Somerville is a densely built city just north of Cambridge and Boston, organized around lively squares. Davis Square, Union Square, Ball Square and Magoun Square each have restaurants and shops, while Assembly Square has grown into a newer mixed-use district along the Mystic River. Hills such as Prospect, Spring and Winter give the city its distinctive topography.
Housing in Somerville includes two-families and triple-deckers, Victorian single-families, condominiums in converted houses and newer apartment and condominium buildings near transit. Dolan O’Rourke can help buyers compare Somerville’s squares and neighborhoods and help sellers present homes in a market close to Boston and Cambridge. We can also help you understand how condominium associations and two-family ownership work.

Client reviews
What our clients say
I had the absolute pleasure of working with John Dolan and Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services while selling my mother’s home. We were going through an extremely difficult transition. We were both unfamiliar with the process of selling a home. From day one, John made himself readily available and kindly explained every part of the process to my mother, always making sure she understood each detail. His knowledge and expertise goes far and above what we expected. His constant communication never left us guessing – we felt very involved in every part of the process. I was caring for my mother on my own and he did everything in his power to ease the burden of selling her property. John knew I had great anxiety over our difficult situation and would always tell me not to worry. He always found a resolution to every bump in the road- and now I am finally worry free! John made us feel cared for and safe. We cannot thank him enough for his hard work. He helped us find a deal that we never could’ve imagined and changed our life for the better!
John was amazing with helping us in our home buying journey! His knowledge and patience made things very easy for us as first time home buyers. I highly recommend John to anyone who wants professionalism and someone who’s gonna get the job done! Thanks John!
We worked with John of Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services to purchase our first home in the Greater Boston area. As first time home buyers, John invested a lot of time early on to educate us about what to expect and strategies to consider. Throughout the process John had great communication, listening and advice as we navigated a challenging market. John was approachable, knowledgeable and always fun to be around as we looked at numerous houses, and helped us shape our conversations to really dial in to what we were looking for. We would love to recommend John for future real estate services and are so appreciative of his hard work.
