Why Buy with Lara
Qualifications
Whether you are buying your first home or your tenth investment property, you will have a more productive, successful and enjoyable real estate experience when you are guided by an experienced professional. Since 2009, I have completed hundreds of real estate transactions—over $250 million in sales—and I know the business from every angle. I’ve worked with home buyers, sellers, developers, landlords, investors doing 1031 exchanges, and trustees of estates. Whatever your situation, I will help you navigate the complexities of the home buying process.
​
Market specialization
I specialize in Cambridge, Somerville and our neighboring communities. This focus allows me to provide my clients with in-depth knowledge of the local housing inventory, property values and market trends. It has also helped me build strong relationships with the local agent community, which I leverage to best position my buyer clients in competitive offer situations and facilitate the transaction through to closing.
​
Philosophy
My business is built on relationships and the vast majority of my clients are either people I’ve helped in the past or their colleagues, friends and family. I want everyone I work with to not only get great results, but also be so happy with the process that they’ll recommend me to everyone they know!
​
Proven Results
In recent years, the local real estate market has been very challenging for buyers. While the rate increases that began in 2022 have cooled things down a bit, we are still contending with historically low inventory that is insufficient to meet demand. Through all the shifts in the market, I have maintained a strong track record of getting my clients’ offers accepted — most of them on their first or second attempt!
