Buying a Home
How do I get pre-approved for a mortgage?▾
Getting pre-approved involves submitting financial documents to a lender who will review your credit, income, and assets to determine how much you can borrow. We can connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in working with homebuyers in the Greater Boston area.
What should I look for in a neighborhood?▾
Consider factors like school districts, commute times, local amenities, safety, and future development plans. We provide detailed neighborhood profiles and can help you find areas that match your lifestyle and budget.

The home buying process typically takes 30-45 days from offer acceptance to closing, but this can vary based on financing, inspections, and other factors. We'll guide you through each step to ensure a smooth transaction.
Selling Your Home
How do you determine my home's value?▾

What improvements should I make before selling?▾
Focus on cost-effective improvements that provide the best return on investment, such as fresh paint, minor repairs, and enhancing curb appeal. We'll provide specific recommendations based on your home and target market.
