Real estate in Boston

Real estate businesses help people buy, sell, rent out and manage homes and commercial property. Many of the ones listed here offer buyer and seller representation, home valuations, apartment rentals, property management and relocation help, so you can match a business to the step you are on. When you choose one, ask whether they represent you as a buyer or seller and how they are paid, and check that the agent is licensed in Massachusetts. If you are selling, ask for a recent comparable-sales analysis before you sign anything. Contact agents early in the season you plan to move, since good ones fill their calendars quickly.
