The Home Shopping Process

As your real estate team, our job is to make the home shopping process efficient and productive for you.

How We Work

We regularly recommend properties for viewing that closely match your criteria and are within your price range. This spares you the frustration of visiting homes that aren’t suitable.

We make sure you don’t miss opportunities. When a desirable property comes on the market, you’re alerted immediately. With over 20 years of experience practicing real estate throughout Massachusetts, we also have access to off-market properties across Boston and surrounding communities, the North Shore, the South Shore, Metro West, and Southeastern Massachusetts, giving you opportunities other buyers may never see.

We help you schedule viewings that fit your schedule, minimizing any inconvenience.

Before you view a property, we provide you with detailed information on the home, so you can make an informed decision. This includes market analysis, comparable sales, property history, and neighborhood insights.

We also give you the context on each area, so you understand what different neighborhoods offer in terms of lifestyle, schools, commute times, and local amenities.

When you find a property you’re interested in, we give you our honest, professional assessment of how well the home meets your needs and what considerations you should weigh before making an offer.

Experience That Protects You

Our extensive experience and keen eye can detect potential problem properties immediately. We see what you might not: foundation concerns, deferred maintenance, outdated systems, or red flags in disclosure documents. This expertise can save you from costly mistakes and help you focus on properties that are truly worth your consideration.

What to Look for When Viewing a Property

Here are key questions to consider when viewing homes:

• Does the home have your essential features? (Number of bedrooms, layout, kitchen size, etc.)
• Does the home have any of your preferred features? (Backyard space, finished basement, garage, etc.)
• What is the general condition of the home? Are there signs the owners have kept up with repairs and maintenance?
• Will the home need any major repairs, remodeling, or renovations? Is there anything, such as the roof, HVAC, or major systems, that may need replacement soon?
• What do you like most about the home?
• Is there anything about the home you don’t like? Can that be addressed with updates now or in the future?
• Take a walk around the neighborhood. Are the homes well-kept?
• Does the location work for your commute, schools, and lifestyle needs?
• Does the neighborhood have what you want in terms of access to transit, shopping, parks, and other amenities?

Knowledge That Guides Your Search

Our two decades of experience means we can identify value that others might miss and steer you away from properties that look good on the surface but have underlying issues. We know what properties are worth in each market we serve and can help you make decisions with confidence.
