Somerville's Best Realtor

Buying or renting in Somerville is a contact sport. You need someone who knows Davis Square like a regular knows the sound of the Red Line.

This list swings from patient guides for terrified first-timers to heavy hitters who unloaded a house in four days flat. Thalia Tringo held my hand through closing; Steve Bremis nailed my pricing comps like a dartboard pro.

Some folks here are great for landlords, others for nervous tenants. Pick your fighter.

Overall, a solid crew for renters who need honesty and hustle. I slept better knowing they had my back.
