Shirley Freeman, REALTOR®

“Working with Shirley was like partnering with a trusted friend. Shirley (and Maddison) took the time to know me and what truly mattered to my family, they provided timely information, insight and relevant options. Shirley enabled me to narrow my scope and ultimately kept me realistic. When I found my perfect option Shirley worked relentlessly behind the scenes to coordinate the timing of buying and selling for an optimal outcome. Her professionalism and communication style was comforting while juggling life plus real estate. My family loves their new Lakehouse, we've already started making memories to treasure for years to come.”

“While I appreciated Shirley's services overall, the process did feel rushed once the house was ready to be listed. However, it sold near our asking price and we didn't need to leave it in a perfectly cleaned out state. There was also some miscommunication about selling it furnished which wasn't made clear to me prior to the first open house. Lastly, I feel the closing was rushed by being pushed up to over a week before initially planned, and I didn't feel like I was given a counter option with the buyers. It added stress to an already stressful situation being that I was selling my father's home to care for his wife.”

“Shirley was very responsive. She was very helpful and we enjoyed working with her.”

“When we ran into an issue that jeopardized the closing, Shirley demonstrated professionalism in trying to resolve the issue while advocating for my best interest. The issue almost resulted in a critical delay but she acted swiftly to remedy the issue and saved the day!!”

“Shirley is very best real estate agent you will ever work with buying or selling property . She is exceptional ! Pays attention to detail, knows her markets and gets you the very best deal . We have had her for several properties and I asked her to find a house for my grandchild . She found her the perfect house and educated her as a first time buyer in everything she needed to know . You will not find another realtor like her anywhere !!”

“Shirley has been an attentive and responsive agent whose knowledge and experience is enhanced by the highly skilled team(s) she has resource to in serving her clients.”

“We found Shirley to be knowledgeable and professional . She persevered until the condo was sold and followed up on every lead and question during the process.”

“Shirley, and her colleague Lisa Adair, were great communicators and professionals. They were dedicated to meeting commitments to us as sellers. I would use them again at any time.”

“Shirley and Lisa were perfect together. We are grateful for the professionalism!”

“Have worked with Shirley several times and have been extremely satisfied. We trust her advice implicitly and have recommended her to family as well. Will always choose Shirley for our real estate needs.”

“Shirley will always be our agent . We have bought and sold multiple properties and would never use anyone else . She is professional, extremely well informed about properties and great to consult with about any detail . Had my granddaughter and her fiancé use her as well in buying a home . They thanked me profusely for recommending her to them. She stayed with them through multiple properties they looked at and treated them the same as she would a million dollar client . There is good reason she has so many return clients . Verani I is lucky to have her as their agent !! She is the best !”

“We found Shirley very easy to work with and we benefited from her wealth of knowledge in her field. She listened to our needs and was patient as we explored our search. She always had our best interests in mind. We would certainly recommend, with pleasure, her services to our family and friends.”

“Shirley was such a huge help to us through the process of searching for a vacation home. Shirley gave us awesome advice around finding the best location to meet our needs. She also put us in touch with fantastic local resources for financing and home maintenance experts. I would absolutely recommend Shirley to anyone looking for a lakes region home.”

“Shirley was recommended by a friend who had recently sold in my condo association so I called her and was very satisfied with results. When I wanted to buy almost 100 miles south of Laconia, I asked Shirley if she could represent me in Nashua. She did and I was so taken with her friendliness and professionalism and how hard she worked to make buying the condo I wanted happen. There were some problems with the mortgage company and title company but she helped me work through them and I am so pleased.”

“Shirley has been my agent for three years since before the pandemic. Words cannot express what a wonderful agent and person Shirley is. She has handled countless showings with me and her approach is one of knowledge and true compassion in everything she does. Together we have presented offers on over a dozen properties prior the home I just purchased. I remember one offer where we had the strongest bid. However, the seller choose a lower offer for whatever reason. When Shirley called to break the news to me. I could hear the sadness, dissapointment and even a tear in her voice. Thats an agent and a person that cares about their client. Thats an agent that values relationships over commissions. Your company is blessed to have Shirley as a realestate agent. The world needs more people like Shirley Freeman. As my purchase is now complete I have lost my realestate agent. More importantly I have gained a friend.”

“Shirley was fantastic!”

