Whether you’re:
- Buying your first condo or house (even in this market)
- House-hacking a 2–4 family so your tenants pay the mortgage
- Selling your city condo and sizing up to a single-family with a yard in the suburbs (“Boston ? ’burbs”)
- Making any strategic move: sell + buy at the same time without going homeless
- Adding cash-flowing investment properties or executing a 1031 exchange
- Falling in love with a 200-year-old house that needs someone who actually understands old bones
…I’ve done it myself (again and again), and I’ve guided hundreds of clients through it.
In 2025, I helped a young family sell their $670k Roslindale condo and buy a 3-bed Colonial in Medfield for $900k, closing both sides in 45 days with a free leaseback on the sale and full inspection on the buy. I’ve done the same for JP, Roslindale, and Somerville, seamlessly moving clients to single-family homes in Medfield, Medford, Dedham, and beyond — all while maximizing equity and minimizing stress.
I work side by side with my husband, fellow Realtor and woodworker Jack Romano (@jackujc); for us, real estate is a family affair. As investors and landlords we own and manage multi-families in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale, are renovating a Colonial in Medfield, and are rebuilding a previously-abandoned mid-century cabin in Danbury, New Hampshire. I grew up on job sites roofing and framing alongside my dad, so I can spot good bones (and bad renovations) from the sidewalk. That hands-on experience means I translate inspections, renovation costs, and cash-flow math into plain English so you avoid surprises after closing.
Communities I know inside-out:
Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Dedham, Westwood, Norwood, Canton, Needham, Wellesley, Natick, Dover, Sherborn, Medfield, Millis, Walpole, Norfolk, Franklin, and the city of Boston proper. Greater Boston, MetroWest, and occasionally New Hampshire, too.
What clients say:
“From our initial meeting to the final closing, Kate demonstrated a level of professionalism and commitment that exceeded our expectations. Her in-depth knowledge of the Boston real estate market, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant impact on our home buying journey.” - Lucia, buyer in Jamaica Plain
