My sister and I interviewed multiple realtors before deciding to go with John; we are sure we made the right decision! We were selling our childhood home from out of state and there was a lot to do. John accommodated our schedules, had a great pricing plan and helped us with contacts to check off all those tasks. We are very happy after closing this week (in less than 2 months!) and enjoyed working with John very much.

We recently worked with John on purchasing a home on Cape Cod. John is professional and courteous and demonstrates great attention to detail. He was very punctual especially when it came to attending open houses and responding to any of our questions. John provides straightforward advice based on his years of knowledge of the Cape real estate market. His guidance made the process very efficient and we would highly recommend John to other potential buyers.

This review is a long time coming. I'm a very busy father, homeowner, husband and performing artist out here in Los Angeles. My family home on Cape Cod had been occupied by renters for some odd ten years (also by Bowen RE but that's a whole other rave review), and the time had come to let the house go on the market. Mind you, I am three-thousand miles, and three time zones away. No matter where you lived, everyone was engulfed in a world-wide pandemic. People were not touching each other or their groceries, no one was leaving their houses, nor was anyone really digging deep to make large financial or life decisions, which buying a house really is. Once John assured me, and then reassured me over and over again with his deft knowledge of the market in Massachusetts, his evidence and years of experience, we were able to put together a team that put the house up for sale. It was sold in little over a month with very little stress and even less heartache. John Bowen RE is the absolute best in the area, and there is no one else I would trust with my real estate needs, questions, or advice. You will get straight talk and you will get quality service. He was always following up with me, making sure paperwork was right, and that all the legalities were above board with dotted "eyes" and crossed "tees". Like a master athlete or award winning artist, his navigation and absolute comprehension of his goals always match his clients to bring about a win win situation. I hope Bowen RE is around for a long long time so I can once again live on Cape Cod once my life out here in Hollywood is finished.

Buying a house sight unseen during a pandemic is a terrifying prospect, so when my wife and I received four year orders to the Cape, a quick google search for “Best realtor on Cape Cod” lead me to Johns office! I called John and within a day he had several listings to look at. I think over one weekend he went to four separate open houses and viewed several other homes for me all using google duos facetime style app. I was using a VA loan which was not competitive with so many cash offers coming in but Johns extremely persistent and got me into a nice house that was twice as big as I was looking for right in our budget. It hit the market one day and the next it was ours! I cannot tell you how pleased I am we went with John. He always picked up the phone to answer all of the first-time homebuyer questions and was a fantastic guide to have throughout the home buying process. I honestly don’t know if we would have ended up being able to find a house without his expertise. We hit just about every roadblock you can hit during the process due to various contract issues on houses that we looked at and he was able to handle them all easily and wasn’t afraid to tell me if he just thought a house wouldn’t work. He was definitely our eyes and ears on the ground the whole time; trusting someone you’ve never actually met with such a large purchase is a daunting prospect, but you won’t go wrong. I’d recommend to stop looking elsewhere and just give him a call

John was very attentive to our needs in looking for our perfect home. He walked us through the whole process step by step and stuck with us through the many, many, open houses-until we found what we wanted. He was very punctual as well and quick to respond when it came to questions or documents. Highly recommended.

Why go with anyone else? John Bowen, owner of Bowen Real Estate, is such a good guy who truly likes helping people out. I needed a Fair Market Value appraisal of my mother’s house to give to a lawyer and, after explaining what I needed and why, John offered to stop by the house and do it without charging me. He didn’t know me. I just picked his company “out of the phone book,” so to speak. If he would do that for a stranger, imagine the lengths he would go to to sell your home or help you find your dream home.

When looking to sell my Mom's house in Bourne we interviewed a number of agents. After meeting John Bowen we knew he was the right person for the job. He understood that I did not live close by and he had all the right connections to get the job done. His selling price analysis was a precise exercise in which his knowledge of the neighborhood provided insight into the local market. This resulted in a final sale very close to our asking price and well above our original expectations. In addition, he knew how to market the house. The pictures on our listing were excellent. We got an offer in about a week. We accepted and John was there to advise us every step of the way all the way up to closing. We put our trust in John and it paid off.

