For us, the best part of real estate is knowing our clients feel supported from start to finish.

This client trusted us not only with the sale of their condo, but with the details that came before it. From coordinating contractors and preparing the property through Compass Concierge, to navigating tight deadlines, our goal was to make the process as seamless as possible while keeping every decision in our clients’ hands.

We’re especially grateful to hear that they felt they could trust us to do the right thing for them. That trust means everything.

September’s market across Cambridge and Somerville shows just how differently the market can move depending on both location and property type.

For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is simple: the market you’re navigating depends on what you’re buying or selling and where. Looking beyond the overall headlines and understanding your specific segment can make all the difference when deciding how to move forward.
Curious what September’s market means for your home, neighborhood, or next move? Let’s connect.

Cambridge is always evolving, but some projects manage to make room for the future while holding onto the past.

With the help and guidance of the Cambridge Historical Commission (go team—Liz is Vice Chair of the Commission!) Homeowner's Rehab, Inc (HRI), an affordable housing developer with a large portfolio of properties, is transforming 4 Mellen Street in the Baldwin neighborhood. The building will provide 29 permanently affordable homes while preserving the historic Charles Saunders House, a 19th-century mansion that will become four of the apartments. The new six-story building will add 25 more homes, along with shared spaces, bike parking, rooftop solar, and energy-efficient design.

And even more exciting: they are now accepting applications! Click here to apply and learn more: https://linktr.ee/FourMellen

A rare top-floor studio+ in Somerville, just a short walk from Magoun Square and the Green Line. With high ceilings, a deep bay window, an updated kitchen with in-unit washer/dryer, a refreshed bathroom, and an enclosed bonus room that works well as a home office or sleeping nook, this move-in-ready home is a smart way to get into the neighborhood.

Open Houses:
Saturday, September 19, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Sunday, September 20, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

If you’ve been looking for a place in Somerville that’s easy to settle into and close to everything, come see this one for yourself this weekend.
We’d love to show you around!

Okay Medford, these two are ones to watch!

83-85 Kenmere Road is almost ready to hit the market, with two completely renovated units that kept some of the original character we love while getting a very thorough modern-day upgrade.

In Unit 2, you’ve got a top-floor, two-story layout with Boston skyline views, 3 bedrooms + a home office, a private porch, and a seriously spacious primary suite with its own en-suite bath. The open kitchen has warm walnut-tone cabinetry, white Quartz countertops, and a generous island, and there are 3 beautifully finished bathrooms with radiant heat underfoot.

Then there’s Unit 1 — another 3-bedroom, two-story unit with a flexible layout, including a bedroom and full bath on the main level. The primary suite downstairs has its own sitting/dressing area, and the open kitchen, dining, and living space makes the main level feel especially inviting.

And both units get the good stuff: 2 deeded parking spaces, a private pergola, EV charger, all-electric mini-split heating & cooling, updated windows/roof/siding, and plenty of thoughtful details throughout.

Plus, you’re in Glenwood, with I-93, Medford Square, shopping, parks, the Orange Line, and Boston all within easy reach.

So…are you or is someone you know looking for a renovated home in Medford? Are you an agent with a buyer who should know about these before they officially hit the market? Keep 83-85 Kenmere Road on your radar, and reach out for a private showing.

A rare find in Somerville, this efficient top-floor studio+ is just blocks from the energy of Magoun Square and the Green Line. Thoughtfully refreshed and move-in ready, the home features high ceilings, a deep bay window, an enclosed room ideal for a home office or cozy sleeping nook, an updated kitchen with in-unit washer/dryer, modern bathroom, new flooring, and replacement windows throughout. A smart, low-maintenance option for a first-time buyer, investor, or urban pied-à-terre, with a solid rental history most recently at $2,350/month. Just .25 mile to Magoun Square, .3 mile to the Green Line and Somerville Community Path, .5 mile to Ball Square, and just over one mile to Davis Square and Tufts.

Suburbs have their benefits. But sometimes, you want to trade the oversized kitchen for a walk to dinner, the car for the Red Line, and the lawnmower for the local beach.

This move was all about finding a home that fit the lifestyle they wanted, not just a house that checked the boxes, and that's what we love about real estate: helping our clients find a place that makes sense for how they actually want to live.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s find a home that fits your life.

Some homes make you stop scrolling. This was one of them.

We recently came across Cabin ANNA by , and we couldn’t help but share it. This incredible modular cabin is designed to transform with its surroundings, with sliding wooden and glass shells that can open the space up to nature or provide a cozy retreat from the elements.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted, this is the kind of architecture that reminds us that a home can be so much more than just four walls.

What do you think? Could you see yourself escaping to a cabin like this?