“Shirley was very knowledgeable about Samoset and offered great insights throughout the process. A true professional and very easy to work and communicate with.”

“Shirley wrote an excellent offer, she took the time to explain all our concerns. Then compiled that information to write an offer that was accepted over and above other offers for more money for the house of our dreams.”

“Shirley provided excellent service and guidance writing an excellent offer that I believe was the reason they accepted our offer above some that offered more money.”

“It was great having Shirley as my agent. Unfortunately for her and I we had to deal with a very difficult situation. Shirley handled the situation like pro.”

“Shirley is fantastic. Her perseverance and willingness to stay with the listing when things were not so easy was much appreciated. She went the extra mile and always gave great advice. It was great working with her!!!!!”

“Shirley is a first class business professional who makes the experience frictionless and enjoyable.”

“We have sold several properties over the years. Shirley was, by far, the most professional, knowledgeable, helpful and patient agent exceeding all our expectations. Thank you Shirley 🤗”

“There is nothing I could say about Shirley that would be unsatisfactory. She was there for us all the time, guiding us, and helping us. She is a great asset to your company, never, but never let her go. Thank you Shirley!”

“Shirley did a great job not only getting all of the terms we were looking for but communicated with us as needed. Her presentation was through and the follow up until the closing took all of the pressure off of us. We would highly recommend Shirley and her team”

“Shirley was easy to work with. She kept us informed throughout the process and her knowledge of the area and associations was helpful finding the right home for us. I would definitely recommend working with her.”

“Shirley was outstanding throughout the process. She picked the right price assuming it would sell for more than our asking price. She was right on as we received multiple offers over asking price. Our property went under contract in 6 days. Shirley was there every step of the way making everything so easy for us. We would highly recommend her. We have had over a dozen property transactions and we can truly say that Shirley is at the top of the list of realtors that we have used. Dave and Liz”

“Shirley was absolutely phenomenal! We used her as an agent when we bought our house and used her again with selling. She has been exceptional with any and everything. Very detail oriented and explained things we had questions on. She even recommended someone for us to use as a new agent in a different state. Would 10/10 absolutely recommend Shirley Freeman!”

“Shirley did an amazing job from beginning to end and was great to work with! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“We used Shirley's services to sell our home. There is no one that knows the housing market better than Shirley. Her expertise in this industry allowed us to sell our home quickly and seamlessly, She answered all of our questions and took care of everything throughout the process. She had a professional photographer take photos and a video of our home and created beautiful marketing brochures as well. She is extremely responsive and worked tirelessly on our behalf. I highly recommend Shirley to buy or sell your home, You will not be disappointed!”

“It was a challenging closing with the builder and his reality agent, but Shirley negotiated a satisfactory outcome. She is becoming a good friend to my wife Joanne and me.”

“Shirley was so helpful in the process of buying our new home from start to finish. And when she wasn't available, her assistant Maddison was right there to help. The only negative I would say is that there are some quirks to our home that should have been disclosed. However, she may not have even been aware of them. Overall, the experience with Shirley was fantastic and we can say enough about how helpful she was to us.”

“Shirley did a great job for us.”

“Thank you so much for everything!!”

“Shirley made this transition easy and was very helpful and responsive.”

“Shirley was a wonderful person and agent to work with. She is extremely professional, but also understands the emotional side of selling a home. My husband and I found her so supportive and knowledgeable throughout this whole process. We will definitely recommend Shirley and will use her in the future for any of our real estate needs.”

“Thank you Shirley, you are a great professional and a terrific human being. We’ll see you again soon!”

“Very pleasant to work with. Got the home up fast and sold fast just like I needed.”

“Shirley did an excellent job dealing with very difficult neighbors!”

“We knew, after our first meeting, that Shirley was the right realtor to help us sell our home on Merrymeeting Lake. Her knowledge, experience and skill set were exactly what we needed. She was patient in explaining the process to us, navigating us through each and every step. She helped us find repair vendors and communicated regularly from initial meeting to closing, We were fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Shirley and will happily do so again in the future!”

“Great persistence and work ethic to get the sale of a very very challenging home.”

“Shirley was great to work with”

“I would absolutely choose Shirley again.”

“Could not have chosen a better agent! Thank you, Shirley.”

