Step Inside 161 Cushing: Contemporary Luxury in Cambridge

Real Estate is in my blood and a family passion! I guess you could say that I really haven’t done anything else…ever! Back when I was a senior in high school I got my real estate license and sold my first home in Somerville for $27,000. This was back in 1981 when interest rates were fluctuating between 15-18%. I have since personally sold over 1,400 homes with over 36 years in real estate sales since then with my highest sale being over 10 million... My expertise and experience are extensive to say the least. I handle all types of property sales including singles, condos, multi family’s and condo conversion consulting… I’ve been through all types of markets including the latest real estate boom and survived the depths of a recession.
I am a proud part of a 70 year old family business and extremely proud of our thriving independence. More important than the amount of sales I make, my success depends on providing you with excellence, establishing lasting relationships built on trust and being… Your Personal Realty Consultant for Life!
