terry St. Pierre!! I wish I had read the reviews about her online before I worked with her! I've bought and sold multiple properties for 20 years with great ethical professionals. Terry St Pierre is not professional whatsoever.

I've had nothing but great experiences with Merry Fox and Teri St. Pierre. Teri was with me through the purchase and sale of three properties in Salem between 1998 and 2019 -- my condo on Carlton Street, my house on West Ave, and my two-family on Endicott -- and she consulted with me on the purchase of three out-of-state properties. That's six transactions that she was directly involved in and three where she helped out and they all went off without a hitch thanks to Teri's professionalism. I wouldn;t make a move without her.
