What Sets Us Apart


Meeting You Where You Are

No two homes are alike, and neither are people! We understand and appreciate that each person brings their own unique strengths, limitations, and narratives to the process of buying, selling, and investing in real estate. We strive to meet you where you are and provide tailored education and support that helps you feel seen, empowered, and in the driver’s seat at every step of the way.


Service That Inspires

In our experience, the best service provides you the knowledge, comfort, and confidence to dream about what can be possible. From connecting first generation buyers to life changing resources such as downpayment assistance and subsidized interest rates, to supporting families selling homes with storied histories that have been passed down through generations, to guiding friends to pool resources and put down roots in the communities they love. We are creative and eager to help you achieve your loftiest goals.


A Love of All Things Local 

We are intimately familiar with the markets we live and sell in. We are actively involved in our communities and volunteer in them. We are positive stewards of our neighborhoods. This means that we know our neighborhoods not just generally, but block by block. We can tell you about playgrounds, parking, dog parks, restaurants, shops, festivals, noise, plans for development, and anything else that might impact where you want to live.


We Are Better Together

Our team of neighborhood experts know their craft. Our collaborative style ensures that someone is always available to provide you with personalized and knowledgeable service. We believe in a diverse, inclusive, positive, respectful, honest and warm approach. We give our best to one another and support one another so that we can also give our best to our clients, ourselves and our families.


We Love What We Do 

Real estate is more than just an investment. We are committed to helping people achieve their dreams and goals. We are passionate about creating the very best outcomes for our clients and maintain a very strong referral business. We are grateful for the many satisfied clients who have become our neighbors and friends.

Our team has been recognized as a top performing real estate sales team in the Boston area by Tom Ferry, RealTrends and the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP). Read what our clients have to say.
