Working with J. Barrett & Company was a great experience. Daniel Meegan walked us through the entire process of an estate sale, making it easy to understand and to manage from a distance. Living in a different state and 9 hours away, Daniel went above and beyond with coordinating services and monitoring the improvements that needed to be made for the sale. Our family was faced with difficult decisions, but Daniel had community connections that he was able to call upon for help.
Daniel really came through for our family, advertising the home well which ultimately resulted in a quick sale. I am still in awe on how Daniel found a team to remove a 200-600 pound safe from the home’s basement. In addition, Daniel coordinated cleaning services so the house could be appropriately staged. He also coordinated services with a team that assisted with the final clean out of the home, relinquishing our need to manage household items that were not wanted and trash removal.
It is noteworthy to say, Daniel takes care of his clients, and for us, he surpassed expectations. Daniel even chased after and recovered our dog after she escaped from the home. Daniel is dedicated and committed to doing whatever he can to help those he works with.
Communication is also something to remark on. No matter what time of the day, Daniel was always available to take my call. In addition, he worked closely and effectively with my probate attorney in the sale. If you’re looking for an extraordinarily knowledgeable realtor and expert, Daniel is your guy!

My family and I have worked with Dan on four transactions over the last four years. The first one was without question the largest and most time-sensitive. My grandmother was terminally ill and about to enter hospice. Dan made the entire process of selling her house in Salem quick and efficient, all while dealing with her estate. Overall it was a tremendous success and due to Dan’s attention to detail and sense of urgency, we made the sale in a very short amount of time. After this transaction, I bought a house in Saugus, my mother sold her house in Georgetown, and she eventually bought property in Saugus as well. We used Dan for all of these transactions and he is without question a member of the family. We could not have done this without him and he is truly one of the best. He is passionate about his work, enjoys helping others, and makes navigating all types of real-estate transactions extremely streamlined and simple. Any obstacle we faced during our transactions was met head on and resolved very quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Dan to all of my family and friends, and I plan on working with him again in the future!
-William S. – Salem, MA
If you are looking for a realtor in Salem, look no further! Dan helped me sell an ailing family member’s house, and I could not recommend him more highly. The situation was a sensitive one, and he was beyond supportive, patient, kind, responsive and thoughtful. In addition, he knows the market inside and out, and he’s honest about home values. He won’t tell you what you want to hear, he’ll do a thorough comp assessment and tell you the real value of the home you are looking to sell.
An all around great guy and great realtor!

I had the good fortune and pleasure of meeting Daniel Meegan at what was one of the most difficult times in my life. I had emotionally supported my sister and her two sons through the death of her fifty-six-year-old husband to cancer. One year later, I suddenly lost my then fifty-five-year-old sister to a heart attack, leaving her two sons with the loss of two parents in the span of a year. I became and remained responsible for her estate as the trustee for the next five years. At that same time, merely six months after the passing of my sister, I lost my aunt. She was a second mother to me and, at this point, I was emotionally depleted. However, as Executor of her estate, I had to deal with the realities of the situation at hand, which included selling her beautiful home in Manchester-by-the-Sea. A dear friend reached out to me and suggested that I call Daniel Meegan, as he had done a wonderful job in working with her in the selling of her home. It was the best call I could have made.
Daniel was amazing in guiding me through the process of what needed to be accomplished. He was knowledgeable and efficient while being empathetic, kind and present. He helped me to navigate through this process with a much greater ease than I could have hoped for. Dan has the rare and wonderful mix of expertise along with compassion and true caring for his clients as well as great loyalty. When the process was done, he was still there to take my calls to help with any remaining questions. I find these attributes to be indeed rare and I will be forever grateful to him.

After my father passed away, I was overwhelmed by the looming task of clearing out and selling his condominium. Daniel Meegan, with a list of trusted resources to help at each step and his never-ending patience and assistance, made the process of selling go incredibly smoothly, even though I live out of state. The condo sold within a month of listing thanks to all Daniel’s effort and attention.
