We Are Not a Real Estate Agency. We Are a Team.

A team of informed, engaged, friendly people who live in, work in, walk around, bike through, and think about Cambridge and Somerville every day. We focus on these two communities—and only these—so we can know them inside and out.

We’re real people doing real work. We’re refreshingly honest. We’re agile and responsive, fun—but serious too—smart yet never done learning. We love the work we do, and we work hard at it.

We prepare properties and buyers beautifully. We dig deep to get beyond a superficial understanding of people and places. We understand the interests and intentions involved in negotiations—not just the facts. We brief clients, unwind knotty problems, find creative solutions, set realistic expectations, and get answers to your questions.

We appreciate hard feedback—it makes us better. If there’s ever an opportunity for improvement, we want to know about it. We’re always working to refine our craft.

We love technology and information. We’re analytical and informed. We delight in simple, elegant ways of looking at data and trends.

We’re connectors and community builders. We know plumbers, electricians, landscapers, babysitters, dogwalkers, and folks who fix things. We love our local tradespeople—and we love making the right introductions at just the right time.​

We genuinely want to hear from you. Call us, stop by our office, send us an email or text any time—we’re open, available, and here to help.

Any agent can suggest locations, schedule viewings, and send out new listings. But the best and very few agents provide problem-solving, industry insight, intuition, and personalization. Alberto is one of these fantastic agents. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Anyone saying they had no problems during their transaction is lying. What really matters is how you respond to the problems. Alberto has the industry insight and experience to guide you through any curveball the complicated housing industry can throw at you. He really understood what our needs were and gave invaluable experience that can only come from many successful transactions. I can't imagine all of the problems Alberto has encountered in this industry, but the success from each transaction has led me to be grateful for his experiences, and I am confident you will be too. It took us a while in the current market, and Alberto was very patient with us throughout the entire process and understanding that we had desires for our big purchase. Today we are enjoying the sunset from our balcony, thank you, Alberto!

Alberto helped me sell my condo in Somerville while I was living in California, and the whole process was smoother than I could have dreamed. He and his team think of everything: from photographing the exterior of the house months in advance so that the landscaping looks its best, to managing fire alarm inspections, to coordinating with my neighbors to minimize any inconvenience. I am so grateful! I thought for sure I would need to fly home to manage some of the details, but Alberto and his team truly handled everything. He knows the market so well and got me a price for the condo that I was so, so pleased with.

Seller
If you are a first-time home buyer looking in Cambridge and Somerville, you can’t go wrong working with Alberto. He helped me find a condo that checked all my boxes, then went above and beyond while I was under contract for nearly a year. His responsiveness and negotiating skills helped me greatly during the homebuying process. He also has great connections. I was very satisfied with the attorney and home inspector he recommended. He genuinely cares about his clients, so you’ll be in good hands if you decide to work with him.

Professional, knowledgeable, and kind; with Alberto, you couldn't be in more capable hands. His market expertise and warm communication style make the real estate process much less daunting. I feel fortunate to have Alberto in my corner and would highly recommend both him and his team.

One of the best real estate agents! Excellent negotiator. Mike was our buyer's agent for our condo purchase in Boston, and he was exceptional in every way, from the search to the negotiation of the offer and other items. Highly recommended!

We have worked with Mike on a number of transactions in the Cambridge area, and in all cases, he has been exceptional. He has a deep understanding of the local market, always keeps us apprised of new and upcoming inventory that might fit our criteria, and he has great intuition on comps and valuation. Moreover, when it came time to make an offer, Mike was a great thought partner and formulated a perfect strategy to help us get our dream home at a price we were comfortable with. Mike and team also have a great “feel” for closing the transaction and make all of the steps following the accepted offer easy, transparent, and stress-free. We have no doubt that we will be working with Mike, Lauren, and the team for any future real estate needs down the road - they are the best!

Thank you so much, Mike and Lauren! It was pure joy working with you two! Thank you for all your diligent and tireless work (especially Mike who did most of the heavy lifting, expert guidance (especially to you Lauren - you have such steady hands and always know what's best to do in every situation and make us feel well-supported), top-notch service with meticulous attention to detail, and above all, your true partneship as we navigate our very first home sale process. It was fun! Hope we get to do this again together in the future. You'll be the first I'll turn to for our next home sale.

​Amazing! Lauren Holleran and Alberto Ovalle are incredible. I have bought and sold property with them and have been extremely impressed by them. They are experts: what they do, from knowing neighborhoods, choosing the right pricing, and taking care of all the details for selling. Every time, it was a hands-off, easy process with through-the-roof customer service. Incredible team!
