Welcome to the North Shore, Buyer
If you are thinking about buying a home on Boston's Coastal North Shore, this is a good place to start. I am Kathleen Militello, a Realtor® with eXp Realty, licensed since 2003 and here to help you find the right home, understand its value, and negotiate with confidence.
A note from Kathleen
Let's find the right home for you.
Welcome. If you are reading this, you are probably standing at the start of a big decision, and I want you to know you do not have to figure it out alone. Buying a home is one of the most personal moves you will make, and it should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
I have been licensed in Massachusetts since 2003 and have spent those years on Boston's Coastal North Shore, helping buyers find the right property, understand what it is really worth, negotiate confidently, and navigate every step from the initial search through closing.
I know the towns here in a way that only comes from living and working among them: Beverly, Salem, Marblehead, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, Ipswich, Newburyport, and the communities beyond. Each one has its own personality, its own light, its own way of life. My job is to help you find the one that feels like yours.
Let's talk about what makes sense for you. Bring your questions, your timeline, and your honest list of must-haves. I will bring the local knowledge and the experience to back it up.
Warmly, Kathleen
What to expect
What it's like working with me
No scripts and no mystery. Just a clear, consultative process that keeps you informed and in control.
We get aligned
We start with your goals, must-haves, timeline, and the budget you are comfortable with. I listen first and tell you what I really think, so the search is aimed at the right target from the start.
Pre-approval, together
I will point you to a trusted local lender and walk you through the numbers. Knowing exactly what you can afford makes every later step calmer and clearer.
Targeted town tours
Every North Shore town has its own character. We tour the communities that match the life you want, and I help you understand the differences between them as we go.
An informed offer strategy
Before we write an offer, we study recent sales, the home’s condition, and how the market is moving, so your offer is both competitive and comfortable for you.
Negotiation that protects you
When it is time to negotiate, I am on your side. My job is to protect your interests and get you terms you feel good about.
All the way through closing
Inspection, appraisal, paperwork, walkthrough, keys. I stay with you at every step so nothing surprises you between the accepted offer and closing day.
Let's start with the basics

Start by exploring the communities I serve, then let's talk about which ones fit the life you have in mind.
