Providing Exceptional Service to Buyers and Sellers for Over 22 Years 


We believe in: 


Responsive Communication 

We are always here for you. You can trust that your phone calls, emails, and text messages will be answered in a timely and comprehensive fashion. You will always feel like you are our only client. 

A Customized Real Estate Experience 

We know that every real estate experience is nuanced and unique. We will listen carefully, make sure we understand the ins and outs of your real estate needs, and act accordingly. 

Local Expertise 

We know 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. 

Team Approach 

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 workplace environment. 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.
