Eastern Massachusetts
Beverly is home. The whole North Shore is the territory.
From Salem and Peabody up through Ipswich and Gloucester, and down into Boston, Chelsea and Lynn — Sonia Castro works the coastal towns and the city neighborhoods around them.
Hyperlocal
Coastal towns, commuter towns, city neighborhoods.
The North Shore is where we are strongest: Beverly, Salem, Gloucester, Ipswich, Essex, Peabody and Georgetown. The housing stock runs old — colonials, capes and Victorians that reward an honest walkthrough before the listing goes live — and the good ones move fast in spring.
Water and rail decide most of it. A house near the harbor or a short walk from the commuter rail prices differently from one five minutes inland, and the gap is often bigger than the square footage suggests.
South toward Boston the picture shifts again. Chelsea and Lynn are first-time-buyer and investor territory with tighter inventories, while Boston itself is its own market with its own timing and its own rules.
We are careful about the things that bite coastal buyers: flood zones and insurance, septic and sewer, older roofs and knob-and-tube wiring. Better to find those in a walkthrough than after closing.
