Roberto Marchetto, Realtor at Keller Williams REALTOR® at KW Boston MetroWest | Italian 🇮🇹 living in Newton, MA | Talks about Always on the move, always searching for a new place to call home.

For 25 years I had the privilege of working for some of the world’s most luxurious hotels. My journey took me from my hometown of Milan, Italy to exciting destinations across Europe, Asia and the United States. In total, eight relocations through five countries on three continents. I decided to transition from hospitality to real estate because I saw an opportunity to bring my experience to an industry that helps people purchase one of the most meaningful assets of their lives. During my many moves, I was often struck by how transactional the process felt, and I wanted the chance to make it better for others. My purpose is simple: to raise the standard of how real estate is bought and sold in the communities I serve. I do this by building genuine relationships, understanding each client’s unique goals, and ensuring their experience is as seamless and stress free as possible, just as I once wished it had been for me.

Open houses are essential for me.

Of course, I’m there to help sell the home. But they’re also one of the best ways for me to stay connected to what buyers are experiencing in the market.

You hear what people like, what gives them pause, what they think about pricing, and what they’re struggling to find.

Some conversations last five minutes. Some pick up again months later. Many go nowhere.

But every open house teaches me something, and that makes me better at what I do.

When a buyer tells me they like a house, I usually ask one more question:

What do you like about it?

Sometimes the answer is obvious. Other times they have to think about it.

Either way, it helps me understand what is really standing out to them and what we should be paying attention to as we keep looking.

Remembering those we lost on September 11, 2001, and honoring all those whose lives were forever changed that day.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

“Should we just wait until spring?”

It’s a reasonable question, especially for homeowners who know a move may be coming but aren’t sure about the timing.

Spring typically brings more buyers. It also brings more homes for those buyers to choose from.

That doesn’t mean selling in the fall is necessarily better. It just means the season alone shouldn’t make the decision.

I’d look at the home, the competition, what buyers are doing in that particular market and, most importantly, what works for the homeowner.

If you’re already wondering whether to sell this fall or wait until spring, it’s worth having that conversation now. You don’t need to wait until you’re ready to put a sign in the yard.

When a home has been on the market for a while, the first reaction is often: What’s wrong with it?

The other is: The seller must be ready to accept a low offer.

Maybe. But before assuming either, I look at the full listing history. Where did the price start? Has it been reduced, relisted or come back on the market? What else was available at the time? How did similar homes do?

I also want to understand what may have made other buyers hesitate. Sometimes there is a real concern. Sometimes the price was too high from the start. And sometimes the photos or presentation simply didn’t do the home any favors.

More time on the market may give a buyer some negotiating room. But it doesn’t automatically make the home a good deal. It still has to make sense for that particular buyer.

I see this happen quite a bit: buyers leave a showing liking a home, but they may still have questions or a few things they’re unsure about.

Then we find out that someone else is making an offer, and suddenly the home feels much harder to walk away from.

It’s understandable. Nobody likes the thought of missing out on something they want.

But that is also when I ask buyers to pause and consider: would you still want this home this much if we were the only ones making an offer?

This isn’t about talking anyone out of competing. If it’s the right home, putting together a strong offer may make perfect sense.

I just want my buyers to feel good about the decision after the offer is accepted and the urgency is gone.

08/09/2026

In recent years, we’ve gotten used to seeing homes sell within days (or even hours!) of going live.

Now things are changing: more and more homes are making it through the first weekend without an offer. Sometimes the second, too.

That doesn’t automatically mean there’s something wrong with the home.

Price matters. So do condition, presentation, timing and what else buyers have to choose from. But once a home has been exposed to the market, the response starts telling us something.

Are buyers coming through but not making offers? Is activity lighter than expected? Are different buyers raising the same concerns?

Those are all pieces of information worth paying attention to.

A good listing strategy isn’t just about what happens before a home hits the market. It’s also about knowing how to read the response once it does.

If you’re considering selling, I can take a look at your home and talk through how I would approach it in today’s market.

When touring homes with buyers, people often assume I'm focused on the kitchen, the finishes, or the condition of the property.

Of course those things matter.

But in the first few minutes, I'm often paying even closer attention to my buyers.

Which room do they head to first? What makes them stop and look around? What features keep drawing them back?

Those reactions help me understand what they're really looking for, even when they haven't quite found the words to describe it yet.

Buying a home is about more than finding the right property. It's about finding the right fit.

Choosing a real estate agent is a big decision.

Experience matters. Local knowledge matters. Marketing matters.

But those things only tell part of the story.

At the end of the day, you're choosing someone to help you navigate important decisions, whether you're buying your first home, selling after many years, or somewhere in between.

Here are five qualities I'd encourage anyone to look for:

👂 Someone who listens before advising.
📖 Someone who explains every step clearly.
💬 Someone who gives honest advice, even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.
🎯 Someone who sets realistic expectations from the beginning.
🤝 Someone who never applies pressure.

The right agent won't simply help you complete a transaction.

They should help you understand your options, make informed decisions, and feel confident throughout the process.
