A holistic, end to end partnership. Josh and team worked side by side with our family for over 2 years as we secured a property in a volatile, high-demand market. We could not have had a more positive, supportive experience. In a era where clients are nothing more than a transactional number, Josh's approach is the complete opposite. Committed and engaged from the onset, Josh was, and remains for that matter, a mentor in an often overwhelming process. 100% transparent and frank in guidance and his recommendations, many times countering client desires in a good way; opening the aperture on opportunities and fostering a new perspective. As lifelong local residents and community members, the rapport and relationships Josh and team hold are an underrated advantage. From adjacent agents, contractors, and neighbors, the ability to leverage this roldex is a game-changer in navigating the various stages of the purchase process. Don't waste your time on agencies caught up on revenue and branding.
Josh was great to work with from the very fist day that I started looking for a home in Portsmouth, NH. Immediate communication, great insight, helpful suggestions, and the BEST referrals for a remodeling company, handyman, gardener, painter, cleaning crew, plumber! This is a huge help for anyone new to an area, like I am. I highly recommend working with Josh if you're looking for a home!
My daughter and I made a very big move across country from Louisiana to Massachusetts. When we saw a house we liked for sale we contacted the sign in front, Coastal Life Realty and met Josh Frappier and Tessa Fagin. They were not only knowledgeable about the house, but the neighborhood and the town of Newburyport. Their information was invaluable and they showed us the exact properties we were looking for and in the price range we could afford. We very quickly found the right house for us and Would recommend Josh and Tessa to anyone looking to buy a new house
Josh is great! I highly recommend him!! My wife and I were looking for a bigger house to start a family in and Josh worked diligently throughout the process with us. He’s a wealth of knowledge in the real estate world, knew the red flags in houses to look out for, was always available, answered all of our questions in ways that 1. Showed that he has lots of experience in the field and 2. Didn’t make us feel like idiots for asking haha, told us the best ways to get our offers accepted, and is well connected in the real estate world! His entire team is great and easy to work with! Use these guys to buy your next house!
Josh helped us navigate finding a starter home for our daughter. He is very knowledgeable about the current real estate market and was able to find a great home! (And… he’s a really nice guy!) Thanks, Josh!
Josh and his team were super helpful in the process of buying my home. Quick responses to any of my questions and explained everything very well, especially to a first timer like myself.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We can not say enough great things about Coastal Life Realty! From day one of our first time home buying experience, Josh was attentive, professional, and always willing to answer questions about the process. Our home buying experience started out fast but languished at a snail’s pace. Throughout the 5 month closing process, Josh kept us calm, checked in often, and ensured we had backup options if worse case scenario occurred. When our closing unexpectedly occurred days before Christmas, Josh was able to pivot on a dime and finalize all the necessary details 25 hours before closing. In addition, Josh’s phenomenal team was always available to answer questions and assuage concerns. Erica, the Transaction Coordinator, was especially helpful with providing us with the necessary information needed within a moments notice. We look forward to working with Coastal Life Realty in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking real estate in the North Shore.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Josh is a seasoned, knowledgable and forward thinking real estate agent. For our first home purchase he was spectacular in helping us navigate an incredibly hot, seller-friendly market to still land a great deal, under budget in a house we love. Josh provided truly meaningful advice and helped pull together a strategy to ensure we could get the right deal done. 10/10 recommend for future home buyers!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Austin and Josh were a dream team! Navigating this market as a buyer is not the most fun, but Austin kept me sane and with an eye on the prize. The team here is so professional, kind, responsive, and great communicators. We closed on our new house today and CAN’T WAIT to move in! Thank you so much Austin, Josh, and the whole team at Coastal Life for making this process as painless as possible and helping us find our perfect little home near the beach!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Josh and Tessa were an absolute dream team to work with. We had been looking for properties close to the ocean for some time in NH. When we shifted our search to Massachusetts we were introduced to Josh. Within 4 weeks of our first meet, we were under contract with the perfect home for us. Right from the beginning, Josh and Tessa spent time with us listening and asking questions to truly understand our needs. The communication was prompt and succinct always, whether through text, email or phone call. We never felt rushed when viewing properties with Josh and he was so genuine in his approach. We truly couldn't have done this without him and are so grateful to be settling into our dream home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
