EXPERIENCE MATTERS

MORE THAN TWO DECADES ON THE GROUND — AND WE'VE DONE IT TOGETHER.

I'm not the agent who disappears after the listing. I'm the one who tells you what I really think, explains your options, and protects your interests from the first call to the final walkthrough.

For much of my real estate career, I've had Joseph beside me. We've worked together for years, helping buyers and sellers throughout the North Shore. That is experience — hundreds of transactions, changing markets, difficult negotiations, and just about every situation you can imagine — is something I bring to every client I work with today.

I know the North Shore. I've lived here since 1976 and have been licensed to sell real estate since 2003.

Joseph and I have spent years working together, negotiating deals and helping our clients navigate some of the biggest decisions they will ever make.

When you work with me, you're getting the benefit of all those years of experience — not just a sales pitch.

October on the North Shore: The Month That Shows a Town's True Character

October is the month the coastal North Shore towns Kathleen serves show their true character. The summer crowds are gone, the air by the water turns crisp, and the season settles into its own rhythm: open houses in the morning, foliage drives in the afternoon, and evenings that belong to the year-round communities. This is what fall actually feels like here, and why so many homeowners and buyers find themselves thinking about a move.

Peak Color Is Almost Here: Foliage Forecast for the North Shore, October 2026

Foliage forecasters currently expect peak color in much of Massachusetts around the middle of October, with forecasts as of early October pointing to roughly October 9-21 for much of the state, and coastal Massachusetts often reaching peak a bit later into the month. For Boston households, that makes the North Shore the natural October weekend: an easy drive or commuter-rail ride from the city, with quiet beaches, harbor light, and small-town pace the city cannot offer.

Where I know the ground

One coastline, eleven towns, a hundred different markets.

I live here, I work here, and I know how Beverly differs from Beverly Farms, and why that matters to your sale. Where you are on the North Shore makes a tremendous difference.
