Insight. Advocacy. Strategy. Expertise.
ACCESSIBLE | RESPONSIVE | STRAIGHTFORWARD
Buying a home is about much more than finding a property you like. It’s understanding what you’re buying, where you’re buying it, and whether it makes sense for your life and your investment.
We know the towns of the South Shore, from neighborhoods and commuting considerations to the differences that can exist from one location to the next. And we know houses. Years of experience have taught us to look beyond fresh paint and beautiful staging and notice the things that deserve a closer look.
We’ll point out concerns we see, talk honestly about value, and help you consider the bigger picture before you make an offer or spend money unnecessarily.
We’re accessible and responsive when timing matters, and we’ll point out concerns we see, talk honestly about value, and help you consider the bigger picture before you make an offer or spend money unnecessarily.
Sometimes the best advice we can give a buyer is not to buy the house.
Our job isn’t simply to sell you a property. It’s to help you make a smart, informed decision about the place you’ll call home.
We Know the Locations. We Know Houses.
Finding homes online is easy. Knowing what you’re really looking at takes experience. We bring decades of local and real estate knowledge to every showing, helping you look beyond the listing at location, value, condition and potential concerns. And when we see something that gives us pause, we’ll tell you. Sometimes the most valuable service we provide is knowing when a house deserves a closer look — and when it may be better to pass and keep looking.

REALTOR®
I founded Boston South Properties on a simple idea: real estate is local, personal, and experience matters.
I began my real estate career in 1985 and spent five years with a prominent Braintree agency before founding Boston South Properties in 1990. I've been in this business long enough to remember when MLS listings arrived every Thursday in black-and-white printed books. I've also been here through every technological change, market cycle and major shifts in the way homes are bought and sold .
What does that mean for you?
It means you're working with someone who knows the market beyond today's numbers. I know the communities, understand how buyers think, know what makes a property sell, and have the experience to anticipate and head off problems and navigate the unexpected.
Whether you're preparing a home for sale, deciding what improvements are worth making, evaluating an offer, negotiating an inspection or simply trying to determine your next move, you have an experienced broker beside you from beginning to end.
After more than three decades living and working in Hanover, my knowledge of this community comes from more than MLS statistics. I've raised a family here, taught in a local school district for 20 years, owned a business here and watched the town and surrounding communities evolve.
Today, Boston South Properties brings that local knowledge and decades of real-world experience to buyers and sellers throughout the South Shore, from Boston to Cape Cod.
