About Ward

A Newton resident for over 45 years, Ward's knowledge of the Brookline Newton and Greater Boston community serves his clients well. Acknowledged as one of the most productive agents in the market, he enjoys a loyal following of past buyers and sellers. His clients appreciate how he listens carefully and communicates throughout the process of buying or selling a home.

Ward's ability to negotiate and bring both parties to resolution produces results. As someone who has been involved in the construction of dozens of new homes, he possesses an extraordinary understanding of the architectural elements, mechanical systems, permitting requirements and construction techniques that go into the creation of an ideal residence. His sellers find his grasp of both sales and pending data most helpful as they look to set a strategically smart price. His buyers benefit from his in-depth knowledge of the homes currently on the market and his sensitivity in matching their needs within a price range that fits their budget.
