About Gene
The #1 Choice in Newton, Brookline, Greater Boston Communities & Surrounding Suburbs -- As a lifelong resident of the Greater Boston Area having grown up in Brookline, Newton, Brighton and Allston, no one knows the local communities or schools better than me working inside of Rt. 495. I have been a professionally licensed Massachusetts real estate agent for over twenty years since 1995 and also hold a broker's license. With an extensive background in real estate closings having previously managed a high volume real estate law office for five years, I have worked directly with all of the integral parties involved to negotiate every aspect of the closing process. My unique legal experience can provide you with an unmatched inside insight into the entire closing process beyond just guidance with the buying and selling process. In addition, I also personally invest in local real estate, renovate and develop my own properties. All of this combined expertise, together with my proven track record for top production in real estate sales representing both buyers & sellers, can allow me to empower you with all of the necessary tools and confidence needed to effectively achieve all of your real estate goals from start to close. My greatest satisfaction comes from educating my clients in a non-pressure environment in order to make great real estate and life decisions. Anyone can schedule showings or open up a door, but what separates me from other agents is taking the time to find you the perfect property while negotiating it successfully for the best possible price and terms upon your timetable.
Last year alone, Gene participated in 37 real estate transactions, with over $20 million in sales. His seller's homes averaged just 5 days on the market, with most selling for significantly over asking price, between 5-10% above list price. Overall, Gene has closed over 200 Property Sides with $150+ Million in Real Estate Volume Sold Since 2005. A few of Gene’s most recent awards include: #1 Sales Associate in Closed Units in Newton over the last two years; #8 Sales Associate in Massachusetts Out of 40+ offices over the last 2 years; and Chairman's Elite, Top 5% Companywide Out of 4000+ Agents in 9 States the last 5 years running.

Gene's Reviews

Gene has now represented me twice, and I'm about to make it a third time — the most direct endorsement I can give. He helped me buy my home in Wayland several years ago, just guided me through the purchase of our new home at 191 Waban Ave in Newton, and I've now asked him to list and sell the Wayland house. You don't hand the same person your buy side and your sell side across multiple moves unless they've earned it. What sets Gene apart is his command of the details that actually determine whether a deal closes cleanly — contracts, timelines, and closing mechanics at a level well beyond opening doors — and the way he anticipates problems before they become problems. He's responsive, straightforward, and low-pressure: he tells you what he actually thinks, negotiates hard on your behalf, and keeps things moving without ever making you feel rushed. Coming back to him a third time was an easy call, and I recommend him without reservation to anyone buying or selling in Greater Boston, particularly at the higher end where strategy and execution matter most.

Gene likes his job so much. We have known each other for more than 20 years. He always puts more time and effort into trying to help his client. He deliveries to you what you exactly want and lead you step by step to accomplish it in time. He is a professional, expert, reliable, friendly person.

Our experience with Gene couldn’t have gone more smoothly. From start to finish, Gene was proactive and responsive about every step of the process. He anticipated each step, communicated clearly, and handled key moments with professionalism and confidence. We appreciated his ability to keep everything moving forward smoothly. His attention to detail and hands-on approach made a complex process feel straightforward and well-managed. We felt supported the entire time and always knew we were in capable hands. I would absolutely recommend Gene to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and effective agent. A+

Gene was extremely efficient at helping us manage the buying and selling process on a tight timeline, a tight budget, and with a 2 year old to consider. We would recommend him to ANYONE who really needs to get a deal DONE. Within 2 months of meeting Gene, we had sold our house that had sat on the market last year for 3 months with no offers AND closed on & moved into our new home.
