★★★★★
"I can't say enough good things about Brett Holmes. He is responsive day and night - even when out of the country. He knows his market inside and out. His effective negotiating skills helped me secure a buying price below market value, in fact less than what the previous owner had paid for it 10 years earlier. He was able to put me in contact with excellent local legal and lending institutions that knew the market in which I was buying. I was very impressed. You will be too."

★★★★★
"My partner and I had the opportunity to use Brett in our search for a home in Provincetown this past summer/fall. Brett is one of the most responsive realtors I have ever met. He returns phone calls and emails very quickly. No waiting around wondering with him. He followed up on every question we had and got answers promptly. He is technically savvy and very smart and articulate. He was very aware and sensitive to critical dates and deadlines and was willing and able to go head to head with all of the realtors in town with whom he came into contact with. I would definitely use Brett in the future."

★★★★★
"We were so happy with Brett during our transaction. He was very informative and extremely helpful. We never had to wait long to hear back on anything, Brett took care of everything immediately. It was so gratifying to know that we were able to communicate throughout the days and weeks at anytime, whether by phone, email or text and actually receive a reply. His professionalism was beyond impressive and his wonderful personality made the deadline stresses a lot more pleasant!"

★★★★★
"Have you ever been blown away with how excellent a person is at their job? That was our experience with Brett Holmes as our Provincetown, Cape Cod (Seller's) real estate broker. We interviewed 3 brokers and received a market analyses from each. One gentleman had been in the business for almost 40 years. His listing price was too low and he seemed very low key and disinterested. The second was a woman with the "top producer" rating in PTown (we later read many brokers are listed as "Provincetown's Top Producer"...). She wanted to list our condo with the highest price point, but she wasn't very attentive. Then there was Brett. He came in as knowledable, enthusiastic, attentive, friendly and he had a well thought out strategy as to why he would list our place at a price that turned out to be in between the other two. This wasn't a simple sale - it came during a pandemic, with a first-time buyer tenant in place intent on purchasing our condo, a neighbor who is a cray cray bully and buyers using an attorney who had seemingly never done a real estate purchase and sale or closing before - never mind a 1031 exchange. What could go wrong? Brett was patient, respectful, so incredibly professional, detail-oriented, savvy and basically our therapist for 8 weeks. I wish I was kidding, but it's true. His timing and pricing strategies were spot on with offers that were well over the asking price. I don't think we would have received such strong offers had we initially listed at a higher price. He stayed in constant communication and kept us fully informed throughout the entire listing/selling/closing process. His judgement, insight, and calming nature made this ostensibly stressful situation an amazing experience. We are so very happy and grateful that we chose Brett as our broker and can't recommend him enough. "

★★★★★
"Brett guided us with a steady hand through an extremely stressful time. We purchased a new home, before selling our old one, just before the Covid 19 "shelter in place". And yet he was able to help us find a buyer for our old home, and negotiate through all of the uncertainty that came with a pandemic and an economic recession/depression. It seemed a bit of a miracle, and we will be forever grateful."
