Big Radius “Contemporary” Search

By

Bill Janovitz

Posted in Buyer Agency, homes for sale, Sales, search On July 19, 2019

We have a custom (somewhat curated) Compass Collection of Contemporaries (alliteration a bonus) here. These are houses that are in a Big radius of Boston and have been labeled by their listing agents as the ever-unhelpful “contemporary” style label in MLS. We erred towards the inclusive. So not all of this is gold. But if…

We sell all kinds of residential real estate: old; new; traditional; condos; multi-families; large Victorians; tiny Capes; Colonials; and yes, Mid-Century Modern.

Are You a Buyer For This Falmouth House?

By

Bill Janovitz

Posted in Buyer Agency, Cape Cod Modern On February 11, 2016

Anybody looking for buyer representation on this Falmouth house? It is not our listing (Robert Paul is the seller’s broker) and we would be thrilled to have a buyer for it. I am often in Falmouth, though my place is decidedly more humble than this dream house. Priced at $5,900,000 (down from the original asking price…

  Very cool to see our buyer clients, Becky and Alex, in yesterday’s Boston Globe Magazine with a feature on the Henry Hoover-designed house we assisted them in buying in Lincoln.

Every once in a while, it is good to remind our readers that we also work as exclusive buyer’s agents. Time is too limited for us to work in a non-exclusive relationship (though we can limit our exclusivity to certain towns, leaving buyers free to work with other agents in other areas). Often, we are…

A modern approach to real estate. Distinctive marketing for distinctive homes.

We are a top-producing real estate team in Lexington and work in all surrounding towns, averaging around $60 million in sales annually. We work as seller and buyer agents, marketing, showing, and selling all styles of houses and condos. The focus on this web site is to tell the story of the area’s mid-century modern/modernist heritage, which we have been doing regularly since around 2005. And we specialize in marketing this architecture, but our marketing and buyer services are top-notch for all homes, with decades of combined experience in Boston-area real estate.