“Thank you for your services”

“Shirley did a great job helping to sell our condo in a quick and efficient manner. Her pricing of the property was spot on and the condo traded very close to that level. She was very communicative in guiding us through the process. We would recommend her to anyone interested in buying/selling property in the area.”

“.”

“Thank you!!”

“Shirley did her research on the land I sold snd was so knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend her for anyone selling property in NH.”

“Shirley is hands down the best!”

“Had accepted offer 12 days on Market. Quick closing. Very happy with overall experience. Flew up from Florida cleaned our personal items then flew back. Turned everything over to Shirley. Wanted to close by 4th of July. Actually closed early June.”

“Shirley was always willing to take us to see houses she was knowledgeable about the area and was very approachable throughout the process”

“Shirley was great - far exceeded expectations and in this situation worked her tail off...”

“Shirley was great - far exceeded expectations and in this situation worked her tail off...”

“Shirley was great - far exceeded expectations and in this situation worked her tail off...”

“Inquired about a condo listing that was her listing. Shirley has expertly guided us in two real estate purchases and one sale. Her conscientiousness and attention to detail is outstanding. We have bought and sold multiple properties in multiple markets through the years and Shirley is by far the best agent we have ever worked with. And she will be the only agent we work with in the future should the need arise again.”

“Working with Shirley was great. She gave us great advise and we got our dream home”

“We loved working with Shirley and would recommend her.”

“Shirley is the best!”

“Shirley is a professional in every sense of the word. She has a unique ability to take on all the worry for her clients, which makes the stressful process of moving just a little bit easier. Her attention to detail means nothing is forgotten, and she has incredible stores of patience when dealing with the emotional side of home buying/selling. We feel lucky to have met Shirley. My husband and I have bought and sold many houses over the years and Shirley is by far the best and most skilled realtor we've ever worked with. Wish we could give more than five stars!”

“We have used Shirley twice and both times Shirley exceeded our expectations!”

“Shirley is very knowledgeable about the Lakes Region market and current trends. She provided sound advice from marketing our property until closing. She held more open houses than we realistically expected and made many additional private showings. Being local she was able to respond quickly and made herself available without much notice. Regarding the search for a replacement home, Shirley sent many desirable listings our way but they disappeared before we were able to view them. She ultimately brought us to Governor's Crossing. The houses were desirable but part of an association, which we were trying to avoid. We saw the lots on Pendleton and Endicott and she quickly introduced us to the builder. After one meeting we decided we wanted to work with him and it's been a pleasure since. The house is currently under construction and we are enjoying working with the builder. This has added much needed excitement in an otherwise dreary year. Shirley provided exceptional attention helping us build and sell and we look forward to an ongoing relationship.”

“She’s quick and efficient!”

“Shirley explained steps and finalized our sale with sending papers. She was thorough and helped by explaining our options with listing our home.”

“Shirley is 100% professional and very knowledgeable about the market. She discussed her marketing plan with us and immediately put it into action. We had 4 offers within the first week and sold the property for more than the asking price! Can’t say enough about her.”

“Shirley provided beyond exceptional service. She has been so responsive and is always ready to answer any question with great advice. Her hard work has allowed us to get our dream house!”

“Shirley is incredible. I don’t know how she can physically make the time to be as available, accessible and as helpful as she is. I’m convinced she shares the stage with a clone...maybe two or three clones.”

“Shirley is professional and friendly. She has a great deal of knowledge.”

“Great job making the closing quick and simple”

“Shirley's reputation for Samoset is incredible. Before we met her, we saw her working for Seller and looking out for buyers through the Samoset page. Everyone that talked about her expressed her detailed knowledge of not only the Samoset compound, but the lakes region in general. We met Shirley when Samoset #5 went on the market. She was the Sellers agent, but we were so comfortable with her that we didn't pursue a buyers agent. Through the process of acquiring unit #5, we received timely accurate information and assistance in a process that led to us securing the property. At no point did we feel she had a conflict of interest, she was very professional in her communication between the seller and buyer. Based on that, we gave Shirley the listing to sell our condo, Samoset #131. She was collaborative, but made sure that we had control of pricing and strategy to sell the property. When we got the results of a very zealous inspector, she helped us separate the real issues from the 'negotiation' issues. She gave us good advice that led to a quick sale, with both the seller and buyer owning closing tasks. in my opinion, she overcame an emotional buyer agent and helped turn the corner and avoid arbitrary requests on their part. All through the process, she was extremely helpful, with a strong list of contracts that help the process - from inspectors, contractors, and especially internal politics at Samoset. Without Shirley, i can see that this would have been a much more stressful transaction.”

