In what I think has to be a record, there are 7 open houses this evening between 4:00-6:30 in Lincoln. And they’re all between $1,285,000 and $1,795,000! Of course, our wonderful 38 Old Winter Street is one: We’ll be there from 4-6PM today, Thursday July 11. But because there is such a blitz of wonderful homes […]
It has been a wild ride this year for us, with a peak of 5 active listings at once, all in Lincoln. It has been less wild for many area sellers; many houses need price reductions or renovations to sell. After a slow-to-start spring that felt overrun with buyers who then didn’t make offers, we […]
It’s easy to be so busy and focused we miss the spectacular beauty of this rural setting. Jeannine photographed some of our favorite spots across town. We’ll be using one of Sandy Pond for our upcoming mailer (keep an eye on your mail, Lincoln residents!). We wanted to share this glimpses of why we love […]
I was surprised by how much fun it was to test-drive this puppy at Home Depot the other day! And from the few reviews we watched, it seemed like a good grass-cutter. Clearly I couldn’t test that action. Never a dull day when you are out taking care of clients, and you get offered a test […]

In this video, Rick Renna, Sr. Loan Officer with Blue Hills Bank sat down with Jessica in his Concord office to share his thoughts on the current mortgage market. We originally asked him about how buyers can overcome the gap between selling and buying (forthcoming). This was just a great, spontaneous addendum! We’re so grateful […]
After comprehensive community collaboration, we will undertake to (re)build and pay for an innovative and attractive $94.9M preK-8 Lincoln Pubic School, meaning a 17-19% increased property tax bill. Property value impact cannot be forecast; it was a decision the town needed to make without market speculation. The project makes it EVEN MORE important to use […]
Our analysis revealed that gains made over 2017 seemed to firm up in nearly all price brackets this year. What is the historic context for our current strong seller’s market in Lincoln? Here’s our sneak-peek look at the year in review. We’re also interested in what Lincoln looks like when compared to other neighboring towns […]
We gave away 500 pieces of candy, a hundred “bones” pens and a hundred slime-covered “eyeball” bouncy balls from our ‘haunted house for sale” at the Rec Department’s trunk-or-treat. Our past clients got mini pumpkins, too. Jeannine was a spooky ghost hiding in our darkened van. Ours was a popular trunk!