We contracted with John after a miserable experience renting on our own. John found an excellent Tennant for us at a good price. We are new to this, and John always answers and provides good recommendations. We have called several times. Highly recommended.

I have been working with John Bowen for about a decade with rental properties. He always got me stellar tenants and recently sold a home I had in Falmouth. John was amazing! He had the home sold in less than 48 hours after he listed it. He also made the process so simple for me. John is extremely punctual and professional in every way. I highly recommend John Bowen Real Estate of Cape Cod

John was very helpful getting me into the home I wanted. He worked tireless before, during and after the process to ensure that I was happy with my purchase. John is very professional, courteous, friendly and provides excellent advice in purchasing a home for the first time.

Working with John Bowen has been an extraordinary experience. He understood our needs and he more than fulfilled every promise. He said he would find us the perfect tenant. We believed he would find us a good tenant. We just didn't think he would find us the perfect tenant, but he did! John kept us on track and made sure we understood aspects of our proposed rental that we hadn’t considered. What’s more, he extended the same care to our prospective tenants, so that in the end, all parties are happy with the deal we struck. Throughout the process, John has been a complete professional, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Bowen Realty for home rentals or sales.

Over the years, John has helped me sell several properties and locate tenants for my rental units. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He does a great job vetting potential tenants and buyers. He is very responsive to calls and questions. He most recently got me through a difficult closing. He recommended good contractors to help me prepare the property to sell. I would recommend John to everyone

John was easy to work with and very knowledgeable of the greater Falmouth area. With a competitive vacation home market during the pandemic John was able to provide guidance on neighborhoods and the offers needed in this process. His experience in the Cape Cod market was invaluable in helping us get our vacation home.

John showed us a rental property in East Falmouth and facilitated the process to go through with renting it. He was always willing to help with any questions or concerns and he made the rental process quick and easy! I would recommend working with John if you’re looking for a long term rental.

I had the pleasure of working with John on a real estate deal over the last few months. It was a difficult purchase that had a few hurdles but John was on top of it and keep me informed during the whole process. In the end I was very happy with the outcome. He did a wonderful job on getting the deal done.

John was an excellent real estate agent for us. We made the deal within a week because I was moving last minute for a job and he was very responsive and attentive to our requirements and concerns as well as those of the landlord. Would definitely use him and recommend for future rentals!

We have worked with John for about 5 years now. Initially, he helped us find the BEST long-term renters for our house in East Falmouth. Then, just last month, he helped us sell the same house. Throughout both experiences, John proved to be an amazing real estate professional. He works tirelessly (I mean that - day and night). His communication is A+, but don’t take that to mean he’s going to sugar-coat anything for you. He tells it like it is, which is SO important when making big decisions - like what to do with your most valuable investment! He is very straightforward and honest, which I really appreciate - I don’t want someone who is afraid to tell me something difficult or sensitive. I don’t want to have to read between the lines when making important decisions.He knows the Cape Cod real estate market like none other, and he very astutely observes when his clients are unsure about something and quickly provides valuable guidance based on his years of experience. He also knows EVERYONE. If you need any work done on your home to get it ready for renting/selling, guaranteed, he knows someone to do it. His knowledge of what’s happening in the market at any given time is priceless - he has his finger on the pulse of both the rental and sales markets. He will guide you through all of the important decisions as they arise. I would 100% without reservation recommend John to anyone looking to sell or rent their home on Cape Cod. We are truly grateful to him for making all of these tough and complex processes so effortless and successful for us.

John is the realtor you need to sell your property. He is professional, effective and his attention to detail is impeccable. John brought me two offers within hours of each other, one being over asking price. Thanks John for your expertise!