“We initially chose Shirley as our realtor, based on the fact that she was a resident at Samoset, where we were planning on selling/purchasing a condominium. We saw this as an advantage, as she was very familiar with the property, and could attest to the positive aspects of the units and lifestyle of its residents. We immediately learned that in addition to Shirley's familiarity with the property, that she was an extremely competent, efficient and knowledgeable realtor. Throughout our selling and buying experience, Shirley was readily available to offer advice, answer questions, and to guide us through the process. She communicated clearly, and always responded at her earliest convenience to our questions and concerns. When she was unable to answer a question, she was able to reach out to the appropriate resources, in order to provide the information needed. Shirley's calm and friendly demeanor put as at ease throughout what can often be an extremely stressful process. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Shirley as a buying or selling agent. Thank you, Shirley!!!”

“Couldn’t have done it without her!”

“Shirley was wonderful! I saw her work from the Samoset Facebook page. We immediately connected upon meeting and she made a potentially stressful time go smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone interested in that area with full confidence. Thanks, Shirley!!”

“Shirley was always friendly and helpful, easy to get ahold of and acted quickly. She did so many things for us last minute and was very flexible. She was happy to answer questions and give advice based on her experience. She had a good idea of what we were looking for in a house and suggested things to us we might not have otherwise found or considered. Shirley is great at her job and made a great last minute negotiation and fought for her clients! We would most definitely work with her again and will recommend her to our friends in need of a realtor.”

“Shirley was absolutely awesome and very knowledgeable! She was super quick with responses and showings and stood up for us when we needed it. She always met us at showings and was willing to drive all over for us and we loved having her. Would 10/10 recommend and love to deal with in the future!”

“I was on Shirley's mailing list for 3 or 4 years looking for a lake/ski property after meeting her at an open house. Finally the time was right and a good opportunity for our needs became available. Shirley was extremely diligent and corresponded with us early mornings or late at night as needed.”

“Shirley was very helpful from beginning to end. Always responded quickly to any questions that we had for her. Help to make our home buying experience smooth.”

“Shirley was amazing. We lost our daughter during this process of buying our home and she went above and beyond to assist us. She was wonderful”

“We first met Shirley at an open house and immediately struck up a great conversation. That particular property wasnt the right fit for us but we were looking for a second home and were very new to the area aside from staying in an airb&b a few times. Shirley went above and beyond sharing advice on the different parts the lake, different developments, etc. She would spend considerably time talking in person with us or responding with detailed, thoughtful responses to questions over email. We subsequently found Shirley to be an invaluable resource and friendly face in the area and we viewed a number of properties with her over the next year or more. Shirley was by far the most proactive real estate agent we had met in the area. The perfect property for us popped up, Shirley forwarded the listing to us within less than a hour of it going live and we had a written offer in place an hour or two later! She facilitated every step of the process and this was the most pain-free real estate transaction we've ever been through. Shirley was an absolute pleasure to work with and in our experience a rare go-getter in the lakes area (shocking how many agents we met in that area who had zero motivation or follow through).”

“Shirley has a fantastic reputation for marketing and selling Samoset condos so I called her immediately when I decided to list. She was very easy to communicate with whether through texting, calling or email and did a great job finding us a buyer and negotiating through the entire process. I would highly Recommend Shirley for your lakes region realtor.”

“I met Shirley at a networking event and took to her immediately. She is a warm and kind person who is easy to talk to. I told her that I was in the market for my first home and that I knew nothing about the process and was intimidated by it. Shirley assured me that it was painless and she could make it happen and wall me through it all. Shirley did just that! She set me up with a lender and set up a meeting at her office. She kept an eye on the market and was very helpful with suggestions, she knew exactly what we wanted. She was amazing during the negotiations and was true to her word, and made it absolutely painless on my end. Shirley and the lender even got my closing date pulled in to an earlier date. Shirley is amazing! Not only did I get a realtor but I got a friendship with Shirley Thank you so much for finding us a home!”

“Shirley did a fantastic job in marketing and selling our condo! She kept us informed during the process and made great recommendations during the selling process. We would use her services again if the opportunity presented itself. We have recommended her to others.”
