Real Estate Advisory Group
We specialize in unbundling the real estate transaction. After 34 years as a licensed Brokerage in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, We have shifted to a fee-for-service advisory model to eliminate commission conflict. We work with sophisticated sellers and buyers who demand transparent pricing and expert compliance management (e.g., new MA Home Inspection laws, RI Written Buyer Agreements). I am not commission-driven; I am a dedicated fiduciary advisor."

** 34-Year Dual-State Brokerage Expertise (RI & MA)
** Stop paying the old 6%. We offer transparent, fee-for-service representation for buyers and sellers.

The Choice
is Yours
Unlike the old system where you paid a high, bundled fee for services you didn't always need, my brokerage allows you to select the level of involvement and marketing you want, giving you more control over your equity.
Certified Professionals
Unlike the old system where a real estate agent was akin to the chief cook and bottle washer, we offer you choices of experts in every discipline involved in a real estate transaction, including legal contracts, agreements, mortgages and more.
Seller Service Menu
Our 34 years of experience across RI and MA allows me to custom-tailor the selling process. Unlike the old system where you paid a high, bundled fee for services you didn't always need, my brokerage allows you to select the level of involvement and marketing you want, giving you more control over your equity."The Buyer Fee: "My fee covers my work. The buyer's agent compensation is now a separate discussion. We will set a competitive Buyer Agent Concession amount that we are willing to offer as a closing cost credit, and we will explicitly include that in the Purchase & Sales Agreement, making your listing attractive while keeping the fees transparent."
Buyer Fee Structure
The new market requires a transparent relationship. As an experienced dual-state broker, I charge for my time and expertise, just like your attorney or financial advisor. You decide which fee structure gives you the most confidence."Addressing the "Cost": "Under Option B (Flat-Fee), my fee is $8,000. When we find your perfect home, we will ask the seller for a concession to cover this fee. If the seller agrees to, say, $10,000, you pay my $8,000 fee, and you get a $2,000 credit back at closing, all while being represented by a broker with 34 years of experience."
