Under Construction! - Boston Proper Group To Reignite Online RE
The Boston Proper Group, powered by Encore Realty, is reinvesting in our clientele. We realize that in the digital age, virtually every real estate transaction begins online. Years ago, when Allaccessboston.com was founded, the basis for many now common online real estate functions were created. We were the jump off point for many of the ideas that Massachusetts brokers now rely on for their content and search functionality. After years of those same ideas being replicated, however, we've found that they've grown stale for most ...
So Little Options...So Much Time?
Relocating to Boston from another part of the country brings a whole basket of hurdles with it. The biggest issue we find most of our clients having is adjusting to the speed of the Boston rental market. Just like sales in the city, rentals are moving at record speeds (and for record prices).

The South End's Newest Luxury Apartments and Condos Impress
On a recent tour with an out of state client, the South End's new luxury buildings impressed me once again.

Renters Have Become Buyers...And Sellers Have Become Renters?
Naturally, people outgrow their homes or simply find it's time to move on to something new. In this progression, we see sellers who are simultaneously looking to purchase at the same time. It's rare that an individual markets their property with the intention of renting something new, but that's exactly what is happening as a result of sky-rocketing property values.
While it's normal in a hot market like this to find renters leaning towards the possibility of purchasing to avoid high rental prices, it's not exactly everyday that you see property owners doing just the opposite. However, with properties selling at ...
Selling Your Boston Real Estate Investment Property?
Are you looking to cash out on your Boston real estate investment property? There may never have been a better time than now. With rental prices through the roof, the value of your investment property is most likely at an all time high. Combine that with extremely low interest rates and a high demand among buyers and you've got yourself the perfect opportunity to make the highest return on your property sale.
