I know that you are in the process of making one of the most important decisions - who to work with in selling, buying or investing in real estate. For many, it is one of their single largest assets so I take my job very seriously. For almost 20 years I have been a top producing agent delivering results. For the last 9 years I have been one of the principals of The Beacon Group which is an innovative, client focused real estate practice working in Boston and the suburbs. Our mission is to help people, like you, achieve their real estate dreams and goals. Big and small, we have sold it all, from "kiddie condos" to $6.5M properties. What makes us different from others is that we utilize honest, straight forward analytics to give our clients insight on value based on hard data, not supposition. This lets our clients make a fully informed decision that is right for them, advising them as if we were advising ourselves or a close family member. We also have a very experienced team that we work with which includes a real estate attorney, home inspector, estate planner and various trades people. For sellers, it's not just about the local/micro-market. It's understanding that most buyers are exploring multiple markets. It's so important that the agent they hire understands the nuances of a home sale, can design a custom marketing strategy thinking outside the box to maximize your net proceeds. Our team helps you properly assess your home's value, prepare and stage it for sale and negotiate the best price possible. If potential work is needed at the property, our advice is focused on things that will give a return on investment or eliminate potential inspection issues that could negatively impact you in the end. As a buyer, most people get caught up in price of a property. In reality, what you should be focused on is the monthly outlay for a given place. Taxes and other expenses can make a lesser priced property much more expensive than that higher priced property. You also need to realize that although you are a buyer today, you are a seller someday. People sell because of life, not the market. Our insight, knowledge and experience working in multiple communities will assist you in making the best decision possible. The data we provide will help you in knowing what to pay, and more importantly what not to pay, for a particular property. Yes, we will say "please don't buy this property" because this is the advice we would want to hear if we were in your shoes. Downsizing is what we call Rightsizing which we worked with numerous people and families with. We understand that this is a challenging and emotional process that can't be rushed. There are multiple things to consider and many times certain trusted family advisors that should be brought into the planning. There are also multiple moving parts which could include the sale of your current place to let you be able to move to your next one. We assist in the planning and execution from beginning to end. Ultimately, anyone can talk about themselves. If you are looking to sell, buy or invest I encourage you to reach out for references which are gladly furnished upon request. Who better to tell you about the level of knowledge, expertise and results we deliver than someone who has been in your shoes. I look forward to working with you!

I especially enjoy working with first time home buyers that need that extra attention and guidance through the home buying/selling process. Whether you are a first time home buyer/seller or an experienced buyer/seller, I can offer you help researching comps, knowing the subtle nuances about the buildings and the area, finding out about school systems, helping to neogtiate a selling or buying price, refer you contractors, mortgage brokers or real estate attorneys as well as helping you negotiate after the home inspection. These are just some of the tasks I will help you with. Also, our working relationship doesn't stop there. I will always be available for any questions or phone calls even after you have completed your home purchase or sale. I serve the entire Boston Massachusetts real estate market including the surrounding communities such as Brookline, Newton, Back Bay, South End, Beacon Hill, Brighton and surrounding Greater Boston areas.

He currently serves as Vice-President of Keller Williams Realty in Cambridge.

I have sold over 300 million in real estate since 2011 and was awarded one of Massachusetts' Most Influential Agents of 2016. My specialty is in negotiation and finding properties for sale that are NOT on the open market. I became a certified Investment Specialist in 2011 and my comprehensive knowledge in market analysis, renovation estimates, and future forecasting separates me from the rest and earned me a spot in Real Estate Magazine's Who's Who in December of 2016 & 2019. With today's substantial marketing of homes and vast inventory, we will find places that interest you. In November of 2013 I became the proud owner of Red Tree Real Estate located in Coolidge Corner, Brookline. Since opening, we have proudly built a team of over 60 agents and one of the strongest and extensive databases in Massachusetts. The core of our business is to provide excellent service with transparent communication. Our fantastic team allows me to particularly focus on taking the personal approach and giving the honest opinion that my clients have valued since my first day in real estate. We cover everything under the sun including the leasing & sales of Commercial and Residential property along with property management, investment counseling, and connecting our clients to the best tradespeople in their respective businesses. I grew up locally in Needham, Massachusetts and attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where I co-captained the Rugby Team and was a member of SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). I have a vast knowledge of the life styles this city has to offer from food, entertainment, culture and events and would love being your tour guide. I have personally lived in the neighborhoods of Allston, Brighton, Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Newton, Cambridge, and currently in the seaside town of Winthrop, with its quiet charm and spectacular views of the ocean and the city of Boston.
