Offering amiable, trustworthy communication; local market knowledge; and comprehensive real estate services so every client can find a comfortable space to reside or work. We can live in a world where your real estate transaction turns out just right.

I have traveled in many areas of the world and enjoy experiencing diverse cultures and habitats. Living in the Greater Boston area as an adult for more than 40 years, I am familiar with numerous neighborhoods on both sides of the Charles River, and in suburbs north, south, and west of Metro Boston.

I am especially interested in historical architecture and sustainable development including LEED-certified construction and renewable energy installations.

When I’m not assisting you to sell or purchase your special property you can find me creating scripts or local documentaries, kayaking, hiking, bird-watching, or attending to my own home and garden.

Sellers, ask me about our 3% listing commission.
Our standard listing co-brokerage agency commission is only 2% if a seller also pays a buyer’s agency fee of at least 2%

Buyers, our standard buyer’s agency commission is also 2% - whether paid by seller or buyer.
We can negotiate with listing agencies to help finances and transaction terms work for you.

All commissions are - and always have been - negotiable.

Part of the professional team at Griffin Properties, Inc., Cambridge, I can make your real estate experience as straightforward and agreeable as possible.

Whether you are seriously interested in entering the real estate market, or simply need advice about the process, you can feel confident contacting me with your questions about beginning homeownership or selling your home. I am here to assist you with anything from general market inquiries to referrals for the right financial options. I can help you price property, negotiate deals, qualify buyers, acquire financing, find contractors, and more.

Purchasing a house or condo is one of the most important investments, and the decision to buy or sell a home can be challenging. The current real estate market in Cambridge and the surrounding area is extremely competitive for buyers - and profitable for sellers. That said, the local market is predominantly stable, providing consistent gains for individuals who are looking to invest for income or personal use.

As a listing agent, my goal is to assist you to achieve the easiest, fastest sale at the best price to suit your terms and time frame. As a buyer agent, my priority is to help you find the home that suits your needs, advise you about what you can do to stand out and gain a seller’s acceptance of your offer, and negotiate in your best interest for that special property.

With connections to Cambridge and Salem, I deal with property in the Greater Boston area, including north and south shore listings, and inner western suburbs.

Allow me to carefully guide you through the transition of buying or selling your special home or investment property.

Testimonials

“Selling our condo in Massachusetts was challenging because we lived 3 time-zones away in California. But as soon as Christine got involved, we were treated to her special combination of extensive experience and hands-on hard work. We were in good hands and never worried from that point on. She expertly handled all the contractors needed to prepare the place for sale, making sure they delivered on quality and timeliness. She planned and executed a marketing plan with open houses and referrals to get us the largest possible set of buyers. When the offers came, she used her many years of experience to guide us in the negotiations. And when it came time to close, she tirelessly managed the various contingencies to ensure a successful conclusion. In short, Christine’s efforts were invaluable to us and we cannot imagine a better result. We highly recommend her.”

“Christine was invaluable in helping us search for, bid on, negotiate for, and ultimately purchase our home. Her professionalism and guidance throughout the whole process was exactly what we needed and she was pleasant, direct, and courteous at all times. Christine was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and she provided us with valuable insights into recent transactions so that we could be successful when we found exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend Christine to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home, and will use her services again if we ever sell the home we purchased.”

— I. McGill

"I was very fortunate to work with Christine as my real estate agent this past year as I was trying to navigate a very competitive market in the Boston area for buyers last summer. I had many suggestions for real estate agents, but I chose to work with Christine because of her in depth knowledge of the local area and her warm and professional personal nature, which is really an asset during a housing search. It turns out that I was very lucky to have her sophisticated advice when making offers in this difficult market because most attractive properties are receiving multiple offers and planning the right approach is crucial. She knew the ways that could make my offer stand out above the pack in a way that I could still manage securely, and her advice on this step in the process is directly responsible for me securing my first home. Even once our offer was accepted she followed through thoroughly during later stages of the process involving inspections, renegotiation of contracts, everything really straight through till we finally signed the papers. If you're looking for help in the real estate market these days, there's nobody better to have on your side."

“My husband and I had looked at houses for over a year but were intimidated by the prospect of taking the plunge. Christine made everything super easy, encouraged us without any pressure, and explained every step of the home buying process along the way. Our new home is absolutely gorgeous, and in a location I thought might have been out of our price range!”
