Selling your Home or Investment Property In Cambridge, Somerville or Beyond?
About Sage
Have you ever felt like you were born to do something? That’s how I feel about what I do. I was actually born in Cambridge, over on 73 Pemberton Street in 1984. I was named after a now defunct grocery store in Harvard Square called Sage’s.
I now own my real estate brokerage where I have helped dozens of people sell and buy their homes in Cambridge, Somerville and the surrounding communities of Greater Boston. I have over 100 5-star reviews and I truly value long-term relationships with all my clients. I can’t wait to work with you!

Why sell your home with Sage?
The process of selling your home with me is unique. At every step of the way, I will provide expert, hyper-local real estate expertise.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
I listen closely and customize my approach to your needs.
The first step is to hop on an initial consultation call, these usually last 15-45 minutes. I believe in being flexible and meeting my clients where they are. Each client and each property has a unique set of needs and I take a one-by-one approach in delivering for my clients. Some clients want or need hand holding throughout the entire process, while other clients want a more hands off approach. I will listen to your needs, your property needs, and what you are hoping to accomplish with the sale of your property and mutually work with together to get you the outcome you need, on your timeline.
Step 2: Property Analysis and Pricing
I use hyper-local investment expertise and a data-driven approach to price your home for maximum value.
Once I have a high-level understanding of your property, timeline, needs and goals, I begin analyzing the price range and sales price for your property. I take an investment centric approach for sales, meaning I look at existing data (active, under agreement and recently sold) as well as historical data and my own on-the-ground experience with your property location and property features. From there I'll give you a sales range that I believe your property will sell at with a high degree of confidence, as well as my initial recommended sales price. I adjust our pricing strategy depending on your unique goals with the sale, your timeline, your property type, and current market conditions. Read more about my investment expertise below.
Step 3: Property Preparation
I offer a concierge, no money down service for low-cost, high return updates.
We transform your property to squeeze out the best returns based on your budget and your timeline, wowing buyers. We focus on low-cost, high-return updates that will result in marketing your unit to higher price point buyers, translating into more money in our seller clients pockets. Our aim is a 3 to 10x return on the work that we put into your property and we have a "no money down" option for sellers who prefer to pay at closing. We also understand that all staging is NOT created equally and stunning staging creates more upstream buyers with bigger budgets...so we naturally focus on best-in-class staging - you can see some property transformations below:
Step 4: Unique Marketing Tools
I go beyond traditional channels - including my one of a kind newsletter with over 1400 subscribers - to ensure your home gets maximum visibility.
We have developed multiple marketing assets that help our seller clients receive the most buyer exposure possible. This includes a robust website with thousands of unique visitors each month, a YouTube channel with thousands of unique videos, a regular Podcast series featuring local influencers, hyper-targeted local mailers to prospective buyers, a monthly newsletter series reaching over 1,400 owners & investors, private buyer events, and a lot more. While many agents will slap a listing on MLS and hope for the best, we believe a pro-active, multi-pronged approach is the best way to generate the most interest and best returns for our seller clients.
Step 5: Close
I leverage my years of negotiation skills, sales experience, and strong agent relationships to secure the best outcome for you.
At the end of the day, selling your house at a great price and the best terms with the least amount of stress is the goal every single time. And for me, I believe the proof is in my work: I was ranked the #1 multi-family solo agent by number of transactions in 2025. I have closed over 700 transactions. I have over 100, all 5-star Google reviews.

Why does Sage’s investment expertise matter in home sales?
Cambridge, Somerville, and the surrounding neighborhoods in Greater Boston are unique markets because they are extremely resilient and highly desirable. Property values are always growing, even in down times. Due to this environment, there is a diverse mix of potential buyers ranging from residential home buyers to investors and developers. In order to sell your property for the highest offer at the best possible terms, you need to know the following:
Your property’s investment potential. (i.e. What could it rent for? How might price appreciate over the next 10 years? Are there certain updates that could dramatically change things?)
Who will be attracted to that potential. (i.e. Is your property more appealing to home buyers, developers or landlords?)
How to position your property to that person. (i.e. Is your property best used as someone’s new home, a buy and hold, a flip or something else?)
I will use my investment expertise to answer all 3 questions, which are ultimately key to the marketing and selling process.
How did I get this expertise?
As of this writing, I’ve helped dozens of clients sell their multi-families, condos, and single families in Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and beyond.
I started my career heavily focused on residential rentals and I have completed over 400 rental transactions, primarily in Cambridge, Somerville and Medford. As time went on, I helped dozens of landlords, developers and residential owners sell their properties.
My extensive experience in selling AND renting out properties is unique. Most agents will focus purely on rentals OR sales, but few have the right mix of knowledge in both areas.
This varied experience has enabled me to pinpoint investment potential and determine who will be interested and why. For example, I can give you very accurate rental projections based on your property’s address, condition, and the current market. I can also tell you what other landlords and investors truly care about - and whether they will be interested in your property or not, based on those projections.
At the end of the day, selling your property is actually about getting into the mind of your buyers. If you can properly position AND properly market, you have a recipe to maximize exposure and sales price. Drop me an email or text if you’d like to better understand any of the above.
