Buying a Home
Your Guide to Buying a Home
Your local guide to finding the perfect home. Janet Gillis and the Town & Country team have helped 100's of buyers land on the South Shore.
Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make — and it deserves expert guidance from someone who truly knows the market. At Town & Country Realty Massachusetts, our agents are dedicated to protecting your interests at every step.
Step 1: Get Pre-Approved Before you fall in love with a home, know your budget. A pre-approval letter tells sellers you're serious and gives us a competitive edge when making offers.
Step 2: Define Your Goals What matters most? School districts, commute times, lot size? The South Shore offers an incredible range — from historic Marshfield neighborhoods to waterfront properties in Scituate and Duxbury.
Step 3: Search Smart We set up customized MLS alerts so you see new listings the moment they hit the market — often before they appear on Zillow or Realtor.com.
Step 4: Make a Smart Offer Once we find your home, we'll run a detailed comparative market analysis to help you offer the right price and negotiate firmly on your behalf.
Step 5: Navigate Inspections & Closing From home inspection to final walkthrough, we're with you every step with a trusted network of inspectors, attorneys, and lenders serving the South Shore.
Why Choose an ABR® Buyer's Agent? The Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation means your agent has completed specialized training in buyer representation — trained exclusively to look out for your interests, not the seller's.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As my friends POA, I needed to help him sell his Marshfield home after his wife’s sudden passing. We interviewed 5 agents and chose Janet Gillis of Town and Country realty. She helped us with every aspect of the process. If we needed something done she found good people to do it. She went over all of the offers, and showed us why one buyer’s offer was more solid than another. I have already told her that when I am ready to sell my home, she has the sale.”

Janet was fantastic, It wasn’t the easiest of sales and she made everything go as smoothly as possible.”
