How we help
Advisory, not just agency
01
Selling
Pre-market staging, architectural photography, film and a buyer list built over two decades.
02
Buying
Representation that negotiates hard and tells you plainly when a house isn't right.
03
Off-market
Roughly a third of our sales never appear online. We'll bring you in before they do.
04
Relocation
Schools, neighborhoods, contractors, club memberships — handled by people who live here.
The firm
A boutique firm with a long memory
Founded by Eleanor Halden and James Rowe in 2006, we deliberately stay small: eleven advisors, one office, and never more listings than we can give our full attention.
That focus is why sellers come back to us — and why two-thirds of our business arrives by personal referral.

Business from referrals
They sold our home in nine days for more than we dared ask — and somehow made the whole thing feel calm.
