With more than 20 years of real estate experience, Daniel works throughout Essex County and the surrounding North Shore communities. He combines local market knowledge with clear communication, professional listing preparation, digital marketing, negotiation, and steady transaction management.
North Shore real estate experience
Daniel represents traditional home sellers, buyers, downsizers, and first-time homebuyers, as well as families handling inherited and estate-owned property. For probate and estate transactions, he helps coordinate the real estate side of the process so the property can be prepared, marketed, negotiated, and brought to closing in an organized way.

Probate and inherited-property sales
When a loved one leaves a house or other real estate behind, an executor or personal representative may need to understand the property’s condition, value, timing, and sale options. Daniel helps families identify the real estate decisions that need attention, prepare the property for the market, communicate clearly with the people involved, and move toward a well-managed closing.
He can also work with trustees, beneficiaries, attorneys, accountants, and other advisors as part of a coordinated estate plan. His role is focused on the real estate transaction; legal, tax, and fiduciary questions should be directed to the appropriate licensed professional.

North Shore MA: What Makes This Region Special
The North Shore of Massachusetts is one of the most coveted regions in the state — and for good reason. Stretching from Lynn in the south to Newburyport in the north, the North Shore offers an extraordinary mix of historic seacoast communities, vibrant downtowns, excellent public schools, and convenient access to Boston via Route 128 and the MBTA Newburyport/Rockport commuter rail line. Whether you’re looking for a walkable urban neighborhood, a quiet coastal town, an affordable starter home, or a waterfront estate, the North Shore has something for every type of buyer and seller.
J. Barrett & Company — where Daniel Meegan is based — is the North Shore’s own real estate brokerage, headquartered right in Beverly at 100 Cummings Center. Daniel brings genuine local knowledge to every transaction, not just a broader “Massachusetts agent” who occasionally works the North Shore. He knows which streets flood in winter, which schools are best in which neighborhoods, which towns are appreciating fastest, and how to price a historic Victorian correctly alongside a newer colonial two blocks away.
North Shore MA City-by-City Buyer’s Guide
Beverly MA
Beverly is one of the most versatile communities on the North Shore, offering everything from walkable neighborhoods near downtown and Beverly Depot (commuter rail) to quiet residential streets in Centerville and Beverly Cove. Home prices in Beverly span a wide range, making the city accessible to first-time buyers while also offering larger colonial and Victorian homes for move-up buyers. Daniel Meegan’s office is in Beverly — he knows every neighborhood, street, and nuance of the local market. Learn more about Beverly MA real estate →
Salem MA
Salem is one of the most recognizable cities in New England, known for its rich history, thriving arts and culture scene, and outstanding restaurant and retail district along Derby Street and Washington Street. Salem offers direct MBTA commuter rail service to Boston (about 30 minutes) and a housing stock ranging from 18th-century historic homes in the McIntire District to multi-family investment properties in The Point neighborhood. Salem consistently attracts buyers from Greater Boston who want more square footage and character for their budget. Learn more about Salem MA real estate →
Peabody MA
Peabody offers some of the most accessible home prices on the North Shore, with a location that’s hard to beat — right on Route 128/95 and Route 1, with easy access to Salem, Beverly, and Danvers. The North Shore Mall, multiple grocery and retail corridors, and strong school options make Peabody a popular choice for families and first-time buyers. South Peabody and West Peabody attract buyers looking for newer construction and larger lots, while downtown Peabody Square has seen ongoing revitalization. Learn more about Peabody MA real estate →
Danvers MA
Danvers blends New England charm with modern convenience. The town sits at a major junction of Route 128, Route 1, and Route 114, making it one of the most commuter-friendly towns on the North Shore. Danvers has a strong school system, beautiful town green, and a mix of colonial and cape-style homes that offer excellent value compared to neighboring Beverly and Salem. Danvers also has an emerging dining and small business scene along Elm Street. Learn more about Danvers MA real estate →
Marblehead MA
Marblehead is one of the most distinctive towns in all of New England — a rocky peninsula jutting into Massachusetts Bay, with a historic downtown that dates to the 1600s, a world-renowned sailing harbor, and stunning ocean views. Homes in Marblehead range from working-class fisherman’s cottages in Old Town to multi-million-dollar waterfront estates on Marblehead Neck. The town consistently ranks among the most desirable communities in Massachusetts. Learn more about Marblehead MA real estate →
Swampscott MA
Swampscott offers a rare combination: a walkable oceanfront town with direct MBTA commuter rail service to Boston (approximately 30 minutes), excellent public schools, and a strong neighborhood identity. The town’s beaches — Fisherman’s Beach, Eisman’s Beach, and Blaney Beach — make it especially popular with buyers who want the Massachusetts coastal lifestyle without the premium of Marblehead or Manchester-by-the-Sea. Learn more about Swampscott MA real estate →
Lynn MA
Lynn is one of the most exciting real estate stories on the North Shore right now. The city offers oceanfront views along Lynn Shore Drive, some of the most affordable single-family and multi-family prices in the region, and direct MBTA commuter rail service to Boston. Neighborhoods near Lynn’s revitalized downtown and the waterfront have seen strong appreciation, and Lynn continues to attract buyers priced out of nearby Salem and Beverly.

Buying a Home on the North Shore: What You Need to Know
The North Shore real estate market is competitive — inventory is limited across nearly every price point, and well-priced homes in Beverly, Salem, Marblehead, and Swampscott routinely receive multiple offers within days of hitting the MLS. Here’s what buyers need to understand heading into the North Shore market:
Get pre-approved early. In a competitive market, sellers take pre-approved buyers more seriously. Work with a mortgage lender to get a full pre-approval (not just a pre-qualification) before you start touring homes.
Know your commute priorities. The MBTA Newburyport/Rockport line serves Beverly, Salem, Swampscott, Lynn, and other towns. If you’re commuting to Boston, proximity to a commuter rail station can dramatically affect your quality of life — and your home value over time.
Understand historic home considerations. Many North Shore communities have significant historic housing stock, especially in Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, and Gloucester. Lead paint disclosures, older electrical systems, and historical preservation requirements are part of buying in these towns. Work with an agent who understands these nuances.
Work with a hyper-local agent. Knowing the difference between a home on a street that floods and one that doesn’t, or understanding why two similar homes have a $50,000 price difference, requires street-level knowledge. Daniel Meegan lives and works on the North Shore every day. Call (617) 388-8500 to discuss your buyer goals.
Selling a Home on the North Shore: Daniel Meegan’s Approach
Daniel Meegan’s marketing system is built around one goal: getting North Shore sellers the best possible price in the shortest possible time. His approach includes professional photography for every listing, targeted digital advertising on Facebook and Instagram, exposure on the MLS and major platforms (Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia), and a proven pricing strategy based on hyper-local comparable sales analysis.
North Shore sellers often face unique considerations: lead paint disclosures for pre-1978 homes, historic preservation requirements in certain districts, and pricing variability between neighborhoods that can seem similar but command different market premiums. Daniel’s experience with estate and probate properties also makes him a trusted resource for families navigating the sale of inherited or estate-owned homes across Essex County.
