Start with the numbers. Then look at the plan.

Tim Desmarais ranks first among the five individual agents compared, with a 5.0-star rating across 180 Zillow reviews and 33 sales in the past 12 months.

I'm Tim Desmarais with Keller Williams Success Realty. I've been selling homes since 2009, focusing on Lowell, Dracut and southern New Hampshire. I have a 5.0-star rating across 180 Zillow reviews and 81 Google reviews, was named a FastExpert 2026 Top Agent in Lowell and Dracut, and have received the NEAR Platinum Award 10 years in a row.

I put this comparison together so sellers can compare agents using numbers anyone can check. Ranking first doesn't make me the right fit for every seller. Your property, your goals and the way you want to work with an agent matter, too.

How I Compared the Best Realtors in Lowell, MA

I compared Zillow review counts, sales in the past 12 months and sales in Lowell, ranking each measure and adding the results. A lower combined score means a stronger result across those measures.

This compares the agents and teams on the first page of Zillow's Lowell directory. It isn't a ranking of every agent in Lowell. Team totals can include multiple agents, so they aren't directly equivalent to individual-agent totals.

When choosing the best realtor in Lowell, MA, ask how the agent would price your home, market it and keep you informed. A table can narrow your choices, but it can't tell you how someone will work with you.

If you're considering a team, ask who will handle your listing, showings and negotiations, and who you'll contact when you have questions.

What Lowell Sellers Should Prepare Before Listing

A smooth sale starts with getting the details in order. Here are several Lowell and Massachusetts requirements worth checking early:

• Multifamily homes with tenants: Plan for tenant notice before showings. Security deposits and last month's rent need to be handled at closing; review the state's security deposit and last month's rent guidance.
• Condominiums: Check how to obtain the 6(d) certificate, which shows condominium dues are paid. See Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 183A, Section 6.
• Homes built before 1978: Lead-paint requirements may apply. Review the state's property transfer lead-paint notification guidance.
• Smoke and carbon monoxide inspection: Lowell asks for at least two weeks' notice. Check the Lowell Fire Prevention Bureau's inspection information.
• Deed excise tax: The rate is $2.28 per $500 of the sale price, equivalent to $4.56 per $1,000. See Massachusetts tax rates.

Other selling expenses can include the agreed agent commission, legal fees, mortgage-related costs and preparation expenses. For more detail, including a Lowell example, read my Massachusetts guide to the cost of selling a house.
