Pauline answers a question from an agent whose qualified buyers keep browsing listings online for months but won’t tour homes, saying it’s likely not the market or the buyers but the agent stepping back from the driver’s seat. She argues that automated alerts and waiting for clients to choose showings hands the search to buyers who can only react to photos, which are designed to attract attention and can misrepresent properties in both directions. Buyers can’t truly understand a home until they stand inside it, so eliminating options from the sofa isn’t a reliable process. Pauline advises agents to be proactive by previewing properties themselves, deciding what’s worth the buyers’ time, and calling (not texting) with a clear read and recommendation, while also resetting expectations that online photos are only the beginning.

We’re thrilled to welcome Fiona Coxe McMahon to our Boston team!

An insider’s edge and a discerning eye: former food writer Fiona says, “I spent years eating through this town—I know how to find what we’re looking for!”

And for her, it always starts with the client. “That’s really how we think at Donnelly + Co., everything begins with you,” she says. “Is this your first home? Are you upsizing or downsizing? Investing? Let’s achieve your goals. And let’s enjoy the process.”

Fiona’s low-stress approach brings great results. And it brings clients back to her time and again. For properties all over Boston, “I put my clients first.” she says simply, “and I really like to stay in touch.”

From the blog of Pauline Donnelly✍🏼

Call it the latest debate in real estate. Simply stated: Should sellers list their home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? Or, as some brokerages insist, will they gain the best possible price with an “exclusive listing” or “off-market sale”?

Let’s give a hearing to both sides of this issue... Read on here: https://donnellyandco.com/should-you-list-your-home-on-the-mls/

ONE BILLION IN SALES🗝️

Thank you to our Donnelly + Co. clients who helped us achieve this extraordinary milestone and continue to support us.

In 2017, Pauline launched D+Co. with just five agents, one listing, and a small office on Newbury Street. Eight years later, we have two offices with over 35 agents in Boston + Martha's Vineyard.

Now allow us a moment to reflect + reminisce on how far we've come...

We are thrilled to announce that we have grown to 40 AGENTS across our Boston + Martha's Vineyard offices! In 2017, D+Co. was launched with one listing and five agents. Today, we have 51 active listings + 40 of the most incredible agents in the business.
