Buyer Testimonials

"I had an excellent experience working with Sean and Aleks. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. They guided me through every step of the process, making everything smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and dedication to helping me find the right property really stood out. I truly appreciated their honesty, patience, and expertise. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—you’ll be in great hands!"

"When it came to buying a home, Sean was open to showing me homes I was interested in and proposed others for me to see as well. He also made me aware of potential pros and cons of each home as we saw each one, so that I could make an informed decision. And he negotiated a good deal for me in the purchase of my new home. Sean is very honest and will help get you in home that you love."

"I worked with Sean and Aleks on my first home purchase. They were very professional, and communication was exceptional; always available for whatever questions I had. Their experience in real estate made the process very smooth, and educational as well for someone like me who was new to real estate. I highly recommend Sean and Aleks for your real estate needs."

"Sean is detailed oriented. This means that he notices what grade/quality the kitchen cabinets may be or if the tile work in a new renovated bathroom was done right. Sean has a background in general contracting and remodeling. Don’t be surprised if he’s conducting a quick gut level inspection while you are touring a potential home. In one home, for example, he pointed out potential structural problems and spot checked potential electrical issues – it probably saved us from a bad investment. Sean is honest and quickly earned our trust."

"Six years ago Sean helped me find a home in Andover. I liked him immediately. He was honest, kind, and professional. I wasn’t familiar with the area. I remember he shared historical stories of the town, recommended activities, hikes, restaurants etc. Sean stayed connected after closing, from bringing over needed tools to surprising me with occasional homemade Christmas cookies. Sean is a down to earth kind hearted human being."

"Aleks and Sean were amazing to work with. They helped us buy a multi family property in November of 2024, and we are happy buyers. They really care about their customers, they respond to any request very quickly and are always available to book last minute showings and come to open houses. They deal very well with other agents and are respected in the industry. Aleks is the most diligent agent you will find, she was perfect in ensuring the deal got done on time and we had everything lined up to close. Sean is very knowledgeable as it relates to understanding the condition of the house and comes in very handy when you’re buying a fixer upper. I recommend Aleks and Sean to anyone needing to buy a house and wanting to have loyal, reliable agents."

"We had the pleasure of meeting Sean back in 2021 when we started our search for our first home. He stuck with us for three years through the crazy market and attending countless open houses even when we told him about it last minute. He always made time for us. Sean's expertise with his construction background helped us to make educated decisions about each home we looked at. His invaluable insight and patience led us to purchasing our first home in our ideal location. During the closing process, Sean's wife, Aleks, was always quick to respond to all our questions and concerns, which made a significant difference for us as first-time home buyers. If you are looking for an incredible real estate team, look no further, you are in the best hands with the Homeward Bound Group!"

"Moving across multiple states is never easy especially when kids and the family pet is involved. We relied heavily on Sean and Aleks to be our eyes and ears for us while we were in transition. They navigated securing the property, negotiated in our best interest and never batted an eye when I would send multiple questions to them. They legitimately care about their clients and make the entire home buying process feel as though you are working with a friend. Aleks has incredible attention to detail and Sean’s knowledge around home building was evident throughout the process. We would absolutely work with them again and refer our friends and family to them. We thank them for taking us on and constantly going the extra mile."

"We couldn't be happier with the help, advice and support we received from Sean Tynan. His communication and follow-up was outstanding. We were admittedly picky with location and certain needs. His patience and willingness to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for is very much appreciated. His background and knowledge in construction and development helped to show us things we would not have even thought of if looking on our own. There's not enough we can say about the overall experience of purchasing a home with Sean. We highly recommend working with him for your home buying needs."

"Sean was an absolute pleasure to work with. As first-time homebuyers we had many questions and felt intimidated by the process. We were fortunate to have Sean in our corner, who provided timely updates of the process and constant reassurance that everything was going to be just fine. Sean made us feel completely at home and answered all questions no matter when they came in. Sean is extremely dedicated and loves what he does which makes the experience that much more enjoyable. If anyone is in the market to buy or sell, look no further, as Sean is your guy."

"Sean Tynan is the best realtor we could have possibly asked for! We were first time homebuyers who were terrified, confused, and had a lot of questions. He answered every possible question we had and walked with us side by side through the whole process. The time, effort, and kindness he gave us will forever be remembered and appreciated. He has always showed up early for any open houses that we were interested in. I would recommend Sean for any homebuying/homeselling needs."

"When our relocation company assigned Sean to us, we knew right away that we were very lucky! We were looking to move from out of state and Sean patiently took us on numerous virtual home tours. He is the best real estate agent we’ve worked with (and we’ve moved quite a lot over the years). He's enjoyable to work with. He’s funny and makes the entire process (which can be daunting) easy and - dare I say - fun. Lastly, Sean has a positive attitude towards the entire process. We needed that to keep motivated and continue our search through a tough housing market. If you are looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, Sean is your guy!"

"Sean was our realtor when we were relocating across the country to buy and move to the Andover area of Massachusetts. Coming from out of state, our knowledge of the area was extremely limited, yet Sean was patient with us throughout the entire process as we learned about which towns seemed like a good fit for our family and budget. Every interaction was always friendly, professional, and informative. Sean’s extensive background in real estate and construction also was a great resource to have. We had many discussions on whether a house was the right one, and if there was work needed to be done, what would be the most realistic projects, etc."

"Sean was great to work with. I was in Florida so he was at the house for the inspections, then he did the walkthrough and finally he met with the locksmith to rekey everything and he met with the fencing contractor so I would have a fenced-in yard when I arrive. The fencing was critical for me and my pack of 6 dogs. Thanks Sean for everything!"

"I would highly recommend Sean as a realtor to anyone (and I have). He listened to what we wanted and then showed us listings that lined up perfectly. Buying and selling can be a stressful time but Sean is such a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable person that it made the process seem easier. He has been available to us the entire time, even after the purchase. We reached out to him after we moved in to get the names of plumbers, electricians, etc. in case we needed someone. We were new to the area and didn’t have that knowledge base. He graciously supplied us with a list of various folks and their areas of expertise should a need arise. In my mind this is above and beyond service."

"Sean Tynan was extremely helpful and went many extra miles to help us find our home. We weren't from the area, so he had to show us properties in quite a few areas until we found the one we wanted. He also drove to the commutes a couple of times so we would know what to expect. He was also very knowledgeable about construction so we could discuss renovation possibilities."
